The suggestion made to the readers
Of the LIGHT In Mondays issue by Anon,
regarding the display Of storm signals is
one worthy of due consideration and
action SO far as necessary to secure the
end designed. The display of storm
signals from the post-Office or the Alamo
would be a very simple and elective
means OF preventing any such suffering
and inconvenience as frequently arises
here from the sudden sweeping down
Of u norther upon an unprepared peo-
pie.

Catarrhal Dangers.

TO be freed from the dangers of sufOcation

soundly aud undisturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain or

blessing beyond all other human enjoyments.

be the object of all afflicted. But those who
have tried many remedies and physicians de.
spair of relief or cure.
