The Rhode Island elections have gone
for the wings by overwhelming majori-
ties.
The locos are growing over New
Hampshire. That is sensible. The sew
en- states which stuck to Little Van in
the last election, are all they have to
crow over, and they may we'll make the
most Of it. They have carried New
Hampshire, and another little place in
New York-no doubt Of il.
We have no news from the Virginia
election, which took place on the third
Thursday in April last. A triumph of
the locos in that state is to be expected !;
but, we think, by diminished MAORI
ties.

DIR. MOhat's vegetable Life
Pills & Phoenix Bifters.

Every where acknowledged as the
best OF all the numerous medicines that
are offered TO the public. DIR Moffat's
Life Pills and Phenix Bitters are daily
and hourly sustaining the sound rcputa,
tion which they have honestly and unos
tentaiiously acquired. No person ever
yet took them even for short period,
without being SO perfectly satisfied with
their effects upon himself, as to recon-
mend them to others.
The Life Medicines are also most
excellent reliefin affections of the Liver
and Bowels, as has been proved in hun
dreds ofcases where patients have come
forward and requested that their expe-
rience in taking them might be publish
ed for the benefit Of others. In their op-
Grafton in such cases, they restore :he
tone of the Stomach, strengthen the d.
gestive organs. and lnvigorate the gen
eral functions ofthc whole body, & thus
become to both sexes (for they are per-
fectly adapted to each) an invaluable
means of preventing disease and restor-
ing health.
In affections Of the Head, whether ac-
companied with pain and giddiness, or
marked by the grievous calamity of i'm
paired mental energy; in palpitaiions Of
the heart, fatulence, loss ofappeliie and
strength, and the multiplied symptoms
of disordered digestion, the Life Medi-
cines will be found 10 possess the most
salutary efficacy.
Constitutions relaxed, weak, or de-
cayed, in men or women, are under the
immediate influence Of the life medicines.
Old coughs, asthmas, and consumptiYe
habits are soon relieved and speedily
cured. Poverty of blood, and emacia,ed
limbs will ere long meet the happiest
change; the chill, watery fluid will be-
come rich and balsamic, and The limbs

health.
For weakness, deficiency of natural
strength, and relaxation of the vessels

Obituary.

DIED, at his residence on the planta-
ton Of Thos. B. Watson, Esq, on Sat
urday last, Col. WILLIAM RlvEs, a ma
tive Of Georgia, and for several years
past, resident of this county.
Col. Rlves was one of the oldest and
most respectable citizens Of our count :.
He had in abundance all those qualities
that ennoble human nature, and ensure
the respect and love of good men. His
heart was kind; his disposition open,
brave, and disinterested. Perhaps few
men ever lived more free from selfish
ness than the deceased. He lived more
for his friends than he did for himself,
and would at any time have sacrificed
his life for their safety. His actions
werepure representatives ofhisthoughts.
The child-like simplicity of his DISPOSE
ton, made him ignorant Of all disguise
or deceit. If an honest, brave, disinter-
ested, patriotic citizen is a loss to our
community, such loss we have sus-
tanned. His death will spread gloom
over the hearts ofall his friends, and
the hearts of all his acquaintunces, ca
pable of appreclaiing that which makes
human character glorious. He died as
he lived, facing the horrors of death
without an emotion of fear, confidently
relying upon the honesty and purity of
his life, and his faith in the religion of
Christ, as his passport to happiness.

in some sulphuric acid, which, though the
most volatile of bodies at common tenn
peralure, will be found to become COM
pletely fixed in hot crucibe, and not

touch the sides.-A few drops of water
are now introduced, when the acid i'm

ed sides of the crucible, flies off in sui
phurous acid vapor, and so rapid is its
progress that the caloric of the water pass
es off with it, which falls lump of ice

prince will be safe upon his throne; and the So

PoSrIAc, His, Nov. 18th, 1914.
N,swS. Edit0rS-There is scientific corps OF
gentlemen now operating in this county, whose
wonderful talents the public should no, remain in
ignorance of. The leader is gentleman from
Ohio, who arrived here in Sept. last. AS have
not seen any reports IN the public journals Of his
native state Of his operations, | am led to con-
clude that his mysterious art is yet in its infan-
cy, but from all accounts it is making rapid strides
towards maturity, and if the end should prove
worthy Of his Efforts, there is prospect that "Lit-
tie Livingston" will yet be one of the richest and
most consequential counties in Suckerdom. But
to come TO the point. The operators have glass

Singular Afair.-We learn from gentleman
who came from Ottawa, Illinois, day or two
since, that a man on his way to Chicago, stopped
at an inn about 20 miles from the former place tc
stay all night. During the evening he became
insane, and started from the house across the prai
RE, in severe storm which was raging at the
time, without hat or clothes. He has not been
heard of since. His trunk and clothes are still al
the inn; the initials L. W. H. are on the trunk
and some of the clothing. He is supposed to
have been halter from st. Louis, on his way to
some of the eastern cities.
The man spoken of above was found dead on
the prairie few miles from the inn where he had
stopped, and an inquest was held over his body
by our coroner on the 10Th inst. A large gold
ring worth S. or $40, and S31 in money were
found on his person. He had also with him q
trunk, which has not yet been opened. The St
Louis New Era says his name is Ed,cin w. Har'
ringto1, that he is an old citizen and halter o.
that city, that he left there about four weeks since
on his way to Baltimore, and that he has left Q
wife and family in that city.
His friends can hear further concerning him by
addressing Thomas Lolng, Coroner, Ottawa.

Burning Of Providence Theatre.-
This morning at about ten minutes past
l o'clock, we were reused by the cry of
fire. 1t was discovered in the wooden
addition 10 the Theatre, which stands on
Dorrace street. The scenery and fixtures
of the Theatre, the splendid Planetarium,
built by Mr.. Russell of Ohio, on which
he bestowed the labor of 20 years, was
destroyed. Paintings, valuable views Of
the heavens, diagrams and instruments Of
great value blonging 10 DR.. Lardncr, were
consumed.
We endeavor TO ascertain the value of
the properly destroyed; the Planetarium
was insured for $4,000, Its estimated
value was $4,000: the value of Dr..
Lardner's apparatus depended much upon
the time and labor, which he himself
spent upon its construction, but we learn.
that independent of these, the actual cap
ital expended upon it amounted from 7 to
$4,000. Mr.. Haswell lost $4,000. No
insurance. -Transcript.
