RIVER BANK, IND Jan. 4, ~


FRIEND sMILLIKAN:-Some time has
elapsed since the River Bank man" has
been heard from, and as the holidays are
past and all seemed to enjoy themselves
SO well, we thought to mention a few
past events.
For the first: On christmas day John
Poorinan and Miss stevens were united
in the holy bonds of matrimony. We
were told that John has an estinable
young wife, but the inferance is she has
got Poor-man. however, they have our
best wishes for their future welfare and
happiness.
Christmas passedof very pleasantly with
US. and at night all were very agreeably
entertained at st Johns church, whero
there was magnificent display of pres
ents for the Sunday school children; with
many others for friends and loved ones,
exhibited on huge christmas tree.
About three hundred and fifty pupils
witnessed the grand scene.
On January 1st, Mr. Peter Brenner.
thinking it not good for mar to be alone,
chose fair young lady (whose name we
did not learn) to be his helpmate through
life. We congratulate our friend Peter,
in his success, and wish him prosperity
and gain in the future
AS surprise parties are in vogue now
we. of this neighborhood, concluded to
follow suit" and accordingly five
wagons were loaded as though we were
going to market. except our wives and
children accompanied, and all fell in line
and drove to the residence of our pastor,
the Rev. P. j. Spangler, of Plymouth,
when after the usual salutations we began
deposltlng our supplies in their repository,
| SD amply hit for their reception, and from
the smiles that played upon the counte-
nance of the recipients, we were induced
to believe that they were thankfully re-
ceived, and that not frown could appear
If such blessings were continued. The
pastor said eff that was the way we treat
our pastor on New Years day, all he re-
GREETED was that it only came once year.
We were induced by friend to attend
a literary society last Friday evening, at
Walnut Grove school house. The exer-
cises were opened with an essay by MIR.
j.. Zechiel, entitled "The Old and the New
Year." which seemed very appropriate,
and was composed in good style, ard re-
f1ected much credit upon the author and
the association. Mr.. Saml Parker also
read an essay on intemperance, which
was an able production for young man
OF little experience. p W. Hime read
very pithy little paper called the Broad
Axe" The whole proceedings were
worthy of Commentator, but we lost our
notes" and cannot particularize farther.
This forenoon about 100 clock, a heavy
gale from the southwest did much damage
to farmers, uncaping hay stacks, blowing
down fences and scattering corn fodder
wonderfully, and we are informed it blew
down Mr. Yarrick's wind pump, some
five or six miles southwest Of Plymouth.
| The week of prayer is to be observed
at st. Johns church, the Rev. Spangler
in attendance. Our Sabbath School re-
organized to-day by e)ecting Peter Jacoby
superintendent; VIM. Kellehan, secretary |;
f. Goble, librarian; Jno. Strawderman,,
treasurer. OCCASIONAL

So few books of poetry that is worth read

This is short story of 92 pages-in 30 short

The object of the author-who is a member
of Parliament, and has exerted himself in
irving to obtain law permitting English Mer-
chant Sailors to secure a survey of tue yes
sells in which they have shipped, before sail
ing-is to expose the evils Of system, under
which unprincipled merchants are able to
send unseaworthy vessels to sea painted up,
their defects concealed and not re paired, and
heavily insured. In the Appendix Mr.. Plim-
soil gives proof of the assertion he makes in
the story, that some shipping merchants
make it practice Of buying old uuseaworthy
vessels fittirg them up, overlooking them,
heavily insuring them, and sending them to
sea in that condition. Sailors ship before
tbey see the vessel, and il they decline to sail,
tney are Imprisoned.

While the story is little tedious, and its
