arrested on complaint of Superintendent.
Fairweather. He was brought to Colfax,

pies quarters in the County Jail. The OBJ.
structions consisted of jack-screws, wheel.
barrows, etc, and but for timely discovery
might have caused great damage and loss
of life. Some trouble with the company
prompted him to seek revenge in this man.

For upwards of twenty-five years, DIR.
LIGHTHILL'S professional attention has
been exclusively devoted to the relief and
cure of these important ailments, and it ia
with pardonable pride that he refers to the
success which he has achieved in this
special department of medical science. Hts
apparatus and appliances for the examination
and treatment of the hidden cavities of the
head, throat and air passages are original,
and consessejly the most perfect OF anything
of the kind yet devised, enabling him not
only to readily discover the exact nature Of
the complaint, but also to direct his applics.
tions to the diseased parts SC effsctually that
relief is experienced at once, and permanent
cures are often effected in the most stubborn
and aggravated cases. And it is one of the
happy features of his practice that the appli.
cations cGuse neither pain nor distress, and
can therefore be readily administered to the
most timid or nervous person.
A candid opinion will invariably be given
as to the probabilities of a cure. and no case
will be accepted for treatment which does not
offer reasonable chance Of SUCCESS.

RICE's SURPRISE PARTY
A Pleasant Occasion .

Last evening the Windsor club celebrated another of the many pleasant occasions in it's history, it being the twenty y-ffth anniversary of the birthday of one of it's members-Mr.
 Samuel Rothchild junior partner in the firm
 of Louis Rothchild & Bro, the well-known and prosperous firm of carpet dealers on Grand street. In accordance with the custom of the club Mir. Rothchild gave an elegant spread to the members and their lady friends whose toilets were noticeably fine, in all about forty guests present, the refreshments being served in one of the large stores of the concern, which was cleared for the occasion, and being followed by dancing to fine music The event Of the evening was the presenta- tion to the host of the pictures of the ten original members of the club, elegantly
 framed, the gift being presented by MT. I. J. Newman, chairman, the recipient respond ing-both being graceful speeches. Six of
 the original members of the club have thus
 been presented with finely framed photo
 graph of the ten original members During the evening many telegrams- were received
 twenty-two members. Among the guests of the family were Selsctman Louis Feldman
 and lady. Mr. J. Rothchild, father of the
 Rothchiids, was present enjoying the scene.
 He has resided in this city thirty eight years
 and for about five years past has been re-
 tired from business, enjoying the fruits of
 well-earned competency. Among the gifts
 received from the family by the host in honor
 of his birthday was check of $1 1000 from
 his father, and various other valuable gifts
 The members of the club enjoyed greatly the liberal Inequalities of the occasion, and the twenty-ffth anniversary will long be re- membered with pleasure.
