We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. Major.
the famous cement man, Of New York 10 which
Ice sets forth some very interesting facts about
Majors Cement
The muti,udes who use this standard article
know that il is many hundred per cent better
than other cements, for which similar claims are
made. but great many DO not know why. The
simple reason is that Mr. Major uses the best ma
terials ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too cxpeu-
siyc and do not allow large profits Mr. Major
tells us that one .0t the elements Of his cement
COSTS S5.15 a pound. and another costs - IS A
gallon, while large share OF the so-cslled ce-
ments and liquid glue upon the market are
nothing more than l6-ccut glue dissolved iu water
or citrc acid, and, Ia some cases. altered slightly
IN color and odor by the addition OF cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and TWEEN
ty-fve cents bottle, and when @ dealer tries TO
sell a substitute You can depend upon il that his
only object is 20 make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as any
dealer ought TO make ON ans cement And this
is d1ubly true in view Of the fact that each
dealer gets his share Of the benefit of Mr. Majors
Advertising, which now amounts to over - 900 a
month throughout the country

hand advice from a druggist.

ENTITLED TO RELIEF.
Legal Opinion Regarding the Bill
Concerning the Todd Estate.

Concerning the Todd Estate.
The Attorney for the District has trans
mitted an opinion to the Commissioners
on House Resolution 275S for the relief
Of the estate Of William B. Todd, de-
ceased"
Mr.. Duysll points out that the bill in
question authorizes and directs the Com
missioners 10 refund to the administrators
Of the estate Of William b. Todd the
amount found to be enormously collected
therefrom in 1871 on account of an exces-
sive special assessment against lots /, 2,
3, and 1, in square 1O40. near the inter
section of South Carolina Avenue and
Thirteenth Street southeast. The ground
for the relief sought, Mr.. Duvall shows to
be that the drawback certificate issued on
the revised assessment was improperly
delivered 10 A. r. Shepherd or his attor-
ney. Continuing, Mr. DuvaI observes
From the papers now before me. il
appears that the said certificate was de-
livered in contravention Of the regulation
then in force which provided that when
there had been a change Of owners of
property after the levy Of a special assess
ment and the new owner applied for the
drawback he should furnish a waiver
signed by the former owner OF give a
bond Of indemnity to protect the District
Inc assessment IN tnlS case was made in
the name Of William B. Todd while he
was the owner of the property and no
waiver was ever given by him or his local
representatives.
1T further appears that the special as
sessment division upon being notified that
the drawback certificate was claimed by
the Todd estate. notified the representa-
tive Of that estate that the certificate
would be ready for issue on February 2.
1850. but when the agent OF the Todd es-
tate called for said drawback certificate
be was Informed that il had been issued to
A. R. Shepherd, or his attorney, on Jan
uary 30. 1850.
In view Of the regulation and OF the
notice aforesaid. in my judgment the said
drawback certificate was improperly de-
livered."
In view Of all the circumstances Mr.
Duvall advises the Commissioners that in
his opinion the Todd estate is entitled to
the relief provided in the bill.
