surrounded by fashionable residences, and within
few moments walk of our most prominent bust
ness thoroughfare makes itconvenient for persons
visiting the city on business, and attractive for
those who come for pleasure. My rooms are large
and comfortable, and my tables will compare IA
vorably with that Of any Hotel in the State. With
the improvements have made, conducive to the
health and comfort of my visitors, and intending
to devote my entire attention to them, feel as
sared that the House will be sustained upon its

! Having been fourteen months Resident Physi-
clan Of the Wills Hospital for diseases of the Eye
in the city of Philadelphia. the Oldest and most
celebrated Institution Of the kind in the United
States, he hatters himself he will be able to give
entire satisfaction to all who may consult him.
| He has had ten years experience in the treat
ment of Diseases of the Eye, since leaving the
| Wills Hospital, and knows, from actual expert
ence that he can Treat Successfully al Diseases
of the Eye that are Durable, and nearly all are,
whether requiring
MEDICAL OR SURGICAL AID.
The public. are aware that Physicians general
II pay but little attention to diseases of the Eye,
having never had the opportunity or time to ae-
quire thorough theoretical and practical knowl-
edge Of this class Of Diseases and consequently,
they cannot be expected to treat them as satisfac-
torily as one who has had both.
am well aware Of the objections in the popu-
lar mind TO advertising, because this hos been
heretofore practiced by foreigners and pretend
ers in Science, whose only object has been to de-
ceive and humbug-but, as native OF this coun-
y, we'll known to most Of the citizens, with ann
. knowledge Of
OPHTHALMIC DISEASES.
and enlarged experience in treating Eye Diseases
PRACTICALLY, I think can demonstrate my fitness
for this speciality to all who may extend to me
their patronage. Persons afflicted with
DISEASES OF THE EYE,
of long standing, and who have been subjected to
various modes Of treatment WITHOUT RELIEF,
should not be discouraged, as it often happens
that those cases having been sadly neglected or
badly treated are
MOST READILY AND RAPIDLY CURED,
although it must be admitted, as a general rule,
the longer the duration of diseased condition,
the longer the time required for its eradication.
It is needless to speak of the value Of sight
those only can properly estimate its advantages
who are unfortunately deprived Of it.
REMEMBER, there are some in every commune
ty, and many in the Blind Institution of this
place, who have been either partially or totally
deprived Of their sight on account Of delayed
or unskillfu treatment.
H Artificial Eyes furnished and Inserted on
reasonable terms.

pared to remain at least whle if it is consider
ed necessary in order to treat their cases success

THE DEATH OF SUMMER.

By the length'ning twilight hours,
By the chill and fragrant showers,
By the aow'rets pale and faded,
By the leaves with russell shaded,
BY the gray and clouded morn,
By the dropping years of corn;
By the meadows overspread
With the spiders wavy thread;
By the soft and shadowy sky;
By the thousand tears that lie
Every weeping bough beneath,
Summer, we perceive thy death;
Summer. all thy charms are past;
Summer, thou art wasting fast;
Scarcely one of all thy rsses Ns
On thy faded browreposes. i9ys
Thrush and nightingale have long
Ceased to WOO thee with their song,
And on every lonely height
Swallows gather for their fight;
While the wild winds dreary tone,
Sweeping through the valleys lone,
Sadly sighs, with mournful breath,
Rsquiems for sweet Summers death

notice will be dealt with according to law.
To well disposed persons mere suggestion as
regards hunting would seem to be sufficient, since,
it is well known that the occupants Of those
grounds are for the most part persons, who cam
not hear, and cannot see, whose freedom on the
grounds is of course largely curtailed by those
acting thoughtlessly in this matter.
1t is, moreover, respectfully asked that the
drivers of fast horses win rein them up little on
the road around the buildings, to give the deaf

CHARLESTON, April 23, 1868.
To the Editors of the Ne,rs:
Allow me to call attention through the col
umns Of your paper, to the great facilities and
cheap rates of freight and passage now offered
between this city, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York, and especially between Baltimore
and Charleston.
Arrangements are now in full operation by the
several railway lines by which goods can leave
New York daily about 6 o'clock P. NJ, from
Pier No. North River, by steamer to Amboy,
thence in the same cars to Crisheld on the
Chesapeake Bay, then by steam ferry to Ports
mouth, and in same cars to wilmington, North
Carolina, thence in the same cars to Charleston,
eight hundred miles in less than sixty hours;
and thus every day III the week except Sunday
From Philadelphia the time is ten hours less
From Baltimore goods Leaving at 4 Z. NJ;
reach Wilmington in thlrty-sl1 hours and
Charleston in forty-eieht hours.
The charge from New York on dry goods
first CLASSY is 81 65 per 100 pounds; from Phila-
delphia to Charleston charge on dry goods
(first class) is 81 IS per 100 pounds, and from
baltimore to Charleston the rate on the same
class Of goods is 81 10 per 100 pounds On the
other three classes the rates are proportion
ately less, and these rates cover the '7Sk as
common carrier" all the way: No insurance
needed, as the whole line is jointly responsible
Now, let us see how the cost on valuable
goods compare with steamers rates: First
class goods are valued at an average OF g to
the 100 pounds; second class goods at about
81 to the 100 pounds. Insurance to this port
from either Of the cities referred to is not less
than one per cent Now, it will not take ouI
merchants very long time to discover that hat
they are paying one or two dollars Per lVl
pounds, by way OF insurance, in addition to
the sea freight is cents to 81 per 100 pOundsl
pay charges and risk from Baltimore. Phila.
delphia or New York to Charleston on tirst
class goods, and twenty per cent less ON second
class, and other classes still lower.
First class passage to New York s26, Phila-
delphia s24, and Baltimore s22.

to above can be obtained at the office OF the
