Approaching Marriage of the Prin-

1t is now generally believed that Prince
Frederick Of Prussia and the Princess ROYAL
of England will be married this year. The
n. Y. Evening Post saws of these royal per-
sonages
6 Prince Frederick William Nicholas
Charles Of Prussia was born on the lst OF
October, 1881, and is. consequently, in his
18th year. He holds the commissions OF
ma lor, a la suite, of the first regiments OF
foot-guards, and chief and colonel proprie-
tdire of other regiments in the Prussan SER
vice. He IS the eld4t son and heir of Fred
erick William Prince of Prussia, brother to
the King, and heir To the throne Conse-
quently, if the projected marriage shall
take place, it may be anticipated that the
time is not far distant when the throne of
Prussia will be occupied by Princess of
England.
"The young lady whose hand is about to
be made the pledge of renewed amity with

| On a recent brief visit to the city of keo-
sauqua, we were pleased to see evident signs
of re-vivication in that comparatively an
cient town. With the opening of spring the
entire community seem to have thrown off
the lethargy which for some yas.rs previously
rested upon that locality. Strangers have
been attracted thither, property in town and
country has nearly doubled in value within
few months, and is rapidly changing owners.
Extensive preparations for building this sea-
son are already made, and among other be-
ginnings we noticed that work had been COM
menced on Public School house, located on
a beautiful and commanding eminencs. We
learned, also, that ample means have been
provided, by general subscription, for the
building of two academies, one to be under
the charge of the Methodists, and the other
Of the Congregationalists. This indicates
the high estimation in which education is
held, and is creditabe to the intelligence of
the community And in this connection, we
may allude to the Library Association of
Keosauqua, which has got a good start, and
is we'll supported by the people. 1t has fur
nished regular course Of lectures during
the past winter for the instruction and enter
tainment of the public, which have been well
sustained and encouraged by the citizens
The lectures have been furnished BY home
talent, and are represented ms fully equal on
the average to the productions of those who
make business of lecturing
