about 12 miles from Balton, via the East

The arrangements were conducted in so
quiet astyle that before'eitner the pnlico

near the- battle ground, were aware, the
battle bad terminated, and the
„spectators
returned home unmolested.
The contest for superiority is described
as having been very protracted and anima,

and it was Lot until fifty lengthy round,
had been fought, occupying two hours and
twenty-nine minutes, that the friends of
one of the parties engaged were obliged to
withdraw him from the ring that his life
might not be willed and his murder be
upon their hands.
It is said he was terribly "punished,"
his facial lineaments being scarcely disclov•

the "sponge," The winner did not fare
much better, his jaw being broken and his
vision obliterated. And so ended the la

TO THE MILLION.—Frof, Wood, of St.
Louis, has, after years of deep study and an.
tiring research, succeeded in presenting to the
public an article superior to any now in use,
and indeed it is truly a wonderful discovery—
we advert to his hair Restorative; the only
chicle that has been completely successful in
cheating age of his gray locks, removing dan
druff, itching, scrofula, ft.c. It restores tho
grey-headed to more than the original beauty;
adds new lustre to locks already luxuriant ;
having the effect on coarse, harsh hair to ren
der it glossy and watery ; fastens permanent
ly hair that is loose or tailing, and many other
finalities which will become known as soon as
surd.
The pride of mankind is singularly develop
ed in the keeping and arrangements of the
hair; perhaps from the Act that it is the only
portion of the human hotly that we can train
any way we choose ; how important then,
having this portion left to our care, that we
should use all tho-means science has placed in
our hands to ender it beautiful and perma
nent. If you would have beautiful hair, glossy
hair, permar.ent hair, with its natural col
or elegantly preserved to extreme old age,

up for consideration, a motion, was made by
Mr. Darlington to add ;91,151 to the valua

valuation alai,. Mit. Rejig' opposed the
motion on the ground that although the valu
ation on real estate was returned below the
valuation ofil 854, to the atnount above stated,
in the aggregate it.. bad been increased. He
thought it probable there Waif Some mistake
about the return. , The increase was applied
to personal property. He thought it was very
likely : applicable to the real estate. The in
crease of the valuation of personal estate, lie
stated was $236,000. A suggestion was made
that Mr. Kelley should coriect`the return, if
ho thought thole was a mistake. This he de-.
dined to do, as he had no certain' knowledge
of the fact. A long debate ensued; after which
;the motion of Mr. Darlington was disagreed
