And The Proposed Bridge. The Hons. "Waymire, Prevo, and Nichols, commissioners of J asper county, met in special session, on Thursday, Dec., 27th, and contined m session for two days. Adopting plans and specifications for a new bridge over the Iroquois river, at Rensselaer, was the principal business of the session.

Polishing the Wrong End. Many men daily polish their boots who never give a thought to the condition ot their hair, .exept to harrow it casusally with brush and comb, or sumbit it to the paralyzing attentions of the average barber. What happens? Why, this: From neglect, mental anxiety, or any of a score of causes, the hair turns prematurely gray and begins to fall out. Parker’s Hair Balsam will at once stop the latter process and restore the original color. An elegant dressing, free Irom grease. 14-41. - .

Farrners'ar'j apt to overlook the many dangers, and liabilities to accidental injury, to which they are daily subjected. They handle a greater variety of tools and implements than Almost any other class of men. They mount ladders, clamber about stacks, loads 6f hay, onto the soot, and even climb trees. They are among the hoofs and horns and teeth of their live-stock. They drive in a promicuous way, in all sorts of conveyances, and at all times of the tlay, and in the darkest shades of night. They are, therefore, at all times, liable to cuts, bruises, kicks, goi-ee, bites, falls fractures and other injnries, Ad Injtnitum. This being true, every farmer should deem un accident policy indispensible. Teh dollars a year will secure a policy in the old and reliable Travklkr’s Issuraxcb Co., covering SI,OOO in case of accidental death, and #6 a week for disabling injury. Larger stima in same ratio.

Put a Brand on Him “Womeu are a necessary evil,” he said, bringing down his list hard on the counter to emphasize thft heartless remark. It Was In the village store at West Milton, Saratoga County, and the speaker was the central figure of a groin* of bueholio philosophers. He wns homely slovenly and sixty. “There’s where I differ from you altogether,’’ said Mr. George T. Graham, of the same place. “Women are mostly what men make ’em. When husbands are brutes wives will fall into submission or make home hot for the men; and they’re unnatural in either character. Love them, an . especially be good to them when they’re sick, and you’ll have no trouble. Thera’s my own wife, now. She’s suffered a good deal with dyspepsia- nervous prostration and other aliments that took the bloom off her cheeks and the spripg out of her stpps. Well, she saw au advertisement of I’arkkr’s Tonic, aud thought it would be just the thing for her case. Gentlemen, I sent live miles after a bottle She took it. Lsent again. after more. So several times. Trouble? Why, if you could soe how much good it has done her you would say that women are the greutest of cod’s blessings, and I’AitKKit’s Toxic is the next.” This preparation, which lias bee* Known as I’AKKKR’s Gincek Tonic, will hereafter be called simply Tabkkis’s Toxic. This change has been rendered necessary by substitutes imposed upon their customers by unprincipled dealers under the name of gingvr; and as ginger is really an unimportant flavoring ingredient, we drop the misleading word. There is no change, however,ln the preparation itself; aud all bottles remaining in the hands of dealers, wrapped under the name of ~l'arker’s GINGER Toxic,” contain the genuine medicine if the signature ofHiseox & Go. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.
