Died {:

Suddenly, on the morning Of Monday Novs6 Mrs
Rosete French the beloved wife of Mr. r. W. French,
of this place.
Seldom has our community experienced
greater shock than when the sad intelli-
gence of the sudden death Of Mrs. French
was passed from one to another Of her wide
circle of friends last Monday forenoon.
An hour before her death she was thought
to be in no special danger, but III that brief
time she passed from loving family circle
on earth to her heavenly home.
She had been i'll for about three weeks,
but was rapidly recovering apparently,
when sudden difficulty Of breathing
since thought by some to have arisen from
heart disease-prostated the vital powers
at once, and she soon sank away, dying
clasped in the arms of her husband.
Mrs. French was born III the State OF
New York, Feb. 18th 1882. She was mar
ried to Mr.. r. w. French on the 10th of
October 1853, at Ashtabula, Ohio. She
came to Superior with her husband, June
10Th 1857, where she has resided ever since.
Mrs French was member Of the Pres
byterian church of this place, and most
diligent il her attendance upon the servi-
ces Of Gods house. She was leading
member of the choir, and will long be
missed by the many friends who associated
her presence and voice with the songs of
sacred praise. AS one of the early citizens
Of Superior eho had many armiy attached
friends here, and at Duluth. Mrs. French
left large family to mourn her loss, the
youngest an infant but three weeks old.
The services connected with the inter-
ment of the remains on Wednesday last,
Nov. s, were attended by a large, and sym
pathizng concourse. The funeral sermon
will be preached tomorrow, Sabbath, 18th,
in the Presbyterian church at 1O1 AN.
Sweet singer, shall miss
Thy voice since called above,
To sing in everlasting bliss,
OF everlasting Love! x*x

MEssRs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co., the cele-
brated and popular New York Advertising
Agency, engage to advertise in gross and
detail for large customers In a better and
cheaper mode than they can do it them
selves. This we sincerely believe they can
do. because it is their sole business-tte1'
specially; because they get space at lowest
rates. and because of their intimate and
confidential relations with publishers. If
we wish to spend ten thousand dollars In
advertising over the country, notwlthstand-
ing our own experience and knowledge o.
advertising styles and of rates, we would
employ them under certain directions. W e
would save money, trouble, worry, and the
business would be done at least as well, If
not better, than we could do it ourselves

LATEST FROM THE NORTH SHORE SILVER
AND GOLD MINEs.-The steamer Lolita Ber-
nard Of this place, arrived from Silver Islet
on Thursday, bringing several passengers,
among whom were Messrs. Thomas H. Ho-
gan and Vose Palmer, old residents of this
place, who both confirm the previous ac-
counts given of the wonderful richness Of
the silver mines, and also of the recent dis
covery Of gold in that district. From Mr..
Hogan, an experienced explorer, who spent
all last summer examining the mines and
prospecting, and on whose statements we
place implicit reliance, we gather the fol-
lowing particulars: Gold has been found
Landing, assays Of which yielded from $3.50
to $666 to the ton. Gold is also known to
exist as far west as Lac La Croix, and
traces of it have been found on Lake Supe-
rior $50 miles east of Thunder Bay. The
first discovery Of gold was at Lake Shebon-
dawan (47 miles west of Prince Arthur
Landing) where miners will work during
the winter. Mr.. III. showed us some very
rich specimens Of both gold and silver ores
which he brought with him. A rich dis
covery of silver has been made on Nipegon
Bay. The number OF miners to be employ
ed this winter is as follows: at Silver Islet
175 men, Shuniah IS, Black Bay 35, Loca-
ton No. 2 20, Ontario s, and Algomo s..
1t is expected an immense amount of the
precious ores will be ready for shipment
by spring.

A wheel having zigzag groove cut
in its perimeter in such way that the
ends of the angles formed by the ada
cent inclined portions of the groove run
out at one side of the wheel, leaving
openings, engages with trundle-wheel
or pinion having four or more teeth, the
teeth entering the grooves through the
breaks, and being acted upon by the in
clined surfaces of the grooves. Two Of
the teeth are always meshed into the
groove, so that the motion is positive,
and the number of revolutions of the
pinion may be multiplied more rapidly
than can be done by the ordinary sys-
tenn of gearing.

METEOROLOGICAL RECORD.
RIVER, BUSINESS, MIsoELLASEoUl

/
The river has declined two inches
since our last report, and is now thirty.
two feet eleven inches below high water
mark of 1867, There is no immediate
prospect of an improvement in the
stage of water in the streams above.
The Ohio has gone up three inches at
Evansville, but is falling again there, as
well as at Louisville, Cincinnati and
Pittsburg. The decline at Cairo during
the past twenty-four hours is two inches,
and at st. Louis the river is stationary.
There is hardly six and one-half feet
above here to Cairo, and below six feet
is reported over Reeves, seven feet over
Choctaw, aud further down there is but
six and one-half feet over the bar at
Island SO, above Lake Providence.
White river is falling slowly, as also is
the Arkansas. Business is only mode
rate. Two boats came in after the close
of our report yesterday. The St. Jo-
Seph came late with a big freight list,
and got away before daylight to-day.
The Lady Lee, for Red river, arrived
about ten pm, drawing six feet, and
after adding a few passengers, got away
early this morning The local packets
that left last evening had good trips.
The Cheek was loaded deep. The ar
rivals up to the hour of our going to
press-2 p.m.-were the Glasgow, Phil
Allin and Colorado. The Glasgow came
in from above and discharged here about
twenty-five packages, added seventy. FIVE
ton of light freight and departed for

The demands for money from merchants and
business men, though not yet excessive or ex-
ceptionally pressing, are more active and are
absorbing a fair amount of the funds at the
command of the banks and banking houses.
and in more than one instance to-day appli-
cants have been met with the "no currency "
answer. At some of the banks the report is a
better demand than during the past eight
months. The scarcity of currency is only
temporary, however. as those Of the banks
that have been loaning largely will import
currency, and by the last of the week be in "a
condition to satisfy all demands of the trade.

The Alleged Armstrong Homicide.


The Alleged Armstrong Homicide.
Yesterday Captain Athey, of the police,
arrested James Armstrong, a ship car
penter, residing on Dunlap street, on the
charge of numbering his wife, who was
found lying dead in the house. Esquire
Moore held an inquest on the body last
evening, and some strong circumstantial
evidence was brought forth. 1t was in
evidence that the deceased had been in
the habit of getting intoxicated, and yes
terday Armstrong had beaten her. She.
was found dying soon after; yet but few
marks Of violence were found on the
body by the physicians. The jury re-
turned a verdict that Rose Armstrong
came to her death from violence re-
ceived at the hands of her husband,
James Armstrong" The prisoner was
taken to the Adams street station-house,
and will be brought before Esquire
Moore for trial at two o'clock this after
noon, provided the grand jury takes no
action before that hour by finding or
ignoring bill of indictment.

A New Article OF Food for children,

uIaR.


A New Article OF Food for children,
Invalids, and for General Family
Use. fi
We have to-day been shown the above
article, which, from our knowledge Of
the article, we are confident must pos
sess considerable merit. 1t is prepared
from the very best Michigan and Mis-
souri, white winter wheat. The wheat is
thoroughly cleansed, and the greatest
care is observed in its manufacture,
that it shall be clean in every sense Of
the word. In its preparation not one
particle of the bran is lost, nor are the
chemical properties Of the grain
changed, which cannot be said of any
other manufacture of wheat 1t con-
tains in natural combination all the ele-
ments so essentially necessary to the
development Of bone, muscle, nerve and
brain. For weak and imperfectly de-
veloped children, it is Invaluable, sup
plying the phosphates in natural com
bination with the food, desideratum in
physical and mental growth. Dyspep-
tics should not be without it. 1t is
recommended by the best authority in
the country-physicians, hotels, hospi-
tails, and some of the most prominent
journals. 1t is put up in two and four
pound packages, with directions for use,
such as mush, puddings, mullins, bread,
etc. 1t is now for sale by VIM. Whita-
ker, Lyle & Shields, Duffy & Casey, G.
B. Patterson, and other grocers.
