CORRESPONDENCE.

From Uemißglon. A party of thirty-one ladies and gentlemen attended the Dunham jubilee concert at Goodland last Saturday night. A flat car and two hand-cars propelled by the strong arms of the young ‘ gentlemen of the party furnished the means of conveyance. The party report an extremely pleasant time. After the concert they sat down to a fine supper at the Nichols House. The concert was a grand affair, about one hundred persons taking part in it. Kentland was also well represented. Judge E. P. Hammond and Senator S. P. Thompson were in town last Monday. The question as to whom we shall have for our next post-mas-ter is yet unsettled.
