tho Brass Band, aud tho Ladies', whose
performance gave So much pleasure on q
previous occasion, there Will be an accom-
plished musician never yet heard in Mars
shall. The tickets, nevertheless. viii be
put n, tho moderate price Of fifty cents.
We arc aware tina, but comparatively a
small portion Of tho community. feel any
decided interest in the Protestant Episco
pal Church. The people Of Marshall, how
ever, we are happy to say, arc = church
going SGT. and most Of them have already
formed n preference for some one Of the
churches previously established among US.
A. Americans, however, we are also an en-.
terpfzipg people. As such, we are all in
tereslcd in the improvement Of the town,
add in every indication Of it, prosperity.
With six churches, Marshall will be ia al
vance of any town in Eastern Texas. An
other stately church ed fee will be a very
agreeable sight; but aside from that, we
think these social gatherings are. in every
respect, advantageous TO any community
Their necessary tendancy is to produce
union in society, sud 10 disseminate good
feeling.

HoS. GEO. w. JoyEs.-We are in receipt of
very valuable letter from this distinguished
gentleman relative to the establishment of a
Distributing Post Office at McGregor. We
had written to him in relation to this matter and
his letter is in RELY to ours. We may publish
it at future time, but at present its app ar
ance would be attributed, by the enemies of the
Senator, to desire to secure political atvan-
tagcs in this portion of the state. He assures us
substantially that no effort on his part will be
spared to oblige any portion of the constituency
which he has the honor to represent, and if the
establishment Of Distributing Offices is not
deemed Improbable 10 the DEPARTMENT and in
convenient to the mai-recii icn's throughout the
country (sach opinions have been entertained
generally by the Heads of the rcrt he h,s no
doubt that our up. LEGATION Fill be crowned with

would be of immediate value to the Post Office

maiden. He rode up in front of the
house and asked the girl for drink of
water he drank it, and she being the fl

offered her a dime for kiss. The young
maiden accepted the offer, and received
both the kiss and the dime.
The traveller was about to resume his

STEAMBOAT SUNK-Six lives lost-We regret
to record the sinking, on Saturday night last
of the steamer Ben. Coursin 10 miles above
Lacrosse. She came in collision with the Key
City bound to Paul, and almost instantly sunk
in twenty feet water. The Deck passengers
were in great danger, and SIX of them were
carried down. The lost compris, Fa Their,
Mother and three children formerly re sidents Of
Prairie du CHEN but recently of st Paul at which
place they had sold some property and were re-
turning to Prairie du Chen to settle permanently
They were French people and the man was :,
stone mason. Three of their children were saved =,
a girl Is and two boys younge:. wagon and
horses belonging TO the family and all their
household goods were lost. One of the Deck
hands had escaped but thinking he could save
a straw mattrass worth t,co Lits he ran down to
get it and was not afterwards heard Of The
Key city rendered all assistance possible, but
the Coursin went down to her lower passeen-
ger births so quickly as to forbid much help to
those below. The Pilot of the Coursin had his
wheel hard down to avoid the meeting, but he
thinks something was out Of order with the tiller
so that the rudder was not obedient. The Kew
City landed the rescued passengers, and they ras-
Sod down the river on sunday. Forty dollars
were raised for the poor little orphans who were
so suddenly bcreaved Of parents, and thrown on
the world without guide or dollar. They
lett the boat at the Prairie where it is supposed
they may have friends.
The Ben Coursn was an old boat, just fitted
up by its present owners to run from Rock Is
land to st Paul. This accident occurred on her
first return trip from the latter city. There was
no insurance on the Boat. and but little freight
