OCouor's letter to the committee of the Louis
vile Convention, again declining its nomna>
ton. Also the reply of the chairman of the
committee, who tells him that while they fully
recognize the extreme personal delicacy and
noble purity of character which prompts the
declnation, they have, in accordance with a
resolution of the convention, determined to
adhere to him as the candidate of the people.

Es~ Col. j. W. Lyell, one of the Faculty
of the Danville Collegiate Institute, has re-
'ceived and accepted call to the chair of
Mathematics in the Virginia Military Insti-
tuse, at Lexington. This is a very honorable
position, and it is high compliment to Col.
LyelPs superior Soho arship, that he should
have received the unsolicited honor, over
number of very distinguished gentlemen who
were applicants for the place. We regret,
also to lose Mr.. J. p. Strider another member
of the Faculty, who has severed his connec-
ton with the Institute. He expects to leave
for Germany about the LIST of September, and
will be absent about two years. He will
spend the time in hard study at the great
German Universities, preparatory to entering
the ministry of the Presbyterian Church
We are assured that the places of these gen.
,lemen will be filed in the Institute by other
distinguished prolicients, and the next session
will open at the usual time in September.

A New MEDICAL CoLLEGE.-sCollege of
Physicians and Surgeons" is the name of
new medical college, which, under an act of
the Maryland Legislature, has been recently
established in Baltimore. The faculty of this
institution is composed of men of recognized
ability aud of great energy of character, so
that by their efforts it must become one of
the best medical schools in this country
DR.. Thos. Opie. we are pleased to note, has
been elected Dean of the Faculty. Prof.
Opie is a native of jefferson, but after serving
with distinction as Confederate surgeon,
went to Baltimore at the conclusion of the
war, and has won the esteem of that commu-
nifty as fine physician and true man.

ADVERTISING DRUNKARDs.-A cores
pendent of the Chicago Journal, writing from
Ellenville, Ulster county, New York, says:
"One is amused at seeing placards posted
up at various taverns hereabouts, proclaiming
two persons to be common drunkards, and
warning individuals against selling them lis
quor under pain of prosecution. 1t appears
that there is law on our statute books, now
almost obsolete, which stipulates that persons
can be posted as drunkards on the affidavit of
certain number of individuals"

The KILLING OF DANIEL o'LEAnY.-

The KILLING OF DANIEL O'LEARY.-,
Our usually quiet city was thrown into state
of excitement Monday morning by the am
nouncement Of. the killing Of Daniel O'Leary,
which occurred about 9 o'clock Sunday night.
The facts, as we gather them, are as follows I:
A number of men employed on the B. & o.
r. R and belonging to Collins Camp, were
at the depot Sunday night on the arrival of
the 'sfast-line" West, which is due here at
1889. After the train had departed, the party
left for their camp, which is located on the
road short distance south of the depot
After crossing Burke street, on the street
leading north past Swartz's mill, and when q
short distance from the mill, young Johb
Collins, (son of James Collins) and Daniel
,O'Leary got into a fight. Young Collins
struck at O'Leary with chilly" when o.
Leary stopped down to pick up stone
While in the act of STOPPING, John Collins,
Sr., an uncle of the young Collins who was
fighting with OLeary, drew chilly" and
struck O'Leary on the head, just back of the
ear. The blow fractured O'Leary skull, and
caused his death almost Immediately. The
cry of murder was raised aud the crowd who
witnessed the affair, scattered aud ran in every
direction. John Collins, who killed O'Leary,
Immediately left, and has not been heard Of
since.
A coroner's jury was summoned Monday
morning, and after sitting on the case, render
ed verdict in substance, as follows: That
Daniel O'Leary came to his death from a
weapon called billy in the hands of John
Collins, ST., and that John Collins, Jr., was
accessory to the killing. Young Collins was
taken before Mayor Shut, and after an exam-
ipaton of the case, was held to bail in the
sum of 1000 for his appearance at the next
term Of the circuit court of Berkeley county.

 Notwithstanding the large sale aad universal approval of "Gold's Steam and Water Heating Apparatus" It's expensivsnsss has impeded its general introduction and use. To remedy this de- feet has long been the study of the inventor, who Is now eatished that in this new Heater, he has secured the only plan whereby persons of moder- ate means can enjoy in their homes, the comfort of ample warmth without injury to health and that his new method meets . demand long felt. and must when well known, rupersede all other Heaters. No one desires. if 1t can be avoid ed, to put into his home heater which will cer tainly impair the health of those who inhale the air vitiated by contact with highly heated surfaces All other Hot Air Furnaces DO heat the air too hot because of the very limited amount of sapsrhcia surface exposed to the hrs, co that mach or thu surface s often heated to redness; the proportion 1 of surface to the Aams sins of hrs in this new system, N TEA TIass oRKArHR thah tns comMoi Hot Air Furnace, and ns part is overloaded; in deed 1t is adjusted on such correct scientific prin ciplss, that every part of the sarfAss is ssuall | warmed. l In the new Furnacs tho valuable result is secure of an sppararus with all the merits of stsar Heater, with the simple construction of the Ho Air Furnace, avoiding all the delsterious effects c that kind of heat.

The public are requested to give their attention to the above circular of s J. GOLD, who has been SO long engaged in the business of Heating, and manufacturing apparatus for it.
 The plan upon which this new ap- paratus is made and operated is entirely new and novel.
 It is constructed upon the most sim pie and yet the most efFectual principle of Heating yet discovered.
 There are a number of them now in operation in different parts of the coun- try, and the results of the trial have been very gratifying to both the invent or and manufacturer.
 The economy iu the use of fuel and its heating capacity is t'uly wonderful, no such results having ever before been achieved by any previous invention.
 It is only designed in this notice to call the attention of the public or any who may wish to secure what the in- ventor says in his circular above,- "ample warmth without injury te health,"-to this new invention whicf probably will come into general use ir all our country homes, as well as in the homes of the wealthy who live iu the large cities and towns. It is a subjec of interest to all who have homes where health, comfort and pleasure are sough after.
 ~Any person who may wish par ticulars about the size, price or descrip tion of the apparatus, or any informa tion whatever, are requested to call an see one in operation, or address

Money Saving.

In address delivered last week, Horace
Greeley said he thought the worse thing
about working men was that too many of
them felt impelled to spend what they
might save because no special reason was
brought home for saying. Ifall the young
working men would save two dollars
week from the time they are twenty one
until they are twenty five years old which
is about the age most of them get married
at, they would soon find themselves in
comfortable circumstances. 1t was not
by strikes nor by high wages that the work
ing mans condition could be improved.
What is the good of one body of men Or
ganizing for strike, when, for each man
who demanded higher pay declined TO
work if it was refused him, there were
dozen ready and willing to work for any
price the employer might name? And
as to high wages, the very fact that wages
were increased was an indication that the
expenses of living would be also increased
Every man should own piece of ground
that was the first start. Except where
they found a final resting place too few
working men owned any now i; yet there
were five hundred places about New
York where land might be bought at such
a moderate price as it would bring for
raising potatoes alone. In these places
the working men might buy and plant
their shade and fruit trees, and in time
raise up villages. He would gladly see
fifty organizations of working men band
ed together for such purpose, for they
would have an object in saving their
money.

Waste Paper.

Few housekeepers are aware of the
many uses to which waste paper may be
put. After a stove has been blackened,
it may be kept looking very we'll for
long time by rubbing with paper every
morning Rubbing with paper is much
nicer way of keeping the outsides of tea
kettle, coffee pot, and tea pot bright and
clean, than the old way of washing them
in suds. Rubbing with paper is also the
best way of polishing knives and tin ware.
after securing. This saves wetting knife
handles. If little -four be held on the
paper, iu rubbing tin ware and spoons,
they shine like new silver. For polish
ing mirrors, windows, lamp chimneys, &C.,
paper is better than dry cloth, Preserves
and pickles keep much better if borwn
paper instead of cloth is tied over the jar.
Paper is much better to put under car
pet than straw. 1t is warmer, thinner,
and makes less noise when one walks over
it, Two thicknesses of paper, placed be-
tween other coverings on bed, are as
warm as quilt.

chimneys were undoubtedly formed by
geysers, now extinct others by what may
be called spouting-spriugs, as those which
are In constant state of violent obuli-
ton, throwing the water up two to four
feet-a phenomenon intermediate between
boiling spring and true geyser The
water is forced up through an orifce in
the earth by hydrostatic pressure, and
overfiowing,. precipitates the sediment
around it; and thus, in time, it builds
up mound varying in height according
to the force of this pressure. One of
these cones is very remarkable, surpass.

the West. From its peculiar form we
almost involuntarily named it the LIB

carbonate of lime, in flexible cap like
layers, with diameter at the base of
fifteen feet, and a height of about forty
feet. 1t is completely closed over at the
summit. This is probably an extinct
geyser, and was the most powerful one of
