DEATH OF SIDNEY C. BURToN-The Cleve-
land Herald announces the death of this gen.
tleman, who has acquired so much notoriety
from his connection with the Martha Wash
ington trials. He died on Tuesday morning.
The Herald says:
Mr.. Burton has sacrificed himself in his Her.
culean efforts to ferret out iniquity. Even if
it cannot be made to appear that he was poi
soned by the gang of knaves whose tracks he
has SO long followed, it is certain that his ox-
posures the dangers he has undergone, and
the excitement he has consequently endured,
have wrecked as good a constitution as ever
man was blessed with. We believe, however,
that he has fallen by the murderer's hands;
that In some way he was poisoned, although
Burton's abstemious habits almost defed all
attemt Is TO give him deadly drinks.
Whine sick in New York, glass of wine
was sent TO him, with the regards of the land
lady, but as Burton never drank wine or spir-
its, it was untouched, although no design was
suspected. 1t turned out that the landlady
did not send it. and, moreover, upon an analy-
cation it was found to contain poison enough
to kill three men.
But Burton is bepond the reach of further
harm, and with him has passed away geaer-
Gus, an unselfsh, a high minded man. No
one would sacrifice more for friend than Sgd
ney c. Burton, and none will be greater loss
to an attached family
Mr.. Burton carved out his own way was
man ofmost active mind, naturally of a high
order Of talent, enterprising beyond what some
might call prudence, persevering and never
discouraged.

Neptune Fire Co. Festival.

This old 'stand by'' Company, the Neptunes,
will give Festival next Christmas Eve, at
Crescent Hail. Great preparations are being
made to render this Festival one of the most
attractive entertainments of the season. The
individual members are now actively engaged
in arranging the preliminaries, and the result
of their labors will be, we are sure, a splendid
affair. The last annual Festival of this Com
pany was a marked feature of the winters
amusements, but it was small affair to what
this will be. The order of dances mas been
arranged and we are glad to find among them
full share of the good old fashioned quadrilles
or cotillions so that none may be scared away
with the idea that none bat the fancy dances
will be popular said EVENING" Crescent Hall
will be handsomely decorated on the evening
of the Festival, and the Committee of managers
will give their personal attention to the pleas
ure of both citizens and strangers magniff-
cent supper will be spread in the large room
lately occupied by Sweet & Leonard, beneath
the Hall. The providing of this supper has
been entrusted to an experienced caterer, who
will illustrate just what can be done in this
line, by one who knows how to do it, We
trust Crescent Hall will be crowded on that
night. The proceeds will be spent fer that
which is matter of interest to every property
holder FOR every property holder is interested
in everything appertaining to increasing the
facilities for the protection of property in our
midst The Neptunes stand ready to do their
duty wholly and fully in the hour of danger
Now do your duty by them.
