TIE MANNER OF NoRoAN's DEArH.-
In the Knoxville Wing Of the 7th, Brown
aw gives the following sketch Of the ''life
and public services Of John Morgan:
John Morgan is no more! And when he
died THIEF and COWARD EXPIRED He
was killed in Mrs. Williams back yard, or
was shot through the heart by Andrew
Campbell. Of Company g, 18th Tennessee
Cavalry, while trying to escape. There
should be q salute fred in front of every
horse stable in the land in honor Of his
death! And all fine horses and mules
should be notified that they may now re-
pose in quiet at night, and Craze in peace
Morgan leaves q large amount Of gold
and greenbacks, cotton and real estate, the
proceeds Of his thieving exploits, resulting
from untold murders and robberies,
through . space Of three years. Who his
legal heir in will be difficult to settle. His
first wife was the sister Of Col. Bruce Of
Kentucky. She died In Lexington from
the neglect and bad treatment Of her de.
based, gambling and thieving husband
His second wife was the negro wench he
had with him during his residence in this
city. She Is in Kentucky. His third
wife is the daughter Of Chas. Ready Of
Murfreesboro', and she is at Abingdon in
Virginia. Vuk own opinion IL, t0aL the
negro wench has the oldest claim upon the
estate, but we leave this grave question
Of law to be settled in the Confederate
Courts, or by special act Of their Con-
gress. 81
Gen. Gillian is in our town, and brought
with him eighty-six Of Morgap's men, on
Monday evening, who we saw turned over

Ths sad experience Of our Missouri neigh.

are necessarily left to his judgment and

cannot make orders IN conflict with the
law, but his power as Chief

beyond dispute.

hammation Of the lining membranes of the cavi
ties of the head, accompanied in the first stage
by a watery discharge from the nose, subsequer'
ly becoming ac-id and yellow, and towardr
close of the attack. purulent and bloody. These
attacks produced a most distressing species of
headache, occurring periodically each day for a
period varying from one to three weeks, some
times so violent as TO incapacitate me for bust
ness and at times cOnhne me to my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would extend

Among the numerous testimonials in his Dos
session, DIR. Lighthill has selected "a few only OF
those from parties OF established position and
well known throughout the country.
[Frsm the Home Journal N. " June 4to, iss4-
In every business or profession, indeed in ever,
department of science or skill. there is always
ONE acknowledged head-some one Who stands
out IN bold relief among hIs fellows. as a sort OF
leader. In the study and treatment of deafness
and catsrrh. as special diseases, DIR. Lighthill OF
this city, occupies the position above described
He has devoted years of labor to this speciality.
and is now reaping the reward OF his industry
The editorial columns OF the Tribune OF a recent
date bear witness to the Doctors success in this
department of medicine. We quote the para
graph:
"CURE OF a DEAR MUTE-Louis Loewenstein,
a lad fourteen years of age, born in Germany,
came 10 this city when he was about two years
old. Soon after his arrival here he was taken
sick and lost his hearing. By degrees he became
first deaf and then dumb. For nearly ten years
he was d mute, unable to hear the loudest voice,
or to articulate a word. About one wear ago he
was placed by his parents in the hands of DR..
Lighthill, who has so far succeeded in restoring
to him his lost powers of hearing and utterance,
that he can converse with those who speak TO
him distinctly aud deliberately. During the past
four or FIVE months he has been under the tnition
of Mr.. Beunecke. and has made considerable pro-
gress in writing and arithmetic"
Having been supplied with the lads address.
We further investigated the matter, and discov-
cred that. previous to calling on DR.. Lighthill
the youths case was considered hopeless, and he
was for two wears an inmate of the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum. The Rev. John Mott. ID. D.,
Professor in Union College; Schenectady, in a
published letter. tenders his gratitude to DIR.
Lighthill. for treating successfully his case of
deafness. Rev. Fred. S. Jewell, Professor Of
the State Normal School at Albany, also tssti-
hill possesses other testimonials and tributes to
his talent from some OF our wealthiest and most
prominent and respected citizens, which may be
seen on application. II would be difficult to
speak in any bat terms Of praise OF his treat
ment, in the face OF these many proofs and facts
