THR TEAR THAT HAS GONE It has been in somfe respects a re- murk able oue, b6th for Calamities and phenomena. It lias seen the burial of those who could illy be spare-1. and the birth of those who were better dead. It is pictured full of frustrated and realized hopes, of »urprisals and ex liectancles, of broken and mended friendship*. With humanity it has been the saddest, and yet the brightest ell stitrt- guosts present. The eutertftiument consisted of mus1c,games, refreshments and lets of fun. It wat t joyable social event of the Wm. Morton and C. E. Chapell ed North on New Year's day to buy milch cows, and we don't envy them their enjoyment !n hunting up cows with the thermometer from 30 to 40 below zero. It i« hoped they will meet with good sales tor their cows when they get in. Our Bachelor Dairymtn took several breakfasts at the Hotel last week. On Saturday morning of last week the thermometer Ptood at $4 degrees below sero at this place. The cellara aod house plants suffered last week. Dion De Marbelle gave a sleight of hand show on Thursday evening of last week, and had a very fair turnout con­ sidering the state of the weather. It was pronounced a good show. Mrs. Chapell accompanied Ed on his trip to Wisconsin last week. We should think that last week was a joke on the mild winter they have been predicting all the fall. We should think that the weather prophets had better give us a rest. There were no hand-ear excursions of years. Meii have prospered amlydence, and there were about twenty failed, predictions have been fulfilled and made for naught. It has been a year of remembrance and forgetfuluess. But sentiment is useless. The fact that we still exist and realize that the past year has shortened by one step our dis­ tance to the grave, is a sterner subject for our consideration, and how to beet occupy the time used iu each such suc­ cessive step shall be the subject for us all to study iu the year that has come. Let us forget the bitter remembrances or the year that has passed and strive to only remember those of a pleasant nature, and as we begin the New Year let us do so with our spirits buoyed up as far as possible with the hope that Its close may find an Improvement on our part of a more satisfactory nature than that of the year that has goue. : V .. -- .'

A postal card from oor nephew. S; B. Wright, GreaJy. Col., reads as follows: "Isaiah ix. 6. flrst clause." Look in yonr Bibles, eud see what did'« the fellow all. That staunch and able Universalist organ, tlie Star and Covenant, ha* ceased to exist in propria nomtnis, and The Universalist, takes its place. The Rev. Dr. Hanson retires from editorial labors. No. 1, Vol.1, of The Univ€r*rtlist gives promise that the Star and Coven­ ant will live again iu Its successor, and ably live, but it will take Mr. Hanson's old roadets a long time to become habituated to ihe new order of things. At tho special communication of Richmond Ledge No. 143, hold on New Year's day, the following visiting brethren were present: Ell Manor, Jr., Bloemfield, Wis., No. 100; I P. Rleli- and inend Otto Freeman, Geneva, No. 44; Goo. Watson, Rockton, III., No. 74, and N. G00kIn. Hebron. No. 604. After conferring tlie M. M. degree upon Dr, Kdwiu R. Bennett, all brethren who could stay repaired to the Culver House and partook of an oyster supper, perfect in all Its appointments. • Mr. and Mrs. Culver were at McHenry, but their accomplished daughter. Miss Georgle4,<dld the honors as landlady witli grace and self possession: and if that supper was a sample of her skill in the culinary art, happy should be the man who sometime wlus her for a Wife, The Hebron correspondent of the SSentinel goes considerably ont of his way to make really mean remarks about the masquerade ball at the Cul­ ver House. They were not only mean, but uutruthtul, and, If one can Judge of a writers animus by what he writes, the deliberate intention was to injure the reputation of the hotel and dam­ age Its business, and no doubt Mr. Cul­ ver could sustain an action at law against the writer, for damages. The landlord Is of the opinion that the JSentlneCt correspondent la the same fellow wl^» brought two girls to the Insiqnerade, and, Instead of getting them their supper tike a man, went down stairs and ordered one oyster Stew and three spoons, which he bore away with satisfaction and magnanim­ ously shared with the hungry girls. Christmas Is hardly a time for prim, tfcal jokes, but our friend Carr, who teaches the yourg Ringwood ideas how to shoot, was made the victim of a joke on that day, which is too good to keep. We get the particulars by tetter from Nunda, and if not truthful in every respect we shall hold our correspondent responsible at the revolver's point, and will make tho amende honorable to Mr. Carr beside. Therefore, on supposably veracious information we may state that friend Carr is the pesfessor ol an ancient cow, whesto teeth have gone the way of all the earth, and whose value is mere In memory of the butter she has produced than Th prospective usefulness In that direotlou, A jolly friend manufactured a sot of leather teeth for the cow, wrapped them up Iu a nice paekage. and expressed them to the owner.
