After patiently enduring suffering for more than
two years, she has been cut down In the dew of
heryouth, from life whose early unfoldings gave
bright assurance of future usefulness. All that
the fondpess of parents could suggest or medical
skill devise, were sought for her recovery But
all proved of no avail, pOstponing for lit
tie the dreaded event which has so recently
shrouded household, brought sadness to null
titude of friends, and touched the heart of the
tire community. Never known to murmur at her
lot, it may be truly said she was made perfect
through suffering. Her cheerfulness in the dark
est hour was perpetual rebuke to those of lesser
trials. Her gentle, trustful spirit bespoke the
divine inspiration other life OF singular sweetness
The inefable peace of God, the tenderness of a
savior's love, and the influences of heavenly
spirit abounded in her heart, aud shone forth in
the beauty Of holy life. Her parting words to
friends, :. Be good, and all meet me in Heaven
revealed the under current of her thoughts, and
her mistaken confidence in the promises Of God
Her character. imbued with deep moral sense,
the rare genuineness which pervaded it, and her
bameless Christian life, won her the love and res
pect of her associates and friends
She has passed from among us, yet sweet recol
lections will ever entwine her memery. The re-
membrance of so noble life, cannot but awaken
longings in the minds Of those who knew her, to
attain the exalted plane Of unfalterng trust.

THE CONCERT. The concert given on
Thursday evening last week by Mrs Shell
don and the Misses Vescelius of Chicago, was
not SO largely attended as it should have
been, The audience that assembled were
well repaid in the rich musical feast given
them, and expressed their appreciation by
frequent outbursts of applause. The singers
gave far better entertainment than many
who advertise more extensively, each one
being excellent both in voice and expression
Every one present was well pleased, and we
can not but hope that if the fair artistes ever
make their appearance in this city again, they
will be met bya much larger audience.

| TORRRY's SULPHUR SPRINGs,-A year ago
last winter Mr.. K. S. 5Torrey sunk we'll
thirty-fi feet deep near his hotel, in Pleas
ant Prairie, for the use of the house and team
sters who stopped there on their way by.
The dry weather of the past summer lowered
the water so much that the well furnished
barely sufhcient for use In the house, and Mr..
i T. had about made up his mind to dig new
well. =
| On Monday morning of last week, on going
| to the well for pitcher of water, Mr.. Tor
rev found that the well had filled to the
depth of nine feet, and the water was much
clearer than usual. On tasting 1t he discov-
cred the presence ofsulphur.
Since the discovery the well has been visit
ed by several hundred persons, among whom
was an eminent physician from Chicago, who
tested the properties of the water, and pro-
nounced it pure sulphur water. The water
is gradually growing stronger, and the we'll
rapidly filling, Notwithstanding something
like five hundred pailfuls are pumped from it
every day. From its rapid rise, Mr.. Torrey
has expressed the opinion that il will soon be
a flowing WE'LL" He contemplates sinking
another well in a short time
| From the we'll known medicinal qualities
of springs of this kind, it is safe to predict
that Torrey's will soon becomea resort for
thousands of all kinds of people, afflicted
with all kinds of ailings for which
sulphur water is pronounced ney-
er-failing remedy. The place is well worthy
of visit, evenfrom those who visit such
places merely from curiosity.

PERPETUAL MoTIoN.-Henry Wick
ham, Jr, young man of this city, has
achieved, he thinks, the theory and prac.
tioe OF perpetual motion Many will rec
lollect the photograph of his machine, ex-
posed at Andrews dining saloon, and per.
haps at other public places, last spring
1t was given out that a half interest in
the invention Ga caeedt only having beer
| filed them had been sold TO Sam Buck
master for seventy.five thousand dollars
| and that the affair would soon be exhibit
tied to the public at large. Since that
/ time full patent has been received by
Mr. Wickham, and his machine has also
behaved itself handsomely, working with
out cessation for months. The most es-
sential portion of the machine consists Of
hollow rocking lever, or beam resemb-
ling the walking beam OF q steamboat en-
CINE, except that it is bent at oblique an
giles in several places. Beside this are
placed balls partially filed with mercury.
The balls, once set in motion, roll down
the interior of the hollow beam in a vain
search after permanent level, for no
sooner do they reach the lower end than
the mercury in the spokes of the main
wheel overcomes their weight, the beam
is forced up, and The balls are again I'M
PEELED in their onward rush, only to be
caught by the valve that is forced open
from without, and pushed into the upper
rm of the beam or lever, ready to be
hustled along their never ending route.
A delicately adjusted weight and brake
are attached to the machine, and serve to
regulate its motion, but it is in the hollow
spokes and beam, and the balls of quick
silver, that the mysterious power is said
to lie.-- Chicago Times.

THHCoAL BUsINEss.-A short time since we
took look through Geo. s. Baldwin's coal
depot near the harbor. He has had in his
yard somewhere in the neighborhood OF
fifteen hundred tons of coal, the greater part
of which he has disposed of to customers
throughout the city, and now that he has
filled up again he is ready to furnish those
who have not yet got in their winters supply.
He delivers coal to buyers in any part of the
city. In the line of water lime and salt he
has an immense stock, which he can deliver
in quantities to suit at shortest notice. All
in want of any of the above articles should
not fail to call.
