Seasonable
We bought last week of one of the best manufactur
ers in cw England a large job lot, some six hundred
pairs, of Ladies' Fine French Kid Empress Ties and
Slippers, the same
at $2.00 and $2.50. In the lot are 78 pairs of French
IUd Low jgandftl Button and Ties that cost to make
three dollars each pair. It was'a clearing: out" purchase, the best we
have made this year. We have thrown them all into our windows at
one dollar and twenty-seven cents ($1.37). Ourpstomers have found
many bargains in large lots advertised at our store since January first,
but the French Kid Empress Shoes that we advertise this morning at
one dollar and twenty-seven cents will need no puffing in the papers
when once examined by our customers. We want to, andexpect to, sell
them within six days.

Haddam, Conn.
"Fim of L. Boardman & Son."
Db.E.B. Ltghthill :
My Dear Sir I take this method of expressing to
you my thanks for the success with which you treated
my son for catarrh and a chronic throat complaint
which affected his general health to ah alarming ex
tent. Tour treatment not only removed the local
difficulties but also restored his general health and
strength, as his improved appearance readily mani
fests. Under these circumstances I cheerfully offer
you this public testimony of your skill and success,
coupled with the assurance that I will always be hap
py to be of service to you and to recommend to you
any one afflicted with the diseases to which your prac
tice is connned and over which you have evidently
gained a complete mastery. Yours very truly,
IX. a BOAKDMAN.
East Haddam, Conn., June 18, 1880.',
From Mr. Clias. Boswell.
From the Hartford Courant, June 9.
During his practice in Hartford of nearly a year's
duration Dr. Lighthill has been the recipient of many
nattering testimonials of his ability and skill, but
certainly none of greater influence or importance
than the following card from Mr. Charles Boswell,
whose iiama is well known and whose word Is honored
not only here but throughout the State Testimony
of this character tends to confirm the high esteem in
which. Dr. Lighthill is so deservedly held in this com
munity: West Habtfobd, Conn., June 8, 1S80.
I take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Light
hill to those suffering from catarrh and throat affec
tions, having personally experienced the happy effects
of his skillful administrations.
. , , Cba. Bo6weiiv ,
From Wm. F. Barnard, Esq., Su
perintendent Five Points House
of Industry, New York.
No. 135 Worth St., Naw York, Jan. 18, 1878.
For several years I was afflicted with a severe form
of catarrh, and to such an extent that my hearing be
came impaired, and I was constantly troubled with
roaring sounds In my head. It also gave pise to a
troublesome cough, bronchial irritation, and pain in
my lungs. In fact, my condition was such that I felt
convinced, unless something was done for my relief, I
would soon be beyond euro. One physician thought
that eventually I would be stone deaf ; another gave
me his opinion that catarrh could not be cured, and
that I had to endure as best I could its pernicious
consequences. Finding the treatuent pursued of no
benefit. I placed myself under the professional care
of Dr. Lighthill, of No. 6 West 2Sth street, whose nu
merous indorsements for skill and success from well
known residents of New York city had been brought
under my notice. The result of his treatment has
been most beneficial. My hearing is perfect, the
noises in the head have ceased, the pain in my chest
has disappeared, the hponchial trouble is gone, and I
feel that I am substantially relieved of what threat
ened to be a most serious, if not fatal, disease I
therefore, cheerfully commend Dr. Lighthill for his
ability and skill, and fetel confident ttiat any similarly
afflicted will be benefited by placing themselves un
der his care. His treatment gives neither pain nor
distress, and can readily be borne by the most ner
vous person. WILLIAM F. BARNABD.
From Mr. I. W. Gallaudet, the
well-known Banker, Xo. 2 and 5
Wall Street, New York.
The unmistakable proofs which I hive of the mas
terly skill of Dr. Lighthill in the treatment of deaf
ness and catarrh, in a case where he succeeded after
some of our most celebrated physicians had complete

I testify with pleasure to the success which attend
ed Dr. Lighthills treatment in the case of my .brother
who had been affected with deafness and noises in
the head. The results of Dr. Lighthills applications
were as prompt as they were effective. The hearing
was restored, the noises removed, and the cure was as
radical as it has since proved permanent.

A BOSTON NOTION.
An experiment ia now in progress in Bos
ton which deserves the attention of all inter
ested in the poor and desirous of benefitting
them. This experiment is characterized by
true charity, and it is therefore pleasant to
know that it has been a snccess thus far, and
that it promises even better things for the
future. It is carried on in a large five-story
building, which goes by the suggestive name
of the "North End Bee-Hive," and an idea of
the magnitude of the work done may be
gained from the fact that the whole building
is required for it.
One of the featurss of the "Bee-Hive" is a
work-room for boys.- Here javery morning
and every afternoon about a dozen boys,
picked up out of the street, are busily en
gaged learning to use tools, under the direc
tion of a practical carpenter, a quiet man
with pleasant, kindly ways, and yet with an
amount of firmness and discretion which ren
ders him quite able to keep his little troop of
Arabs under good subjection. In the large,
cool workroom they work away like so many
beavers, getting so absorbed and interested
that they are sorry when the lesson time is
over, and they leave after their three hours'
labor is ended with real regret.' The work
hours in this, aj in all the departments, are
from nine to twelve in the forenoon and from
two to five in the afternoon.
On the same floor is the laundry, light,
airy and perfectly appointed, in charge of a
woman who is acquainted with the nicest de
tails of laundry work and capable of giving
instruction. Here poor women are taught to
wash and iron neatly, or, if they already
know the plain work, are allowed to do their
own . or other people's washing, paying a
small sum for soap, starch and fire. Many
mistresses send their servants here to learn to
do particular kinds of laundrying, and pay
twelve and a half cents an hour for the priv
ilege. On Mondays and Tuesdays the laun
dry is kept open in the evening for the nse
of working-women who are busy through the
day, and who may have the privilege of
bringing their soiled clothing here and wash
ing it themselves on the payment of five
cents an hour. The matron is always in
attendance to show those who do not un
derstand the work the proper mode of
doing it.
On the floor above are the agents' offices,
the reception room and an immense kitchen
and hall where Miss Parloa teaches two hun
dred poor women and almost as many young
girls how to cook simple, palatable and eco
nomical food. It is described as well worth
while to see the eagerness with which the
women and girls crowd to these lessons, and
above all to hear from their own lips tri
umphant accounts of their success at home
in what they have learned here. On another
floor is the sewing-room, where girls and wo
men are taught to mend neatly, to darn
stockings, to cut underclothing and dresses
and to make them properly, to cut and make
children's clothing, and to run sewing ma
chines. Opportunities are here given also
for women to purchase machines and pay for
them in work.
Above the workrooms are the kindergarten
and the nursery, the refuge of little ones
from the vile education and influences of the
streets. Everything here is sweet and clean
and pure, just the atmosphere in which chil
dren should be placed, and it is stated that
no nursery in the most luxurious home in the
city has more or better playthings than this
refuge for the children of the poor, and that
no kindergarten is more perfectly furnished
or has a more faithful teacher.
Other work of which we have not room to
speak is done in the ' 'Bee-Hive, " but enough
has been told to illustrate its general charac
ter and its possibilities for good. The "Bee
Hive" is making a vigorous attack upon shift
less poverty. No applicant for aid receives
anything without working or paying for it.
And it is doing what it can to help the poor
earn more and live better. Its charity bene
fits both the recipients of it and the public.
Therefore, may it live long and prosper.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
It is announced that Senator Conkling has
no intention of going to Europe this season,
as has been asserted by certain ill-informed
newspapers.
. Philadelphia is the city of homes, and most
of its homes are pretty comfortable ones,
too. As going to show this it may be stated
that of the 150,000 dwelling houses in the
city 00,000 are provided with bath tubs.
The San Francisco Chronicle hits the mark
when it says that were Garfield as much in
ferior to Hancock in qualifications for the ex
ecutive office as he is in fact superior to him
intelligent Republicans would feel it their
duty to stand by their party in the contest,
knowing as they do that an American Presi
dent does not and cannot control the govern
ment in opposition to the policy and tradi
tions of the political organization to which
he owes his election. This is a solemn and
an important truth. A vote for Hancock
means much more than a vote for a loyal
Union General.
General Hancock has a twin brother living
in Minnesota. When tsf two were young it
is said they looked so much alike that one
could not be told from the other. The New
Orleans Picayune fears that some opposition
paper will come out with the startling state
ment that the boys were mixed in the cradle,
and that the .presidential, nominee is his
brother, and not Winfield at alL The Pica
yune need not be alarmed. If there is any
doubt raised as to General Hancock's iden
tity a reference to "General Order No. 40"
will settle it. This country never produced
two men capable of such a statesmanlike
order.
France is at present suffering from a
plague of wolves, no less than half a million
of these animals being estimated to exist in
that country W the present moment. The
damage inflicted by them in their nocturnal
raids from forest and mountain is estimated
at about 60,000,000 francs annually. The
large number of wolves is the more surpris
ing aa a regular body known -aa the Laure-
terie, and numbering close upon 1,000 men,
is maintained specially to keep down wild
beasts ; but from the returns published it
appears that only 355 wolves were killed in
1879. Two bills have been introduced on
the ' subject, and it is proposed to place a
high price on the head of each wolf as
high as 200 francs in the case of a known
"man-eater."
The reports from Indiana continue encour
aging. Hon. E. W. Keightley has returned
to Washington from a visit to the State, and
he says the Republicans there are very con
fident of victory. The leading Democratic
newspapers of the State now admit that the
decision of the State supreme court over
throwing the amendments to the constitution
has! been very hurtful to the Democratic
prospects. The Republicans are preparing
for an aggressive campaign on this issue.
They will show that the direct expense to
the State of an election in October will be
over a hundred thousand dollars, while the
indirect expense will be far greater, and
thai it was deliberately put upon the people
by k Democratic supreme court for a purely
Democratic partisan purpose. As these
amendments were adopted by the aid of from
twenty to forty thousand Democratic voters
Istfijf with fh "Republican party in favor
them, it is evident that the Republicans will
profit by the partisan act by which the will of
the majority was defeated.
Those who have not yet decided where to
spend their summer vacation would do well
to read the advertisement of "The Suitem
House" which is going the rounds. This
hotel is situated at Saponaceous Springs, N.
J., and Strive A Sweat are the proprietors of
it. It has been built and arranged- for the
especial comfort and convenience of sum
mer boarders. On arrival, every guest
will be asked how he likes the situation,
and if he says the hotel should have been
placed upon the knoll, or farther down
toward the village, the location of the house
will be immediately changed. Corner front
rooms, up only one flight, for every guest.
Bath, gas, hot and cold water, laundry, tele
graph, restaurant, fire alarm, barroom, daily
paper, sewing machines, grand piano and all
other modern conveniences in every room.
Waiters of any nationality, color or college
desired. Every waiter furnished with a libret
to, button-hole bouquet, full dress suit, ball
tablet and his hair parted in the middle. Ev
ery guest will have the best seat in the dining
hall and the best waiter in the house. Any
guest not getting his breakfast red hot, or ex
periencing a delay of sixteen seconds after
giving his order for dinner, will please men
tion the fact at the office, and the cook and
waiter will be blown from the mouth of a
cannon in front of the hotel at once. Chil
dren will be welcomed with delight, and are
requested to bring hoop and hockey-sticks to
bang the carved rosewood furniture, especial
ly provided for that purpose, and peg tops
to spin on the velvet carpets. A discreet
waiter, who belongs to the Masons, Odd Fel
lows and Knights of Pythias, and was never
known to even tell the time of day, has been
employed to carry milk punches and hot tod
dies to ladies' rooms in the evening. The
proprietor will take it as a personal affront if
any guest on leaving shall fail to dispute his
bill, tell him he is a swindler, his house a
barn, his table wretched, his wines vile, and
that he, the guest, was never so imposed upon
in his life, will never stop there again, and
means to warn all his friends.

Hf Lady Gallantly Rescued Five Com
panions from Drowning At Klgnt in
tlie Passaic Almost Fatal Result from
the Collision of Two Pleasure Boati.
From the New York Herald
About six o'clock on Tuesday evening a
party consisting of thelMisses Goodsil, Ayate
and Tate, Mr. Frederick Hemming, of No. 5
Wall street, New York, and Mr. B. Preston
Willingham, of the firm of Kinshudst & Co.,
of New York.fstarted from Oriental Cottage,
near the Rutherford Park Hotel, on the Pas
saio river, for a row to Belleville. The time
on the out and homeward trip was pleasantiy
whiled away in singing and merry talk, and
though the sun had long since set and the
thick darkness come down on the river long
before they neared the finish of their jour
ney, the voyagers had no fear of danger, as
at that hour of the night for it was fully
J-P88 aiu. o'cltyk -yar fancied them
seltes alone upon the river. In" the middle
of a merry song and chorus, without a mo
ment's warning for none of the occupants
of the boat had seen the craft that was rapid
ly approaching in an opposite direction an
other rowing boat came crashing into them.
In the confusion that ensued the boat capsiz
ed, and in an instant the five voyagers, who,
but a moment before, were heartily joining
in a mirthful chorus, were struggling for dear
life in the deep waters of the Passaic. The
first instinct of each of the party was to en
deavor to gain a hold on the bottom of the
boat, and this they all momentarily succeed
ed in doing. The gentlemen are both exper"
swimmers ; but of the ladies Miss Goodsil
alone is mistress of the natatory art. In re-I
sponse to the screams for help that assailed
their ears on all sides and guided chiefly by
their sense of hearing, for the darkness was
so intense as to obscure all surrounding ob
jects, Messrs. Hemming and Willingham,
aided by Miss Goodsill, swam hither and
thither, guided by the sound of the pleading
cries for succor of the sinking women, until
there was a deathlike silence on the water
save for the half-choked sobs of the distraught
ladies, who, guidid by their I rave saviors (O
the boat's side, clung on with desperation to
any protuberance on its hull.
AN ADDITIONAL CHANGE.
On calling a muster to make sure that all
their party was safe, Mr. Hemming found
that Mr. Willingham and himself had two ad
ditional charges on their hands in the Misses
Olsell and Story, of New York, who, with
Colonel Dely, of Boston, and a Spanish gen
tleman named Ferrars, had been the occu
pants of the boat with which they had col
lided. These ladies had also been thrown in
to the river at the moment of the collision,
and had then lost sight of their escorts whom
they hod seen no more. During the terrible
moments that immediately succeeded the
catastrophe, nothing was seen or heard of
those t-vo gentlemen. All that is known is
that they got safely ashore. When and how,
there was, up to the time Messrs. Wellingham
and Hemming left Passaic yesterday morning
at half-past eight, no information forthcom
ing. Certain it is that the ladies under their
care owe their safety wholcly and solely, as
do those who were in the other boats, to tha
above-named gentlemen and Miss Goodsill.
"We cannot hold on."
The boat capsized as it was, and swinging
to and fro under the grasp of the eight terror-stricken
men and women, soon proved
but a broken reed for at least some of the
party to depend upon. "We cannot hold on
any longer," simultaneously cried two of the
ladies. Brave as they proved themselves the
hearts of the men quailed within them as'they
listened to. as it seemed to them, the dying
words of at least two of their little party.
Tlipn ATicb t ! n.f! 1 1 i.-li i li o il fhrniKrliniit
maintained the utmost composure, was qqiml
to the occasion, and her quick woman's wit
suggested a plan that saved every soul alive.
"If you cannot swim, girls," she said, as
calmly as though she were bathing in shallow
water at Manhattan Beach, "you can tread
water. Now keep cool and we will get safe
to shore." Then the heroic girl instructed
the two men to take Miss Olsell, who was the
weakest of the party, between them, and to
give their disengaged hands to two of the oth
er ladies ; she took the other one in hand,
and the whole party joined hands, letting the
boats drift away, and, acting under the or
ders of the noble girl, trod the water as best
they could in what they judged to be the di
rection of the shore. But again the terrified
women cried that they were sinking, and yet
again Miss Goodsill was equal to the occasion.
rihe instructed the three well-mgh exhausted
girls to place one hand on each of the gentle
men's hips and the other on their shoulders ;
then encouraging both men and women by
the assurance that they must speedily make
the shore she trod the water as did the two
men, and slowly made their way toward the
river's bank. But Miss Olsell, thoroughly
unnerved by the fearful ordeal, soon declared
herself to be incapable of the little exertion
needful to hold on to Mr. Willingham and
cried that she must let gojher hold. -
A LIFE SAVED.
"Give her to me ; I am strong enough to
swim ashore with her, and then I will come
back to you," rang out Miss Goodsill's voice;
and notwithstanding that Messrs. Hemming
and Willingham begged to undertake the per
ilous task, the lady would not listen to their
entreaties. "Your place is with the women,"
she cried ; "keep them afloat till I get back,
and never fear but we will all yet get safe
ashore. " Then placing one arm firmly round
her almost lifeless charge she struck out bold
ly with the disengaged hand for the river's
bank. Terrible to the little band struggling
for life in the water were the next five min
utes, as their companion with her precious
burden fought her way to a place of safety.
Slowly the sullen plash, as the brave girl's
arm cleft the river's bosom, grew fainter and
fainter. Then all was still, and then across
the dark water came the clear treble notes of
the brave girl's voice, "All's well !" Again
the monotonous Splosh, splash, announced
that their Grace Darling was making her way
back to them, for this girl's heart was cast in
no common mould, and though she had al
ready risked her young life in saving that of
a stranger, and well earned the safety she
had gained, she was back again to the rescue
of those who were still battling with the dark
waters of the Passaic. Her return nerved
the little band to renewed efforts. A place
was made in the ring for the dauntless girl,
and, cheered by her hopeful words and brave
presence, the whole party soon reached the
land in safety. They landed quite near to
Oriental Cottage, whither they managed to
drag themselves, and then fell utterly ex
hausted to the ground. Messrs. Hemming
and Willingham arose yesterday morning phy
sically little the worse for the terrible ordeal
they had passed through, but the agony of
mind endured during that forty-five minutes
passed in the water will not be so easily oblit
erated. Miss Goodsiil came up to New York yester
day morning to -assure her friends of her
safety ; but two of the ladies were so thor
oughly exhausted that they remained under
the care of a medical man at Oriental Cottage,
who, however, pronounced their ailments as
nothing beyond the natural consequences of
so severe a shock to the nervous system.
Mr. Willingham and Mr. Hemming were
found late lost night at Noble's Mansion,
Washington Heights. Both gentlemen were
averse to speaking at all on the matter, but
eventually Mr. Willingham, on finding that
the facts were public property, gave the par
ticulars as detailed above. Speaking of the
bravery displayed by Miss Goodsill, he said :
"I could not have believed it possible that
a woman was capable of exhibiting such cool
ness and bravery. She is the most noble and
self-sacrificing of women."
