It will be heated by steam, lighted with gas and will be supplied with water and sewerage. Tbe inside finish will be of bard wood throughout. On the Maine street front and on the eaBl side will be broad, high porches, which with the bay windows on tbe front and east side will add materially to the appearance of the structure, In the plans every appearance of a gloomy public building has been avoided and the new buildiDg will resemble a sub stantial inviting modern home.Tbe contract for the new building was awarded to Buerkin Hempen, their Lid being $13,300.

About 500 guests, friends and relatives from far and near, were present to celebrate this rare occasion. Aunt Sallie is the oldest person ever known in Schuyler county. All present brought well filled baskets and a bounteous feast was spread, and every one relished all the more, knowing it may be the last and only opportunity of celebrating her natal day. Her career is worthy of mention. She was born in Virginia, on the James river, and came from there to Illinois, having lived in her present abode for tbe past sixty years. She and her husband lived together sixty-five years, he having died eight years ago. She is the mother of twelve children, only three of whom are living, the eldest being seventy-eight years of age. There are six generations, Mrs. Maggie Neff, of Buah-ncll, being of tbe sixth generation. She draws a pension for services of her husband in the war of 1812, under Gen. Jackson. She has been bleBsed with good health all her life. Her only sickness was caused by falls received in her declining years, she being so feeble that she could not help herself. She received a very severe fall a few days ago, from which she will never recover. She has lived a Christian life, and since her last misfortune she has had a desire for God to relieve her of her terrible suffering, by death. There were numerous old people present and they all enjoyed themselves as though yet in their teens.A SWINDLER'S GAME.A man dressed in a light suit of clothes called on Father Weiss, of St. Boniface church, on Friday, to apeak to him about conducting the funeral services of his wife, who, he said, had died insomeother city and would be brought to Quincy for burial.

Rowland should have been notified of the fact. He and the majority of the inmates of the Home certainly do not deserve the insult given them by The ConslilutloD-Demc-crat.

If any visitor is insulted by any of the in mates the fact should be promptly re ported at headquarters.POISONED BV BAKING POWDBB Two families, ten or more people in all, have been seriously poisoned at La Harpe, 111., by eating bread or biscuit made from baking powder that is thought to contain a poison of some kind.
