The STEAMER VIcToR steamer is
now fully completed, and she viii leave
here to day or tomorrow for Chicago,
where she will receive her furniture, and
then go into trade between that city and
Muskegon, under command of Capt. Mon
GAN. Her beautiful model, staunch build,
and fine finish will make her the "Belle
of the Lakes"
The construction Of the two steamers
Union and Victor-at Manitowoc, has
been of great benefit to our town-at least
$4,000 having been expended among our
mechanics, lumbermcn, &C., during the
past eight months. This amount docs not
include the machinery and furniture. The
entire cost of the Victor is about s28 900.
To Capt. A, z. GooDRIcH, the owner,
is our town indebted for this large expen-
diturc of money in our midst, and we hope
his enterprise will be so successful as to
warrant him in increasing his navy until
be becomes Commodore Of the Lakes"

THE DEAD OF ST PAULs, NEW YoRK.-
Here is page of the past, says the New
York Ledger, which for seventy years has
lain open for posterity to read. In the very
center of this old church yard there ale two
broad stones laid side by side, alike in length
and breadth and height, twin records of the
dead, who were so mysteIiousIy joined in
their living and their dying:
This tomb is erected to the memory Of
Major John Lucas, of the Carolina Line of
the Army of the Revolution, and Treasurer of
the Society of Cincinnati of that State. He
bore Sc, ere and lingering decay with that
fortitude which ever marked his character as
a soldier, and died in this city on Tuesday.
the 18th of August, 1889. Aged 33 years.
And this tomb contains the remains Of
Major Job Sumner, of the Massachusetts, Line
of the same army, who, having supported an
unblemished character throughout life as the
soldier, citizen and friend, died in this city,
after short illness, was universally regret
ted by his acquantances on the 10th day Of
September, 1889. Aged 33 years.
Alike in arms they ranged the glorious Field,
Alike in turn to death the victors yield.
This job Sumner COMMANDED the advance
guard of the American army at the British
evacuation of our soil. He was the ANCESTOR
of Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts,. This
union in life and death, this union speaking
from the tombs of the soldiers Of the Repub
lc will not North and South both hear and
heed the lesson?

asked him to publish this fact to the world

complied, and the personal difficulty was
settled but Col. Cunningham still maintain-

for a Committee of Investigation. but the
lateness of the hour proeluded the eXamna-

SUICIDE oE A SERVANT GIRL-A melancholy
case of suicide occurred yesterday at the re,
dence Of Thomas Il. Horton, 4l2 Dupont
street. At an early hour yesterday morning
II gentleman from Sacramento, who is on II
visit to Mr.. H., stepped into the kitchen to
see if break fast was cooking, when be saw
the ileless form of the girl stretched ulou
the floor. 1t was at once made evident that
she had committed suicide 10y taking poison
for she was lying in the midst of elected mat
ter which she had thrown up during her dy-
ing spasms.
On table near where she lay was found
note directed TO the sister of the deceased
who is a married woman in this city The
note requested her sister to forward the sum
of $50, which she had saved to her mother
in ireland, and to dispose Of her clothing -
Nothing, however, was mentioned in it rcM-
ting to the awful act which she at that time
had determined to commit. The name OF the
url,runate girl was Margaret Hyde. She
was Il native of Ireland and about Thirty
years of age. Margaret was very strict in
her conduct, and very regular and deyout in
her attendance at church Every nigl
since Lent commenced he has visited her
place of worship, in company with a female
friend. with the cXceEtion of the night pre-
vious to her committing suicide
Whether the contemplation Of religious
matters was Il subject SO vast that it worked
upon her brain and led her TO dcstruction or
whether she had private griefs that gnawed
into her like a canker and drove her to des-
peration, We knw not. 1t seems certain,
however, that her rash act was not the result
of misconduct or remorse for false step, fo,
( the poor girl associated with none of the op.

They are near Matole Valley, Humboldt
county, and within eight miles of good har-
Dor. The oil, tar or asphatum, oozes from
bill sides, and settles in cavities at the base,
forming puddIes. 1t readily ignites and burns
when fire is applied, as resnous substances
