The usual treatment of catarrh is very un-
satisfactory, ,as thousands Of desparipg patients
can testify. On this point a Trustworthy
medical writer says: proper local treatment
is positively necessary to success, but many,
if not most of the remedies in general use BY
physicians afford but temporary benefit. A
cure certainly cannot be expected from snufs,
powders, douches and washes" Elys Cream
Balm is remedy which combines the i'm
portant requisites of quick action, specific
curative power with perfect safety and
pleasantness to the patient. nov30eod&wlw

Mr.J. H. Hobbs entertained q party Of
gentlemen last night at his elegant home
on Eotf street. The gathering was some.
thing in the nature Of q houss'Wafning.
Mr., Hobbs has just completed extensive
and very handsome improvements in his
house. There has been . general re-
modelling and reiurnishing.
The fifst door is finished In hard woods,
parlor, muse room and library in black
walnut, the dining room in ash, which ma
teFial ID used 70 good effect in wainscost-
ing and paneled ceiling, The treatment
Of the hard woods Is very elaborate and
artistic, the like Of which has not hitherto
been attempted in Wheeling, Mr.. Hobbs
made no conditions except that his
ideas should be carried out in
skilliul manner, and this Messrs
KIieyes, Kraft 4 90. have done. The
judiCious use Of plate glass and crystal
Chandeliers add brillianCy to the richly
furnished apartments and relieve the
sombre richness ci the heavy masses Of
black walnut, The conservatory opening
into the parlor is one OF the moRt Sttrac'
tive features Of q beautiful, commodlous
and convenient residence =,
Nothing has been omitted that would
add to the comfort Of the family or the
pleasure Ct their friends, The stable is a
model In arrangement and tinish, worthy
Of the fine stooS for which Mr.. Hobbs has
iondness. In addition 10 q billiard
room, which Is to be supplied with first
class tables.
Altogether the improvements are 90
radical and 80 great that Mr., Hobbs may
be said to have built himselta new house
He has recently added some new pictures
TO a growing collection in which there
were already many good things.
