DEATH OF WIN. s. O'BKIEN.

After a lingering illness, William ;.
O'Brien, of the firm OF Flood q
O'Brien, died yesterday at San Rafael,
California, a notice Of which may be
found in the Geographic dispatches oil
this morning. For many months past
Mr., O'Brien had been suffering severe
ly from an enlargement of the liver,
and on several ccasions during that
period his relatives and friends bad
cause to feel serious alarm. At times
he gained strength, and the disease
abated its force, but from the very first
It had been evident that he would
never regain his lost vigor. Early last
week MI. O'Brieu was taken to San
Rafael. 1t was hoped that the mild
and equable climate Of the lovely viii
lage would have q favorable effect in
his case. The removal, it may also be
said, was in accordance with his own
wishes, for the village had many
pleasant associations for him. In
years past, whilo his sister resided
there, it was his custom to visit san
Rafael every week, and he conceived a
warm attachment for the place. Since
his removal, however, Mr.. O'Brien's
health steadily declined, and yesterday
his case assumed such an unfavorable
phase that it vas deemed e~xpedient to
summon to his bedside those of his
nearest friends. Mr.. O'Brien's death
will in no wise affect the business OF
the firm of which he was q member.
His large fortune will doubtless re-
main with the firm under the control
of MI. Flood, as it has done heretofore.

Suicide and Life Insurance.

The United States Supreme Court
has jast rendered decision which is
of interest al least to life insurance
companies as settling the qg sstion of
liability for policies issned to persons
who commit snicide. In the case of
Bigelow vs.. Brooklyn Life Insurance
Company, which was carried to the
Supreme Court on an appeal from
the Circuit Court Of the Northern
District O. Illinois, the policy con-
tanned provision disclaiming liabiI.
ity in the case of the policy holders
suicide, whether sane or insane. The
decision of the lower court was that
when the policy of insurance provide
cd that it should be void, in case the
insured should commit suicide, sane
or insane, the contract should hold,
and the heirs of the deceased have
no legal claims upon the company,
as it could not be seen Why insurance
companies cannot limit their risks in
any manner they see fit, provided

They are as follows, in kind and con

Gibson 4 Co. ceased work in 1871
A. w. Emery's furnace, situated
near Rockville, is reverbatory, with
q capacity of 5000 pounds TO every

furnace, situated near British Hollow,
is blast furnace OF one hearth.
Previous to 1868, all the ore from
the Beetown district was smelted at
these furnaces, in addition to that
which they now smelt, which COM
prises the mines of Potosi. British and
Dutch Hollows, and Rockville.
A detailed statement of the ore
smelted at the several furnaces could

MINERAL POINT DlsTRIcT.


The ore smelted at the Mineral
Point furnaces is derived from all the
mines and diggings in the vicinity of
the city. Ore is also brought here in
many cases from long distances. The
ore of the following districts is also
smelted here, viz: Mifflin, Linden,
Lost Grove, Diamond Grove, Dukes
Prairie, and Wiota.
There are two furnaces now in one
ration. No. ] owned by Mr.. James
Spensley is situated one mile west of
the city, on the Spensley branch of
the Pecatonica. 1t is a reverberatory
with capacity OF $500 lbs. per day.
There is also blast furnace here of
two hearths, but it is seldom used, ex.
cept for smelling Stag and large ore.
Furnace No. 2, is situated abou. a
mile above No. 1, on the same stream.
and is operated by Mr.. Spensley.
There is blast furnace of three
hearths, and reverberatory. The
latter is the only one now used.
A full statement has been given by
Mr.. James Spensley OF furnace No /,
and is inserted below, with the ex>
ception of the years 1862 and 1868,
which has been estimated from an
average of the others. The amount
OF ore smelted at furnace No. 2, from
1868 to 1872 inclusive, is estimated
by Mr.. John Spensley at 1858, 764fbs.
AS the annual product in this district
has been comparatively uniform, the
average annual product may be esti-
mated at one-tenth of it.

rain Of minute proiectiles; they p%irouette

ton oil the retinal impression transforms

These are the bacteria. "Has this null

minAl air carried into the TASKS by the
entering air 2" II the former be true,
how does Il happen that the ffty.four IN.
Infused lasks are destitute Of all forms Of
lie? Is II said that the air itself Is the
one thing needed 10 make up the dorment
infusion? Well, let that be tried.
Twenty.three Of the TASKS are taken TO
a hayloft and with q pair Of steel pliers
their sealed ends are shipped of. At
once, Of course, there is an thrush OF air.
Then twenty-seyen are taken to 4 ledge
overlooking the Aletsch glacier, about
200 feet above the hay.loft, from which
ledge the mountain falls almost precipi.
tously 10 the northeast for about q thou.
sand feet. The description that follows
Is so typical Of the careful processes that
we cannot forbear quoting Il in full:
A gentle wind blows toward us from
the northeast-that is, across the crests
and snow. fields Of the Overland Noun
tains. We are, therefore, bathed by air
which must have been for = good while
out oil practical contact with either animal
or vegetable life. l stand carefully TO
leeward Of the TASKS, for no dust or parti.
Gle from my clothes or body must be
blown toward them. An assistant ignites
the spirit.lamp, into the flame Of which l
plunge the pliers, thereby destroying all
attached germs or organisms. Then l
snip of the sealed end Of the flask. Prior
to every shipping the same process Is
gone through, no flask being opened with.
out the previous cleansing Of the pliers
by the flame. In this way we charge Il
twenty-seven TASKS with clean, viyifying
mountain sir.
Now note the result. In three days
every one Of the % TASKS opened in the
hay loft were invaded by organisms, but
any one can see where a ray Of sunlight
breaks through a chink. is full Of organ
isms. After three weeks exposure to
precisely the same conditions, not n Of
q TASKS opened in the free air but Is "a
clear as on the day it was brought from
London.
What is the conclusion? Is not the
inference imperative that 1t is not the air
OF the loft-which is connected by q con.
stantly open door with the general
atmosphere-butsomethin that is within
the air that has produced the observed
effects?
This is in the very best style Of the
scientific method. 1t Is cartesian in that
it doubts everything; and Apostolic in
that II proves all things. The results are
stated in a modest, simple, and admirable
manner. There is no arrogance anywhere
in the article. 1t is entirely free from
dogmatism. II is clear, straightforward,
and thoroughly honest. There is no air
OF personal triumph in il; no growing
over q discounted opponent. Thus
always should the search for truth be
conducted.
