RECEPTION OF GEN. NEAL Dow.-The
Alliance Ne'os, the English teetotal organ,
gives very full account of the reception OF
Gen. Neal Dow at Manchester by deputa-
ton OF the Temperance Alliance of the United
Kingdom. Gen. Dow was received with loud
cheers as he rose to acknowledge the welcome
extended to him. He began his address by a
reference to his former English visit in 1857,
and spoke of the great progress of the te =
ance cause in the two countries since that time.
In 1857 he made the remark that the princip pal
difficulty would be found to be with the edu-
Gated and cultivated classes. In Looking hack
upon the history of centuries it will be found
that every movement for the amelioration of
the condition of mankind has met with il.
chief difficulty from these classes. Now the
temperance movement is taking root among
educated people. We begin to understand that
the true road to success lies through the ballot

Gilman Daveis,

Our community was startled yesterday morn
| ing by the announcement of the death of DR..
Gilman Daveis, one of our best known and
most respected physicians. The intelligence
came with the force of a shock, for DR.. Daveis
was in the discharge of his professional duties
| as late as last Wednesday. His death resulted,
at three o'clock yesterday morning, from an
| acute attack of pneumonia.
Dr. Daveis was born March 21st, 1916, and
was the eldest son of one of Names most dis
tinguished lawyers, Charles S. Daveis His
grandfather was Capt, Ehenezer Daveis, of
Revolutionary fame, who removed to this city
in 1884, and built the house on the corner of
Brown and Free Streets which is now occupied
by the family. His mother was a daughter of
Gov. Gilman of New Hampshire, The Doctor
studied medicine in this city under DR.. J. T.
Gilman, in company with Dr. George H. Mich
OILS of Boston, and DR. Charles w. Thomas, late
of Portland. He took his degree in medicine
at Jefferson College, Philadelphia, and at the
Medical School of Maine, about 1886. He then
settled in the practice of his profession at
Portsmouth, remaining there until 1S41 when
he removed to this city where he has resided
ever since. At the time of his death he was
hereditary member of the Society of Cincin-
NATL deriving his membership from his grand
father, the revolutionary captain. He leaves a
wife and two daughters to mourn his loss.
Dr. Daveis had the reputation of being the
best read physician in the State. In general
practice he stood high, and as an oculist his
reputation was as wide as New England, He
was an industrious student to the last, and his
scientific attainments were of high order
His manly qualities endeared him to large
circle of acquaintance, and commanded the re-
spect of all who knew him. He will be held
in memory by his brother physicians as loyal
to his profession aud as a christian gentleman

LAVA BEDS, May 8-S A. M.-Several large
fires are burning in Jacks camp in plain sight

now near the stronghold, are ordered to report
to these headquarters.
The Warm Spring Indians were ordered for
ward to the point alluded to to discover the Mo-

patch were signals from them that the Modocs
had vacated the Notifications and gone to some
point yet unknown.
