The New Volume of the Magazine com
mences under the best possible auspices.—
Its position is now assured. Two years have
demonstrated the extent o( its circle of
friends, and that circle is constantly widen
ing. The Magazine has not only the sym
pathy, but the actual literary support of the
most eminent authors in the country.
While care is taken that nothing in the
remotest degree offensive to propriety or
good taste defaces these pages, and the
ablest talent is secured to make a Magazine,
which, for variety ol interest, and excellence
of tone, shall be surpassed by no similar
publication in the world, the Publishers as
sure the Public that their motto is still on
ward, and that every year's experience will
enable them more fully to deserve tbe favor
which they so gratefully acknowledge.

Hair Tonic, prepared from South American

ever produced lot preserving thu hair from
lalling out or changing color, restoring and
pres.-rving it in a healthy and "luxuriant
state. Among other reasons why Dollard's
Hair Cutting Saloon maintains its immense
popularity, is the fact that his tonic is ap
plied to every head of hair cut at his estab
lishment, consequently, it is kept in bettet
preservation than under any other known ap
plication. It being thus ptac'ically tested by
thousands, offers the greatest guaranty of its
efficacy.

jury lo the hair or skin, either by stain or
otherwise, can be washed off ten minutes

its efficacy. Persons v-siting the city are in

£ CTgm
THE undersigned, having just received the
-*■ latest Paris and New York Fashions, I
would again beg leave to inform his numer
ous friends and all the world about Blooms
burg, that he is now belter prepared than ev
er lo accommodate any one with (he neatest,
easiest and best fitting suits of Clothes that
have boen turned out lately; and not only
that, but he will also do Ihem up in the best
order, upon the lowest terms.
His shop is at the old stand, (too well
known to need further notice) where he may
at all times be found, seated upon the bench
of repentance, steadily drawing out the thread
of affliction, hopeing it may in the end prove
advantageous to him and his customers. He
would also advise his friends to bear in mind
that poor, afflicted tailors must live, or they 1
can't be expected to work. Therefore, Wheal,
Rye, Corn, Oats, Potatoes, and with all now
and then a little CAt>H will come mighty
handy from those who are back-standing on
bte book.
Remember, gentlemen, that in al! cases
" the laborer is worthy of his hire."
