The body having been as rapidly as

substances often collected at the base of

trachea (windpipe). The barborous
practice of rolling the person over Il bar
rel, or hanging him head downward, to
permit the escape of water from the
lungs, has almost ceased, i'll view of the
fact now generally known, that no water
can get into the lungs.
This can he done while the body is
being conveyed to the nearest house, or
other suitable spot, IA messenger having
been previously dispatched to make the
necessary arrangement.
As soon as the body arrives. it SHOULD

After recovery of the body. sending
fol medical assistance, and securing ev-
cry thing likely to be needed, there are
two things to he done, and it may be
further said, done ut the same time.
The first is. restoration of the breath

Fire Protection.

The perfectng touches on the reservoir have
been made The great fear for the success ofthe
reservoir has been of freezing in very cold wealth
err. The water as it comes into the pool is warm
yet, the body of water being large, unless it is
kept in constant circulation, there is great dan
ger of this catastrophe, which would be ruinous
TO the sides of the reservoir. To remedy this, an
additional pipe has been attached to the conduct
ing pipe, aud brought above the surface in the
center of the basin. The water flowing in by this
pipe will keep the surface in constant circula'
ton and also keep the surface water at tolerablc
high temperature. To guard against all posibii-
les the managers are considering the plan Of
placing an iron coping around the edge, letting
it fall a fe inches below the surface.
The new plug at the corner of Madison and
Court streets, showed it capabilities on Thurs
day during the fire, and worked splendidly. AT
ter the fire was over, both engines were attached,
and still the plug werkel like charm. Both
engines reduced the water in the reservoir Bin
ches in - minutes.

Republicans object to having their procession
stoned. If the Democratic leaders will not put q
stop to such outrages hereafter and hold in cheek
their unruly followers, steps will be taken 10

blame on the "boys." Boys are not apt to al
tempt acts of violence unless they are ineiIed 10

-Ottara Whisky Ring Pop-Gun.
The above is another of the dirty filings that Is
so characteristic of the pee ,ce. ltntlmates that
the democrats countenanced the stoning affair
on the 27th-that such men as VIM. Reddlckk, l..
A. Rising. Lote Perkins, Geo. X. Tozer, Chas.
Catlin. ID. P. Jones, Vim. Trabing, and hosts OF
Others, among the most respectable men in the
city, and all Tilden supporters, had influence
with and supported squad OF raggamufiins en-
gagged in stoning procession.
The editor OF the Ottawa Republican knows as
does everyone else that the Democratic leaders
had nothing to do with the stone throwing, as
we'll as we do. The decent men Of the party
know it and have repeatedly said SO; Mr.. Chas
Blanchard in his remarks on the subject at the
wigwam said he did not believe the leaders" had
anything to do with it, and many others have IN.
dviduay told us they knew they did not. We
told just who did throw the stones, and our view
of character as we'll as democrat who knows any
thing of the matter.
The whole story is simply this: When the
marching OF the children began, the cadet com
pany was followed by crowd of boys who made
bantering remarks to them, when one of the OIL
GERS who is old enough to have sense sufficient to
see the uselessness and folly of such proceeding,
attacked some of the crowd, striking them with
lath, or whatever he had in his hand, to make
them behave themselves. This of course only
added oil to the flames and the result was show
er of stones aimed at him. This is the whole
truth OF the matter. Now, we do not have any
sympathy with these young scalawags, (for twas
they who made the troubeD but we do object to
being insulted because disturbance brought on
| by one of their number, acts like the boomerang
and flies back into the faces of our Republican
friends.

Suicide.

We have to record to-day the DEATH by his
own hand, on Thursday night, Of Mr.. Mial Pierce,
for many years resident of this city. He was
seen Thursday and talked to by several during
the day, among others by Messrs Simon Bros,
by whom he was hired to do a job the next day.
Not coming home at all during Thursday night
his family became alarmed, and Mrs. Fields on
Friday morning came over to Mr. Geo. h. To-
zers and said that Mr.. Pierce had not been home
all night and that she was afraid he might have
made away with himself as he was acting des
pondently. Mr.. Pierce had been janitor of Christ
Church, and Tozer thought it was possible, If
that was the case, that the deed would probably
be done by him there. So they went to the
church, and after some search, found him in the
basement, dead, He had brought down from
the church q green table spread, and had
stretched himself out upon it at full length. His
hands were folded over his breast, and his legs
crossed at the feet. By his side was found an
empty laudnum bottle, the contents of which he
had evidently taken. The Coroner was notified,
who empaneled Il jury under whose instruc-
lions the body was searched and carried to his
home. On the body were found his watch, keys,
pocket.book, &c. In the pockct,hook was the
following letter:
Mrs. NJ Pierce:
You'll never tell me again that meat amt fit
for a dog to eat, that is too old it Is worn out

tried to destroy himself. That he has at last
succeeded, is not surprising to anyone, though
why he should do SO at this time is not at all

ings being confined chiefly to routine business.
On Monday, in the case of The People ex rel, &c,
VS. Henry II. Gage ct al, there was an oral argu-
ment by Goudy and Skinner for appellant and f.
Roby, Esq, for appellee. The case involves the
validity Of the Lincoln Park assessment in the
city of Chicago, amounting to nearly 100000.
The opinion will be'more interesting to the pub

opinions were filed, but in cases of no interest to
our readers. The term ended on Friday.

HOME MATVERS.
Daniel Evans, Sc.

On Last Saturday evening the Tilden Reform
Club held A meeting in the Court House square
which was a success, in every respect
The speeches of the evening were precedec oy
n parade of the Tilden Guards go strong. Com
NAMES A. and B., about $50 men, formed IN 'front.'
Of their respective headquarters on Main ST., ana
,roceeded to Schaefer's Hall where CompanyC.
1oo men all Germans fell into line, and the whole
hodv marched up town. The display was fine
one. twice as large as any yet made here. The
raids who could not find fault with the display
vented their wrath on the marching OF the
Guards who were not at all equal In that respect
to the Whaze & Heller Minute men, they said
II made them feel rather bad when they reflect
ed that they could vote "all the same" How
ever, the marching though by no means perfect
was not at all bad, and will be soon improved
after few nights practice. The streets were
full of people to see the procession and the scene
presented a striking contrast to the displays oil
the Whayes children whose parades are more
like funeral than the "outbursts OF enthusi'
asm," as the Pee Wee intimates they are.
The Guards finally formed about the s1uare
till Mr.. Daniel Evans was introduced, when, be-
wind, they withdrew to the headquarters, 10 re-
lieve themselves of the lamps, &c.
The audience about the speaker numbered no
less than 300 or 400, which considering the very
cold weather, was an audience not to be des'
pissed; and if compared with the gatherings al
the wigwam, was a big crowd. We shall not at
tempt to review the speech OF Mr. Evans OF La
Sale That his audience chung to him from nrs'
to last in the cold, is convincing proof that ii
was n strong one; and it was. He said it was
self evident to every thinking man that we "ah'
a change in public affairs, and then PROCEEDED
TO show trhy we wanted It, in clear, pointed
and fearless STYLE that struck home. IL was by
far the strongest aud best speech that has YET
been made here during this campaign and made
good impression. If republicans were not ST
furiously afraid of the TRUTH or would give II any
credepce when it is talked to them, they would
have had many ideas to think Of after this speech
After Mr. Evans, Mr. DeWolfe, of Chicago
made few short remarks, chiefly on the demon
etzaton of silver.
Mr.. Alex Campbell. being present was called
for, but was so hoarse he could not attempt to
speak.
Mr.. G. Wash. Armstrong was also called for
He cemplimeuted the Guards on their appear
ance during the parade, and thought their uni
form very appropriate The white represents
purity, and the blue, truth,-two ideas the De
mocracy are trying to infuse into the public ser
vice.
The evening being then far advanced, the
meeting was adjourned with cheers.

is large and complete in all its departments.
Hats. caps. trunks, valses, &c, in varieties
equal to any. Not only will it be to the advan-
tage Of all desiring to purchase ready made

we would say to those wanting anything in that
line, give him call.
