A Few of the Accommodating Testi-

SPECIAL LOCAL NOTICES.

The very strong indorsment given to
DIR. Fishblatt by the medical profession
and testimony of those upon whom he
effected wonderful cures have rendered
his movements of much interest to the
afflicted. The cures he has affected in
this city and in many other places. are
SO well authenticated that one cannot
doubt his competence to do Just what
he processes to do. and as there are but
few who really come up to their profess
sions of skill and ability in treating the
diseases that afflict humanity, it is the
right to p%atronize a mar like DIR. Fish
blatt, who does all he promises to per-
form. This treatment of diseases which
maj the happiness of thousands of
people has secured him an immense
practice, and likely he will be crowded
with patients during the day he remains
in the city. Read these testimonials in
very specialcases;

HAVE we a railroad or have we not,
is a question that has been exciting the
public mind the past week. 1t is pre-
sumed we have, but it certainly has not
been of much use for the past week.
The oft-recurring billiards. have played
sad havoc with the running time of the
trains, making them as erratic as mete-
ORIG showers, and nearly as frequent.
The Galena train succeeded in getting
through Thursday and back again Fri
day, and was then held here until Mon
day, when it was supposed the road was
open, the snow pillow and work train
having gotten through in the morning,
followed by the Milwaukee passenger.
Monday night failed to bring the cheer
ing presence of a train. but instead
came the dubious news that it was stuck
fast in that everlasting snow-bank be-
tween Preston and Montfort, which had
been the death of one bold engine and
the bete notr of the working gangs. The
road was cleared after great exertion,
and viii remain so until Old Boreas sees
fit to get up his ire and switch the eddy
ing snow iuto the cuts. However, let
us be thankful for small things.
