treated by great many physicians

Editor Medical Brief;-A peculiar case
of deafness, resulting from chronic aural
catarrh, came under my care a short time

consisted in its almost sudden cure; the
symptoms indicating rather tedious
treatment, with strong probability OF Il
delicate operation being necessary. The
patient was young man twenty three
years of age. II. c. W, of Davenport,

BosToy, Feb. 20. Tho death in New

disgusting, and furnished starting point
for an investigation which may result in
interesting developments Paine came of

up to some years ago he was well known in

critic of more than average ability and a
financial reporter of uncommon keen

most misery, INSCRIPTIONS and grasping Of
usurious money lenders. His miserly hab-
its and wretched personal appearance made
him disliked by every one, but he was toler

being ostracisad, and he left the city. 1t is
thought by his relatives that be must have
taken at least 81 900 0J0 with him, part of
which he had inherited, and the rest he had
made by speculation and usury. He was
not heard OF in Boston for number of
years, but was on one occasion hunted up
by the administrator of an estate and made
to disgorge. The administrator found Paine
