    3. Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Jan. 6, 1883 The carpenter work at the Cone Mills was finished last week - and fine, substantial work it is, to be sure - and the millwrights were expected to come down on the Elliott last Tuesday, but, owing to the ice in the river, they were obliged to come by way of DeLassus. Five of them arrived here on Wednesday; the rest - it is said that there will be 18 in all - were expected to join them soon after. At the solemn high mass, on the Feast of Ste. Genevieve, Rev. Fr. REMILLION, of Perryville was celebrant; Rev. Fr. SCHMIDT, Deacon; Rev. Fr. HUITTLER, of Bloomsdale, Sub-Deacon. Rev. Fr. F.X. WEISS, the rector of Ste. Genevieve, was Master of Cermonies. An English sermon was delivered by Rev. Fr. McCARTHY, of Perryville. Two sermons, one in German, the other in French, were preached by Father HUITTLER, of Bloomsdale. The recipients of holy communion numbered a few over 200. Mike TURLEY, one of the inmates of the County Farm, who ought to be in an asylum, stole out of his cell one day week before last by breaking the slats in his beadstead into splinters, sticking the fragments into the cracks of the 14 feet plank fence separating him from the yard, and climbing as by a ladder, over the said fence. The terrified women immediately locked all the doors, but the Superintendent with the help of the servant soon secured him and led the demented man back to his room. WILLING WILLIE We learn that Willie C. TOWNSEND of St. Mary has gone up to Jefferson City to prospect for a clerkship. Willie is a thoroughbred of the most pronounced type and won his political spurs in the last county election, when he and his brother Frank distinguished themselves and wellnigh extinguished their party. Willie is thoroughly competent to fill the position to which he aspires. We wish him success.
