and genuine" Says the Courier:
COLOGNE certainly could not have been much
more odoriferous than its sister city of the Mis-
sissippi. Its low, fat back streets and alleys,
along which the stagnant liquid mud is seen,
green in its decay, and rottenin its substance,
give forth exhalations in themselves enough to
breed an epidemic while the city authorities
seem bent to make that still worse which was
bad enough before.
They have selected the monthof September

moist earth through several of the business
streets under pretence of repairing gas pipes
Gravier street is an example. The mud and
stones are piled up on each side, while through

Dr.. PLuWxER's ADDRESS AT WEST LIBERTY

DR.. Plummer, delivered before the West Liberty
Academy. The former paper says

our readers in spreading before them produc.
ton SO full of vigorous thought and happy sug-
gestion, and which, we are sure, they will peruse
with pleasure and delight. ~

sense, well worth the perusal ont only of intelli
gent young ladies, but of parents: and of all
who are interested in the cause of education.-.

be lightly passed over. Its author has atcharac-
teristic way of expressing himself and of en-
forcing the truths which he utters, which will
be found preserved in his remarks now publish
ed. He uses his mothers tongue solely otell
his thoughts, and to make an impression upon
Others, and not parade OF display-and hence,
as he is a man of strong mind and vigorous in
tellect, what he says is always worth attention.
