Weha some WARM weather this
week, but the oyster boat arrived,
and the weather turned cold imme-
diately. This was done to keep the
oysters from spelling. Next week
the oysters will be all gone, and the
weather will turn warm again
Guess the weather clerk must have
an interest in "them ere oysters,
and just hired Capt. Rhodes to open
and sell them for him.

Doctor TOGiGl's Sermon Yestertla y Mornf fng To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 We who are attendants at the Church of the Redeemer have been treated for number of months of late by Dr. Todd to course of lectures on the life of St. Paul, Sunday after moons, and good as they are they by no means excel the sermons of the morning. Yester- day the reverend gentleman gave one of the best sermons delivered by him since the writ CT has sat under his preaching, from 1st Tim othy, 4th chapter, 14th verse, Neglect not the gift that is in thee" He began by say ing that the wild rose so commonly seen at this season of the year by every roadside has been reproduced by cultivation into over two thousand varieties, but if any of these were left to themselves they would soon become the same common flower they were formerly. And after giving many other illustrations of the benefits of cultivation in music painting, science and art, he proved most conclusively, and in a clear, convincing manner, gaining the atten- tion of every listener in the audience, that the same was equally true in religion as in matters of the world. First, that all cultiva- tion required effort, but, when it was made, the reward was abundant. Second, that we sare prone to neglect our power-for almost every child has at first to be forced to go to school against it's wish, but with growing years and continued study the love of learn ing and it's benefits come. Third, then neg. lect not the higher thoughts, for with them and their cultivation come the happiest and best thoughts of this life and the reward oi the hereafter. M c. s.

 Prepared to give his personal attention to the treatment and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and Diseases of the Throat Lungs and Ner- vous System.
 For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of those important ailments, and 1t is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which attended his efforts. Bis recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, rendering treat ment SO effectual that relief is experienced at once, and permanent cures are often effected in the most stubborn and aggravated cases ; and it is one of the happy features of his practice that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily admin istered to the most timid or nervons person. 4 candid opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of cure and no case will be accepted for treatment which does not pre- sent reasonable chance for success.
 In evidence of the success of his practice, Dr. Lighthill takes pleasure in submitting the following testimonials. A mass of similar credentials may be seen at his office.

The Mill River Flood.
The Sixth Anniversary Of That Terrible Disaster, and What has Been Done to RepIace the Loss.

The Sixth Anniversary Of That Terrible
 Disaster, and What has Been Done to
 Replace the Loss.
 Correspondence of the Springfield Republican,
 This is the sixth anniversary of that awful calamity of food and death remembered as the Mill River disaster. Who living in the valley at the time will ever forget that morn ing when the people of the heretofore peace ful valley were suddenly warned to flee from the destruction rushing upon them? The evidences in the mourning widows, the fatherless or motherless children, are still too wildly visible in this vicinity. Remember ing the nearly 150 human beings who were swept with scarcely moments warning into eternity, the millions of property whirled into destruction, the thrilling incidents, marvellous escapes and touching stories, the never-to-be-forgotten work of the heroes whose presence of mind and promptness of action saved so many, the spontaneous relief work, the loads of provisions, bundles of clothing, the half million in money, let us see whether or no the valley is still resting under the blight of misfortune and how much the hum of industry so suddenly checked, and by many thought to be lost beyond ress urrection, has been revived. After six year.

From the Rev. D. J. Clark.

Pastor Congregational Church, East Ha-
 ven, Conn.
 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lighthills success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben efcial that cheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lghthill per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Oul people may congratulate themselves on hay ing at their command the services of physi- elan so skillful as Dr. Lghthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

 Hartford, Conn.
 Hartford, Feb. II, 1880. Dr. E. B. Iighthill:
 Dear Sir-Prompted by feeling of justice to you and a sense of duty to the public, l take this method of expressing my grateful appreciation of the able and skillful manner in which you treated my wife for Catarrh. When placed her under your professional care she suffered so severely that she could scarcely obtain any rest at night, but your first application afforded decided relief and your subsequent treatment has proved per feet success In the course of my experience have seen a good deal of physicians and medical practice, but I must confess that your method of treatment for Catarrh is superior to anything that has yet come under my ob- servation, and in fact is so rational and efec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind.
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD

1 view of the subject, and refusing to yield to his sympathies in considering it. Anson Burlingame brilliantly acclaimed against him of liberty. MT. 0. c. Hazewell's action was more important. He was a member of the Massachusetts Senate at the time, and he drew up very able report on the subject of the Hungarian struggle in which he made an elaborate reply to Professor Bowen" If the charges now made that Kossuth was quite as much fraud as a patriot are as true as they seem to be Professor Bowen has his revenge
 Snake stories are played out with the Car son (Nev.) Appeal, or else some of the San Francisco spectators are bigger fools than they have hitherto been taken for.

 Hollister, under arrest in San Francisco for saloon TOW. In Hollisters room in San Francisco he found evidence that brought the prisoner to confess his plot based upon the idea of a similar one in the novel Count of Monte Christo and fathered by a number of San Francisco speculators In his room was found the following, written on a piece of foolscap ''At ten o'clock this morning tidal wave from the Pacific ocean swept over San Francisco, wiping out the entire city in ten minutes. It advanced inland and rose until the waters were ten feet deep in Sacramento and Stockton. Accompany ing this oceanic disturbancewa tremendous shock of earthquake, which was most severe ly felt at Virginia City. The mines on the Comstock are mass of ruins. No further particulars can be gained at present" He was going to date this at some mountain sta ton and telegraph it to the Associated Press What delayed him was the low state of the Wall street market-too low to create much of break, and he was waiting for boom in Pacific Mail and Sierra Nevadas Wall street is easily deceived, but it would hardly have swallowed that dispatch.
