Boating accident.

T. S. Clark, his cousin, Miss Caroline
Roberts, and the two Miss Nortons were out
boat.riding Sunday afternoon and as the
party were efecting landing at Salick's
building just before dark, Miss Roberts
fell into the river from the stern Of the boat
and Immediately sank in water 10 feet
deep. 1t was but the work of a moment
for Mr.. Clark, who was at the bow of the
boat, to jump in to rescue the young lady
whom he caught in his arms as she came
up from her involuntary bath. Through
great efforts Mr.. Clark kept Miss Roberts
above water and neared the boat with
her, at which point in the exciting
adventure F. Specht reached the scene
and assisted Mr.. Clark in lifting Mis- Rob-
erts into the boat. Fortunately Mis- Rob
erts did not swallow much water, using
the precau;ion to keep her mouth closed
and although considerably exhausted
soon recovered from the effects of the &C
cident. Altogether it is deemed very
narrow escape for Miss Roberts and Mr..
Clark is deserving of much praise for his
heroic effort.

Southwestern University.

According to notice in to-day's paper,
the classes in the preparatory, academic,
normal and collegiate courses begin
promptly next Wednesday, Aug. Goth.
Among the recent changes, we notice
change in the right direction; viz, that
students intending to teach are required
pass the required county examination
papers in photography, orthoepy, gram
mar, geography, history, civil govern
ment and arithmetic before they receive
the normal diploma. Also more time is
to be given to those entering on bust
ness course, as penmanship, commercial
arithmetic, commercial correspondence
and bookkeeping are to be raised!to a
standard equal to that of the best bust
nesscolleges. To those entering the col
legiate classes, it sufices to say, that the
Institution, now entering on its 18th year,
has gained reputation in the ancient
and modern languages. We regret, how
ever, to state that owing to want of time
and of room, the ladies' department. has
to be discontinued. Having such an in
stitution in our midst, we can advise our
inhabitants to avail themselves of this
opportunity, and provide their sons with
q thorough education.

OBITUARY..

Peter March departed this life at his
home in the First ward, last Saturday
August 18th, 1882, after an illness OF
some weeks from dropsy, aged ~ years
Deceased was native of Canada Of ono
hawk Dutch" extraction, speaking Ger
man fuently, and came tc this city to re-
side some 80 years ago. Mr.. March was
well informed and naturally a person OF
fine instincts and gentlemaly bearing, but
through the requirement of unfortunate
habits he had for some years lead lone
ly and abandoned life, living solitary
and retired at his home on the corner CT
Second and Wisconsin streets. He fol-
lowed the artist profession and IN early
life was a portrait painter of no mean
pretensions but of late years owing to dis
engagements and the consequent neglect
of himself he had done little in this line,
but worked with the brush at whatever
small Jobs came in his way. A well-known
and familiar character among us for a
long time, notwithstanding his short
comings, and the sad and unhappy
phases attached to his life, many in our
midst will shed tear and heave a sigh
in memory of "old Peter March," as he
was commonly called.
Mr.. March was bachelor. His funer-
al was9 held from the residence of G. II.
Gardner in the Sixth ward, Monday at
ternoon, his relatives and many of his
old friends following the remains to their
last resting place i'll Oak Hill Cemetery.
Rev. G. S. Hubbs, of the M. E. Church,
conducted the funeral services.
Mrs. Alvin E. Calhoun died last Fri
day at her home in the Fifth ward, after
an illness of some weeks. 1t is less than
month since, that we recorded the death
of her infant daughter and now is told
the story of the mother following the lit
tie one to the world beyond. Mrs. Cal
houn leaves husband to mourn her sad
death. Her remains were taken to Osh-
kosh, her former home, for interment.

AUeOe IL attempt ut ImCenCJi0f ism.

A girl named Annie Berg, servant in
the family of T. Rosenbaum, was arrest
ed last Thursday morning charged with
attempting to set fire to Rosenbaum' s
house on Fifth street. tits said that ever
since the burning of Rosenbaum's barn a
few weeks since, the girl has sbeen sus-
pected of having set it on fire. Mr.. Rosen-
baum watched the girls movements and
it is claimed caught her in the act of fir
ing his house At first she denied hav-
ing any such intention but finally admit
ted it and also owned up to setting fire to
the barn. What her motive could have
been in either case does not transpire
and the affair is shrouded in mystery.
The girl was taken before Justice Halli-
ger and sent to Jail to await trial before
the Circuit Court. Many are of the opin
ion that she is not in her right mind.

past; that during that time he has
been resident Of East Saginaw, ex-
cept about three years when he was alb
sent in Germany prosecuting bis nusica'
studies; and that during my entire &C
quaintance with him his daily walk has
been such as to commend him to the con-
fidence and esteem of every person who
has had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
I know of no young gentleman whose

to command greater respect than that

favorable consideration of those who de-
sire the services of skillful and profci-

DTInE for the Harvest Field.

A very simple drinkifor the harvest field
is recommended. It is thin oatmeal and
water with little sugar mixed in these
proportions. Take one-fourth of a pound
of oatmeal and two or three quarts of wa
ter, boil it well, then add one ounce or
one-halfounce of brown sugar. Shake
up the oatmeal well through the liquid
In summer drink this cold, in winter hot.
Many will find it more agreeable when
piece of lemon peel is boiled with it..
It will give more strength and endur-
ance than any drink yet compounded,
and quench thirst equally as well. Give
it trial.

We have been handed by VIM

! lar of the Chicago, Burlington q Quincy
Railroad setting forth the inducements
offered to the purchasers of land in Ne
braska from this company. Dir. Hum

1t is rumored that the democrats in
tend nominating Frank Piper, OF Ixonia,
for county treasurer this fall. We have
reason to doubt the truth of this rumor
on the principle that the democracy are
not usually nominating as good men as
Mr.. Piper. Should he be the nominee, az
intimated, tie Republicans would be
compelled to bring out their best timber
in order to beat him which they would
probably do.
1t appears there is one privilege vouch-
safed to white men not possessed by
Indians and it is that of being struck by
lightning. Indians will not cook in
their wigwams because they have the
ory that if they were to cook inside the
steam would collect in their clothing and
draw the lightning. The Rev. Thomas
S. Dana, an educated Indian, says he
does not know whether or not it is attrlb-
utable to that fact, but it is certain no
Indian wigwam was ever struck by light
ming, and no Indian has ever been killed
by that fluid in 100 years.

Northwestern, they say, never goes in
