Hon. Eben G. Ingersoll's remains wer,
buried at Oak Hill cemetery Just before
sunset on the evening OF the I'd inst. ir
the midst of a terrible thunder-shower and
pouring rain. The funeral services were
held at his late residence, and were unus,,.
al and impressive. The house was crowd.
ed almost to sufocation, nearly all the
distinguished men in Washington being
present. The body lay in velvet casket.
and the casket sat upon two velvet pedes-
tails in the centre of long saloon parlor,
the windows of which were darkened and
chandeliers were blazing with light. The
family and relatives sat about the casket.
and Robert G. Ingersoll stood at his head
while the lid was being screwed down ::
then drawing from his pocket few pages
of manuscript, he laid it upon the coffin
lid and commenced to read. His voice
trembled with emotion, and much that he
said was scarcely audible. 1t was touch
ing tribute of brotherly affection and
eulogy upon the dead mans life and char
acter, and expressed in the very highest
art Of el0quence, OF which Col. Ingersoll
is master:
"My friends, l am going to do that
which the dead oft promised he would do
for me. The loved and loving brother,
husband, father, friend, died where man
hoods morning almost touches noon and
while the shadows were still falling to-
wards the west. He had not passed on
ife's highway the stone that marks the
highest point, but being weary for a mo-
ment he laid down by the wayside, and
using his burden for pillow, fell into that
dreamless sleep that kisses down his eye
lids still. While yet in love with life and
with the world, he passed to
silent and pathetic dust. Yet, after all, it
may be best. just in the happiest, sum

Cure for EydroDh0bia.

The recipe is that of N. Caesar, French
physician: Take two tablespoonfuls Of
fresh chloride of lime. mix it with half .
pint OF water, and with this wash keep tho
wound constantly bathed aud frequently
renewed. The chloride gas possesses the
power of decomposing this tremendous
poison, and renders mild and harmless that
venom against whose resistless attack The
Of medical science has been %
long directed In vain. It is necessary h
add that this wash should be applied q
soon :s possible after the inflicticn OF tho
bite. From 1910 to 1924, the number OF
persons admitted into Breslan Hospital
was lS4, Of whom only two died; from
1883 to 1924, there were admitted into tho
hosl al at Zurich 223 persons bitten by
different animals (lo2 by dogs) of whom

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
Wednesday, Sept. 3, 1870.

The Speareville News, Kansas
seems 20 take il to heart consider
ably because Kansas does not prove
TO be the "best land 10 the world"
and Il mourns TO think that the
lands in Alpens county that were
once thought to be of little or no
value, are now turning out to be
first class agricultural lands. Al
pena county, although in its infan-
CIV, and but very sparsely settled,
will this year turn out at least cal
culation $4,000 bushels Of wheat,
while some estimate it at 10000
which is a yield of only 20 bush
els to the acre; aud this yield car
be depended on every year, while
In Kansas, with such occurrences
as this year, there is nothing GER
tain about crops. Think of it-no
rain for eight months, wheat two
bushels to the acre, potatoes and
corn a failure. We do not wonder
that the News feels a little uneasy
when it knows that the crops never
fail in Michigan, and statistics
show that this State is the best for
agricultural pursuits of any in the
union, and northern Michigan is
the best portion of the State. 1t
is not necessary that a man should
see Kansas, the doleful walls that
come from that country is sufficient
to satisfy any one.

Camp Williams. August 9th,
1S79.-Monday opened cold and
disagreeable with strong wind
blowing from the lake, and the dust,
the all prevailing dust, flying in
dense clouds. Still it was the
eventful day for the regiment, and

man9vers doing much credit to
the service, and receiving the
hearty applause of the command

Company II, Alpcna Guards.

II will be seen that the Fort
Huron Guards carried off the con-
test for the Roehm 81 Wright prize,
making a total score of 176, which
is true but needs explanation. 1t
seems that as company ID had
nearly finished shooting and while
McEwan was getting his position
and before he bad pointed his gun
at the target at all, the gun was
accidentally discharged in the air;
he called for a judgement by the
officer having the match in charge
who told him if no one offered any
objection he might shoot again ;
no one made any protest or object
ed and he shot and made a score
of three, making company DIS
score 176. After some difficulty,
it has been decided that the Bay
CITY and Port Huron companies
shall shoot off the tie at Flint.
The encampment has been a
success as far as it has gone, in
tending to bring about an acquaint-
anceship and good feeling between
the different companies, and to
awaken a generous rivalry among
them. 1t has also, though clearly
too short in its duration to accom-
plish much in the way of produc-
ing finished excellence in the school
of the battalion, given much prac-
teal instruction in that direction,
and has done more to place the
regiment in shape for work in case
necessity should arise for its
services, than months of mere
study of the tactics and regulations
could have done. Two weeks
would be mono too short time fol
an encampment to last, but "hall
loaf is better than no bread,
and the citizens of Michigan have
cause to be grateful for the in
creasing favor with which th'
State troops are regarded by tn
legislature and the resulting en-
couragement which they are re
ceiving.
The conduct of the men, as |
rule, has been excellent, and whil
there have been some instances o
breaches of discipline, drunken
ness and unsoldierly conduct, thes
: have been less numerous than eve
