It 1# now anticipated that the «wt will be given to the juiy «a wrd«7 eveuitiir. tSTThe year 1881 must always be remembered as the one which saw the dose of two live*, mourned by whole nations. Rarely, if ever before within a twelve month, has the assassin laid low two figures ot such prominence as Alexander IT. of Russia, the libera- tor of the surfs and the friend of Amer­ ica, and James A. Garfield, President.of Hie United States. The deaths were In striking contrast ; that of the Czar the aparetitly Inevitable result of lur. king and persistent conspiracy; the President's, the monstrous conception Of a single individual, and coming at what seemed the beginning of a success­ ful administration. The autocrat died a few hours after the glass bombs were burled at hi3 carriage and his person; oar own ruler after months of suffering heroically borne. •0*What shall be done with the ali­ tor? The miners will dig: smelters^ •tamp-mills, and mints will run. The Secretary of the Treasury has decided to ask Congress to* an appropriation for additional vault room at the sub- Treasury In San Francisco. There was to much silver stored in the vaults that the Assistant Treasurer declined to re­ ceive any tnore from the collector of tba port, on the ground that he had no proper place to store it. Secretary Folger was informed of the state of affairs, and telegraphed to the Assis­ tant Treasurer that he must receive the money and take such additional precautions to guard it as may be ncc- oasary until authority could be abtain- ed from Congress for the construction of another vault.

TtAisDE&LEtt:-A« I have tK>t seen er heard of any correspond­ ence to the PLAIKMEAGEB from this jpart of the 'comity, it struck me that I might try and think up something to give to the pflblie by way of exciting "their criticism, for exeite It this will^ «s it is my first attempt to write a f^lece to a paper of any description. Andrew Nish and Miss Eliza Halde- -man, tird of a single life, committed that great act "uniting In matrimony" juid go it double for the remainder of their lives. Mother Qossip says there Is a number more to follow suit this winter. R. Tweed & Son are stifl ta be found «t their old post, "selling Dry Goods and Groceries to the fanners around, and giving satisfaction to all who come iOd see them. !

Our sehool is prospering under the Care of Will Wire of Greenwood.

We had a glass ball shoot on Satur- tay before Christmas, which uiade a ttie excitement for the sportsmen of the surround!ng country. A good num­ ber joined in the sport of making glass ty. beside a large crowd of spectators. The prizes were carried ofl by the boys from Grass Lake. Bully for you boys. Stick to itand you will beat Bogardus jet. We are going to have another on the 14th day of January. All are cor­ dially Invited. Your Fox Lake correspondent must have a Webster Unabridged Diction­ ary at his elbow when he starts out to write, as he seems to understand the .. use of words that cramp our tongue to read them.

Come again. They can afford to see you as trade never was better in this town. Among the M^«onlc fraternity the event oi the season was the installa­ tion of officers and the sociable held at their hall on Friday night last. The hall was thrown open to Masons and their families. About 60 were pres­ ent to witness the ceremcHiies, which were conducted by Daniel J. Avery, Dept. G.M. for the dtv of Chicago, and W.M.Wood, of National Lodge also ot Chicago. After the ceremo­ nies Avery gave a lecture to the ladies in which he showed to them the ne­ cessity of the organlzati on. Its benefits and privileges. He was followed by Wood and others. At 9:30, about forty repaired to the Hyatt House where a bountiful banquet had been prepared, and such a repast was never known in these parts as Hyatt furnished on this, occasion, reflecting great credit upon him as a hotel keeper. The company dispersed about 12 o'clock, all feeling better for having come together aud mingled In one another's society. The sociable at Dr. Ballou's last Friday night was well attended by both old and young. The next one will be held at the residence of E Beckley on Saturday evening of next week.

WAUCONDA. ••""SUBSCRIPTIONS for the PLAIKDBALER will 'be received in Wauconda at K. B Harrison's Drug Store and at the Post Office EDITOR -P LA IN DEALER: -->.The lake has been frozen over during the past wsek. and the young people have taken advantage of the moonlight eveni ngs to enjoy the skating. School opened last week with an at­ tendance of fifty eight in the upper :oom, ten being irew scholars and nine from outside the district. Lane term about 045 was received for tuition, aud this terra a larger amount is expected. New outline maps have been pur­ chased, and the school library will soon receive a large addition, and the outlook for a successful term is .very encouraging. Lyceums are to be held every two weeks, the question for de­ bate this week, being " Resofoed, That Gold is a more valuable Motal than Iron." Our report last week that Goldlng & Brooks had dissolved* partnership was premature. The firm still remains nnclianged. Our venerable' Canadian friend hae departed. There has been a mystery connected with his stay among us which has impressed itself upon all who wsre privileged to enjoy his so­ ciety. All remarked his extreme en­ thusiasm for all things Canadian, es­ pecially its prompt and efficient meth­ ods of administering justice, and many wondered why so high-toned an apostle of morality should leave his own Arsadia for our somewhat too free aud easy land. We enjoyed lis­ tening to his exposition of laws and customs "over on our side," aud, having a little bill agair:st him, were delight­ ed at the promptness with which lie repeatedly promised to paj' "next Saturday." One day last week, failing to receive his accustomed promise, we made inquiries concerning hi in. aud found that he was no longer with us. We went away thoughtful, aud won­ dered whether the circumstances of his departure from Canada were sim­ ilar to his very quiet parting from us; whether his high appreciat ion of home law has not been gained by actual knowledge of its force, arid whether it had anything to do with his mys­ terious presence among us. We were unable to attend the grand literary entertainment Tuesday, but heard soiuetiiing about it. instead of the Drama aud Roaring Farce adver­ tised. it proved to be all farce, or rath­ er three farces in one. One of the farces (?) annouivced was Dickens* " Death of Little Joe."' It seemed to ba highly appreciated by the audience. Circuit Conrt Is in session. The wood famine *»env» to be about busted. "Coal has taken a tumble as re­ gards price, and plenty of green wood can be bought at 14.50 to 85.00^ per cord The only employee censured for neg­ lect in the railroad accident here De­ cember 31st was Conductor James, of the freight train, who. we understand, has received ills walking papers. All the doctors are busy just now, vaccination being the order ot tho day. We understand the contract for fur­ nishing the material and building the Presbyterian Church which this so­ ciety propose erecting .the coming season, has been awarded to Messrs. Brink & Corlett, of this city. Thl9 assures the good people of this denom­ ination that they will be provided with all that the contract calls for, as the gentlemen named are first class mechanics and perfectly reliable. They have just finished two handsolme residencies--one for Dr. A. E. Baldwin aud the other for E. Arnold, which workmanship Is a credit to the build­ ers and adds mtich to the beauty of Clay Street in this city. The firm also built the Msthodist Church and several of our best and most substan­ tial structures. The cost of the church about to be hnilt will be in the neigh­ borhood of $5,000. The sorely afflicted family of Wm. Sherwood have once more been called upon to give up another of their loved ones. First, a little over a mo-.ith ago, it was a beautiful little girl, the second youngest of the family. Next to fol­ low was the mother, and now death has taken a blight little boy, the youngest of all. Surely Mr. Sherwood seems to have more than his share of woe and certainly deserves the sym­ pathy of all our citizens. We hear there was another railroad collision on this road last Saturday morning, this lime between this city and Harvard. It seems that a locomo­ tive ran into the caboose of a freight train, smashing the same into splinters We don't hear of any loss of life or limb--in fact have not heard full par­ ticulars. Our concert, under the auspices of the Union Church Lecture Course, will ta|»e place January 20ih. Witli the talent secured from abroad, and the best this city aftords, which is something we arc all pioud ot, our conceit must prove a success aud will be largely attended. Juit as we are about to close our com­ munication we hear that Dick Rosslar and wife,of Chicago, died in that city last week of small pox. A daughter had died of the terrible disease the week previous, and should it prove true that both Mr. and Mrs. R. arc dead, it will only leave one member of the family, a sou,to mourn the loss of parents and sister. Dick was a res- tbtj» searsiijKai r In the employ,ot Messrs; Butiker Bros., as a.tinner, and had a host of friends among our citizens. Some one told us last week that Leandcr Young, the etiicient and gen­ tlemanly clerk who has been in the em­ ploy of Bunker Bros, for so many years, and which place of business, not­ withstanding their extensive trade would appear lonesome without him, had really taken a couplc of days to himself and visited Chicago, partly on business and for a short respite from continuous labor. Now this informa­ tion nearly toon ourr bieath away, sim­ ply for the reason that Leandcr is al­ ways on hand, and whoever heard of Bunker Bros, keeping house for two whole days without him,?

Mrs. Henry Gri(ling and family, of Chicago, were the guests of W. H. Dwiglit last week. J. A. Baldwin, Assistant U. S.

II. K. Wightman, of Mollenry, was in this city on business last Thursday. I>r. Anderson, of Mctleury, called ou friends here last week. O. W.Owen, of Mcllenry, was seen on Woodstock street* oue day last week. J. Van Slyke. Editor of the McIIenry Plai.nderile>\ Ills wile and daughter.
