about 5 o'clock on Saturday evening. He had

\ to unite the hawser, when he received a blow on
the side Of the head which stunned him. When

his father and mother and sisters reside at No SO
| Ha an af
and laid his head on his mothers lap, when he be-
came speeehless, and a few hours afterwards he
expired. He did not know by whom he was
struck, or why any one should attack him. His
partner on the boat just as she was leaving,
| having had his attention attracted to Burkefs
condition, jumped overheard to join him,
and narrowly escaped being drowned: He
account of the cruel deed. There was no fighting
or disturbance Of any kind at the time. Doctor

deceased was struck with brick, but the G0ro-

the deadly and treacherous blow. Burke was
twenty-sx years of age. We trust the police will
be able to ferret out the offender. 12tllj ~

GAS WILL HAVE 1T.-We stated few days ago
that the city authorities had proposed to the gas
company to light the city for nine years on the terms
that have heretofore been in force. The company
have signed their willingness to accept the propo-
sal they do not wish to interrupt the friendly rea
tons that have always existed between them and the
city. They declare that the contract will involve
them in pecunlary loss. AS the regular govern
ment of the city will soon be relnstated, Rand as
thereafter contracts made will not be binding
it is probable nothing will be done about the mat
ter Tor the present. Anyhow, our petroleum men
of Cincinnati and elsewhere, who have shown such
a decided inclination to throw light upon us and
money into their pockets, may make their minds
easy about the matter. The thing will be arranged
at home. -s7. I.a .a.,5'
