To Mv Friends and the Public:
1t affords me great satisfaction TO be

press my sense of obligation to him.
My hearing had been impaired for
number of years, at times to such an exIen
as to embarrass me seriously. DR.. Light
hill, under whose care placed myself, has
removed the difficulty completely, and re-
stored me 10 perfect hearing.

A fund o. SllO, 255 paid to the United
States by Great Britain, in 1855, is re-
ported SIS still held for distribution. The
circumstances under which the fund was
created are as follows: Great Britain
for two years levied an export duty on
shipments Of w0olens TO the United
States, when none was charged on chip
meuts TO Portugal. This was violation
Of treaty. Attention was called to this
irregulsrity, and Great Britain made
restitution. The money was paid nearly
fourteen years ago., and, 1t is asserted,
has not yet been distributed among the
proper owners. The reason given is the
sbsence Of the list Of merchants entitled
90 the duties returned. The list, the
British Government asserts, Was sent
direct to the State Department. The
claimants, Il is probable, have died, and
their heirs are Unawsr Of the money to
which they are entitled, The United
Btstes Government, Ia order to procure
itself against sham representative Of
claims on the Treasury, does not furnish
information on such subjects.
The bank note circulation Of Great
Britain consists Of the notes Of the Bank
Of England, and Of such private and
Joint stOck banks Ia the United King
dom, out OF London, as still retain the
privilege Of issue. No LJndon bank has
that privilege. For the four weeks end
ing August Is, 1888, (the latest return,
the note circulstiOH Of the United KING
