EDITORS COURIER:
Wednesday night the ancient, picturesque
building known here as the old church, was
filled to it's utmost with large, eager crowd,
who had gathered there for the purpose Of
aiding in the great, noble work which is fill
ing all hearts, " The Parochial school" Sell
dom had one seen SO much interess displayed,
and never, even in its primitive grandeur,
seemed he old edifiee more gently Deautif.1,
more calmly peaceful, for within its walls
were wise heads and young hearts, bound to-
gether by the golden cord of unity for tho adj
vancement of the great work which will ever
be in time immemorial grand token of the
love of parents for their cnildren's future well
fare. The evenings pleasure consisted OF re-
freshments serveG by willing hands, and q
repetition of the welknewn and far-famed
play 1.-THE Social Glass" by the Jolly Village
Crew in which is centered the life and light
of this little town. The young band labored
faithfully and earnestly for the promotion of
the cause, and richly deserves the praise and
good wishes of all. Music was furnished by
the College Orchestra under the direction OF
Prof Hichelhiem, and as the sweet strains
fioated out on the night air, they were waited
on high by the gentle zephyrs to invoke hea-
ven's benedietion, for the greatest prayer is
music. The evening was perfect success,
both socially and financially, and it will ever
be TO all present, u bright, beautiful memory.

EDITORS COURIER:
The rainy weather has continued so far into
the year, that the farmers are beginning to
consider that all planting of crops will be ii
little late. hear good many in this place
and the country speak OF visiting New Or
leans to attend the Mardi Gras season of fes-
tivities. The young grass has begun to spring
up and some forest trees to swell their buds,
which indicates that spring time is approach
ing Many gardeners and farmers have pur-
chased seeds for planting as soon as the earth
gets in condition to do so. Stock.cattle and
work animals appear to be in fine condition.
There was fine crop of pea hay made and
saved last fall. With abundance of corn i'll
t3ssl country yet why should any animal on
the farm look lean ? The people in this part
of the country are beginning to open their
eyes to the Importance of immigration. 1t is
time all the vacant and idle land had some
industrious hands to cultivate it: for the good
of its soils and to advance the country in
prosperity. The month of January now past,
was very hard on the saw mill and lumber
men. The roads at times leading to the mills
and lumber yards have been in very bad
condition, but are now reported as getting
better. No sickness of consequence reported
in this village or country.
Yours, ILLINOIS. !
