His stock af Furniture is complete, and "Quick sales and small profits" is his motto. THK "beautiful snow" still keeps cotnfag, an addition being made to our nlready sufficient supply, almost every day. There is now more snow on the ground than at any time this Winter. A. R.

THE Fair and Festival at Riverside Hall on Thursday evening is for the purpose of raising funds to repair the Universalist Church. The object is a most praiseworthy one and no our should fall'to attend. FAIK AND FESTIVAL. The Ladies of the Universalist Socie­ ty will hold a Fair and Festival at Riverside Hall, in this village, on Thursday evening of this week, the 22d, the proceeds of which will be used for repairing and putting in order the Church. No admission fee to the Hall will be charged, but tables will be spread so that persons can get a food square meal or a lunch at they see fit, at a mere nominal price. The ladies are also preparing articles which will be offered for sale, and other amuse­ ments will be introduced, such as "Grab Bags,' 'PostOffice," Ac. The object of the Ladies is to give an even­ ing of real social enjoyment, and at the same time make a little to help fit up the Church in a manner that will be an honor to the Society and our village. The object is a worthy one, and we trust our readers within reasonable distance of McHenry, will turn out and by their presence aid in making it a substantial benefit. We will guaran­ tee a pleasant time to all who attend. Remember the date. Thursday evening of this week, the 22d,at Riverside Hall. Good music will be in attendance for those who wish to "trip the light fan­ tastic toe." EVERYBODY come to town next Sat­ urday and see the pure bred imported Clydesdale Stallion.

Democrat, just issued at Woodstock, by A. R. Bradbury, is before us. 11 is an eight column folio, and prsents a neat aud tasty appearance. From his Salutory we learn that he is to publish a strictly Democratic paper, and consequently we shall have no trouble hereafur to know where he stands politically. We cer­ tainly wish him success iu this new en­ terprise. THE Sociable and Mush and Milk Festival at the Riverside House on Wednesday evening last was attended by about one hundred persons, who seemed to enjoy themselves to the full­ est extent, both in eating mush and milk and in social chat, music. &e. The landlord. Mr. Goist. did all iu his power te make it pleasant for all, and succeeded se well that it was decided to hold a Fair and Festival at the same place on Thursday evening of this week, a notice of which ca:i be found elsewhere.

OUR old friend, John Reichelt who represents the firm of Srlz & Co., Boot and Shoe dealers, Chicago, paid our city a visit on Friday last and before he departed made the purchase (so he in­ formed us by letter.) of a very line " White Owl." Owing to some misun­ derstanding we failed to see it, but as several of our citizens did see it we are willing to take their word that is, was a very fine one of the kind. It is represented as having a very broad, open countenance, and if our friend John does not succeed iu "taminy if' it will be a great pity. His great anxie­ ty to purchase it and have it shipped, proves conclusively that suelr"Birds"1 are scarce in Chicago. If this don't the bill come again John, and we will see what can be done.

EDITOR PHIXDEALER:--The white manrle that covers the ground is the emblem of purity it is said, but at this time of year the most ef us'would be willing to dispense with the em­ blem unless it can be taken in entailer doses. The almanac informs us that thU is the first mouth of spring, but "Montgomery's woodchuck" was not consulted in the preparation of the calendar this year and like- the politi­ cal horizon the weather appears to be in a somewhat confused state. The McHenry County Democrat made its appearance last Friday after­ noon. it is an eight-column folio in Chicago store clothes, but its editor doesn't relish the "Elders" advice', re­ turning his compliment with some­ thing very like "yonr'e another." In a column and a half he tries to announce his "political sentiments," and its as true as it is awful that after Wading through that leader three times I have been unable to make much "sentiments" out of it except a general disclaimer of what the Republicans have done by the help of the Democrats. If one cannot (logically) define a word by telling what it does not signify, it seems ob­ vious that Mr. Bradbury, in telling what he does not. believe has not told us what he does believe. Last Thursday evening the Dime Lecture of E. E. Richards Esq., was listened to by the usual audience, and although his subject, "Law Breakers and Law Makers" was a dry one, he managed to make his three-quarters of an hour interesting, Mr. Richards is a good reader/much better than the lady wlio proceeded him, notwithstanding the New Era dubs her an adept, which shows that it did not know the mean­ ing of the word or means to tickle every one with his little straw, utterly regardless of the tiulh--till his straw breaks. Jeff bought of Mark Cooler last week two cinnamon colored pups, but Ira put up the job on him. The pickle men are in a pickle them­ selves regarding the manner of cann­ ing on the Factory tiiis season, the probability being that the growers will lease the building of the Directors at a certain price per bushel. The new Director iu place of E. M. Lamb is J. C. Choatc. The Phoenix Mill is crowded nijrht (!' D and day, doing more business than ever. Blossom moved into his new store last Monday and having completely overhauled the interior has a much bet­ ter place than before because so much larger. The Methodist Church, for the past two weeks has been kept warm by a. sort of hot-house revival, or rather an attempt at one, meetings having been held there every evening. -M* The ea«t part of the town having been doing a surprizing business the past winter played it nft on the "Gov­ ernor" last Monday night upon which occasion the'Gov." being "quite well thank you" and in the habit of taking in little contrihuti«ns around the square, in the way of business, passed up ills book (plate) the second time for that pressed chicken/ That he was around as usual the next day is sufficient proof that he survived the attack. The committee has gone behind the returns to see who shall be the next victim but has not yet reported, to Squekks. GREENWOOD EDITOR PLAIXI>KALEF :--Evolution, is the primary, fundamental and ruling element of matter and.mind. The tran­ sition or change of material tilings though constant and great is only sur­ passed by the transition of the mind of uian. who from a love of excite­ ment or force of habit, constantly seeks % change. We see this daily, yes hourly, iterated. To-day he is buoy­ ant over bright hopes and fair pros­ pects; to-morrow tliey are gone. To­ day perchance it may be he mourns the loss of some near friend or companion, to-morrow, his sorrow has tied, aud he passes t6 the Hymenial Alter, full of joy and brightness; his sun has set and risen again. On Wednesday last, by the Rev. By­ ron Alden at his resideuce, an evolu­ tion of quite an important nature trans­ pired. Mrs. Mary Baker eldest daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Stevens becom­ ing the happy bride of Mr. John Mans­ field. whose son it will be remembered a few weeks since married the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stevens. *kThe Greenwood Mutual Protection Association" (horse owners) will meet at the Hall over J. J, Philbrick's store on Wednesday evening April 4th, 1877. A full attendance of all the members re" quested. The pulpit of the Baptist Church of this place was occupied last Sunday by Mrs. Swift of Chicago She presented very eloquently the needs and claims of the Baptist Theological Society of said city. About fourteen dollars were collected at the close of the services. The legal voters of the town of Greenwood are requested to meet at the Hall over the Post Office, on Satur­ day March 31 at 2 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of putting in nomination per­ sons to fill the various offices of the Town to be voted for at the coming Town meeting. By order of Town Com mittee. J, M. Garrison formerly connected with Thompson & Son, has taken the Butter and Cheese Factory at Barrin ton 111, NUNDA. EDITOR PLAINDEALER -The past week has been one of almost continual suow storm, and our streets aud side­ walks almost blockaded with the drift, ing snow. The fond anticipation of the Partners of anearly spring, have quiet­ ly fluttered away amid the driving storms and abundant snows of the past week, while the low temperature of the weather caused an active demand for wood that is difficult to supply. The Political questions that have so long been the particular theme of discussion ate now numbered among the things of the past and the policy and purpose of I resident Hayes, almost universally approved and* commended. Religious questions are engrossing the attention of many of our citizens at the present time aud we hear of several conversions that were brought about by the Elo­ quence of Elder Wiley in his Meetings near Barreville, we do most heartily say "Let the good work go on." The Maple Sugar Festival, held at Nunda Hall on the Evening of March 10 inst., for the benefit, or under aus­ pices of the Baptist Church, was not really a financial success after defraying the expenses, but Socialy/ it was an agreeable entertainment. Between thirty and Forty dollars were realized in all, but the social links that evergive se much power and permanency to any society were made bright and strong by the entertainment.'.' Mr. Hall's residence was broken open Friday evening last while they were absent at the Festival and a valuable gold watch belongiug to Mrs. Hall, and some beautiful sets of Silver were taken. Entrance was gained by prying up a rear window aud knowing that Mr. aud Mrs. Hall would be absent during the eveuiug the rascals took all the time necessary to thoroughly ran­ sack the house. No clue tf> the perpe­ trators of the theft has been obtained up to the present writing, Arrangements are now completed for our Public School entertainments for Thursday and Friday evening's March 22 and23 inst., Thursday evening the play called "Odds with the Enemy" will be brought out and the exercises of the evening concluded by singing the piece call "We'll have to Mortgage the 11 arm." Growers Hall has been secured hence there will be ample room for all who see fit to attend. Friday evening will be devoted to the general exercis­ es of the exhibition when the juveniles of Nunda may be expected to astonish the Natives with their eloquence. Bev. B. F. Rogers of Dixon 111., spoke to the citizens of this vicinity Saturday evening last aud Sunday at 2 oclcck and evening, in Nunda Hall, to a large and appreciative audience. Ilo held the undivided attentiou of his hearers while speaking and his remarks were well received. We hope he may favor us again, at no very distant day, as the liberalit}' of his ideas commend them­ selves to our understanding. The time for the annual Town mee­ ting aud corporation Election will soon bu here, and,strange to say we have not seen any one yet looking for town honors. We hope such aspirants will not be alarmed from any decisions of the Electorial Commission but utep to the front and allow themselves to be interviewed in the interests of the town. At the present time when busi­ ness is dt 11, money scarce aud our wants numerous, wc want some generous soul that will attend to the wauts of all those who dislike labor aud have not a competaucc to fall on, for super­ vision. Such a man may stand a good chance of being elected and for Assessor no one should present themselves unless they are satisfied they can make an assessment that will satisfy the whole town. Who is the man? A fine let of plows may be found at the ware rooms of J. P. Beardsley & Co. All those iu want of such articles will do well to give them a call as they are bound to satisfy even a Granger. Remember the Fifty cent liopat Nun­ da Hall Weuesdav eveuiug March 21. TYRO.

Two of Mr. Hyatt's boarders (board bill unpaid) left for church yesterday p. in.,aud have not yet returned. Has anyone seen 'em? Mr. Hyatt don't care, he is quite accustomed to it, and if there is any truth in signs, this man and his wife were two. The number of tramps on the road is astonishing. They confine themselves chiefly to the raiload in their perambu* lations, using it iu lieu of a compass. The deep snow has shown tliem up at our place this week iu full force when they become a dirty aud dangerous ac­ cumulation. There was something in the quality of St. Patrick's day that fired Tem Tiffany with a mania for slapping mouths, and a dislike for any interfer- ance. Mr. Marlow correctly resisted such altogether-too-familiar manifesta­ tions probably because he did not have due respect for The Day. His poker was literally "too thin" to do much ex­ ecution but had a great deal more ef­ fect than the constable, ropes and a call ou the crowd. Tom is still at liberty and no very daugertms character either, notwithstanding hi« late triumph. Call at the Fine Art Gallery of L. S.

We dou't think we will be backed down by any cheek he can give us. He says "we cannot discover the size of his boots or the color of liU hair." We know the color of his hair and the size of his Mots. He says "he seems to misinterpret the spirit in which we wrote." Advice is for those who will take it. If we had given him the advice he attempted to give us, in would have been non-appropriate. He says "there are some persons who seem to have a mission to fulfill, aud that to be ever finding fault with oyerybedy, and everything, always standing ready to throw cold water upon every enter­ prise. Such missionaries could easily be dispensed with, while there are those who have a fondness for criticism. Such persons are of real value in the world." We were not aware that we ever found fault or threw cold water on any enter­ prise or business of others aud we know he has.
