FOUNTAIN COUNTY FATALITIES. A REGULAR TROPICAL CYCLONE. FIVF OR SIX PERSONS KILLED A feCORK OB M0RK WOUNDED RKMAEKaBLE KSCAPES FROM DEATH HCOE ROCKS THRESHING MACHINES AND ECOOIES KLY IN THE WIND HOUSKS LAID LOW FORESTS TORN CP BY TÜR ROOTS THOUSANDS OF BUSHELS OF OtCAIN SCATTERED OVER THK EARTH DELUDE OF WATERS DESTRUCTION ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND. As particulars are obtained of the terrible storm of Tuesday, which swooped down upon the Wabash valley, come in it Is clear tht the visitor to Fountain county was a distinct case of the tropical cyclone, or tornado, which destroys everything in its piih. These whirls in the atmosphere, accompanied with clouds, rain and bail, areot tie form ot aa Inverted conp, and the rate of motion near the apex 1 8" great as to be irresitibl. Sometimes the cloud does not descend so as to reab the earth at all, at other time it touches the surface traveling a short distance, then rises egaln and parses away. In this instance it is evident that thewhiiling cone repeated the operation of descending and i hire so as to airike ceitaln noinUand to pass over oihers intervening. Wheie tLe puint of tbn cone touches material. objects it makes a clear sweep. Nothing can resist it orxtand. Houses, trees, rocks, animals aod portions cf the earth itself are carried by unmeasured power,like leathers away from the earth. Such was the case in Iowa a year or two ago, in which cows and sheep .re re "W to have bean teen fly iL g through the air like birds. The storm ot Tuesday was loarlully heavy over n considerable Kcop-e of country extending fro.u Danville, Illinois, twelve miles west oi the Wabah river, to Crawfordsville, in Montgomery county of this state. At Danville tne fail of water was like a solid rata raet, which entirely flooded the city in a manner similar to that described at Crawford J ville below. At Perrysville, a small town on th9 Wabash, in Vermilion county, nenly half way between Danville and Harveysburg, the tsmpest was terrific, fore8'..doiog ita work a little furtheron. Tbe couutry swept by the storm is one of the riebet t sections in the state, but largely cjvrred with tine, heavy timber, except tbe prolific farms, like that cf Mr. Marshall, who had 2.500 bushels of wheat sown over the forests grtuitously. Numerous DESCRIPTIONS AND INCIDENTS are given by individuals and the pres?, which are thrilling.and in several cases made awful by the destruction of human lie. Tba Attioa Ledger sive the following account: M r Loeb and Ike Solomon were at tbe notel iu Harveysburg when the storm came up. which was jut before mpper. In tbe town there waa little more than a heavy rain, but it was noticed that north of tne place something of a more serious nature was transpiring. The air was thick with flyiojj debris and the heavens were dark es night, betokening a storm of more than usual severity. Yesterday morning, on tneir way home, Loeb and Solomon came: through that region, and describe thec?ne es terrible beyond description. Houses w?re swept irom their foundations and literally torn into shreds, scattering tbe pieces for miles along the path of the storm Höge trees were twisted ofl or torn up by tbe roots and carried to great distances. Fences and crops were swept to utter obliV' ten. Wheat shocks were blown into the air, and the srain as completely threshed out as i( run through a machine. The scene is one of utter desolation, and trie los will be very great. But tbe mcst terrible feature was the dreadful loss of less than four persons of the storm human life. No were killed. The following is a partial list of the killed and iojured: Jefferson Sjwers, badly injured not expected to live; wife and daugi-ter-in-Iaw killed; Wm. Newman, injured; A&ron Johnson's daughter, killed; Jacob Sample's sister killed and mother injured. Charles Marshall's new bouse, built last year, was torn to pieces and laid flat with the earth. Ill wife and three children took refuge in the cellar, while he and tbe remaining child staid in the house. All miraculously escapedwithout bodily harm. We have no nvjans of estimating the amrunt ot damage done. Oar informant savH the rath of the storm was a boat 160 yards wide, and seemed to extend lor miles. The Crawlordsville Journal haa the most detailed statement yet presented, as follows: The storm of Tuesday evening, which passed high above us, visited some sections south and west of U3 with gieat destruction, passing over tbe northern part of Vermilion county and the southern jart of Fountain in the shspe of a furious tornado, -It neems to have come from the northwest, firat striking near Perrysville atd expending its greatest lorco on the farm of a Mr. Marshall, about a mile and a half r.orih ol Harveysburg, Fountain county. It bad traveled in about an easterly direction and seemed to strike the ground with auch force that it rebounded lik a rubber ball, skipping a farm or two, ami then striking again with great violence. It cut an average s warth of about a quarter oi a mile in width, which, however, narrowed down at the most destructive point, on Mr. Marshall's farm, to about forty rod?. In its DESTRUCTION OF LIFE-AND FROPERTT, probably no tornado has ever visited the country w ith such calamitous results. In the first part oi its course it took down the residence of a man named Mack, and un roofed barns belonging to Solomon Jone?, William Cbenoweth tn 1 Jacob Bitzer. TLe last named alto suffered the loss of the roof of i bis dwelling, as did also Abe Bensinger. Of the families in tbe path of the destroyer, S. E. Sowers, in Fountain county, Is tbe most unfortunate. They had just come from the builal ol a child t oat day,andof that household of five persons, but now one survive, little boy with both his arms broken. Mrs. Sower?, a niece who was temporarily Mapping with the fainilv, and another per? son were killed instantly. Mr. Sowers, sr., died Wednesday night, and his married sou was reDorted dead Thursday morning. The honso is a ma s of ruins, which ia the case cf about every thing on -the place. As far as known the only other case attended with loss ot life was that of Mr. Sample As. bafore stated, the tornado's tury was at its maximum on tbe farm of Mr. Charles Marshall. Mr. Marshall heard it coming, and immediately proceeded to put his family in the cellar. All were in but himself and little boy, when the wind blew the door shot, and "be was unable to open it. They then started for tbe smoke house, hoping to get in the cellar, but the building was blown over on them and lodged - on a lueat barrel, whlob aved them from bein crushed. Toey were all unhurt. Everything in the sYape of grain, timber, etc., is literally wept from this farm. Mr. Marsball said ttjtit be had 2,500 bushels of wheat, ot which he does cot think there are now 25 lei t. Tbe wind carried the sheaves up in the air until it was almost black with them, whirling them around in large circles as it they were issuing from a large funnel. The woods are filled and sown with the wheat. All his fine timber was destroyed. This in itself is a great los?, as is was said to have been of a very superior and handsome growth. In one place a great amount of earth was dug up, and some beets laid out on the ground. A LARGE COULD ER, the lowest estimate of ita weight being 1,500

pounds, was moved several feet. One house waa blown to pieces and tbe floor found over a mile away. A very valuable orchard, one of two in that section of country, was completely twisted to pieces. A large amount of clothing and bedding was blown into tbe woods and torn into shreds. One man was lucky enough in his misfortunes, to find an okl abos out by bis stable, In which he bad deposited 99. lie also bad some silver pieces which were blown around, but he succeeded in finding them, all but one piece. Several horses were badly injured. Mr. Marshall lost one of considerable value. The Crawfordsville Review gives additional particulars: In Fountain, between Harveysburg and Jackville.tbere was a terrific hurricane. It swept over a space oi a hall a mile, -carrying everything before it, houses,, trees, barns, lences, and even tbe growing crops. The bouse of Alex. Sowers was completely riddled, and bis wife, daughter, father and mother killed, and he himself was seriously injured. In this vicinity we hear that there were nineteen persons wounded, and several ' bouees were blown down by the storm. One man had fust finished setting up a threshing machine and before anything could be done It was struck by the hurricane, and not a vestige of tbe machine was lef; to mark the place it bad stood. Mr. Marshall's louse was swept down and bis fanily barely escaped with their lives by taking refuge in the cellar. It is rumored that one man was blown entirely away, and has not since been heard from. As tbe storm came cp David Pearson's wile with the children sought safety under the bed. Just as they all had got under the bed tbe chimney was blown into tha room and would inevitably have killed them all had it not been for their timely escape. One man bad iust unhitched bis horse from bis buzgy and the buggy was taken up. capaizd and carried away as if it had leen a mere straw in tfce wind. These are tb particulars as far as we could learn them from this section. A NOTICEABLE PHENOMENON fist afcer tbe storm was a visit of the Ephemera. Those little white fliese traveling through the air bad the appearance of a snow storm. Tbey visit us but once a year, and only live a day. It is to be hoped they picked the worst day ot the year to pay their visit. We nave actempted to portray the most noticeable features ot the storm in our midst. As to the damage dona the farming cummunlty we can form no conception, but know it must be very great. The Review describee the storm in Crawfordsville, and some incidents as follows: None of the gutters or drain pipes were large enough to carry off the water.' Maurice L9e'a cellar, on Esst Market street, was fillad, and Mr. Walls's kitchen adjoining was watered to the depth of four or five feet. Had Mrn.

wans attempted to gee sapper 'luesday evening she would have been compelled to dive benath the water's surface to find the cook stove, for that useful piece of kitchen furniture, as well as all the utensils' thereto belonging, were submerged, except the dish pan and tin cups and "eich like," and they were "afloat, afloat on the swift rolling tide." Harve Tinsley and Arch. Martin, of the firm of Tinsley, Martin k Mills, were several miles out in the western part of the county when the rain came on, and attempted to come home In the night, but a culveit was washed out about three miles from the city, near the residence of Jacob Meintire. Arch did the driying, and plunged headlong into the creek and called on Harve to "jump," which he did. It was dark as a dungeon, which made the situation some what critical. Finally, by tbe assistance of Mr. Mclntire, they got their horses loose by cutting the traces, and leaving the buggy stand until morning. Two hundred and thirty barrels of peer were spoiled at the brewery Tuesday night by being surrounded by the water which ran into tbe cellar. Dur ing the storm a large quantity of i wheat, straw and even half sheaves of wheat fell upon onr streets, and limbsjandibrush were seen traveling through the atmosphere. It was evident that there bad been a "big wind" somewhere, and the direction tbe debris was traveling indicated that the location tt it was in the northeast. THEY PASSED IT ALONG. A TERRIBLE DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN KENTUCKY DEADLY DISCUSSION BETWEEN DOCTORS. . A special Trom Cynthlana, Ky.,to the Cincinnati Enquirer says: A terrible double tragedy occurred here this evening, in which Dr. E. J. Peckover and Dr. C. L. Donrally were both killed. It seems that they had an altercation yesterday ,about some pecuniary maf.ers, and re ck over caiiea uonnany a liar. But nothing strious was thought of the matter until this evening. About five o'clock Dr. Donnally was near Dr. Peckover's office door, when Peckover coming out, Dr. Donnally called to him and said: "You called me a liarycsterday," and as Dr. Peckover turned around facicg bim Donnally deliberately shot Peckover, the ball passing through the heart, killinz him almost instantly. Douually immedifciely gave himself up, Deputy Marshal II, T. Hotfum and ConsUble James Ewalt taking charge of him About a quatt-r before 6 o'clock, while be was still in charge of the officers, and in the county judge's office, awaiting his preliminary trial, "R. H. Ridgely, a brcther-in-law ot Dr. Peckover, rushed into tbe room, drev a pistol, fired and killed Donnally iuttantly. Itidgly is now in custody. Peckover, when shot, said to some one near by, "Donnally has shot me." At the shootini: of Donnally there was but three persoi a in the Judge's office the judge himself and the two officers before named. The crowd had gone out aud were stinding around in the yard. Donnally was shot in tbe left side of tbo upper part ot the abdomen, four inches from tho navel. Wten shot he fell over ont ot the chiir he was sitting in, exclaimed Ob, God," and died. Both of the victims were men highly respected, and both weie Masons, Peckover being a Knight Temolar ot the highest rank. The tragedy has cast a gloom over tbe city, and la greatly to ba regretted, as this city has tor many years enjoyed tbe nan e of being one of the most orderly and qaiet towns in Kentucky. Ridgely is in jail, and will probably have bis examination to-morrow morning. Dr. Peckover has a young daughter visiting at tbe residence of J. M. Blackburn, late of Covington, now living Dear Florence, Ky. Word was sent her ot tae sad fate of her father this evening. The Pilgrim monument of Plymouth, Mass., is well under way, and sufficient f ands have b -en secured to insnre its completion npto the. point where the statue ot Faith will be placed, before the summer is over. The inscription panels are now being fi -libed in Maine.and a working model of the statue has baen completed bv Dr. Rimmer, and Disced in tbe bauds of Katterson A Co., of Hartford. Conn.. who have tbe con tract for tbe figure. The son of th8 Ut9 Lord Lytton is preparing for tbe press an unfinished novel found among tbe papers of his father. In it there is a fine description of the battle of Plat pi, and one of the characters Is P.usanias. Fronde, the hiatonau, baa sustained a great affliction in the loss of his daughter Rose, a young lady of distinguished loveliness. The historian was ahsent in Africa at $i? lime of her death.

RED CLOUD.

HIS CONDITION AND PROSPECTS. A SENTINEL REPORTER VISITS THK NOBLE ANIMAL, AT HIS HOMK IN EDINBCRO WHY HE HAS NOT BEEN OUT THIS SEASONWHEN HE WILL AGAIN BB ON THE TRACK CHAT WITH HIS OWNER. "Where is Red Cloud" has become the common questions in all circles as well as the one in which "hoes talk" is the universal subject. All Hoofcieis want to know where their Cloud is and to give a correct answer to the quostion together with some laots in regard to his condition and prospects, a Sentinel reporter yesterday took a trip to Edinburg to see the noble animal. Arriving in town, it was but a short search until Billy Wynans, the racer's keeper, was found, and in a lew momenta more tbe Sentinel man was standing in the stall with tbe honest horse, admiring his beauty. There have been several stories set afloat in regard to his having suddenly become lame, and subsequently withdrawn from the Cleveland circuit of meetings. The tact of tbe matter is the horse has been troubled by one leg since last fall, and has not - as ytt beeu entered in a single race, although be has been extensively advertised as having done so. His owner, Mr. James Wade, claims that tbe trouble all came from the use cf tbe flit shoes made for him by Dan Mace's sboer at Rochester last year, which the horse is now wearing. Neither Mr. Wade Dor his son Jonnny.who drives the horse, are clearly sat is fled as to the statement that their pet is shining bis gait. Johnny is sat isfied, however, that the horse is over-reaching more than he used to rxow he reaches about two feet la lroat of his fore feet when going in good time. It is tbe left bind leg that in ijow injured. Tbe tendon or pastern of this leg was injured twice it is thought, once last lal', and when K was aooui neaiea ibis spring ne was Laken out to the track, and sgain INJURED THE LIMB. About the same time he huit liia ribt fore leg, probably by shufiling while being brought down from a break. Again, some of tbe family (they all watch and care for him, especially a young son called "Mac" think Cloud's brother, the four-year old stallion, stepped on him while beisz exer cised. Tbe last time the racer was on the track, which was about two weeks ago, be caught ' the sore left hind leg so severely as to pun tne cross Dr ot the shoe off. He was weariug very lisrht boots at the time, and the one on the inj jred leg plainly shows how he strikes it. 't he two limbs are now very near well. Thev have been bandaged with ground plantain leaves tor a couple or weeks, lbere is no doubt but that be w ill be all souod in a lew davs, as there is no fever at all in the lezs, and the wounds are rapidly healing up. The best time be has made this year is 2:25 on tbe half-mile track at EJinburg. He made tbe halt in ' 1:10 everul times. Mr. Wade intended changing his shoes tack to the old concave kind used by Red Clr-ud npto the time he went to Bufl do. They are a few ounces heavier than the ones now worn by the horse, but the whole f-iuiily are confident he can make much bet ter time with the old shoe, and that be will not interfere with it. He will be taken cut next week with these shoes, and if he then interferes there can be no doubt that hi is shlfti-ig bis gait, something often done by fast horses of bis age. Very few people have any idea of the amount of love, no other word will fit, bestowed upon the horse by the Wade family and tbe peo pie of Edin burg as well. The horse's home is in an ordinary stable in the rear ot the Wade residence, which ia a neat little cot tage, and to a person who has Been noted horses in their palaces, this humble AB0D1 OF RED CLOUD looks exceedingly modest. During the day, farmers who happen in town, "com msreial tourists," citizens of Ediuburg, and in fact everyone who meets any of the Wade family asks, "how is R9d Cloud, to day?" The stable is often visited by stran eers, and the handsome hone admired. At present his tail drags the ground, and although the hair la very fine Wynans and "Mud" tuba crwwl rarA that ttti Vent In pretty shape. These two sleep with the horse at night; that is tbey sleep in a place adjoining bis stall. In (be day time tbe Cloud is kept in a stall or box with no flooring, but with tolerably loose earth and straw. He wears no halter, br in fact anything bat a fly cloth, He is exercised two "hours a day in the ore a lots adjoining the, stable. In another box of the stable, a half brother of Red Cloud, a four year old pacer, is kept, while the stallion is off to another part of the frame building, wblch iustly comes under the title of a barn. Red Cloud was nixie years old on the 13-h of last June, and is "in the prime ol life." He i3 full of a pirits, and when taken out of the ttable tikes great pleasure . in jumping around. "Every time he bas been ou the track this year, he has shown a greater amount of lifa than ever before. That he w ill vet reach a lower figure on time tbere n be no doubt. This year he will not make HIS BEST TIME, but next season it is hoped of the old training and shoes and wore before he got to be few fast horses. v.ill allow by the use be received one of tbe the honest fellow to show what speed he bas In speak ng of his horse Mr. Wade says that he bas i.o doubt that he will beat his best time. When asked if be wanted to sell his horse, or it he had received any prop ositions, he replied that "No one wanted a lam- horse." When on the street he speaks of the animal in a half-interested manner, probably owing to the Met that every one he meets on the street wants to talk to him about "th3 Cloud." At the . stab! however, be, like the rest of the family, londles the famous piece of horse flesh a if he were one of tbe family. It roust be remembered that tbe Wades raised the horse and have become thoroughly in love with him. Wynans, who has "rubt ed" the horse lor about fiveyeare,talks to him a? if he was a human being, and Red Cloud will turn his head and look .at his keeper with a ica lull of intelligence and understanding. Every one who has ever seen the horse knows what an honest trotter he i. Mr. Wade said he did not tbinlt he would take him out before tbe Lafayette race?, the latter D&rt of August. He will not take him there unless the nurse is made lareer. If be does start out at that place be will probably go to Palmer City, Ft. Wayne, the Exposition races, and to Cinciunati. UNCLE WILLIAM ALLEN. A PEN PICTUBE OF HIM HIS EYES THE PROGRAMME OF THE CAMPAIGN. Buell has been interviewing William Allen.and thus writes of bim to the St. Louis Republican: And we went in and caught the august William in the act of enclosing a pair of elderly and dignified legs in a pair of bigblv respectable black doeskin pantaloons. We then witnessed the other beautilul mysteries of a statesman's toilet after which the governor took a pinch of snufl and seated himself in a chair. He sat bolt upright, held his head erect, and shoved his legs directly out in front of him, like a nice young man afiaid to wrinkle his clothes. There is none of the lounger or loafer about Governor Allen. I am told that he has maintained that same bolt, upright position for nearly a centuy, and that during all the vicissitudes of his JoDg and active cireer,

whether as soldier, senator, farmer or gubernatorial candid ste, he bas never ones relaxed that Catonian dignity which is the first of bis characteristics to strike you. Gov. Allen is about Bix feet two inches in heinht, and as straignt and sym-

iuoin.Mwtiygso8 waa when his voice raug wirougn me arches of tbe old senate eusmuar ioriy years airo, sounding in con so u.uwnnu iuiui nenionior hard money and the removal of tbe deposits by Andrew Jackson. His shoulders are broad and square, and above them rises one of the beet snapea neaas in theUnlted States, crowned wiiu s iDicK growth of creamy white hair wnicn is Kept COMBSD AND BRUSHED aa neatly aa il it belonged to some pet of the home circle, Intent upon conquest of the feminine heart. His lace shows scarcely a rurrow, and tUa complexion is of that pecul lar clear red which bosc-eaks good living wunoui excess and a clear conscience. The most remarkable ot Gov. Allen 'a faatnre i his eyes. They are dark blue, and when he Etta warmea up in conversation, snap and rparKie use tne orbs of a boarding school m.as just out for a vacation romp ine tout ensemble is that oi a fine oia gentleman who, like tbe good wine he uwayB uranK, improves with age. I asked him If the democracy proposed to make the canvass lively from now until tbe election. He said no; they had opened at uauipom early wltb a view ot Riving the people something to "eljw on," and now it was proposed to let the thing sweat until aooui me nrst week in September. By , he said, tbe farmers would have done their harvesting, and than tbe fun would begin. "If you want to see a gooa oid-rasnioned, rousing campaign one inn wm uise your DKoo. tingle," said our vraeraura uncie, "come over and take trip around our state about the 10th of sep mujufjr. -Da majority do you expect Gov. Allen?" I inquired. "Oh. I have not set any stakes. I shall fee re-elected without tne snadowof a doubt. The bova intend to rut m tnrougb handsomely, and I am not oorrowing any trouble about the figures." THE DISCOVERER OF ANAESTHESIA. DENUNCIATION OF THE MORTON AND JACKSON FRAUDS THE HONOR REALLY BELONGS TO - BD HORACE WELLS STORY OF THE FIRSTU3E OF GAS AS AN ANTITHETICAL AGENT. An item bas been published in tbe Sonti nel rpgardingthe statue about to be un veiled in Hartford, Conn., to the real dis covererol anae.hesi. In regard t the discovery the Hartf jrd Courant has this to nay: Kisewbere in to-dav'a naner we eiv description of the brooza statue which was yesterday placed in the prk as a fitting uit-uiunmui iae aisoovery or me modern nenesia, me late Dr. Horace Wells ot this city. It was made at the hint expense oi me Btate ana me city, and will stand for au iime as a witness to their conviction that Dr. Wells was the first to discover tbe praeticabilitj of rendering tho human system nipouiiuio iv iJiiiu uunng csntai ana surei en operations. The Idea suggested Itself to Dr. wells during a lecture in this citv on the 10th of D?cember. 1S44. at which nitrous oxya gas was aaminHternd to persons In the audience by Mr. G. Q. Colton of New TTt- . t . . . . ... ioiK. Among luose wdo innaied the gas was air. Eamuei A. Cooley, who became un usually excited, and in jumping around among the seats iDjured both of his shins quite severely. Oa Cooley's recovering his self-possession Dr. Wells inquired oi bim whether he felt any pain from the injuries he naa received, ue replied tkat he was not conscious of havlne received anv ininrv. but upon examination blood waa found Vi be running down his ankles in great profu sion, aud the skin was much abraded. Instantly Dr. Wells expressed to a friend bis belief that the gas would render a man so insentib.e tbat teeth might be " EXTRACTED WITH OUT PAIN. Be reiterated this opinion, the same evening to a brother dentist, and after some onsid eration he declared that he would take th gas the next day and have a defective toot a (a large molar) extracted, and thui test tbe correctness of his theory. The next morning Mr. Colton administered the gas and Dr. Kiggs extracted me tooth, Mr. Wells, upon recovering consciousness, exclaimlncr. "A new era in tooth pulling it did not hurt me more than the prick of a Din." Such is briefly the beginning of what. In its subse qent development, has proven to be one of tne greatest blessings to mankind. Three of tha persons named are now alive to bear witness to tbe truth of tbe statement con cernicg the origin of the anaesthetic idea, Dr. Kiggs, Dr. Colton and Mr. Cooler, but ur, weiu is not nere to defend his claim as the originator a claim which has been attacked by individuals who should rather have acknowledged the fact and with gratitude. We do not propose to enter upon aa:scusion of tne claims or Messrs. Morton and Jackbon tobithe discovsrersof an ac aes thetic agent they claim to have first U3.l ether in surgical operations, but the assertion is alw ays so stated as to to leave upon the reader tbe impression that it was the original discovery of an at aesthetic agent, Two recent instances may be mentioned. In Harper's Magazine for February lat is an article entitled, "First Century of tbe Re public," it is stated that "ether was known tor many centuries before Drs. Morton and Jackson brought it into notice as an ana; t belie in 18-16." Not a word is said about Dr. Dr. Wells's discovery of an anaesthetic iu 1844 two years previously. The first edition of Appleton's Cyclopaedia, in its article upon "AufeitbeticV while it does not state the case fairly for Dr. Wells, doe3 not commit the GRAVE ERROR of ' asserting tbat his claim dates subsequent to that ot Drs. Morton and Jeckson a3 does the new edition Speaking of ether the last edition says: Bat its application as an agent for the re lief of pain during surzical operations was first publicly made at the Massachusett general hospital in Boston, October 16, 1846, by Dr. W. T. G.. Morton of tbat city On January 2nd, of the next year, a new claimant came before the public in the person of Dr. Chas. T. Jackson of the same citv; and still later the same claim was advanced in behalf ot Dr. Horace Wells of Hartford." Here Dr. Wdla is placed still later than Drs. Morton and Jackson in tbe line of claimants. It is not directly asserted in either extract, it will be noiicdd, thai tu original discovery of an ac8?3tbetic agent was made by Drs. Mor ton and Jackson, but only that etber was brought into use by them in 1S46 and '47. Possibly tnev luay be entitled to some credit for the geueral introduction of ethei into surgical practice, but tbe substitution of ether for gas would not merit the name of discovery, and so though the celebrated Dr. Simpson, or .aincurgn, wno mmseii broushtTe'iloroform into use as an anaesthe tic, tor he award the credit t)t the original discovery to Dr. Wells. But in fact Dr. Wells did use ether in i4o, ana actually went to New York- In tbat year and announced his discovery to Dr. Valentine Mott. telline him that "he had used ether in tbo extraction of teeth, and believed tbat it might be used tor the same purpose in great surgical operations." The tact or the discovery in 1S41 by Dr. Horace Wells, of this city, of a method of rendering the system insensible to pain under surgical operations, is as clearly established as any fact n history, and whe'her tne agent employed was nitrous oxyae ga3, suipnuric einer, chloroform or chloric ether, is of no account tha modern idea of procuring antesthesia n the human system originated with Dr. Horace Wells, and it Is a fraud upon the public by suppressing certain facts to give the impression that Drs. Morton and Jack son are entitled to any credit In tbe matter. '

BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. The following biographical notice of a conspicuous citizaa cf Indiau ia furnished to the Sentinel by a correspondent with request to r'-blih: To the tens of thousands of citizen of Indiana wbo have, at times Eat under tlm facetious and rich elcquence of Matthew R. Hull, thesad news of his daatu wni, doubtless, be received with many regrets. II dis J at Alquiria, Fayette county, on Mcnday, the 12t,h of July, 1S75, in tbe 67th year or his ag Mr. Hull, I believe, was born Iu Vi.-glaia, December 1, ISC'J, and tana to tLU etat when he was but a small boy, and rrisrUeel and educated by his uncle, a kind and bjnev.Ment Christian puüernsti as ! farmer by tbe came of Matthew It Jbinsoy, of Fayette county, whose name be bor. Kv?n in the earlier jearäof his life Mr. Hull evinced more than ordinary talents, ana though limited in education and imiarfd to lab-r he still cultivated his mind, and in tba co arseof yars succeeded io makirg himself a man of marked intclli-enco lunch, uioretbari an ordinary sr eakr; i:j.ieed, iu many instances, ha displayed a power of fjsciuatii: oratory which held th thousands cf bit listener? aa if bp some influence of enchauttnent. Educated anions a religious peopl his mind pan&ok ot a decided moril cat, and bence it was not s nrge that he distinguished himself in a leading advocate on the moral suasion principle, a a tempera-ice orator and also as au uaeoaipioiiUirjg 8bolitiori!t.. So apt was he iu bis hit ia both these roles that he uofc unlrt-quently stirred up thewruth of unbelievers in Li3 audience, acd hence he wts cf:or eeu-'d Iz the severest terms by those who did not " See themselves aa others see thtm. For a number of years Mr. Hull served as ar. efacient agent ol the Americau Tract Society. H was tbeu a member ol the Methodist KpUcopal Church. It is probable that hemight have remained a member of that church during lii'e, if he had no:, through prt jadico and constructive guat, beeu expelled therefrom by soma circuii riders who had more zeal than knowledge. Mr. Hull explained the matter of his expulsion once to tne wire or a Methodist preachbr af er the following: He happened to call a; the parsonage t j uee the preacher, and found that, he w absent, but btiug politely invited to remain todinner he tarried. Seated at the table the good sister asked bim to say grace. Excuse me, sister," said he, " I am not lit to asu messings any more." Tbe good woman, of ourse, was embarrassed because of what she conceived to be hr blunder, and after pouring out the coffee, 6ha asked r " Wbat'a tbe matter, Brother HullT I thought you were a Methodist?" "1 was, madam," said he, " but they have turned iu-j out of church." " Why, what for?" " O, for lying," he responded. Had each a dis pensation of left-handed grace happened to him at an earlier staze of hi life. be would have felt, no doubt, thaühswas very sadly injured. But be was then in middle life, and was proud to ttand on what he deemed to be his principles of reform. and in their advocacy and defense he always felt conscious of bis integrity and ready lor i any obloquy. But thus ended his church re- ' laüonship, and ever afterward duricg life, aa. be otten aid, he fought the devil on a BP.OAD AND LIBERAL PLATFORM. ) Possessing a large share of public spirit it, was not remarkable that he, like most of thr American people was, at times, a consider able politician. In the whig cause he stood up for many years for Henry Clay, because he greatly admired the grand Kentucky statesman as being one of the greatest me ji ot hij ege and time. Sasetiaig duria? the war, however, he resumed the sida of the democracy, because, as he uasd to siy ii hf speeches, he was "oppose i to th$ ens'vement ot anv class ot people ;ano, th ?rtfore, he was opposed to white slavery as well as black." As a political canvasser he was noordinary power, for he was ready in organization, keen in sarcasm, and abounded otteu in wit and repartee, which not unfreqnentlv convulsed bis audiences with peal ot lu?hter. He was once, we believe, a member of the Legislature, and, perhaps, acted a while as magistrate, and, with these exceptions, it was bis fortune never to be an oQce-holder. He was too independent to feet cr fawn for office, and he was too radical to be a man of the people, and yet bebad many friends who prized Liui man of integriy, and as a gentleman of honest desires and useful purposes.. Ever arJent and warm-hearted, he was both genial and generous, and bv tbe Im pressive expressions ot his friendship he made friends wherever he went. Still, oneas firm and positive as he waa in his expres sion aod positions could not well help maki ng enemies, especially amonzthoae wbo arealways ready to proscribe where they are not able to convert or govern. Hat personal abuse nfcver detsrre-i him from duty, nor did proscription ever make bim a cow&rd. He felt bimseit In some sense a reformer in fd, and, on this account, hi charity was Aver ready to forgive tbe ignorance and bigotry tbat was bebiud him, while his won derful self-possession always enabled him to preserve hia good humor no matter whatpeople said to bim. Tbat he had his faults and his foibles we may very frankly admit,.. but these are common failures and are emi nently characteristic of our race, for even the - most pious have their weaknesses, and the nner life, if once revealed, would show tbat perfection falls' to tbe lot of only the few. We therefore honor tne memory of Mat. tbew R. Hull, for be bad many traits of goodness as well as ot humanity, and cow that he bas gone, bis earthly race run, we offer this brief tribute to his integrity, as . one wbo respected bim while living, and. now mourns him as a friend of his rac, and as one wbo all hia life stood uras an ardent sympathizer in the weak nesses and wrongs ot humanity.
