In MEMoRIAM.-The death of Joseph P.
Somerby, son of Samuel W. and Sarah Somer-
by of this city, on the 21st ultimo, deserves
more than passing notice. He was young
man 20 years of age of excellent moral princi-
pies and good business habits. Brought up to
the machinery business, he, during the war, ex-
pressed desire to have employment in some
one Of the government steamers employed in
the naval service. He started as fireman, but
was soon promoted to be Sd engineer, and in
that situation served on board the "Fort Nor
gan" at New Orleans and the "Itasca" at Mo-
bile Bay, receiving the commentators of
his superiors for his abilities as an officer and
for his conduct as gentleman.
At home, he gathered around him large
circle Of acquaintances by whom he was be-
loved and who mourn the death of their friend
and companion.

Misunderstanding Hall was quite well
filled last evening-the galleries and parquette
crowded-at the first opening of Messrs. Wins
low & Co.'s Dramatic Company. None of the
members of this company have ever appeared
before on the Portland boards, but they made
good impression, and we predict for them in
creasing houses, made up from our best circles.
The playing as whole was excellent: some of
the parts were admirably sustained, and the
closing farce was one of the best and most
laughable we have ever witnessed. We will
not discriminate where all did so well. Our
city has seldom been visited by more talent
ed company. 6
e. One thing we commend particularly; they
commenced on time and closed in good season,
and from beginning to end maintained good
order. The orchestra was first rate. If the
proprietors of the hall will expend "quarter"
in beating the carpet some windy day, they
will save cloud of dust and many unpleasant
remarks by the audience, when occasion de-
mands that it should be spread upon the floor.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE,
Letter to Hon. 8. S..Warner from J. NJ.
LanEstOu, Esq.

OBERLIE, July Is, 1865.
Honorable Sidney s. Warner, Wellington,
Ohio:
DEAR SIR:-The time has come in the
history of this State 9nd nation, when the
friends of the negro, IS well as the friends
of the country, should cast their votes with
sincerity and intelligence. No patriot can
now properly discharge his duty in the use
of the ballot without fully understanding
the position of the candidate for whom he
votes, with reference to Negro Suffrage.
It must be evident to every one we'll read
in our State and national affairs, that sound
policy as well as %justiee requires that not
only the negro of the South, but the negro
Of the North, should have the untrammeled
use of the elective franchise.
drop you this line in behalf Of very
many earnest and patriotic men, who, snx-
GUS to support all the candidates put in
nomination by the late Republican Con-
vention held in the city of Columbus, have
made up their minds that they will vote
for no man who is not in favor of the re-
peal Of the Blsck Laws Of the State, and
in favor of giving to the Negro, North and
South, the privilege of voting, and that too,
without unreasonable delay, and upon the
same conditions on which white men vote.
Upon the considerations which lead Us to
the adoption of this line Of policy, 1 need
not expatiAte, st this time, and in this con-
neetion. They will suggest themselves, at
once, to the mind of every intelligent and
earnest person.
2 We have never had an expression of
your views on this subject TO my know
ledge, and therefore, We respectfully ask
such expression with reference to it.
With sentiments of very high regard, I
have the honor to be-
Your most obedient servant. h 7s.

express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered 10 my daugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for sometmonths past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
loss of this important sense is certainly 8
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and 70 q degree known only to those who
have experienced it. If, therefore, there
be a remedy for this great evil, the cause
OF humanity obviously requires that it
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony to the
happy effects of your treatment and reme-
dies. Mydaughter 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. IL
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 I was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
care of q kind Providence, has been sue
eessful. Her hearing, 50 far as 1 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.

Truly and gratefully yours,

Crop Statistics.

An exhibit Of the condition of the crops
in thirty.tbree counties in Indiana shows
that, with the exception Of wheat, they
have generally done finely. There was
promise of q bountiful harvest of wheat,
but the weeyil, the rust and smut hsvedis-
PEELED that. The hay and rye crops are
heavy, and harvested in good condition.
Corn, OATS and potatoes promise an album
dsnt yield.
The crops in West Tennessee are report
ed universally nue. The yield of wheat
was more than an average one. Oats have
been harvested and the crop is heavier than
for msny years. Corn is coming on finely,
and cotton looks as promising as the plant
or can dgsire. The country abounds in all
kinds of fruit peaches and apples in par
ticulAr. The only want felt among the
planters is labor.
The farmers of Northwest Missouri are
now engaged in harvesting their wheat, and
the yield has surpassed their most sanguine
expectations. The corn crop is in q -four
ishing condition in that region. In North
east Missouri the wheat yield is light the
crop having been injured by the excessive
wet weather. :,

State Normal School, Albany n. 2.
DR.. LIGHTHmL-DeGT Sir: Under date
of March IA, 1 sent you careful statement
Of my case, my former treatment, my fail
ure to obtain relief In that direction, my
resort TO your treatment and its beneficial
results.
1 have been, from the winter ofthe year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
Of catarrh, marked by febrile syptoms, VIC
lent Inflammation of the lining n embranes
of the cavities of the head, accompaniment
the first stages by q watery discharge from
the nose, subsequently becoming acrid and
yellow and towards the close of the attack
purient and bloody. These attacks pro-
duced a most distressing species of head
ache, occurring periodically each day for a
period varying from one 10 three weeks
sometimes 30 violent as TO incspsciate me
for business, and conlne M TO my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend to the teeth, produce toothache, or
partial loss of voice; and twice within the
last few years it hss 30 affected the right
eye as TO confne me for weeks to 8 dark
ened room.
had tried medicines and applications
Of various kinds; snuffs aud other catarrh.
al preparations Of soma half 3 dozen kinds
applications TO the head of camphor,
ginger and hot fermentation of different
kinds; and in connection with these the
usual emetics and cathartics employed TO
induce counter action. But none of these
had produced any permanent improve
ment, and In the few instances in which
temporal relief was afforded, it was at the
expense Of so much strength as TO leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstances / was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed i~ncursbility
Of the disease TO make q trial of vour
treatment. l found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease IS It had
never been reached before, and alternating
its symptoms to al extent which I had
supposed impossible. At the time when 1
gave you my former certificate, while l
did not feel assured Of q complete cure /
had obtained amsterislre relief which smplv
repaid me for nay trial of your treatment
and which satisfied me that that treatment
was as effective as it was simple and nbiIo.
sophicsL. A substantial escape from NV
OLD ATTACKS OF catarrh, for the almost un.
precedented period of nearly half a wear
and that in spite of severe attacks Of IN.
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was, to me-,
proof OF an important success. II il now
SIX months since l sent you that statement
and while 1t Is unpleasant for me 10 appear
thus constantly, and in this guisa before
the public, it seems to me 9 matter of SIM
pie justice to yourself and to those Whe
may be suffering as l was, to add that 1 !
am not only as fully satisfied as TO the utiI-
ny and efficacy of your treatment of ca
tarrn as l was Six months ago. but 1 am
now OF the belief that if there is such a
thlng as a cure for CHRONIC CATARRH. in
my case 3 substantial cure has BEN effect

February 24th, 1864.
DEAR SRI take much pleasure in
informing you that my daughter is much
better of her deafness under your treat
ment. She had the scarlet fever when five
years of age, which LETT her hearing seri
ously impaired, which seemed also to be
settling down into permanent, and, as we
much feared, perfect and incurable deaf
ness
We we're not a little fearful and unbe-
lieving in any efforts to cure the case, nav
ing previously spilled 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, as
several of my friends are anxious to see
the good Samaritan, that they may obtain
q little of the oil of consolation for them
selves. Respectfully yours,
