Prof. Thomas Hill, Of Waltnam, Mass, con-
tributes suggestion concerning the most eff
cient mode Of quenching fires, especially in high
buildings in cities, which is Of the greatest i'm
portance. This is, that the tendency Of fremen
is to play On the fire from the top instead Of at
the bottom. Numerous scaling ladders are
brought to the spot, and an immense amount Of
force is wasted to drive the water up through
the hose to where it can play on the fire from
the least effective point The tendency Of fire
to go upward is Irresistible, and fire in the top
Of q building can never be put out so long as
the heat and flames are coming up from below.
To spread 3 fire rapidly it must be lighted from
the bottom, and so to quench q fire rap
idly it must be put out at the
bottom. The suggestion proves itself, but
it is difficult to see in the implements
Of our Fire Departments any sufficient provision
for applying it in practice. If the lower stories
are accessible to the fremen through unshut-
tered windows, they would be very likely to avail
themselves Of it, as the flames would burst
through and afford the f1emcn their mark. But
where the flames only appear through the roof,
or upper parts of q building, it is generally be-
cause they cannot get out at the lower part, and,
where they cannot get out, it is equally difficult
for the fireman to get in. The only way Of ap-
plying Prof. Hills suggestion in all cases is for
the Fire Departments to provide some means Of
boring through brick and stone walls speedily,
and at any desirable point. It might be possible
to provide such means butin it's absence fire.

The suit Of Jacob Trip against 1: D. Mills
money under false pretenses, had partial hear
ing before Justice Tant Would yesterday. The
complainant claims that he boarded with man
named D. Adney, and Was By him induced to
purchase the right to sell a patent spring bed in
Peoria County, which the defendants we're au-
thorized to dispose Of. Under Adney's guidance he
visited the Office OF Mills l. Reade, and entered into
negotiations for the purchase Of the right. 1p
order to convince him that the sale was 1egiti-
mate, Adney purchased the right Of Lake Coun-
ty in his presence and paid $500 cash for it.
Thus assured, Trip bought Peoria County for
$3.50. He claims to have since discovered that
tue sale VAS fraudulent, and the right WORTH
less. rs the parties hadnot the slightest shadow
Of authofity for claiming that they we're the
agents tor the patent. The case was continued.

CHEDIC FOR ASSESSOR.

OPINION OF THE COUNTY COM
MISSIONERS.

The present Board CT County
Commissioners, Messrs. Cheney,
Nevers and Sabin, Lave expressed
and are willing to qualify to the
opinion that George w. Chedic is
the best Assessor Ormspy county
ever had. Mr.. Chedic equalized his
assessment roll as he went along so
that the Commissioners had no cause
to make any material change thereto.
Mr.. Chedic thoroughly understands
his business, knows every plat and
and block of land and the value
thereof; he is honest and trust
worthy, so to one and all we say. re-
elect him; it is to the interest of the
whole county to do &C.

LOOK AT THEM.

The Appeal desires its readersto look
at the head and tail of the Republican
ticket: to admire the personal beauty
of the candidates and to inquire how
such noble men could be persuaded
to sacrifice themselves on their coun
trv's altar. We. on our side. go for
brains. Did we desire 20 enter the
lists on physique. we have the best
of our opponents. But we have the
brains, and on that point we rest.
