The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette gives the following funny account
of the doings of the students of Oxford
University:
On Wednesday last we got a glimpse of
the highly moral aud religious standard
prevailing among the tender Oxonisn
babes. Il was COmmemoration dsy-i' g.
the exercises are held was crowded as
usual and the pious babes yelled, and
yelled loud enough to drown all of the
speeches. They began by cheering Lord
Derby, the Tory leader. SO him
they appropriately gave three cheers for
JEFF. Davis, followed by q storm OF groans
for President johnson; then there
was tremendous cheering for General
Lee. Then the wsnton yelling st the ladies
present, and the Professors-grosning those
they did not like. The theatre was 8 bear
garden for two hours. Three Indian princes
were present, ana looked on in calm won
der at this exhibition of the manner and
morals prevailing ct the great seat of piety
and learning. They must carry back Curl
GUS ideas of the results of civilization. The
Times gently remarks that 'the conduct of
the undergraduates, if not all that could be
wished, was at least q great improvement
on recent years."
These students are mostly sprigs of the
nobility. 1t is a great pity that their
noble blooded mama were not present to
spank the noble seats Of honor Of the
noble scions, and thus make them behave
as decentlyas our pspOOses and picaninries.

-ASsSaAz have been badly affected
for many years, and for someimonths past
has been nearly deprived Of hearing. The
loss of this important sense is certainly q
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and 70 s 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. l feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords mi
much pleasure, to give my testimony TO the
happy effects of your treatment n 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 Of hearing. 1t
was with extreme difficulty that she could
participate in the conversation OF her
friends, and for two years has been de-
prived of this source of social enjoyment
Happily my attention was directed to your
advertisement and 1 was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
care of q kind Providence, has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, solar as l can judge,
appears to,be perfectly restored. Wheth-
er this restoration is permanent is q ques-
ton time alone can determine but present
results are certainly very gratifying.

Big Lick, seven miles east of Salem, in
Roanoke county. The bridges over and
along the line Of the road mostly spproxi-
mate 70 the Roanoke, the main stream of
which is crossed three times by the rail-
road, and the south branch of the river
once, are not finished. The bridge over
New River, on the line of Pulaski and
Mercer counties, Is completed. We under
stand also that the rosd is in running or
der from Bristol to Marion, in Smyth
county, and Wytheville. These repairs, it
Is said, can be effected in from three to four
weeks, when the road will be entirely open
from Lynchburgh to Bristol.
This re. ion of country has been the

city of Richmond, and the re-opening of
this avenue Of trade will be gratifying to
