TO Correspondents.

Mr.. A. w. Smith, the attentive
correspondent Of the COURIER, from
the Estate Of Green will please &C
cept as an apology for the non.ap-
pearance in due time, of his cores
pondence of the 21st ultimo, that it
was addressed personally to the edi-
tor and consequently remained on
his table until his return to-day, when
it is found that the subject matter in
it has ceased to be Of any special
interest to our readers, on account
Of its age. Try again, and if intend
ed for publication, address COURIER
and it will make close connections,
and be sure to reach US in time.

ton entirely too longfor our crowd.

which according to memorable rule,
goes straight way into the waste bas-
ket.
We cheerfully publish all letters
from the people, on such topics as
may be of general interest, provided
all the time they are short, to the
point, written only on one side of the
sheet, and accompanied by the wri-
tiers name, which we require for our
own, if not for the public's informa-
ton. These conditions not being
complied with the letter is in most
instances consigned to oblivion with
out reading. After publishing the
essence of this rule, (Which is never
departed from by newspaper pub
lishers) two or thee million times
more, we hope that our correspon-
dents ambitious for literary fame,
through the columns of their daily
paper, will become somewhat ia
miliar with it, and therefore govern
themselves accordingly.

ANOTHER CASE OF SUSPENDED AMI
Observation-Disclosures many of theread-
ers of the COURIER remember seeing
the announcement of the death ofthe
Competing Farmers Club, published
some weeks since. There is quite q
mystery connected with its DEATH
1t seems it was not dead as reported,
but only another case of suspended
animation after laying apparently
dead for nearly a month, it seems
some of its most faithful and true
friends had its remains taken up,
when to the astonishment of all, it
began to show signs of life and by
faithful nursing only few hours, it
seemed to revive entirely, and my in.
formant tells me it now seems in q
fair way Of recovery, though some-
Whist weak of course. We pray for
it, restoration to perfect health.

over whose green grave they spread
the choicest flowers to be found in
profuse quantities to one of Iowa's
dead heroes.
The grounds are elegantly kept,
with fine wide gravel walks between

which, is a we'll lettcred head board,
giving the the name, company, Regt.
and State of the deceased wherever it
was known. Many hundreds of

great number of the latter are bur-

must embrace at least forty acres.
