Dear Sir-In answer to your inquiries
concerning my deafness, | am happy to
say that | have very much improved since
placing myself under your care. Last
June, when | came TO You, 1t was almost
impossible to make me hear ut all. had
been under the care, too, of one Of the
best aurists in New York City, DR.. Ag-
new, and while his treatment of my case
was similar to yours, | experienced no
relief whatever until you took hold of my
case. The thoroughness Of your treat
ment l think is the secret of your success
at least it seems so in my case. My
throat, which has been intiamed for Il
long time, and, doubtless, was the start
ing point of my deafness, caused by diph-
iberia some years ago, has quite passed
away, and can hear fifty per cent. better
than when came to you in June.
Hoping you may find it to your advant-
age to return to Windsor again soon, and
with kindest regards and best wishes fol
your welfare, am
Sincerely your friend,
GEO. f. DAVIS.

CHESTER, VI, Dec. IS, 1876.


EDITOR OF TIE AGE:
In your last issue under the head
inc of Chester, / read an item relat-
inc to the late conviction of James
Sullivan, George Wood and Joseph
Ketchic, for lntoxication, and stating
that "upon the examination Of these
men it appeared fully that the bever-
age was obtained of George d. Bar
ton, the licensed agent of the town OF
Chester" Would it not have been at
least fair for the writer of that article
to have added, "and 1t appeared fully
in each instance that the beverage was
obtained by false pretences." In the
case of Sullivan and Wood it APP
peared that Wood wanted the liquor
but dared not apply himself because
Mr.. Barton knew him and his habits
and would not let him have any under
any circumstances, and hence w God
hired Sullivan to 60 for him, and Sui
livan, who was comparative strang.
er, went to the agency limplng, and
claimed to have hurt his leg and
wanted some alchohol to battle it with,
which was sold him in good faith as
any other agent would have sold alco-
hol to an apparently lame man, not
reasonably suspectlng that it was fol
the purpose of his and another mans
drink in each case the beverage was
obtained by false pretences, and the
men convicted and fined therefor
These are the facts. The writer here
of has no interest in the agency or The
agent; don't care whether the agency
is is at Gassetts, Bartonsvi'lc or Mount
Tabor, but deems it 1air 10 Mr. Barton
as to any other man, that the whole
fact be stated JAMES.

TO THE PUBLIC
Knowing Of the strong prejudice exist
ing in the public mind, generally, against
medical specialists who advertise their
profession, I wish to recommend DR.. S.
w. Sihyth Of Burlington, as physician
and surgeon worthy of the public con-
dencc. DR.. Smyth became known to me
as q skiful specialist through the Right
Rev. Louis De Gocsbriand, Bishop Of
Burlington. | therefore recommend 10
the doctors care Flora Jarvis, aged ~
years, daughter of Peter Jarvis of Wind
sor, who had suffered with graduated
cyclids and opacity of the cOrnea for many
years, in fact she had suffered more or
less from infancy, and much Of the time
had to be kept in a dark room. Flora
was placed under the care of DR.. Smyth
last June, and, through his skillful treat
mcnt, her sight is perfectly restored, and
her eyes give her no further trouble, al
though she mas suffered from severe colds
since the cure was effected.

THE BANK K-oBBERY.-Boston, January 81
gagged the cashier and closely guarded him for
four hours, compelled him to give up TO them
the combination of the safe vault, and then
waited till they knew the night Waterman had
gone home then getting into the vault and safe
with only one of the four keys needed, they
took a large amount of ~sureties. An expert had
to be summoned from New York, and the lock
was not opened until this morning. Cashier
Whittlesey. when asked to give three combine
tions to the vault for the inner, outer and chest
doors. gave them wrong twice and thrice, but
the burglars wrote them down and made him
repeat them. OF course they caught him in the
attempt to mislead them, and the exhibition of
9 pistol compelled him to tell the truth, though
he had given them to understand that the four
keys necessary to open the patent lock could not
be had, as three Of them were at the house Of
the other bank officers. At 4 O'Clock in the
morning Whittlesey was taken to a down stairs
bed room, and the whole family were gagged,
and four Of the burglars withdrew to operate on
the bank. Three hours after Mrs. Whittlesey
succeeded in freeing herself and giving the
alarm from the window. The whole party were
speedily liberated. and the cashier, still wearing
the handouts, went to the bank. A clever work
man soon after fitted a key and all the persons
handcufed were released.

UNUSUAL SPECTACLE. - The Truckee
Republican says: One of the incidents of
the late storm worthy of note is that the
snow pillow had to run to Colfax. There
was fifteen inches of snow on the track.
and Superintendent Nate Webb received
orders to clear the way. The pillow GER
tainly had never run SO far, because the
platform at the Colfax depot projects too
far to allow her to pass. Unused to be-
ing impeded in her onward course, the
old pillow deliberately ripped up the plat
form as she went. Dennis McCarty,
who was standing oil the platform, had
urgent business out scross the Narrow
Gauge. Others who had been standing
close by watching the unusual spectacle
OF a moving snow pillow, scattered helter-
skelter.
