One of the most imposing services of the Catholic Church is surely the celebration of First Communion. In all congregations, which bare a resident priest, it is celebrated anaually. Bethalto, not having a resident clergyman, does not enjoy this privilege, but on last Sunday this celebration was again held, the first time in four years. Having received an invitation the writer attended the services and was struck with the, for Bethalto, extensive preparations lor the occasion. High Mass was celebrated by the Rev.

Father Xey, of Bunkerhill, ustavClauasen in her employ. He work- during whic be addreswd the first communicants in words both eloquent and touching. The music was furnished by the Bunker Hill choir, itnd they deserve all praise. They sanj? a strictly liturgical composition. The writer, who confesses to be no great admirer of "choral" music, niuat own that he has somewhat moderate 1 his opinion since hearing their mass of last Sunday.

At two o'clock vespers were sung and the communicants were received in the "Sodality of the BiesseJ Virgin," The church was well filled both at. the morning and afternoon services, and the congregation dispersed with the unanimous wish that, before long, Bethalto may again celebrate first communion of the children.

Loyet as suddenly taken very ill, and Claussen multaneously disappeared. A physician as summoned who pronounced her illness be from the effects of p6ison. He told er he could do nothing for her unless she Id him all the particulars of the cause of er illness. She then confessed that for veral years she had been unlawfully inmate with her hired man, Claussen, and at finally, to prevent, as they supposed, discovery of their crime, she had taken me drugs which Claussen had admin tered for the purpose of producing miscarriage. An examination reeled the fact that the powers administered were arsenic and her preparations.

The doctor could nothing for the woman and she cd and was buried. Meanwhile a man Troy received a letter from Claussen, filed at Hermann, in which he con- ssed the relation that had existed between raself and Mrs. Loj'et admitted ad- iuisteriug the drugs, and ended by asking she was dead yet.

There are uome four or five houses in course of construction, nud several others iu contemplation.

There is alao manifest disposition on the part of our citizens to fix up their homes so ft to render them as attractive as possible. The farmers in our community are willing to acknowledge that wheat is almost an eutire failure. Were our best pieces our wurst, their doom would be sealed; but as it is we must leave some for bread. The spelling mania haa reached our place, and from die interest taken I fe3l safo iu S-'iying that our articles to tbe puhlic periodicals will, doubtless, be less faulty in this particular. Last week we were called upon to pay the last tribute of respect to une of our oldest aud most respected cilizeiia, Willis Barrow, aged 67 years.

He was a native of Kentucky, but came to Illinois iu eighteenth year. Fie married Miss Nancy A. Bowers, April 25, 1830. Six children were given to them, four of whom are still living. The mother was called from labor to her eternal reward, in 1806.

The father now, too, ia gone, and the four sisters are left fatherless and motherless; and yet they, in their sorrow," mourn not as those who have no hope, father and mother firmly bolteved that Jesus died and rose again, und Flic promise sustains them. The funeral took place from the Presbyterian church at Moro. A large of people from our town turned out to show the respect and affection they felt for this ruly good man. The bell the C. Church iu our place to toll in slow 1 solemn cadences as the long procession moved i ut of town, aud ere it ceased hell at Moro announced that that village too hnd turned out to join us in the funeral service, and in consigning rhu of our brother to the grave, side by side with his departed companion.

Mr. Barrow has been a consistent Christian for twenty years. His death was without an hour'p illness. The disease hud shown itself to have claimed the departed QB its victim some time ago, but his health nt the time of death was as good as could be expected fur a man of his age. He worked on Tuesday at his trade, (coopering) went home in the eveninp, ate his supper as usual, and retired.

In about an hour hia daughters retired but not to rest, for soon their attention was attracted to their father's room by certain unusual sounds; and going to his bedside they found him apparently lifeless. A physician was culled und it was soon ascertained that catalepsy had sure of its viciim. So passed from earth this indulgent fa i her. universally esteemed and lamented iVlluM citizen. Shall it be said of us (when we are pone) as it ha? been of Mr.

Barrow, he had not an enemy in the world The Baptist church at Betbnlto will be dedicated on the second Sabbath in May. We desire that all churches in the surrounding towns and country be represented.
