DR. LIGHTHIL-Dear Sir: Allow me TO
express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered to my daugh-
ter, whose cara have been badly affected
for many yesrs, and for some.months past
has been nearly deprived of bearing. The
loss of this important sense is certainly q
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and TO a degree known only to those who
have experienced it. If therefore, there
be 8 remedy for this great evil, the cause
Of humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. I feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony to the
hRppy elects of YouF tneatmentRndzR1mo-
dies. Ny daughter has suffered from deal
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 l was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
care of a kind Providence, has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, Solar IS 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.
lam, dear Sir,
Truly and gratefully yours,

"". a. EoDAudAy A1sAt 4Ob1s
DEAR SIR:-I take much pleasure In
informing you that my daughter is much
better of her deafness under your treat
ment. She hsd the scarlet fever when five
years of age, which left her hearing seri
ously impaired, which seemed also to be
settling down into permanent, and, as we
much feared, perfect and ineursble deaf
ness.
We were not little fearful and unbe-
lieving in any efforts to cure Tho case, hav-
ing previously applied to other physicians
without success. But under your treat
ment we soon found evidence of decided
improvement. The offensive discharge
soon changed and indicated a healthy
healing process. We are yet making use
of your prescription, and we hope you will
not fail to visit these parts again soon, IS
several Of my friends are anxious to see
the good Samaritan, that they may obtain
q little of the oil of consolation Tor them
selves. Respectfully yours,
M. ROBERTS.

OF course everybody has seen through
the fimsy pretence which the Democratic
pross Of the North have made of falling in
love with everything which President
johnson hiss said and done. The Copper
heads somehow got an idea into their heads
that the President had q natural leaning
in their direction, Rnd that he only needed
a few honeyed words to bring him over
completely to their embraces. How in the
world they ever conceived that this was pos
sible is hard to imagine, but certain 1t is
that to this end they have lent al their
energies, swallowing acts of President
Johnson's, which, when doneby President
Lincol0, they cried ont sgsinst as arbitrary
and despotic, and prsising with enthusiasm
8 course Of conduct which in former years
had always called forth their seyerest de-
n~unciatiOns.
Union men have been greatly amused at
this abortive effort of the OopPerhesds to
make q proselyte out Of Andy johnson.
We say abortive, because it is already evil
dent that they are giving it up in disgust.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, which has made
il point to praise everything that the
President has lone since his Inauguration,
begins to resume its chronic habit Of grum-
bling at the Administration. Here sre 8
few specimens of its recent snArls:

It was difficult to believe, by a large body
Of the people, that, in this age of c%ivilizs-
tion, q woman would be executed, and the
ides was prevalent that the sentence would
be commuted st the last moment. There
will be great establishment that the extreme
sentence was carried out.
As this execution was conducted under
the direct orders of President johnson

The great beams were darted against the

with a slam. The four bodies dropped like

THE EXTERIOR EPISODES.

As usual in such executions, there were
many stirring outside episodes, and much
shrewd mixture of tragedy and business.
A photographer took note of the scene in
all its phases, from 8 window of q portion
of the jail. Six artists were present, and
thirty-seven special correspondents, who
came to Washington only for this &C.

In fact all the mechanical preparations
were clumsy and inartistic, and the final
scenes of the execution, therefore revolving
in the extreme. When the .death-cspa
were all drawn over the faces of the pris-

suspense between absolute life and imms-
