They were Clothed with happiness. Like the birds of Paradise, they were jubilantly happy. Aaron Timmons, who was thrown from a horse a few days ago and quite seriously injured, is rapidly improving. At present one foot is too large or else the other one is too small. The Congress of Kankakee tp, at its last session passed a law to allow each school a janitor. The bill was at once signed by Chief Executive Maloney. This act is a very commendable one and should be duly appreciated by the instructors. The extra time thus gained should be devoted to studies in their profession. ■ * The Fanners' Picnic at the river last Saturday was an old-fashiooed love

feast of sociability. There was, however, a small crowd compared to what we expected, but yet a large crowd is not aiways the best. The oration of the day was delivered by Prof. Rogers of Shelby, in a true, masterful way which evoked much favorable comment. His argument in favor of fraternal organizations was unanswerable. He proved to all whose ears are open to reason that fraternity, which is the foundation of all orders, is the spool around which Christianity is woven. After the oration the races were held, beginning with the foot race. Two competitors, Messrs. Irwin and Herath, entered the foot race. After a spirited contest the laurels were placed on the brow of the former. Next was a barrelrace on the sparkling waters of the Kankakee, between Philip White and Earl Pfeil, resulting in a victory for the former. Last, which was the crowning feature of the day, was the horse race between the celebrated black belonging to Philip White and the Spirit of Swiftness belonging to Edward Rockenbacb. After a displayal of swiftness the Rockenbach horse was declared the winner. But yet the turf scepter has not departed from Kankakee. The grand bowery dance in the evening was an ideal affair. Good music, good order and a good time prevailed. Come again next year.
