The railroad company have planted willows
along the bank of their lot on the east side of

The school directors of Shcsbcquin have
just provided every school in the township
witii a copy of Webster's Unabridged Dic
tionary. This example should be followed
by every board in the county. As yet we
believe there are only two other townships
that have been thus supplied—Warren and
Granville.
Monroe.
" We hold these truths to he self-evident,"
that correspondents and contributors for the
REVIEW and other respect ible and sprightly
sheets, are entitled to a fair share of consid
eration, as well as editors and publishers of
the same. So when parties cannot find it
convenient to call at the sanctum editorial
and receive a friendly recognition, they may
visit the less pretentious grotto of a contrib
utor with the assurance that literary life and
habits all tend to courtesy and refinement,
especially toward the gentler sex, with their
molifying influences and genial and oft need
ed influences over us impetin us beings.—
Such being the case, we make a note of it,
and for a day or two we chronicle those an
gelic lookings in upon our hotnclv retreat,
that we arc so gratified to call home, or
sanctum.
There was Mrs. W. W. Irvine with her
huge basket of benevolence, and her heart
full of kindness, making somewheres near
her twentieth call of a iijvo import, without
the least probability that this is anywhere
near the last time that age and infirmity are
to be made to leap for joy, because of her
unostentatious presence.
There is Mrs. J. F. Woodruff whose coun
tenance a long-time has indicated that she is
a second "Rachaal," remembering the frost
that nipped the first-born, but she is of t he.
same christian faith still, and her practices
keep pace with her sturdy, good old Scotch
Presbyterianism.
Then there is Mrs. Doctor Hull, without
cither pill or potion, and with a shining coun
to nance and a cheery heart, dispensing glad
ness as light dispells gloom, and showing
"that a merry heart maketh a cheerful coun
tenance." Yes, and it begets dheerfulness all
around it.
There is Mrs. D. J. Sweet and Mrs. Daniel
Huntley, with faces and hearts full of the
milk of human kindness, all smiles and vivac
ity, with a good wish for everybody, not for
getting the REVIEW, and a good word for
everything, even for the Monroe correspond
ent. O, how welcome and refreshing such
little attentions; they are the green spots in
this great Sahara of human life. We find
'also in this constellation Mrs. ]>. P. Dodge
and last but not least, Mrs. J. L. Rockwell,
all noted for iives of human kindness. Right
here, like the AposfD, " time would fail us"
to make mention of the whole list of Monroe's
fair claimants upon our pencil, but this must
do for this time. Please call again, ladies.
