Gov. Chamberlain states in his recent message that there are 110,410 children in actual attendance on the free schools. This is about 40 per cent, of the school population of the State, which includes all between the ages of six and sixteen, and is a slight increase over the percentage.of last year. It appears that 55 per cent, of all the white children and 41 per cent, of all the colored children attend.

This one met the lady with demonstrations of great delight upon her arrival at her father’s house, and that night the dog went a distance of seven miles to a farm-house where one of the other dogs had been sent (the latter was blind, but kept as being an old favorite). In the morning, when the lady went to the door, she saw not only the dog which had given her such a glad reception the day previous, hut also the okEblind one, which had evidently been, ljsj.ciu.ight by the other dog to welcome her. pWlien the second night ciurfe, the old blind one was taken hack to the same dog, which afterward retu>ned, having traveled a distance of twenty-eight miles to give pleasure to the old blind one. — Land and Water. Maine papers have the following: “A farmer at Orrington has been for some time feeding a squash, in the hope of being able to bring it up to 200 pounds. The feeding is done by cutting off the vine about six feet from the squash and placing the end in a pan into which fresh milk is daily poured. By this means the vine absorbs about two quarts of milk per day, and the squash gains about a pound a day in weight.” Angle-worms to feed the trout in brooks of Wyoming bring two dollars per pound.

No other compound possesses the peculiar properties which so exactly suit the various conditions of the human hair. LOSS OF HAIR. w Boston, July 19. Messrs. Joseph Burnett & Co.: ior many month** my hair had b«cn falling off, until I was fearful of losing it entirely. The skin upon my head became gradually more and more inflamed. so that I could not touch it without pain. By tbc advice of my whom you had shown your process of purifying the Oil, i commenced its use the last week in June. The first application allayed the itching and irritation. In three or four days the redness and tenderness disappeared, the ha:r ceased to fall, and I have now a thick growth of new hair. Yours, very truly, SUSAN R. EDDY. A REMARKABLE CASE. 4 East Middleboro*, Mass., June 9, 1564. Messrs. Burnett & Co.: \Vhen my daughter’s hair came off she had been afflicted wdth neuralgia in her head for three years. She had Used, during that time, many powerful applications. These, with the intense heat caused by the pains, burned her hair so badly that in October, xß6i, it all came off, and for two years after her head was as smooth as her face. . J hrough the recommendation friend, she was mdueed to try your Cocoainh, and the result was astonishing. She had not used half the conteuts of a bottle before her h?ad was covered with a fine young hair. In four months the hair has grown several inches in length, very thick, soft and fine, and of a darker color than formerly. With respect, WM. S. EDDY.
