    3. Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Mar. 17, 1883 CORRESPONDENCE St. Mary, March 13, 1883 Mrs. BROWN, wife of Wm. BROWN died here Monday night, March 12, at 11 o'clock; she contracted a severe cold after childbirth, which proved fatal. Mrs. BROWN was a daughter of widow RUDLOFF. Mrs. REMKE presented her liege lord and master John with a fine little girl lately. John himself is undoubtedly a progressive man, which he has just at present proved by the establishment of a new boarding house. Thought he can, at present, boast only one boarder, there is still hope of better times coming. This would probably be a chance for your townsman and hotel proprietor, Joseph VORST, to get even, if he had a mind to travel as shoe and leather agent. Mr. REMKE will sometimes start from the wrong point in doing business. As a general rule people engage laborers to do work for them, whereas he has engaged a boss and is doing the work himself. The bar-keepers of St. Mary are at present busily occupied in the arduous work of preparing fishing nets, and the probabilities are that sad havoc will be played among the piscine fauna of St. Mary. Andrew WOLF had the same end in view but he reached his destination by a shorter cut; he ordered a large net from St. Louis, and I am of opinion that there will be a tremendous falling off in the price of meat this spring. The poor people should wish it good speed. James LANDS is building a new livery stable on his old place on Second Street. The building is to be two stories high and very roomy. It is probably not very pleasant to have a livery stable in the immediate vicinith of a dwelling house, but that cannot well be helped; in large cities, where people are still more cramped for room. livery stables and dwelling houses usually stand side by side in peace and unity; and St. Mary is going to be a great city of the future. Last Monday we enjoyed the pleasure of a grand musical entertainment here; a wandering minstrel exhibited his acquirements in the art of arts, as the champion violin player of the world, and made "The woods with music ring."
