T. S. lean from the Chicago Journal that Mr. Timothy S. Fitch, died suddenly in Chicago, on Sunday, from an apopleptio stroke.

The Journal ears Mr. Fitch waa forty-five years of age. He was born in Ticonderoga, northern New York, and removed to Illinois while yet a youth, and had resided in Chicago since 1858. He was largely interested in real estate, particularly in the southern sub. urbs, he having platted and laid out the villages of Woodlawn.

and South Shore. At the time of his death be was residing at tne United States Hold. He leaves a Urge fortune to his widow. A large circle of friends and relatives in ihis city mourn his sudden demise. The funeral will take place from -the U.

Hotel, Wednesday, at'11 a. to Graceland. Mr. Fitch was a brother of John JFitch, and formerly resided in Alton, where he has many friends. His death, in the prime of manhood, will be greatly regretted.

ACO.CITTED.—The examination of Mr. Fritz Eahla, charged with killing Mr. Conrad Wolff near Nameoki, on New Year's morning, took place on Monday at Venice, before Justices Robinson and Squire, and resulted in the discharge of the prisoner. The evidence produced at the trial was to the effect that Wolff and Eabla had quarreled at a neighbor's and had afterwards separated, and started ostensibly for their homes, which were in opposite directions, Kabla leaving ten minutes after Wolff.

On Kahla's way home he was attacked by Woolf, who was waiting for him by the way-side. According to the testimony Wolff made a lunge at Kahla and fell to the ground, striking the back and side of his head on aa osage orange stick lying there, producing the wounds from which he died half an hour after. The case seems to be a strange one and we do not fully understand it, but the evidence was such that Justices Robinson and Squire, both good men, deemed themselves warranted in discharging the prisoner from custody.

The young lady never had. mythe then suddenly remembered the day nd anxiously inquired of his companion 'she remembered "the deep snow on New ear's day 1S45." The lady didn't recall it all.

She thought her grandmother might emembcr it. The luckless uwaia saw he ad blundered and ventured no more re- iarks, but sat toying with his silk hat in nervous way, until the lady, pitying his mharrassment, offered him a cup of coffee. He took it mechanically, and, for safety, ut his hat between his knees. But the race and beauty of his young hostess had this time so bewitched him that he sat az'mg upon her with open mouth in wrapt dmiration, until a scalding sensation aused him to look down, when he per- eived that in his trance he had been quietly the steaming beverage he held into iis hat. Rising in haste the cup slipped rom the saucer and the remaining contents rere deposited over the fashionable dress his charmer.

The lady uttered RU lamation of dismay. Smythe gazed for a moment in speechless horror on the ruin bad wrought and then rushed from the room. Reaching the door he clapped on is hat, when the half pint of coffee ie had deposited therein poiireu iown over hli person.

The unfortunate man staggered along a couple of squares, helplessly, until by a luckless step he stabbed his toe and rolled over into the gutter. Just then a good Samaritan, in the guise of his room mate, happened along, and lifting up the unhappy Smythe, assisted him to their room on the first floor front of their boarding house. Smytbe rolled over on the bed in a half fainting condition, gasping out, "Pull off my boots for Heaven's sake!" His friend went to work with a will, bnt after ten minute's fruitless exertion, exclaimed: it, Smythe, you must have been using Spaldinft'i glue, a span of mules couldn't pull off them boots!"

Boys 9 New Styles of NEW STOCK OF Ayer's Ague Cure, For aud Ague, Intermittent Fever, ChflJ Fever, Bemittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Pever, and indeed all tho affections which arise from malarious, marsh, or miasmitie poisons. No one remedy is louder called for bv the necessities ot" the American t.h.in a sure and tufe cure for Fever and Ajnie.

Such we are now enabled to offer, with a yerl'ecfi certainty Uiut it wtH eradicate the disease, and with assurance, founded on proof, Uiat no harm can trom its use in anv quantity. That which protecu from or this disorder must be of immense service in the communities where it prevails. Prevention is better than cure, for the patient escapes ifre u-hieh he must run in violent attacks ot" Uiu baleful distemper. This "CURE" expeU tiie miasmatic poison of FEVER AXD AGUE from the system, and prevents the development of the ili-case, ii" taken on the first approach of premonitory svmptoma. It is not only the remedy ever yet discovered for this clas-s of complaints, FEVER AND AGUE prevail, everybody should have it, and use it free IT, both for cure nnd protection.

It is hoped thU'price will place it within the reach of poor as well as the rich. A great superiority ot this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and certain cure of Intenaitteals is, that it contains no Quinine or mineral; consequently it produces no quinism or other injurious efforts whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are leit as healthy as if they had never had tbe Blindness, ilgta, Rl Toothn Karacho, Catarrh. AsLh- and derange: when originating in this cause, put on the intermittent trpe, or become peno.ln-.il. This "CURE 1 expels the poison from the blood, and consequently cures them all alike.

It is an invaluable protection to immigrants ami persons travelling or residing in mala- rious districts. If taken oceafionally or daily while exposed to the infection, that will be excreted from the system, and canno: accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more valuable for protection than cure; and few will ever suffer from Inter- mittents if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy affords. For Zircr nrisinff from torpid- itvof the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating the Liver into healthy activity, and producing many truly remarkable cures, whero jther medicines fail.
