SUICIDE IN CHIcAGo.-About IL O'Clock, on
Saturday night last, respectablelooking man,
about 40 years of age, bald head and with
heavy sandy whiskers, entered the City Hotel,
in Chicago, and engaged a bed. He had no
baggage, but he handed a check for $21 on
L.: 70. Alexander Co., drawn by William II.
Williams, as security for his lodging. lie reg
istered his name as w. II. Watson, Buffalo,
and retired. On Sunday morning the cham
bermaid was unable to get into his room; Mr..
Somers (the prOpretor,) then went up and
knocked. Receiving no answer, he requested
a clerk to get on the roof and look through
the skylight; he did so, and saw that the stran-
ger was dead upon the bed. The Coroner was
summoned, the door broken open, and an in
quest held. The medical testimony establish
cd the cause of death as poison. There can be
no doubt, from the facts as elected in the evi-
dence, that the deceased has been peculiarly
and pecuniarily unfortunate, and sought this
means as the readiest to relieve himself of his
sufferings in this world, His name is unknown
AGE AND YOUTH UNITED.-Mrs. Margaret L.
Eaton, widow Of Gen. Jackson's Secretary Of
War, was married in Washington City, few
days since, to an italian dancing master, called
Sir Antonio Buckingham. The bride is over
| 90, the bridegroom %. The States says: The
lady will be recollecte1 by those who frequent
cd Washington during "the seasons" in the
course of the Presidency of General jackson,
as the brilliant wifo of his Secretary of War,
Gen. John ii. Eaton, Ito whom, she-then the
widow of the late Purser Timberlake-was
united, if we remember correctly, in 1929 or
1S3O,) in whose behalf the cold man of iron
will' separated from his first cabinet, on the
occasion of social difficulties in their families
The excursionists to Chicago arc thus spo-
ken of by the Dayton Empire, of Thursday;
Ten cars, we'll filed with passengers, came up
from Cincinnati this morning. The excur
sionists were met at the depot by very large
number of our citizens, who were curious to
see the largest number of persons ever before
starting out on lengthy railroad excursion.
Menter's band discoursed delightful music. A
locomotive, with eight cars, containing the
Dayton oxcursionists, and for the accommoda
tion OF guests along the line, started out some
twenty minutes in advance of the Cincinnati
train. 1t may we'll be called u monster ex-
cursion, and will give Chicago aud "interme-
diate points" some idea of the inhabitants OF
the great Valleys of the Ohio.
EFFECT OF PEDESTRIAN ExERcIsE.-A cele-
brated English physician says that pedes-
trlan exercise particularly exhausts the spine
and brain, and is, therefore, the kind of OK
ercise less suited to intellectually hard d-work-
ing men. 1t is on this account that horse
back exercise is the medicine IL is-the horse
having the fatigue, and the rider the exercise,
TO sufficiently jar and agitate the liver and
other internal organs, for some GONZALES
cents, the legs and loins must be overworked.
The thorough shake-up which is got in the
saddle is without effort, or with the effort Of
only such muscles as can best afford it and
the student-rider comes back with physical
forces all refreshed, beside the exhilaration
Of movement for the spirits and the change
of mind. .U
HYDRoPHoBIA.-In case any of our readers
should be bitten by a rabid dog, we will sub
join a. remedy: The very instant you are Bit
ten either by mad or any rabid animal, ap-
ply ligature by means Of a stick above the
wound as tightly as you can bear il, and with.
out any delay, cut out the parts bitten, taking
along with them portion Of the surrounding
flesh. Then cauterize the wound or have
spirits of turpentine freely poured over It.
Suppuration will soon follow from the constant
Inflammation, and all dreaded consequences
dissipatod. f- lp6 IlIIT'i'- \ -
A bill is pending In one of our Western
