MARsEILLEs, o., April Sth.
ED. REP: The weather, as is usu-
al in this month, is made up Of smiles
and tears sunshine is pleasant but
"tears have their own sweetness too"
the truth of which; ;the wheat 6 grass
will probably attest in a few days.
"Fools Day" came and went with
out any one being so badly fooled.
that be could not, very soon Danish
the silly feeling, enough so at least to
laugh almost as heartily over the
joke as the one who played it. The
loaded wagons, which passed along
our streets last week, reminded us
that moving time had come around
again, but judging from uncurtained
windows etc. think there are some
who did not improve the first week
of April i'll this way: suppose they
belong to the more deliberate class
of people who think it better not 20
rush matters too heavily. A few OF
our citizens, feeling that country air
would be more congenial to their
spirit, have taken up their residence
outside the corporation limits; while
others who have been inhaiing coun-
try air for many years have recently
purchased town property, and will nc
doubt soon take up their abode with
us. AS you walk along the street,
pass through the crowd of loafers,
stand in front of the counter, or sit
in the home circle, that which ever
ereets the ear is Rail Road Rail
Road not the 'rattling of the car
however, but Rail Road-''only this
and nothing more" Some of oul
people appear quito jubilant over the
prospective Baltimore, Pittsburgh
and Continental Railway, running
from Baltimore to San Frncisco by
the way of Marseilles snd Chicago.
Our Spring term opened one week
ago to day. School is full and pros.
ferrous. Several of the big girls and
overgrown boys who attended last
term are "not present. but their plac-
es are occupied by others who have
come in from adjoining districts.
Some Of our young ladies contem-
plate teaching in the country this
Summer, and the young gentlemen
who are so fortunate as to be near
them will, doubtless, experience
some such feeling as the fellow !
heard of once who said that he did
not care whether school kept or not
so the school ma'am boarded at their
house. Well guess people in gen
eral think school ma'ams are pretty
nice things. l used to think so any,
how when l was young, and indeed,
experienced considerable pride when
it came my turn to escort the teacher
to our house TO board her week, but
then my big brothers would come in,
and of course, l must stand back,
until it was time to start to school
again in the morning.
The Election in our place passed
off quietly with a light vote result
ing as usual in the success of the Re
publicans.. The following are the
names Of the successful candidates
for township offices:
Trustees-J. Chandle, III. Ii. Cary
and E. >. Parker.
Clerk-E. X. Ferris.
Treasurer B. +. Kennedy.
+ Assesor-D. Rose.
Constables-E. P. Cozer and A
Atkinson.
In the Corporation election the
issue was not political. Our new
School Board, elected to. day is VIM.
Seligman, B. F. Kennedy and S. II
White.
But feeling that.
'Tis a joy to press the pillow
OF a cottage chamber bed,
And listen to the patter
OF the soft rain overhead.
l say more anon.
