To too Mttor of I ho OwMtl Saint Genevieve. Mo., Aug. 3, *05.-11 yon will allow me space in tbe column* of yoir valuable paper, I shall give yon a brief account of my Itome town, which settlement, you remember, is a quaint old French village; one of tbe old est in the Purchase and the oldest in the state of Missouri. Inasmuch as the church records up to 1804 are in French. I have been unable to gather much of its early history. How ever, the patron Saint of this settlement was a shepherdess of of the early cestories, whose borne was near Parts. Her most noted achievement was her successful labors in saving that city daring a prolonged famine. The sketch ot her lira is also *in French, with a possible abstract in Latin. Both tbe town and tbe countv bear her name. Tbe village has every appear ance of antiquity. Most of tbe old houses built before the Pur chase, arc'still used, having been torn down and moved from “the big field" to tbe -hill" some sixty or seventy years ago when the river changed its channel. Many of the houses areboUt of logs placed upright and pinned together with long wooden pins. Some of the more modem edifices are of ordinary frame structure with brick between the scantlings. Within tbe past taro years, since the Frisco and Illinois Southern railroads were built through here, several modem buildings have gone up. The streets are narrow, and the sidewalks art not over 3# feet wide. Long grass forma a most beautiful fringe for the walks, but it approaches too near tbe centre. It can be truly said in one respect of this people, "They keep in the mid dle of the road.p I am told by some oi the older citisens that tbe town hsa seen no radical changes, and presents the same appearance that it did when tbe people of St. Louis came here to do their "shopping." The town has (ewer inhabitants according to the last census than it had in 1802. ' There seems to be very little life in business, yet every one gets alonf handsomely io what ever buainesa he is engaged; and as a matter of fact there is a great deal of wealth both in the town and throughout tbe conn* ty. One of the leading indus tries here is the manufacture of lime. Tbe two establishments in the town turn out from three to four hnddred barrels per day. St. Genevieve has a large glass plant. I would mention tome facta shoot the country in general, river, river transportation, soil of the country, methods of fsnn Inf and other sections of Missouri which I have visited, but should I continue, a more Profitable place for my paper may be the waste basket. •_• D.

The boy, shot through the body, dragged himself into the boose and told who had dooc the firinn. AU night long Rev. awl Mm. Carter crunched ia their heme.
