The gentlemen then returned to the parlor and enjoyed a social jrislt for an hour or so when they were invited to the dining room where the contents of said baskets were visible In the shape of one of the finest suppers mortal man ever had the pleasure of sitting down to. That all did ample justice to the same need not be told. The evening was spent in a real old fashioned visit, which was highly enjoyed by all, and as the hands upon the clock dial warned those present that Sunday was drawing nigh. Dr. II. T. Brown stepped forward and hi a few well-timed remarks, pre­ sented Mr. and Mrs. Mead, in behalf of the company present, a handsome China Tea Set, ias a slight token of their esteem and friendship and in commemoration of the twentieth anni­ versary of the day on which they had promised to travel life's stormy path together. &r. Mead responded in % feeling manner, thanking the company for this token of their friendship, and hoping that the time might come when he could reciprocate in like manner. The company departed for their homes, all feeling that they had passed a pleasant and enjoyable evening.

MRS ANN VASEY. DIED:--In Ringwood,on Thursday morning, September 18th, 1884, Mrs. Ann Vasey, aged & years and 5 days. Mrs. Ann Vasey was the widow of John Vasey, who died May 23d, 1875. She was born in Yorkshire, England. September 15, 1815. She came with her parents to Montreal, Canada, In early childhood. Here she was married to John Vasey In 1836, and became.the mother of twelve children, three of whem are living. James Vasev. the only remaining son, now lives in Boone Co., Nebraska. The daughters are Mrs. H. M. Steves, who has live since her marriage In Dunn Co., Wisconsin, and Mrs, J. H. Soothill, who still resides at Ringwood. Mrs. Vasey camo with her husband to this county in 1841, and located near Ringwood, into which vll* lage they moved about twenty years ago. Her health was generally good until about four months previous to her death, during which time her friends saw that she was gradually falling. Her final sickness was short, having no special disease, and suffering but little pain. She grew weaker and weaker each day, and at 3 o'clock on Thursday morning, Sept. 18th, she quietly passed away. She was converted at 10 years of age, and united with the M. Ev church, of whleh she remained % consistent member until death. She was a devoted Christian woman, and died triumphant in a living faith, with a "hope fast anchored to that within the vale." . MKW KNGLtND KCHfM. BT R. IX. SCOTT. Jtutic:--"Old Oaken Bucket."

The Scott Family gave one of their free (?) concerts at Culver's Hall on Saturday evening. Not being in at­ tendance we cannot speak personally of the merits of the entertainment, but the comment of those who went is in the main favorable. A large portion ot our community re: gret that rule of the Methodist church whtigh allows a minister to remain on one charge only three years. That in­ exorable rule takes from us the Rev. Grover C. Clark, whose character as a Christian gentleman has made him universally esteemed among us. May the blessing of Heaven follow bini to his new field of labor wherever it uiay be. The work on Coulman's Opera House i^ being pushed with commendable energy. Eight hands were employed on it last week and more would have been put to work If they could have been found. On Saturday night the frame, was tip and siding commenced. In comparison with other public rooms in the village this one looks enormous. One hundred feet is a long ways when it comes to the length of a hall. It is estimated that the auditorium will be capable of seating nearly one thousand persons. The building fronts on Main street and runs back 100 feet east. There is talk of dedicating it with a grand Republican rally--"a good scheme." Coulman's Opnra House is certainly the biggest thing in town. Our community Iras shocked and grieved, last Friday morning, at the sudden death of Louise, wife of J. Niles Burton. On the Saturday evening pre­ ceding Mrs. Burton became the mother of a beautiful baby boy, and seemed, up to Thursday night, to be getting on very nicely, except a partial hemi­ plegia which had existed for some time before her confinement. Toward morning of that fatal night she became suddenly worse; at six o'clock the gravest symptoms had declared them­ selves and at about 8 o'clock she ex­ pired. It seems but yesterday since Mr. Burton brought to Richmond his bride agd commence*? married life un df^he most hopeful and happy au­ spices. Their attachment to each other was unbounded, and their life's path­ way seemed strewn with abundance of sweetest flowers. But the cruel hand of Death spared not even here, and our tears attest how sore are our sorrowing hearts. To "Niles" we know no words of sympathy can lighten his load of grief. Each heart must bear its own heavy burden, but were it possible for human sympathy to dissipate the clouds around him. the very brightness of Heaven would this moment shine on his pathway. Ou Saturday all that was mortal of the departed wife and young mother was conveyed to White­ water, Wis. her former home, for inter­ ment. ' Miss Corie F. Davis, of Elgin, who has been making our home brighter by a few days' visit, permits us to give our readers the following poem, writ­ ten while here. Like so many of the productions of this gifted young woman, it Is a fine specimen of versification, full of a fine pathos and beauty. We feel sure the PLAINDEAL- ER's readers will peruse ii with pleas- are: The Dead Saminer- Wiapped tenderly withiu the Jshroud of leaves, . Her sweet, devoted flowers have died to weave, The summer fair is lying cold and dead, While wild-birds sing I heir requiem'overhead And autumn's gold and scarlet banners ware, In mourning,droopingearthward, to her grave. O, voice, that gladdened the dead Summer's hours, O, lips, as sweet nr were the sweetest flowers, O, hands, that into mine have fluttering pressed, Like frightened twin-doves' fluttering to their nest, O. Love, as pure as August Utiles be. Will any summer bring you D&ck to met. As tender music on a broken heart, ^ As love's caress on eyes where tear-drops start, As moonlight on a dark and ruined tower, As night upon th%day-toil's feverish heur, Yeur memory falls upon life's woes and fears, Till Heaven seems nearer, seen through love- born tears. O heart. If, always, In a sweet unrest, Eterual life stirs in fair Nature's breast, And thrills and threbs beneath this dnlldecay, Till newer, sweeter blooms wake to the day. For Idve, and fiilth, and hopes, and dreams that die. Will there not come a spring time, by and by? --[CORTB DAVIS. Richmond, 111., Sept 94, 1884. On Saturday evening a fellow who announced himself as the "Hermit," appeared on our streets with a lamp lighted, covered rig, and a prettily Caparisoned team, and proceeded to enlighten our citizens in regard to the way in which they ought to eat, which, he claimed, they didn't know enough to do properly. He invited humanity to revert back to the habits of the beasts, trappers and Iudians, and as­ sured them that In so del nit they would find a balm for every dyspeptic ill, provided they were supplied with a proper quantity of the Hermit's remedy which he would furnish In a liquid form at the bauble of a dollar a bottle, and in tbe dry herb state at fifty cents per package. Whether few or many of our citizens who "didn't know enough to eat" availed themselves of this sesame to digestive bliss, we did not stop to note. To sly Absent Paofhtsr Majy.
