It certainly was the Social event of the season, and will long be remembered With pleasure by all present. The Gifts were all of the most beautiful and costly kind, and were an agreeable surprise to the host and hostess, not on account of their intrin­ sic value, but as an evidence of the es­ teem in which they ara held by their friends and neighbor.

[ EDITOR PLAIXDEALER--If there is- anything worth putting upon paper it has notcouie tq my knowledge tiulesi the sociable at John Stawarta is an ex­ ception and that was not much ot Ji sociablo-for the teams that drew the loads from Woodstock as tharo was racing enough for the Fourth of July, and to much for Sunday. Of coui-se there was a lively crowd and so pleased were tfoey with the rid« that the next one is appointed *! the residence of C. O. Parsons. » Some are discussing the question of who is to be our next Post Master, all seeming to agree that '"Gard" is to be the lucky man, but it is a question that does not concern ISqiteers except that ^the l-eason for changing at all is not very apparent, and if Mr. Lathrop be­ lieves in his own resolutions on "Civil Service Reform" he won't be in a hurry •to turn Asa out,even though the win­ ning side may demand it. Mr. Lathrop will make more friends than enemies in Woodstock by letting our postotflue alone fill Smith do^s some actor neg­ lects to perform sorne duty that makes it uecessary to remove him. Still it is not expected that our new congress­ man will take this kind of advic*. Wouldn't it be refreshing to havo a member of Congress from the Fourth District w ho had sense enough to know that there Is something for him to do beside changing all the. Federal officers in his district |issoon as he gets to Washington, drawing his pay with the utmost regularity, and fixing mat­ ters for a re-election. If "W. D." could only go in his place, the "Woodstock Ring would rejoice, Noble would re- Jn'rn to this city, pickle stock would command a pretuium, Uncle Curtis could run the AVtt ami justice would be done to every one. .But then "dot couldn't was." Christmas Eve (Saturday night) turns out to have been a regular Don- nybrook Fair there having been no few«»r than half a dozen lights. Last Tuesday Arnold & Zimmer be­ gan to lay in their store of ice, and the sleighing being passable the ice houses at the brewery were filled be­ fore night. the next day.

EDITOR PLAIXDEALKU:--The cool but beautiful weather of the past week- together with the splendid sleighing has produced a strong desire in the minds of all t o have a good sleigh ride, we should judge by the merry tjiroug that is constantly pacing through our streets. Mr. Martin has purchased the Bakery of R. G. Benton, where he may be found at all reasonable hours of the day ready to wait upon his numerous customers. A full stock of Bread, Cukes, Candies, Tobacco, and a thousand and one other articles constantly on hand and oflered at prices to suit the times. The stock ot goods of Mr. Rothgerber lias been boxed up and shipped to Clinton Junction, in Wisconsin, where 'ie intends goiug into business. The Christmas Party at Nunda Hall was a social aim enjoyable affair there being a good company present and good music, in . attendance. Upwards of forty numbers were called. New Years without a wedding would be a rather dull affair we think, but Nunda is not to be in that condition. \o, for we learn that Mr. Emery Filik, of Alden, and Miss Minnie Gilbert, of • Nunda, were married'by the Rev. R. K. Twid at Woodstock, New Year's. We • hope and 'rust that life's journey will be strewn with the flowers of Love and Aflection and that life's many burdens may he equally borne and consequent happiness crown with joy their fondest anticipation. We wish them a Ilappy New Year. Mr. D«de has commenced his ice har­ vest and ftWherop is A No. 1. He has made many additional improvements to h!s facilities for cutting and getting it out, also lie is enlarging his tneansof storing and when all his improvemerts are complete it will be the largest establishment of the kind anywhere in the country. TYUO. TEUKIBLt: HAIIJtO.lI> DISASTER. Another wholesale destruction of life near Ashtabula, Ohio, occurred on Friday night last. The following is the telegraph account: CI.EAVLAXI\ O., December 30--2 a. tn.--A t 7:30 o'clock last evevingan iorn bridge over the Ashtabula river on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad gate way under the Pacfic express, a train which consisted of eleven cars, drawn by two engines. The forward engine had justcleared tlie bridge when it "fell, and by the breaking of a coupling-pin, was left on the track. The rest of the train fell a distance of seventy-tire feet into the water below. Six of the eleven cars were passenger coaches. There were on board over 300 persons. The crash of the falling bridge and train was heard at a distance of a mile from the scene, and was immediately followed by a brilliant illumination of the sky, caused by the burning cars, which took fire almost instantly. Crowds of people were soon on the ground rendering what assistance was in their power, whiOh was little enough. About fifty were picked up from the wreck, and taken to neighboring houses. Of these several have already died. A relief train was sent from this place at 10:30 having on board ten physicians and a number of assistants. The heavy fall of ssiow will prevent this train reaching the sufferers before 2 or 3 O'clock this morning. " The most heartrending incidents are told. Several persons firmly wedged be.tween heavy timbers, yet not mor­ tally hurt, were burned to death before the eyes of helpless by-standers. * A man, a woman, and a child are now known to have died in this way. The man was roasted for full half an hour, uttering the most pitifill cries for aid meanwhile before death caiue. One of the most remarkable escapes recorded is th it of a gentleman, one of a party of four playing whist in a double seat. Two of his companions were crushed and the third was mortally hurt,but he escaped nuinjured. Two babes were taken from the wreck alive and not fatally iujured, There is no one to claim them. The Mayor and citizens of Ashtabu. la are doing all that can be done to alleviate suffering. It isextremly .cold at the scene of tlife accident. The snow- is already very deep, and is fulling, with a strong wind. A Crowded Srhool-houae in Flamas A three-story school-house, witfra narrow and winding stairway. Iri Min­ neapolis, Minn., caught fire from the furnace on Tuesday forenoon, while over nine hundred children were in the building. Presence of mind on the part of the teachers prevented a panic and probable loss of life. The circum­ stances are thus described: "About 10 o'clock this morning, while the schools wort in session, a fire started in the Jefterson School building, a three-story brick, and within an hour nothing was left but the walls. The fire was first discovered in the prinfary department on the first floor, near the tines, which txt Glided from basement to roof, through the centre of the building. In ten minutes the flames running up along the side flues had burst out in evey room. Owiug to the unexampled discipline and presence of mind, the children were marshaled down the winding stairways in regular order, two at a time, and not one was injured. The-teachers were all women, and thev receive tho praises of the whole com­ munity. Three minutes after the prin­ cipal left the halls, she being last to leave, the whole building was in ll ames."
