Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local application. az they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have rumbling sound "r imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucus surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness lcaused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY < Co, Toledo, o.

A. W. Greedy, chief of the Weather Bureau at Washington, states that his opinion does not coincide with the popular belief that the present mild winter indicates cold spring, on the contrary he believes no one has any ground for predicting cold spring on that basis. He says "under the doc Urine of averages we could reasonably look for an open. mild winter since the late spring and the entire summer were cooler than usual"

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE; During the

Hilton Head, $. g., in the month of March
1862, Capt Walker, commanding the company
had for some time been DESTROYS of getting IN
false alarm In order 10 see how quick he
could get his company in line. The oppor.
tunity presented itself when the infantry de-
tail which had been employed in constructing
Fort Mitchell returned To Hilton Head
The Captain and myself had talked the mat
ter over a number Of times, but the fear OF pro-
dncing an unnecessary alarm at Hilton Head
prevented us from carrying out our purpose; :
but when the company was ordered TO Hilton

secret. Posts Nos. and OH Skull Creek were

AT midnight" says one of the 122d boys, in
letter written soon after this Wilderness fight,

would particularly like TO hear from some
of the 9th Md. boys, and also the "Chasseurs,
as TO how they got out of the Wilderness. L
know many of them got out the other way,
and went TO Andersonville aud Salisbury along
with some of the 122d n. Y.
But no one can say that Shaler's Brigade did
not do its whole duty on this occasion. 1t was
hand-to-hand contest. Many were bayoneted
and dubbed with muskets. There was no
stampede, as at Charlottesville year before.
Each man felt that he had personal interest
in the matter; and although the hOrrid oaths
from the Infatuated Johnnies, of Halt, halt,
you Yankee -" were frequent, the boys
in blue stood nobly up 10 their work. Even
our wounded, rs they lay on the ground, replied
with equally vigorous exclamation. Oneoi our
officers, although shot through the breast and
two or three other places roared tremend-
ously, the blood squirting from his wounded
chest as he cursed and swore at the Johnnies.
Never afterward did Gen. Lees army hazard
another attack out of breastworks. The 9th
of May marked an epoch in the war of the
rebellion. Spades were afterwards considered
of as much value as the bayonet by the Con-
federates. The rank aud file of the enemy had
