For two or three years past Mrs. Mary A. Hand
such, very respectable woman. forty years of age
and native OF this city, has been in poor health,
and at intervals partially deirious. On Saturday
she died suddenly, at No. 234 West Twcnty-fourth
street, after which two foolish and perhaps ma.
licious tenement house women circulated q re-
port TO the effect that Mrs. Handsuch had
been poisoned by one OF her relatives. These
police station and made circumstantlal report OF
the supposed poisoning, which was subsequently
sent to Coroner keenan,, who repaired to the house
and made an investigation. 1t was then learned
that the lady had died OF congestion OF the brain,
and that there was not the most remote reason for
the circulation OF a groundless and cruel report,
calculated to deeply wound the feelings OF mourn
ing relatives and friends.

GOLD DULL-11lss A 1l1ys

The gold market was unsettled on light amount
Of business, the speculative sentiment being at fault
rs to the effect OF the Treasury programme for June
BY very inverse process Of reasoning was at first
argued that the smaller purchases Of bonds would
occasion decline in them abroad and bring some
OF them home. On this idea gold opened at
l1l7s, but declined to lIlaS, reactlng finally
10 l1l7s. AS may be inferred, the bulk OF business
was at lllS The higher price since Saturday Is
also attributable to apprehension of more active
money In London, now that the civil war In France
seems coming to an end. The course OF the market

STOCKS MORE ACTIVE, But IRREGULAR.
The stock market was, until after midday, much
Of repetition OF its career Tor week past-that
4, three or four principal stocks were strong and
buoyant, the rest being irregular and generally
weak. Lake Shore, Reading and Rock Island
steadily advanced to the highest prices OF the
son, but everything was sub ected 10 q sudden aud
sharp decline in the afternoon By Washington
telegram, stating that Nj. Boutwell, nad taken the
question of the tax on the lew York Central scrip
dividend into his own hands and ordered It's imme-
aiate collection. The outsiders began to sell upon
this intelligence, and as the brokers were generally
Oiled with stop orders, the "oreak, was inens1-
Ted by the further sales originating in this
way. The cques, who are not IN q posi-
tion to permit the market 70 drift In
30 q panic, rushed TO the rescue and
rallied their specaltes back TO about the best points
OF the day. Rock Island tumbed from III 4 to HOY
but was carried up 10 III y again. Reading in the
same period, fell from 49, TO 1l7% and was raj
lied nearly one per cent before the close OF the day.
Lake Shore which had gone along quite SWIM
mingly 10 lis, was also oyertaken bv the shower,
and dropped 10 1875, but recovered 10 114h Pitts
burg had been weak from the beginning and at one
time declined TO 1le. Western Union was steadily
forced down o57ss before the general decline COM
menced, but held Its own afterwards New York
Central ialtered, but was taken LII hand, probably
by the Commodore's orders, with view TO defeat
those who speculated upon the Washington
despatch. Quite an active upward movement took
place In the coal stocks particularly In consolida
fson and american, which advanced about two per
cent.

THE TREASURY PROGRAMME.
The announcement OF the programme OF Treasury
operations for the month OF June was quietly le-
ceved considering the important deviation In 1t nom
those OF the current and preceding months. We
think the policy OF selling larger amount OF gold
In proportion to bond purchases step in the right
direction particularly at this season, Mr.. Boutwell,
will doubtless see the correctness OF the theory that
the success OF the new loan depends moro upon the
obllteraton OF the gold premium than upon the abb
normal process OF advancing government bonds by
forced purchases OF them in the open market The

Good hearing is requisite in every department of
life for the rapid interchange OF our thoughts
ideas and wants, and its loss or impairment is II
misfortune which makes itself felt at every step
and seriously nterferes with usefulness and sue
cess in all relations of life. 1t is the mildew to
fond hopes and aspirations and debars talent and
genius from reaping their Legitimate reward. The
inability of the fond mother to bear the anxiously
expected cry uttered by her newborn babe on its
entrance into the world of the afectionate child
to hear the dying request of a beloved parent,
must be a sad deprivation,
Diseases most destructive to hearing commence
very insdously, without pain, noises, or any other
symptoms calculated to alarm the patient Hear
ing becomes impaired so gradually that no disease
is suspected until the inability to hear common
conversation establishes the fact of Deafness.

DRs. LIGHTHILL 4 SMYTH
Dear Sirs Il wish to express my feelings of
gratitude to you for the complete restoration of
hearing to my son Harrison, - years old. At the
age of five he had scarlet fever, which left him quite
dull of hearing in both ears, which has been grad
ually growing upon him, until watch had to be
pressed to his ears for him to hear it at all His
tonsils have been more or less enlarged ever since
he had the scarlet fever, and closing up of the
Eustachian tube, (the passage connecting the
throat with the ear) which was the cause of his
deafness, the external ear being perfectly healthy
After so skillful an operation and perfect res
toration of hearing by the removal Of disease of
eight years standing. cheerully give you this tes-
tmonial to make whatever of it you please
Respectfully yours,
