NEW HAVEN, July 9.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthill and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-six years I had been troubled with 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 consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthill's pa- aents, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill efectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. I know Dr. Lighthills 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. Lighthills efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and I feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lighthill will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is master of bis profession.

TESTIMONIALS.
From MT. J. HI. Mehaffey.
 267 Atwater Street.

NEW HAVEN, August 2O 1880.
 Permit me to add my testimony of Dr. Lighthill's skill and success 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 Q
 month ago I applied to him for relief I was great sufferer. A catarrh which had af- 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 it nearly drove me insane. In fact such a result could scarcely
 have been otherwise if Dr. Lighthill had not
 afforded me such marve1ously prompt relief. One treatment proved the efficacy of his
 method for when left his office I was in a
 condition of comfort and experienced the
 most inexpressible relief That night I rest
 ed comfortably, and in the morning felt like
 & new man. Ever since then steady i'm
 provement has taken place in my case, the
 most stubborn features yielding readily to
 Dr. Lighthilrs skillful management. The
 pain has entirely disappeared, my hearing is
 restored and 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 acquafntances notice the favorable change. Like many oth- CTS, I 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
 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 I have here put in writing. J. H. MEHAFFEY.

 It affords 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 eficial 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 hav- ing at their command the services of phy- sician so skillful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

 in the special branches to which my atten-
 ton is confined. Induced by these consider

Breeding Swine.

A brood SOW is usually at her best, as
producer, in the number and quality
of pigs as well as in the secretion Of
milk, when she is from two to three
years old. Tho number of pigs drop
ped at litter will usually increase
with each successive litter up to the
third or fourth, provided the SOW is
put to breeding so as to drop her first
litter when she is about year old, as
is the custom with most breeders of
swine. After the SOW reaches four years
of age, her powers of CESSATION usually
grow weaker, and she is much less liza
BILE to save tho pigs that may be dropped.
Like all other general rules, there are
exceptions to this, but under ordinary
circumstances We would not recommend
the keeping Of brood sows by farmers
who are raising hogs for the general
market after they reach four years of
age.

The Poet LongfeliOw.

Mr.. Longfellow, almost Immediately
after his graduation, was appointed
Professor of Modern languages and
Literature in Bowdoin College, and en-
tered upon his duties at Brunswick in
1880. Here he lived and taught and
wrote for five years. Here was the
home to which he brought from his ma
tive city the wife of his early manhood.
the "Being Beauteous of the poem
entitled The Footsteps Of Angels" Of
whom he writes
'.With slow and noiseless footstep
Comes that messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
She was q lovely lady Of peculiarly
quiet movements in life, and by the
power of that thought which brings
presence, the bereaved keart could feel
and the longing eyes could see the
soundless entrance of the sweet phan-
tom form.
In the old home and in the unchanged
room whence he had watched
"The lights Of the village
Gl:am through the rain and the mist,
Longfellow fingered, after his class
day anniversary, with the memories of
fifty years for his companions :?
Healing comes with time to wounds
that are all but mortal. God has, with
tender mercy, implanted tnat in our
nature which enables us to renew all
pure affections and all legitimate ties.
The love of Mr.. Longfellow's maturer
years sprang up in heart enriched by
the experience of his first great sorrow.
The lady who became his second wife,
and the mother of his children, was
Miss Appleton. of Boston. the Mary
Ashburton of =" Hyperion" possess
ing," says friend who knew her well,
all the grace and dignity ascribed to
her." She is said to have been the
original of the well-known and favorite
picture of Evangeline." She was
remarkable for qualities not often
united in the same person. With
stately presence and almost regal man
her toward strangers whom she met on
terms of perfect equality, she was sim
gularly conslderate of thoso who were
dependent npon her.
Alas for the chances and changes of
this mortal state Again was the poets
home made desolate by death, although
in the later bereavement earessing
children linked the happy past with the
mournful present. TIE manner in
which he bore this sore affection is teld
with tender truthfulness in the follow
ing stanza from poem addressed to
him on birthday by his friend, James
Russell Lowell:
"Some suck up poison frem sorrows core
As nought but nightshads grew upon earth s
ground;
Love turned all his heartssase, and the more
Fate tried his bastions she but found door
Leading to swester manhood and more
sound"

LOUISIANA Moss. - The Louisiana
moss business, which has undergone a
period of depression, is said to be re-
viving. The moss is gathered mostly
by negroes, and after tree is stripped
it is allowed to rest for seven years,
during which time the moss renews
itself. Cypress moss is preferred, as
it is the longest and most tenacious of
all the varieties. After the moss is
gathered, it is placed in sunny spot
and left to the action of the wind and
weather for a month. At the ehd of
that time the grayish bark peals Of,
leaving the hair almost clean. It is
then sold to the plantation storekeeper
or country groceryman, who pays from
one to two csnts pound for it, accord
ing to quality. The next move is to
send the material to New Orleans to
manufacture. After the moss reaches
the factory it is subjected to the action
of the washer, which is large cylindri
cal arrangement with wheel inside,
which pulls the moss hither and thither
and lashes it through vat OF boiling
water end soap, until the stuff is cleaned.
Then it is hung out upon the rocks to
dry. This done, it is put iuto the dus-
ter, fan mill which entirely removes
all the dust that may have survived the
washing process. AS a result, the moss
comes into the factory yellow in color,
and goes out inky black. The article
is then made up into bales and marked
according to quality. The highest
grade can hardly be distinguished from
the finest horse hair.

Fight it Out.

A story is told of a daughter of a
prominent person now in the lecture
field, which is peculiarly interesting
and suggestive of unconscious wisdom.
A gentleman was invited to the lee
turer's house to tea. Immediately on
being seated at the table, the little girl
astonished the family circle and the
guest by the abrupt question:
Where is yeur wife?'
Now the gentleman, having been re-
Gently separated from the partner of
h:s life, was taken so completely by
surprise that he stammered forth the
truth:
81 don't know"
Don't know!" replied the enfant
terrible. "Why don't you know ?"
Finding that the child persisted in
her interrogatories, despite the mild re-
proof of her parents, he concluded to
make clean breast of the matter, and
have it over at once. So he said with
a calmness which was the result of in
ward expletives:.
Well, we don't live together we
can't agree, we'd better not"
He stifed groan as the child began
again, and darted an exasperated look
| at her parents. But the little torment
would not be quieted until she ex-
claimed:
Cant agree Thon why don't you
fight it out, as pa and ma do ?"
Vengeance is mine," laughingly re-
torted the visitor, after ''pa and
"ma" exchanged looks of holy horror,
followed by the inevitable roar.
A FAMOUS TowN.-About five weeks
ago fire broke out in the little town
of Urfa, better known to the European
public by its Biblical name of Ur, and
highly venerated throughout the Orient
as the birthplace of Abraham. The
house in which that celebrated patri-
arch was born is still standing in Urfa !;
it is called '' Bet Chalil Allah the
house of Gods friend-and hundreds
of pious pilgrims visit it annually.
When tho confagration took place on
the 24th of January, many Of the inhab-
itants of Urfa took refuge in Abraham s
dwelling, and carried thither all th&ir
valuables, persuaded that the flames
would respect the structure in which
so holy parsonage first saw the light of
day. Strange to say, their faith in the
inviolability of this ancient sanctuary
was justified by events; for while the
fire ragged all night long in Urfa, de-
stroying large number of houses in
the vicinity of "Bet Chalil Allah, "
that edifice as we'll as one Or two build
ings Immediately adjacent to it, re-
mained absolutely unharmed. This
triumphant vindication OF its protect
ing virtue has, SO it would appear,
greatly enhanced its reputation for
sanctity and doubtless the pecuniary
results of the present years pilgrimages
will enable the Urites to surmount
their losses by fire in a highly satisfact-
