Partial Deafness and Discharges

Dr. HARTLEY generously offers to attend all
persons from affections of the ear at his Office, 7G0
Broadway N. Y, without charge until cured, there
by proving his success unequacd, and protecting
the deaf from being swndlcd by paying self-styled
aurSts CXorbitant fees in advance and the inhictiOn
of still more serious evils by permitting the appca
tion Of dangerous remedies by inexperienced and
unskilful hands. Dr. II. may here state that he has
no connection whatever with any person advertising
to cure deafness, neither has he given permission for
the publication of n certificate purportng TO oman-
ate from him. and cannot, therefore, be responsible
for any alarming consequences resulting from rash
ness and desperation. The loss Of mon ey may not
be material to some persons, but the deprivation of
one of the most important of the senses ought to be
regarded and treated with more than ordinary So
lictudc. Deafness, noise in the the head and all
disagrcoable discharges from the ear speedily and
permanently removed, without causing the least
pain or Inconvenience. cure in all cases guaran-
teed whore maformation does not exist Thirteen

his treatment to such degree of success to find

TEACHING THE EYE.-The great majoris
ty OF mankind do not and cannot see ons

The proverb that None are so blind as
those that will not see, is as true of phys
ical as of moral vision. BY neglect and
carelessness we have made ourselves unable
10 discern hundreds Of things which are
before lis 10 be seen. Thomas Carlyle has
summed this up in one pregnant sentence
"The eye sees what it brings the power to
see." How true is this! Tie sailor on
the lookout can sec ship where the lands
man sees nothing; the Esquimaux can dis
tnguish a white fox amidst the white
snow: the American back-woodsman will
fire a rifle lall so as 10 strike nut out Of
the mouth of q squirrel without hurting it;
the red Indian boys hold their hand up as
marks 10 each other, certain that the un-
erring arrow will be shot between the
spreading fingers; the astronomer can see
a star in the sky, where 10 others the blue
X )arse is unbroken; the shepherd can
distinguish the face Of every sheep in his

RAILROAD BRIDGE At PEoRIA.-The llli-
nois river is to be spanned by a railroad
bridge at Peoria, and The first span is in
process of erection. The bridge, we believe,
is for the accommodation of the eastern ex-
tension of the Peoria and Oquawka railroad.
There is already bridge for road wagons
across the river at that point, which has
met with much opposition from steamboat
men.
