WE have had a variety of weather tho past week. Wind from the North­ east, rain, hail and snow. It is an old •aying that a cold wet May is good for wheat and hay, but then we would like to inquire if it could not as well be done in some more pleasant way. Our Ulster is almost worn out, our gloves •re lost, arid if this thing keeps on-- "what will poor robin do ?"

THURSDAY last wai a gala day among our German friends, the occasion being the marriage of Henry Stilling and Miss Kennebeck. The ceremony took place at the Church in Johnsburg in the fore­ noon, and in the afternoon friends to the number of 150 assembled at the res­ idence of Mr. Stilling to congratulate the happy oouple, and bid them God speed on the journey of life. Owing to sickness we were unable to be present, but from those who were there we learn that it was a highly enjoyable time. The McHenry Baud were out in full force and discoursed some of their best music. The repast furnished was am­ ple for the Urge crowd, and old and young enjoyed themselves to their ut­ most. That tlm newly wedded pair may live long and prosper is our earnest wish.

EDITOR PLAIXDEALKR'The young and old of our amusement seekers have been indulging in the highly [actuating and exciting? game of Quoits, or "Pitching Horse Shoes." This Is an appropriate game for those who love to hang on to "the good old way." and those who cannot leave the Immediate vicinity of their place of business, but when played in front of store doors and on the main streets it always shows to the stranger a "One Horse Town." However this may be, it better becomes American boys to be seen engaged in a modern American game. Base Ball will take the field this year the object of unabated interest, and Nunda should be looking around among its Players for a Nine, and uot be be­ hind neighboring towus of less preten­ sions in this respect. Move* I. M. Mallory has the latest thing out in the card line, it being a neat visiting card with your name, and atone end of the card your Photograph. They are very inexpensive, costing 75 cents per dozen. The meeting of the Literary Societv on Friday evening met with intended generous patronage, and would have beeu well attended but for some mis­ understanding in the preparations Of the room, in consequence of which an unlllumined house alone greeted each arrival. Persons returned to their homes as soon as they discovered that the house was not lighted at the hour to open the meeting. Notwithstand­ ing the large umnber who turued away a respectable quorum entered but con­ cluded to postpone the organization until Thursday eveulng. May 24th, and promise the people a better reception ou that evening. A sufficient number was seen on Friday, to warrant us In saying that the business will be started very auspicious]}' and will gain a foot­ hold during the Summer that will place It among the neighboring Societies without a superior. Our City Fathers met on Tuesday evening for the purpose of acting on matters pertaiuing to the Interest and general welfare of our people. Those who have taken seats at the Common Counsel table are the same as elected with the exceptlou of G. R. Hyatt, who for good and sufficient reasons, knowu to hi;nself, refused to qualify. Messrs. St. Clair. Horn, Butler, and Philp graced the thither side of the houored table, vis a vis with M. F. Ells­ worth--Mr. President--and his right hand man. George Vermilyea. Clerk.-- The things considered were the ap- poiuttiieuts of City OlBeeia an*] the re­ peal of the Prohibitory Ordinance. As the result of their deliberations the following officers were appointed: E. Beckley, Treasurer. Bond fixed at #1000. L. Benrhuysen, Police Consta­ ble. Bond f2,000. L. D. Lincoln, Street Commissioner, with Bond a; 9200.-- There is some speeulatioH as to the reason for placing the Constable's Bpnd at a higher figure than the Treasurer's, and seine doubt has been expressed as to the propriety of this, but It, as well as the other two, was considered sep­ arately and the amonnt placed, not iu respect to the others, but as the respon­ sibility of the office seemed to require. This is the most operose position at­ tainable by any appointee of the Boardf but probably Mr. Benthuysen is the right man in the right place, and it is hoped that the great desire of the Temperauce people, in addition to his own sense of right, may influence him every time to an inflexible performance of his duties in furtherance of the Ordinances which will be promulgated onsomfl date after April 30th. A vote was taken on the repeal of the old Prohibitory Ordinance which was as follows: Ayes--Butler* Philp and Morn. Noes--St. Clair. A reading of the Ordinance in use or formerly used in Woodstock was attempted, but on ac­ count of pressing business engage­ ments of certain members the meet­ ing was summarily adjourned until Monday, April 30th. I have hewrd it said that a person ex­ periences au atcful sensation when he sees another "feller" walk off home with his girl Then I presume this feeling is more thau doubled in inten­ sity when Two fellows see One young gent making ott with both of their girls. "But the unwearying eye ol re­ venge will discover a chance for retal­ iation if ever in the life of a Dry Goods merchant it becomes part of his duty to walk a lonely road ou a stormy night.

MA FOIS. ,, All Whom it May Concern, As a number of bills have been pre­ sented to me against the Town of Mc­ Henry tor payment which have not beeu authorized by me, ill persons are respectfully notified that no bills against the Town will be paid by me which I have not contracted or which may net be allowed by the Town Au­ ditors at their regular meetings. Phy­ sicians will please make a note of thh. And in this connection let me say while I know the tax payers of the Town ef McHenry are more than wlll- ing. yes, demand that I should prompt­ ly relieve the unfortunate distressed worthy poor of the town, yet such as have no sympathy lor themselves, but will persist in spending their time In Idleness and their last penny^for whis­ ky or beer, rather than bread and cloth­ ing for themselves and families, have no claim upon the sympathies of the 'lown and must not be vain enough to hope to awaken my sympathies in their beh«!f to the extent of relieving their hunger and covering their nakedness with the monies appropriated for the relief of, the poor by those who through industry and economy form the tax paying portiou of our Town. All who through idleness or intem­ perate habits have brought themselves to utter destitution and are iu a suffer­ ing condition will be furnished a tem­ porary home, and such as are able, an opportunity to work, by applying to me at Riugwood. ** Very Respectfully Submitted J.

The persperatlen of mother Earth, as she labors to bring forth her burden of susteuance to supply our dai­ ly wants. The bus)' season has now commenced in earnest, and the attention of nearly all in this section is directed to mat­ ters of a personal Interest to them­ selves. consequently the supply of news, or ne\v*8 gossip, Is rather meagre, noth­ ing of importance having transpired since our last writing. Ou Sunday, the 22d. the ordinance of baptism was administered to two can­ didates, by the Rev. Mr. Cox, Mr. C. H. Bligh and a young man in his employ. His companion, Mrs. Bligh was to have been baptised with liiin but on account of quite a severe and what came near proving a fatal accident happening her on Saturday raorniug.wns unable to do so. As we learn the circumstances of the case, she had accompanied her hus­ band to the baru for the purpose of assisting about the milking, when she was suddeuly attacked by a vicious cow tossed in the air, striking the ground with great force, receiving many severe and painful bruises from which she is still suffering. Tree digging is going on lively at the Nursery of Garrison Bros., and many are availing themselves of the very low prices for which they are selling. Their stock is complete in both fruit and ornamental trees, hav­ ing some of the finest Richmond Cher­ ries grown In the State. They propose to furnish the "Utah Hybred Cluster Cherry," at a much rcduced price from what many have paid of late. First class trees, 3 to 5 feet at 25 cents each. Mr. Toles puts his forces at work this present week repairing his Mill Dam. We noticed on our streets ene day last week, a youug man from the neigh­ boring town of Hebron, with a very hard name (though of good repute) making inquiry for finishing nails. Will your Hebron correspondent please keep an eye on that young man, and ascer­ tain what he is building. We conclude he found the nails, as he was seen leav­ ing town in the direction of home with one of our young ladies. Its better for you to face the music when you go to a neighboring town to play croquet and not try to hide behind those tall ever­ greens for fear your friends will know you.
