MARION. KY, Jan. Is ITO.
EDITORS JOURNAL:
Having omitted in my last letter,
some items that will probably be
worthy Of a place in the columns of
your excellent JOURNAL, / thought
that / would now send them to you.
The Presbyterians at this place,
have an organization, Church build
ing, Parsonage, and an excellent pas
tor, Rev. Alex. Rankin, young min
lister of great promise. The Parson-
age is a present from lady in New
York. The Cumberlands have
preaching once a month, but no
house of worship. The Methodist's
have preaching occas ionally, and
have q 2 arsonage, but no Church
building. The Freedmen are doing
we'll, and have completed Church,
Presbyterian and have preaching
frequently. Thus there are only two
Church buildings, and both Presby-
terrain. Besides these, there arc a
few Baptist's, Universalist's, Camp
OG1AbCSs CtCs AC IOWn cQRBOAAS
Union Sabbath School, which at pres
ent is in a fourishing condition.
There is also, a Bible Glass on Sun
days, and one on Tuesdays.
The building belonging to Bingham
| Lodge No. 256, which was destroyed
by fire last year, has been replaced by
a large brick house, belonging to the
Lodge and Mr.. j. G.. Hoover. Sew
eral smaller buildings have been
erected during the year, most of them
being private residences.
No newspaper is published here at
present, and none will be needed, for
some years, at least. OF the various
periodicals which come to this Office,
none have a larger circulation than
| the Evansville JOURNAL, which is the
best paper for news that we get here.
Long live the JOURNAL!
Two years ago we had a chance OF
getting the Paducah aud Elizabeth
town Railroad. but the tax III per
cent. being voted down, it was lost to
US. 1t will come no nearer to us than
to Princeton, Ky. Our country roads
leading into town are in bad condi.
ton, but it is hoped that they will be
improved before long.

INDIANA SCHOOL LAWS IN Dr.

a letter from General G. G. Andrews
United States Minister at Stockholm
Sweden, in which he stated that he
had been requested by the proper
Swedish authorities to obtain all the
information in regard to the Indiana
school system which he could, in
order that such parts as were to them
unknown and Va,uable might be
grated into the SCI lals Of that c0uu-

on Saturday. General KimbalI sent a
