 visit was to be at the old New England fes. tiyal, where modern degeneracy. if any. .ob,

 carriage less erect In the Pastors pow, at the right of the pulpit. he was easily ob- served as following the exercises, or easily

 The Impression of. his eountenance:was that of man of strength and classical refine ment, with cordial sympathetic temper, which might make him eloquent, where the orator was in place, as it must make him welcome as visitor and interesting as guest. A social rather than monas-
 tic cast is apparent, though there is some: son g. thing of that uncertain, ,unsatisfed look in smile at the corners of the mouth, which the belongs as an expression to all genial male calculates, bond or free. When the man
 IS in action, the face is energized, and this look IS in abeyance, to return again and ask for a 'companionship in the hours of

 Rev. Mr. Bacon preached an appropriate 6 and acceptable sermon, referring the au- dience to their obligations to their imme- diate progenitors in their own town, illus, trating their personal duty eloquently, as private citizens. from the illastrious exam :

 Towards evening the visitors, with mem- bers of the family, made some calls in the ||neighborhood, seeing the people at home.

 On the morning aof the 12th inst. ; the House owned by MT. Mesick, on DibbR Hill, was burned tosths ground, lMrs Nickerson, J who lives across the roads saw the fire first. about four o'clock, just as the roof was falling in. No one was living in the house and it is supposed that it was set on fire designedly. A negro boy who was suspected and questioned, said he did it and was arrested, when he said he was in fun and did not do it. The house was insured for 5000. :Ea sY Several of our schools commenced their Winter sessions on Monday, the 18th inst, others on Monday of this Week, and still others ere to begin on the 1st of De lcember. .ga

BAD YIELD.-The wheat raised in this
county this season is Of very poor quality.
One would scarcely imagine it to be as poor
as it is, until he has compared it with old
wheat, or with that raised in other states.
We saw some of it compared, to-day, with
Minnesota wheat, and the difference was
perfectly astonishing. How good -four or
good bread is to be made from it is ques
ton for the millers and housewives to de.
eide.

Two HUSDRED HOUSES NEEDED.-What
Rock Island most needs just at present, Is
about two hundred dwelling houses. We

$1,000 in building, with fear aud Ueno'
ling, and now realizes in rent cool SZ,oOo
a year. Every description of house hnds
a ready occupant at liberal rentage. Why
men who have money should hesitate to IN
vest it in building up the city, when q big
per ceniage is inevitable, we cannot well
divine. The demand for houses is unpre.
cedented, and rents are at high figures
Let two hundred comfortable tenement
houses be erected next spring, and they will
not stand unoccuped one week after the
last stroke of the mechanic has been given
them. A great deal of building has been
done during the past season Many business
structures have been put up, and innu.
merable private residences. But while this
