Hartford, Feb. II, 1880. Dr. E. B. Lighthill-
 Dear Sir:-Prompted by feeling of jus tice 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 good deal of physicians and medical practice, but 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 80 rational and effect i've that it must commend itself at once to every appropriated mind.
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.

A Fight With a wildcat.

KINGSTON, May 11.-On Saturday after noon last, as the four year old child of Chas. Schoonmaker was playing near the house, its mother heard it scream for help. Running from the house she found that the child was being attacked by some wild animal. seizing a heavy stick she went to the child's assistance. The wildcat, for such it was jumped for the mother and fastened its claws in one of her arms. Being strong and courageous wo- man she managed to hurl the animal from her, and, by few well directed blows, to end its life. It measured over five feet from its head to the tip of the tail, and weighed 27 pounds. The child was very badly scratched, and but for the prompt arrival of it's mother would have been killed.

It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Light hills success in the cure of catarrh. His treat ment of my wife has proved so beneficial that cheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment ap- piled by Dr. Lighthill permanently removed the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may con- gratulate themselves on having at their com mand the services of physician 50 skilful as Dr. Lighthill in the treatment of that trouble some disease, catarrh.

 Prepared to give bis personal attention to the treatment and cure of Deafness, CataErh, and Diseases of Throat, Lungs and Nervous System.
 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, rendering treat ment so effectual 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 prac tice that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A can did opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of cure, and no case will be &C., cepted for treatment which does not present reasonable chance for success.
 In evidence of the success of his practice, Dr. Lighthill takes pleasure in submitting the following testimonials. A mass of similar ere dentials may be seen at his office.

He felt that it would not do to offer him Cabinet position. as his record as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Mir. Gladstone's for mer administration from December, 1868; to August, 1873, when he resigned, was not such as to commend him as a safe man for official responsibility under the new government. Still it was necessary to recognize in some way his services to the Liberal party, which had been heartily rendered and to no small degree effectual during the recent campaign, and thus it came about that Gladstone recon mended his elevation to a seat in the House of Lords.

never shown any disposition to dodge or evaoe
anything pertaining to his duties as pubic

His views on the questions OF the day are
sound and substantial. As one of the people he
legslates for the good OF the people aud visa the
people his personal and political Interests must
fail or flourish. No msn within our memory has
expressed more intelligent end authord)x views

always been the friend OF Shepherd College IN
and out of the Legislature and We know too well
the benefcent Influences OF that institution in our
midst to have it go down for want OF the neces-
sary support from the legislature.
Mr. Butler has been a practical business man

that that county will give from 400 10
800 majority againit Senator Butler.
Well. 10 saw the least of this random
statement, it makes wide gap in the
figures. 1u so small vote as Morgan
county casts, 100 votes makes a big
difference, and besides that we have
information based on the opinion OF
both influential democrats and repueli-
cans, that Maj Davidson will not carry
the county by near so large vote as
he did two years ago. Some OF the
most influential democrats in Morgan
county are hard at work for Butler, and
that influence will be felt on the day OF

THE AMENDMENTS.

I promised to write some articles eS-
planning the proposed amendments to
our constitution, but il Is impossible for
me to spare the time.
/ will vote against both amendments.
The county court is nuisance and
must be abolished, but our remedy is,
to establish court of orr owr. This
only requires an act OF the legislature
and may be accomplished within six
months The constitution provides:
"The Legislature shall upon the applica
tion of any county court, in such conn
", and in lieu thereof, create another
court, or other tribunals rs well for ,ju-
dicial as for police and fiscal Purposes.
either separate or combined, which shall
conform TO the wishes of the county
making the application aud with com
peusation to be made from The county
treasury. If two or more adjoining
counties shall prefer to unite in the cleo
ton Of Judge to hold county court.
in their respective counties, they shall
be authorized, (or all the purposes OF
judicial organization,) to do So See
constitution of 1872, article 8, sectlon34.
Let us separate judicial business from
our police and fiscal affairs Let US cs-
tablish a regular court with a first class
lawyer for judge, and have board of
commissioners, (supervisorS.) 1t will be
true economy for Berkeley and Jefier
son to unite and pay the judge salary
that will secure competent man; ex-
perience has shown, the better the Judge
the cheaper the court.
II We adopt the amendments, we will
be powerless to establish a iocal system
peculiarly suited TO our situation.
The first amendment is certainly an
Improvement OH the equity court as at
present organized, but it does %ot com
pare with the system we may easily es-
tablish. 1t will be observed, il the
amendment is adoped we will never be
able TO obtain local system. y ''coun
~ court of three commissioners, is
created for fiscal and police affairs; this
tribunal may be modltied,-it may be
made to consist of five or ten men, but
its jurisdiction cannot be cnanged:-it
must be confined to county business.
Hence if we vote for the amendment,
we are sadded for ali time with 4 sys-
TEN we do not want.
Again. 1t is well known, Berkeley
and Jefferson arc heavily taxed, already
for the benefit of distant parts of the
State; the amendments, by increasing
the number of circuit judges, augment
the general expense some 1920; as
our circuit, is not changed, our tax will
be increased without the slightest cor
responding benefit.
The second amendment. which pro-
vides for juries in a justices court, is
monstrous proposition aud will not be
advocated by any one who pretends 10
he a statesman. II a case is sufficiently
complicated TO require a jury, then it
ought to be Investigated under the su-
pervision of a person who understands
! the law; whereas, il it he a simple mat
ter jury is not necessary.
/ am very clear, we orght 10 vote
down the amendments, and then es,ab-
lish local system exactly suited to uur
wants, and if had the time, | would
convince your readc,s that this is our
true policy. JUNICS.
