GENTLEMEN: DR.. LIGHTHILL expects TO
visit your city soon, and for the benefit Of
the suffering wish to say, through you,
TO your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DR..
Liglthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded bv skill. science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DIR. Llghthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in
stance. Iplaced under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchm, of McLemoresville, Tenn. She
had been suffering from a child with a
rising in the head. which had for years
emitted through the ear a very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the CONN.,
try and had bafled the skill all. DR..
Lighihill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies al
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still coatin1es in excellent health
It may be proper to state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DR.. LighthilPs treat
ment she was unable to walk and, as her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your ex-
tensivs acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
them to Or. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,
E. A. COLLINS.

Now york pry Goods sIarket.

New YoRK, Feb. 25.-The market for
cotton fabrics continues to be controlled al
most exclusively by the cotton market, and
prices advance or decline in almost exact
proportion to the fuctuation OF cotton.
Since the writing of our last weekly review
cotton has fallen considerably, and as a
natural consequence cotton goods have like
wise materially declined. Standard sheet
ings and shirtings have ruled compare
lively firm, however, owing to the paucity
Of supply and to the fact that they can not
be replaced with profit at the present
valuation Of cotton-the cost of production,
With cotton at its present figure, being
about equal to the current prices of fabrics.
Holders therefore are not at all anxious to
sell at current prices, but almost every
thing else has fallen materially, prints TAX
ing the lead, they having declined from 1c
to &c per yard, and that, too, without lead
Ing to an active business. Since the cotton
market has become more steady there has
been more apparent inclination to take
hold; but the movement is the result of an
apprehended advance in cotton, though any
advance of moment ia not reckoned at all
probable. Buyers are apparently very in
different about making their purchases,
and the season promises to be backward.
There appears to be q most determined
effort TO force prices down still further; but
this will depend more upon the course Of
the cotton market than upon any action or
inaction on the part of buyers. As we
30 frequently remarked, cotton regulates
the goods market nova days, and in this
respect Is more skiing" than it ever was.
Despite the inactivity Of the market the
accumulation of goods is pretty slow,
and there is no superabundance Of any de-
scription of goods, while some departments
are in light supply and would now run out
should the demand become in any wise
active.
Though there is some stir 10 some de-
partments, and considerable doing at few
of the leading houses, the general trade is
very dull and very unsatisfactory. In
nearly all cases prices are unsatisfactory
and in some they are wholly nominal.
Our table of quotations annexed shows a
good many important changes.
Annexed are the current quotations for
the leading kinds of goods:
