CAUSE OF Mn. HueHs DEATH The sudden
demise Of Mr.. Joseph Hughs caused surprise
as well as profound regret throughout our City
and neighborhood, and great curiosity has been
expressed in regard to what was the mm ediate
cause Of his death. A post mortem examina.
tion Of the body disclosed the fact that his death
was occasioned by strangulation and mortif
cation Of about two feet of intestine which had
passed under a dense 6brous band, half an
inch in width and about two and half inch
es in length. One end Of this band was ats
tached to the lower an anterior portion of the
spine, and the other TO the outer wall of the
abdomen nearly opposite the hip joint. This
firm band in front, and the arch of the hip
from behind, formed an oblong slit or open
ing about an inch in the centre through which
the intestines was protruded in his fall from
his carriage house. on Friday morning last, i'm
mediately after which he was taken to his bed
1t thus appears that his old rupture had moths
ing to do with his death, as has been generally
reported; on the contrary the point Of structure
was in Immediate contact with the ermination
Of the back bone, and was in such position as
to preclude the possibility Of a successful opera
tion at any time. We gather this information
from the physicians engaged in the examina>
tion, and it may be relied on.

FIRr LAST NieHT.-Last night about mid.
night fire was discovered in the shop Of Mr..
VIM Hornell. next door to the Canal Hotel, Cd
street, near the canal. The fire damaged the
lower story Of the house considerably, yet by
the active exertiOns Of the 6remen, the house
with its contents was saved. It is believed
that the fire was communicated 10 the roo IN by
a stovepipe which was very poorly secured.

DEATB LURKs IN rHE LAMP!-The New York
Post says 1t has seen the fragments Of lamp which
exploded few days ago and caused An accident,
resulting fatally. The lamp is one of the small
bedroom bell-shaped lamps in use in so many
families. Il is furnished with two tubes and a
small handle. In the case TO which we allude q
young girl residing in Brooklyn used the lamp on
retiring. As the flame was Aeeidently sxtinguish-
Cd, she stepped into an adjoining room to relight
the lamp from q burning gas jet. The moment
she applied the wick to the flame the lamp ex-
plOded, the bottom coming out completely, and
the sides breaking into fragments. The lid of the
lamp remains screwed tightly on.
The unfortunate young lady, in attempting to
extinguish the flames that arose from the blazing
Auid as IL fe the floor and table, set her clothes
on fire, and was so severely burnt that she lived
only few days.
The shattered lamp was taken To Mr.. K. Mer-
riam, who states that the incident is by no means
without precedent. He knows of many cases in
which life has been lost by the unexplained ex-
PlOSiOn of these lamps, every of which is liza
bic to explode in the same manner. They should
be at once expelled from Overy house. Better to
spill candle grease on the carpet, or rsvort to the
old-fashiOned oil, than to run those fearful risks

How the present extraordinary low stage
of water in all the rivers affects business in

Neus Of the 2lss. Ii says:
We doubt very much If any of our citizens
within the past ten years have seen so desc
late looking Levee in the middle of Septem.
Der, as was ours during the earlier portion
of this forenoon. At nine O'Clock there had
been bat one solitary arrival 1.-THE Little Mar
tha) during the light and morning, and an
actual count revealed the fact that there
were bat Just tscsue boats at the Landing
engaged IN receiving or discharging freight.
There was neither Northern Line, nor a
Memphis packet visible, and from the upper
Ferry TO the foot Of Olive street, not pound
of freight, or hardly sign of animation or
business was TO be deserved. The Economy,
the only Ohio river boat in port, was LAYING
in quescent stat at the foot Of Vine-st.
The Isetta, the Only Missouri river packet
loading, was the next boat in order, laying
at the foot of Locust. little smoke from
her chimneys was the only thing indicating
that she was inhabited. From Locust TO
Chestnut there was an ominous gap, afford
ing "A view of tbs river, and the shores OF
Bloody Island rarely to be seen. At the
foot Of the latter named street, about the
keokuk wharf boat, where the Post Boy and
Key West were loading, there began to bs
some little signs OF business, and from .thi.
point to the Illinois Landing were grouped
| eight or ten boats, and about these the only
business WAS being transacted. This lis ra-
Their a sorry picture, but it is "an DER true

The nomination by the Republican County
Convention OF James Reynolds, Esq, of this
city, for Clerk of the District Court, and of
Rufus Hubbard, of Jefferson Tp., for Super
intendent of Public Schools, has given great
satisfaction to the Republicans of the county.
MIR. Reynolds is an old and we'll known
citizen, having resided for twenty years in
this vicinity-fourteen years in Illinois, at
Pontoosuc, and six years in this city. As o
thorough and honest business man, be has
no superior in the county, and as a penman
be has few equals. He 10 a member OF the
Keokuk bar, and although he has not devoted
himself very largely to the practice of law
having engaged in other busness,-his quail
ifcations are so we'll known that be was the
choice of every Republican lawyer in the city,
and will receive the hearty support of every
one of them. While residing in Illinois, hs
acted losg time as Justice Of the peace
and did nearly oil the legal business for bin
neighbors for many miles around. While
no man could have been found better quail
fed, no one could be found who would make
amore gentlemanly and accommodating pub
lie officer. lie is a gentleman and scholar
and we ask for him hearty support. Ii
can, and, we trust, will be elected.
Rufus Hubbard is also we'll known in th
vicinity, having acted in the capacity Of su
perintendent of our city Public Schools fol
several years. Heis an old, experienced AM
thorough teacher, and the very man of al
others whom the people want for Superin
tendent.
We consider bis election q foregone con
clusion; and We feel warranted in sayin,
that he will make an excellent Superintend
ent, and that he will labor efficiently for til
interests OF our schools.

that he has acquired reputation 10 that Pc
