THE Ladles Aid Society of Ringwood will bold a Bazaar and Oyster Supper, for the benefit of the Methodist Church, on Friday evening December 2lst.-- The public are cordially invited. ABOUT four hundred pounds of fish the first catch through the ice this season, was sold in this village en 3Ie»day. They were mostly Pickerel and VTall-eyed Pike. OUK readers iu Woodstock and' vicinity, who are in search of Holiday Goods should re >*d the advertisement of the Red Front Drug Store,to be found:!ii this paper. THK weather has taken another change, and w6 are now enjoying moderate Indian Summer like weather. The roads are getting a little soft but we are iu hopes the bottom will not again fall out. WR would direct the attention of our readers to the new advertisement of the Fox Rifrer Valley Mills, to bo found elsewhere. Mr. Bishop is sparing no pains or Expense to make these popu­ lar Mills meet the wants of its patrons. * THE finest car load of hogs ever shipped over this road, passed this Station on Friday last. They were forty In number and weighed 19,000 pounds. One hog weighed 720 pounds. The^ were shipped hy Geo. Eldredge •f Richmond. A GENTLEMAN informs us that a lady from the country came Into his f>lace of business the other day and told him that she had seen his Invitation in the paper to come and examine his. stock •f goods, and she was there for that purpose, although, she added, Mr. So- and-so, "has a board on our barn with his name painted on it. but I like to trade with those who patronize my pa­ per." And by the way this lady takes the PLA.INDEA.LER. WHILE coming from Elgin, the other day we had the pleasure of meeting J. A. Sherwoei, of Algonquin, who is so widely known as one of the bfest Auctioneers in the State. Me is not only a good Auctioneer but a genial, whole-souled gentleman, who takes the world as he finds it, always pleasant and companionable. If any of our readers contemplate having an Auction we advise them to secure his service. What he can't sell is not worth selling. WE would again remind onr readers of the New Year's Party, to be held at the Riverside House, in this village, on Thursday evening, Jan. 1st* Mine host Wightman Is sparing no pains or expense to make this one of the most pleasant and enjoyable parties ever held iu McHenry, and with his splendid large Hall and other facilities, we have no doubt he will succeed. The dancing public who attend can feel assured of a good time. THE Good Templers of this village are rehearsing for their Play, which they propose to bring out on Christ­ mas'night, at tiie Riverside Hall. "The Last Loaf' to be followed by the Far^e of the "Persecuted Dutchman." are the Plays chosen, and we have no doubt will be well rendered on that occasion. We shall next week give the cast of characters iu full. Look out for their Programme^ which will be issued in a few days. THE tickets for the Ne* Yeai*s Party at the Parker House have been issued, and inform the public that January 1st Is the day, and that Rogers & Gillit's Geneva Luke Band will furnish the Music. As we have before said, this is one of the best Bands in the Northwest. The stentoriau voice of "Mort*' Rogers can be heard in any part of the Hall as plainly as near the stand. Those who attend will find Parker, as usual, ready to give you tin best the house affords, and always look smiling. Miss EMILIE GAVIN, of Chicago, is announced to give one of her popular Dramatic Readings, at the Universal­ ist Church, in this village, on Sat'irday evening next. Dec. 15th. Miss Gavin uomes hijfhly • recommended by both the public and the press, is a pupil of Prof. Lyman of Chicago, and is with­ out douht oue of the finest readers on the Stage. The programme for the evening is an excellent one, and those of our citizens who fall to atteud will iniss a rare literary treat. Remember the day and date, Saturday next, December 15th. We bespeak for Miss Gavin a full house. A ROTARY sausage cutter forms a part of the machinery ofone of the New York printing offices. It has been sugr gested that when the sausage business becomes a trifle dull, that the cutter be kept in working order by running a de­ linquent subscriber or two through it. WE hear a rumor that the Ladies of the Universalist Society, with the as­ sistance of Prof. R. D» Scott, propose to bring out again this winter the Cantata of "Esjher,*' the proceeds to be used for thovbenefi't of the Church.-- We hope this may prove correct. THE Baptist Society of Crystal Lake will glye an Oyster and Ice Cream Supper at the Nutida Hall, on Friday evening, Dec. 14th, for the purpose of paying a remaining debt on the organ. No pains will be spared to make it an enjoyable affair. Ail are cordially in- vited. COMMITTEE. AN exchange say6, and which Is, we think, equally applicable to our own case, that banks may "bust" and "go up*1 but we defy them to ge t any of our money to sour with. We deposit •ur spare change with our delinquent subscribers, and none of them will ever go up. . JUST as we were going to press we received a new advertisement for P. D. Smith, and as it is too late for in­ sertion this week, we ask our readers to call and examine his splendid stock •f Goods, which he is selling at Bed jgock and below. Look out for the HOW advertisement and price list next * week. - NOTHING will learn your children to read so quickly hr Improve their minds so rapidly as to furnish them with their home paper.

Our Monday night and tMKltf morn­ ing rumors were quite freely circula­ ting in this section of the failure of the First National Bank of Woodstock, and while we did not believe It, we thought best to get at the truth from headquarters, and prevent a false im­ pression going farther. We conse­ quently telegraphed the rumors to the Bank and asked for authority to con­ tradict, when wo received the follow­ ing reply: Rumor not worthy of attentfen. We are as sound as the United States Gov­ ernment . J u H S J. MUttPHY. Why and by' whom these steriis were started we know not, but thia_jve do believe there is no sounder Banking institution in the West than the First National of Woodstock, and all stories as to its financial weakness are pure fabrications and manufactured out of whole cloth. Any mau who will will­ fully start such a story about a public institution of this kind, in such times as these iu particular, deserves a term of ten years In State's Prison, to Say the least. If printers were ever so for­ tunate as to hav^any iiiouey we should ask for no safer depository than the First National Bank. Time of Train, at Crystal Lake. WISCONSIN DIVISION.

TIIE Fair and Festival, held by-the Ladies of the Universalist Society, at Riverside Hall on Thursday evening last, was a decided success In every particular. The Hall was well filled with both old and young, who seemed to enjoy themselves in the best of manner. The Supper was A. No 1, and reflected great credit on the Ladles who had the matter in charge. The receipts of the evening was something over $50. This, when we take into consideration the condition of the roads was good. We understand the Ladies will get, up other entertain­ ments during the winter. WE would again call the attention:of our readers to the notices of J. S Medlar, Piiotographer. Woodstock, to be found elsewhere in this paper. Those who contemplate getting pic­ tures for the Holidays; (and what more appropriate Gift could one present to a friend,) now is the time te do it, and not wait until the eleventh hour. Med­ lar can take you a Picture in any style you wish, and when he has finished it you will be sure of having something of which you 3an feel proud. He also has a choice stock of Albums, Wall Brackets, Picture Frames, Ac., which he is selling as low as the lowest. In short there is nothing in the Photo­ graph or Picture line but what you can flud at Medians. Read his notices. SPELLING.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:--Last week members of the different churches met at the Court House lor the purpose of organizing an Aid Society, having for its object the extending of assistance to those poor people who would not ap­ ply to the public authorities when in need. The scarcity of employment for the poor, makes it evident that the good members will have a wide field for the operations of their benevolent instincts during the winter, as there are. doubtless, many who find it im­ possible to obtaiu the necessnries of life. Of those charitable workers it may be said: "Think not, tiie good, The gentle deeds of mercy thon haat done, Shall die forgotten all, the poor, The fatherless, the friendles*and the widow Who daily own the bounty of thy hand. Shall cry to heaven and pull a bleating on theo." The second term of our Public School commenced last week. Everything has been satisfactory these last three months. Many non-resident pupils are now attending aud we hope the number will increase. The principal was, unexpectedly, called away last Friday, on account of the death of his mother. Last week a change was made in one of the rooms, Mrs. liibbard resigning her position as teacher, her place being filled by Miss Florence Sessions. There was a Candy Pull at Ihe Con­ gregational church Thursday evening of last week, there being about forty persons prose lit. Many entered into the spirit of enjoyment and toofc share of the delicious molasses, which they pulled with a will. Clirintinas is' fast approachiug and many have commenced preparations for that day. Mr*r Todd is uow busily employed iu drilling the children of the Presbytedan Suuday Schow]. Our Jewelers. M. Sherman, iu Mur­ phy's bleck, and Blossom on the South side, exhibit au assortment of goods for presents enough to make old Sauta Claus envious. Jwhuuie Donnelly is certainly enti­ tled to the distinction of being called the champion Buggy Smasher of Woodstock. Returning last Sunday to his home from Crystal Lake, where he had conveyed his sister, who is engaged therein teaching school, when near Owen Marion's, about three miles South of this place, the axle of his bug­ gy broke, Johnnie was thrown out and the horse he was driving (a high-spiri­ ted animal) started to run, Johnnie held on but a short time, belug dragged aver the rough road. Inven­ tory of results: An arm and shoulder badly bruised and torn, and buggy di­ vided into twenty-five pieces, and a harness scattered at various intervals between the place of accident and the horses stable. Some of your people may possibly remember how skillfully Johnnie overturned a buggy infrout of the Riverside House la?t summer. NORAU BULL. %_ 1 DON'T fail to go to Mrs. S.

Mr. Mallory assures me it has been published every week but he does not Send it to delinquents, hence my mistake. A. C. Dixon promised that he would talk to the Young Men at their regular temperance meeting to-niglitbut lie was obliged to go away aud leave the promise unfulfilled. Many people will bto disappointed to-night (Monday) but they will forget it when they hear hi* explanation, as they probably will very soon. Mr Dixon lectured to a good audience eu last Thursday and everyone seems glad to speak their high appreciation of his talent and their .admiration of his earnestuess. His lectures are in great demand all the way hetweeu here and his home. Vermont. The work of Temperance goes for­ ward betokeuing an unflagiug interest felt by its supporters. At the meet­ ing of the Ladies Temperance Union on Friday evening oue of th* members of the Town Board made a report of proceedings which had been taken against the Saloon here. The Presi­ dent, of the Board had been ordered to prosteute the saloen keeper for the ofteitces of selling liquor to drunkards aud uliuors; but upon a frank acknowl­ edgement aud promises of correct iiuutsgement .-thf saloon-keeper was allowed to retain his license, antl the matter was "Laid on the table." At atiy time it can be takeu up and pro­ ceeded with from the point where it was, dropped. Note that: A Board of Trnstees working in such harmony and sympathy with the Temperance Soci £ty--HLadles Society at chat! Surely the'prospects of our towu are good. The Barrington Society was represent ed by a Mrs. Parker who gave a good select Reading. The next meeting wiU be hold Flfl weeks frotn last Friday evening. The Y. M. C. T.

They do all they can to en­ tertain their visitors who, It is hoped will patrouize them wel^ .. .,Awi4^, PETERSON'S MAGAZINE for January is the most superb number ever issued of that popular lady's book. , There are two steel engravings "Cupid iu the Rain," aud "Borrowed Plumes,*' the latter a little **tot" ot throe years old dressed iu her mother's shawl and bon­ net, oue of the ^prettiest pictures we have almost ever seen. Besides these, there is a double-size Paris fashion plate, elegantly colored, a picture in itself; and also two very beautiful colored patterns for working ornamen­ tal table cloths aud crewel: The latter an establishment alone as expensive as s chromo. In al l there are about f i f ty engravings in the number, counting the wood engravings. The stories are original aud by such writers as Mrs Auu S. Stephens, Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett,Mrs. R, Harding Davls^ Frank Lee Beuedict, "Jesiah Allen's Wife," that new and popular writer, a galaxy that no other lady's book can show.-- With this number appears, as a Mip- plement, a fuU-*Lze diagram pattern for a Coat-Bodice for a lndy, the last thing in fashion. This alone is worth 4iie prioe of the number. "Peterson" claims to combine more than any other monthly, being a magaziue not only of literature, but of art and fashion also. The price is astonishingly, low, viz: two dollars a copy, for one year, postage paid. To clubs it is lower still, viz: five copies for 98.00, or seven for #10.50, with an extra copy for get* ring up the club, all postage free.-- Specimens are sent gratis, toget up clubs. Everybody ought to take "Peterson" for 1878. Address CHAS. J. PETERSON, 306 Chestnut Street, adelphia. Pa. HOUSE TO RENT. Inquire of L. Bonslett, Molffufur^ W.

The Baptist Chnroh is to have a Christmas Tree and it seems to us that all the churches should help and make it a snocess, but some of the M. E.

Wo hep® better feelings will exist hereafter, and thou they will set a better example before the worlds people. It is a sin for one to not know as much as the law allows, but it is a big­ ger sin to know more than the law allows. We have one of these knowing ones In Richmond and it is too bad that so much brains should be wasted iu one man. We would advise Mm to get his head hooped for fear he will have an enlargement of the head and it will bust. Then he will be no more and what will Richmond and society do, for there is no other that can take his place that we know of.
