THERE appears to be an epidemic that is carrying off the infants at a rapid rate. Three children, under six months old, were buried in this village last week. There is no particular dis­ ease only severe colds, which are so trying to children of that age. THE week after the Holidays is usu­ ally considered dull, but the firm of Smith A Snyder, ef this village, paid out last week for Produce a little over #5000. And they expect to do even better than that this week. In fact our merchants, one and all, report an unu­ sually good trade last week.

Look out for fun, BY invitation a large number of our citizens and their wives went over to the residence of Jehiel Compton, near Volo, on Friday evening last, to enjoy with him, his family and other invited friends, an evening of social chat and have a good time generally. And they were not disappointed in their expec­ tations. Although we were kept away by sickness, tho«e who did attend are unanimous in reporting one of the pleasantest times of the season. The large resideuce of Mr. Compton was open and at the service of his guests, and they all took advantage of his hos­ pitality to have a real social good time. -During the eveuing they were invited to a sumptuous repast, gotten up iu a style that reflected great credit upon Mr. C. and his estimable lady. In short nothing was left undone to make it pleasant for all, and that they succeed­ ed is evidenced by the expressions of pleasure heard on every hand. That Mr. Compton and his lady may live to have many more such pleasant and en­ joyable gatherings is the wish of yours truly. NOTICE.

One of Nature's finest exhibitions.-- the frost work seen last Saturday. The Public School began last Tuesday with a good attendance. A Singing School, conducted by J. H. Ward, of Elgin, is held here on Tuesday evening of each week. Rev. S. C. llay. who has been suffer­ ing severely for more than tour weeks from a sprained ankle, is improving slowly and was able to occupy his pul­ pit last Sunday. This week will be observed in this place as a "week of prayer." in conjuuc tion with other churches in the North­ west. Services held each evening in the Baptist Church. The Union Literary Society, which was to hold Its regular weekly meeting on Friday evening, postponed ou ac­ count of the week of Prayer.

LEO. cord WOODSTOCK. weal. EDITOR PLAIXDEALEH--Last Fri- ni£ht John Dufly who was board ^ing with Sheriff Stedman, concluded that he would take a change of base, as the Grand Jury would be likely to In­ dict him for forgery this week, in which case he slight get a free ride on the railroad to Joliet,so, While engaged in assisting the other eight boarders in getting their nights supply of fire Vvood irem the hall, he secreted him­ self iu the debtors room till the jail was locked for the night, when about 5 P. M., he started out for a walk. He was missed about half past six and re­ captured by the Sherifi about ten miles away. Notwithstanding his threats about not being taken by any live man, lie wilted when sighted by this officer and will stay with him till further or­ ders. The Seneca Literary Society held its regular meetiug at the residence of Mark Hickox, Esq.. last Saturday, at which time fifty persous beside his own family dined at his table. A compar­ ison of political opinions showed the Hayes men to be largely in the major­ ity but no one made any complaint of being intimidated and the afternoon Was passed as pleasantly as could be de­ sired. Miss Lou Hay nor takes the place in our Public School vacated by Mrs. Thomas; and that the Board has made a judicious selection is not deuced by any. My remarks week before last on the secession of the Dufield boys from the New Era oflliie, aroused the ire of "W. D.," to so great an extent that he whacks about right and left like a blind no an with a club. The Sentinel and PLAINDEALKR can take care of their own cases, but "Squeers" has a few more words to say about that con­ tract business. Ilis talk about a want of brains and respectability on the part of the one who he accuses of writing that short article in the Sentinel, reads more like the ravings of a mad school boy, than the talk of a full-grown man who prides himself upon his truthful­ ness and morality, more especially since the pefsoij referred to wrote not one word of this article, uor had ex­ changed a sii gle word upon the subject with the editor of tiie Sentinel. What makes it appearstlil more ridiculous is the fact that tills "One of the least re­ spectable of any man iu the county who makes any claims to that commodity called brains," ha* twice been employed by hitn iu au editorial capacity on the New Era; and three of his productions while so employed have been found worthy of republication in his weekly to-wit: "The Shadowy Art,", "The Weed in Woodstock," aud "Bunker Brothers." He goes on to say that he has always been able to pay his debts when due. If that is true, then is he dishonest, for he has not always done so as any one can find out by calling on Esq. Church or writing to Crystal Lake To coiivey a false impression by telliug part of the truth, or telliug the whole trut li in such a manner as to convey a false impression is an easy matter, es­ pecially for one with so nice a regard for truth, and as keen ascent for mor­ ality as one who can deliberately plan to take the advantage of two ignorant boys. ' Equally wise is he in the following: "We see by the Supervisors report that the cofluty has to euppor' old mail Crotchet," when the New JvVa has a bill in the same report for publishing pro­ ceedings of the Board, so the county has to support old man "Elder." Well, the money paid by the county for re­ porting was earned; the 'lnonfey paid for publishing the proceedings is not, for the reason that it is an item of news that the people want and will have, and the paper that would not publish such uews would have a limited circu­ lation in the county, even though the Board shall not pay for it. As to which is the more honorable, to be supported by the county or by two poor hard working boys, this much injured, truth- telliiigjnoralist is doubtless able to de­ termine for himself. As to his horror at our remarks upon that Christinas Tree, we care but little, making no pretentions to religion. Tenpins, Poker or Billiards, but ex­ pressing our opinions in our own way, without hypocricv, subject to the driv­ eling criticism of the New Era and the Constitution of the United States.

EDITOR PLAIXDEALER.--Christmas eve tiie ordiance of Baptism was ad­ ministered by our Pastor, Rev J. Wheeler, in the presence of an appreci­ ative audiance. Ou New Years eve the sacrament of Lords Supper was observed at "the little church around the corner." after the baud of fellowship had been extended to two new members who were admitted to the church. On New Years eve the Church was crowded with the good people of the Parish whucaine to examine the New Year's Tree erected in one portion of the chureh, which was loaded with nice presents for friends. The time was passed in listening to rhetorical ex­ ercises, the noble Oigan often respon­ ding to the sentiments, pronounced. Our Pastor, with others shared in the fruits of the New Year tree. Also his amiable companion received a pair pf costly Vases and a beautiful Portmonle containing Greenbacks aud Silver. Cox. I' CREENWOQO EDITOR PLAINDEALKR: --That em revolving wheel of time, upon whose Dial Face are registered as by magic, each fleeting moment which, in their consecutive course form the hours, days, months and years of our short, passing existence, refering us to the index finger of the hand of Old Father Time, which nnw stands pointing to the one thousand eight hundred and seventy-seventh tally since the com­ mencement of the Christian Era, re­ minding us as it again points to the space allotted to each generation, that we too are nearly recorded upc:; the list, that were. We congratulate eacO other upon the event of the incoming New Year, by a wish of peace, prosper­ ity and happiness, hut ere we are aware the old has passed and the new is again upou us; and as one by one we drop from I he ranks of action, our pla* ces are filled with others, and time rolls on. ,We stop for a moment to Jiake a retrospective, view of the past, we kruHv, what has been\ but when we turn and tr.ke a prospective view of the future, our imagination becomes bewildered and we are lost. Since our last communication one more has fallen from our ranks. Mrs. Watson, wife of.James Watson, who resides a short distance South of the village, died on Friday last, very sud­ denly. She was taken while sitting in her chair engaged In reading a letter and in a few moments breathed her last Although :in invalid for years her death came sudden and unexpected.-- Mrs. W. was highly esteemed by all who knew her. The fuueral services were held at the Church ou the hill on Sabbath last, conducted by the Rev. T. C. Northcot,assisted br the Revs. Al- den aud Whittier. The singing was condacted by J. C. Choate aud choir, unaccompauied by instrumental music, as the old mouse trap was as usual out of order. The funeral was largely at­ tended, the house being completely filled. The Literary Association on Friday evening last was well attended. An interesting and lively time may be looked for at the next meeting. Singing School on Saturday evening, arrangements having been made to that eftect and a Teacher eugaged, Mr. Caldwell of Michigan. The Greenwood Mutual Protection Association will meet at the Hall on Tuesday evening, January 23d, 1877. We notice posted up iu front of the residence of H. J. Wood "This Farm for Sale." This undoubtedly means that Wood is sick of farming and has some new project in view, as it is cer­ tainly not on account of having a poor farm. *' Black Hills" full of yellow gold Is reported to be the cause. He is an old miner and knows how 'tis done. We called a few days since at the Stock Farm of Geo. W. Hunt, and were shown by the gentlemanly proprietor, who always seemingly takes great pleasure iu showing his flue stock, of which he may justly feel a pride and satisfaction in knowing that they are not iu many respects exoelled by any in the State. We were shown two Span­ ish Merino Rams, which Mr. Hunt has just obtained from one of the first breeders in Vermont, which were very fine. His sales have been unusually large in both sheep and Swine, the latter of which he has some of the fin­ est specimens we ever saw. We were shown thirteen brood sows wc will ven­ ture to say cannot be surpassed. We have just learned that the only son of C. II. Tryon, "Bealy," died this (Monday) morning. EVEN. Farmers Read This -Agent* Wanted. PROL1FF1C WHITE FLOUR CORN PROI.IFFIC WHITE FLOUR CORN.--TH18 corn excels any other for bread and is best for stock. It ripens six weeks earlier than any other kind, and grows from 6 to 14 ears on a stalk. The important poiuts we claim for this »ew variety of corn are these: 1. One stalk of this eom bears from 6 to 14 ears; one hill with two stalks makes from 10 to 25 ears--producing from one acre of ground about three or four times as many bushels on the satue soil and with the same culture as common corn. 2. The corn is heavier in weight, has as large an ear, thinner husk, and makes corn meal, for family use, sweeter and more nutritious, and valuable for feed­ ing stock. 3. That it will gvovv and produce a profitable crop on ground where other corn will not grow to ma­ turity. 4. It ripens earlier and is not liable to be caught by frost. 5. The grains are large, pure and white, and an ordinary yield is from 80 to 100 bushels to the acre, on medium land. A fine quality of Flour can be made from it. A sample sack of the Corn containing 500 gralus with special terms to agents for it and other seeds will be sent by mail postage paid, on receipt of fifty cents.
