SUDDEN DEATH.-Last week Miss
Wi lie Awde, daughter of Maj. Thos. H
Awde, near Bethlehem church, this coun-
ty, attended the Normal Institute. She
was a young lady Of prepossessing appear
ance, attractive and vivacious. On Sat
urday she returned to her home, apparent
ly in perfect health, expecting to revisit
the Institute on Monday. But after eat
ing supper she was taking sick and early
Sunday morning she was corpse. Those
who made the:acquai ntance of Miss Awde
on the occasion of her recent visit to this
city, speak Of her in the most affectionate
and flattering terms. her gentle manners
and graces Of person, attracting more than
ordinary attention.
The suddenness and violence of her
death. and the general indications OBJ
served, suggested to the physicians that
poison had probably been used. Of this
there seems to be now little doubt. On
the day upon which she left Staunton for
home. the deceased called at the drug
store of Messrs. Wayt Il Bro, and pur-
chased bottle of strychnine, stating that
her father wanted it to kill rats. She was
known personally to one of the clerks in
the store, Notwithstanding which she was
closely questioned, as is usual, with refer
ence to the purpose for which the poison
was to be used. AS she left the store she
in jocular way to companion
that, from the questions asked, the clerk
must have supposed that she wanted to
kill herself. No cause whatever can be
assigned for the suicide, if such it was.
She never appeared brighter or happier
than on the evening before her death, and
her reason for the fatal step must ever re-
main sad mystery.

THE FIREMENs' PICNIC, at Fit. Def
ance on Thursday last was one of the most
enjoyable social affairs of the season, and
afforded day of real recreation and pleas
ure to all who attended. An excellent
string band was secured and all day long
the trip of merry feet was heard. At no
time was it disagreeably warm a delight
full breeze continually played through the
trees and the freshness of the air banished
all WEAKNESS from the merry-makers. Con-
venient stands afforded lemonade, ice
cream and CONNECTIONS and nothing was
lacking to make the day as enjoyable as
possible. At o'clock when the whistle
blew for the return trip, not few re-
GREETED that the day was done. The fire
men never fail to make their picnics red
letter days in the calendar of Innocent
pleasure.

TIoS or THINGS ar the TIME me RE-
SIGNED,
Rock ISLAND, III. NOV, 30. 1855. 2
To the Editor OF the Ga1otto;
have Just received by mail two copies
OF your paper, containing the communi-
cations of Anon aud PleXus commenting
on the management of the wnter-works.
Now, sir, ! do not wish any one TO
shoulder any mistake of mine, and in
Justice TO the water-works COMMITTEES
viii say that the rate per thousand gall
Ions of water pumped given In the com
mittee report--was a mistake Of my cal
culation and not the committees, gave
the committee the expenses par day OF
twenty-four hours at the pumping sta
ton, which made the cost SOS per null
ion gallons, aud in reducing the cost TO
thousand gallons | misplaced the deci-
NAL point, which made % cents Instead of
$40 cents. The expense estimate that
gave the committee was for the pump
Ing station only. II did not include the
office expense and did not include re-
pairs, which, previous to my taking
charge OF the pumping station, ranged
from $500 to $500 per month
Anon says;"Three months have been
occupied In putting in the new boiler
and pump, and still they are not ready
for use. The work ought 10 have been
done in less than month";
This is mistake. There had been
nothing done mp to my leaving except
putting In the foundation for the pump
and setting the boiler in place. The
briCk-mason who was given the contract
for doing the brick-Wotk did part OF the
work aud had to stop for some castings,
and IN the meantime he was taken down
with the dengue fever. placed tho
Holly pumps la fair working order With
what material was on hand, and, as
hnances were not very flush with the city,
recommended that the work Of mount
ing the pumps be left until there was
more money on hand, which advice was
considered best by the mayor and water
works committee. Consequently | did
not push the work.
PlcXus says "therc must be blame Mt
tached to some one for the failure TO pay
the running expenses OF the whter-works
from Its present revenue whether II ls

whole council is u question to DC an
