We have noticed large assemblages
OF birds of various kinds in the Valley
this fall. There was almost as much
noise at these bird legislatures as in
our house of representatives at WASH
/ AoS tcu AZ tiO SAOSkuS Vi q SSSStOu
OF Congress, or in our State General
Assembly during the discussion of a
fellow-servant bill. Will some one OF
our local naturalists inform US as to
! what these assemblages mean? We're
they discussing the earthquake or the
weather?

Next month the Revision Bible Com
mittee, which began its labOrs in 1870,
and to which the world is indebted for
what is popularity known as the ..re-
vised version" will have completed and
published the revision of the apocry
phal books. There was some objec-
ton to the revision of this part of the
Bible, owing to the fear that the
knowledge that they were for centu-
ries regarded as part of the inspired
Scriptures might disturb the belief Of
plain, everyday people. They are to
be published. however, and whoever
cares to Eay compare them with the
books which have been pronounced OF
divine inspiration and draw his own
conclusions. While the publication OF
these books does not compare in i'm
portance with that of the revised Bible.
it is interesting as being the official
completion of task which is of no
small Importance to scholars and to
the history of literature.
The many friends of Bellevue Collie
giate Institute throughout Southeast
Missouri will be glad to know that the
most satisfactory results are being OBJ
tanned at this session of the school.
The President of the Institute, Prof. j.
V. Curtin, is one of the most popular
and thoroughly successful educators Of
the State, and the school is as well or
better equipped with teaching power
than ever before in its history. The
friends of the Institute who are famil-
lar with its present condition, feel
gratified at its greatly increased pros
perity and usefulness. 1t it confident
ly expected that all the old friends of
Bellevue Collegiate Institute will rally
to it's support. Its enemies have san
other fish to fry" The managers are
determined that Bellevue Collegiate
Institute shall be in the front rank of
educational institutions in Southeast
Missouri; they do not propose to take
the back trace, but to press onward
and upward. The friends of the Ipsti-
tute have great cause for rejoicing in
the fact that the enemies of the Insti-
tute are subsiding and the friends are
increasing in numbers and zeal. Those
wishing catalogues and other informa-
ton will address Mr.. j. Y. Curtin, or
Hon. H. S. Evans, Caledonia. Mo-.
One of the results Of the earthquake
of two weeks ago, we understand. is
not particularly satisfactory to Mr.. II.
n. Hutchins, living about two miles
southeast of Ironton. Several years
ago he had an artesian we'll sunk on
his place to the depth of three hundred
feet and good flow of water was Sc
cured. This continued until the 31st,
the day the earthquake came. The
flow then ceased, and has not since
been resumed. The other flowing
wells in the Valley have not been eff
fec.ed. In this connection We may
state that while We had but one vista
ton, the counties further south had a
second shake on the LIST inst, with
some not very pleasant results. at
Charleston. Mississippi county, the
first shock, however. was most serious
| and the country round about bears
many evidences of its severity. Near
| Henson Lake, six miles south OF that
| city, about four acres of ground was
sunk and filed with water, forming
another lake. Near Bertrand hundreds
of mounds of sand piled up. ranging In
size frsm - INCHES to 10 feet in cir
