DEATH'S DOINGS.
The death of Mr. Joun NEAGLE, long
known in this City as a portrait-painter of
merit and reputation, has not taken the
public by surprise, for he had been in feeble
health for some years. A native of Boston,
mr, NEMILE came to Philadelphia at an
early age, received a sound ordinary educa
tion, went through a regular apprenticeship
to coach and ornamental painting, and
thence diverged into regular art. He com
menced portrait-painting, in - Kentucky,
more than forty-five years ago. Thence
went to New Orleans, and finally returned
toPhiladelphia, where•he remained. Speed
ily he obtained a large share of patronage,
became popular in society as a well-read
gentleman with high conversational powers,
married a daughter of THOMAS SULLY, that
Nestor of the art, assisted to found the
Artists' Fund Society and the Academy of
the Fine Arts, and for many years was an
able and flourishing painter. Latterly
he was afflicted with a severe 'illness,
which greatly impeded the further prac
tice of his art. He was about sixty
seven years old. As a portrait-painter,
Mr. NEAGLE ranked' in the second
class—assuming that Mr. SULLY stands in
the first. He produced good, strong—
what may he called striking likenesses,
distinguished rather by the breadth than
the delicacy of their execution. Such are
the portraits of Parasols Lvost, the black
smith, and the full length of HENRY CLAY.
There is no mistaking the latter : it shows
the great orator, "living, as he spoke;"
but a little of the courtliness and grace of
Mr. SULLY would have wonderfully im
proved it. In a word, Mr. NEAGLE, as
compared with Mr. Sneer—who survives,
full of honors, years, and exhaustless ge
nius—stood like Mr. JOHN JACKSON, in
England, as compared with Sly THOMAS
LAWRENCE.,
Madame Kossterrs, wife of the illustrious
and eloquent Hungarian patriot, has lately
died, at Turin, worn out by a painful illness
which had prostrated her for many years.
Tier remains were removed to Genoa, to be
there interred by the side of her only daugh
ter, who had died a few years ago. One by
one, nearly all the near relatives and inti
mate Mends of Louss Kos:strut have passed
away into the eternity of the future. Wife
less and childless, be now stands almost
alone—bound to earth only by the lingering
hope that, ere the death-angel also summon
him, his beloved Hungary may be restored
to freedom and to nationality.
There are few who have not read or
heard of" The Lucubrations of Sam Slick,
of Slickville, Clockmaker." Mr. T. C.
HALIBURTON, author of this book, which
established him as an humorist of the
highest order, was a native of Nova Scotia,
and, a lawyer by profession, rose to the
rank of chief justice of that colony:. He
was nearly forty years old before he com
menced, in a Nova Scotia newspaper, the
shrewd Slick letters, which a sagacious
New York publisher collected, in. 1835, and
brought out in book shape with remarkable
success. Mr. HALIBURTON produced a
second and a third series of this work, and,
carrying his hero over to London, as a
member of the United States embassy
there gave his experience of British society,
in a volume entitled " The Attaché." He
produced many other books, among which
"The Letter-Bag of the Great Western"
alone maintained the writer's peculiar repu
tation. The imitation, in that book, of
Miss Falvey Knsreea's remarkable " Jour
nal" style was, one might say, but for its
palpable Irishism, more faithful than the
original. Retiring from his judicial posi
tion, OR- a handsome pension, Mr. HALT
BURTON went to live in England. He was
made D. C. L., (Doctor of Civil Law,) by
the University of Oxford, in 1858, and in
the year following the late Duke of North
umberland, who admired his wit and fully
sympathized with his ultra Toryism,
placed him in the House of Commons as
M. P. for the Cornish borough of Larces
ton. In this capacity he failed. His voice
was so weak that the reporters could not
hear him, and when he did speak, which
was seldom, he uttered only plain, dry,
commonplace facts about the Colonic& At
the recent General Election he did not at
tempt to return to Parliament. He was
sixty-eight years old when he died.
•` The last rose" of a once glorious sum
mer has departed. The London news
papers announce, among .tlie deaths, "On
September 4th, at Stoperton. Cottage, Mrs.
MOORE, widow of the late THOMAS Moone,
Esq., author of Lalkt Rookie, aged 68."
There must be some error as to the lady's
age in this obituary. Moonn was married
in 1811, which is fifty-four years ago ; and
the above record would make Mrs. Moone
only fourteen at the time of her nuptials,
whereas she was fully twenty-one. She
was one of the step-daughters of an itine
rant dancing-master, named DYKE, who
taught in the South of Ireland—chiefly in
Mallow, Fernany, Mitchelstown, and Lis
more—for several years before and after the
young lady became Mrs. Tirostas Moonc.
Two of her sisters went on the stage ; Mrs.
DUFF, one of them, came to the United
States, where she was admired as an
actress and respected . as a gentlewoman.
Miss BESSY DYKE, as she was called,
was the youngest of the family—so petite
and pretty as to have obtained the so
briquet of "the Pocket Venus." It was
DYKE'S fortune, for a season or two, to have
an app2intment as ballet-master at the far
famed Kilkenny private theatricals, in
which nobles and poets, lawyers and sol
diers, historians and landlords, millionaires
and men of letters, were delighted at being
allowed to strut their brief hour upon the
stage. MOORE, who was one of the ama
teurs, besides writing prologues, epilogues,
and song, for all the others, was particular
ly attracted by the beauty and grace of Mr.
DYKE'S little step-daughter, who had been
employed as a figurante. This was in 1810,
and, during the season of 1811, his admira
tion having matured into affection, a pri
vate marriage took place, which, though
concealed at first, was soon made public.
His relations were disappointed at the time.
They probably expected that MOORE would
have wed a great heiress, if not a peeress; but
the amiability of the lady soon conquered all
coolness. She was a devoted wife and mo
ther, and Moony was as much attached to
her as his great self-esteem and conquettish
nature permitted. It is believed that his
song, "Fly from the World, oh Bessy,
With me," was addressed to Mrs. MOORE.
It was published, however, in Little's
Poems, some eight or nine years before he
first saw her. Mrs. MOORE'S later years
glided away in an easy manner. She had
a Government allowance of $l,OOO a year
for life, and at least as much more from the
$20,000 which LONGMAN & CO., the London
publishers, gave her for Moortx's Diary
and Letters, which were edited, not in the
most satisfactory manner, by his friend,
Lord RUSSELL. All of MOORE'S children
died before himself. Some direct de
scendants -Of Mrs. Scueev, his sister, are
natives of Tipperary, where, we believe,
they can be found.
There remains one more death to record.
The Cork Examiner announces the loss of
Mr. JOHN WINDELE, a gentleman well
known and highly prized as one of the most
learned, laborious, and accurate of Irish
antiquaries: He " had been fading away,"
SYS are told, "day after day, for the past
two or three years," and was " somewhere
about fifty-nine, when he Was struck by the
terrible disease ‘paralysis), which at once
crippled the body and dimmed the bright
ness of the mind. But one month /afore
the stroke fell, there were fewer, st7rdier
frames than. his, few clearer or more active
minds than' his." It was to such men as
WINDELR,, that, after MA.Gricst, MUMMY,
Doti , DEN, CALLANAtit O'DBIKOLL I SHEA,
O'LEARY, BALDIVIITy WALSH; had paSSed
off the troubled stage of life--cketime
ahadows, so depart,' that 90r11 . still has a
first claim to the proud , title ' of "The
Athens of Ireland." He never received
the polish of an University, but to hint the
study of literature was its own exceeding
great reward, and he devoted all his leisure
hours to close and useful study. His daily
occupation for about forty years, in the
sheriff's office at Cork, was not very con
genial to literature, but he performed its
routine duties with an union of ability, ex
actness, and zeal which secured to him
the perpetual regard of his superior
fu.nctionaries—a regard which has been
tangibly manifested, since his death, by the
appointment of his son to the situation so
long filled by the father. Mr. WrxnEnr's
strength, as a man of letters, lay in Irish,
and partieularly in local history. No man
ever lived who had acquired such a
familiar knowledge of Ireland of the
past. He had taught himself, among
other things, the Ogham language,
-which is carved on many shattered
stones and mouldering monuments of Ire
land—a language which closely resembles
the old Phcenieian, as still found on ancient
Etruscan relics, an identity which is be
lieved to go far in tracing the Irish race
back to an Eastern origin. He wrote much
and well upon the Round Towers of Ire
land, and was the first to suggest, we be
lieve, that they had been raised, as memo
rial edifices, over the illustrious dead—a
theory whose truth mFas proved by every exa
mination yet made. Mr. WINDELE was
member of the principal literary and
antiquarian societies of Ireland, and had
largely contributed to their published
transactions. His earliest contribution to
general literature was in Bolster's Quarterk
Magazine of Ireland, as far back as 1825-26,
and consisted of an account of a tour from
Gougane Barra, the source of the pleasant
waters of the river Lee, to its mouth, and
was full of humor as well as of research.
Indeed, until lately, when he grew sad,
as he saw friend after friend drop through
the broken arches of the bridge of life, Mr.
Wrasiumu was not only social, but gay,
witty, and of exhaustless good spirits. His
chief separate publications is "Historical
and other Notices of the City of Cork and
its vicinity, Gougane Barra, Glengariir,
and Killarney." This, which went through
a second edition, and sold largely in Eng
land, has long been out of print. The
Cork Examiner says that Mr. liVirtnELF:s
" Guide to Killarney has been, and will
yet be most useful to those who live upon
the brains of their fellows." He had ac
cumulated a very valuable library, particu
larly rich in Irish antiquities and literature,
and his collection of autographs, illustrated
with engravings and newspaper cuttings,
is one of the best in Ireland. Finally, Jonw
WIND.= was a true man, a man of gentle
manners and blameless life, whose Iteart - y
was so kind that we doubt if any opportu
nity or provocation would tempt him to
harm even an enemy.
LARGE DOMAINS in the hands of single
proprietors seem antagonistic to the best
interests of the people ; monopolies of the
earth appear as injurious and as destruc
tive to liberty as any of those old privi
leges for monopolizing food or merchandise
granted by tyrannical sovereigns to syco
phantic favorites to the detriment Of whole
classes of the community, and which have
time and again been the cause of revolution
and wholesale massacre.
Looking back on the earlier civilizations
we .find large districts of earth vested in the
hands of a single owner, and all the arti
rang and laborers in servitude, Later still,
in France prior to the Revolution, the land
was in the possession of a few masters,
while the agricultural community was de
based to a condition of complete vassalage,
and the poverty of the country, the want
of all those improvements gained by a com
munity of feeling, where an enlightened
people work for their own interests in
serving the needs of all, and the whole
general condition of society offers a striking
parallel to the most retrograde districts of
our own South. Russia, in more modern
times, presents an example of a somewhat
similar position of affairs, and even Eng
land, with her boasted "Teomanry, a
country's pride," holds her agricultural poor
in a species of pauperism, which is a virtual
vassalage of the bitterest and most blighting
kind.
To elevate the agricultural laborer into
real freedom, the land must be divided
so that each man owns his portion, or
at least th 6 subdivision must be continued
until the proportion of workmen is so small
that each has an interest in the land he cul
tivates either by tenantry, shareholding,
or the high rate of wages he can command.
In simplest statement the land-worker has
not really achieved his freedom until human
muscle is so valuable that animal force and
mechanical power must be brought to his
assistance.
Newspaper Change.
We notice that a change has taken place in
the proprietorship of the Saturday Evening
Post; established in this city in the year
and always a readable and respectable paper.
The firm of Deacon & Peterson, its proprietors,
is dissolved—Mr. Deacon retiring, and his in
terest in the paper being purchased by Mrs.
Bella Z. Spencer, whose husband, Gen. Spen
cer, took part in Sherman's wonderful march
to the sea. The firm will have the title of
"Henry Peterson & C 0.," and Mrs. Spencer,
who has edited the paper for some months,
will continue her services in that capacity.
Bryant, the poet, promises to contribute.
Emerson Bennett, who will write exclusively
for the paper, will soon commence a new story
in it, ami Virginia F. Townsend, bin. Henry
Wood, and other contributors retain their con
nection with the paper. MTS. Spender herself,
who is a novelist of considerable ability, will
commence a new serial tale early next year.
Miss Anna E. Dickenson.
This lady, - whose eloquence, patriotism, and
earnestness are too well known to require any
eulogium here, has accepted an invitation to
addreSS the public, on the evening of Tuesday,
October 3d, in the Academy of Afusie, on the
"Record of the Democratic Party during the
Rebellion." The invitation, which has been
numerously and most respectably signed, will
be published in a few days. No doubt Mils D.
will exhibit her usual fearlessness and truth
telling—two qualities which make her a very
powerful antagonist.
LYONS CONSULATE.—We learn that our fel
low-townsman, &ones Lesley, Esq., has re
signed his post as consul at Lyons, having
previously returned home, on leave of ab
sence, in consequence of the death of his son,
which melancholy event we lately took occa.
sion to notice.
The thoroughly efficient and patriotic man
ner in which he has discharged the duties of
his office,
has won for him a high standing
with the Department at Washington, and en
titles him to our thanks and best wishes for
his future happiness.
Mr. Louis W. Viollier, late consular clerk,
has been appointed his successor.
THE NASHVILLE DisrArcH.—The Dispatch of
Nashville appeared, Wednesday morning, on
an enlarged sheet and in quarto form, after
the fashion of the leading Journals of New
York. We are glad to see this evidence of
prosperity in our cotemporary, which, by-the..
by, is one of the best papers published in
the West. At least two journals in Nashville
are flourishing, as is shown by their recent en
largement—the Union and Dispatch.
WE unclerstandthat on Saturday two weekly
papers were started in this city, named re
spectively the Weekly Programme and the New
Era. But as we have not seen either of these
journals,
we can, of course, know nothing
about them. If they are desired, we wish them
all success; If unworthy, that early " death"
may be their fate,
Wy.have received the first number of a new
weekly journal which made its appearanoe
in Richmond, % a few days since. The
paper is called the IVew ;Raton. ft is a
thoroughly' loyal sheet, and one which: de
serves, and doubtless will receive, a good sup
port. The New Nation will advocate the cause
of the f r eedinen, and do an in its power
to eradicate every feeling of hostility between
the North and South. James W. Hunnicutt is
the editor.
ROMANTIC STORY ABOUT EDWIN BOOTH.—The
New York correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazelle , alluding to Edwin Booth, says .
" Ile has an engagement next winter of a
matrimonial character which, no doubt he
will fulfil pleasantly, if not proiltahly,•having
very recently become the fiance of all interes

[Special Correpondence of The Press. 3
PITTSBURG; Sept. 21, 1565.
Leaving Philaddiphia in the 11.10 P. Id. ex
press train of the great Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, on a trip to the far West, where the
genius, enterprise, and courage of the Ameri
can people are now constructing the founda
tions of new States, that from present indica—
tions will soon be worthy compeers in wealth
and population of the great Atlantic Common
wealths, my mind naturally reverted to the
struggles of our own early colonists, and
the marvelloifs rapidity of our progress
after our ancestors destroyed the bonds of
colonial vassalage. It required a long series
of resolute efforts, extending through more
than a century, to establish three millions of
civilized beings on our shores ; but in the past
fourscore years that 3,000,000 has been swelled
to upwards of 30,000,000; and now, starting
upon the new era of expansion, which natu
rally proceeds from the SuCeoBBfUl termi
nation of a contest that has at once destroyed
the only serious obstacle to the perpetuation
of our national Government, and the complete
development of the varied resources of all
parts of our glorious Union, a future looms up
infinitely more magnificent than any other
nation can reasonably anticipate. Our thirty
millions, in less than a century hence, may be
swelled to three hundred millions, and the
boundless fertility of our wide domain and
inexhaustible store of our mineral treasures
still provide as bountifully for the necessities
and wants of future generations as it does for
the present. For a long time to come our
population will manifestly increase with won
derfully rapidity, alike on account of the pros
perity and number of our citizens and the
steady emigration to our shores.
Passing rapidly during the night through the
fertile counties of Cheater, Lancaster and Dau
phin, the time was consumed in assiduous and
partially successful efforts to woo the god of
sleep, who finds in the travellers of our night
trains his most Ardent and faithful worship
pers,
LEUZE!
By nine o'clock this morning we reached Al
toona, with appetites well 4iharpened for the
Substantial breakfast which there awaited us.
The ascent of the Alleghenies, that greatest of
the modern triumphs of engineering, was then
commenced. Witnessing the sharp curves by
which the heights of the mountain were scaled
and subsequently passing through the tunnel,
reported to be seven-eighths of a mile in
length, we began to question whether a spot
on earth could be found over which a railway
might not be constructed after the success of
this daring experiment. Since our locomo
tives literally climb up the steepest heights,
and then, as if merely, to show the varied
powers of modern genius are furnished
a secure highway through the very bowels
of the land, we scarcely know what
railway problem can be pronounced impossi
ble. In this magnificent region one scarcely
knows whether to admire most the grandeur
of the natural scenery or the skill displayed
by man in conquering the obstacles its rugged
surface presented to his gigantic projects.
Scenes worthy of the pencil of ourfinest land
scape painters were presented on every hand.
To the left, across a series of cloud-capped ele
vations, " half concealed, half disclosed" by
the hazy ..drapery that forms one ot the
greatest charms of many of our best pictures,
and that equals in effect the grand scenery of
the White Mountains. It was cheering to
observe, too, occasional " clearings," where
fertile fields of waving corn had been planted
on lofty peaks side by side with the trees of
the native forests. Passing on by the marvel
lously beautiful summer resort at Cresson,
and near a spot further west where we were
told a white sulphur spring had been disco
vered that may become the site of a famous
watering-place in future. We approached
Johnstown, where the extensive operations
Of the Cambria iron works are conducted. We
were glad to learn that their extraordinary
facilities enabled them to continue business
on their usual extensive scale notwithstand
ing the derangement incidental to the close
of the war. A large new rolling mill is even
now being completed. They own many thou
sand of acres of land abounding in iron and
coal, and these valuable deposits are found
in alternate layers on a portion of their
soil. A perpendicular shaft would dis
close three veins of iron and foUr of
coal. To work these mines long lines
of subterranean railways have been con
structed, which gridiron the earth as effec
tually as the passenger-railway system of
Philadelphia. What is most remarkable is
that one of these railways is laid above the
other to accommodate the coal as well as the
iron miners. Last year these works paid in
ternal revenue taxes amounting to $175,000.
THE MOUNTAINS
The rugged mountain sides of this region
abound with the two great Pennsylvania sta
ples, which under the fostering care of a pro
tective policy will become the source 6f im
mense wealth, and, when we reflect how gene
rally mineral resources, and unusual natural
facilites for manufacturing purposes are distri
buted over our our whole country, what blind
folly does it seem for any portion of our
People to present in demanding that the
avocations of the American people, shall be
restricted mainly to agriculture and com
merce, particularly as those favorite interests
gain immense and indispensable support from
mining and manufactures. Even now the sur
face of these hills still furnishes a home for
deer, bears, and wild-cats, and a worthy
fanuer near by assured a friend that he had
bought his little homestead with the money
be had received as a bounty for wolf-scalps ;
and it might remain for centuries of more use
to wild animals than man, if a system of di
verSilled industry had not endowed it with
great immediate and prospective value,
I=!
After leaving Johnstown we see the beauti
ful little Conemaugh rolling beneath our feet
on the right, the railway obediently following
its course and gratefully accepting for its bed.
the pituresque gaps it has cut through the
towering mountains. The old canal and slack
water navigation line, which, under the old
Pennsylvania system of internal improve
ments, connected Johnstown and Blairsville,
has been abandoned, and already some of its
aqueducts are falling into decay, and present
to the eye of the traveller the aspect of pie
turegique ruins. As the railway furnishes an
infinitely superior substitute, this decay, like
nearly all other traces of apparent decline in
America, is fortunately the result of progress
and not of retrogression. At Blairsville we
passed the junction road which leads to In
diana. It already does a large business which
is rapidly increasing. Along train that had
just arrived contained a number of cars well
ailed with coal, and others laden with coal
oil. As we approached Wilkinsburg, we
noticed on the left the great stock sheds
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which cover
an imniense area, and admirably combine
facilities for drainage, ventilation, and for
feeding and transferring to their ears the
cattle, sheep, and swine of the West. We
arrived at Pittsburg at about 2 1 / P 111
2 P.
to-day. The current topics of interest here
are the reception given to the Committee
of the Councils of St. Louis, who are now
on a visit to the Eastern cities, the con
templated visit of a Committee of the Councils
of Chicago, and a project to consolidate the
different municipalities of which Pittsburg is
the centre. We are to leave at 3 P. hi., via
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad for Chi-
J. L. R.
sago.

a good audience was in attendance at the
Chestnut. The'" French Spy" and the Hun

the former play, in the second act, a ballet is
produced—at least, so we believe it was called
—but a collection of uglier women and worse
danseuses we have seldom seen. We know
that the ballet is an exceedingly dilliculede
partment to recruit,but if dancing is essential
to the story under representation, we should
have as fair faces and symmetrical forms as
possible, otherwise the terpsichorian inter

next Miss Western takes a benefit. Next
Saturday afternoon a grand Combination
matinee will be given at this theatre. A num

Among the names we notice those of Miss
Western, Edwin Adams, and Stuart Robson.
The play for the afternoon has MA as yet been
announced, but we are assured that all will

THE HIGH PRICE OF BOTTER.—Were a
stranger to be wafted over our city - in a bal
loon to descend, and not knowing anything of
our present condition, to visit the markets, he
might conclude, and not without reason, that
a Mighty army was besieging the City and
shutting us off from almost all means of com
munication with the surrounding country. In
ordinary times the laws of supply and demand
regulate prices. If the production of any ar
ticle of common use is rendered easier and
cheaper, prices ought to fall, the demand re
maining the same. But at present it would
seem that these natural laws are subverted, if
not entirely reversed. Take for instance, the
single article of butter. This commodity
seems to be Increasing in price notwithstand
ing the war has closed. During the rebellion
there was some reason for the increase of
Price, owing to the decreased pro*ction and
the increased consumption caused by the , de
mand from the army. The depreciation of
currency, too, helped to put tip the price. The
first and greatest of these causes is now over;
the rebellion is crushed, the soldiers have re
turned to their homes, and can now engagd
again in the work on their farms: The demand
for cattle has decreased and this, too, should
tend to lower the litiea. During the war many
cows were slaughtered for beef, which will
now be. prevented. But notwithstanding all
this, the price of butter is steadily in
creasing. A week ago it was eighty cents
per pound ; on Thursday it was quoted at one
dollar, and on Saturday one dollar and twenty
five cents was demanded. For these high
prices there is no real cause. It is entirely
artificial. The farmers,So long accustomed to
high prices, wish to command the. same now
for their products. In order to effect this, it
is their Custom, as WQ are credibly informed,
to hold meetings before they come to the city,
and fix the price at which butter shall be sold
on'that day. For this there is only one re
medy. Butter is a perishable article, and will
keep but a short time. Let our citizens re
solve that they will not use the article, and
the farmers and hucksters will find to their
cost that they have a large amount of un
salable spoiled stock on hand, good for little
else than wheel-grease. Such a course would
soon bring them to their senses, and they
would be willing to sell at a reasonable price.
Surely the people of Philadelphia will practice
a little self-denial that extortion may be
frowned down. •
BASE BALL AT CHESTNUT HILL.—A very
changeful and-exciting game was played be.
tween the Chestnut Bill and Germantown
Clubs, on the former's grounds, last Saturday.
The batting of both was very line, and would
have done credit to almost any of our first
class organizations ; that of the Germantown,
and particularly of Kephart, the well- 1010 w 11
cricketer, being unusually strong. The pitch
ing for both was very good,- Gaskit's for the
Chestnut Hill, being swift, full of twist, and
hard to hit. To his pitching and to their more
careful fielding the latter owe their victory.
Kephart and 11. Graver at first base, Stokes at
short stop, and amellenberger at right field,
played very well. The latter made two beau
tiful catches. The Chestnut Hills play a match
on their grounds on Saturdaynext, at 2 o'clock,
with the First National of Philadelphia.

Ott Friday night George Lee was arrested at Fif
teenth and Parrish streets, upon the charge of
being implicated in stealing some sheep. It is said
that the fanners near West Haverford have suf
fered severely lately, in consequence of some un
lunown parties, who not having the fear of the law
before their eyes, wOuld make a raid on the unof
fending sheep, carry them Off, kill and mell them.
Things continued thus far a time, and, as a natural
consequence, they began to tire of an amusement
where the fun was all on one side and the loss on
the other. They determined to detect the guilty
parties, and accordingly they set a watch. At a
late hour on Thursday evening two men drove up to
the place in a wagon, and commenced to take the
sheep from the fields. The watchers immediately
sprang from their concealment and seized one of
the men, but the other made his escape. The wagon
used by the men, it is charged, belonged to Lee,
and he was therefore arrested on the ground of
being implicated, He denies that he knew any
thing of their intention - of hiring the wagon.
further hearing of the case will be lead. •

MRS. GRUNDY SAYS, Show me a lady
with dishevelled Mar, and her children in the tante
condition, and she can show,,, a poor houscdteeper
and unworthy wife, but slidw her a lady with a
beautiful head of hair, always in place, and children
(with even poor and mean clothing) with their hair
tidy and neatly fixed, and she will show a good
bouseheeper and worthy wife. This we believe to
be true. It Is not dress that makes ladles or gentle
men attractive, it is nature's gifts properly cared
for. With the use of Retrouvey's Bandolenian, and
a brush and comb, any lady can place her hair, and
that or lwr ellibiren, in such an attractive style as to
make her and them admirable and worthy of affec
tion. With Its use you have no dandrulf, scurf, no
bare places, no falling out 'of the hair, no toss of
color, but a luxuriant growth of flowing curls, at•
tractive to all. The London Times, in describing
one of Her Maiehty‘r, Court receptions, says tha
" they always thought English ladies beautiful, but
with the new style of dressing the hair with French
Puffs, English Waterfalls, and. Turkish Itandole-
Dian, they have become Irresistible. , Ladles, try

It. The Bandolculan contains no Sulphur, Lead or
other metallic preparation to injure the health; it is
portly vegetade; the extract of many flowers and
herbs. Nearly all the hair colors in the market
contain injurious preparatiOne, and are liable to
bring on diseases similar to the painter's cholla,
which is fatal in its effects.

keen: he could do no man wrong intentionally; hi
all Its actions, cm to tite moat ttivfilit the energy
of his character, and the kindness of his heart were
equally discernible. Ills last illness, though some

and foes belieeed to be kind, benevolent, =OW.
