From MT. Richard Case, of Canton,
 CODu,
D. A. ROOD.

For the past twenty years I was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to such an extent as to make my life a misery. would wake up at night with 8 sense of suf- location, as though some one was strangling me, expecting every moment to be my last. My suffering was so severe that I was afraid to go to bed, and often did not dare to. Ten years ago my hearing became also impaired from the effects of catarrh and gradually grew so bad that of late it was quite difficult for me to hear. Two months ago I placed myself under Dr. Lghthills care, and the re- suit of his treatment has been truly wonder full The trouble in my throat is completely removed, I sleep and breathe as comfortably as baby, my hearing Is restored, and my health has so much inn proved that I feel like a new man. In fact such a change for the better has been wrought in my case that thank God daily from the bottom of my heart for bringing Dr. Lghthill to Hartford and for directing me to him. I am GA years of age and have lived in Hartford county nearly all my life, and if the blessings and prayers of an old man are of any avail, the happiness and pros perity of Dr. Lighthill is assured.

 Hans Growyost, worthy German farmer, who has been a lifelong resident of Berks county, has shrewish wife, who has long rendered his domestic life anything but couch of roses. One day not long ago she in fit of pique packed up her duds and left him, vowing never to come back The neS N went around among the neighbors-youa know how intelligence of all kinds does travel in the country-and at night several of them, of which I was one, went to condo1e with Hans. He sat on his front stoop, puff fng away at his pipe. Hans" remarked, T pity you" ''My boy" replied the honest Dutchman, as he disturbedly knocked out the ashes of his pipe, ''you vas right She has shust come back!"- -Chesteri(P Pa.) Democrat.

The editor of the Galena Gazette, who is 8 personal friend of General Grant, says: "A very large class of the American people have chosen to make him (Grant) their candidate, and if the Republican national convention at Chicago sees fit to tender him the nomina- tion he will not decline it. This we know to be fact, and we publish it because it is well that the Republicans of the country should cease to hold the matter in doubtn It does seem to be about time that there should cease to be any doubt about this matter.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The New York Times makes careful est- mate of the strength of the various eandi- dates, and comes to the conclusion that Gen. eral Grant will receive 3S7 votes on the first ballot, or 8 more votes than are necessary to secure his nomination In week from to- morrow the accuracy of the Times count will be tested.

From fine Rev. Clark.
Pastor congregational Church. East Ha-

ten, Conn. It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lighthill's success in the cure of catarrh Bis 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 Our people may congratulate themselves on hav- ing at their command the services of physi- clan so skillful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, eatarrh.

Hartford, Feb. II, 1890 Dr. E. B. Lghthill:
 Dear Sir-Prompted by feeling of justice to you and a sense of duty to the public, I 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 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 effec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind.
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.

ENObody Will Ever See it." rFro,,, tba Cap FroDoiooo Hbroo;o1a I

short time ago we called upon a certain party in business in Vallejo, and asked him why he did not advertise in the Chronicle
 ''Oh, because, |" he answered, s'what's the use? Nobody will ever see it."
 You're mistaken" {" said we; ''every page in our paper is read.'
 Nonsense! :" he replied; ''even if they did read nfy ad, people would never think of it again. I don't want to advertise
 ttBut-"
 No buts at all. don't want to advertise and don't bother me any more. I'm busy-n
 And he walked back into his store and strangled poor little fly that was helping itself from barrel of sugar.
 Time passeth and we never again intima- ted advertisement to him, although meet ing him daily. Yesterday the gentleman called at our sanctum looking little uncer- tain as to how he would be received. We cherished no hard feelings, and motioned him to a chair.
 q suppose you heard of that little affair of mine below?"
 ''Oh yes," said we, 'that little escapade on Kearney street night before last? Yes, we've got all the particulars-'
 Flush! Not so loud, please" said he, ttof course you are going to say nothing in the paper about E ?'
 ''And why not |? It's matter of interest to your friends and the public generally"
 Heavens Why it would ruin me!''
 ''Oh, mo- guess not. Nobody will ever see it,"
 ''Yes they will. And it will ruin me as sure as I'm sitting here. I'll be the laughing stock of the town. They will see it."
 We rose and touched him impressively on the shoulder.
 t'We1l, we will admit that the people will see it but then, you know, they will never think of it againI'
 His words came back to him like flash, and he tremb1ed so violently that his eyeballs fairly jingled and he was such an object of commiseration that we promised to keep num- This little moral is drawn from the above, which is applicable the world over: Ask a man to advertise, and he will immedi- ately say in hemajority of cases that sSNo- body will ever see it." but advertise gratis some little indiscretion he may commit, and he immediately grows indignant over the cer- tainty that the whole world will know it.

A bill is now before Congress to define the word orphan. Most people would think such a bill unnecessary, but it seems that it is not. Usually the term orphan is applied to one who has lost both parents, but it is also ap- piled where only one parent is dead. In Pennsylvania it has been decided to mean, where it occurs in Girard's will, one whose father is dead, though it is doubtful if that was really Girards understanding of the word. In Ireland it is frequently applied to person who has lost all his children. An old childless man is there called "poor old orphan
 Memphis is perhaps cleaner to-day than she has ever been and hopes to escape the yellow fever this summer. Twenty miles of sewer pipes have been laid already, and over roo men are now at work for the district govern ment. Thirty miles of sewers will be fn- ished by June 1. This will nearly complete the sewer system In addition, an equal number of miles of drain tile have been laid. Aside from the sewerage and drainage, men tion must be made of the cleaning and filling of vaults, the demolition of hundreds of old buildings the tearing up of the Nicholson pavement, the cleaning up of cellars and the general renovation of stores and dwellings.
 A famous iron ore case, which has been in the courts of Pennsylvania for twenty-seven years, has at last been decided by the Su- preme Court. The case was one in which certain furnace company claimed enough iron from the iron banks of Lebanon county for the supply of one furnace, by virtue of reservation in deed given by one Peter Grubb more than one hundred years ago. In the early days sufficient quantity of ore for the supply of one furnace was con- paratively small, but, with the march of mod ern improvements and inventions, the quan- tity increased to such an extent that the owners felt called upon to resist The suit has finally terminated, though not without great expense to both contestants Several of the lawyers who were engaged upon the case when it was carried into court have long since been in their graves.
 It is evident that the Czar acted wisely when he chose Count Loris Melikoff to deal with the Nihilists. Melikoff has not only restored order in St. Petersburg, but the Nihilists themselves confess reluctantly that their third period has not been sue cess. By the third period of their operations they mean the reign of terror and crime

 Six years ago became hard of hearing, and ever since then the difficulty increased so that it annoyed me very much, and obliged me to listen closely in order to get along. In this condition I placed myself under the treatment and care of Dr. Lighthill, who suc- ceeded in restoring me to,perfect hearing, and thereby earned my lifelong gratitude.
