' WE hear it rumored that the Germans were negotiating for the purchase of "the Brick Church, which tlicy proposed to change over lor a School House. We believe, however, that the bargain, has not been consumated. THE liens have been unusually quiet on the big egg questien this season so far<but we knew it would break^ out soon. II.-T. Dolbeer has left one on our table that measures S.|xG inches.-- Now we are waiting for the enterpri­ sing "Biddy" to beat that. THERE is a new member to the firm of Parker & Sou, proprietors of the Parker House, in this village. He was taken in on Friday last and weighed just7| pounds. Frank says he is as well asicould be expected under the circum­ stances. WE were forcibly reminded of home In our younger days, when we found on our table otie day last week, with the compliments of Mrs. W. S. Mead, of Ringwood,a roll of nice home-made Sausage. It was what we called very nice, and the donor will please accept our thanks. • GUR readers in Richmond and vicinity will this week receive a e»ll from O. Ball, wit© is canvassing that town for the popular work entitled, "Wife No- .19, by Ann Eliza Young, 19th wife of Brigham Young." - This is one of tl>e most interesting works no\V published, and should receive a careful examina­ tion from allow whom he calls. ,"v SMITH & SNYDER have closed out their Lumber Yard at Woodstock, having re- chipped what they did not sell there to their Yard in this village. This .firm *re doing a large and constantly in­ creasing business in Lumber and Pro­ duce, paying tlurMgltcst market price for att&inds of produce and at the same time setling Lumber as low or lower than any other Yard in the county. They will now devote their entire at tentioii to their business iu this village. fjr September last a Brass Band was organized in Volo, and since that time havebe^n under the tutorship of Wm. Tidmarsli, of Wauconda, and are making progress far beyond the expectations of thejnost sanguine. We are informed by good judges from that place that if they continue to improve in the next three months as they have in the past they will be socond to no Band iu Lake county. Success to them say we. „ THE Sociable at the residence of D. S. Smith on Thursday evening last was well attended and a highly enjoyable affair. It was a social gathering in every sense of the word, and Mr. Smith And his estimable Jady doue their ut­ most to make it pleasant for all. Du­ ring the <jypning it was decided to organize under the name of the Uni- versalist Mite Society, to hold Socia­ bles each week, and officers for the same were elected, cousistiug of a President, Secretary and Treasurer. The next Sociable will be held this Wednesday evening attlie residence of O. W. Owcu, to which all are eordialy ..-invited. \^THE ywmg ladies who are content plating matrimony during this tiliter- estiug Centennial leap year are cautioned' to first be sure* that they can properly support a husband, and Jo engage themselves to uo yonng man who is addicted to expensive finery, gewgaws and all that sort of thing, or to Bit ting in the parlor when he should be washing dishes. IF the people were not so well posted on the weather changes, we could write enough locals about this freaky busi­ ness to fill a clothes li»^e, Old Proba­ bilities, as published in the daily pa­ pers, is most of the time an unconcious liar, but the General is excusable, be­ cause the instruments will liave to be constructed that can Hop around as lively as the atmosphere haa done dur­ ing the past few months. THE new Ice House built by Jos. Wiedemann^ in the rear of his Board­ ing House, has been packed full of the nicest kind of Ice, from eight to ten inches in thickness, which is a sure guarantee that Joe will "keep cool" the coming summer. In one end of the Ice House he has also finished off a department for keeping fresh meat. He never does things by halves, and consequently has one of the best places for Ice ih the village. THE Hyatt House, at Nunda, is one of the best kept and most homelike Ho­ tels in.this section, and the traveler whose business calls liim in that section can rest .assured of being well cared for by calling at this popular Hotel. Mr. Hyatt is a born landlord, and' leaves nothing undone to make it pleasant for His guests. We take pleasure in recommending it to the confidence and patronage of the traveling public. THE Club Dance at the Parker House, on Friday evening last was attended by about sixty-five couples and was a suc­ cess iu every particular. The next Party will be held 011 the Birthday of that fellow who could not tell a lie, viz: Feb. 22nd, and it will be no lie to say that all who attend can rest assured of having a good time 011 that occa­ sion.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:--The excite­ ment caused by the Pickle business is over and now they are talking about an Oyster Suppler for the benefit of the M. E. Church. Ringwood is always do­ ing something in the right cause, and they have the name of being a liberal community. Our citizens ar£ talking new Station, better times and plenty of money when Grant is elected. A new Town Board is also talked of. Wonder who are the august candidates for Town Officers.?

Bet half a dollar I shall!" murmured an old chap who being loaded with too much whisky, he was feeling his way down the street. "Bet half a dol"--Just here the old fellow's lieelfe flew so high into the air that his head and shoulders beat them back to the ground. Rising to a sitting posture, he took up his hat, rubbed the back of his head, and then said: "Won the money, just as I expect­ ed! And itisllie first bet I've won this winter!"

EDITOR PLAIXDEALER:--It was the the ybung horses which the thieve^ thought to get out of the stable of Jiio Gali6e, about two miles northwest of Woodstock, but by mistake the scoun­ drels took the old ones instead, and when daylight appeared concluded not to run any further chances of getting away with the old stagers, and left them to make their way back*to their stable as best they might. By the way the Porkers huddle around John I>. Short's Scales, Hog must be Slving again. And judging by the cheerful countenances of both seller and buyers of ,|iis swinish majesty, good prices prevail, thereby causing farmers, to some extent, to forget their ill luck in the Pickle business. By the way, I am informed by sever­ al of the Directors of the Pickle Com­ pany, who conversed with Mr. Weight- man, the Pittsburg Assignee of Heinz, Noble & Co., that the assets of that Bankrupt concern are likely to pan out much better than the twenty percent talkers represented. All that your cor­ respondent can say in that behalf is. "So mote- it be," Our Pickle enterprise, thus far has proved to be on the sliding scale, and that too, like the boys *sled, down hill. Notwithstanding there is good ground for belief that ps.st adverses will serve to work off the overstrained theories of too large expectations, and that the business will be operated on a surer and more practical basis, and prove a source of profit to the stockholders and grow­ ers, and Indirectly to the community.-- The Directors have .ueitaiuly worked witk a zeal worthy of better success* They have worked untiringly, but it seems that constant working &mong pickles sharpens the wits of those to : whom the business of manufacturing and selling is entrusted to such In ex­ tent that ordinary minds caunot cope with Pickle dealers. In these times of crooked whiskey prosecutions, our Postmaster is a little exercised over that $83,000 worth of stamps sold at his office, as per last weeks Sentinel, lest he be called on to make up the difference between the amount actually sold and the said $83,000. But Asa is plucky, and 110 sei-i* ous doubts exist in the minds bf his friends but that he will prove master of the situation. The oldest inhabitant still insists that this Is the most remarkable Winter he ever experienced. But if the Wood chuck or Racoon should happen to leave his den on the 14th inst. and can see his shadow by reason of the sunshine, that same oldest inhabitant will tell you that six weeks of snug winter are yet to be before e the rial Spring shall coin*. The Improved condition of our roads Is a geneknl cau«o of rejolefng,and great numbers of the teams which concen­ trate around our beautiful Park indicate that farmers fail not to come to town, and judging by the activity of our counter-jumpers our merchants cannot complain of dtdl times. The Phoenix Mills are now run by the firm of Toles & Barber, a sure guaraiw tee for an abundant supply, in futuro, of everything in the milling line. Arnold, Zimnier&Co. have, for sev eral days past, kept a chain of teams between Spring Lake and their Brewery hauling Ice, which, notwithstanding the mild weather* lias acquired a thick­ ness of about ten Inches. It is rumored that Mayor Jefferson has or is about to resign, but Madam Rumor has not posted your correspon­ dent as to reasons. ^ L. P. S<JTJAKE Kichmoitd Department. D. A. POTTER, EDITOR.

CHEESE.--During the concluding week of January last year, the receipts and exports at New York aggregated less than they did [last week. The exports were then 7,403 boxes, both the home and foreign demand continuing good. Export^ continue brisk, and there is a tendency ou the part of holders in the interior to claim a high figure with in­ creased confidence. No quotable change appears in prices at any sea­ board market. Advioes from Boston indicate quiet and a lack of good quali­ ty, with prices of ohoice factory rang­ ing from 12$ to 13 cents. No transac­ tions ou this market are noteil,buta fair analysis of the general feeling leads us to quote factory at from lli to 12 cents. BUTTER.--The sca-board markets re­ main quiet; no activity aualgous to Butter trade has sprung up • WATCH LOST, On Monday Jan. 31st, between the villages of Richmond and McHenry, a heavy Gold Watch, with Silver chain attached.

A SURE CURE FOR DIARRHG3A. This is to'oertify that after coming home from California to my family in Chicago I was taken with a diarrhoea. I tried everything that was recommen­ ded to me (but did me no good) for over five years, until I got two bottles of F. Marcus' Bitters which complete­ ly cured me. Robert Forrest Peter lilane and others can testify the above to be true and no humbug. I have proved it to bo equally as good for billions complaints.
