KNOW HIMSELF, by reading the ''Sci. ence of LIfe,'' the best medical work ever pub l lshed for young and middle-aged men. A Lady who was Blind for Four Years Cured by Dr. HeRtOn, the Magnetic Phys1c1an. at lO9 Orange Street, New Haven.
 Mrs N P. Braman, who resides at 255 Di1well avenue, in the city of New Haven, suffered from weak and sore eyes for many years. Her physicians told her that sbe was suffering from amaurosis, or what is
 called paralysis of the optic nerve, and that
 her case was incurable and advised her to
 let her eyes alone. Ms. Braman became so blind that she had to be led wherever
 she went. Hearing of Dr. Henion, the magnetic physician, who is now located at 109 Orange street, she had great desire to
 have him treat her eyes; finally her husband
 decided to gratify her desire and accordingly took her to Dr. Henion when he was in New
 Haven twelve years ago, and he restored her
 sight by fifteen magnetic treatments 50 that
 she could see as we'll as she ever did. This
 cure was made without the use of medicine
 or instruments simply by the laying
 on of hands. Remember that this cure
 was made by Dr. Henion twelve
 years ago and Mrs. Braman still remains
 perfectly well and may be referred to. This
 case, like that of Judge York, whom Dr.
 Henion cured twelve years ago, is clincher for those who say that Dr. Henion's treat ment is not permanent. Throw away your prejudice, and if you need 8 physician call on Dr. Henion. His treatment is permanent and he can cure you if you are curable. He consults free of charge from 9:30 8. m. until p. m.

DEATH AND FUNERAL OF WALES CURTIS.
 Mr. Wales Curtis, who died last Saturday on farm lying in Southbury and this town, was buried on Monday, the 22d inst. He was a member of the Congregational church and parish here. His age 59. It was found by post-mortem examination that he died of a greatly enlarged liver. He was an invalid for several years. It seemed to him that 8 tumor was growing in the region of the heart. He leaves wife and eleven chil- dren-six daughters and five sons. The youngest, daughter, is about ten years old. A strange sight at the funeral was that e1- hibited by young man who smoked as he rode along in the procession and at the grave. That our assessors should find less build ings and fine cattle in town in 1885 than in 1884 is not surprising, but that they found less land shows that they may have based their assessments on surveys made during fIeshets.
 One word now in behalf of perfect gen tleman, deep thinker, good scholar, pleasant speaker and convincing reasoner. We refer to Dr. Porter, Yale's bland and grand president. He ought not to have handed in his resignation. It is to be hoped that for the gocd of Yale it will not be accepted.

Drive At The rCoal Stocks-Prices Held Well During The Afternoon And Several Points Better At The
 

New York, Feb. 8, 1886. The Stock Exchange opened at Il o'clock to day in pursuance with it's adjournment over Washing tons birthday and during the hour to noon prices were feverish and unsettled. In the opening ten minutes drive at the coal stocks broke these shares 1s to 1A per cent, the latter in Delaware Hudson. From 10:15 to noon the market was ir- regular on very small volumes of business, but after midday the bull clique began bidding prices up and the early decline more than recovered by one o'clock. The market steadily gained in strength during the afternoon, prices were steadi- y supported and all offerings quickly absorbed by the bull cliques. The bulls seemed to be intim- dated by the strength with which values were held and refrained from any demonstrations, evidently fearing a trap in which they might be badly squeezed. The top figures of the day were reached at the close and compared with the closing prices of Saturday showed advances of A to 25s per cent. The cutting of rates by the Transcontin ental and the announcement of further engage ments of S976,OOO in gold bars had apparent ef- feet on speculation. The specialties were dull. The sales aggregated 312, 900 shares.
 Money loaned at easy rates throughout the day and closed at 26021A1
 Exchange closed easy. Postal rates 4.S8(94.9O. Governments closed firm.
