Fast Freight Runs.

The B. & O. S. W. has been making records on quick despatch freight within the past week or two. Two trains, one weighing 732 and the other 734 tons, ran from Cincinnati to Parkersburgr 200 miles, in 8 hours and 3 minutes and 8 hours and 4 minutes, respectively. The run from St. Louis to Cincinnati, 340 miles, was made in 1G hours. Considering that some of the grades exceeded one per eent., the performance ranks with the best o-n record and demonstrates thht the track and motive power of the B. & O. S. W. must be in good condition. No one in ordinary health need become bald or gray, if he will follow sensible treatment. We advise cleanliness of the scalp and the use of Hall's Hair Renewer.
