On the Second Third and Fourth Sab
baths of each month the Baptist de-
nomination of this place have preach
ing in the Court House. We think it the
best place in town to hold regious ser-
vice, 1st, because it is about the centre OF
town and consequently more convenient
to all classes. I'd, because, the public,
irregardless of sect, are in the habit OF
meeting there, either during sessions
of the various courts, or Oh other pubic
occasions, and frequently, to visit the
different business Offices in the building.
Lastly, but not least, because, on the
same principal, that street churches in
the business portions OF Northern and
Western cities attract the passer-by,
so will this bring within Gospel hear
ing class of individuals who other
wise would not go to any church. The
moment the Court House bell sounds
on Sunday, some one, among the many
who are lettering around what is gene
rally known as "the public square" goes
over to see what is "going on" and d.
rectly others will follow suit, until
quite a number Of non-church- goers
are in the presence of those who are its
regular attendants. Why, as far back
as we can recollect, previous to the
war, and before the Episcopal church
was built, when they and other denom-
nations held services in the Court
House, such thing as small congre-
CATION was unknown and it will al
ways be so, especially where business
houses are kept open on Sundays.

The lamentable destruction OF prop
erty, and even Of human life, that
is going on in the immense over
flowed district of the Mississippi val
ley, should make our prairie far
mers more than content with their
lot, even though there has been too
much rain. The winter has been very
mild, in fact there has been no winter,
and no stock Of any consequence has
died; beef cattle are still fat, and a
luxuriant crop Of grass is growing.
There is but little grain in the country,
but they can get along with little; and
the good weather of the past two weeks
enables them to plant big corn crop.
They begin the season therefore under
comparatively very favorable aus
pieces. This is the paradise of
the State, for farmers: good soil, a
healthy country, no overfows, and a
soil and climate that is favorable to
a great variety of crops.
