DRs. LIGHrnlLL i SMYTH-Dear Sirs | TAKE
pleasure in stating that during the last weeks l

for which | had tried many kinds Of remedies
without avail, seems to be rapidly becoming re-
moved. | cannot too highly recommended your
careful and skilful treatment.
would state also that my wife, who has been
under your treatment for the same length of time
for partial deafness of long standing, joins with
me in expressing her appreciation of your care
fulness and skill in the treatment of her case. At
/ the present time, the symptoms quite plainly in
dictate a substantial and permanent benefit, if not
perfect and complete cure.
! Feeling perfectly confident that those similarly
troubled. if they apply to you, will not find them
selves deceived and defrauded, but honestly adj
vsed, and professionally treated with intelligence
and skill, | make this statement in regard to my
own experience with entire checrfuness.
Yours truly,
HENRY BALLARD.
RECENT CONFIRMATION. Burlington, Feb

England-Thc Army Purchase System.

LONDON, July 20. In the house Of
Commons this evening Mr.. Gladstone an.
nounced that the Qqeen had solved the
purchase problem by canceling the Royal
warrant legalizing the purchase Of COM
missions in the army. lie declared that
the House of Lords, though impugnine
the Government plan for its abolition, had
failed to sustain the purchase system
hence the Ministers had advised her Ma
jesty to take the action which effectually
disposed of the question in accordance
with the manifest will of the country.
This declaration was received with We
hement cheering in the House, but Dis
raeli and the Tory members were unable
to dissemble their anger, and bitterly de
nounced the arbitrary course of the Gov
eminent. Gladstone was defiant, ant
challenged the opposition to move vot'
of the want of confidence.
Earl Granville, in the House Of Lords
announced the determination of the min
istry, and defended their policy. 1t i
impossible to depict the scene in eithe
House on the announcement Of the fat
of the purchase system. The Lords wer
deeply moved but decorous in their dem

The Tories were COMPOUNDED and thei
leaders puzzled to suggest what actio

Standard Of yesterday and to-day, tn
opinion Of all is that the action of tn
ministry is bold and even desperate, ant
the popular feeling is led to anticipat
far-reaching consequences in dcmocrati

LUMBER ON LAKE CHAMpLAIN.-It is
estimated that one hundred and seventy
five millions of feet of lumber come out
of Canada and pass the Custom House at
Rouse's Point every season. 1t is towed
in barges by steam tugs, and not unfre-
quently three or four of these boats, with
eight or nine lumber boats attached, are
in sight at one time. The lumber most
ly comes from the Ottawa region. and has
to pass through one or two canals and the
Ottawa, St. Lawrence and Richelieu
Rivers before reaching Champlain, where
it is deposited at the immense lumber
yards at Burlington. Rouses Point, and
other places on the lake, and from there
distributed all over the country by rail
and other conveyance. This traffic in
lumber is every year increasing. The
Champlain U. S. Custom District reaches
from Plattsburgh, on the Lake, to Malone
on the northern borders but full seven.
eighths of the Custom receipts are taken
at the lake port of Rouse's Point Dur.

on imports passing this port amount to

the site is attracting the attention of Other
capitalists, who are moving to transfer

Esy- Some parties who are interested in
keeping people from going to the Yakima
valley, w. r., to settle, have informed the
O~gonian published at Portland, Oregon,
that the Indians at Priests Rapids are
about to break out and make trouble. A
rumor similar to this was gotten up last
Spring for the same purpose and succeeded
in running off number OF new corners
and keeping out a number that otherwise
intended to settle in that section of coun-
try. People looking for pastures for their
herds should pay no attention to these
foolish rumors, but go on about their bust
ness and locate just where they please.
When the Indians intend starting out on
the war path they don't generally go and
tell it to individuals engaged in stock rails
ing; but usually 90 to work in business
like manner and kill all their friends first.
Strangers therefore need not fear for they
will receive timely warning. The Indians
on the south side of the Columbia river
are all quiet and as their numbers are
now very small, thanks to General Crook,
they will never make any more trouble,
except among the politicians, who arc so
anxou; to take care Of them for 81 800 a
