' is soon
~'W' restored to its
original color, with the gloss and
freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and
baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can re
store the Lair where the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied
and decayed. But such as remain
can be saved for usefulness hy tins
application. Instead of fouling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent baldness.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara
tions dangerous and injurious to
the hair, the Vigor can only benefit
but not harm it. If wanted merely
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cam
bric, and yet lasts long on the hair,
giving it a rich glossy lustre and a
grateful perfume.

A Singular Accident.
A cst sin :al:ir fatal accident occurred
at 1 n Piwnei Gioton, near New Castle,
ti:e other day. Ann Eliza Wcisner, a
young Miss of eleven years, started to go
to tie: spring house at her mother’s resi
dence for butter and milk for supi <*r. S lie
did not mlarn as soon as expected and her
modi- r folio-,vcl to see what detained tier.
Anivirig near the spring house, Mrs.
W i t. iv..: surprised to find her daugh
ter lying 11 l on the ground, with her face
hm ied in a crock of water, and was ter
ribly shocked when on raising her up the
young girl was found to be dead. Miss
Wei-m-r v, is m perfect health, never had
a hiding fit of any kind, and iLo only
manner in which the sad aeei 1. lit <an he
auco..u'xd for is that .-he stumbled and
fell, her head striking the crock with
such force that the blow rendered her in
sensible and powerless, and that her face
being buried in the water, she drowned.
The wound or mark of violence was a
bruise on the nose, which, while not
sufficient to cause her death, might have
stunned her so that she was unah'e to
help herself. The crock in which Miss
Wcisner was drowned was an ordinary
flat two gallon crock, and had been sot
under the cave of the spring hou e roof
to catch .-oft water, — Filtshurg lender.
Some sheep belonging to a farmer

course everybody joined in the collection.
It was a little hard on the boy, for he
meant well and had a sincere admiration
for the girl. They wore sitiing .-it the
tea table with a company of others, and
as ho passed her the sugar lie murmured
in au undertone: “Here it is, sweet, just
like you.” The compliment was a little
awkward, to be sure, hut he meant it, and j
it seemed more than cruel when, in a
moment later she had occasion to pass
the butter to him, she drawled: “Here
it is, soft, just like ytu-”

There was an exhibition in a store in !
Dupont street, San Francisco, last week,
a mammoth hunch of grapes from the
great grape vine of Santa Barbara (a
cutting from the u ouster sent to the cen
cennial). This cluster weighs one hum
dred and twenty-live pounds, is six feet
in circumference, and three loot long.
The vine from which this was cut is six
teen years old, and produces annually
10,000 to 12,000 pounds of grapes- This
is probably too largest Lunch of grapes

Last night the wife of Justice Moses
was aroused from a sound sleep hy a stern
voice:
“Are you ready for trial, I say?”
“Hnsh —don’t make a noise or else
you’ll wake the baby,” she replied, en

“Don’t talk back to tnis court,” he
vociferated; “if you’ve got any witnesses
bring 'em on, hut let your lawyer do the
talking.”
“Why, Tom, how you take on. What
is the matter?”
“I send you up for sixty days—that’s
what's the matter. Here, Enders, take
her away. Now I’ui ready for that petit
larceny case —bring up the prisoner,” and
jumping out of bed lie started toward the
next room to summon a jury, hut fell over
a rocking chair, barked his shins, woke
up, and asked his wife what was the mat

“My dear,” said a Harris county man
the other day to his wife, “see here, the
