They *y frankly that his moral character is Without a blemish, and that he will call Out the full strength of his party through h2s great popularity.

V KiyWedip from a Bloomington let­ ter the following, items iu regard to the corn crop, that will be of interest fo our readers; Owing to the remarka­ ble mildness of the Winter, the pas­ tures of Central Illinois have, so far Aery nearly sufficed to kee p the cattle Iu prime winter condition. The re­ sult is a remarkable saving in corn, ^frhich, considered with the embargo S^hich the mud has placed so eontinyally late pn, corn-hauling, is evidence tshat there is yet to come to market a %onderful amount of the staple cereal .*-rmuch greater than usual at this sea- ion, even in years equaling this in pro­ ductiveness. While there is an abund­ ance of corn in Central Illinois, such is ipot the case in tlie northern part of the State. In JoDaviess and other flounties of the north, the early frosts destroyed much of the crop, so that the £fu mew ire obliged io have corn im- . ported there, and are paying for it from 45 to;50 cents on the trade.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--The North­ ern Illinois Horticultural Society, which tnet in Growers Hail, at Crystal Lake Crossings, on the 25th, 26th arid 27th, inst,, was decidedly an interesting gathering. There 1s evidently a great and increasing interest growing out of this branch of industry, as was evinced' by the presence of many'of those old veterans who have served many years in the Horticultural ranks and whose experience i$, of untold value te the country. ;v The following £tate« were repre­ sented ; Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Illinois. The following were among the resolutions passed during the ses­ sion, to-wit: Itemized* That we -as Nurseryman, will donate to each of our rnstotjiers the coming season, a tree to be planted by them as a Centennial tree. Jfes'>h>ed% That we will pattern after our sister State, Iowa, in respect to the getting apart a day to be known as -Arbor X*ay,M in whieh every man, woman.atwl ^hild, holding or having any Beal iMate, be required to plant out a tree. or in other • wordta, that a tree be planted for eaeli ineiiib^r of it, family as Centennial trees. This on the part of many, wtfi be a work of-much interest, as the growth will be watched with great pleasure. This is a work in which all owners of Heal Estate sheuld be- deeply inter* ested. Those who may wish to obtain * copy of the proceedings of the differ­ ent Horticultuaal Societies of the State which includes the State, Northern, Central, and Southern Societies, can do so by addressing a letter to L. Woodard, Marengo, Ills., acompanied by one dol­ lar. The work is a neatly bound vol­ ume of over 400 pages, containing the fnll proceedings of the' various socie­ ties of the State together with much valuable information in regard to Hor­ ticultural. Any perton thns sending in their name, will also become a member of the Society, A MEMBER, WOODSTOCK. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--When I wrote you last week I supposed the Pickle War to be ended, but a treaty of peace has not yet been made, indeed, some say there are two parties in this town, in reference to this matter of settlement, to wit, One party in fa- vorof a compromise, the other opposed to taking anything short of dollar for dollar, since the Eastern Assignee was here last week, and said that there is a sufficient amount of assets to pay all bona fide debts, if these assetts can be turned into money at their real worth. Of course the parties who are in favor of a compromise are those who expect, or would like to be, prefered creditors; and those who have already compro­ mised by getting their pay, which under the operation of the Bankrupt swindle they will be compelled to re­ fund. Your correspondent does no£ know of any such, but can imagine that they would not like to be distnrbed. The feeling in opposition (to a compro­ mise is growing in intensity and the holders of pickle checks sitting on the ^Ragged edge" have some ol them ex­ pressed a strong desire to make angels of these Noble-raen, at the first oppor­ tunity. The principal stockholders in' that Factory would do well to pay these producers for their summer's work unless they thinfk enough has been made out of the establishment «o that it can be allowed to rot, or be turned into a brewery, or ,an icehouse. , The discussion of the "blind" bnsi- iiess h»is paused an examination into the merits of the blinds already in the caurt roonv, from whieh it appears ihat they are far from being a superior ar­ ticle, as tliejtesons are too narrow to ftll'the mortises which makes it n*?ces- «ary to pin them together, a thing that is never done where blinds are to be oiled and varnished. One of the pan* els has already shrunk out of the groove and they not more than six months hung; the lumber contains «ap and knots, and was evidently sawed from dead logs, as some of the stiles, rails, and parts of the panels., have turned black where they have been oiled, and they are but one inch thick, while the Lemmers blinds are one inch »nd oie eighth in thickess without knot or sap„ nor need we go beyond Whitsons store for samples. Will some one who knows tell us why this contract was let in that way? It Is evident that "Peter Fairplay" is a lineal decendant of the Peter we read about who lied three times when the truth would have done much better. Frank Field having resigned the presidency of the Woodstock Dramatic Aassociation, and H. Hayes the Secre­ taryship, Delos Blakeslee was, last Monday evening elected President and Lester Brown Secretary. Court has ajourned and there is bnt little news in town, the roads being so b»d that the farmers ean't bring any in. Our new bank has a new sign up that reads "The Farmers Bank" and the "Richmond House', hangs out a shingle at the foot.of the stairs leading to Na­ tional Hall. Arnold & Zftmqaer commenced their sk».4»ay?So» w- <jtemdny but were thawed out till Sunday when they be­ gan again with the ice 11 inches thick. The ice crop is«ot likely to be a large one.

The Greenwood Literary Associa­ tion, meet agaiuon Friday evening of this week. The attendance on last Friday evening Was not as large as usuail on account.of the Inclemency of the weater. The friends and Neighbors of Mr. Dwight Smith turned out on 'Thursday of last week-and helped haul home the lumber for his new lionse. From our stiring and enterprising; town-man Mr. H. J. Wood we have been enabled to gather the few follo\f- '"8 Statistics in reefrence to lis expe­ rience^* to the profits in feeding and fattening hogs, which may not he unin­ teresting to some of your readers. Mxf Wood informs us that his sales have been as follows; A lot of 18 hogs, sold at an average of #22,00 per head or $6,90 per hundred,the heaviest weight being 570 pounds. Also another lot of 29, sold at 7,00 per hundred, (not de- liverd) From his showing of the profits of feeding, we have the following. One pig 5 months; old weighing 110, pounds, gained 20 pounds in 19 days. One hog gained 210 pounds in 47 days, or an average of about 4J pounds per day. Another lot of 33, worth, (or which cost) f275,00' were fed in 5I days, #78,22, worth of corn, (valued at the rate' of 35 cents for 75 pounds,) sold for #429,80, making 70 cents per bushel for the corn fed, or 28 per cent on the money invested for the time of feeding, or at the rate of 148 per centper annum, showing conclusively that pork can be made at 37,00 per hundred with good corn at 70 cents per bushel, or at #5,00 per hundred with corn at 5© cents per bushel. He informs us r.h*t he intends putting up a pen of id more hog-s which we are inclined to think will pretty successfully crib that 4600, bnsh- els that he has raiced from his 40 acres the past season. -3&VEN. MUNDA. i E DITOR PLAINDEALER r--I am afra i d Nunda locals will be slim this week, nothing having met my notice of any importance for a lengthy article. The Horticultural Society met in the Factory with quite a large attendance f-romnhe whole Northwest. There has been many meetings of the stockholders, principally to raise money for lawyers. We have heard from good authority that our farmer stockholders were coming out :ill right. Archdeacon is not going to put his old debts on to men here vvho have gi^ea their all to help the factory. Mr. Waidner has admitted that he knew the Stock Company was a fraud when he went into it. Let every one keep a stiff upper lip and we win yet have a factory run on a cash basi6. Meetings are being held in Nunda Hall and the M. E. Church with good iuecess. A good many Swedes have come out on the side of the Lord. Great good is being clone. Meetings will be continued this. week. Twenty-eight persons joined the If. E. Clmreh oa six inotijhs probation last Sunday, and wWe given the hand of fellowship by Elder Hewes. Ira Mallory now has the agency of all the daily, weekly and semi-weekly Chicago and o.ther papers, in all 13Q different ones. Yon should not fail to call an Ira to subscribe fer any paper* He can save you money by doing so. - Found, a Kid Glove. The owner can have the same by calling at Ira's. Murfitt, the Jeweler, is making a clock with a jack knife.. Go and see It. A CARD. Seme say, *well Ira, what are yott going to do with Archdeacon?" I say nothing. When 1 was loseing trade because I would not take scrip I went up and made a bargain with them, they agreeing to let me have goods at wholesale and take scrip. After I had taken in a quantity of it I went np there and they would not do as .they agreed to. I came home and vs there had freen a great deal of talk about the scrip injuring every merchant in town and no one daring to do anything about it, I sent a five cent piece to Washington and asked if it was legal to use it. They said no. Then the first thing I knew I was subpoenaed to Chicago before the Grand Jury, and ^ftweekl had to obey Uncle Sam's order, together with four others., and[ appear before the United States Court. When I was in the army I had to obeyj Uncle Samuel, and I ever expect to. I do not wish to prosecute Archdeacon now he has quit using the scrip. It should have been suppressed immedi-, ^ ately after it commenced tQ circulate, but when Unele Bam calls me I am ready. Some people have become offended at pieces I have seat to the papers, an d more than one by pieces that I never wrote, but they were laia to me. I have never written anything with the intention of injuring-any one, I endeav­ or to give news as far as I learn them and facts. I do not think there ever was a local but what was found fault with and yet if you A«nt get the locals you call a paper flat. . Yours in Friendship. jtBA- SOLON MILL*r • s EDITOR PLAINDEALER ; -- The Dona­ tion laat Friday evening was largely attended, and bnt for the bad weather the house would-not have held all who would have come. The Oysters were plenty and of an excellent quality. It would have done you good to see the table, heavy ladened with goodies, and surrounded with old maids and bachs, devouring the Oysters as fast as com­ mittee of twenty-four could wait upon them. A couple of young ladies passed around the rooms with a bag whieh con tained numerous articles, charging five cents a grab, the person being allowed to put their hands in the bag and take therefrom any one article it contained. The bag was soon empty and four dol­ lars realized therefrom. The sport it created was worth more than the cost and trouble of preparing. One fellow drewan egg shell with a doll baby in it Who can heat that for five cents? * Va­ rious games, with music and s'nging, filled up the time until after middight, when the erowd dispersed to their homes. Amount received $73.00. Net proceeds $50,501 . The Ladies of %oIon are about to start a Sewing Society, to try and raise money enough to finish paying for the church organ. As it is leap year they will wait no longer the motion of the men but try and do something to pay a debt of so long standing. Preaching Every Sabbath morning a( 10J o'clock.
