So it pear that the fluid must How as the law directs for a brief period at least.

Doctor Oliver Everett died at his home in this city at eight this morning, aged nearly seventy-seven years. Although his health has been failing for the past two or three years and he has been very feeble at times, and therefore we may say that this sad announcement was not unexpected, still the report to-day that passed froru one to another of our citizens, Everett is caused a gloom to pervade this entire community. He had been ill a number of days but was not considered dangerous and therefore we may say that death was quite sudden. His friends were not prepared for it. he elegrafi has been called upon of late years, from time time, to announce the death of many old settlers who; many prominent citizens of marked ability, but in all tlAt list we do not recall a name which, taking them all in all, scholarship, intellectual power, good judgment, honesty and morality, that will make a brighter or more creditable page in the history of Dixon than the name of Doctor Everett.

His death will be generally lamented. Oliver Everett was born at Washington, Massachusetts, September 12, 1811, and was descended of old New England stock; the great orator, Edward Everett, being a cousin. When eight years of age his father to Cumingtou, the same State, where the boy Oliver attended school until he entered the Berkshire medicai school, connected with Williams College, where he graduated in 1836. In that year he de parted for what was then truly the and after looking about a short time located at what was then known as Ferry. Here heat onee engaged in the practice of his profession, at which he continued until a few' years ago W'hen he retired.

At the timeof his arrival and for some time thereafter he was the only practitioner here. At the time of his death he had resided here for a longer continuous period than any one rson then living In 1863 he w-aselected mayor of the city and from 1860 to 1873 he wTas a member of the board of trustees of the State asylum lor the insane at Elgin. He has taken a great interest in scientific matters, and especially in the line of saturai history; and he accumulated a vast variety of specimens; now composing one of the finest cabinets in the State. He has made some very remarkable geo logical discoveries in his researches through the stone quarries of this vicinity and along the banks of Rock river; and has furnished specimens of fossil springes that have astonished the scientist of the world. lie has quite a fame among the geologists of State and the country.

His botanical collection is also very large and valuable. The Doctor as first mar ried in 1838 with Miss Emily Everett, at Princeton, this State, who died a few years later. Of this marriage was born a daughter, Miss Emily Everett, who died many years ago of consumption. He was again married to Miss Bessie Law, (sister of Dr. Law) in this city, died May 4tb, 1881.

Three children blessed the latter Dr. W. L. Everett, who died in October 1873, aged about tw'enty four years; Dr. J.

M. Everett, in practice now at DeKalb, and a daughter, (Grace) Mrs. Wm. N. Johnson, with whom the Doctor has resided up to the time of his death.

The funeral services will take place from the residence at four Thursday afternoon. From two to five tomorrow afternoon the remains can be seen by friends; the casket will not be opened at the funeral. there whs the strange sr rt of pbemune- from a long visit with friends in Rochelle, non exhibited about those days of a city Mrs. Cooper and son and Mrs. Dudley council pretending to know more than a visited friends in Dixon last Saturday, newspaper: and the result was as usual, John Muma has a yearling that has a humiliating disappointment and for lamb that weighed twelve pounds before the city.

Throne has charge of the ship. notice to our city council given by superinteadent Donnelly, of the Dixon water works, and published in issue, in effect thut it was the intention of the company to close down the works; put out the fires and draw the water from the mains, unless the authorities paid the last quarterly bill rendered; created considerable excitement about the city at first and until the matter was somewhat thoroughly canvassed. Then the people very generally settled down to the opinion that the notice wus what is vulgarly called a bluff. However, whether or not pany is in earnest in giving the notice, i there is nothing more certain than that the difficulty between the city and the water company must be settled in the near future. Had the city adopted the suggestion made by Tub Telegraph soon after the water works were accepted, that is, preserved and kept the old city pumps, hydrant3 and mains in position, the city would now be in a happy condition of independence in the matter of fire protection in the business portion thereof.

And, indeed, had the old city water works remained as we advised, with little additional expense pipes might now be extended to the schools and factories. But the water works be not accepted until efficient service and pure water should be assured; but its advice was ignored. Then this paper begged that the old city water works be not destroyed, for we could foresee and called attention to the trouble that now exists. There is uo credit due for this as it inevitable. We would again suggest that when the city settles the matter with the water company it shall be for all time There should, furthermore, be no Settlement except on a basis that there slmll be good, pure water furnished as was stipulated iu the original contract.

The only certain way to do this, without the expense of relaying the pipes, is by sinking artesian wells as we have heretofore suggested and ihe city should insist that this be done. Artesian water would not freeze in the "pipes and the hydrants with it could be opened during the moist intense ly cold weather without any sort of damage.
