The best thing in spelling matches is from St. Louis. At a church sociable there, April 1st, they had a spelling match for a Webster's Unabridged.

The music was the best the Mendon band could furnish. The table was spread with all the delicacies and luxuries of the season. The festival was closed by 'mine host' Powers singing a song entitled "The Fair Banks of Kilkenny."
The Rutland correspondent of the Manchester Journal thus truthfully speaks of the small-pox scare:
"Business, which has been extremely dull, is picking up again, and our merchants are looking for a prosperous trade.
The small-pox scare was the last drop in our cup of bitterness, but that is happily over, and our friends outside need not hesitate about coming to us and bringing a well filled purse with them."
