characterized by vigor of thought, Ia

ability.
In his professional association9and
private life DIR. Bobbs was courteous,
gentle and kind. He performed many
generous acts known only to himself
and to the recipients: Honorable,
faithful and true in life, the same
traits distinguished him when his end
approached. His death bed was calm
and serene, and after settling his
worldly cares with the utmost delib.
Grafton. he wrapped the drapery Of
the tomb around him as one who lays
down to pleasant dreams. He COM
mitted his soul to God with full con-
fidence in the atoning merits of his
Saviour.
DR. Bobbs was a native of Penusyl-
vania, and, we believe, received his
education in the Pennsylvania Medi-
cal College. He was fifty eight years
of age, dying in the meridian of life,
and when his mental powers and ex-
perience we're fully ripened. His dis
ease was acute pneumonia, contracted
by exposure while on a visit to Plain
field. week ago last Saturday. to per-
form difficult operation. His wife
is a sister of Senator Cameron, aud
an aged mother and widowed sister
also survive him. In the death of
DR.. Bobbs, society loses a valuable
citizen, and the memory of his many
good deeds will long survive him.

1he Steam Flre EngIne Trial.

The trial of the Latta aud Seneca
Falls fire engines on Saturday morn
ing was to determine which engine
could throw the largest amount of
water in the same time. For that
purpose two cisterns Of equal capaei-
ty, one at the corner Of Washington
aud Tennessee streets, aud the other
at the corner of Market and TenDes-
see streets, were partially filed, fifty
barrels being required to fill either
one. The Latta engine was at the
corner OF Washington. pumping from
that clstern into the one at the corner
OF Market, where the Seneca Falls en-
eine was forcing the water back to
Washington street.
At five minutes to eleven the torch
was applied, and In just forty min
utes the Seneca Falls engine had
| flooded the cistern at the corner oil
| Washington Street, thus forcing fifty
| barrels more of water in forty min.
utes than the Latta. When this tes
was completed, the two engines threw
a stream through two hundred anC

cistern. The latter succeeded il
throwing stream through an incl

two hundred aud five feet, and th,
Seneca Fails threw the same size'
stream one hundred and ninety feet

Thus ended the second trial be

Annual Incomes for 1869 and Special
Taxes or Licenses for 1870.


We understand that the assistant
assessors of the city and county have
nearly completed their lists, and that
Assessor to Collector Buckner. We
are glad 10 know that there is an
increase of the assessments of in
come and special taxes over the pre-
ceding year amounting to from ID to
20 per cent, the increase of 1869 over
1868 being about the same as the in
crease of 1868 over 1867. This is
encouraging, and shows a steady
and healthy growth Of business and
wealth in our city. The amount of
assessments returned for incomes
aud special taxes will amount to
about four hundred thousand dollars
in this city and county.
There are still a large number of
delinquents, both of those who
should make their returns of income,
and those who are required to pay
special tax or license. All of the
latter who are found doing business
after the first of May are subject to
penalty of 80 per cent. on the amount
of their assessment, and are also liza
bic to prosecution under the law.
Those who are delinquent in making
their returns of income are also La
BILE to penalty of so per cent. We
understand that Assessor Needham
has received instructions from Wash
iDgton directing him to see that the
assessment be made thorough and
that the provisions of the law must
be faithfully enforced. We believe
he has the reputation Of following his
instructions pretty closely. Louis

Life In Utah.

This is the title of Mr.. j. II. 'Bea
dies expose of what be terms the
Mysteries aud Crimes of Mormon
ISM" as also the Secret Rites and
Ceremonies Of the Latter Day Saints, /"
with full and authentic history Of
Polygamy and the Mormon Sect from
its origin to the present time. Our
readers know full well Mr.. Beadle's
opportunities for becoming thorough
ly familiar with the subject on which
be has written. They also are famil
lar with the graphic style in which
he is accustomed to present his ob
servations to the public. The present
volume is nicely printed and illus
trated with thirty four engravings.
The Prospectus. of course, deals large
ly in the horrible, leading off with the
following startling paragraph:
For more than thirty years the
world has been Mortified, startled, and
perplexed by the audacity and sue
cess of sect calling themselves
MormOns, or Latter. Day Saints. I"
Though founded in fraud, aud carried
out in iniquity, this sect has succeed
ed In spite of all opposition, until it
is to-day the standing reproach of our
country.
We are pretty certain that our
friend Beadle never psnned the Pros
pectus, and consequently are not dis
posted to hold him responsible for
many Of the absurdities contained
in it..
The work is sufficiently varied in
its contents to prove unusually at
traetive. 1t treats Of the origin aud
history of the Sect, ard shows how
artfully its first Prophet maintained
his influence over them. 1t also de-
tails the different NJ ormon wars, aud
how, through the corruption and
treachery Of dishonest politicians
they have thus far defed the Govern
ment. 1t treats of the inefficient ex
ecution of the laws in Utah, and ex
poses the manner in which the Gentilei
are plundered and murdered, as vel
as giving a complete history of crime
and lawlessness as it has prevail
ed in that territory. The Mormon
Religion, aud its various ceremonies
and licentiousness will come 10 for q
chaptsr or tvs. The theory anC
practice of polygamy will be dis
cussed, and the manner in which i
debases society pointed out. Brigham
Young and the other Mormon leader
will be shown up in their true light
aud the secret OF his influence owe
the misguided people. notwithstand
ing his expressions, are fully exposed
In addition, what to our mind vii
constitute one of the chief attraction
of the book, there will be severa
chapters devoted to describing th
appearance and characteristics of th
Territory, its physical features, il
resources. wealth, &c.

DR.. John s. Bobbs, one of the most
expert physicians and surgeons of
central Indiana, died at Indianapo
lis on Sunday evening. We copy the
following announcement of his death
from the Sentinel:
The community was startled last
evening by the announcement OF the
decease of DIR. John s. Bobbs, an
event that was entirely unexpected to
many of his friends. 1t was but
few days ago that we saw DR.. Bobbs
upon the streets in apparent good
health, with the prospect of many
years of life aud usefulness, and lit
tie did we anticipate his untimely
end.
For over thirty years the deceased
uracticed his profession in this city,
and as a physician and surgeon he
stood foremost among the many dis
tipguished practitioners in our State.
| DIR. Bobbs was ambitious In his pro-
fession, and he labored diligently,
aud, we may say. successfully, for
honorable fame. He was President
of the Medical College that was es
tablished by the Asbury University II
this city in 1849, and which lived fol
three years, and he was also Preslden
of the Faculty In the Medical College
recently organized here. During tn,
war he was attached 10 the staff ofCen
Thomas A. Morris in Western Vir

period. he was connected with til
army in the South, under Genera
