Praying vs. PreachiDr.

correspondent says: Prayer is good How frequently do we hear of prayer effort for those who assemble in the city for the purpose of education? All right. God hears the prayers. God bless the preachers and preaching. But don't forget ten times the number of young men congregated here for business purposes. Is not their influence upon themselves and each other and the world of consequence? Consider the weight of influence exerted in the world by those who originally began only as clerks or ap- prentices. Every now and then we read of their great exploits after death and some- times while living. Why not consider their trained ?"

Below will be found a card from Dr. Light hill, the attendant physician for diseases of the head, throat and lungs, announcing the continuation of his stay in New Haven, and the removal of his office and residence to No. 147 Chapel street, a few doors below Olive street. Dr. LighthiIl has made our city his temporary home during the past summer, and by his inimitabIe skill has won the con fdence and esteem of his patients, while his social qualities have endeared him to host of friends. During his residence here he has proved himself prompt and honorable in all his business transactions, zealously attentive to his professional engagements, and ever ready at his post of duty The success of his practice here fully justifes the great reputa- tion which he has enjoyed for the past quar- ter of century, and the extension of his stay here will no doubt be hailed with satisfaction by all those afflicted with any of the diseases to which his attention is confined He has leased the elegant residence No. 147 Chapel street, where hereafter he may be found on the days mentioned in his advertisement.
 NEW HAVEN, Sept. 30 1880. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 When last spring selected New Haven as my summer residence and commenced the practice of my profession it was my inten-
 
 my advent in your beautiful city the constant increase of patients from far and near showed me the want which is evidently felt in this community of physician skilled in the spe- cial branches to which my attention is con fined Induced by these considerations and the wishes of many friends, I have concluded to prolong my stay, and to further this ob- feet have leased until the first of May the commodious residence No. 147 Chapel street, where hereafter may be found on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week. That my practice here has been at tended with most gratifying results has been sufficiently attested by many fattering testi- monials of cures which have been so ire quently given to the public through your valuable columns. In thanking the public for the confidence which they so generously reposed in me and for the many courtesies which have received at all hands, I can give &he assurance that it will be my endea7or in the future, as it has been in the past, to dischare the duties of my profession to the very best Sf my ability and skill Yours re- spectfuIly, E. B. L1eHTHIII

And the race of the day was over, Mir. Aus tins boats having won both the prizes. As usual in such contests, the result only served to strengthen the confidence of each boat owner in his craft, each cone having some mishap to attribute his failure to. MT. White disgusted with his luck in regard to the break ing of his halliard, immediately challenged MT. Austin's Ripple to a contest over the same course for purse of twenty-five dollars to twenty, Mir. Austin giving the odds. The race was a very close one, the Hylas showing her fine sailing qualities. The boats went of on flying start-the Hylas at 4:38, the Ripple one minute and half later, the HyIas crossing the finish at 5:564, the Ripple one minute later, thus beating it's rival by half minute. It is understood that Mir. Mir. White on the same boats, the former giving odds of thirty to twenty. It is, how ever, doubtful if the race comes off. It is, however, gratifying to see how the interest in boating matters among our boatmen is in- creasing, and next year certainly bids fair to be live aquatic season in our harbor, as there are many old wounds which the late ness of the season will prevent from being healed up until 1881. The rules under which the regatta was sailed were published in our yesterdays issue. Great praise is due the judges for the fair and impartial manner in which they discharged their onerous and diff ficult task
