The renort Of the Finance Com,

The report of the Finance Com
mittee, made to the Mayor and
Alderman last night, furnishes food
for thought to every man interested
in the welfare of Knoxville Up to
1873, the credit Of Knoxville was
equal to that of any city Of its size
in the country. The interest on
our bonds was promptly paid as it
fell due, andl the floating indestsd-
ness Of the Corporation was not 50
large but that it was easily man
aged. But since then, through exS
travagance and bad management,
we have gone on from bad to worse,
until, as appears from the report
mentioned, our floating indebted
ness amounts to $81,087.49, or
about $4,000 more than it was a
year.rago. Counting the un-
collected taxes thtor 1878

 Prepared to give his personal attention to the treatment and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and Diseases of the Throat, Lungs and Ner- vous 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 Bis 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 eases and it is one of the happy features of his practice that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily admin istered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of cure, and no case will be accepted for treatment which does not pre- sent reasonable chance for success
 In evidence of the success of his practice, Dr. Lghthill takes pleasure in submitting the following testimonials. A mass of similar credentials may be seen at his office.

 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. LighthilPs success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben efcial that cheerfully recommend him tothe 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 pr. Lghthin 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 a physi- clan so skillful as Dr. Lighthin in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

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 quito difficult for me to hear. Two months ago l placed myself under Dr. Lighthill's care, and the re- suit of his treatment has been truly wonder full The trouble in my throat is completely removed, sleep and breathe as comfortably as 8 baby, my hearing Is restored, and my health has so much i'm proved that I feel like . now man.

 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 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 I 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 so rational and effec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind.
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.
