Tkt Mcratie Cnian City ConvenUM. aaMwbar will be found the proceedings of the City CMTemtioo held bat evening, to nominate candidates for city officers to be supported at the election in May. The Convention preh . a . . a i il i ft most excellent ticket througnout ior me support of the ortizens of Indianapolis. They are all ht est, and well qualified for the positions to which they hare been named. This is praise In addition, they are conservative ctti- , and, if elected.will see that the lavs are faith. filly enforced and the irelfsue of the city ad v.ioced in all its Ttrioas interests. It is high time there should be reform in the administration of the city government. The tares for its support have become burdensome to all. Abuse have gradually crept in, whkh demand the pruning knife The ticket nominated is pledged to a retrenchment ol the expenditures, and it is composed of men who have the disposition and the energy to meet the public expectation in that rtmi-I Tt now i Mains for the tax navera of Indianapolis to determine whether they will longer submit to the abuse which have been incrsns ng from year to year. It will be noticed that the nominations were not mad to advance partisan interests. A por tion of the ticket is taken from the Working Men' Union Ticket, and is composed of those who hare not heretofore acted with the Demo cratic party. The object of the Convention was to direst the city government from the mere par tisanshin which has characterized it for a few w years past, and to insure a faithful and econom ical administration of our municipal affairs. We will truarantee that these objects will be ay jn accomplished if the people will place the gov eminent of the city in the hands of the Demo cratie-l'nion candidates. If this result is not at lained, we shall conclude that they prefer a con tinuanc? of the abuses and corruptions which have of late teen so freely and properly denounced by our bett citizens. In these respects none can dsnv bet a radical chanee is demanded, and the W :bilitv, therefore, now rests with those who immediately interested in effecting it. Vacillating. The SrwABD-LiwcoLN Administration, accord ingto Republican accounts, are hesitating between two opinions. For a few days past the impression has prevailed in Republican circles at the Federal Capital that it was not improbable that the Govern meat would maintain the status of Fort Sumter .and i hat Fort Pickens had already been re enforced. On the other band, the Administration -aasuie the Commissioners of the Confederate States that Fort Sumter will be abandoned, and that there will be no further cause of irritation on its part Both of these statements can not true, or else the Government is acting with duplicity and bad faith Our impression is, that Mr. Lincoln and his Cab inet have not yet determine 1 their policy It must be acknowledged that the issue is one of great embarrassment, and the more the subject is considered the more difficult will honest Old Abe find its solution. The opinion of the President is evidently a good deal like that of the man who was watching the pendulum of clock, on & bet. It is, " here aje goea there she goes " and like the pendulum it vibrates from one extreme to the other. The daily outgivings of his own organs demonstrates that Mr. Lincoln don't know what to do. 1 f he attempts coercion be knows full well that he will divide not only his party but the country, and if he continues the do-nothing policy he fears that his party will become thoroughly demoralized. The Republican party have got into power and success is likely to scatter the organization to the four winds of heareu. The vacillations of the Administration will soon bring it into contempt and satisfy the American people that the e'ection of Mr. Lincoln and the success of the Republican party were capital errors that should be rectified as soon as possible, 'lor r i 1 1 Tariff. The Republican tariff, says the Chicago Time, may be j istly styled the "bill of abominations." It has not only alienated, to no inconsiderable extent, the ood will of European nations and left us at the mercy of Southern free trade, but it has rapidly become a byword and a reproach among our people, for the bungling stupidity with which it has been drawn and its glaring injustice to our great laboring and consuming classes. This tariff, if carried out, will collect from the pockets of the farming, laboring classes from the common peop e an amount of money wholly disproportionate to their ability to pay. It not only does not discriminate in favor of the poor, but it discriminates directly against them. In th first place it furnishes a free list or schedule of articles not taxed, which are used almost exclusively by the wealthier classes. In the next place it t ax -most disproportionately the necessaries of life and the luxuries of life. A very casual glance at the scale of taxation will proe this to every impartial mind. As examples, we will furnish a few items taken at random from the several schedules : The article of foreign wines, known to be exclusively used by the rich, are only taxed 40 cents per gallon the average on all foreign drinks being about 33 per cent, ad valorem; inc foreign carpeting is taxed from 25 to 33 per cent.; raw silks only 20 per cent. the average on silks being from 20 to 30 per cent.; silk velvets range from 15 to 30 per cent.; China and porcelain wares only 30 percent.; watches only 15 percent.; on jewelry generally the charge is 35 per cent.; while diamonds , cameos, mosaic, qmns, pearls, rubies and other precious stones, art char je i only jive per cent! Every reader will recognize these as articles of luxury, and used almost exclusively, if not entirely, by the rich; and yet they are taxed at an astonishingly low figure Let us now tarn to the other side of the pic tures : On all iron, and iron manufactures which enter into jeneral consumption and are regarded as necessaries of life, the tax is high and oner ous to the last degree. For example : on bar and rolled iron we have a tax of $15 per ton; on railroad iron, $12 per ton; on boiler plate, $20 per ton; on fine wires, two cents per pound, with 1 J?. a . an aaaition oi ia per cent, an valorem; average on rolled and hammered iron, $90 per ton; on thin glased sheet iron, $30 per ton; on steel, an average of $90 per ton. Thus on these article of daily use and requirement to the business and toiling million, the tax is monstrous; while the millionaire is permitted to sip his MoneeHH.v! . tits Champagne and Johanisberger at 30 cents per gallon! But again: All woolen clothing is taxed at 12 cents per pound, with an addition of 25 per cent. ad valorem; all woolen shawls, etc., 16 cents per pound, with an additional 20 per cent, ad valorem; common delaines, 30 per cent. Thus we hare the pear servant girl and the laborer's wife or daughter paying a tax of 30 per cent, on her cheap delaine dress, and 16 cents per pound, and 10 per cent, added, on her plain woolen shawl; wlule the rich and silken-curled, novel-reading heiress lolls on a silk velvet sofa, paying 15 per cent., and sports a silk morning wrapper paying 20 percent.! Then, again, we have the laboring million paying a tax of 6 cents per bushel on bag. ged salt, to season their potatoes; while the child of wealth is filling with exotic flowers a porcelain vase taxed at 30 per cent, ad valorem, and her bosom swells under richly carved cameos, taxed 2 per cent., her ears burdened with diamonds taxed 5 per cent., and her snowy neck and arms bound with jeweled necklaces and bracelets paring 5 per cent. And the gallant snob, who makes her a morning call, sports his golden Tobias, paying 15 percent, ad valorem! 1 bins oi it, laboring men! your wives paying from 30 to 50 per cent, tax on their plain and hard earned apparel, and you yourselves paying a tax of six cents a bnahel for your salt, while watches pay 15 per cent., rare wines pay 30 cents on the gallon, or about 10 per cent., and diamond, pearls and rubies pay 5 per cent. ! And while you da think of it, never forget that this is the work of men who have literally made heaven and earth sick with their cries of "tree labor," and Moeceted humanity with their hypocritical

professions of devotion to the masses of man kind I Verily and truly is thii Republican tuitV the

bill of abominations. We are prepared to believe that had a Southern planter shown such rank oppression to his slaves as this tariff exhibits to wards the hard working free men of the North, he would be mobbed and perhaps hung by Ms outraged neighbors. There is one and only one consolation in this matter; and that is. that the very authors of this tariff will be compelled to repeal it and thus fail to reap the iniquitous re ward of their already exposed hypocrisy and duplicity.

D. Walpole closed in the (juiun case Wednesday m jrning. making a very able argument. The Judge delivered his charge and the jury retired about eleven o'clock. They were out about an hour and returned a verdict of guilty on the second coun of the indictment which embraced murder in the second degree and manslaughter tw o charges in one count, fixing the punishment at six years in the Penitentiary. Thus has at length termin .ted a trial that has excited a treat interest in a portion of our community. The first details of the murder were horrible, and at the first trial the prisoner's council had to labor not only against the strongest possible circumstantial evidence, but against a strong popular iWeling. The man was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to imprisonment for life. His lawyers got a new trial on some legal point, and when the excitement has somewhat subsided he lias been found guilty of a lesser crime, and received a comparatively light sentence. His lawyers worked with great zeal, and could not have believed him guilty of the cold-blooded deed charged in the first count of the indictment or they would not have make such superhuman efforts to save him. The speech of Mr. Walpole yesterday, is spoken of as one of the ablest ever made a; this bar. Moral Instructor for the Northern Prison. We are gratified to learn that our old friend. Capt. Earlywine, has been appointed moral instructor for the Northern Indiana State Prison. The Captain has long been an cllicieut worker iu the Republican cease, ami now, when honors arc to be distributed, it is meet that he should not be overlooked. Shelby rille Banner. Well, this is one of the qualifications for a "Moral Instructor." Capt. Earlywine "has long been an efficient worker in the Republican can-c" which means, we suppose, that he was a WideAwake, parading through the streets while honest men were in bed, drinking bad whisky, shouting for the "rail splitter," and guarding the polls against Democratic voters. Wehope the"morals" of the convicts at Michigan Citv w ill improve un der the Captain's instruction. N. A. Lcdyer. Democratic In ion City Convention. Pursuant to notice, the delegates to t':e City Convention assembled at the Court-house on Wednesday evening, April 3d, to nominate candidate for city officers. Ou motion, Col. Ebenezer Dumout was elected President, and Jul. Bcetticher and R. D. Slater were chosen Secretaries. Ou motion of J. B. Ryan, a Committee on Resolutions was appointed, to consist of one del egate from each ward. The delegates from the several wards selected the following committee: First Ward, Ad. Seideustiiker; Second Ward, Aquilin Jones; Third Ward, John W. Dodd; Fourth Ward, J. B. Rvan; Fifth Ward, N. B. Palmer; Sixth Ward, Earl Reed; Seventh Ward, Wm. Wilkinson. On motion of H. H.

Vandergriff North and O'Conner, constituted the committee During the absence of the committee able and eloquent speeches were made by R. J. Rvan and H. H. Dodd. The committee on resolutions, by Mr. Ryan, its chairman, then made the following report, wiiith was unanimously adopted : Reaolved, That the Union Democracy of Indianapolis, in convention assembled, herebv declare their determination to act in concert with all citizens of whatever part who are in favor of a peaceful adjustment of our National troubles on the basis of the Crittenden or any other fair and honorable compiomise that will be effectual to restore the Union of the State-", and the fra ternal feeling and brotherly regard that animated our Fathers in its creation.

The Democratic party were then triumphant, and among other soubriquets by which they were known st home and abroad, was that of the "Great Unwashed." It is quite possible that they resented this saponacious theory as a wanton insult, and set their faces firmly against its dissemination. The idea is us longer liable to political objection; but on statistical grounds we consider it open to contradiction. We think strong reasons exist for asserting that it is not in the use of soap, but much rather in the use of tobacco, opium, coffee, tea, alcohol, chloroform, and the like inventions of a progressive society, that we are to look for a true measure of civilization. Liebeg also gave his sanction to the theory perhaps was the author mt it that alcohol liquors are food. A few years ago one of the English reviews, the "Westminster," adopted this theory, and published a very able argument to prove that bread was alcohol and that alcohol was bread. Recently, however, it has abandoned the theory, and on the authority of several eminent physiologists, who made experiments to te-t the "behavior" of alcohol in the animal organism, asserts that alcohol is not converted into tissue or consumed in respiration. Like crdoroJbna; the " Review"holds,and other anesthetic agents, it ac ts specifically on the brain and the -ener d nervous sv-tem, and is eliminate! imdacompnsa i FrOH the body. We are also told that it tends to arrest waste of tissue, and to cause a deposition of fatty substance, so that, although not food, it may go far, when food is deficient, or waste excessive, to supplv the place of mod; while, taken in Salt, it will kill just as chloroform, opium or nicotine taken in excess will kill. Ab-inthe, called in Fiance the "Opium of the West," claims a high place among the potables whose use contributes to form a me isure ol civil ization. The Paris correspondent of : New York paper, the World, gives an interesting account, based on scientific authority, of the composition and effects of this fascinating drink. He says: ABSINTHE HINKINO. The frightful effects caused by absinthe drinking in France are just now exciting n good deal ot interest in the medical fraternity. Ab-inthe is drank in immense quantities by all clas-es of society in Paris. In front of the magnificent caies in the boulevards, between three ami five o'clock in the afternoon, hundreds of gentlemen may be eii sitting, mixing and sipping this villainous green liquor, which is taken b) way of an appetizer before dinner. Workmen drink it in the low corner establishments of the mar dutnds de ein. In different portions of the cityare establishments which are crowded from Morn ingtill night, in w hich the sale id' absinthe is made a "speciality," and wheie nothing else is sold. Ladies of high families are reported to bar yielded to its fas -ination. It has been exported and i- use I to an enormous extent in ail the French colonies, and statistics of exportation show that immense quantities of it are sent to America; and it SB J not, therefore, be uninteresting to your readtrs, particularly if any of them are in the habit of "taking a little absinthe before dinner ju-t to ;ive them an appetite," to leant something about the composition and effects of this tednctiv liqti r, which, from the actual irresistible power w hieb it wields over its victim as well as from the similarity of its effects and the general and incre kling popularity it has acquire!, may not ÜRfpropjy be called' the "opium of the West." WHAT IT iä MADK OF. In a paper recently read before the Academy of Medicine of Paris, M. Mater, a physician who has e idcnt'.v devoted a coed de.l of attention to this subject, says tint the habitunl use of nbsili'Iie .ui.-o- a serie- of . '.f ho'. ..: ' 1 1 in in : te -t t tions extremely grave, and differins essentially from the efl'ects produced by other alcoholic drinks. Woe ten yean past sawraMMM quantities of it have been drank in Paris. The murderous bever: c has been taken to Algeria, where it tits been greatly abused by the coloni.-Ls and the army, and where the heat of the climate tends greatly to heighten its deleterious etl'evts. The effect of huge dose or of the habitual use of this liquor is now well known, L at the drinker returns to it in obedience to an apparently ir.-esistib'.e fascination, knowing that it is destroying him. "Absinthe," which is a French word, meaning in English, "wormwood," is liquor made by the di-i'illation of a number of plants with alcohol. These are the tops of the wormwood, flag root, nnniseed, augelica root, leaves of dittany origanum dictamnus,) and sweet marjoram. All these are placed in alcohol of very hih proof, where they are allowed to remain eight days, when the mixture is distilled, and half an ounce of the essential oil of anise is then added to each three gallons of the liquor. The first care after the distillation is to see whether the liquor lias a good color, and whether it will "whiten well, and if it is lacking in these essentials it is brought up to the proper point with inligo, tincture of curcuma, hyssop, nettles, and sulphate of copper, (the ordinary "blue .vitriol.") Absinthe, however re quire no adulteration to make it a positive poison. Composed of plants of highly excitiug qualities, mixed with highly concentrated alcohol, it acts directly upon the nervous system, having a much more positive effect than other alcoholic liquors. In the process of distillation the plant? furnish several volatile oils, which are among the most Violent poisons, and beside these it must ie remembered that a large quantity of the essential oil of anise is added.- Probably few peioa?, in mixing their absinthe, have ever stopped to consider the cause of the "whitening," or ever thought that the better the liquor "mixes" the more powerfully ioisonous it is. The white dejiosit, which in precipitating renders the liquors turbid, comes from the essential oils of anise, wormwood, angelica, ic, which are he'd in solution of alcohol, but which are not soluble in water, or alcohol, weakened with it. ITS EFFECTS. So much for the composition of ths vile compound. Now for its effects, which iu a sentence are summed up by Dr. Motet as a general poi -on ing of the system, which terminate.- iu insanity and deith. The following are given as the primary effects of the habitual use of absinthe: The muscular system is brought into'a state of uncertainty and indecision, which is eisy to icog nize by contractions and trembling of the forearm, of the h ind and inferior members. Strauge sensations are observed by the unfortunate victime aoch as tingling and pricking of the skin, heaxiaessof the limbs, and numbness the hand seizing and as suddenly letting go anything within its reach. In standing the patients require something to le in against, not being solid upon their leg-; the kiee-i tremble and bend, a general air of hebetude marks the feature; the lips, the the tongue and the muscles of tbe lace tremble; the eye is sd and sorrowful; the skin be imes

The F retch Government has prohibited me use of absinthe in the army and navy even to the ofliecr and it is said that an attempt is to be in u!e to prevent its importation into the colonies. Deaths and insanity, the result of its habitual nsc, are, I am informed by a medical friend of mine, very ommon in Pans, and tlint on the tomb store of several of the prominent men in the literary world, wIiom- lights have gone out during the pst ten yeirs. might with truth le written, died of absinthe." And yet, w ith all these ter riblc facts before them, the u-e of this ill on ms mixture is daily increasing, and. it is by mo me ins improbable that the (overnineiit, which interferes in matters of much less imiortance, will find it necessary before long to adopt a Maine litpior law," prohibiting the sale of the poisonous compound. The Cathedral i the Citt of Mexico This Cathedral is probably the most capacious edifice of worship in America. It is 500 feet long, 120 feet wide, and capable of holding 30.000. The edifice is thus described : The building is not iu conformity with any order of architecture, although remarkably imposiug.

Tin- Discoveric of Tlinpral Ol l--V -ritrmrnt in i . : m..i . As much excitement prevails in some portions ; i of the countrv on account of recent discoveries j

of a species ol petroleuin m mineral oil, us was ! . 1 a f ,. M occasioned by the first announcement ot gold in California ; and if the commercial results do not prove as important, enough Is already known to t-how that the subterranean deposits of nituminous oil are destined to enter lare!y into the channels of trade. The " oil region is very extensive. Boring is going on with varying success in Pennsylvania. Southwestern Ohio, in large portions of western Virginia, and at several points iu Kentucky. In the region thus indicated, considerable tracts have been le i-ed by squatters at enormous rates. But according to account-: iven by a gentleman of our acquaintance ju.-t arrived from Western Virginia, the locus of excitement at the present moment is in the neighborhood of the little Kanawha, about twenty eight m'les trora its mouth, near Parkersburg, Wirt county. Speculators of every grade, eiger to stake out their respective claims, h ive exch ingel the refinement of civilized life for the hard usage of the backwood-, quite content to sleep ou the floor I of a c bin extemporized from a few logs. Remote from any habitation- je 'pie of al! cla had assembled' in . uch number.- thar to ; : iw ;v ; immediate!- was impossible: while to remain was to be deprived almost of the means of subsis tence, rresli arrivals only aggravated the c.i-c. until other arrangements could be provided; and without regard to age or condition, all were smeired with the black, fetid, molasses lookinsubstance which formet tue common object of pursuit. The account- given are quite marvelous. Our informant says : "One well, bored by Lewe! en k Co., has produced 1,00 barrels "per day. There are two other wells nearly as productive, upon the land ot Mr. Rathburn." Hundreds of wells sue being bored in the vicinity, but these three exceed ail others in the amount yielded. Still, twenty-five, fifty or a hundred barrels per day are not un usual. This oil is of superior quality, cither for lubricating or illuminating purposes. Many oi the steamboats on the Ohio are abM it on their machinery and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, I understand, use it on their cars in n crude state saving at the rate of $50,000 per annum, compared with the lubricating oils heretofore eint loved. At present, the oil on the Little K inawha sells for twenty-li e cents per gallon. There are often 1,000 arrivals nt the wells in n single day. One third interest in I tract of 176 acres was sold a tew davs ago for $100,000 bonus. the le-.-ee paying to the land ow ner one-third of all the oil obtained over and above the amount of the Dotal. Before the discoverv of oil, this land was worth five dollars n acre." The oil mini.i is destined to have its day, like all others which have preceded it. A few large fortunes will be made chiefly in the sale or. transfer of lands, while many individuals will be. 1 indeed already are, hopelessly ruined. For illuminating purposes, (we are informed by an old oil merchant of this city who can speik dis interestedly.) the oil now coming forward so plentifully and which aim -t gluts the m irke; even now, has no superior. Iu illuminating lower it compares favorably with gas, and einitM -moke when burning. It rapidly evaporates, which is a serior.s drawback of course, and iliabie to objection ou account of its offensive odor; but mechanic.il ingenuity is being directed with earnestness for the discovery of the most approved construction of lamps, und thus far with promising results. IiBproved machinery for purifying the crude oil is also being devised, so that eventually we may expect to be in posse-ion of a substance Baach Bteaper, and lor man purposes more desirable than oils now in use. It is obvious, however, that the m mufacture of coal oils will I e attended with uncertainty and risk, and will continue to be until the chemical dlfHrnh CI xperisaosd shall have yiehle I more fullv to inventive skill.

I he experience thus obtained, may, however, be u eful to succeeding c mpaii;es. One fact is specially noticeab e in the history of oil discoveries: Artesian wells are bored aimot everywhere to obtain supplie f Water; and though the object immediately in view w as foiled in many insttnees, the "oil region" was unconsciously mapped 7ut, rfiadj for development hen enterprise should take the proper direction. Industry seldem fails ot its reward. N. Y. Journal of Commerce. Cultivation . i lowers. We copy the following items from the annual Catalogue of one of the most successful cultivators and sellers of flower seeds iu the United States: Hartlv annuals are those plants that flower and ripen their fruits and perish in one season, but many of them may be sown in autumn to flower early the next year. Hardy annuals grow witiiotit artificial heat, come to perfection in the open ; grounds; but what are known as half hardy plants i need a little artificial heat, except in very favor i- : ble localities. A great many persons, who do not understand the cultivation of .-oine of the tender I and small seeded varieties, sometimes complain I of the best see ls, which tail, not on account of the bad growing proierties of the seeds, but sotelf ' from bad management. Web ive he ml repeated I instances of many delicate seeds, like the C ilicolaria, Chinese Primrose, being sown in the ' open ground. On one occasion a party com plained of certain varieties of fine seeds that we found, upon examination, were sown from one to two inches deep literally buried. The most in faa erieneed in gardening matters can sow sweet pee-, but it reijiiires a practiced hand to look after such delicate seeds as calceolaria, cineraria, fuchsia, and such like, i And we add that it require- the very finest preparation of soil. We recommend all w ho son the most delicate flower seeds, to sii't the earth through a seive fine enough for corn meal. Upon the subject of soil, we copy from the catalogue the following observation-: Soil The soil best adapted to lowering plants generali v is linltt friable loam, containing a mod erate amount of vegetable matter, and sufficient i sand to render it porous, but as it rarely happens that the amateur has much choke of soil , it is fortunate that most of them will succeed in any, but such is of an extremely dry, sandy, or calcareous nature, or of a stiff, heavy, retentive character. In the former, the plants are sure to be starved, and in the latter, if they ever f iirlv take root there isgenerally an ando development of the foliage at the exciise of the flowers, in soils of this description much ui iv be done by thoroughly breaking up the superficial crust, or, ; ns it is teehnic-illy termed, "trenching" it at least one spade deep, digging in slurp s and or road scrapings, and if the operation be performed in autumn so that the'loo-icned soil is thoroughly exposed during the winter to the d'siiiteLTatlng in fluences of frost and other atmospheric agencies, ! the advantage will be trreatlv increised ture should be avoided. In ordinarilv good soil an annual leai dte-sing of leaf mold, decayed turf, or thoroughly rotten manure, in pi mtities pro)ortionecl to the re piirements of the soil, dug to the depth cd' lew baches, will be all th it is requisite. These should be applied in spring, on!v ju-t previous to sowing the seeds. or muco of the benefit resulting from their be lost, though a single digging application will may be auras-nro.u-hiL' the tageoustv given in autumn. In beds, care iiiu-t be taken that thev are so arra; ! that the ground may be a littie'clevatcd in the I middle that the water may run off, and the plants show to a better advantage. Ci kioi s Phknomenon. "How is it that you raise so large and nice OuioaaZV I asked of an Iowa fanner, as I was .sitting at the table with htm, and observing some on the table. "Well,'" said he, "we sprout the seed with boiling water, and then plant it early and in good ground." "Sprout the seed in boiling water!" I exclaim el. haqadrinajiy. "What doyuu nie tu, sir, Bj that": Won't boiling water k;ii toe -eed'.'" "Not at all." he repliel; "but it wotiid sprout them in one minute's time." "It will? It looks incredible!" I replied with surprise. "Will you try i." he repled. "when the time comei to plant, and you will find it just as I tell vou." And stire enough, when spring came and my neighbor was alxiut planting his onion seed, and being present, I said: "Jewell, last winter there was a man told me in Iowa that to pour boiling water on onion seed would sprout it in one minute. Suppose vou trv "Very well." sail he; and taking the leakettle boiling fnm the stoe he poured the water thus boiling on the seed which he had in I tea saucer. ' ' .

From the time I first discovered its dropping, however, up to the time of its total disappearance. I employed everything I could think of, being a pro- : - i . -i 1 mun myself; and. as I thought understanding the nature of the disease, but was finally defeate d in every pre.-c iption advanced. Tlie-e and no other circumstances induced me to resort to vi.'. r worthy Hair Restorative, which I have every reafen to belive produced a very happy result; two months at . r the first application, 1 had as beautiful a bead of oung hair a- I ever saw. for which 1 certainly owe you my mo-t sincere thank.

HOG'S LARD, WHALE OIL, LARD OIL, SWEET OIU scented and colored, make up, when in beautiful wrappers and white flint glass bottles, tbe costliest character of tonic: and when thus costly are baptised with some trisyllable term, and caught at by verdant young and old of both sexes. Such i not the character of Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative. This gentlemencomes before the world without any "bighfalutin" Xilophloforium, or any other astounding or startling catchpenny terras: be simply advertises a Hair Reutoratire what it expresses, precisely and as a Restorative it act. Buy Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative; aud, as you value your scalp, aye, your very brains, apply noi hing else; for it may be that you will get some worse substance than perfumed lard oil on your cranium. Remember, Wood's Restorative for tbe hair is the best article extant." Licome. Noble county, Indiana. Feb. 5, 1S5. Prof. 0. J. Wood: Dear Sir In the latter part of the year 1852, while attending the State and National I .aw 'School of the State of New York, my bair. from a cause unknown to me, commenced falling off very rapidly, so that in tbe short space of six months, tbe whole upper part of my scalp was almost entirely Wreft of Its covering, and much of the remaining portion upon the side and back part of my bead shortly after became gray, so that you will not be surprised when I tell you that upon my return to the State of Indiana, my more casual acquaintances were not so much at a loss to discover tbe cause of the change In my appearance, as my more intimate acquaintances to recognise me at all. 1 at once made application to the most skillful physicians in the country, but receiving no assurances from them that my bair could sain be restored, I was forced to become reconciled to my fate, until fortunately in Ihe latter part of tin-year ls.",7. voui Restorative was recommended to me by a druggist, as being the moat nBstils Hair Restorative in use. I tried one bottle, and found to my great satisfaction that it was producing tbe desired effect. Since that time I have used seven dollars' worth of your Restorative, and as a resuh, have a rich coat of very soft black hair, which no money can buy. As a mark of my gratitude for your labor and skill In the production of so wonderful an article, 1 have recommended it use to mmiv of my frit nds and acquaintances, who, I am happy to inform you, are using it with like effect. Very respectfully, yours, A. M. 1TTA, Attorney and Counselor nt Law.
