The Restorative of Prof. 0. J. W6od for Hcstorlng hair
perfectly and permanent!}, has never yet had a rival, vol
ume after volume might he given from all parts of the
world and from the most, intelligent to prove that it u a
perfect Restorative; hat read the circular and yon cannot
douht; read also the following. 1
Hair.—People have for centuries been afflicted
with bald beads and the only remedy, heretofore knowib
baa be<m those abominable wigs. By a recent discovery of
Professor Wood these articles are being fust d j»i«iospd with
but a great many persona' still patronize them, because
they hare been so often imposed upon by Hair Tonics of
differehtkihas. To all such persons We earnestly maks
tho request, that they win try once again, for in Wood’s
Restorative there is no such .tiling as tall. We know ofa
lady who whs bald, who used the article a short time, and
her head.isriuw covered completely with’ the tiniest and
most beautiful curls imaginable. Wo know of numerous
cases whefe hair was rapidly falling out, which it restored
In greater perfection than it ever hod been before.
It is also without doubt ons of the best articles for keep
ing the hair in good condition,, making it soft and glossy,
removing dandruff, and has proved Itself Abe greatest ene
my to all the Uls that .hair is heir to*;
It Is the duty of every One to Improve their personal «p
-peaniuee though some may differ in regard to the ways of
doing it; but every one will admit that a beantifnl head of
hair, either in man or woman, is an object much to bo de
sired, and thoro are no meads that should be left untried to
obtain such a consideration.—TßrnianV Advocate, Phila ‘
t L Ohio, Nov. 17,1866.
O. J. WOOD A CO.—Gents; AS 1 have been engaged in
•ailing yonr Hair Kestorativo the last season for one of
yonr local agents (B. M. Hackinson,) and having cxpcrl
kneed the honeßcial effects of it myselE I would like to ob
tain an ag<mcy for the State of Ohio or some State in the
Wad, should you wish to make such an arrangement; as I
am convinced lAcrefc nothing equal to itin the {foiled State,
forrutoring the hair. I have been engaged in the Drug
business for several years, and have sold various prepara
ublQß for.the b&lr, h&T6 found nothing that restores the
secretive organs or invigorates the scalp as well as yours,
being fully convinced that your restorative IS what you
represeut.it .to be, J would like to engage in.the sale of it,

PROF. ,0. J. WOOD A CO,—Gents: Having realized tlis
goop effects of your Hair Restorative. I wish to state, that
finding my,hair growing thin, as well as gray, ! was in
duced from what I read and hoard, to try the article preA

A Balloon Blde witb a Madman.
A French paper gives the following
thrilling narrative of the last balloon as
cension made by Monsieur Godard from
Paris: —
Monsieur Godard took with him on that
his companion, a wealthy, private
gentleman, who paid 1,000 francs for the
privilege of sharing in the perils of, the
expedition. The weather codhPnot have
heeft more propitious, and the; balloon shot
up rapidly to a considerable altitude.
“i\V hat effect does that produce upon
you?” asked M. Godard of his companion.
“Nothing !” said the latter, laconically.
' compliments to yop,” said M.
Godard. “ You are the first jrhoim I have
ever; seen arrive at such an altitude with
out betraying some emotion.”
“ Ivecp on mounting,” said the traveler,
with a gravity supreme. 4
M. Godard threw over some ballast, and
the balloon ascended some 500 feet higher.
“ And now,” added M. Godard, “does
your heart beat ?”
“Nothing yet!” replied hjs companion,
with an air which approached closely to
impatience.
“The devil I” exclaimed M. Godard;
“ you -have really, my dear sir, the most
perfect qualifications to be an aeronaut,”
The balloon still ascendedwhen 1,000
feet higher M. Godard interrogated a third
time ; his companion.
“And now?”
“Nothing, nothing; not the shadow of
a fear whatever ?” answered the traveler,
with: a tone positively. discontented, and
like a man who bad experienced a profound
deception.;
“Goodness me! so much the worse,
then;” said the aeronaut, smiling; I
must renounce all hopes of making you
afraid. The balloon is high enough. We
are going to descend.”
“To descend?”
“ Certainlyi; there would bn danger in
mounting higher.”
“ Thatdoes not make the slightest differ
ence jto me; I do not choose to descend.”
“ Sou what?” asked M. Godard.
• “I say X wish to ascend higher; keep
on mounting. 1 have given one thousand
franra to experience some emotion; I must
do and 1 will not descend before I have
felt some emotion.”
3tf. ; Gpdard commenced to laugh; he
helitited at onc. that it was ail a joke.
“Will you ascend, once, more?” de
i manded the traveler,' seizing him bj the
throat and 'shaking him with violence—
: When shall I feel aome emotion !”
: M.? 6 odard relates that at this moment
she felt himself lost. A sudden and dread
ful- revelation broke upon him in regard
iing the strangely dilated eyes of his com*
Ipanibp ] he had to do with a madman I.
i If even the unfortunate mrQnaut had

he, with a calm tone and submissive air.
; “Simply to amuse myself in seeing you

a put;

i of my heart.
The madman indicated with his finger
the upper part of the balloon. Just in
speaking he commenced to climb along the
cords which held the oar attached to the
balloon.
M, Godard, who had not before trem
bled for himself, was forced to doiso now
for the madman.^
“ Bat, miserable man, you are going to
kill yourself. You will be seized with
vertigo.”
“ No remarks,” hissed the the madman,
seizing him again by the collar, “ or I will
at once pitch you into the abyss.”
“At least,” observed M. Godard, “ al
low me to put this cord round your body,
so that you may remain attached to'the
balloon.”
“Be it so,” said the madman, who ap
peared to comprehend the utility of the
precaution.
This done, furnishecl with hia cord of
safety, the madman commenced to climb
among the ropes- with the agility of a
squirrel. He reached the balloon, and
placed himself astride the Semicircle, as he
hud said. Once there, he rent the air with
a shout of triumph and drew his knife
from his pocket.
“ What are you going to do?” asked
M. Godard, who feared that he might have
the idea of ripping open the balloon.
“To make inyself comfortable forth
with.”
Uttering these words, the madman cut
slowly the cord of safety which M. Go
dard had to his body. With a
single puff of wind to shake the balloon,
the miserable creature must roll over the
abyss!
“ And now,” yelled forth the madman,
brandishing his knife, “we are going to
laugh. Ah, robber, you thought to make
me descend ! Very well. It is you who
are going to tuntble down, in a moment,
and quicker than that!”
M. Godard bad not time to make a
movement or put in a single word. Before
be was able to divine the infernal intention
of the madman, the latter, still astride of
the, semicircle, had cut —oh, horror! —
four of the cordages which suspended the
car to the balloon. The car inclines hor
ribly-—it only holds by two.
“ A word, a single word,” died M.
Godard.
“ No, no pardon,” vociferated the mad
man.
*‘l do not ask for pardon, on the con
trary.”
“ What is it you wish, then?” said the
madman, s stonished.
“At this moment now,” continued the
aeronaut, hurriedly, “ we are at a height of
5,000 feet." *
“Stop,” said the madman, “that will
be charming, to tumble down from such a
height.”
“ It is still too low,” added M. Godard.
“ How so ?” asked the madman, stupe
fied.
“ kes,” said M. Godard, “my experi
ence as an aeronaut has taught mp that
death is not; certain to ensue from a fall
from this elevation. Tumble, or no tum-
I must prefer to fall from such a bight
as to be killed outright, rather than to risk
being only lamed—have the charity to
precipitate me from a height of 9,000 feet
only.”
“Ah! that’ll do!” said the madman,
whom the mention of a more horrible fall
charmed amazingly.
M. Godard follows heroically his pur
pose, and throws over an enormous quan
tity of ballast. The balloon make a pow
erful bound, and mounts 500 feet in a few
seconds. Only—and whilst the madm'an
surveys this operation with a menacing air
—the aeronaut thinks to accomplish anoth
er, in a sense quite contrary.
The quick eye of M. Godard had re
marked that among the cords spared by
the madman figured the one leading to the
valve. His plan is taken. He draws the
cord, it (mens the valve fixed in the upper
par t of the balloon for the purpose of al
lowing any, excess of the hydrogen gas to
escape; and the result which he hoped for
was not long in making itself 'apparent.
Little by little the madman, becomes
urowsy, asphyxiated, and insensiblehy the
vapors of the gas which surround him.—
The madmanbeing sufficiently asphxiated
for his purpose,- el. Godard allows the
balloon to descend slowly to the earth,
finished.
Arrived on terra M. Godard, not
bearing any hatred to the author of his
Nperiloos voyage, hastened to restore' him
to animation, and had him conveyed, hands
and feet bound, to the neighboring sta
tion. . ;

adultery, or two years abandonment. In
Kbode Island impotency, adultery* ex
treme cruelty, willful desertion for the
space of five, years, continued'drunkenness,
neglect of the husband to provide neces
sSwea for thoßubsistoqce of the wife, gross
misbehavior and wickedness repugnant to
the marriage contract. In Neiv Jersey di
voroeia granted for prior existing marriage,
adultery, and willful absence for five years.
In Vermont for non-age, mental incapa
bility, impotency, force or fraud, adultery,
confinement in the State Prison for three
years or mo/e, intolerable severity, willful
desertion for three years, absence for seven

cruel treatment endangering life, intolera
ble indignities, vagrancy of the husband.
In lowa the same causes exist as in Mis
souri, to which is super added, “ when the
parties cannot live iu’peaoe and happiness,
and their welfare requires a separation.”
The law of Arkansas is the sante as in
Missouri, except* that one year’s absence
is sufficient to free the abandoned party
from the bonds of marriage. In Tennes
see and Mississippi the law is nearly simi
lar ; while in Florida, to like enactments
are added habitual indulgence, of violent
and ungovernable temper for one year, or
drunkenness or desertion for one year.
In North Carolina, impotency, adultery,
abandonment, turning the. wife out of
doors, cruelty or indignity oh the part of
the husband, or any ether Just cause. In
Texas impotency, esjeess, or cruel treat
ment, or outrages, or desertion for three
years; the husband may have a divorce
for the adultry of his wife, and the wife
when the husband abandons her and lives
in adultery. In Maryland the law is the
same as in New York, except that aban
donment and three years absence from the
State is a cause for divorce. In Georgia
the old English ecclesiastical law governs.
In Newhampshire and Ohio similar laws
to those of Vermont prevail. Extreme
cruelty and absence /for three years are
causes of divorce in; Delaware, to which
Pennsylvania has added intolerable indig
nities Congrees has never, conferred the
power to grant divorce upon the courts in
the District of Columbia.
