Centennial Subsidy.

The latest from Washington indicates
the possible passage OF the Centennial
appropriation bill by the lower house OF
congress. There sjust enough of propriety
in the appropriation of some money for
Centennial show to cause many to
vote for the whole million and a half.
The Sentinel believes that as congress
initiated the exposition and caused COM
missioners to be appointed for its general
management, the expense of this commits
sion should be met by congress. Having
assumed no further obligation, no further
appropriation should be made, unless IL
might be proper for congress to provide the
medals that are to be bestowed on success
full exhibitors that they may be esteemed as
national recognition, rather than the
mere accord OF private corporation.

MRS. LAURA A. LOUIS, OF CENTRALIA, ILL.
Died, in Centralia, H., on Wednesday,
January 10, 1876, Mrs. Laura A. Louis. For
more than three months Mrs. Louis has
suffered excrucisting pain, and, while her

recovery, she at last has passed away-gone
before to enjoy ineffable repose. Mrs. Louis
leaves large family of children, who will
miss The kind and loving care of a mother.
The family aud friends have the deep felt
sympathy of the entire community. Mrs.
Louis was lady of rare excellence of char

Soon after the Patrons of Husbsndry hat

Soon after the Patrons of Husbandry had
got well to running another order was
started, called the Sovereigns of Industry.
This order was started in Massachusetts,
and dourished more in the East than the
West, although something has been done in
this part of the country. The state council
of Massachusetts held its annual meeting in
Boston on Wednesday, and, it appears, had
a rather turbulent time. The troubles arose
out of unsatisfactory affairs in the manage
ment. There was friction between the state
secretary and the executive committee,
each bringing damaging accusations against
the other. The money of the society has dis
appeared in an inexplicsble way, and the
accounts are badly confused. After consid-
cradle wrangling the order elected its new
officers for the ensuing year. The society
has grown during the past year from lOS to
166 subordinate councils.

agents are Offering the best inducements in
their power to carry the grain to New York.
The tendency seems to be in favor of
leaving the Chicago and New York route
for one more direct and less beset with the
perils of warehouse manipulstions. The
receipts OF corn by rail on Monday, at this
point, exceeded no. 900 busheIs-a most en-
coursging showing. Better prices have been
paid here during the season than at any
other point, and it now looks as If the grain
trade at this place may before long compre-
bend the business which naturally belongs
here. In this light, the facts In regard to
New York City are not without interesting
suggestions to out own business men.
