street to obtain some refreshments. TIL
repas{being finished, Waters anSeC Gas
teIIo were passing out Of the place
when Wright uttered an offensive re
mark against CASTILLO. Waters turneI
back and said, " You should not talk tina
way :" that the matter had been settled
and have no more trouble; when Wrigh
instantly drew his pistol and p~resenteC

A bystander seized the pistol, bu
Wright wrenched it back and immedi
ately fred at Waters, the ball taking
effect in his left breast, killing hin
almost instantly. Wright then re
cooked his pistol and threatened to shooi
any one who dared to lay a hand or
him. He escaped by the back way. In
formation was given to the police, and
Wright was traced to the engine house,
near the Gayoso and arrested by officer
Welsh. Mr.. Justice Creighton held
an inquest on the body of Waters
about six O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. The jury returned a verdict,
finding that the deceased came to
his death from the effects of a pistol
/ shot, fired by Charles Wright, without
the slightest p~rovocatiOn. The prisoner
WIS first lodged in the Adams street
prison, and shortly afterwards removed
to the county Jail, by order of Squire

Waters had been for years q member Of
the fire department, but severed his
connection with it last summer. He
was about twenty-eight years Of age,

only hope that, for the credit of the city,
it may be long, very long ere we have
to chronicle another such affair.

Wisdom & Duff. These gentlemen have
settled permanently in our city, and we
recommend them as sound attorneys and
practical business men. They were
faithful to their country in the hour of
peril, and this fact speaks for them more
e~loquently than any words Of ours.
4 Good Thing.-To get a good arti-
Gle of liquor nowadays, particularly
brandy or whisky, is very difficult, but
that obstacle has been overcome by our

titv and quality of the pure articles can
not be surpassed. We testify that which
we do know.
DIR. Bernhdrdt.-No part of the hu-
man organization has received more
careful study than the ~delicately con-
structed optical apparatus on which de-
ponds all the delight of the vision. In
spite, however, of minute dissections,
and the most painful research, but little
had been accomplished in supplying the
defects of nature in the visual organ
until very recently. Fine spectaeles
have been in use for many years, but in
most instances they were but poor sub
stitues for real eyes. It was reserved for
DR.. Bernhardt, the renowned oculist
optician, to discover and Introduce into
common use the Australian crystal,
which enables the near sighted and aged
70 see with the quick and clear percep-
ton of the eagle-eye of youth. DIR. B.
