A SINGULAR DISEASE.

From the Goiconda Herald.
We are informed of singular disease
that has appeared in the sugar corn in
this county. 1t very closely resembles
the wheat rust. 1t DEVELOPS itself in the
manufacture Of molasses, which it renders
so bitter as to be almost unfit for use.
There seems to be but little doubt that it
is a species of rust similar to that which
attacks tho wheat and oats. With the
rust, drouth, bugs, &c, our farmers have
had enough to try their patience.

SOLDIERS REUNION.

From the Harrisburg Register.l
Last Monday was an occasion long to
be remembered by the members of the old
3lst Illinois Regiment, and the hundreds
of other ex-soldiers and citizens who par
ticipated in the festivities of the occasion.
The day was pleasant, and the provisions
abundant. The exercises at the stand
were opened with prayer by Ed. Kelley,
after which the history of the 3lst was
read by Capt. NJ. J. Potts, and the people
were addressed by Gen. e. b. Raum. AZ
ter dinner the old soldiers INDUCED in a
little drill, and short speeches were made
by Capt Porter of the l?oth and Lieut..

Fort Massac is said tosbe haunted by
the spirits of the murdered French, at the
old Fort put up by them before many
white men trod the virgin soil of Illinois.
Unearthly groans, and dim outlines can
be seen at the Fort, upon almost any
stormy night. About the hour Of mid
night the wailing commences, and tho
listeners and watchers are rewarded for
their trouble in trying to "peer' into the
"uncsnny" denizens Of past humanity.
Fort Massae is one mile above the city Of
Metropolis, and is now enclosed in the
farm Of Judge w. IL. Green.

A Beautiful Sentiment,

Life bears us on like the stream OF
mighty river. Our boat at first glides
down the narrow channel through the
playful murmuring of the little brook
and the winding of the grassy borders.
The trees shed their blossoms over our
young heads; the flowers on the bank
seem to effer themselves to our young
hands, We are happy in hope, and grasp
eagerly at the beauties around us; but
the stream hurries on, and still our hands
are empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along wider and deeper
flood, and amid objects more striking
and magnificent. We are animated at
the moving picture Of enjoyment and
industry passing around us--are excited
at some short-lived disappointment. The
stream bears us on and our joys and
griefs are alike left behind us. We may
be shipNrecked--we cannot be delayed;
whether rough or smooth, the river has
tens to its home, till the roar of the
ocean is in his ears, and the tossing of
the waves is beneath our feet, and the
land lessons from our eyes, and the
floods are lifted up around us, and we
take our leave of earth and its inhabi-
tants, until of farther voyage there is no
witness save the Infinite and Eternal.
