last week, were borne w this gentle
man aud bis son o. I. SCHNEIDER. The
unfortunate man had but $500 on his

that he had placed some 5000 in the
hands of some one for safe keeping.
If this be true, the custodian Of this
money should come forward like an

Schinalor are out between $50 and
$50, besides their time and trouble.

The marriage of Nicholas Keller and
MissBrnestine Nitsbke, of Lake Charles,
was eopsHmnated on Tuesday even
ing, t2th inst, Rev. J. II. Bohmfalk
officiating. The contracting parties
were quite young to enter into so
solemn a, compact as the marriage
state involves, but we trust they viii
have no cause to regret their action.
The groom was member of the Nu-
tual Marriage Aid Association, which
will entitle him to a $500 benefit,
The rules of the association require
that person must be member six
months before they are entitled to
benefits Young Keller waited one day
over the time, thus securing $500.

Dissrietc ourt.

But little Of any importance has
been transacted in the district court
this week. Sentences have been pro-
nouneed upon the following parties /:
VIM. Parish, convicted of man
slaughter; sentenced to twenty years
bard labor in the penitentiary and a
fine of $40 and costs Of proceedings.
John Hunter, colored, convicted Of
larceny; sentenced to twelve months
at hard labor in the penitentiary.
w. Z. Sherman, convicted of lar
ceny; sentenced to one days confne-
ment in the parish jail. Sberman's
light sentence is owing to the fact
that he was perhaps instrumental in
preventing the escape of prisoners who
had succeeded in Kidding themselves
of their chains, by giving timely warn
ing to the authorities, and his previous
long confinement.
Court will doubtless adjourn early
next week, the bulk Of the business
of the term being about disposed Of.

Hard and Soft Water.

You often hear of water for household
purposes being called sshard" and
''soft." The reason why some waters,
especially spring-water, are "hard"
is owing to the mineral matters dissolved
in them. Rdu-water is never s'hard :"
because it Is nearly free of solid matter.
The reason you had such an uncomfort-
able wash and shave this morning at
your friends house was owing to the
water being largely charged with lime
and magnesia. When the soap Is rub
bed between the palms In water of this
description, the steario acid in the oil of
the soap combines with the lime and
magnesia, and forms compounds which
the water cannot dissolve; and hence
the provoking curdiness you observed.
For the lather to be perfect one, COM
plete solution of the constituents of the
soap must take place, and in pure water
this would be the case. But some waters
are permanently hard, while some are
only temporarily so. Permanent hard
ness Is caused when the water Is charged
with sulphate of lime and magnesia, and
temporary hardness by oarbonates Of
lime and magnesia. Pure water dissolves
the sulphates, but not the carbonates.
Then how do the carbonates come to be
in the water at allP The reason is this:
All natural waters, but especially spring
and well water, contain more or less free
carbonic-acid gas in q state of sbsorp-
ton, and, when thus charged, are capa-
BILE of dissolving the carbonates; but
whenever this gas Is expelled from the
water, say by boiling 1t, the oarbonates
are at once deposited; and this accounts
for the incrustation in the kettle; and
when this takes place the water becomes
quite soft. The boiling does not affect
the sulphates to any degree in this way
in water that Is permanently "hard."
Temporarily hard water can be made
soft by more means than boiling alone.
If tubful of it at night be stirred up
with little ssslaked" lime and allowed
TO settle, in the morning there will be a
white deposit at the bottom of the tub,
and the water will be found to be quite
''soft," because the lime added will
combine with the free carbonic-acid gas
in the water, and the whole of the
carbonates will become deposited, in
virtue of their insolubility in water with
out this gas.
For drinking purposes, rain-water,
after being passed through q charcoal
filter, to remove the organic matter it
contains, is the most wholesome for
adults. The general objection is its
tastelessness. A pinch of salt will
remedy this. For the young, however,
solid matter in the water, the right kind,
such as lime and magnesia, is good, as
these go to build up the bony structures

More About Gas.

The practicability of lighting our little
town throughout with firstclass system
of Petroleum Gas, is being quite thorough
ly agitated among our citizens. Through
an interview with the gentlemen who are
now here in the interest of this enterprise,
we are enabled TO give our readers a slight
insight to the expense of this new Ito our
town. luxury and improvement. In case
they are successful in getting the encour-
agement necessary to warrant the invest
ment, they propose to erect fine brick
building, with capacity and suitable for
the entire works, including gasometers for
storing, and apparatus for the manufacture
of the gas, lay supply mains through all
the streets requiring consumption, erect
fine iron lamp posts where needed, and
light and extinguish the same. For these
benefits they will ask US to pay $3.50 per
1000 ft., as compared with coal gas, which
from all the reports we can gather, is very
reasonable, as quite number of towns we
now have in mind are paying at a rate of
$200 to $2.75 per 1000, and lest it may be
supposed the economy in prices is caused
by economy in quality as well, we are
cited to the towns of Upper Sandusky,
Springfield, Fostoria, and numerous other
towns in our State that have been using
this system the past five years. AT these
figures, the expense of having pleasant,
steady light, always ready, perfectly safe,
Will be but a trifle more than that of burn
ing coal oil, while the annoyance of greasy
lamps, smoky and broken chimneys, and
a tired patience, to say nothing of the dan
ger of explosions, will be a thing of the
past. 1t remains for US to say whether we
will or will not take another step forward
in this day of improvement, and keep
Wellington at the head, as it has been
heretofore, of all towns of its size. We
here express our opinion, and say we think
the verdict is to be, we will.
1t will require about 70 consumers and
so lamps to warrant the erection of sue
cessful gas works here.
