A terrible affair occurred in the town Of

dsy, q boy Of sixteen years having shot bis
father, Gsrvin Holiday, with q revolver
and then killed himself.
During the forenoon the boy had been
st work hoeing, and had complained of 8
pain IN his head. In the afternoon the
father, who is q manufacturer Of sewing
machines, was at work in his shop, about
half q mile distant from his dwelling
house. r
The boy came to the shop and told him
there were two men at the house who
wished to see him. Mr.. Holiday at once
started for home, the boy sccomPan yng
him. u
On the wsy the boy fell behind, and
when twenty or thirty rods from the house
drew 8 revolver and discharged it at his
father. The ball struck him in the neck,
back Of the left ear, passed outside OF the
spinsl column, and lodged under the bone,

The father fell to the ground somewhat

looking up saw his son, with 3 stone in

The Presse Scent fgue contains an in
terestine g. article, in winch DR.. J0ly's late
researches on tobacco, in a hygienic point
of view, are sDsly zed. DR.. Jolly is de-
clsred enemy of the fragrant weed" and
some of his articles are certainly telling.
Thus he shows that while the tobacco OF
the Levsnt, Greece and Hungary does not
contain any nicotine, that Of Arsois, Brazil,
Havana and Paraguay contains 2 per
cent. of that deleterious base; that of Ma
ryland c%ontsins 2 20 per c nt., that of Ken
lucky 6 %, and that of the department of
| the Lot nearly 8 per cent. while the sorts OF
| Alssca, the Pas de Calais, Ille-et- Vilaine
and Virginia are not lar removed from the
two lslter figures. It is evident, therefore,
that tobacco is noxious incorporation to tie
nicotine it contain 8 and that if the Turks,
| Greeks, Hungarians and Brazil smoke
with impunity from dsybreak to sunset, 1t
is because their tobacco either contains nc
nicotine at at all, or st bsst but very little.
Other nations smoke very innocent herbsi
such as hops, tea, sniseed, &c, and hence
the very different opinions held by medi-
cal men concerning the effects Of smoking
! Nor is the mode of smoking Indifferent
either. John Nicot in order to promote
the custom Of smoking imported q guam
tity of long hollow reeds from lisbon, Y
which he attached q small silver bowl, moi
unlike those now in use, made OF meer'
schaum or clay. Dutch pipss were INTRO
duced next then the long oriental ones
g., but the most noxious of all are the
short ones, while the cigar is the least OBJ
isctioasblo of slI. Napoleon did not smoke
1T all; and Goethe says that q man o.
genius cannot cultivate both his sciencC
and his pipe together; and thai If there
are q few illustrious exceptions to the rule
still it is certain that there have always
heen more learned men taking snuff thar
smoking. According to Doctor Jamei
Johnston 80 200, 600 of men smoke diff
ferent kinds of tobacco; 100000 smoke
opium and its compounds; 300,o 900 hemp
and basehisch, loo, 600 betel, and 10000

DIR. O. B. LIGRTHILLS first visit to
Ohio was inducedby numerous applications
for treatment from parties unable to visit
New York for that purpose, and who can
not be successfully treated except after 8
personal exsmin stion. His practice has
been so successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is almost as difficult for some
parties desiring his service, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
quest of many citizens, he has consented,
before returning to Europe, to visit several
central points in Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters SO that all who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years Dr.. Lighthill
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment of deafness and catarrh in its vsri-
GUS forms. He has prscticed in New York,
and other principal Eastern citise, where,
until a few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DR.. Z B Lighthill, and,
together they have acquired q standing
which has earned for the "Lighthill In.
stitute" It's present great reputation.

State They we're empowered by the
authorities to remove their effects, consist
ing of $3.50, 900 in specie, TO the capital of

twelve men, these gentlemen set cut upon
their return home, intending to take the
railroad to Chester, South Carolina.
At the end of the first days journey they
encsmped on the grounds Of Mrs. Morse,
eighteen miles from Washington snd three
from the Savannah river. The officers re.
tired, and the guard fell asleep. About
midnight, q party of twenty mounted msn,
who we're evidently aware of the value OF
The train, suddenly dashed upon If, and
the guard surrendered without firing gun

Some two hundred thousand dollars were
stolen, leaving about one hundred and

Of ths property. The robbers are sup

that in tie present demoralizsd state OF the
country the gentlemen in charge made no
secret of their valuable possessions, nor did
they use any extraordinary measures Ct
precaution TO preserve their property.

DR. LIGHTHILL-Desr Sir: Allow me to
express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered to my daugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly Affected
for many years, and for some. months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
loss of this important sense is certainly q
sad deprivati IN, painfully embarrassing,
and 70 a degree known only to those who
have experienced it. If, therefore, there
be q remedy for this great evil, the cause
of humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. 1 feel
it my duty, therefore, and it sffords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony to tho
happy effects of your treatment and reme-
dies. Mydsughter has suffered from deaf
ness since early childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseased. The right ear,
also, for several years, was seriously Affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss CT hearing. It
was with extreme difficulty that she could
participate in the conversation of her
friends, and for two years has been de-
pTived Of this source Of social enjoyment.
dappdy my HtSenbIon Was orected 70 your
advertisement, and l was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
care Of q kind ProVidenee, has been sue
eessfuL. Her hearing solar IS I can judge,
appears to be perfectly restored. Wheth-
or this restoration is permanent is a ques-
ton time alone can determine, but present
results are certainly very gratifying.
lam, dear sir,
Truly and gratefully yours,
