ter wns received. Tuesday by John W. Oarrelt,
E?r , President of the Baltimore and Ohio Bail
road, from a-prominent citizen of Boston, inquiring
whether no would give free passage on the
Washington Branch of the road for the Legisln
tores or Virginia and Maryland, in ease they
abonld pay n visit to Boston. The letter arya:
We have made application to all the other
mads, making a similar requtffet, nnd have' reoeived
a reply from 8. M. Felton, Esq., President
of the Philadelphia and Baltimore fiailroad, offering
the free use of his road, provided the other
roads did the saine. Before* wo wrote to any
of the companies we were assured by leading
members of the Legislature that as soon as a free
use of the roads could be obtained, they would
pass a resolution of invitation, nnd offer the hosIdtnlities
of the State to the bodies both of Maryand
and Virginia; nnd further considered it desirable
that the arrangement should be made In
time to the end that the honorable bodies should
make on the 22d the visit, nnd proceed to Bunker
Hill and Lexington. In ease -they should
come, the roads will be made free from Boston to
Concord, N. II., nnd to any other |M>int* to which
the visitors might desire to go. Should they agree
to come, the Legislature of New York will also
be hero, whilst the Legislature of Pennsylvania
yrill also be invited.
In reply to tbc letter, the authorities of the
road stated that in case the Legislature of Massachusetts
invited the Legislatures of Virginia nnd
Maryland to visit them, the rond would be at.
their service.?Jiichmond l)i?patch.

Catalogue of this flourishing institution is before
lis. Attached to it is a beiftitiful plate of the central
building, and the grounds around lb This
College is well officered and grows steadily in
public favor. One hundred and twenty nine
young ladies were enrolled as pupils, last year.
TTlie institution is patronized by all denominations
in Greenville, the College falling heir to
the valuable property of the old Greenville Female
Academy. Never can we forget that old
Academy, and the glorious spring I hut pushed
ftaira the rocks nt the foot of the hill. Never
can we forget the sweet faces of the sweet girls,
who listened to one instructions, in I he old brick
building, nearly fourteen years ago. We see
tbem now, crowding around their delighted
teacher, at recess, with bright smiles and gift*
delicious. We feasted in those days, dear friends;
our desk was daily filled with the fruits nil'd
sweet things, the darlings gave us.. And row,
while we write, in spite of us, a large tear falls
upon the paper before us. Let it fall, for suine
of those ?1enr children nre r.ot now. The eyes
that beamed witli hope and love and happiness,
are closed la.earth forever; the warblers of the
old grove on-the hill, ore with their winged sisters,
the angels, now, singing the melodies of
Heaven.
In looking over the Cntalogne before us, we

Trial of Hazlett, the IIarpnJs Ferry C< >?*pi fata
r.?Mn?{ witnesses were examined to day, and
their testimony was conclusively to the point j
that Hazlett was one of Brown's party. The on
ly difference in the testimony was as Jfe the color
of the prisoner's hair, some stating Tm;t it was
red and others that it was a light, color. Ilis !
hair at the present time is rather dark, though it ;
has the appearance -of being colored by a linif
dye.
Amongst the visitors in attendance ot the court I
to-day was Iter. Mr. Newton, of Vermont, who
hasbueu before the Senate Investigating Commit*
tee.
The nnmber of witnesses summoned for the
commonwealth amounts to about forty, but all 1
will not be examined.
CiiAHLKfcTown, February 8.?A large nnmber of
witnesses wefts examined in the case of Hazlett.
Nearly all of them were satisfied as to his identity.
Major Ball's testimony is regarded as rather
favorable to the prisoner. He could not recognize
him as one of those on guard. Several others
testified that they did not see Hazlett in Shenandoah
street. The defence was ably managed j
by Messrs. Butts and Green.

The anniversary of the birth of Wasuinoton '
was duly celebrated on yesterday by the Butler 01

Esq., a member of the company. The exercises P'
of the occasion were opene<l hy Rev. 8. J. Hill,
wlio offered up to the throne of God, a most w
beautiful nnd fervent prayer. After which, the gl
orator of the ?lny was introduced. His address,
which was chaste and elegant throughout, wns th
listened to with the utmost attention by a large in
auditory cf our citizens, llis remarks were w?dl- 1*
timed, very appropriate, nnd delivered in quite T
a pleasant manner. G

Tlie beautiful side-wulk 011 the west side of r

has been very much admired, and is, wo think, ^
one of the most handsome and enduring improve- (l
ments which our town authorities have made d
for some time. The land on which it was con- I ^
etructed, was generously donated bycitir.cn* and .
tlie Railroad Company to the Council for the pur- ^
poses of a side-walk, in consideration for which c
the Council had the work constructed. The \
grading and entire work was superintended liy
Joseph I'owkl, Ksq., who contriliutcd his time and
labor very generously for the public good. We f
trust that other of our citizens, in the localities 1
where streets arc narrow and crooked, will likewise
grant to tlie Council as much land as will
enable that body to make such improvements ns ?
are necessary to the beauty and regularity of the *

Maxy kimls of Tonic are advertised that we
are assured will strengthen the hair, and prevent
ita falling out. but none tbnt we have seen need
does all that it promises; save that of Trofesaor
0. J. Wood. This we know is good front
having tried it, and witnessed in several cases ita
truly beneficial effects. Dr. Wood was kind
enough to send us a couple of bottles, and after
finding that it prevented our hair from fallingout
we presented a hottlc to a friend who had been
Imld for at least thirty years; it has restored his
hair entirely, and it is now as thick and glossy
as when he was.twenty-five. This we say in all
sincerity, and we shall l>e glad to have our friends
try it for themselves, as we believe it is just what
It professes to be.
Cautiox.?Beware of worthless imitations, as
several are already in the market, called by different
names. Use none unless the words (Professor
Wood's llair Restorative, Depot, St. Louis,
Mo., and New York,) are blown in the Ikoltle,?
Sold by all Druggists and 1'uUnt Medicine dealers,
also by all fancy Toilet Goods dealers in the
