THURSDAY last was 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 couple, 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 Band were out In full force and discoursed some of their best music. The repast furnished was am­ ple for the large cro'.vd, and old ami young enjoyed themselves to their ut­ most. That tlm newly wedded pair may live long and prosper is our earnest wish. * . _'vi "The Fairbanks, of Chicft£o.wtt! |>1ay a match game of base ball with the Clip pers of this city, at the fair grounds, this Thursday afternoon, game to com­ mence at 1 o'clock sharp.

EDITOR PLAIXDEALER The young and old of our amusement seekers have been Indulging In the highly lacinatlng and exciting? game of Quoits, or "Pitching Horse Shoes." This Is an appropriate game for those who lo^ve 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 aroutunamong Its Players for a Nine, and not be be­ hind neighboring towusef less preten­ sions In this respect.

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 unillumined house alone greeted each arrival. Persons returned to their homes as soon as they discovered that th* house was not lighted at the hour to open the meeting. Notwithstand­ ing the large number who turned away a respectable quorum entered but con­ cluded to postpone the organization until Thursday evening. May 24th, and promise the people a better reception oil that evening. A sufficient number was seen on Friday to warrant us in saying that the business will be started very auspiciously 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 pertaining 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 exception of G. R. Hyatt, who for good and sufficient reasons, kuowu to himself, 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 Vertnilyea. Clerk.-- The things considered were the ap- poiutnients of City Office*# and the re­ peal of the Prohibitory Ordinance. As the result of their deliberations the following officers were appointed: E. Beekley, Treasurer. Bond fixed at $1000. L< Benthuysen, Police Consta­ ble. Bond $2,000. L. D. Lincoln,Street Commissioner, with Bond a; 0200.-- There Is some speculation as to the reason for placing the Constable's Bpnd at a higher figure than the Treasurer's, aud some doubt has been expressed as to tjie propriety of this, but it, as well as tlfe other two, was considered sep­ arately a"tf the amonnt placed, not in 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 Board but probably Mr. Benthuysen is the right man in the right place, and it is hoped that the great desire of the Temperance 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 on some, 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 th* Ordinance in use or formerly used In Woodstock was attempt^, but on ac­ count of pressing business engage­ ments of certain members the meet­ ing was summarily adjourned until Monday, April 30th. I have het»rd it said that a person ex­ periences an aw/u£ sensation when he sees another "feller" walk off home with his girl Then I presume this feeling is more than doubled In inten­ sity when Two fellows see One young gent making ott with both of their girls. "But the unwearying eye of re­ venge will discover a chance for retal­ iation if ever in the life of a Dry Goods merchant it becmnes part of his duty to walk a lonely road on a stormy night.

On 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 him but on account of quite a severe and what came near proving a fatal accident happening her on Saturday moruing.was unable to do so. As we learn the circumstances of the case, she had accompanied her hus­ band to the barn for th* purpos* of assisting about the milking, when she was suddenly 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.
