 BY THE MAYOR OF ALBANY, NY.
DELEvAN HOUSE, ALBANY, N. Y. May q, 1868.

May !, 1868. Dr. c. B. Lighthill-Dear Sir:-I deem 1t but an act of justice to yourself, humane act to the afflicted and great pleasure to my self, to, in this manner certify to your pTo fessional skill in not only treating me, but many others in this yi.inity personally known ] to me.
 For over twenty years I have been afflicted with the catarrh to that extent that my throat became irritated and a severe cough ensued, which seriously threatened an affection of the throat and lungs. My sleep was unrefreshing and uncomfortable on account of being oblig- ed to breath through my mouth. This wac al- so the case during the day, when troubled with slight cold. At times could not sleep at all, except in a sitting posture, and could not for moment breathe, while lying on my left side.
 had been under the care of eminent phy- sicians, so called, in New York and other cit ies, but without receiving any benefit whateV- CT. About four years ago, like e drowning man catching at every straw in hope of succor, applied to you for advice and treatment. but with very little hope of relief; but to my as- tonishment received a great deal of relief; from my first operation my head was relieved.
 Following strictly your directions. very soon my difficulty of breathing through my nostrils was entirely removed. I was able to sleep com fortably in any position; and breathe as free and naturally through my nostrils as ever. My throat irritation passed away, and my health is fully restored.
 To all persons afflicted with Catarrh or Throat Complaints, confidently recommend Dr, Lighthilps skill and manner of treat ment.

Federation of Mr. Hoar.

The resignation of Attorney Genera Hoar takes everyone by surprise, although it has been long known that he was desi rous of leaving the Cabinet. We greatly regret his retirement. Although not g popular man. he was an able and homes, one. and exactly suited to the place. The caass of his unpopularity in Congress, was one of his greatest merits. He had no idea of yielding to the de- mands of politicians for places fol thsir immediate adherents, and hil tseatment of such as came on errands oi that kind was such as did not encourage them to repeat their visits.
 Mr. Hoaris successor, Amos T. Acker. nan, of Georgia, seems to be an able and honest man, and one of the genuine SC re. constructed" He is not connected with tho Bullock or any other political ssring, ' bus we jndge he is as fit 8 man for the place as could easily be found in the Southern States. He is of Northern birth, vas Union man as long as there were any UniOn men in Georgia; and, since the vsr, has frankly accepted the situation. Senator Wilson. and others. had recon mended him for the U. s. Supreme Court, and Mr. Dawes asked a Circuit iudgship for him. , -t s- ~
 In this. as in most of his other Cabinet appointments, the President has not sought 30 much men of political promi- nence, as men upon whose integrity and ability he feels that he can depend.

b@ The Annual Episcopal Convention of this Diocese met at Hartford, last week. MT. Richardson, who made the opening sermon, paid his respects to ritualism, to those who attempt to overthrow the spir- itual position of woman" to the "preva. lent spirit of worldliness." &c., &c. Ii Mr. Richardson teaches that the degraded position woman held in Scripture times, is the position assigned her by God, for all time, his theory is utterly untenable.

A9 It is reported in many of our religious pa- pers, that the congregation of the Center Church of New Haven, is the wealthiest in New England. -EE.
 The foregoing is probably intended as a suggestion that the Centre Church, in its present perilous condition, stands in need of the prayers of brethren who are not ex- posed to the same temptation.

FAT MEN.-The Senate passed the bill incorporating the Fat Men, but the House could not be persuaded it was not joke, and voted it down. The size of the pro- posed corporation is against it. With the New York and New Haven, the Air Line, and the Hartford and New Haven rail. roads, and numerous other great corpora tions, sitting heavy on the State, it is thought that we are hardly in condition to bear up under the Fat Men, also.

RAILROAD CoNsoLDATIoN.-We should judge from the look of business, that the railroads have it all their own way in the Legislature. this year. There is bill pending which allows consolidation. This is an old scheme, but we must own that the measure has never seemed so objec. tionable to us as to most opponents of railroad monopoly. A Free Railroad Law is our greatest need, but existing compa. nies and the Third House are evidently too strong to allow any such bill to pass

aS The negro cadets sent to West Point, have rather hard time of it at that aristocratic institution. The fact is that the whole system of army and navy school appointments should be changed to the competitive system. Then the present system of favoritism would be at an end. and negro or white would .get appoint ments by merit alone.

 We would call especial notice to the following gathering at Dr. Fowler's.
 w.
 In consideration of the long, arduous, and often gratuitous services of Dr. Remus Fowler, of Washington, his friends in all parts of Litchield County, are invited to participate in social gathering beneath the trees of Parsonage Lane near his resi- dence, to present him with S such testimonials of appreciation as they may deem proper, and to partake of a basket collation. (of their own providing), on Wednesday, June 29. If any of his friends are unable to be pres ent at that time, it is presumed that his Pastor and nearest neighbor. Rev. Willis Colton, will be happy to receive and trans fer to the Doctor any offering he may receive for that purpose, either by letter or otherwise. Should the weather not be propitious, arrangements will be made to adjourn the pic-n1c to Farmers Hall. Will the Dr. s friends who may see this notice, give as general circulation as possible? It is hoped by some of the Washington friends that the aggregate of the cash testimonials may be sufficient to replace the horse worn out in the public service, with good fresh one. [CoM.
 The poorest paid and hardest worked of our professional men is the country physi- clan; and no country physician has ren- dered harder or longer service than Dr.. Fowler. We hope the public will do their duty in this case.-ED. ENol
