Mechanics, Lectures.

The Fifth in lhe Course to Mechanics by
 MT. Alfred R. COnkling.
 MT. Alfred R. Conkling, 8 graduate of Yale, who has travelled extensively in Mexi CO, gave an interesting lecture in North Sheffield hall last evening. The address was one of the Sheffield Scientific school ''Lec- lures to mechanics" The subject was ''The resources of Mexico" The speaker gave an able account of numerous Mexican pro- ducts, prominent among which were the agricultural productions. Sugar cane, bana- mas and other similar fruits are common ip some localities. while corn is produced on the table lands. Two crops of corn may be produced in 8 season and three crops may be produced under some circumstances in a single year. Coffee, sugar, tobacco, cotton and cocoa are extensively produced, although many of the crops depend largely upon irri- gation.
 Agricultural implements are admitted free of duty, and the country is destined to become more prominent as an agricult ural district, Coal of good quality is produc ced, and petro- leum will probably soon be produced in much larger quantities than at present.
 Tbe beautiful plumage of birds in the realm of eternal summer, the floating islands, the railroads, the raising of cattle, and the volcanoes were subjects which the speaker described at length in an interesting manner. The speaker gave vivid description of his ascent of 8 volcano last summer which was IF, ,72O feet high. The illustrated views helped to make the lecture very interesting.

A Double Funeral.

 The Last Sad Rites in the Case
 of Mrs. Lewis and her Daugh-
 ter Jessfe-The Condition of Mr.
 Lewis.
 One of the saddest occasions that has oc- cured in the city in some time was the double funeral yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock of Mrs. Lewis and her daughter Jessie, who were suffocated by gas escaping in the sleeping room at their home on Asylum street. The funeral took place at
 Trinity M. E. church on George street
 There was a very large attendance of mourn ing and sympathizing friends. The caskets'
 each covered with black broadcloth and having silver trimmings and name plate, lay side by side. Mother and daughter were both laid out in becoming dresses, as if in life, and at the breast of each was 8 small bunch of flowers. The faces of the dead looked natural and lifelike as if only sleeping. At the head of the daughters casket was floral cross and an anchor surmounted by white dove with outspread pinions, the offer ing from Bolton & Neely's, where the deceas- ed was a saleswoman. There was also 8 beautiful design from Trinity M. E. Sunday school with the name 'Jessie" upon it in purple blossoms; also an anchor and a cross from the deceased young lady's Sunday school class and from the schoolmates 8 lovely floral star. On the casket of Mrs. Lewis was @ cross and sickle from loving friends. There was also 8 floral de- sign which had upon it "Class of '79" and Jessie which were from the young friends of Miss Lewis who had with her attended nh tributes. MT. George R. Bill had charge of the ceremonies. Rev. MT. Samson offered prayer at the house and the services at the church were an hour later, Rev. Dr. Good sell and Rev. MT. Samson officiating The former made deeply affecting remarks. The music WAS very solemn and appropriate. After the services large number of people viewed the remains. The bearers were John Hum. George Bunnell Waldo Jewett. Louis Boettcher, George Tenollmayer and Ed ward Sanford of Trinity M. E. Sunday school, and Charles A. Baldwin, George R. Bill, Professor Benjamin Jepson, J. M. D. Hendricks George w. Judd and Rollin J. Bunce, the latter being the bearers for Mrs. Lewis funeral. There were two hearses. The interment was in Evergreen cemetery, mother and daughter being inferred side by side in the family lot. MT. John E. Lewis, the greatly afflicted husband and father, lies at the hospital stil in 8 precarious condition His son Walter arrived yesterday from Gin einnsti. Owing to the fathers condition it was not deemed wise to break the news of the calamity which had befallen him, and the matter was deferred to await results. The son leaves to-day to return to Cincinnati, being compelled to return owing to impor-' tant engagements.
 Later we learn that MT. Lewis son broke the sad news to him of the death of his wife and daughter last night. The news was given In such way that Mir. Lewis was not affected by it. The doctors thought it better for his son to do it in 8 quiet way than for anybody else. MT. Lewis condition for recovery last evening was quite favorable.

Death of Mrs. John DonneIIy.

The death of Mrs. Hannah, the young wife of MT. John Donnelly, which occurred at her late home, 124 Ashmun street, brings pain and sorrow to 8 wide circle to whom she was
 much endeared in life. She had been i'll for over 8 year with consumption, and though from the first there was no hope, still she battIed braveIy against its inroads. She had not yet attained her twenty sixth year. and it seemed hard to her to die when she had so much to live for. Only few years ago she was at the altar 8 blooming, hopeful bride, and a sweet little, child had come to bless her union. But when death came it found her ready, and she gave up her young life with gentle resignation that had always marked her character. She had rare graces of mind and person, and these will finger with loving fragrance in the memories of her husband and bereaved family. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning and will without doubt be largely attended.

Letter From Assemblyman Hoag,


 STATE OF NEW YORK, ASSEMBLY CHAMBER,
 ALBANY, April 13, 1883. During my temporary residence here the past winter I contracted severe cold, which for time confined me to my room and ren- dered me unfit to attend to my duties not only suffered all the inconvenienees which usually attend heavy cold, but was afflicted with tightness in the chest, accompanied with severe pain, which made breathing difficult and rest impossible. I tried the usual remedies drops, cough eordials, &c.; but received no substantial relief until I applied A11oook's PoRoUs PLAsTERs on my back and chest.
 These put on when retiring, and was de- lighted to find myself much better the next In two days I was well. This, and the experience have had with Allcock's Plasters in my family, has convinced me that for coughs, sprains, bruises, rheumatism and local pains, Allcock's Porous Plasters are the quickest and most effective remedy extant.
