White has withdrawn from this paper, and that it will hereafter be under the control of the undersigned Having been connected with the paper for several years as one of the Ed itors, we presume our readers will not expect us to go into a statement of the principles we intend advocating through its columns. The " Democrat and Sentinel," from the period of its establishment up to tho present time, has always been a faithful, fearless, and we trust, efficient defender of the men and measures of the Democratic party, and it will bo our con stant endeavor to conduct it in such a manner as to merit the continued confidence of tho mountain Democracy. We will always ex tend a prompt and cheerful support to the legular nominees of the party for all offices in the gift of the people, from President to coun ty Auditor, and will ever stand prepared to denounce brawling demagogues whenever they attempt to disturb the harmony of the party. We will endeavor to render our paper in teresting to all our readers, by publishing the important news of the week, domestic and foreign, and we will also, carefully collect and publish all local news worthy of notice. In short, we will labor with" all the zeal and abil ity we can command to render the " Demo crat & Sentinel" an interesting and welcome visitor to all who may doem it worthy of their patronage. It is with sincere regret that we part with ourlato partner, Gen. White. We are con scious that we will miss not a little his coun sel and assistance in the discharge cf our ed itorial duties. However, as there is but little of pleasure or money strewed along th.e edi torial pathway, there is consolation in the re flection that V our loss is his gain," as they say in orbitaary notices.

O ! give me, fair Emma, alock of your hair," A bashful youug lover took courage and sighed : 'Twss a sin to refuse such a modest request So take the whole wig' the dear creature replied Now, to prevent such a catastrophe, is within the power of every lady and gentleman ; j for, by using Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative, j hair is not only prevented from falling off or turning grey, but the article will restore hair 'o bald places; and even if it has changed color and become grey it w ill bring it back to its pristine beauty and luxuriance. Those who are acquainted with the anatomy', physiology' and patholgy of the hair, must Ee well aware that certain substances have a rpecific actinn upon it ; and it is by a judicious combination of these that Prof, Wood Las succeeded in i compounding a mixture possessed of remark able virtues.

White Teeth, Perfumed Breath and Beau tiful Complexion can be acquired by using the " Bahn of a Thousand Flotcers." What lady or gentleman would remain under the curso of a disagreeable breath, when by using the ' Balm of a TnocsANnFLOWEP.s" as a dentifrice, would not only render it sweet, but leave tho teeth white as alabaster ? Many persons do not know their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate their friends will never mention it. Beware of counter fcitdi lie sure each bottle ia signed FETR1DGE & Co. X. Y.
