CORRESPONDENCE.

From Remington* Commencment exercises will be held in Durand Hall on Friday evening of this week. The occasion promises to be one of unusual interest. Hon. O. P. Tabor has commenced the erection of a handsome ana commodious residence bn the grounds once owned and occupied by W alker Sage. It will be an ornament to the town, especially that part of the town. Mrs. Walter Rich, Mrs. Harry Hartley, Misses Flora Hart, Fannie Jones, Alice Patton, Rose Hollingsworth, May Tedford, Nellie Traugh and Messrs. Jacob Rich, Will Geier and Barton Tedford attended the Commencement exercises at Goodland last Friday evening. They report a very enjoyable time and an interesting programme. We regret to state that Robert Love’s condition is such that a change of climate has been ordered. He expected to leave Kankakee on Tuesday of this week for a sojourn of indefinite length in Denver, Col. The many friends of Mr. Love in this place will hope for good results from the proposed change. Drs. Patton and Ramsey are building a handsome new office on Miss Bolles’ lot, two doors from the post office.

Rev. J. L. Smith, D. D., will hold quarterly meeting here next Saturday and Sunday. The irrepressible Daniel Coleman made things unpleasant at his boarding he use, last Sunday. There is a lad in this town who lias been in the habit of torturing birds. He had better call a halt before he is arrested and fined, for he certainly will be, probably before this is in print The first ice-cream and strawberry festival of the season will be given by the ladies of the M. E. church, tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. Mrs. P. H. Lally is suffering from a second attack of nervous prostration. The well at the creamery having failed, the water has been supplied from the public wells of the town. The net results of the complimentary benefit extended to Mr. Frank Hardy reached the handsome sum of $78.50. The exercises both vocal and instrumental were all that any lover of good music could desire. Miss Daisy Reed and Frank Hardy were the leading vocalists and both sang with spirit, skill and expession. The violin solo by Bert Shepherd was beautifully rendered and the “Siege of Paris” by Mrs. Joseph Larsh, Mr. Shepherd and his son Bert, was magnificent. In fact all who had part in the exercises acquitted themselves with credit.
