DISEASES TnE EAR We Seem ii service for
which the public, particularly those afflicted with
any disease of the Far will thank us, in reporting
the following fact. Mr. C. P. Bynum, with whom
we are well acquainted, has been deaf twenty years.
and besides his deafness he complained of disa-
greesble feeling in the ear Mr.. B. called on DR..
Won MOschzisker as he arrived in this city,
but believing that his disease was iRcurable he was
sorupulOus about placing himself under DIR. Ms
treatment From The success, however, Of other
cases his friends and amongst them ourselves, per-
suaded him to do So lie has been under the care
of the DIR. some two weeks snd his hearing has
increased that it is perceived by all his friends and
those who have known him for years. but Sir b
tells US that to his greatest delight the distress
ing, disagreeable feelings in his head have
tirely gone and that he has no doubt by the regu~
lar observation of De-. Ms prescriptions he will be
Sealirely restored. We advise all not TO neglect con-
sulting DIR. n. during his stay of this and next

CITY AFFAIRs.-At the meeting of the Common
Council last night, the 'act to ameni existing laws
governing the wharf" which had previously pas cd
the Board of Aldermen, was passed on its second
and third rea ings under a suspension of the rule,
and is now law. Ii imposes a tax OF twenty five
cents per ton upon railroad ron for every four days
it may be permitted to lie upon the wharf
TheresOutiOn from the Beard of Aldermen ap
pointing Joint select committee to inquire into The
condition Of the Nashville and Northwestern Pail
road and the propriey of making subscription
to the said road of Ter ceat upon the property
and tazables of the city, cOucurred in and the
following resolution ameuGatOry thereof, offered by
Mr.. Darden, adopted.
Resolrsd That said committee he instructed to
inquire into the power OF the CRY Council to levy
direct tax upon the property OF the petitioners for
the purposes indicated, and also 10 the propriey
of leyyIng said direct tax.
The bill to repeal the sixth and seventh sections
of the law regulating the market house, (which
provide for licensing hucksters so to throw open
the market house free to every body, was taken up
; md passed on Two readings, and then, under the
impression that there is eat in the ueaI"--in
other words that the repeal Of those sections would
revive an old law which Yves regarded very OBJ
iectiouable, The bill was referred TO a special COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Darden, Jones, and
Craighead with instructions TO inquire into the mat
Ter and report. So that the feature of the Law
which it was intended to repeal, and which
is certainly unjust, for it requires every man
VINO sens any lllhS ne aces not p1ouuoe hiulseu u
procure license, is 10 remain in sorce fer at least
two weeks longer. 1t may be said that this portion
of the law is not enforced. 1t, however, Is the
law, and every who violates it is liable to be
dealt with according to its provisions.
The meagerness of our market shows that the lsw-
abiding peopre Of the surrounding country do Dol
wish to place themselves in the position of violating
law Of the city. This Thing OF tinkeriug with oar
market laws has proven anything but satisfactory
TO the citizens generally. Now let our law-makers
give US 'free trade" and sell how that will work
Iuvite every body TO come and see what they will
and perhaps those who 60 TO purchase will not re-
turn with empty baskets because they caa find moth
Jog to buy.
