LOCATION.

Haley city is located upon beauti-
full rolling prairie, interspersed with
groves Of fine timber. OH the line of
the Quincy Missouri & Pacific branch
of the Wabash st. Louis & Pacific
Railroad. half way between the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers, in one of
the most fertile districts of north Mis-
sour. There is no large towns in the
immediate vicinity to compete with it,
it being twelve miles by rail (fifteen by
wagon road) to Milan on the east, and
nineteen to Trenton on the west, with
out any town north or south, of any
importance, within less distance than
twenty five or thirty miles, thus leaving
an area OF nearly one thousand square
miles tributary to this place. and that
one among the best farming dis.
trictS in the state of Missouri.
CLIMATE, SOIL, AND PRODUCTS.
This being near the line ofthe forty
first parallel, the. climate: lis subject to
neither extremes of cold nor heat. The
soil is very fertile, producing corn, oats,
wheat and flax, and, indeed, ali the diff
ferent products usually grown in this
latitude. Apples, peaches, and pears
yield well when properly cultivated.
SIN all fruits grow abundantly, and as
for grasses, timothy, clover aud blue
grass all grow well. The location is
healthful. being upon high plain,
and no large streams near it, it is ex.
empt from those malarial troubles
which are such scourge to the people |
of some other localities, and such ter
ror to the new conner, who has never
before witnessed the sufferings produc.
by fevers and agues.

To say that the Normal regents
would ask an applicant his or her re-
ligious or political opinions would be
equivalent to calling them the worst of
bungiers and ninnies. Such things are
not done in that way. But when "sug-
gesuons and recommendations are re-
ceived from sources which CANNOT be
IGNORED" by the regents, people who
have any common sense will know
what such an excuse amounts to.
Why can they not be ignored in favor
of a competent, popular. acceptable
and faithful teacher! Pray tell.

Gone to Rest.

Many friends are called to mourn in the ] death of Mrs. Margaret Gavigan who passed away on Wednesday at her home in Dewitt ! street. The deceased lady had suffered for | the last few years of her life from dropsical affection, and her suferings were at times in-
 tense, but they were always borne with that spirit of gentle resignation that was marked characteristic of her nature. Always hoping and never complaining she was a bright orna
 ment to the household that seemed to shine
 the brighter for the presence of the invalid.
 It was not thought that the end was so near,
 but when the grim reaper came to gather in
 his victim he found her ready to leave this
 earth for a brighter, purer home. daugh
 ter and three sons are left to mourn the loss
 of kind and loving mother, one of the latter
 being now en route from Cincinnati to pay the last tribute of affection to the loved par ent who has gone to sleep the sleep of the just.

Thanksgiving Day in Fair Haven. The day began with coasting down the icy walks and roads, a sport that was ended as the sun came out thawing the ice, but not before one or two slight accidents had hap pened to the boys. One fine lad, whose name we did not learn, took his sled to the top of the heights, and, not realizing what trip he had undertaken went clear down to the railroad track, where he was thrown ont into the street, while his sled ran into the ditch. He was picked up in, a state of in- sensibility, but soon recovered on being cared for
 United services were held in the Second Congregational church, in which the First church, the Methodist and the Baptist churches joined. Rev. H. c. Hovey offered the invocation and read the proclamation. Rev. s. P. Hammond read the scriptures and offered prayer. Rev. Burdett Hart preached the sermon, after which Rev. E. M Jerome led in prayer, and collection was taken for the Associated Charities. The singing, led by the choir of the Second church, was ex- Ssllent, the principal selection being Te Deum, in which the finely trained voices of
 
 Mir. Hart's sermon was from Prov. 11:11, and was wholly devoted to the consideration of thelocal duties of Fair Haveners, espe- cially since annexation had brought both sides of the river under one control, to i'm prove and adorn the streets, parks, ceme tories and homes of that portion of the town. An appeal was made for new cemetery, to be located on the slightly knoll above the railroad bridge, and overlooking the Hamden meadows. An earnest warning was uttered against the growing intemperance and gamb- ling facilities furnished lately and a coun- ter-movement was proposed in the shape of a lyceum, with reading room, social hall and other attractions.
 The funeral of Mrs. Jesse Mallory took place yesterday afternoon from her late resi- denee, attended by large number of sor- rowing friends. Rev. Burdett Hart officiated and made remarks on the worth and charac- ter of the deceased and the lesson of her loss. The interment was in Fair Haven cem- etery.
