 ELIXIR OF SULPHUR. ITs GOOD QUALITIES AND GOOD WORKS.

 WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn.,, Jan. g. 1880. To the Editor of The New Haven Union.
 It is not very often that we'witness the rais- ing of person from the grave, but we have had in this quiet town, what seems almost 8 miracle. .F,sg.
 Some two or three years ago Miss Martha Chandler, much respected and well con- ,nected lady living here, attended camp meet ing held at Northampton. She contracted 8 hard cold and was taken with a severe. attack of bleeding at the lungs. which as you we'll know is very dangerous Several weeks en- sued before she could be moved to her home, and from that time she gradually failed, and in less than twelve months she was hopelessly sick with that dread monster consumption. During the few months that followed she had frequent bleeding spells, until they were thirty times in number increasing in pain and sever ity in each case. Last Spring she took to her bed, never expecting to leave it alive, as her mouth and throat were very sore, and 1t was with difficulty that she could swallow even liquid, much less solid good; it was simply torture and she grew to be mere shadow, with distressing cough and no appetite.
 Atsthis time there appeared on the scene visitor who told wonderful stories in regard to medicine that would surely cure her, saying that the gentleman that made it was modest druggist in Holyoke, Massachusetts by the name of Arthur. She had been given up by physicians, and also tried so many so called Sure Cures" that she wasalrnost incredulous, but consented to try it, hoping for the best. The first bottle she used helped her so much that she procured more, and finally. to make a long story short, after using twelve bottles she is to day we'll woman, and astonishes her neighbors by visiting thn as of old. They look upon her as one almost risen from the dead, and the whole town are talking about it with wonder. Now these are simple facts that occurred so publicly that deem it a matter of public justice to make 8 note of it. The medicine. almost forgot to say, is called '' Arthur's Elixir of Sulphur, ]" and from a careful investigation in this case, and incident ally many others, am led to acknowledge it Is 8 wonderful remedy in all cases of chronic colds, :. bronchitis, catarrh, consumption, whooping cough and diphtheria The making of an Elixir is difficult matter with sulphur, which is hard to- dissolve. Yet it is such a valuable remedial agent that the chemists of centuries have endeavored to produce one, but itswas left for this man Arthur, a drug gist in Holyoke of twenty years standing to bring it about.
 Fh To relieve your mind of the suspicion that l am in the pay of this firm would simply say arn. not, and would say that any one desiring to investigate this case further, can write 70 Miss Chandler herself, or to our worthy drug gist, MT. J. W. Browning, who will gladly answer any questions in regard to the case.

On Tuesday afternoon of last week, MT. F. H. Gilbert of Macedonia, who was return ing home from Swift's pond with large load of ice, was descending hill not far from the pond when he slid from the top of the load striking upon the whippletrees, thence to the ground where he was dragged for some distance before becoming detached from the lines. His team was discovered moving at very rapid pace and not seeing him on the wagon, MT. J. w. Lane, and others went to his assistance. He was badly bruised about the head one bone above the wrist broken; his wrist was out of joint, and he was other wise injured. Mr. Lane kindly took him home and Dr. King was soon present to ad- minister relief. We are glad to learn that he is convalescing, and will soon be able to attend to business again.

The first really close contest of the session came of in the House of Representatives at Hartford on Wednesday last, upon the Had dam contested election. The merits of the matter are these. A tie was declared on the first days voting, and Democrat was elected on the second. The counters in making the tie rejected Republican vote that had got into the wrong box, which was perfectly correct decision, but a Democratic vote, cast in the district of which the voter was not resident, was admitted, decision which strikes us as clearly illegal. Nevertheless the House allowed the Democrat who was chosen at the second days voting to retain his seat a bit of generosity not often seen in legislative bodies

The need of stronger harbor defences for our principal cities is one that ought to be heard even in the political clamor of presi- dential year. We have no navy that can con- pete with even second rate European powers, and our great sea coast cities are plainly at the mercy of any powerful invader. Armored vessels would think little of the fire of such artillery as can now be found in our coast de- fences and, unless some effort is made to keep up with the advances of the times in military armament, New York would fall an easy prey to the first resolute assailant. Some stress is laid on the imprc vements made in torpedoes but !hese have heretofore proved poor reliance, and one which it will not fe safe to rate higher than mere possi- bilty of defence

The South Carolina legislature is not likely, after all, to impose an educational quaifca- ton in their registration law which was con- trived to disfranchise the negroes. We see nothing wrong, however, in the adoption of an educational requirement similar to that of our own State constitution by way of consti- tutional amendment.
