NEW HAVEN, July 8. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lghthin and the successful results of his treatment For the past thirty-six years had been troubled with Q catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to a consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lghthilrs pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me te place myself un- der his care, and happily I did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal con- plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub- lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthilrs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnin will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is a master of his profession.

NEW HAVEN, August :

tr<AAOSSN
 NEW HAVEN, August 20, 1880.
 Permit me to add my testimony of Dr. Lighthilps skill and suSeess to that of Mr. Cox and others, as I have every reason to speak in terms of the highest praise of his successful efforts in my behalf When a month ago applied to him for relief was great sufferer. A catarrh which had af-s ficted me for some time past, recently be- came so aggravated that it impaired my hear ing and gave rise to such agonizing pain and distress in my head that 1t nearly drove me insane. In fact such result could scarcely have been otherwise if Dr. Lighthin had not afforded me such marvelously prompt relief. One treatment proved the efficacy of his method, for when I left his office was in condition of comfort and experienced the most inexpressible relief That night rest ed comfortably, and in the morning felt like a new man. Ever since then steady im- provement has taken place in my case, the most stubborn features yielding readily to Dr. Lighthill's skillful management The pain has entirely disappeared, my hearing is restored and a troublesome cough, which se- riously alarmed my friends, is almost entire ly gone. My whole system, in fact, has been so much benefited that all my acquaintances notice the favorable change. Like many oth- CTS, had spent much money and time in fruitless efforts to obtain relief before I ap- piled to Dr. Lighthill, and I can therefore recommend the doctor with the confidence of a long experience. I am an employe of the Boston and Air Line Railroad Company, and reside at 267 Atwater street, and will cheer fully substantiate in person what have here put in writing J. H. MEHAFFEY.

A Sail Across Saratoga Lake-SuIphur
 Springs Hotel and Grounds--A Stage
 Ride in the Rain and Other Incidents.
 BALLsToN SPA, N. Y., Sept. 14. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Each new issue of the JOURNAL AND COURIER that comes to us greets us with a homelike air. and it is pleasant to have in mind events of the familiar place. You have often heard it siad that those in search of recreation should leave all care and anxiety and all asso- citations of home behind them. However, that is not to the mind of your present cor respondent. Have no more care and anxiety than are productive of personal and general good, or you will find that unknowingly you have packed some of them (to your discom- fort) to carry on your journey. As for ban ishing recollections of home and friends at home. let those devoid of heart do it if they will, and all others will have the sslion's share'' of enjoyment without the lions greed.
 No chapter on moral science is here lntend- cd. so you shall have, at once, description of our delightful sail to Sulphur Springs. We had just breakfasted, when, looking out of window, one of the party spied the favorite catamaran-named Little Edward with it's sails Tapping in the northeast wind. There was rain-storm pending, but no rain fell on that memorable day; and, the waves being rough and high, we had all the more pleasure in our ride upon the lake. We all rowed out to the Little Edward, as no regular wharf was built upon our cottage shore, and clam bered over the high sides of the flat, dry boat, which is as comfortable and capacious as reasonable pleasure seekers could desire. Our kindly landlord, MT, James Riley, was

For upward of twenty-fve years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at-- tended his efforts. His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. candid opinion will inva- riably be given as to the possibilities of cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. Lighthi1s professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

STATE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
THE sCHOOL MATTER,

When we suggested that Hon. Dexter R. Wright would be suitable man to elect to a seat in the Board of Education we had reason to believe that be would consent to be can- didate, although we were aware that he had no ambition in that direction. After think ing the matter over, Colonel Wright has in- formed us that he cannot become candidate We make this announcement with regret, for we should be glad if the district could have the benefit of his services in the Board, and the favorable reception his name met with gave promise of his election if he would con- sent to run

Still, as long as other people did not feel the importance of being present, those who were there had an undoubted right to take such action as pleased them.

 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 efcial that cheerfully recommend him to the confidence ofthe 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. Lighthin 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 hav- ing at their command the services of phy- sician so skillful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh

The Enect of CIofhea.

Acouple of weeks ago little woman and two children made their appearance at the Grand Central, in Tahoe City, Lake Bigler. The
 woman was plainly dressed, and so were both of her children. They were not taken much notice of, and no one cared to make the ac- quaintance of the modest little lady in plain clothes Then the woman, who saw herself snubbed every way, got her dander up, and sent down to San Francisco for tho balance of her clothes, and likewise the children's. They came. Next morning she appeared at the breakfast table with toilet from Worth, and her diamonds dazzled everybody. "Oh, good morning, Mrs Smith" came from all sides. But this was only the beginning of the toilet boom At lunch she was simply magnificent and at dinner overpowering. She had nine Saratoga trunks to draw from, and her little daughters evening dress created a regular furore. Now came her turn to put on airs. She simply treated everybody with the coolest kind of poiteness. Of course she was civil, but didn't overdo cordiality to any extent. After overwhelming the place few days with an avalanche of style, she sent them back to San Francisco and resumed her plain $25 suit.

That the public schools do not teach prop erly even the simplest branches is fact which is constantly being proved to popular dissatisfaction.

In all the written examinations er- TOTS of punctuation and capitalization might be found and it was by no means uncom- mon to find the most ordinary words mis- spelled.

The following is @ pretty severe arraign- ment of one side of southern character, but there is plenty of evidence to sustain 1t. The Boston He7'ald says Southern "honor" has always been 8 queer institution, and it hasn't lost all of it's oddity. Passing over the sen- timent of ''honor'' which permitted 'gentle- men, to make merchandise of their own off spring, to oppress the weak and bully the timid, to suppress free speech and make ig- norance compulsory, while claiming to live in a republic, to murder each other under s'the code" and shoot men with impunity for certain forms of insult and injury, their financial s'honor'' has been, and seems still to be, very peculiar. Southern gentlemen who would scorn to repudiate a bet have not hesitated to cheat 'Yankee'' creditors on the principle of spelling the Egyptians-jast as southern politicians, who would shoot man for charging them with cheating at cards, make no concealment of cheating in cleo tions, on the plea that the end justifes the means The recent vote in Arkansas on the proposed constitutional amendment, repudi- ating some $3, ,000, 900 of the State debt, in addition to $8, 500, ,000Annulled heretofore by the supreme court and the Legislature, is case in point The State has never paid, and makes no pretence of ever expecting or in tending to pay, dollar of principle or in terest on these State bonds, issued in 1869 and 1870; but their formal repudiation by constitutional enactment was opposed be- cause it might reflect on the ''honor of Ar kansas" There are individual bankrupts who preserve their honor" when they ''pay one cent on the dollar and go right on,n as the observant little girl put it, but Arkansas, not being bankrupt, proposes to Ego right onn without either paying cent or going
