Man Killed.
sorrows few

Last Friday night the Prairie du Chen
Express train from Milwaukee; going west
ran over and instantly killed man named
Bungard, resident of Hubbleton. The
accident occurred about two miles west 81
Hubbleton. He was lying with bis head
on the rail, and his body between the rails.
The engineer saw the object on the track,
but not in time to save him, and the whole
train passed over the unfortunate man,
manghng and crushing his body in alright
ful manner. The remains were taken to
Waterloo in the baggage car. We learn
that Bungard had been to Waterloo during
the day attending lawsuit, and was on
his way home when be met with the horri-
Die accident which resulted in his death. We
have heard it intimated that there are suspic-
ions of foul play in his case but what grounds
there are for such surmises we have not been
able to learn. Bungard, was fisher and
hunter, and it is said was in the habit OF
drinking to excess. It's thought that he
was intoxicated and laid down on the track.
He leaves wife and FIVE children.

Dfsinfcc tants.

As the hot weather has now fairly estab-
lished itself among us, also the season when
the decay and putrefaction of organic bodies
spread abroad the germs of disease, there
fore the adoption of precautionary measures
becomes to be OF extreme necessity. 1t may
be quite sensible at this time to draw into
consideration some of the most approved
disinfectants, in order to be prepared for,
or prevent, any emergency that may occur
We will here men ton a few of the most
popular, appropriate and cheapest dist nfec-
tants now in use, such as Chlorinated Lime,
which has the property OF absorbing the
moisture and Carbonic Acid from the at.
mosphere, its application therefore is pre-
per in removing bad odors and arrestng
animal and vegetable pulrefaction. The
same may be said of Charcoal, perfectly dry
e arth, Coal tar, roasting Coffee, &c.
The Carbolic Acid also prevents fermen-
tation and putrefaction, but its disa greeable
odor makes it quite Objectionable for pri-
vate dwellings, it is. however, a very inn
portant dist nfectant, and should not entire
~ be dispensed with on that account. The
offensive odor may be masked to certain
extent by diluting the Acid with spirits OF
Camphor and mixing it with saw dust be-
fore employing it as disinfecting agent.
The metallic Salts, such as su lphate of Iron
Tor Copperas) is one of the cheapest. and
best. A pound OF Copperas dissolved in two
gals of water forms an excellent application
| TO sewerage, removing it's bad odor, STOP
ping and preventing the growth of germs.
Sulphate OF Zinc and Sulpha te of Copper
are also employed where the cost Of mater
| ial is not an object. A sspuffed up Patent
| Preparation called ,,'.Bromo Chloralum"
proved to the writer to be Of very little
value, its use is quite expensive, and con-
| sequent not within the reach Of every body
| its application is therefore not accompanied
with satisfactory results. A solution of
| common salt in water exhibited equal dis
| injecting power.
Proper ventilation and cleanliness, how
ever, are OF more Importance and greater
value than any other deodorizer or disinfec-
tant known. tree current of fresh air
should at the present season, especially, not
be over looked u nder any consideration, as
our health, to grea, extent depends on the
condition of our cellars and Easements.
