ALTOS, June 29th. ORO. Mono, June 29th, 137-5. Our Sunday school had a pleasant picnic last Thursday, at "Kaiser's Grove." We said it was pleasant, what there was of It; but about half-past one a cloud was cast over the enjoyment of the merry company, and all made hasto to find some shelter as near home as possible. In an incredibly short time the grove was vacated, and each one took the shortest cut home but although the people were effectually frightened, there was nothing but a slight sprinkle.

After this was over a small company who had reached town, put out croquet set, and picnic-ed In the yard of one of our citizens, ll is currently reported that a few remained in the grove and received the full beneSt of a heavy shower that fell about five o'clock. tCrops are improving, and the faces of tne farmers gradually shortening.

Rain, rain, rain, "I tell you it looks blue," say the farmers, and well they may say it, for it what remains of the crops is in great dauger of being lost by reason of the copious showers that are falling daily.

In view of this fact, it to be regretted tbat the people ol Ujjpei- Alton did not give die lecturer of last evening a better puirodlge than he received.

3ut as tipper Altonrdus are used to a semi- comatuse state during the summer months, they seem loth to be aroused therefrom for an historical discourse however interesting may prove to be.

Mr. A. fchuwed by quotations from the to the second edition of Jefferion's "notes" that the author doubted the iorrectoess of the charges ag-iiutt Col.

Tresap, in the first edition, and he said 1 "the story of Logan is only in the notes on Virginia as I learned it in Williamsburg; I believe at Lord Duumore'a, and I find iu my pocket took of that rear (1774) an entry of the narrative aa taken from the mouth of some ierson, whose name, however, is not noted nor recollected." He gave several quota- ions from different sources iu support of is view of the cinse, among which were 'Life of Ci'esnp" by John J.

A dressing whicli is at agreeable, and effectual for preserving the hair. It soon restores faded or flair to its original color, with the ann nf youth. Thin tliickeneil, failing hair checked, baldness often, though not always, cured its use. Xotiiins; can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the gjaads atrophied and lecayed: hut such as remain can be saved by this application, aud stimulated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling thn hair with a pasty sedi- 'ncnt, it will keep it clean and vigorous.

Its use will prevent the hair turning gray or falling off, and vnsiMiui-iiily prevent baldness. The of vit it gives to the 1 jtri'V'-ats the formation ot which is often so un- and offensive. Free from those ranees which make some prep.irn'ions dangerous and injurious to tiht h.iir. tiie can only aenelit nut nut hurra it. If wanted merely for a HAIH DRESSING, IMII found so desirable.

Prepared by Dr. Ayer PractioM Aiialvtiral Chemists, Ayer's Cherry "Pectoral, For Diseases of the Throat aod Lungs- such as Coughs, C9lds, "Whooping- Cough, Bronchitis, Asttma, and Consumption.

Amon? the great discoveries of modern science, few are of more real wu'ne to mankind than this effectual remedv for all diseases of the Throat 'and Lungs. A Tast trial of its virtues. throughout this and other countries, has shown thut is does surely and control them. The testimony of our best citizens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CIIEKUT PECTORAL will and does relieve and cure the disorders of the Tlirout and Lungs beyond ar.y other medicine. The most dancerous affections of the Pulmonsrv Onjana to power; and coses of Consumption, cv.it.

1 by this preparation, are publicly knoTn, FO remiirknble n- hardly to be believed, were ncS proven beyond dispute. As a remedv, it is adequate, on which the public miiv relv Tor protection. Rv curing Coughs, die "ureninners of more serious disease, it saves unnumbered lives, and mi amount of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, aud convinces the most sceptical. Every family should ieep it on hand as a protection against the early and unperceived attack ot" Pulmonary Affec- which are easily met at first, but which jecome incurable, and too often fatal, if neg- ected.

Teuder hint's need this defence; and it is unwise to be witiiout it. As a safeguard to children, amid tbe distressing diseases which jcset tho Throat and Chest of childhood, CHEERY SECTORAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multitudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds, securing sound and health-restoring deep. No one will suffer troublesoma Infin- and painful Bronchitis, when they know low easily they can be cured. Originally ttie product of long, laborious, and nccessful chemical investipition, no coat or toil spared in making every bottle in the utmost K)ssible perfection.

It may be confidently relief ipon as possessing all the virtues it has evei exhibited, and capable of producing cures as memorable as the greatest it has ever effected. Dr. J. C. AYER Lowell, Practical and Analytical Ciemlsu.
