From a Summer Resident.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov Is, 1881.
Dear Friends of Eonton, No.
adopt this method Of happy greet
ing to you all, hoping it may prove
equally pleasant to all of you.
Since my return to the city, my time
has been as precious to me as Lycidas',
the Youthful Athenian, whenhe said his
"race for the crown and palm were
dearer to him than life ITSELF"
It not necessary to explain to you
that am student, as you are already
aware that this is my fourth year in
these schools.
And to be a successful student in the
st. Louis schools means diliigent, in
cessant improvement of time and tai
ents. Indeed, we get hardly enough
exercise or recreation for the physical
powers.
We are kept up, and encouraged in
spirit, by the daily success we meet,
and the hope Of the crown of victory
which lies just beyond every good, dill
igent student.
It matters not where we are study
inr.-or what we are studying,-if our
object be to thoroughly qualify our
selves for better clarifying God, and
thus exercising more elevating influ-
ence upon those with whom we associ-
ate.
In the term elevation, / mean stimu'
lating them to more active exercise OF
the talents which have been bestow ed
upon them.
As we are taught through every
cycle of time that man or mortals nave

The Star Route men have been re.
leased by the Court, the judge holding
that proceeding against them by infor.
nation was notlawful. The prescott.
ing attorney claims that the triumph
of the thieves will be short-lived, fol
he will now proceed against them by
indictment, and the question Of the in.
tervention of the statute of limitations
will have to be determined by the
court. We may safely conclude, for all
that, that Brady and his pals are Sc

The editor of the Post-Dispatch has
been arrested for criminal libel against
Kennett, the st. Louis Chief Of Police
and Frank Bowman. The following
paragraph contains the offending mat
ter:
1--WE were pleased with the appointment OF
MIR. Kenneth, and have tried to think well OF
him. He is young. he has borne good name,
and he has every incentive to follow an honor
able career. We are willing to believe now
that he has been led into this mistake by
others, and that he is not wholly responsible.
tie has fallen into the hands OF knavish
and malignant adviser (meaning and intend
ing to be understood and mean the afiiant,
Frank J. Bowman), who is as interruptions
as he Is ignorant, and as vicious as he
is cowardly. The depravity and cunning
of this Newxate rat is visitle throughout
the whole dirty business. The methods
are peculiarly his. The sooner the Chief
OF Police shakes this Shiny creature away
from his ear the better it will be for his
fair name. Without good reputation, Office,
mower, emoluments are nothing, and Mr..
Kenneth is old enough to be aware of the
fact''
Mr.. Bowman is the "Newgate rat"
referred to. The editor of the Post
Dispatch gave bond in the sum of
$500, and claims the ability to prove
all he has said against the prosecu-
tnra.

THE building of the Union Protestant
Church is in course of erection at this place.
1t is hoped it Will be ready for occupancy by
the first Of the new year. The town is with
out a church at present, and needs one very
much.
THE boom of the shotgun and the crack Of
the rife disturb what should be the calm OF
the Sabbath in this vicinity. A man may
stand upon the railroad platform here and,
almost any Sunday. count the reports of a

hour. Is this not a violation of law-both
human and divine! If so, whose is the duty
to punish the offenders!
