From Col. D. A. Rood,
Proprietor Of the United States Hote
 Hartford, Conn.

Hartford, CSnn.
 Hartford Feb. II, 1880. Dr. E. B. Lghthill:
 Dear Sir-Prompted by feeling of justice to you and sense of duty to the public, 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.

The resignation of Senator Gordon, of Georgia, removes from the Senate one who has been among the safest leaders of the South since the war. He is said to be poor and to find himself under the necessity of paying more attention to business than he feels is consistent with the faithful dischar ge of his duties as Senator.

 MT. W. H.

 thinks this worked to MT. Blaine's disadvan- tage.S In the first place, says he, this disobe- dience displeased several Blaine men on the delegation who believed in obeying in structions until Hartranft's nomination was seen to be out of the question, and then for Pennsylvania to vote unit for some other candidate approved by a majority of the dele gates. This other candidate would have been Blaine but for the conduct of the few who kicked successfully against their instruc- tions. Had the State voted a unit it's vote on the final ballot would have nominated Blaine instead of Hayes. The unite rule be- ing broken the State cast 30 votes for Blaine unit rule being sustained 58 votes would have been cast for Blaine and none for Hayes, the majority ruling. This would have elected Blaine, he having received 351 and Hayes 3S4, change of 26 votes giving the Maine Senator the exact number needed to make a majority. MT. Kemble has no doubt the 2S would have turned in willingly and helped nominate Blaine, but for their wrath at their colleagues who thought they could get along alone. ''They were too smart, /" he says, ''too independent, and that was the way they got left' He seems to think the same thing may happen this year, admitting that unit rule cannot be enforced in Republican conven- tion and that it's only value is its moral weight in inducing wavering and irresolute delegates to believe that they are bound by it even against their own interests.

Of MT. W. J. Cowles, of Norfolk,

 Six years ago I 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 placed myself under the treatment and care of Dr. Lighthill, who sue ceeded in restoring me to. perfect hearing, and thereby earned my lifelong gratitude.

The value of cranberry bogs burned in
 Atlantic county, New Jersey, recently, has
 been reported as from $4, 900 to S15, 900 an
 acre. Nine thousand acres are said to have
 been destroyed. Seventy-five thousand acres
 of woodland, valued at from $16 to &2, 900 an
 acre have been burned over, and 10, 900 acres
 of vineland ruined, From these figures it ap-
 pears that Atlantic county has met with
 heavy loss. On cranberry bogs alone the
 loss is from $36, GOO, 900 to $135, GOO, GOO, and
 on woodland from $1, POO, GOO to $15O, ,0O0, ,O0O
 The census returns of 1870 give the total
 value of all the real and personal property in the county as $6,S77, ,491. Atlantic county
 must have developed some since 1870.
 A system of electric fire alarms similar to l that which has been employed in American cities for years has just been established in
 London, and the Englishmen hail it new revelation in the world of practical science. A London paper explains the working of the system at some length, and thus naively summarizes it's advantages over the old methods: ''This excellent arrangement will obviate the necessity of running of to the station, and, what is of the utmost import ance in cases of fire, enable the firemen to l have their engines at the place indicated almost immediately after the discovery of l the fire" This is all true, as our English ] friends will in time discover.
