Seng and Chora*. 4th. Recitation. 1 * 5th. Music. The exercises will be held, as usual, at the Methodist Church, The Society would take this oppor­ tunity t® thank the M. E. Society for the courtesy extended to them in al­ lowing them to use the Church for their weekly meetings, and hope t;hat It may be in their power to reciprocate at uo distant day.' THE exercises at the Literary Society Meeting on Wednesday evening last were very interesting and attended by a good audience. The subject of de­ bate was well handled on both sides, and proved conclusively tbiat the^ younger portion of our Society are taking hold of the matter in earnest* and with a success seldom seen by new beginers. The exeraises for Saturday evening will be opened by an Ad­ dress by Rev. W. A. Adron, and we hope to see the house well filled an that occasion. PROF. S. N. TOWER, of whom we ppoice two weeks ago as visiting friends in tliis village, has been prevailed upon to remain and try and get up a Singing Class in this village. The matter is now being canvassed and if a sufficient number of scholars can be obtained a school will be opened at once. Prof. Tower is well known here as a first- class teacher in Singing, and we see no good reason why a large class cannot be formed. Let us all put our shoulder to the wheel and raise aclas; of one hun dred scholars for Prof. Tower. Sociable. Tho next Sociable by the Ladies of the Universalist Society will be held at the residence of J. B. Perry, Esq.on Thursday evening of next week, Jauua- ry 17th. All are cordially invited. C. B.

MINE host Wlghtman, of the River- aide House, will accept thanks for a pail •f very fine solid meat Oysters, pre­ sented us on Saturday last. In the words of Rip Van Winkle, *May you live long and brosper." WE are now having what might be called snug Winter weather.

OUR Street Commissioner has been <loing a good work on the road leading 'South from this village. During the late muddy weather it was almost im- passibly, but he has now covered it with* heavy coat of gravel, which wi 11 have the tendency to make it pas- aible again OUR readers in Rtagwood and vicinity should not forget the Dramatic entertainment, under the auspices of the Good Templars of Me Henry, which takes place in that village on Thurs day,.to-morrow, evening.

John THE Good Templars will repeat the Drama of -"The Last Loaf,'" together with the Farce of the "Persecuted Dutchman" and "Who Died Firtt," at the Riverside Hall, on Thursday even­ ing of next week, Jan. 17th. For particulars see colored bills now in circulation. Those of our citizens who railed to see it before should make arrangements to attend, and those who did will be sure to be there again. BY invitatiou, about forty couples of our town people assembled at the Riv erside Hall on Friday evening last, to Cnjov a few hours dance and pay their respects to the host and hostess of that popular Hotel. The -McHenry Quad­ rille Band were out in full force, and everybody having come out to have a good time, seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion, and a royal good time we did have. During'the even ing a table was spread in the Hall and all were invited to partake which they did to their entire satisfaction. Every thing was free, but before retiring the company "chipped in'v to the tune Of $16 or 618, thus paying the music and leaving a balance to the host for the trouble. The company broke up about midnight, well pleased with their eveuings entertainment. IT has been decided that the Grand Masquerade Ball, under the direction of the Geneva Lake Quadrille Baud, will take place at the Riverside Hall, in this village, on Friday evening February 8tli. This will be, without doubt, one of the grandest parties ever given in McHenry, and it need not'be an expensive one. The tickets will be put at a very low price, and each one can procure their own costume, repre­ sent what character he or she may choose, and make their costumes them­ selves. Masks will be furnished at from ten to twenty cents each. The Leader of the Band, Mort Rogers, in­ forms us that the Band will be compos­ ed of six pieces, and with this assurance we can guarantee those who attend as flue music as was ever heard in Mellen ry. The tickets-will be issued in a few days, wheu a full programme will be published. In the mean time make * our preparations to attend the Grand Masquerade. Remember the date, February 8rh. R. V.

He has also secured the services of a flrst class Horse Sheer, and can ac­ commodate you in this line on short notice and guarantee satisfaction. Mr. Thompson comes among us with the reputation of a thorough going busi- eess man, and this, with the excellent reputation of this old established stand we predict hfe will do a large and pay­ ing business, and be a good addition to the business interests of McHenry. Persons wanting anything in his line should not fail to give Mr. Thompson a call. HAVING- secured the services ot H. D. Holmes, we hereby notify our patrons that he is authorized to receive money in our name and receipt for the same.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER 'There was a Sociable ou New Years eve at the Congregational church that the numer­ ous friends of Rev. T. C. Northcott might enjoy the pleasure of spending one evening with him before his de­ parture. At midnight on New Years eve. bells were rung and pistols fired, awakening many from their peaceful slumbers and removing the drowsy ' feeling from the eyes of those who did not re­ tire uutil after twelve, that thoy might bid farewell to the Old Year and welcome in the New. The sun shone brightly New Year's morning and luckily it did not rain. Service was held at the Catholic church both afternoon and evening. The eve­ ning services were very interesting. At 7 o'clock Vesper commenced after which Father Leydou lectured on "The Value and Importance of Time." Few calls were made during the day. XOUAU BELL. •. i •-- jfc. • LADIES TAKE NOTICL!.

Having1 done business for several years on the Credit Sys­ tem, and finding that thonell we have done a good trade, ana have on our books a list of names who arc good and honest men, yet to the man who pays cash, ihoee names are ot' no benefit, because both the cash and the credit buy­ er certainly pay more' for th«ir goods. No one will deny the fact that goods sold for cash can be sold much cheaper than on time, for the reason there are but few merchants doing business, who sell on time, that can buy goods for cash, and the live merchant who buys goods with all discounts off, aud with money in hand to take advantage of anything that comes along, can save money for his customers. Besides, parties buying on time, whether whole­ sale or retail, if not in a direct way, pay each a share for all poor debts, and the best merchant liv­ ing, iet him be ever so careful, will make some poor debts if he does a large credit business. So, on and after the 1st day of Jaauaiar, 1878, we shall NO MORE BOOKS aud will sell all goods to the rich, poor, old and young, for cash, and have _ J, " 5-| I NO HUMBUG.
