Prof. Cum nock is one of the finest Readers in the West, and our neighbors of Wood­ stock will certainly have a rare literary treat. WE learn that a negro named Sam Hill, who lives near Nunda. committed a rape upon his step-daughter, a girl 17 years of age^ a dajr or two since, lie was taken before Esquire Pettibone on Tuesday and bound over to Court in the sum of 8500.

OUR enterprising Jeweler, O. W. Owen, has just received, at his store, the finest Stock ol Silver and Plated Ware ever brought to this town, being of the latest patterns, and very neat and ta.<:y.

THE opening Party at the Riverside Houseon Monday was attended by about Seventy couples, who enjoyed them­ selves until the "we sma hours*' in the best of manner, and went hoiut? voting it a success in every particular. The supper was excellent, the inusicgrand and the the new proprieter left noth­ ing undone to make it pleasant for his guests. Our citizens turned out very generally, but the crowd from the coun­ try was not as large as was expected. Old '"Hard Times" we suppose was the But nevertheless all had a good time, and went home well pleased with the opening Party at the Riverside. • WE had intended to give a report this week of the Spring meeting of the "Gagetown Jockey Club," but a pres« of other matters has prevented us from doing so. Suffice to say the races have been largely Attended and exciting iu the extreme.

"Flying Dutchman, by Sourkraut. he by Cabbage, by Bologna Sausage, by Lager Beer. Dam Garlic.*' "Nunda, lie by Crystal Lake, by the 95th Ill.Vwl. Dam Manhoff."

C RE EN WOOD EDITOR PLAINDEALEK:--We have done it!--just as is ilways the case when we attempt to do or say some­ thing nice for our friends, some one steps iu and misinterprets our motives aid puts a wrong construction upon what we refused to say anything about But nevertheless they tell us, that In our attempt to keep still, (which Is un­ natural) we have tread upon the ^ad­ jective" of the cat with our big feet, and he "yowls" fearfully. To bad! we meant no harm to any one, but thus do we always suffer from foes without «nd fun within.

EUITOR PLAINDEALKR:--The great Political problem has been solved, and the American people have much rea­ son to rejoice; not simply because the Republican candidate has been elected or that the Democratic nominee has been defeated, but because Constitu­ tional Law has been vlndicted, because freedom has triumphed over oppres­ sion and right and justice prevailed over lawlessness and disorder. Besides precedents have been established, that will be valuable beacon lights in all fu­ ture time. The glad tidings was re­ ceived by many of our citizens with cheers and loud hurrahs, and Friday evening was made IT sonant with the sounds of exploding anvils and happy rejoicings.

Being late and iu a hurry last week with our items we did not have time to answer the item from the able pen of the Richmoud correspondent of the New Erf. Below we give the Item. He says: "The MeHenry /Yafnrieafcr lias a new contributor at tliis point who deals out a number of interesting locals each week. Evidently he is not a new hand at the business. If we are not altogeth­ er mistaken we have read items from his pen before. For reasons best known to himself he withholds his name. It may be real modesty in tlie fellow, or perhaps he does not wish to be classed with the Sentinel and New Era con­ tributors. One thing>ye, ?vauld advise •him, »ujKl *i*at is,, don't deal out lar^e quantit ies of soft-soap. The thing is largely overdone, and is making peo ,p}e sick. In reply to the above article we would say we know of no man that lias more soft soap iu his composition than the correspondent of the Era. He is full of it. There Is hardly a week passes but what he has more or less iu his column trying to make somebody feel good, but he often fails. Speak­ ing of modesty if we had the cheek that the Era correspondent has we would not say anything about modesty. But then cheek is necessarv iu his case. As for being classed with Sentinel and New Era contributors we dou't feel ourselves above them but it is our privilege to withhold onr name if we see fit. and if we act the part of a gen­ tleman, no one can Hud fault, aud to close we would say to the gentleman to stick strictly to his business and if he will pick the beam out of his own eye he wont see it so often in his neigh­ bors.
