ONE of the most pleasain auu enjoy-* able Independence Parties that has been held in 'this village for a long time, was held at the Riverside House on Friday evening last. One hundred and seveoty-flve couples were In at­ tendance, and everything paseed^off in the most quiet and orderly manner, and it wa« the unanimous verdict that mine host Ford and his estimable lady were a decided suecess In attending to the wants of their guests. The music by Slocum's Orchestra, under the leadership of N. E. Slocnm, fairly out- doue themselves on this occasion, and we heard nothing but praise for them on every haud, while the supper was pronounced simply superb. In short the Riverside House has gained a repu talioii with the dancing public that it will be hard to beat.

This sorrow genera'iy finds vent in a pathetic st»' tistical account, showing the amount of the loss. For example, taking the Tieight of the falls to be 150 feet, It is estimated that 1,165,000,000 cubic feet of water fail over every hour. Exclu­ sive of the velocity with which the water re ache 8 the brink, the power of the falls is calculated to be about 5,000,000 horse -power, or nearly one fourth of the who!e stearopower of the earth. Accordingly, four such rails as those of Niagara, working day and night, would replace the work now done for man by the steam-engine.

The Fourth of Jnly Celebration at. Crystal Lake and Nunda sras one of the bast ever seen in this vicinity. The day was fine and every arrangement carried out according to programme as near as possible. The only de- lay was caused by the spoaker being carried by. He was not aware of the cut off from our station, and when Crvstal Lake Junction was callad did not get out, supposing the train would run up to the depot But fortunately there was a train coming back from McHenry in about 80minutes, so the delay did not in. terrupt the general exercises of the day. The oratien was one of the finest ever listened to sn this place. The representation of Suites was ttnder the management of Messrs N and E A Beardsley and George trwin, ani it is but justice to them to say thai they had the most complete arrangements ever witnessed. The team consisted of four white horses witn harness beautifully ornamented with flags and red, white and blue roseatte tassels, ami two wagons coupled together with seating capacity for allot the States and Territories, with an ar. h in the center for the Goddess of Liberty; and these wagons were beautifully decorated with festoons and band of red, while and blue extending around the top and bottom of the seat and canopy of the wagon, and a profusion of flaxs interspersed to give the most beautiful effect. This is a very im. perfect description. It should have been seen to be appreciated David Hi-.ffraan kindlv furnished his bay mare, "Prairie Queen," for the use of the Marshal. She is one ot the finest riding animals around here, and is as handsome as she is proud She is a daisy. The Marshal was ably assisted by F. E. Cox and N. M. Paine, TheNunda Brass band fur- nished the instrumental music, and their playing was ocrtainly a credit to them, aud the people of Nunda and Crystal Lake should feel a pride in having a dr»i-class band. The game of base ball between the Cary nine and the Nunda nine resulted in a victory tor the Nunda nine by a ssore of 4 to 3. This was a very hotly contested game, with very One playing by both nines. The prizes for throw, ing sledge were awarded, 1st to Charles Wandrack, 2d M. Costigan, 3d J. Wandrnck. Iu the ten-rod foot race the 1st prise was won by L. Crow, 2d J. Nichols, 3d M. Costigan, 4th D. Bennett In the three.legged race G. Helm and B. Calahan took lirst money, H. Wilber and K.

The pig, after giving the crowd a lively chase and creating a large amount ol f .n and amuse­ ment, was captured by O. S nith. the crowd then repaired to the foot of the Lake to wit­ ness the tub race, which was won by C. Wil- lard, J. Wilmington, J. Philp and C. Feather­ ly in the same order as their nainos are given. In the glass ball shoot the prizes were cap­ tured by I.. Crow lsi, A McColhim 2d, and J. Sheldon 3d. The display of Are- works in the evening was very line, and the whole day was one of social amusement and enjoyment long to be remembered with pleasure.

Last Saturday evening the Richmond Dra- matio Club played "Esmeralda" to a good audience at Hebron. The performance re­ ceived unbounded commendation. The Club were informed that their audience would have been much larger but for the fact that the people of Hebron had lately been gulled by two snide entertainments, which had made them shy of trying amateurs again. The play has been diligently rehearsed since its presentation at Richmond and now moves off almost as s noothly as if the players were all" professionals. The Club is composed ol the flower of our young peoplo, and their maiden effort in "Esmeralda" gives a bright promise for the future of theorganisstion. It is much to be hoped that it will not be content with the laurels already won, but keep hard at work in a field where Its first efforts are such an unqualified success. A lamentable affair occurred in this village last week--one of tbose things which shakes a man's faith In human honor, and creates a general desire In the community to mete out summary punishment to the perpetrator of the outrage, without waiting for the slow procedures ot courts and lawyers. We will state the f icts, suppressing names en acsount of the feelings of innocent parties. A young fellow, hitherto regd^ted as more than ordin­ arily industrious and good principled, had for some time been ptying marked attention to a young lady of the village, and made with her a marriage engagement. The day was set for the wedding, and every preparation and ar. rangement for the same was made without a suspicion In the poor girl's mind that all was not right. The clergyman was engaged and the wedding garments of both parties made. The couple were to go to Genoa in the even, ing, where the Rev. Mr. Fraser was to per­ form the marriage ceremony, and then return to the home of the bride for the wedding sup per and a reception to a few intimate friends of the parties. On the day set for the wedding some of the young friends ot the expected bride decorated the rooms with flowers, pre­ pared the bridal boquets for bride and groom, and with the family awaited his coming at eve. He had left town on Monday, promising to return on the evening train for tbe wed­ ding. The waiting was in vain. He had lied, leaving no message or explanation. The al­ most frantic grief of the deluded girl was pitiful to see. It would have moved the stoniest heart and brought tears to eyes un­ accustomed to weep. "Take off my wedding dress," said she to her young friends amid her sobs; "put It in the box; put my boquet with it, and lay his by its side--be may come back some timet" and half anconsc lous with grief she was uu- dressed and laid upon a sleepless couch. At such a time words of consolation, which were not wanting, had little power to give com fort, and if this recital meets the eye of the author of such sorrow, and he can read it without a keen pang of remorse to his heart, and a blush of shame to bis brow, he must be hardened indeed. The whole affair seems to be a mystery to all parties concerned, unless it be to the young men himself. Nobedyseems to be . able to conjecture a reason for his e>nduct and his uniform good conduct and good character heieto- fore, makes the surprise ail the greater. There may have been what he considered weighty reasons for deserting the girl--and tor bio good name considered alone, one might wish he had them--but there can hardly be found an excuse for the refinement of cruelty in letting things go as far as he did, and then commit an act of desertion which could hard lv bo designated by milder terms than cow­ ardly and cruel. At this writing no tidings have been received of the missing groom, so far as the public knows. Among the young men of the town, tbose who have been his as ociatcs and acquaintances, the feeling of Indignation is strong. With true chivalry of feeling they have determined to stand by the girl, and the other evening we haard a knot of half a dozen of them coolly discussing the Justice and propriety of treating him to a coat of tar and feathers on his return, and should he come back soon, there is reason to fear that another disgraceful chapter would be added to the already too lamentable occur­ rence.

The Fourth passed off very quietly in this eity, as there was nothing unusual going on. Many of our cltisens went either to Harvard, Nunda or McHenry, and some to other and more distant places. Business was quiet and in the evening we had more than the usual amount of lire-works and of a much better class, and from what we observed every one was happy and contented but the saloon men. And yet, taken on the. whole, to judge from appearances (and there was a great many of them), they were pretty well patronised. Now APD AQAI1T.
