It affords me great pleasure to add to nv te.ti-

Magic Compound. I had been subject to most
distressing cough FOR than forty years, and had
tried several remedies without deriving anv real
benefit. My cough continued to grow worse every
winter till the winter Of 1856, then was confined to
my bed, and all who saw me thought me diving with
consumption. Ny son, who had just been cured
Of bad cough by using part Of bottle Of your
Compound. gave a few doses Of it. This help
ed me so much that l procured bottle and be-
fore had used al Of this, restored TO health
Since then I have had no cough, and though I am
about seventy years old, enjoy good health; and
! attribute IL all to your medicne-the Magic
Compound,
Very truly yours. LEVI BEAN.

good reason why you should not invest IL;
but it were worse than cruel, it wee crlmf
nal, to invest the funds of this city, at ttnlS
time, in speculations which, to say tne
least, are unnecessary if the propositio" VI
this article are carried out. We see no
good reason why this city should not oe
lighted as cheap as our rural neighbor, re-
tersburg, and contend that, with the excep-
ton of the difference of transportation ON
the crude material, it can. Ii then, you
cannot effect such an arrangement as VIII
afford the tax payers well lighted city at
the same rates that other cities are paying,
raise the company, and in the plentitude OF
your patriotism light our streets at proper
and equitable reduction; but base me- calcu-
lations upon assistance from the city. The
time for the city of Norfolk to take hold o.
such speculation has passed. When the
present company was organized was her
time, but as she did not avail herself OF that
opportunity it is not right and proper that
she should go into what may prove a CHM
e*ical speculation now.
