Jan. 25, ISG3._
Tim libel suit in which we. were defendant
was amicably settled to the satisfaction of the Re
publicans and our friends of the Democracy. A
great many rumors were afloat concerning Mr.
Stautfer's transactions. One gentleman, especi
ally, appeared to know a great deal that was bail.
but when we told him we would like to have the
pleasure of hearing his evidence before the Court
he confessed he linew nothing. We supposed,
then, that his confession of ignorance was made
to rid himself of the disagreeable necessity of
pearling on the witness stand, and In one ease es-
Pechilly we determined to Investigate the truth of
the statomants he had made. After driving over
rough roads, one evening, wo arrived after dark
at the residence of the person we were seeking and
obtained an interview. NVe saw Ills receipt for
taxes and after calculating the mileage, cost of
warrant, etc., he had a right to charge, our fig
ures agreed with those of Mr. Stauffer, exactly.
This was rent one of the erases upon which our ar
tiele reran based, however, but we give It to show
• how little truth can be sifted from some of the ru
mors which are too often admit upon such OCCa•
shills. The collector is allowed to charge live per
cent. penalty, one per cent. a mouth ou over
due taxes, and in addition he can charge for war
rant, mileage, etc., the latter of which amount to
as much for collecting ha small amount as u large
one. It will theiefore be seen that for tax on
watch the penalty would seem very unreasonable,
while for an amount of say 'oventy-five dollars it
would not be considered a cause for complulut,
though there would hens many miles traveled and
as much time consumed In collecting the one ns
the other. But it must not appear that we made
our statement without haying first gained such in
formation err it would be rt nuked of any careful
Journalist: to obtain. We had the pledge of the
sworn statement of our Informant, and as this Is
very uuw-ual from parties wishing to make com
plaint through newspapers, we considered we had
sufficient foundation for our statement. Mr.
Stauffer explains it in this'way. He told our In
formant that ho would charge him about four
dollars (we forget the exact amount), but that If
he resisted payment and compelled Mr. Stauffer
'to mahe execution It would cost him seven dollars
and e)ghty-three cents. Thus, it appears, there
has been a misunderstanding which Inas resulted
In considerable annoyance to all parties concern
ed. As we had 110 malice towards Sir. Starlit:l . ,
no Injury to resent, but merely a desire to do our
duty to tire public, It glycol's pleasure rather than
mortification to set him right before our renders,

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On last Wednesday
morning, Mr. Reuben Dinucy, a prominent citizen
of the lower part of the county, was 'truck by an
engine on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, at Perry
ville, and instantly killed. He was walking up.
the track, and, stepping out of the way for a coal
train, he did not notice the passenger train from
the other direction. His body was thrown upon
the platform of the cow catcher. Mr. Dickey was
well known and much respected throughout the
county. He was a prominent candidate for Conn
iy Treasurer in the Democratic Convention of last
week.-11aurh Chunk Gazette.
Tug EDIIOII.-If he omits anything, he is
lazy. If he speaks of things ns they are, people
are read. If lie glosses over—smooths down the
rough point—be is bribed. If be calls things by
their proper names, he is unlit for the' position of
an editor. If be does not furnish his readers with
Jokes, he is a mullet. If he does, he is a rattle
head—lacking stability. If he condemns the
wrong, he is a good fellow ; but leeks discretion.
If be lets wrongs and injuries go unmentioned, he
is a coward. If he falls to uphold a man, he does
It to gratify spite. If he indulges in personalities,
he Is a blackguard ; if he does not, his colonies
are dull and Insipid.
lionnEnr.—Robt. Ddylin was walking out
the Tenth street road Thursday evening on his
way to Guthsville. lie says a couple of hucksters
overtook him nod gave him the privilege of rid

hucksters put his hand in Devlin's pocket which
act was resented. The driver then turned his
horse quickly round and drove back to the hotel
and (uttered drinks, telling Devlin to paYfor them.
This Devlin objected to, when a tight ensued dur
ing which he was struck. One of the hucksters
then grabbed a new hat which Devlin hail on and
the pair drove oft We hope the guilty parties
will be brought to justice.
WEAVER WANTED.—/R the Philadelphia
Ledger we find an advertisement: " Wanted—A
Weaver with two or three small hands, for card
room, for country." If theadvertieer succeeds In
getting a weaver with three.small hands, or large
hands, we would like to see hlm. And then the
Idea of pulling such a natural curiosity into a
card room ! It's preposterous I A man with that
number of hands would never consent to leave the
gambling dens of Philadelphia, where be could
draw full hands from.. the middle of the deck, or
turn Jacks from the bottom, to some purpose with
Iris extra hand; and the man who advertises for
"such a man to go to the country must be a flrst
class candidate for the insane arylum• The Led
ger is a funny paper.
THE SCIIOOI, LAW.—The bill, '•to prevent
frequent changes in school books," passed both
branches of the Legislature and is now a law. It
provides follows:
SECTION 1. That hereafter the board of direc
tors of au district, the controllers in cities and
boroughs or any school Superintendent, shall not
order or direct or make any change In the school
books or any series of text books In any school
under his or their superintendence, direction or
control more than once In every period of three
years, and any laws or parts of laws inconsistent
herewith be and the same are hereby repealed.
SECTION 3. Any school director, controller, or
superintendent who shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof be sen
tenced to pay a line not exceeding two hundred
hundred dollars and be deprived of his office.
Ptc-nc.—TheSlatington News, of the 13th,
says: The Presbyterian Sabbath School of this
place held their annual pie-sic on Saturday last,
In woods near Laury's station, on the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad. The school left in a special car se
cured by the Superintendent, Robert McDowell,
Esq., for the occasion, and attached to the 9 a. in.
down freight train. After dinner a number of the
party visited n slate quarry about a toile distant.
This qnarry was opened over forty years ago and
was the first ever opened in this section of the
country. It was opened by a man untried Scho
field, Ulla was afterward worked by James Mc-
Dowell, Gen. Leary- and Robert McDowell bIICCCS-
Elvely. On the way to the quarry the party halted
at an old school building now dilapidated, where
Mr. McDowelLand General Laury stated they had
opened the first sabbath school in Lehigh county
outside of Allentown, almost thirty years ago.
DASOMMUS $2O COUNTERFEIT.—Within a
week past a number of exceedingly dangerous
counterfeits have made their appearance. llow
large the number may be cannot be known, for
the counterfeit Is so nearly faultless that it is only
with the utmost difficulty that it can ba distin
guished from the genuine. The spurious bill Is a
twenty dollar greenback. The only weak point in
the execution seems to be the central figure, which
is a little too coarsely done. When presented in a
Package, however, this figure is not seen In the
rapid counting, it being hid by the hand or the
overlying bills. The other points of the bill being
excellent as to stand the test of the strongest light.
We are told that two or three banks have been de
ceived by the bills. There .has not been a more
dangeroug counterfeit afloat. Business men, Batik
tellers, Railroad Ticket Agents, and others, would
do well to keep a sharp lookout for these bills.
DECLINE OP THE APPLE IN PENISEYLVAICIA.
—The fall fruit tree planting season ie approach
ing and we are glad to learn that nurserymen gen
erally are receiving large orders for fruit trees of
all kinds. This indicates Increased interest In fruit
growing in our own and adjoining States, the great
benefit of which we arc every day called upon to
acknowledge. If our horticulturists could but ex
plain the reason why a good apple crop in
Eastern Pennsylvania is no longer a possibility, or
if they will point out the reason whereby our apple
trees can be brought to bearing, the community
would be largely Indebted to them.

Tin: PROTESTANT PARADE.—it the grand
parade of the American Protestant Association,
recently held at Catasauqua, sonic twelve or fifteen
hundred men turned out In line style. After pa
rading through the streets they retired to the woods,
where they found very littloto eat but something
good to listen to. The speakers of the day were
the Revs. Messrs. Ilawoll and Fulton. Mr. Fulton
quoted some of the old Latin laws for the exterm
ination of Protestants, and shelved, conclusively,
that Instead of being repealed these laws were now
made Divine by the late dogma of Papal Infalli
bility. He said that all Catholic countries la the
world were on the decline. He referred to the
Present daring efforts of Reim:inlets lu this country
to gain ascendancy by the perverted use of the
ballot-box and political Intrigue ; and said that
the time was at hand when every Protestant would
be constrained to vote the Republican ticket. Ro
man Catholics should have their rights, but net
the power to destroy the rights of ethers.
Mr. Howell sold the Pope was the only petty
sovereign that recognized the Southern Confeder
acy. Ile referred to the efforts of Rome to put the
Bible out of our public schools, and said that this
was what neither the l'opo or Ills ROMISh follow
ers could ever accomplish. Both speakers were
frequently applauded.
A CONFIDENCE GAME—A STRANGER SWIN•
PLED OUT Or S4S:IN THE CAPITOL. PARE.—TlGas
dtty,evening, about 7 o'clock, a man named John
Gillighaut,of Carbondale, who arrived during the
day and stopped at one of the Harrisburg hotels
near the depot, stepped into the capitol park for
the purpose of viewing the attractions of our city.
While standing in front of the Mexican monument
observing its many beauties, he was accosted by a
tall, slim, elderly looking person, lathe following
manner: " What monument hinds 7" Gillighatu
replied that he did not know, that he was himself
a stranger In the city. The pair,after some further
conversation strolled through the capitol yard,
until they were met by a third party, who asked
Gilligham's companion very abruptly to pay him
a bill. Stranger No. 2 said he had sent Stranger
No. l's trunk to the depot, nod ho insisted union
having the bill squared at once. Stranger No. 1
said he had no ready change, but proffered two
120 gold pieces tin payment of the claim. The
other man refused to take the gold, when Stranger
No. 1 asked Gilligham to take the money and give
him paper In exchange. Oilligham at first refused,
but finally consented 1 . 0 let his newly4nade friend
have t 45 in change for gold.. The parties then
told (1111Igham to wait till they got the right
change, went, off, and Called to return. Mr. GS
. ilgham, upon exhibiting his supposed two no gold
pkces, was dumb-formded upon learning that they
were bogns. It Is his first trip to Harrisburg; and
he came here to vlsit his wife In the Insane asylum.

We would like to place somo.of the Major's re

speaker that it is Impossible for the generality of
stenographers to follow him. The meeting was

SUICIDE.—Edwin b. Mull, of Heading, com

the United States lintel, on Court street, between
Fourth and Fifth, Sunday morning. Between 10
and 11 o'clock, a little son of Mr. Rags, the pro

body of the deceased suspended by the neck to a
rafter in the straw mow, lie gave the :dorm, and
a crowd soon assembled upon the spot, the a ffair

An Inquest was held, and a verdict of suicide rend

E. S. Miller, undertaker, for burial.
It Is stated that he had recently bees laboring

AN AMUSING incident occurred hist week in
the lower part of the city. A liberal gentleman of
the old school met a close-fisted agricultursit who
never lets anything slip through his fingers with
out receiving what he considers a just cotnpensa
tion therefor. The old school gentleman; who
was on horseback, dismounted and commenced
examining the agriculturist's chickens, with a
view to buying. The man asked fifteen cents a
pound for them, providing his customer would
take two pairs. Ills customer wanted only one
pair, and the matter was finally compromised by
throwing in a handful of pear's. The customer
eyed the seller weighing out the chickens, and
both were unmindful of what was going on behind
them until the chickens were delivered, when the
farmer discovered that the mare had also been
busily dealing in his produce and bud consumed
about a basketful of pears as innoreutlyas though
pears were cheap. You can imagine the dismay
that overspread the farmer's countenance and the
exclamation with which be told his customer that
he did not Intend to 'throw In a whole basket of

UNION REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL CONK
MITTEE OF PENNSYLVANIA.
LA PIERRE HOUSE,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 11 , 1871.
To the Republicans qf Tcnneytvania :
We tender you our hearty congratulations over
the glorious victories recently won by the Repub
licans of California and Maine. In the former a
State has been won, after four years of Democrat
ic misrule, by an overwhelming majority, and In
the latter the firm hold of the Republican party
ban been maintained with a tenacity that cannot
be shaken.
The victory in California has been gained after
an arduous and exciting struggle. It is the result
of systematic work, and it demonstrates the value
of organization and well directed political labor.
The victory In Maine has been won by keeping up
the admirable organizations perfected in past
years, under the operation of which the Republi
can vote has been thorOughly brought out.
Both these victories show to us the value and
the necessity of thorough organization. They
ought to inspirit us with the most ardent zeal and
with a determination to imitate the example so
worthily set us. We appeal to you, therefore,
while rejoicing over the victories of your brethren
elsewhere, to do as they have done, and secure by
your systematic labors a victory as complete as
their'.
•
The steady stream of Republican successes,which,
setting in with Connecticut, has since flowed on
without interruption, must not be checked in its
onward flow by a Republican defeat in Pennsylva-
Ma. We owe it to our friends In the states which
have so gallantly upheld our banner to stand by
them, and keep Pc nusylva nla in the phalanx of
Republican States.
We can do this only by cultivating a spirit of
union and harmony, keeping up our local organi
zations actively, and working steadilY and with a
will to bring out every Republican vote. Every
thing depends upon organization and work.
Our intelligence from all parts of the State Is
cheering and encouraging. All that is wanted
now is a little close attention to the details of lo
cal orgaulzatiOn. No political victory was ever
won without attention to these details; and we
rely upon your spirit, energy, and zeal to carry
them out systematically and render them effective.
Let the Republicans of the State he true to them
selves and to their cause, stand firmly by their
State nominees and local tickets, and put their
ward and township committees Into vigilant ac
tivity, and we shall be able to send back to Maine
and California, and their sister Republican States
a response as cheerful and
,gladdening as their
messages of triumph have been to us.

01mo/inv.—The announ'cement of the death
of Col. Henry C. Longnecker on Saturday morn
iug will be startling Intelligence to the communi
ty.. But the day before he appeared among us, In
active life, little dreaming that his work in this
world was so nearly finished.
Mr. Longueeker was born to Cumberland coun
ty, Pe., on the 17th of April, 1821. Ile was placed
at schools at Wilbraham Academy,Maseachusetts,
from whence he entered the Norwich Military
University of Vermont, and subsequently was
graduated at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa. After
he graduated he chose the law as his profession,
and entered upon Its study in the office of Hon.
James M. Porter. Ile was called to the bar Jan
uary 20th, 1843. After the appointment of Mr.
Porter as Secretary of War In the Cabinet of Pres
ident Tyler, Mr. Longnecker took charge of the
law business of his preceptor and conducted the
same with entire satisfaction until the return of
Mr. Porter frosts Washington, after which Mr.
Longuccker concluded to make his residence In
Lehigh county, and accordingly was admitted to
the Bar here on the 30th of January',
1344, and coot entered upon a successful practice.
Upon the breaking out of the war with Mexico,
Mr. Longnecker volunteered,serving as lieutenant
and afterward as adjutant of Ills regiment. .1-k.
participated hi all the principal engagements under
General Scott, which ended in the triumphal entry
of the United States army Into the city of Mexico.
Upon Ills return from Mexico he was elected as
District Attorney of Lehigh county by a very flat
tering vote, and in.the capacity of prosecuting at
torney he acquitted himself with satisfaction. In
1851 and 1854 Col. Longneeker was n delegate to
the State Democratic Conventions of those years.
In 1850 the troubles in Kansas assumed a grave as
pect,roal Mr.LotigneCker,among the many carne:t
and cencleutious Democrats of that day,opposed
the Principles by which his party were made the
means of extending the area of slavery, and bat

ureS of the Republican party. Iu 1858 Mr. Long 7
neeker was elected a representative from Penna.
In the thirty-sixth Congress from the Sixth district,
which was then decidedly Democratic, and served
as a member of the committee on military affairs.
In the war of the rebellion Col. Longnecker be
came Colonel of the Ninth Penna. Infantry, and
as such commanded. a brighe in Western Vir
ginia in 1861. Ile subsequently command a bri
gade at the battle of Antietam.
CoL.Longnecker was no ordinary man. • 'ln ad
dition to the liberal education which he received,
he was endowed with abound judgment upon pub
lic affairs, and his counsels were often invoked by
those In power during the dark days of the rebel
lion. A widow (the daughter of Mr. Samuel
Lewis) and two small children remain to bewail
the bereavement which fell en suddenly and so
unexpectedly to their lot. . •

It is a large carriage a fghan,attistically crocheted,

attached to the gas pipe on the Jordan bridge.
This ancient structure which has become an eye
sore will soon be lighted In order to show the pub

regarded as an index of the mental calibre of the

ter state of things, as well as their miserable Idea
of comfort, convenience and safety necessary to
guide the erring and slipping feet of pedestrians.

convinced that In so doing they have taken all
necessary preqiiiinarles to FUCCCSS. Various cir

01.78 A:siNIVERSAItY DAY.—St. John's Luth
eran Mission In the First Ward, whose history has
been nothing but a record of successive growth
and increasing membership, celebrated Its third
anniversary In St. Peter's Lutheran church Sun
day afternoon. The church was most artfully
decorated, showing that no labor or trouble bad
beenispared by the teachers in making, that plaCi ,
as pleasant and attractive as possible. Against
the wall, behind the pulpit, were placed the,
words, emblematic of the occasion : 1839: Onn
ANNIVERSARY Dan. 1871.
The front of the pulpit was decorated with a
beautiful cross, while a long winding garland
a lorned the front of the gallery. Upon the pulpit
were several most beautiful baguets. A remark
able contrast is presented between the condition
of the school of thc present time and what it was
several years ago. Three years ago, on the first
opening Sunday of the school, live scholars anti,
sin teachers were present; now it numbers about
IGO scholars and 20 teachers, and stands on firm
ground to remain an institution for the training
of youths and the salvation of souls ! The Bible
Class, we arc informed, numbers alone about IS
scholars and is taught by N. 11. La übensteln,
Esq., a Senior of Muhlenberg College, and a
gentleman well stilted for this post on account of
hie ability and persevering diligence lit the study of
Bible Illstory. The Infant Class under the care
of Mr. D. L. Coleman numbers about thirty.
This school Is in a flourishing condition ably
superintended by Mr. G. 11. Rhoads, and assisted
by a number of students and ladies from the pa.
rent school.
' The anniversary exercises were opened at three
o'clock, p. tn., with prayer by the Rev. S. K.
Brobst, which was followed with an address
by the Rev. _Faits, Pastor of St. John's. The
Rev. Bro!tit then delivered a German address
and R. K. Buehric, City Superintendent, an ad
dress Is 'English. dhe singing was most beauti
ful throuchout and almost everybody after the
exercises was heard to exclaim " Wasn't the
singing good I" The closing prayer was offered
by the Res. Fates. May the daughter of St. John
make Stendy progress in the work of the Lord and
when she has grown up to be a woman may site
be able to scatter her good seed and prove a bles

&c., may be prevented by the use of Sheridan's

with horses should take note of this.
Fogelsville Items
The festival of the St. John's Sunday School at
this place passed off very creditably. At half-past
12 o'clock p. m. the procession was formed at the
school house, the band leading the advance and
discoursing excellent music. When it had arrived
In the grove the school sanga hymn that was both
beautiful and afpropriate for the occasion. The
superintendent then dismissed the teachers and
scholars to participate In the various features of
the festival. Several sets at crcquet were then
focused and afforded a good chance to draw out the
skill of the participants. Others found pleasure
In a good swing. Quite a crowd of people shared
their presence with the school and participated In
its pleasures. Upon the whole this gathering af
forded real enjoSmtenti The band deserves the
thanks of all present for the tine Music that they
pealed forth. The morale of a gathering of such
n kind is often questioned. But we cannot see how
It can. The principle of enjoyment is Inborn, im
planted In our nature, and hence as such Is not to
be condemned, to call this In question' would be
In fact to call In question the good motive of our
Creator In placing such an element in our !ame.
That it was the design of God that man should
seek 'enjoyment, seems evident from the blissful
state that our first parents must have shared In
the garden °Mame. Their blisi consisting mainly
In this : that everything was• expressly adapted •
to be conducive to their entire enjoyment. God,
It appears, had expressly prepared the garden for
this one object: that they might find au abund
ance of enjoyment. Another fact. If this was'
not Ilse design of our Creator that our nature
should crave enjoyment, It would have been differ
ently adapted to thelhings about us. As It Is", we
can behold the beautiful In nature or nit, and not
only this, but also admire It. In a word, we eat:
enjoy a beautiful painting, a beautiful picture, a
beautiful scenery, or any other beautiful object.
If this were not meant to be so, our nature would
evidently have been created so that what we now
admire as lovely and beautiful, should seem to it
as ugly ; that the beautiful violet should be dis
gusting to us. That we are so constituted must be
attributed to the fact that our Creator desired that
we should hold such a relation to the material
world. Ilenec our nature craves enjoyment an'i
It ought to be sought.' If the home circle Is too
narrow, the outside world ought to be sought. All
need enjoyment occasionally. The Sabbath School !
needs It, so as to get a fresh Impetus to struggle
anew in the field that lies spread out before it.
There can nothing, then, he so absurd as the idea
that the Christian. Is out of his proper sphere If
found engaged In seeking enjoyment.• The falsity! )
of this idea is evident from the fact that our clear
Saviour often sought enjoyment when wearied by
toil In mitninistering relief to the poor. Here we
come, however, to another point as he what way
enjoyment should besought ; and since this desire
of our nature Is too often perverted, all ways - in
which it is sought arc equally condemned. In an
swer, then, to this point we would say that as long
as our first parents were obedient to their maker
eo long were they happy and their enjoyment coin

the tempter and disobeyed their linker, they lost
the liberty of enjoying the lovely garden la which

we can enjoy ourselves in but two ways, either in
God or out of Him. If we enjoy ourselves lee Him
we shall have true enjoyment, but If out of Him

" Hosanna to the Son of David." They rejoiced
because their Lord was In their midst. The Lord

those Who observed Ills triumphal entry into Jeru

presence we may mention the continuance of life,

enjoy ourselves ite the Lord If we weigh well these

..14•. Editor :—We advise our distlngni,hed editor
of the Allentown Democrat to keep himself within
the bounds of truth, and not for political purposes
attempt to blacken a man's reputation, malign his
eh:lnn:ter or Indulge, Wilfully, In such bare-faced
Insinuations and abominable Ilea. •We happen to
lin well acquainted with Mr. Snyder and know his
antecedents and his political status, and know that
during the late rebellion, when some Democrats
were opposing In word and deed, he stood up man
fully for the old ling,,and assisted lu bringing about
our ultimate success with all the strength of his
patriotism and with the means In his possession.
This Is his war record. Can you or your friend
Owen Faust show one like It 7 We advise you to
rake up your memory (that Is If you have tiny)
* considerably, and recollect what motives Induced
you to turn renegade. Mr. Snyder Is not and
never was a " Know-Nothing," rand you Cannot
disprove t h e assertion arid dare not attempt It.
You are entirely too dumb to distinguish between
truth and falsehood; and we declare that of all
the stupid blockheads and adlepated numbskulls
you are the most prominent In the community, as
some of your Intimate friends (if you have such)
Bove oftentimes asserted. Mr. Snyder would not
proscribe a foreigner or a Catholic. He would
only carry out, Implicitly, the spirit of our consti
tution and the tenor of Its laws ; and wherever the
saucily of either is vlolated,.he Is able, williugand
ready to refute when refutation Is necessary or to
assist when assistance Is required. You asked a
question, we answer In the Socratic style, cciuld
loyal German or a whole-sealed Irishman vote for
then who are exponents of rebellion, who rejoiced
In rebel successes and grieved over Union victories?
Could either of them support a man, such as he Is,
a disgrace and a pest to' his party? Could they
look on tamely and see their native country ma
ligned by such men who now solicit their votes?
No, they can not, they will not,and they dare not,
according to the principles of their Innate sense of
justice, support such men. These facts are true
and absolutely correct, and we ask our very gen
tlemanly (1) editor to refute them, If his brains
can be kept together long enough to attempt It.

Hair Vigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.
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 restore
the hair where the follicles are de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a now
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment,-it will keep it eleau'and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, 'and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents .the forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some, preparations dangerous and inju
rious 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 deSirable,
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
lung on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a : grateful perfume.
