to the can, which exploded like a pistol,

Hard Times in Iowa.
We are sorry to learn from the Towa
papers, tha there is much suffering in that
btatc from waut of food. Duriug the
early part of Spring, cattle died of ftarv-
ation by scores throughut the State, there
being no grain to feed with, aud that af
fairs are not a whit improved at this time
may be learned by the following picture
of distress, from the Eddyvillc Uoniincr
cial:
It is useless to deny or attempt to con
ceal the fact. This region of the country
is destitute of the necessaries of life.
The stock of food for man and beast is
about exhausted. There is, perhaps,
corn enough to feed those who are una
bio to buy flour; but they have not the
means to buy corn. ltjis in the hands of a
few persons, arid they will only sell for
cash at a dollar a bushel. Not onethird
of those who need to buy coru have the
dollar, or any ccans of gettiug it; tor the
money, like the corn, is out of the reach
of the destitute. We are no panic maker,
but of this wo feel certain, and we speak
advisedly, that iu thirty days from this
time, unless those who have a surplus a
gree to part with it, on time, at a fair
price, it will be distributed and carried
away by bands of desperate men, to feed
their starving families. This sounds
terribly, but it h too near the truth, and
men will not suffer their families to starve
when food can be produced by going and
taking it.

MORE TO BE ADMIRED THAN THE
RICHEST DIADEM
EVER
Worn by Kings or Emperors.
What? Why a beautiful Head of Hair.
Because it is the ornament God Himself
provided for all our race. Reader, although
the rose may bloom ever so brightly in the
glowing cheek, the eye be ever so sparkling,
the teeth be those of pearls, if the head is be
reft of its covering, or the hair be snarled and
shriveled, 'harsh and dry, or worse still, il
sprinkled with gray, nature will loose more
than halt her charms. Prof. Wood s Hair
Restorative, if used two or three times a
week, will restore and permanently secure to
all such an ornament. Read the following
and judge. The wriler of the first is the cel
ebrated Pianist, Thalberg :
Dr. Wood New York, April 19, 1858.
Dear Sir Permit me to express to you
the obligations I am under for the entire res
toration of my hair to its original color; a-
bout the time of my arrival in the United
States it was rapidly becoming gray, but
upon the application of your "Hair Restora
tive" it soon recovered its original hue. I
consider your Restorative as a very wonder
ful invention, quite efiicatious as well as a
greeable. I am, dear sir, yours truly,
S. THALBERG.
" Drych a'r Gwyliedydct."
Welsh Newspaper office, 13 Nassau st. April 12, 1S5S.
Prof. O. J. Wood: Dear Sir, Some
month or six weeks ago I received a bottle
of your Hair Restorative and gave it my
wife, who concluded to try it on her hair, lit
tle thinking at the time that it would restore
the gray hair to its original color, but to her
as well as my surprise, after a few weeks'
trial it has performed that wonderful effect
by turning all the gray hairs to a dark brown,
at the same time beautifying and thickening
the hair. I strongly reccommend the above
Restorative to all persons in want of such a
change of their hair.
CHARLES CARDEW,
- New York, July 25, 1857.
Prof. O. J. Wood : With confidence do I
reccommend your Hair Restorative, as being
the most efficacious article I ever saw. Since
using your Hair Restorative my hair and
whiskers which were almost while have
gradually grown dark; and I now feel confi
dent that a"" few more applications will restore
them to their natural color. It also has re
lieved meof all dandruff and unpleasant itch
ing, so common among persons who perspire
freelv. J. G. KILBY.
Prof. Wood About two years ago my hair
commenced falling off and turning gray; I
was fast becoming bald, and had tried many
Remedies to no effect. I commenced using
your Restorative in January last. A few
applications fastened my hair firmly. It be
gan to fill up, grow out, and turned back to
its former color, (black.) At this time it is
fully restored to its original color, health, and
appearance, and I cheerfully reccommend its
use to all. J. U. 1-1UJSS.

The Restorative is put up in bottles of three
sizes, viz : large, medium, and small ; the
small holds a pint, and retails for one dol

A TALE OF THE
TIMES AND FEATS OF 3&ARI0U",
BY GEORGE ALBANY, ESQ.
Author of the "The Orange-Girl, of Voinre.' "The
Swamp Steed," ''Rube the Hanger." etc. etc.
will be commenced in
THE NEW YORK MERCURY
Of Snlmdny, April 30, 1859,
Now ready at all News Depots & Bookstores.
No character in history offers a better sub
ject for the romancer, than llial of Marion,
or, as he was familiarly cal'ed,
"THE SWAM? FOX,"
from the immense' ingenuity of his stratagems
and devices for misleading and deciving the
enemy, his thorough knowledge of the wood?,
forests, fields, and swamps of his native re
gion, where he and his gallant band were
perfectly at home, while their enemies be
came lost and bewildered in the labyrinthine
mazes of undergrowth and morass.
The 6lory above announced is a true reflex
of those scenes and limes, and its talrnted'
author has most vividly portrayed, therein,
the many exciting incidents and accidents ol
a tenacious and indefatigable struggle for
Liberty, pursued under the most adverse cir
cumstances. Every chapter is replete with
exciting and romantic interest, historically
accurate, but with a sparkling web of poetry
woven through it, which makes it at once a
brilliant story and a veracious record. The
strongly-written descriptions of events the
ambuscade the sudden sortie 'the night at
tack the wild charge and repulse are all
wonderful as examples of word-painting, and
equally true to the actual facts.
In addition to thee scenes of heroism and
lofty daring, the Swamp Fox is not wilhout
the gentle charm of a love-story, for the work
ing and effects of the tender passion are de
picted in its pages, as trucly and artistically
as the sterner emotions, rendering the tale
a perfect picture of life and character in the
Days of the Revolution, which cannot fail
to appeal to the admiration, and gratify the
taste of every reader who has a spark of true
patriotism iu his soul.
The peculiar power and interest with which
the gifted author, Geo. Albany, Esq., de
scribes the thrilling period, is a guarantee of
the excellence of this truely magnificent
Historical Romance.- The vivid delineation
of character, the depth of thought, the fas
cination of style, the picturesque beauty of
description, and, in a word, the power of lan
guage he commands, all combine to render
him one one of the most brilliant writers of
the age. while his great appreciation of and
sympathy with the pioneers in the cause of
universal liberty give him a grasp of Revo
lutionary subjects possessed by very few oth
ers. Ibis n.is enabled him, in the oicamv
Fox, to exhibit the life and adventures of
MARION AND HIS MEN
as they really were, and to do fit homage to
that deliberate valor, that unyielding patriot
ism, which, in a few noble spirits, defying
danger, and above the scenes of privation,
could keep alive the sacred fires of liberty in
the thick swamps and dense and gloomy for
ests asking nothing, yielding nothing, and
only leaving the field the belter to re-enter
it for the combat)
We take to ourselves some credit, for hav
ing secured for our columns the chefs d'amv-
res of this master's pen, but we inteded to
give the
wew xork iraercurv
a still higher prestige than ever. We be

lar sketches will be found.
As no other American has ever traveled
so extensively as Bayard Taylor, and no
other traveler can see things with the eyes
of America, we need not further eulogize the
value of these emanations of his mind and
observation, to the reading public. It is suf
ficient to say that they will greatly enhance
the high character that the Mercury has ev
er maintained, and that has heretofore rost
ed unon many causes some of the most im
portant of which may besumme'd upas follows;
The Mercury employs more merary uuuui
than anv other paper.
The Mercury pays more, and higher pri
ces for that talent, than any. other px per..
The Mercury is constantly announcing
new, startling and;brilHatH ndditiijrmi to it;
already unrivaled fund of attract ion?.
ThcMefcuTy is illustrated by F. O. C.Dr
ley, Esq. the greatest artist of this century,
and his beautiful pictures are thus brougtit
within the reach ofthe fentire public.'
The Mercury & the olJent ami most firmly
established literary journal in America.
Tho Mercury, during the twenty-one year
of its profcppro'H existence, has jiublished a
larger number tif' popiifaf original tales, ro
mance?, aim sketches, than alt its imitators
combined.
The Mercury must be" seen, to be apprecia
ted, and we are fully determined to make its
nau.c 'f'.irniliar as a household word," with'
every fjimily in the hi ml. .
. The Mercury is for sale by all news-dealers
and booksellers in cverv part of the coun- 5
