Greece, once ''the land of scholars and the nurse of arms,'' seems to be looking up in the world, according to her census returns. Athens, which in 1870 had @ population of 4s, 107, now has 68,677. The Pireus in the same time has increased from II ,047 to 21,- 618 and not many American cities have done better. Patras increases from 26, 190 to 34,- 227 Corinth from 6,o47 to 7,5S5; Sparta from 1o,6s6 to F, ,007 Thebes from 5, ,273 to 6,o22. Laurium or Ergasteria, the site of mine somewhat famous in diplomatic history, had but single hut in 1866; in 1876 it had population of $500, which has now grown to $500. These figures are certainly surprising.

 Dr. Lighthill takes pleasure and pride in submitting to the consid- eration of those interested the fol- lowing statement of MT. T. M. Cox, an old and prominent resident of New Haven.
A Happy Experience,

(From the Journal and Courier, July 1O.)
 We take pleasure in presenting to our read CTS the following card from Mir. T. M. Cox, an old resident of New Haven, and a gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles. The state ment of his happy experience of Dr, Light hills treatment is full of interest and will be deservedIy accepted by our community with the utmost confidence Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. LighthilIs ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence
 NEw HAVEN, July 5.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Iighthin and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which WAS very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years 1t at- tackled my hearing, impairing 1t to consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in. creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Iighthil's pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un, der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light plaint and all it's attendant troubles and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. Lighthi1l's repu. tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part Is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty te the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity tO make this pub lie statement of my case, SC that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity ot obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Iighthilrs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialtiss in medical practice and I feel assured that few min utes conversation with Dr. Lightnill will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession.
