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. IghthilIs 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 standingand in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lighthin 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 hay ing at their command the services of physi- elan so skillful as Dr. Lighthi1 in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh

THE THREE BEATEN BOSSES.

THE THREE BEATEN BOSSES. Three bosses sat talking far out in the Vest
 Far out in the West as the sun went down; They spoke of the candidate they loved the best, And the 'kickers" came pouring up into the For leaders must work and no one can sleep,
 And the hotel bars swarming Three candidates sat by the telegraph wire,
 And awaited the news, as the sun went down; Each SEW that his ballot never went any higher, And the ballots that followed but deepened his For all must watch and no one may sleep;
 And the hotel bars swarming. Three corpses lie out on the platform stair,
 In an empty hall, as the sun goes down And an Old Man is weeping and tearing his hair,
 For those who shall never more rule in the town = The bosses may fail and candidates weep, And kickers sullen tho leaders be deep:

From MT. Richard Case, of Canton
 Conn.

For the past twenty years was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to l such an extent as to make my life misery. would wake up at night with sense of sui location, as though some one was strangling me, expecting every moment to be my last My suffering was so severe that 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 age I placed myself under Dr. Lighthilrs care, and the re- suit of his treatment has been truly wonder full. The trouble in my throat is completely removed, sleep and breathe as comfortably as baby, my hearing is restored, and my health has so much im- proved that I feel like a new man. In fact such change for the better has been wrought in my case that thank God daily from the bottom of my heart for bringing Dr. Lghthin to Hartford and for directing me to him. am 64 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 andpros- perity of Dr. Lighthin is assured.

From Col. ID. A. Rood, Proprietor of the United States Hotel,
 Hartford, Conn.

Hartford, Feb Il, 1880. Dr. E. B. Lighthill:
 Dear Sir-Prompted by feeling of justice to you and 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 I mustconfess 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.

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 insorder to get along. In this condition I placed myself under the treatment and care of Dr. LighthiIl, who suc- ceeded in restoring me to perfect hearing, and thereby earned my lifelong gratitude.

Now that so much crow is being manfully swallowed the origin of the phrase "eating l crow'' is appropriately revived. An old farm ! CT on the Hudson below Albany took summer 1 boarders to eke out the profits of his | farm. He sold the best of his farm products, l however, and often palmed off on his board CTS ''store' articles bought at lower price. l To their murmurs he replied 1T kin eat any thing, kin eat a crow" This remark was 1 repeated so often that one of the guests finally shot a crow and got the cook to pre- pare it for dinner. Fearful, however, that the farmer might have stomach for even such dish, the bird was iberally seasoned, while cooking, with Scotch snuff. The farm CT was rather taken back when the dish was placed before him. but had too much pluck to give in beaten without trial, and attacked the bird with the remark, 'I kin do il" At the second bite he repeated, q kin eat crow" and, as he suddenly suspended the operation of cutting the third mouthful and began retreat toward the door, he added, 'sbut dang me if banker arter it !''
