Lot.nl Editor.
If tliero lire any improvements or doHclfiioles
notitculilo in the local tlepannent of the Fkee
Tiudkii this week, it must be attributed to the
fact that we have been without tbo uiljunct of a
loeol editor. Our Mr. Miss took liis dUfliurjte a
week ft;o, and henceforth la c)iar;rii with und
assumes do responsibilities or functions In that
ilepartiueut or the Fkeb Tkadkk. Wo have
found him adept In tiie business, competent and
eflkleut, and hope in the new field he proposes
to enter he will find his labors more remuneru.
tive to himself. ' , '
After the present week Eaton (i. Osma.v will
take chnrire of the local ' department of this
paper, whose enxiiiremeiits alone we shall hold
ourseves responsible for ard make Rood In that
department. Ilopinu he may receive the suuu

To the nmhra tf' Hit Frkk Tuadku With the
issue of Jhls number of the Fkeb Trader my
connection with the most reliable weekly in the
country as city editor ceases. Entirely satisfied
with the rrunnjcement of the paper und alike
uuduMjUlitfutions.tojU publishers. and. rcadurs,
I am pleased to staU that my departure is vol
untary and that wherever my lot may he cast I
shall ever look back to my journalistic cureer in
Ottawa with the greatest pleasure.
To the reader! of the Fkec Trader I desire to
say, in parting, that my efforts to furnish them
a lively und enterprising paper have been
prompted by no motive to harm, and if any have
taken offense at my frivolous pleasantries, to
them I say, "I am ready to be forgiven."
In the future the place will he tilled by E. .
Osmau, son of thuseulor editor, whom I cheer,
fully Introduce to the readers of the Free
Trader as one fully worthy of receiving every
courtesy shown to me.
In the belief that Ottawa will Vo my 'abiding
place, and that at no distant day I may greet my
many friends again on paper,
I am, very respectfully.

There was an error of date in the announce

posed re-uuicn of the 11th Illiuois regiment at
Ottawa. The date is October 27th, not Stith, as
printed last week. ' , I

to attend can prevent the members from having
u splendid time. The number already heard

anticipated, and unless unforeseen accidents
should intervene, there will he a good turn out
The survivors of the regiment, ot course, arc
greatly scattered. The regiment was made up
from half a dozen different eounttct, and nearly
the first in the field, its members, on account of
their thorough drill and experience, were after-'
wards sought after as officers for new organiza
tions, so that, before the war was over, half a
dozen of other regiments were supplied wrVh
colonels, majors, captains, adjutants, Ac., from

Fins. Tuesday morning ubout 9 o'clock, amid
a drizzling rain, our people were aroused by the
alarm of Are, und it was soon discovered that the
Stone Block, on the corner of Main and Colum
bus streets, was. on Are In the Si story. The city
team being a mile away employed on street labor,
the steamer was rather slow In getting to the
ground, yet got to work In a reasonably short
time, and soon got such. control of the tire as to
save the building without muterial damage. The
rooms of the lower stories, however, were occu
pied, the corner room und story above, by the
harness establishment of Strohel A Gondolf ;
und the next room east, below and up stairs, by
wagons, buggies, fixtures, and materials, of Hill
A Fornihals, wagon makers. The destruction of
the building being at first imagined as inevita
ble. the chief damage was done In hastily clear
ingout the goods of these flVma. Of course,
a; lid the excitement, no sort of care was ob
served, and while no articles were lost except
by theft, the damage to tho goods of Messrs.
Strobol A Gondolf cannot be less than 1,(K)0;
while the goods of Hill A Fornihals, though less
seriously damaged, al?o suffered very coUbiJeru

liuM.VN SaLiva Kills Snakes. The Mari
etta (Oil.,) Journal was told by u gentleman
the other day that hUmatt spittle was as dead
ly to rVniWnotis shakes as their bites were
deadly to man. He fays that While picking
up a bundle of straw and Irtish Uuder his
arm, while clcatiiug ti Held, a rattlesnake,
four Puet long, crawled out from it and fell to
tl ground at his feet. He at once placed
uts heel on the head of the snake and spit in
Us mouth. Shortly afterwards tho snake
showed symptoms of inactivity and sickness,
and he picked it up by its tail and carried it
to the house and showed it to his wife, telling
her lie had spit iu its mouth and that it was
poisoned. At the expiration ol fifteen min
utes the snake was dead. To further expert
ment, lie came across a blowing adder (snake-
which ejected from its moutli a yellowish
liquid. He caught it and spit in it.- mouth,
and it died. He caught another blowing, and
it refused to open its mouth. He spit on a
stick and rubbed the spittle upon the adder's
nose, and It died. Afterwards lie came across
a black snake, regarded as not poisonous,
and he caught it and spit in its mouth. In
stead of the spittle killing the black snake,
as it did the poisonous reptiles, it only made
it stupidly sick, trom which it recovered.
This conclusively shows that poisonous
snakes have as much to fear Irom the spittle
of man as man has to fcur from their deadly
bites.
