 For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met. ropolitan practice devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of those important ailments, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which attended his efforts. His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, renderingtreat- ment so efectual that relief is experienced at once, and permanent cures are often effected in the most stubborn and aggravated cases ; and it is one of the happy features of his practice that the applications cause neither pain nor distress and can be readily admin istered to the most timid or nervous person. candid opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of cure, and no case will be accepted for treatment which does not pre- sent reasonable chance for success.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET.
 FOR PRESIDENT, JAMES A. GARFIELD, of Ohio.
 FOR VICE PRESIDENT, CHESTER A. ARTHUR, of N. York.

MORE ABOUT GENERAL ARTHUR. General Chester A. Arthur, our candidate for Vice President, is native of Vermont was Baptist minister, and the author of a learned and curious work entitled Family
 Names" He is a graduate of Union College and an able and skillful lawyer. He has done noble work for the negro. In 1852,
 Jonathan and Juliet Lennon, Virginian shareholders, intending to emigrate to Texas
 went to New York city to await the sailing of steamer taking eight slaves with them. A writ of habeas corpus was obtained from ] Judge Paine to test the question whether the provisions of the Fugitive Slave law were in
 force in New York Judge Paine rendered a decision holding that they were not, and or dering the Lennon slaves to be liberated Henry L. Clinton was one of the counsel for the shareholders. A howl of rage went up from the
 South, and the Virginia Legislature author ized the Attorney-General of that State to 1 assist in taking an appeal. William M Evarts and Chester A. Arthur were employed to represent the people, and they won their case, which then went to the Supreme Court of the United States Charles O'Conor here espoused the cause of the shareholders, but he too, was beaten by Messrs. Eyarts and Arthur, and long step was taken toward the emancipation of the black race. Another 1 great service rendered by General Ar 1 thur in the same cause in 1856. Lizzie Jen- 1 n1ngs, respectable colored woman, was put l off New York horse with violence, af- l ter she had paid her fare. General Arthur ] sued on her behalf and secured a verdict of 1 $500 damages. The next day the company issued an order to permit colored persons to l ride on their cars, and the other car cempa-
 nies quickly followed their example. Before 1 that the Si1th-Avenue Company ran few special cars for colored persons, and the oth CT lines refused to let them ride at all.
 During the early part of the war General Arthur made his mark as Quartermaster General. No higher praise of his service a4
 that critical period can be given him than | the mention of the fact that, although the 1 war account of the State of New York was at least ten times larger than that of any other State, yet it was the first audited and allowed in Washington, and without the deduction of dollar, while the Quartermasters' accounts from other States were reduced from $1 ,0OO,- GOO to $1O,0OO, GOO. He entered the office poor and left it poor, though he had oppor- tunities to make millions unquestioned.
 His political career we have already re- ferred to. He is man of fine personal ap- pearance and excellent address, Like Gen eral Garfield, he is tall man, being over six feet high, broad shouldered, athletic and handsome

From MT. Richard Case, of CantOns
 Conn.
D. A. ROOD.

For the past twenty years was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to such an extent as to make my life a misery. I would wake up at night with 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 quite difficult for me to hear. Two months ago 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 i'm proved that I feel like Q 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. Lghthill to Hartford and for directing me to him. 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. Lighthil is assured.

 A correspondent in your paper of the 9th inst, ID. A.,'' takes the Grays to task for decorating the graves of their dead comrades on the Sabbath. I take issue with ID.

A." is no friend of the Grays, or he or she would not charge that the company parade on Sunday for display. Two o'clock in the afternoon has been the hour, as in the morning both veterans and activeS attend divine service in body, and at this season of the year not few of our many churches close in the afternoon. A line of march has all ways been laid out to avoid disturbing ID. A. and in no case does the music play with in two blocks of any church. It is well known that music is provided only for the afternoon, and that mainly to play pieces of the most solemn character in the cemeteries when the squads are placing floral tributes on the graves No doubt ''D.

WHAT THE PAPERS sAY.
From the Cincinnati Commercial

From the Cincinnati CommerciaLl The nomination of General Garfield is a happy solution of the difficulty in which the Republican party was involved by the third term candidacy. There is no such grave is- sue before us as that which would have arisen if Grant had been the nominee The third term crusade of the bosses is defeated igno- miniously and we shall go on in the good old way, taking comfort in our superstitions about Washington and Jefferson.
 From the Philadelphia Inquirer.l
 The Republican party has in James A. Garfield candidate for whom it can in good conscience wage its contention against its Democratic opponents valiantly and vigor- ously This nomination is in itself great element of strength an augury of success. It was wisely and fttingly made. It honors the party as much as 1t honors the man. It insures unity commands popular respect and confidence, and it is full of promise of tri- umph With such candidate success should be as certain as with Grant defeat would have been.
 From the Springfield Republican,
 The Republican party, after it's manner, has rescued itself from defeat by close shave It has nominated for President James A. Garfield, the best man of all its list of candidates next to Edmunds-a pa triot scholar, an experienced statesman, a man devoted to the public service and of good repute. He is not of the stainless and irreproachable integrity of Edmunds, nor of his searching mental insight, but of broader sympathies, and the spots upon his career are so oyerborne by his general character for up- riRhtness that he can be well defended.
 From the New York Sum-
 In considering the nomination we desire first of all to thank God for the defeat of Grant and the decisive overthrow of. the third-term conspiracy. It is an event on which the American people in body may well offer up rejoicings to heaven, and the friends of liberty and of the rights of men in all nations under the sun should join with them in manifestations of their heartfelt gratitude But is General Garfield such man that patriotic citizens of the United States can we'll and wisely support him for Presi-

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

Hartford, Feb. II, 1880. Dr. E. B. Lighthill:
 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 I have seen good deal of physicians and medical practice, but I 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 Early Closing Association of London is about to appeal to the House of Commons, with the hope of bettering the condition of overworked and Hnderpaid clerks. The inn mediate occasion of this appeal was the sui eide of poor shop girl who killed herself the other day because of the unremitting toll to which she was subjectedf and because of the miserable inadequacy of the pittanee by which her toll was rewarded. The young woman attended her shop from early morn ing until nine or ten o'clock in the evening without intermission and it is said that this is the lot of thousands of English girls in sim liar situations. The English don't want any thing cruel done in Turkey.

their surfaces, gave better results in grinding than the buhr millstones. Respecting their special merits, they grind easily and do not heat the flour so much as is the case with the French buhrstone. In grinding grist they run perfectly cold. In making these stones the glass is cast in blocks of. suitable size and shape, joined with cement in the same way as the French buhrs, dressed and furrow-cut with picks and pointed hammers

Glass s'millstones'' are now used in Ger many with much satisfaction. The idea of making them is said to have originated from the observation that the finest flour was pro- duced by those millstones which have the most glassy texture; from this observation came an experiment which demonstrated that pieces of glass combined in the same way as the French buhr, and similarly grooyed on
