FIREMEE's ANNUAL CELEBRATIoN.-The gallant

terday in full force, participating 10 their annual

c'son, and all seemed to enjoy themselves finely.
The procession was formed on Broad street, and
marched through the principal streets, then termi-
mating on the Square, where it was dismissed We
think it invidious TO speak Of any Que company 10

great that "nature will re fuse to extingush" the
enthusiasm. The festivities Of the day we're closed
BY several balls in different portions Of the city.

Missouri ELECTioS.-The contest between
Stewart (dern.) and Rollins TX. \. is so close
in Missouri, that it viii be necessary to await
The official returns TO know positively who
IS elected. The St. Louis Democrat claims
confidently the election Of Rollins by 600
majority, while the Republican is equally
confident that Stewart is elected by at least
500 majority.
The fusion press have sent UP shout OF
eloriication over the supposed election Of
Rollins, claiming it as free soil triumph.
The only foundation for the claim, however,
is that the leaders of the emancipation party
in st. Louis supported Rollins. in preference
to Stewart, not because the former was more
friendly to their principles than the latter,
but because their sympathics, like all other
Republicans was with the Hindoos rather
than the Democrats. Rollins in his speeches
on the stump constantly declared bis oppo-
sition 10 emancipation, and all agitaiOrs Of
the slavery question" while lie boosted that
he owned between twenty and thirty slaves,
while lie urged it as a reproach against his
opponent, that having the means, hc had
yet been so long resident Of the State
without ever having owned Niger"

The IIIPPoCRATrC OATH.-The oath which
old Doctor Hippocrates administered to his
disciples has come down to us in the Latin
translation of CeSus,-the same oath, with
slight variations, such as the omission of the
names of the heather deities &c, now be-
ing taken by every regular graduate in Eu-
rope and the United States. Hippocrates is
"the Father of Medicine" and fourished
400 yrs. before Christ. The following is the
oath, the substance of which was taken by
Dr. Uhl, as before referred to:
81 swear by Apollo, by Esculapius, by
Hygeia, and the other gods and goddesses
of medicine, to keep religiously the solemn
promise to which l bind myself l shall
look upon that man as my father who shall
have instructed me in the art of healing |
shall bring all all my knowledge to bear in
aiding his necessities in every respect.
shall consider his children as mine, and
shall teach them medicine gratuitously, if
they desire to embrace that profession. l
shall act in the same way towards those
who shall be bound by the oath which |
take. Never will suffer myself to be indu-
ced to administer poisonous medicament,
or to produce an abortion. Ny
only aim will be to comfort and heal the
sick, to keep inviolate their confidence, and
to avoid even the suspicion of having abus.
ed it, especially in the case of women In
whatever position may find myself, will
preserve silence with regard to things which
judge ought to kept secret. May be a
religious observer Of my oath, receive the
fruit of my labors, and lead happy life,
constantly attended by public favor May
the contrary be my fate if become perur-

NEW SHOOTING iEoNs.-W cut the follow

OF the St. Louis Republican,:
4 few days since the Uon. Ti.oS. l.. Har-
rs showed US the most beautiful and perfect
rifle We bave ever seen. IL was presented
to him By the makers, Mcssrs. Schmidt Il
Lat nski, native Germans, residing in Bloom
ington in this State. 1t is constructed upon
the Prussian needle principle and is the first
instance of n discovery in this, Of the Prus-
sian invention. Large sums have been Of
fercd for this invention, both both By Eng
land and France, but no invention have been
found and Of the PrussiaD government has
hitherto kept il to profound secret. Messrs
Schmidt Il LateDshi have obtained a patent
for 1t in this country, and have furnished TO
the government number Of the rifles, which
have been tried at Governors Island with
complete success. Ii has been ascertained
that this rifle can ne fired from forty 10 fifty
times minute, or nearly every second
The oharse-powdcr, ball and cap-is all in
one cartridge, the cap fitting in the end of
the ball; attached to the side of the rifle is
a small lever, which throws Tic barrel for

trigger the needle passes through the pow

For the Free TTau
More about the Reapers.

Having seen in the number of the 10Th
notice of "Haines' Illinois Harvester" and
an error in relation to the num-
Der of hands required to operate that ma
chine, feel under obligations to correct it.
The number Of hands most commonly used
is six, as follows: one to operate the ma
chine, one to load, one to stack, and three
teams to draw the cut grain to the rick, with
one man to each, but think it will pay te
have one extra man to assist about the rick
ing, I am satisfied with this number of
hands. about 100 acres week can be cut
and r;cked nicely the harvest through.
I have this week visited Van Doren's new
shocking machine on the farm of Il. Muir
ray, Esq, and was happy to find them dong
their work Cutting and shocking at the
same tmc) in perfect manner. Some OF
the minor machinery, however, gave them
some trouble, but no more SO than could
reasonably be expected with new and expe-
rimental machines. They have, however,
fully demonstrated the feasibility OF cutting
and shocking grain at the same time with
the same machine, at cost, perhaps, one
half less than can be done with common
reaper, and the shocks have proven them
selves through the late heavy rains to be de-
cidedly better calculated to save well than
the common shocks, for on examination 1t is
found that they had received comparatively
no injury, while the common shocks are We
~ badly damaged !; perhaps it would not be
saving too much to set the damage sustained
in this county alone at $50 900, while if Van
Doren's Haine's machines had been used
instead of the common reapers, tins enor-
nous loss would have bee avoided. 1t is TO
be hoped this sad lesson will be remembered
by some, at least until time TO prepare for
next harvest.
There are objections to all reapers, espe-
cially to such as require any manual labor,
no matter how small the amount, therefore
we think Haine's and Van Doren's much less
Objectionable than any others, on this score,
as they evidently will save one-half the la
Dor. The objection to IIaine's is, it only
gives from 30 to 80 inches Of straw, besides
the danger of spelling in the stack, if it is
badly put up. The objection to Van Doren's
is, the shocks are left scattered over the
field therefore it cannot be plowed until the
shocks are removed, which cannot well be
done until it is threshed, while the price OF
wheat or other circumstances may make il
necessary to prolong threshing until the fol-
lowing winter, spring, or summer. The Oh
iections to the common mode OF harvesting
is, the immense amount % killing labor, the
immense quantity of wheat left scattered
over the ground, the danger Of spelling in
the shock, and the certainty Of spelling in
the stack if 1t is badly put up. IL.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF a SoHSAMBUIIsr.-
4 most melancholy accident occurred on
Tuesday night at metropolitan Hotel on
Randolph street. y young man named
Henry B!ahcsly, jumped from the window
Of his room, No. 81 on the fourth story and
fell upon the root of one Of the bul dings
on the premises, killing him instantly. Two
other gentlemen were sleeping in the room
at the time. and one OF them hearing a n Use
woke just in time to see him spring from
tie window in his Eight clothes. The bed
was pushed one side little, so hat he must
have jumped from the bed between 1t and
the wall. They Immediately, together with
the landlord of the house, went out and car
ried him into the house and DIR. Foster was
called, but the unfortunate man must have
died as soon as he struck the roof.
From the conversation held with several
acquainted with him and who had frequent
" slept with him, we learn that he was very
nervous in his sleep, and addicted to getting
up, so that in all probability the terrible fall
which so quickly hurried him out of exist
ence. was caused by a fit of somnambulism.
He must have struck upon his back, since
when found, the sixth and seventh vertebre
of the spinal column were dislocated. No
other bruises were found upon the body.
Coroner Hansen held an inquest yester-
day morning, and the jury returned a YER
diet in accordance with the above facts.
Deceased was a freight clerk at the Mil
waukee depot, and a promising young man.
He is spoken of in very high terms by those
who knew him. His parents reside in New
Haven, Conn, and he also has a brother
resident in Erie, Pa, who has been tele
graphed for.-Chi. Dem.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT TAKING OUT MANS
BRAIN. FIXING AND REPLACING 1.-THE Har-
risbursh Telegraph says that on Wednesday
night last canal boatman named Tomach, a
resident Of Loyalsock, Pa, while asleep on
the deck of his boat, came in collision with
a bridge near Highspire, which struck him
ON the back part Of the head, knocking
therefrom the perietal bone, which was
found shortly after as free from extraneous
substances as if it had been extracted by the
hands of demonstration of anatomy. The
wounded man was ofcourse instantly aroused
bv the conclusion, and what is most remark
able. rose to his feet, perfectly unconscious
of the extent of the injuries he had received
by the collision. The slight pain in the
back of the head gave no trouble whatever.
It was only after he had dressed himself, and
one of his comrades had found the bone on
deck. that he was made aware of the unfor
tunate mutilation Of his caput. After this
discovery the wounded man was taken to
Highspire, where Dr. Rutherford, of our city
was SUNNI ned, who after washing the mans
brain, and replacing it, and arranging the
splinters Of the adjacent parts of the skull in
proper manner, informed him that was all
he could do for him. With this the wound
ed man departed, in perfect rational state,
to his home at Loyalsock. We doubt ifthe
experience OF any member of the medical
profession can show a. similar case to the
Gazette.

Grading Fhur and Cram.

=
The board Of trade Of the city of Chicago
have had under discussion for the past week
or two a measure of much Importance to
our farmers and milIers. The object Is to
establish such a standard for merchantaoIe
-four and grain in that market that our west
ern gain, which has suffered so much IN re-
putation at the east On account oil bad clean
ing. shall hereafter go forward in such con-
dition as to give it good reputation and
bring what it is really worth. From the
published proceedings Of the board on the
subject, we gather that the standard for flour
has been made to correspond with the stand
ard in St. Louis, Boston, New York, and
Montreal-ports to which our -four is usual
Iy shipped, and that in fixing the standard
for wheat and corn the same rule has been
observed.
The operation Of this measure viii be,
that hereafter when load or lot Of flour or
grain is received in Chicago, it will be ex-
amined by an inspector employed by the
board of trade He.iuspccts and assigns the
grade to which it belongs, or If it comes in
too bad a condition to belong to either the
first or second grade, it will be rejected, and
the owner must take what he can get for it
Of such dealers as do not propose to ship it.
The following are the grades as establish
ed At a meeting Of the board on Monday,
but as there appears to be lack of unaniIni-
ty in the board on the subject, the matter
l. n I.f- 3. l
regarded as finally settled:

GEnRIT SMITH is losing confidence n the
capability of the negro race for becoming
frugal, industrious citizens. In recently
published letter he says:
His expectations in regard TO his gifts of
land to colored men have not been fully re-
allied. He says: Of the three thousand
colored men to whom gave land, probably
less than fifty have taken and continue to
hold possession of their grants. What is
worse, half the three thousand, as judge,
have either sold their land, or been so care
less as TO allow it to be sold for taxes"
