TESTIMONIALS.
From MT. J. HI. Mehaffey,
 267 Atyvater Street.

NEW HAVEN, August 20, 1880.
 Permit me to add my testimony of Dr. Lighthill's skill and success to that of MT. Cox and others, as I have every reason to speak in terms of the highest praise of his successful efforts in my behalf. When 8 month ago I applied to him for relief was great sufferer. A catarrh which had af- fieted 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 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 a condition of comfort and experienced the most inexpressible relief. That night I rest ed comfortably, and in the morning felt like a new man. Ever since then steady i'm provement has taken place in my case, the most stubborn features yielding readily to Dr. LighthilI's 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 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.

From MT. T. M. Cox,
S5 St. John Street.

NEW HAVEN, July g. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. LightbiI 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 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. LighthilPs pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually 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. 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. Lighthill's 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 a master of his profession

Trade in Cat-Tafls.
From the Portland (Mel Press.I


 It may not be generally known that trade In cat-o' nine tails or cat-tails, or catk1ns, or whatsoever they may be rightly called, is of some importance and magnitude. Whoever discovered and made known the fact that the proper place for the swamp-nurtured catkln was the parlor and drawing room has not left his name behind, but certain 1t IS that in the year 1879, and more particularly1n In the year 188O catkins began to be included Ill the house furnishing of ornamental things. At the present time the demand IS large and ln- crsasine, and useless weed has become an article of commerce. The catkins are used with pampas grass, sea oats and native grasses to make up the contents of vases which ornament mantels and room corners. This has become the rage, as it is called, and many room is undergoing the process of catkin and grass adornment. For the re- ception of these grasses large and small vases are used for the same purpose as well as for umrelIa stands. The catkins with the beautiful pampas grass add great deal to the of any room, and particularly of that one with complimentary surroundings. The time was when the beauties of natural grasses were concealed under coating of alum, or some other glistening substance. From this tinsel we are gradually turning toa more correct taste, even in such small mat ters as catkins One firm in Providence has laid in stock of about three thousand catkins.

A Defense of General Weaver.

A Defense of General Weaver.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The editors of certain so-called Democratic journals are seeking to impugn the integrity of General Weaver, the Greenback candidate for President. Why this unseemly haste Why this condemnation of patriot unheard? Can it be true that man who stood by the Union in the hours of it's darkest peril would in moment sacrifice honor and all that life holds dear for a mess of pottage? l cannot believe without substantial proof that Gener- al Weaver is such Judas. The true anlmus of the Democratic press is too apparent. They want the votes of the workingmen for Hancock and the Bourbons. And this party call themselves the friends of the workingman. But their action in Congress shows that the very reverse IS true and that on every occasion they have defeated meas ures that were introduced in the interest of the masses. I cite examples their defeat of Lowe's bill to take away the one-man power from the hands of the chamber of committees; the defeat of Hendrick B. Wright's homestead bill, calculated to relieve the distress among our people; their similar action in reference to Weavers bill, putting the soldier on the same footing as the bond holder (though some Democrats voted in ia vor of it); demoralizing the House to defeat Murchs bill for the establishment of National Bureau of Labor Statistics, '' absolutely necessary If they desired to introduce measures favor1ng labor reform their land grants to railroad corporations of PTS, ,334 acres of the public lands against their avowed cry of no more land grants, etc. I might go on with the record, but refrain. The thinking working men are on the side of the third party and will pull hard and strong for Weaver and Chambers They have no sympathy what ever with either of the old parties.
 ask the insertion of this letter and again appeal to all fair-minded men to wait for General Weaver's refutation of the charges alleged against him.

 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 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 phy- sician so skillful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.
