HOME EVIDENCE Of the Success of pr. Light
 hills Practice in New
 Haven.
 Statement of NIr.sT. M. Cox, No. S5 St. John Street.
 New Haven.
 pr. LighthiI1 takes pleasure and pride in submitting to the cOnsid- eratiOn of those interested the fol- lowing statement of MT. T. M. Cox, an old and prominent resident of l New Haven.
A Happy Experience.

1 (From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.) 1 We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from MT. T. M. Cox, an old resident of New Haven, and 8 gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light deservedly accepted by onr community with the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on I fail to establish him in public confidence. NEW HAVEN, July 9: It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lghthill and the successful results of his treatment. For l the past thirty-six years I had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very
 
 lowing and breathing. Of late years it at- tackled my hearing, impairing it to consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in- ereasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthill's pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all its attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is 50 well known tha any recommen- dation on my part is scarcel necessary, but feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief My happy experience of the results of Dr. LighthilPs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnill will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession

An interesting occurrence helped to break the monotony of life on the steamer Neckar during her last trip. The miniature craft Little Western was spoken in mid-ocean on the afternoon of July 10th, and the great ship ran close enough to the little one to admit of conversation. It must have afforded consid
 erable amusement to the passengers to watch

Seth Green can catch fish where anybody can, and also where most people can't He was recently told by the farmers living on the shores of Canandaigua Lake that the trout had stopped biting He replied that the trout could be taken and proceeded to make his word good. He was directed to the most likely ground, but did not consider 1t necessary to act on the advice. 1.-The fact is, '' he remarked, ''people always imagine fishing is better long way from home. In this case they said nobody fshed on our side of the lake, because the track of the steam CTS is there" MT. Green merely went far enough from shore to reach water from sev- enty-6ve to one hundred feet in depth, and his trolling was immediately successful. He caught trout enough to supply all the farmers within mile MT. Green insists that there are dozen fish lost from haste and impa- tience to one lost because of delay. So long as the line is taut, the fish is not likely to get away. The secret of success is to feel the bottom carefully. The bait must be within six inches of the bottom, and the angler can make sure of this only by feeling the sinker touch as he advances Like pike, salmon trout lie close to the bottom at this season. The greatest depth of water in Canandaigua Lake is $50 feet MT. Green did not fish in water over 100 feet in depth The trout he took weighed from four to eight pounds each.

A friend of George Eliot writes from Eng land to the Womans Journal that Mr. John Cross is an excellent man of forty-two years rich and an old and devoted friend of the Leweses. MT. Lewes was very fond of him. He lived close by the Leweses' country place, and went in and out like an attached relation. ''He admired Mrs. Lewes profoundly, and al- ways said he would do anything in the world for her. He is not an intellectual companion like MT. Lewes, but a strong, solid reliable man, who gives you at once a sense of conf dence, a thoroughly reliable, kind, upright, steadfast mana thorough support such man as any woman would be thankful to have near her as a constant and devoted friend. Nothing is more wise and more happy than that such an invaluable friend should be al- lowed to supply the daily care and affection ate companionship which his admiration and his affection both made him long to give And Mrs. Lewes is not the woman, with her tender and yielding nature (so unconsciously sketched in Maggie Tulliver and Dorothea) to resist the soothing support of such de- voted affection.''

The Norwich Bulletin takes look over the field and satisfies itself that Mayor Bigelow of New Haven should be the nominee of the Republicans for Governor The Bulletin says among other things: ''The great ques ton on all sides is, Which is the strongest man? And the universal disposition seems to be to take the man upon whom the great majority agree as meeting this inquiry. From careful survey of the field we are inclined to believe that MT. Bigelow should be the nominee. He is the only Republican who has been able to carry New Haven for years. At his last election he ran some 1,5OO votes ahead of his ticket This wonderful popularity is considera- tion not to be despised, other things being equal, in a close and exciting contest such as this years election will be- Possibly on a fuller presentation and consideration of the facts, particularly in the light of new devel- opments, we may look at the matter differ ently; but at the present it strikes us that the best nomination for Governor which the Republicans can make next month is Hobart B. Bigelow of New Haven.'

 The English people took some interest in the recent Handel festival Upwards of 300 London and provincial newspapers were rep resented there. The more important provin- cial newspapers had not only reports, but often detailed criticisms, dispatched by tele- graph and published in their next mornings issue-a fact which speaks well for journal istic enterprise in the country The full re- ports of all the criticisms of the various news papers would probably amount to about a thousand Times-size columns, and they are all pasted in books and indexed by the Crys- tai Palace authorities. The total number of persons who attended the Handel festival was exceeded only by the total of the first festi- val, in 1859, when the Prince Consort attend ed in sort of state. On the rehearsal day this year there were 15, 450 people, on the Messiah" day 21, 434, on the Selection day p, ,495 and for ''Israel in Egypt 20, ,264, or a gross total for the four days of 70, 643 people.

The Obnoxious Law.

The resolutions adopted at pub
lie meeting at Semiahmoo, a few
days ago, in reference to the new
revenue law, indicate n deep feeling
of hostility to its provisions, enter
tanned almost universally by the
people of the Territory, but do not,
we believe point out the proper mode
of relief. They are as follows:
WHEREAS, the Legislature of 1879 passed
revenue law that is a disgrace To the
legislature that passed it, to Washington
Territory and to the annals of legislation;
AND WHEREAS said law is oppressive, I'M
Just and impracticable, therefore.
Kesolr~f, iSt. That we, the taxpayers of
Scmiahmoo, unqualitiedlv condemn said
law and the members of the Legislature
that passed II.
I'd, That we heartily condemn any Off
Ger in this county who dares to try to en-
force said law.
3d. That we will do all in our power to
render said law imperative and void.
Ath. That we hereby ask his Excellency,
the Governor of the Territory to call an
extra session OF the Legislature IN ofuef
TO repeal said law.
1t should be borne in mind that it
is the sworn duty of all officers to
execute the laws passed defining
their line of duty. They have no
more moral or legal right to disre.
gard enactments which seems to
them unjus. than they have those ac-
knowledged to be founded upon true
principles. In condemning officers
who " dare to try to enforce said
law" therefore, their action is revo-
iutonary, and cannot receive the
endorsement of cooler and more ma
ture Judgment. If the law is, as al
legged, oppressive and unjust. the
surest way to secure its repeal by
the next Assembly, is to rigidly en-
force its provisions.
The proposition to call on extrf
session of the Legislature to repea
the obnoxious law, seems to us, pc
cullarly Objectionable. The grea
expense which would accrue, with
no appropriation available to pay it,
renders the suggestion almost i'm.
practical, even were the necessity
much greater than it really is. and a
much simpler means of relief is af-
forded by invoking Congressional
aid. We believe u petition for the
repeal of the law would receive nine
tenths the signatures of the people
of the Territory, and such an appeal
would meet with ready response.
It will be remembered that Congress
few years ago retoed an act reas-
signing the Judges, upon the mere
request of the officers affected, and
it is not improbable that the voice of
the people will be less potent in a
crisis like the present.
