A subscriber sends us the following from
Fort Valley:
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : It is re
ported down here that some one not far from
your city has excelled all of ns cotton planters
ID making money; and he did it by using the
oommon crab grass and curing it for hay.
Now many of ns desire to know the truth of
fhst report, aad if trne, how be managed it.
Did ho make per acre f Did he find ready sale -
for)!? Cm it be cot with a mower?
Yon will confer a favor on many of your
subscriber* by getting him to write out his mo
dus operandi, and printing it in yonr paper.
Pieaae do not forget to put the answer in yonr
semi-weekly. A ScsscniBzs.
We know nothing abont the case alluded to,
bnt print the inquiry to elicit thought and dis
cussion. There is nothing so extravagant —so
utterly and irredeemably wasteful—connected
with oar-plantation,- (or for the matter of that,
onr town economy) as the importation of long
forage, frem the Northern and Western States.
Baled bay is now quoted in Macon at $2 23
per 100 pounds, and by the time the bulk of
the consumers have paid transportation to their
bams and stables, and allowed for tare, it has
cost them at least three cents per poned. This
is equal tu paying $1.03 cents a bushel for
oom—allowing the pound of fodder to oonUin
as much nutriment as the pound of Cora.
Now it takes a tolerably poor crop of any
thing whatever which is absolntely needful for
plantation consumption, not to excel % cotton
crop, to the extent ol supplying one’s own ab
solute necessities. For illustration: If a plan
ter knows that be mnst either raise or bny thirty
or forty (honesnd pound* of long tonga lot
hit stock—if he grows and cores it, it ia mani
festly worth to him what the cost of so much
forage would be In market—ita transportation
to hts place and the tare and wastage on it on
the way. 8o, then, if last fall he had oondaded
to gather and cure the native grasses from his
fields and had stored them away street, well
eared and dry in hie stable-loft, they would
have been worth to him thirty .dollars per thou
sand pounds—bocaoss they would have saved
him Jost that amount of expenditure, besides
the time and trouble of baying. That point is
oerlainly too dear for dispute.
Again, it would be a shabby hand who could
not out at least 300 pounds per day from a field
wdl grown np in orab.grass, and that would
make hi* labor worth to his employer about fif.
teen dollars s day, while he was about 1L Again,
it wonld be a poor sere which would not yield
about s thousand pounds, and that wonld be
thirty dollars for a crop which ooet nothing but
the gathering, and which, as affairs run, would
bo worth aa much as any cotton acre on the
plantation, while the relative amount of labor
demanded by It wonld be comparatively noth
in.
Bat while upon this snbject of for*go for tbe
plantation—and forage to supply our own
towns and cities in Goorgia, we can aay truly
that leaving clover and the cultivated grasses
out of the aocount, at the prevailing prioes for
long forage there can oerlainly be no more val
uabie orop to the sore than that of drilled corn
for forage. Take fair land—lay it out in three
and a half or four foot furrows—drill these
thickly with corn—(western corn will do very
ell)—and cover and cultivate altogether with
tbe plow, and it will yield 3000 ponnds to the
acre. The crop oan be sown now—cultivated
twice and harvested in Jniy, and if well treated
and kept from dews and showers while caring,
it will be as good, bright, sweet fodder as can
be bought and worth as much aa any. That
value will be to tbe fanner at present prices of
forage better than a bale of cotton to tho acre
to the extent of his own necessities for con
sumption on the place.
The writer, last year—notwithstanding tbe
excessive drouth in May and early June—on as
poor land as con well bo found in Georgia—
without manure—gatherod from a patch of
about three acres of such a orop, drilled with
western mixed com, some thirty bushels of nub
bins, which wero capital for the stock, and
seven to nine thousand pounds of bright, sweet
fodder. The nubbins were gathered beoause
they wonld not cure in tho fodder. They were
just abont the roasting car stage, and the fodder
wonld have been ent earlier but for tbe rains
in the latter part of Juno and first of July.
What a man could do on rich land, or land
well manured In tho raising of fodder by this
method, it is hard to say—bnt we suppose six
thousand pounds of dry fodder to tho acre would
bo no remarkable achievement.
Vienna Exposition Behind.
Tue Vienna Exposition is no exception to
nniversal experience. It was to open yester
day, bnt will not be tally arranged fora month.
Seven thousand car loads of exhibits are waiting
to be piacod, and cannot be disposed of at a
more rapid rate than 200 loads per dsy. So it
was, perhaps to a less extent, with tbe Paris
nniversal exposition; and so, too, with World’s
Fairs of London and New York. So it has been
with all the Fairs little and big. The nearest
to a perfect exception we can thiDk of was the
Georgia Slate Fair in Maoon, in 1871. In 1869
everything wa3 chaotio here at the opening, but
undoubtedly that was the most extensive exhi
bition of the kind whioh has yet been made in
Georgia.
Tbe roasons of this initiatory delay and dis
order mnst be found in the very nature of the
undertaking—involving such vast numbers of
exhibitors few of whom can be brought up to
the point of promptitude—can make proper al
lounces for inevitable delays in transportation
arising from overtaxed routes—accidents—and
miscarriages of all kinds whioh multiply fear
fully with the demands npon transportation.
Let the projectors and managers of the Georgia
Fair of 1873, perfeot all their arrangements
early, and strive from tho beginning to impress
tho u’moat promptitude on all concerned.
Tbe Floyd Rifle*.
This historio oorps made its first appearance
yesterday since the close ot the lato civil war,
in fall drtBJ, musloring fifty-one muskets, and
presenting a most soldierly appearance in their
new uniforms. It was a gay and goodly sight,
and mads many hearts beat high with pride and
pleasure. They went to the field in 1861 with
a repute as high as that of any of the many
noble bands who that year marched to vindi
cate what they believed to be the right, and in
all those stirring years acquitted themselves
like true men and fearless knights. They have
reorganized with glowing prospects of reassum-
ing their old plaoe in the ranks of Georgia citi
zen soldiery, and we bid them weloome and
God speed! May their fntnrs be as prosperous
and golden as their past has been renowned.
Waai ox Dibbil Too Sbixs Hixd3 Wid

negro allies, is retlizxgevery day how “sharper
than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless”
—darkey constituency. He is out of effioe cow,
so, of course, the negroes have no nse for him
as he can’t bny their votes, and illustrates his
forlorn condition by the following story, which
we find In the Charleston News and Courier of
Wednesday. That pape r says:
R. K. Soott has had hi* “little feeling* hurt,

with not a friend in the world scaroely that I
felt I could rely upon. Outside the door I
noticed a group of niggers obatting together,
and aa I passed they looked at me in an odd
sort of way, as if nndetermined whether to
speak to me or not. Finally one of them came
forward extending hia hand, and said very cor
dially bow’d’ye do. Governor; how are you to
day ? I shook hands with him and walked in,
when I heard one of his oomrades aay to him,
“Who dat yon call Gubner? dat no Gnbner;
he nnttin bnt ex-Gnbner; he can’t do yon no

cl Maoon with participation in the riot whioh
occurred in that city in October last at the State

grand jury waa oom posed of gentlemen of in

H. F. Farrow, and in some way, we know not
bow, the rumor has been in the air ever since
tbe adjournment of that oonrt, that at this
term a jury wonld be impannelled who wonld
find true bills and would oonviet. Mr. Bwajze,
as editor of the Republican paper in Maoon, in
December last, published an editorial assuring
the oolored people that jurors oompoaed of the
right material would be bad at this term of said
oonrt. How far he has redeemed that promise
we give the publio the opportunity to judge by
publishing the names selected by the board of
which Mr. Swsyze waa a member, and from
wbloh the preaent jurors were drawn. For the
present we are oontent to eall attention to the
political status of the white men who were se

that of the thirty men from that county there
are but three who are Democrats.

By this aot it is made tbe duty of the reoelver

closing the receiver's books in every year, to
obtain from every person engaged In agricul

number of acres, as near as praeriosble, he or
she has planted that year, in each of the farm
crops. It is also made the duty of tha oolleotor
of ttxeB, or the person acting as such in esch
county In this State, by or before the fifteenth
dsy of December in every year, to obtain from
every person engaged in agriculture in hia ooun-
ty a statement on oath of the amount, aa near
as practicable, he or ahe hia made that year of
each of the farm crops grown kf the connty—
the cotton crop to be returned in ba^s averag
ing four hundred and fifty pounds- each, all
grain crops and rice in bushels, hay and all
other forage crops in tons. Also a statement
of the number of farm animals of each kind
he or she owns and has in possession. If the
provisions of this aot are faithfully and oonaoi-
enUonsly carried out by tbe offioer* designated
the result will be of unusual interest We trust
there will be no unneeeeaary daisy in the publi

J. Frost has given us several “pop calls" da
riog this month, withont doing mnch damage.
On lsat Friday night, however, we received an
other visit, this time leaving abundant evideno?
of hia destructive powers. Peaches, apple* acd
peart, are nearly all killed. We have examined
nearly fifty trees, and have found net more than
half a dozen of live peaches. The damage to
the apples appears to be nearly as great. The
gardens have come to for their share. Irish
potatoes, beaus, etc., are pretty generally killed.
In same localities the yoneg leaves on forest
trees have been killed. There is something
strange abont the fantastio tricks this enemy of
vegetation cuts. Upon tho same tree we fiud
limbs with erery leaf killed and locking like fire
bad passed beneath it, while within afew inches
are others with not a leaf affected. We noticed
the same thing in gardens. A row of beans
would be killed, except two or three, or perhaps
more; and those not killed were as much ex
posed as those killed. We state the fact acd
leave it for some of oar scientific brethren of

tea o'clock Dr. A’kiison, Principal of Lawieoee-
ville Academy, gave his scholars recess ; it was
dropping rain. Several of the young ladies and
a number of tbe small girls assembled to a house
adjacent to the Academy. Mine Autonett Rob
erta was standieg against or near the corner-
poet of the bouse, in the door, Miss Vesta Brown
and Atary Bom were near bor, while behind and
very hear them. Ada Wilson, Anna Luu'Ktng,
Hand Roesell, Katie Strickland. Elisabeth Her-
ringtac, Julia Brows, Fannie Byrd, Dora Am
brose and Gippie Wilson were standing, little
dreaming of the danger they were in. Sod-
deniy there was a bright flash as the eieo-
trioity leaped from the overcharged olonds,
followed by a terrifio peri of thunder. The
whole bevy dropped aa suddenly as if a bolt had
■track eaeh one. Some falling on others, while
some of them were thrown clear out of the door
npon the ground. There was nobody to give
tho alarm, and it was a minute or two before
the teacher or other scholars knew what hap
pened. One of the little girls, not so much
affected, got np and ran to the door and told
what had occurred. Tbe whole school went to
their assistance immediately and oerried those
enable to walk to the school room. Every as-
siaianoe ia tbe power of Dr. Atkisson sod the
acholars was rendered. It waa soon found that
there was no hope of their being able to revive
Miss Roberta She had been standing near the
post down whioh the lightning passed, shivering
It into splinters and then passing along tha silt.
It is supposed that the lightning struck her
heed, part of ths hair on tha back of the bead
being soorohed, althongb the skin was not bro
ken. Miss Vesta Brown, Mies Mary Born, Alisa
Aland Bussell, Anna Lou King, Ada Wilson,
Elizabeth Herrington and Katie Strickland were
all very aerioualy affected. It wab thought at
lint that Miss Vests Brown was fatally injured.
The lightning passed down one ride, tearing her
elothes and soorohing the flesh,andliterally tear
ing her shoe up. She was wearing gaiters laeed,
yet it was torn off anda portion of the soles torn
from the uppers. The other girls, with the excep
tion of one or two, were prostrated for awhile
from tbe shock, and the lightning seemed to
have affeeted their feet and legs more than any
other portion of their persons, whioh may be
sooounted for from the fact that they were stand
ing near the sill along whioh the current passed.
We are glad to be able to state that all the
parties are doing well, many of them have about
recovered, and the others are entirely ont of
danger. There were some remarkable phenom
ena oonneoted with this Ead affair whioh we
have not space to deaoribe. One of tbe most
remarkable installoe was, that upon the arm of
one of the young ladies an oak leaf and blossom
wero daguerreotyped with remarkable minute-
ness. It was gradually disappearing, but oonld
be clearly distinguished late Monday evening.
The body of the young lady who was killed re
mained warm until aloDg m the evening, and
some hope was entertained that she might be
revived, but all efforts proved unavailing.
The Federal Jury List.
The Savannah News of Wednesday publishes
a full list of the oountles composing the South
ern Judioial Circuit of Georgia, and also of the
five hundred persons who have been selected as
the panel from which to draw juries for service
at the present term of the Federal Court at Sa
vannah. If there are one hundred or even aev-
enty-flva persons on this panel who are not
Radicals, white or black—judging by our knowl
edge as to the list for some counties—we are
greatly in error. Comment is entirely unnec
essary. The threat made last fall by a Radical
sheet published here at that time, and whose
editor was one of the men who made up this
panel, in reference to the composition of the
next jury to the Federal Court, has been fully
oarried out. We subjoin a partial list of the
oountles and ths names of the persons drawn in
each. The letter o opposite a name indicates

HIDNIUHT DISPATCHES.
The Reason Why It Was Postponed.
Washington, May 2.—The reason for the
postponement by the Supreme Oonrt to-day of
the application of oonnsel far Warmoth for the
allowanoo of an appeal from the decision of
Judge Darell in the Louisiana cate was, that the
conrt had nothing bnt the application before it,
and therefore oonld not aot. Oonnsel was
'granted leave to file records and other
papers in tbe oase preliminary to it*
consideration. Several eminent lawyers prac
tising before the. oonrt are of the opinion
that the Supreme Oonrt will not immediately
aot npon the anbjeot at the Fall term, to
whioh it has been adjourned, bnt will delay it
in order to give Congress another opportunity
to aot npon the snbjeetof Louisiana compli
cations as a political question, thus removing
it from Judicial review. A number ol impor-
tant oases went over until tha next term.
lewTerk Money Matters.
New Yobe, May 1.—In addition to the nsnal
manipulations, a combination of oironmstanoea
tended to make money tight to day, tbe eity of
New York is paying $290,000 for interest and
other matured obligations, whioh necessitates
the calling in of loans to a large extent by
banka holding oity funds. This oallmg-in move
ment affeeted the bankers and brokers of Wall
street, who have been borrowing money from
designated depositors of the city. The pay-
ment of rents to day also involves large nums,
and this affeots the debtors’ class. Maoy mort
gages have to be settled in May, whioh is addi
tional osnae of distnrbaooe to-day. It is also
semi-monthly settling day among oonn'ry banks,
and the settlements result in heavy drafts on
the oity banks, temporarily ourtziiit g their
leDding ospaoity.
The payment of gold coupons to-day oanses
considerable sties of gold to bankers and bro
kers, whioh also absorbs money for the mo
menta The money whioh Wall street has tem
porarily been depri ved of trom the abovo oanses
will to time find Jts way back.

Tbe last Scrimmage with the Mottoes—
last or the Killed anil Wounded—Uttcat
Account of tbe Affair.
A San Francisco dispatch of tbe 29ih ultimo
says the total number of trcop3 engaged
amounted to sixty-^four, cf whom seventeen
are killed and sixteen wounded, besides five
are missing. The missing soldiers are, in all
probability, prisoners in tbe hands of tho Mo-
doca, and their death is certain, as no mercy
will be shown them by the savages.
The blundering movement made by Major
Green to ordering a reconnoisanco by daylight
is severely condemned, as it invited an ambnsh
attaok. The Modocs evidently saw the move
ment made by the troops from their cave, aud,
marching at double the speed of troops, reach
ed the bluff and awaited the arrival of the sol
diers unseen. Twenty-five Modocs were behind
the bioff, and aa the soldiers drew near they
leaped from their tunbnsh and fired a well-direct
ed volley, throwing the little army into confu
sion. The officers, while endeavoring to restore
order, piaoed .themselves in ('exposed positions
within range of the enemy and were shot down.
A portion of the troops behaved shamef ally, fly
ing in every direotion to make good their escape.
Battery A, Fonrth Artillery, nnderMa j. Thomas,
fonght with great bravery, and resisted the attack
of the Modoos to the last. All the commission
ed officers belonging to the battery are either
killed or wonaded, together with throe eer
geantg and two corporals. Three of the Modoc3
are snpposed to have been killed. The follow
ing is a list of the killed and wounded: Battery
A, fourth artillery, killed, Major Thomas, Lieu
tenant Howe, First Sergeant B. S. Burner, Ar
tificer John Parker, Bugler John Myron, and
Private John Collins; wonnded, Sergeant A.
Beck, shot twice, Corporal James Noble, Pri
vates Joseph Broderick and James McMillan ;
missing. Captain Arthur Cranston, Sergeant H.
Lilly, Corporal Lawrenoe Mooney, Privates J.
E. Alden and L. Bloom. Battery K. fonrth ar
tillery, killed. Privates Jas. Rouse, J. Ward, J.
Lpnch, M. Wailaoe; wounded, Lieutenant G. M.
Harris, Privates J. H. Jeffords, J. Higgins, W.
Murry, J. J. McLaughlin, F. Bolls. Company
O, twelfth infantry, killed. Colonel Wnght,
Corporal 8ta Oliir, Privates P. Boyle, F. Glebe,
Thos. Howard, B. Nnsham, F. Lynn; wounded,
First Sergeant Clinton, Sergeant Kennedy, Pri
vates Scuff, Buttle, Henhom, Murphy acd Van-
dewater.
The battlefield presents a horrible sight. In
one cavity there were found thirty soldiers deed
or wounded huddled together like sheep, while
in anoiher seven were fouad packed together in
a small spaoe, some being dead and others
badly wonnded. The Modoos burned and muti
lated several of the wounded who fell into their
hands. ■
Ohio Kurrux — Cleveland, April 29. — A
Youngstown, OhiOp dispatch says a gross out
rage was committed last evening at the Vienna
eoel shaft, aboat a bait a mile east of Vienna
Centre, on tbe house of John Oannif, a coal
miner who had gone into the bank. At abont
10:30 a number of men attacked his bouse with
stones and olubs, breaking to the windows and
doors, and patting himself and family to great
peril from the missiles. - One of his boarders
fired at the attacking party and they fled. The
darkness prevented their being reoognized.
Oannif was one of about twenty old miners who
went to on Friday. He and others have been
threatened with in jory if they went in. Some
twenty miners who agreed to go to this morning,
wen deterred by the outrage and the threats
posted upon their gate poets and houses.

Tlie New Bishop of Savannah.
A Baltimore dispatch to the Herald of the

H. Gross as Bishop of Savannah, at the Cathe
dral in that city, says the new Prelate was born
in Baltimore cn the 12th of June, 1837, and is
probably the youngest Bishop in tbe United
Statea. His preparatory Btudies were made in
Sta Charles’ College, the Petit Seminary of St.
Surplioe, at Eilioott’a Mills. In 1857 he entered
the novitiate of tbe Bedemptorists, at Annapolis,
made his profession of religion in this order on
the 4th day of April, 1838, was ordained by
Archbishop Kenrick, March 21,18C3, so that to
day, after little over ten years’ labor as a devout
and zealous priest, he is elevated to the high

SYMPTOMS OF CHRONIC CATARRH.
BY DR. J. A. JONES.
T HE above cut represents DR. JONES’ new
method of curing diseases of tbe Lange and
Throit. Aetbme, Broaohioe, Trschotis, LayringeU
is. Consumption, Enlarged Tonsils, Pleuntis,
breaking up Congestion of tbe Longa and Liver,
and effochuK cures of the Respiratory Organs with
certainty and ease, that cannot be reached by any
other method.
Hia remedies are reduoed to warm spray—are
specific in their nature; they reach tbe whole dis
eased sarface at every breath; they are carried di
rectly into the blood without baring to go through
the process of digestion; ouly certain prepared
remedies can be used by this system
A few so-called family doctors are experimenting
with the Inhaler and their Caustic*, iodines ana
other reiioe of b&rb&ru-m peculiar to that practioe—
the result is, they aro destroying tho reputation of
tho only system that will cure Throat Diseases.
Only certain mild remedies can be tak* n into tbs
Lungs and they ate not kept by druggists nor known
to tbe general profoeakm;
lbt. Of the head—hoavy, daft, aching over tha
eyes, Bometimoc extending Lack through different
parts of tho ho&d, aad c&nring a weight or heal, of
coldnees on top of the head, snapping and crack
ing noise in the oars, dullness cf hearing—often
tbe secretion collect a in middle ear, closing up tbe
eustachian tubes, producing deafness—tho lining
membrane being the samo from the head through
tha whole alimentary canal, and dewa into the
lnngs, it livi bnt to extend itself to affect the whole
syatem. It becomes virulent iu tho nrue $ome-
times. causing a ton lerness, or producing offensive
breath, discharge a of yellowirh matter and scabs
tbe shape of the noetrile, or if tho partition bone
is only affected, then the Ischara aro flat, and
when they discharge, which ia generally after exer
tion, the nose i« open, tho patient breathes more
easily and tho bead feels more cloar—the heavi
ness over thoeyoa and a.-rotb the forehead U sel
dom entirely gone, but it is aggravated by every
fresh cold. The offensive smell for which the un
fortunate chows many kinds of drug* to nentraliao
or destroy, ar d thereby bo enabled to go into soci
ety without being a positive nuisance, which per
sons of both sexes are, on aooonnt of this barbar
ous and offensive disease, called OZOENA, which
has now ashamed a Tertiary form of cancer, des
troying everything but the outside skin, letting
the nose sink in, extending to the throat, destroy
ing the voice, etc t when the disease is called.L a

in the Urinary Organs, (acd in women, nearly tbe
whole train of female diaeases), and general Con
sumption, emaciation, complete prostration, eto.
with all of which, and many othor symptoms, call
ed by twenty different names, tbe sufferer may ex
ist for a while. Dr. Jones cures this dangerous
and insidious disease by the xErien System—using
specific medicines known only to himself, applied
to tha diseased surface, in the form of spray. He
relieves tho sufferer in a few minutes, and sup
plies the patient with all that is required to finish
tho cure at homo.
OZOENA,

gious. It often extends to tbe thro&t. producing
Hoarsenobs, Bronchitis and CONSUMPTION. I*

NOSE and THROAT when too long neglected. DR.
JONES is the ONLY Physician in tbe United Slates
who thorough y understands curiDg this dangerous
and offensive aitiease. He do^troys tho offensive
smell in FIVE MINUTES, and relieves the sDffor-
er in every way AT ONOK, and O UBE3 the di&easa
in a short time. For this disease Dr. Jones bas
epGcial instruments with which toapp’y hia specific
remedies to tho spot. Nasal Do chbs and catarrh
remedies'generally drive this disease to the lunge
moro quickly.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.
Prevalent in Amorica and Europe.
1. Op the Head.—Tingling, itching, with a sense
of dryness and obstruction of the uoho, sneezing,
running of a watery secretion; as it progresses,
the secretion becomes mucous, entire obr.true.ion
of ono or both nostrils, hawking, tickling ot the
throat, coughing, etc. 2. Catarrh of tho Chest pre
vails as an epidemic eemetimes, and is called influ
enza; with or with: it fever, s^d many of tho
symptom! juot montionod; there is oppression
across the breast, rawness and turning ot the
throat, first dry, afterward a copious secretion of
micous, which may become opaque or frothy, dif
ficulty of breathing, pain in mo head, and dull
feolinga, a senso of soreness, extending under tho
breast bono to tho £tomaeh-pii; the fits of coach
ing may occasion vomiting, oppression, prostra
tion; as tho disease progresses, the sputa becomes
ropy and viscid. This disease is called the Gnppe
Ly B'.r.u. Catarrhal Inflammation cf the eyeu
arises from colds, causes obstruction of the ear
passages, watery eyes, fistula, lachrjinalis, dimness
of vision, eto.
SUPPRESSED CATARRH may produce inflam
mation of tho lungs, brain or eyes, or give rise to
rheam&tism. nervous disorders, woeping, moaning,
tremors and convulsions, drowsiness, chilliness,
starting, twitching, palpitation of the heart, etc.
When the frontal sinuses abovo the ty6a, post oner
and anterior nasal pass&gos, become clogged up,
and even tho antrum or cavity of tho cheek
boLe becomes filled, or partly, it often'
produces a pressure on the nerves that
supply these parts, and pains like the
most cxcrntiating neuralgia ia- tho result. The
disease follows tho mucous membrane through tho
eustachian tubes to all parte of tbo same mem
brane of the ear, causing hypertrophy of the drum,
interferes with tbe functions of the glands of
Whiirton, which secrete the wax: a dxynfces follows,
hardness of hearing, io&riag, buzzing, singing,
whistling, cracking, the ringing of bells, and «<mi-
lar noiees, which vary, and which are simple effects,
and when the canio is removed, the effects os aee ;
this hardness of hearing increases with each cold.
Dr. Jones has made old standing diseases of
every name a speciality all his life. He is well pre
pared, and perform* all the more diffionit and del
icate operations in surgery, especially of the eye,
ear and nose. He is a graduate of the best medi
cal colleges in Europe and America, and his diplo
mas proving the same are suspended in his office.
Cs9~ Letters containing one dollar will be an
swered.
Dr. Jones’ fees vary from f 40 to $9060. His
terms are cash. His fees are considered very low
for the great amount of good he does.
Opthalmia, or Sore Eyes
Of these there are nine structural varieties, each
of which have peculiarities, but are very much
alike in many respects, and are cured by Dr. Jones
without burnings or caustics of any kind, in from
twenty-fonr hours to a month or two. The paties
need not be with him bnt an hour in any case.
Strabismus, or Cross-Eyedncs?
Is a a contraction of one or more of the mnsclos of
tho oye; it is remedied by dividing tbe mntcle
which is contracted; is attended with no danger
and is on the snrfaco of tho eyeball; we can re
store all such cases to tboir natural appearance and
sight b/ a skillful operation which we have per
formed eleven hundred times in twenty years, and
in which we are always successful, aa in ftd, we
are in all delicate and difficult operations whioh WQ
