From Kankakee.

Dear Republican : You must not think because 1 have been silent so long thatlha\e been like “Spitz” and “Egyptian,” off on a drunk. No! no! lam not that kind of a “hair pin.” I never get drunk unless I Can get something to drink. Some of the farmers are sowing wheart; they have not yet learned that every bushel of wheat they raise in this country does not cost them less than two dollars a bushel. A child of George W. and Joanna Cantwell died last week. They have the sympathies of the whole community in their great loss. Our Sunday Schools are still going on.— We offer no comment. The young folks had a social«inging nt the residence of Jonathan Wynott last Sunday evening. They had a good t’nfe, especially throwing hazel-nut shells at one another. Our winter schools have not commenced yet, but will in a few days, A few nights ago a man gave a show in the Williams school house, and the next day a couple of officers were in pursuit of him. It seems that the showman had been stealing some clothing and a little money. The Kankakee girls sing : “I’m determined to live an old maid ; I’ll take my stool and sit in the shade ; L’it not marry at aft, at all. I’ll not marry at all.” And wo believe it. As ever,
