>. enable you to recognize the place. 1t is
upon the bank Of Fox River, IN wet
weather it is IN the river, at other times
it is IN the mud. The majority of the
inhabitants live east of the river within
distance of three miles. 1t is bounded
on thee1stby Silver and Camp Lakes, ON
the south by Otis lime kiln, on the west
by old Monaghans hay stack, and on the
north BY don't know what. When
fyou get fairly into tho mud, you can see
a "snarl" Cfhonses, three of which are
stores and one tavern and in any Of
these places you will find representatives
I from all parts of Wilmot. IF you step
into the tavern you are soon followed by
one or more men who suppose you are
thirsty and hate to drink alone. Next
step into the stores in turn, sit upon the
counter; yes don't hesitate if there be
room for you; never mind your dirty
boots, when you go to Wilmot do as
they do in Rome Watch the young,
men drop in. 60 behind the counter
take handful of tobacco. fill their
pipes, sit beside you on the counter and
smoke contentedly, although their
mothers have not stick of wood to put
in the stove, and although there IS and
was since they were born, good school
in the village, they can not tell the
difference between little fat pig and
fat little pig. All! I forget the
teacher is responsible" for shat. If the
smoke disagrees with you, don't try toI
avoid it by going into the other stores
for the same shing happens there. I'll
you wish to escape the nuisance take
refuge in The blacksmith's shop. Now
although all the physical signs whereby
Wilmot is distinguished from all other
places be present, still you may be sure
you are not in Wilmot but in some
other place, IL the moral signs are want
ing. 1 almost forgot an infallible
physical sign recently erected, it is en-
addition to one of the churches. The
main building is about 60x4O and 20 feet
high. the addition is about l00x12 and 6
feet high, you must see this MSng for
Yourself before you can have any con-
ception of it.. There never wac such an
addition made before, to any church
either Christian'or Pagan since the world
began; when you see this thing you need
not INQUIRE where you are it is Wilmot
for dead certainty. One cannot tell
the seq Of the architect by the looks OIL
the things. but whether it be he. she, or
that designed and built the thing, he,
she, or it cannot remain long in obscure
ty. Whas pity that the projectors of
the centennial buildings were not
acquainted with the wilmot architect.
When Christopher Wren built ST. Paul's
Church in Londen, he had to erect a
screen to hide his flying outtresses, but
the architect ofIthis addition left nothing
to be concealed, every crack and knot
hole is indispensable; heamust have al
wonderful knowledge of perspicuity'|
and los application as is evident by the
great attention he pays to the SYMMETRY
proportion, harmony, disposition, COLO
cation, elegance, composition, invention,
design, solidity, usefulness and beauty
of this addition. In fine the science
and taste displayed in this thing is traly
astonishing 1t is ''fearfully and
wonder fully made" and hope you will
get correct description of it from one
more learned in architecture than your
bsmbEe or,espondent.
