of April, after an illness of three months.
She bore her suffering with the most Christian like fortitude. Thinking
her sickness might prove fatal; she called her spiritual advisor, Father FELTMAN,

prayed most fervently to our Savior and his Blessed Mother. She then fell into a sleep, in which her
countenance was illuminated with smiles, as thought she was entering in the
'joys and happiness of the

that reminds me that certain parties in St. Louis have offered inducements to
establish a bottle factory here, provided some encouragement is offered

The
farming has been kept backward on account of too much rain - some are just
finishing sowing oats, while others are getting ready to plow for corn. Wheat is looking well,
and good prospects for a large crop.

Our
dairymen have a considerable smile on them at present - the grass is growing
rapidly, and lots of water.
From
all appearances, Will PLASS will have a dairy here, soon. He has a two-third interest in a good dairy
farm here now, and the balance he will get soon.
The
biggest excitement we have had of late, happened on the 29th of April. An assault and battery case of R. MUELLER,
wife and daughter, vs. B. MUELLER, a brother of E.'s, lately arrived from the
old country. B. was the first arrested,
but he was acquitted. He then had his
brother arrested, but the matter was settled by the influence of Wm.
