 Pastor Congregational Church, East Ha-
 ven, Conn.
 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lighthill's success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben eicial 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 applied by Dr. Lighthill per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hay ing at their command the services of physi- elan so skillful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

Hartford, Conn.
 Hartford, Feb. Il, 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 have seen 8 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 so rational and effec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind.
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.

 For the past twenty years was afflicted with Catarrh, which affected my throat to such 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 nay 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 was quite difficult myself under Dr. Lighthills care, and there suit of his treatment has been truly wonder ful. The trouble in my throat is completely removed, sleep and breathe as comfortably as a baby, my hearing is restored, and my health has so much i'm proved that feel like a 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. LighthiH to Hartford and for directing me to him am 64 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. LghthiH is assured.

An American Abroad.|

Railroading in England appears pc
culiar to an American. There is no
paying of fares on the cars so far as
we observed. The passenger coaches
are only about half the length of ours,
divided into. three apartm ents; the
doors are on the side. The apartments
of the same car are sometimes marked
first, second and third class. First
class seats are great easy chairs, finely
upholstered. Second class, plainly
and strictly upholstered with leather.
Third class seats about as comfortable
as the benches of a frontier school
house. The English say that the aris-
tocracy and Americans and fools travel
first class. The business men of Eng
land almost invariably travel second
class. The conductor is called the
guard.
The locomotives are much smaller
than ours with one large drive-wheel
on each side. The smoke stack is not
funnel-shaped as here, but straight.
rhe rate of speed is much higher than
here. The engineer IS not as well pro-
tected from the steam.
At the holels the walters are dressed
in black broadcloth, swallow tailed
coats, with white neckties, once the
style for the pulpit in this country, but
now almost monopolized by stage
singers.
In connection with restaurants is the
inevitable bar with. the villainous GUS
tom of employing young ladies to deal
out the liquors. A custom which is
tolerated in this country only in low
concert saloons.
A brief visit to New Castle upon
Tyne, discovered nothing worthy of
special mention. A large portion of
that growing city is unsightly and
dingy, on account of its enormous coal
trade and coal consumption. The CEN
ter of the city is remodelea on a fine
scale, with beautiful broad streets and
some attractive public buildings.
A visit to Cambridge was one of more
interest to us chiefly on account of its
university with its seventeen colleges
and halls. A college official escorted
us and made our visit very pleasant
one. The grounds are beautiful. On

a Grim Reality.

What romance is more startling than
reality? The daily newspaper fur
nishes materials for many a thrilling
novel by the simple statement of facts.
4 recent tragedy had for its actors an
cid man afraid of his life while in the
company of his son and his sons wife,
and drinking only milk and water be-
cause he could do his own milking,
draw water himself from the we'll, and
thus be sure that he was not to be poi
soned. Here was the son, sHllen
brute, of whose creation as Il character
many writer of fiction would be
proud. His standing grudge against
his father seems to have been that
while the father lived the son could
not have his money. People who had
seen the two together many times at
work in the field, never saw the son
speak to the father; for four years be-
fore the mothers death the son did not
once speak to her. On one occasion,
the poor old woman, longing for a
word of kindness from her boy, ac-
tuaily offered to give him money if he
would speak to her. This extraordi-
nary animal refused. The last touch
is put upon this grotesque and horrible
picture by showing that the son fol-
lowed his father for four days before
the murder, carrying everywhere, on
the farm, in the house, at the table, an
axe, and preserving all the while the
silence Of headsman. This strange
group continued to live quietly under
the same roof until the fathers fears
were realized, and he was butchered--
by whom it is easy to guess. And all
this passed in our very midst, among
the peaceful scenes of everyday life.
