Ste. Genevieve Herald Ste. Genevieve, Mo. Saturday, Mar. 3, 1883 We trust the new Co. Court will see to it that the expenses do not exceed the annual revenue this year. They can't plead ignorance like the old Court. The law is plain and emphatic, and the court will do well to obey it. The Public School Library has been enriched by the acquisition of the works of Cooper and George Elliot, recently purchased by the school board. We hear that the material for the construction of the new Catholic church at Coffman's has already been hauled and that building will soon commence. A ghost was seen in town last Wednesday night, walking up Main Street and Westward on Market near 2nd, where it disappeared. The parties viewing the sight were too frightened to investigate. Mr. Jacob SCHULER, of New Offenburg, says that the wheat in his neighborhood has not suffered very much, where farmers rowed in the right time. He thinks the present alternate frosts and thaws hurt the wheat crop more than the hard winter did, and if the weather keeps favorable, the crop may be a good one. Our friend Frank FALK has just returned from the City with goods enough to supply the whole county. Frank knows all about his business and especially how to please his customers. The Jackson Cash-Book says: Ste. Genevieve has taken a strp ahead of other South-east towns. Every few days a lecture is delivered by some cultured gentleman of the town on some literary or scientific subject. Such a means of culture and entertainment is greatly to be encouraged. Friend BERRY made a dash for Capt. THOMPSON this week. Having found his track across the river he followed him to near Kaskaskia where he is said to have come upon the fugitive in the woods, but the Cap. wouldn't come willingly and was not scared worth shucks, and so Wm. came home minus his prisoner. Our old acquaintance S. Henry SMITH couldn't stand it any longer and sold the Watchman out to Messers. McMULLEN and STONE. He does not seem to have decided yet where he will start the next paper. There are rumors afloat of work soon to be resumed at the Quarrytown sandstone quarry, also at the Little Rock quarry, to furnish rocks for the Government works along the river and lively times are anticipated. Wonders don't cease. Scarcely has the man with the five-legged cow departed Ste. Genevieve, when another arises at Cape Girardeau to boast a calf with seven legs. The most wonderful circumstance in this case is that a calf was attached to each leg. The panther that prowls in the neighborhood will only show himself when he is not expected. Xav. ECKENFELS saw something like him the other day without looking for him, and Joe. VORST was looking his best for him on Wednesday but couldn't see a hair of him.
