In the matter of dec­ oration the church presented a vtsry handsome appearance, the arrange­ ment aid variety of flowers proving that the ladles had fairly outdone themselves, »• nd made the interior of the church on this occasion a very par­ adise/ One heautifui feature wfcl a miniature fountain, situated in the center of the flowers, that threw its tiny JL«ts during the entire service. The exercises were appropriate and interesting, and was a credit to those engaged, and also to the teachers and superintendent of the Sunday school. In short the ladies have just cause to feel proud of the aucoesfe of Children's Day In every particular. Children's Day services were also held at the M. E. Churchy both' morning and evening, which were largely at­ tended and were of the most interest ing character. Their church was also decorated in a very handsome manner. The German Catholic Church at Johnsburgh also observed the day In a very imposiug manner, and those who attended prououuee the crowd In at« tendance the largest ever seen there feting character, af quiet but cheerful company of friends and acquaintance* assembled at the home ot Mr. W.

The oeremony declar­ ing the two one was performed by Rev. C. W. J ay cox. of the M. E. Church Congratulations numerous and hearty followed, each wishing the happy hus­ band and wife a long, prosperous and joyful journey In life. A number of beautiful and tastefully arranged bou­ quets were placed on the table where were also seen many elegant and val­ uable presents of the substantia] and useful order, rather than the frail and merely ornamental. Refreshments sufficient In quality and quantity to supply th^ wants and tastes of the inner man, of the most particular, were served in a royal manner by Mr. and Mrs. A. S.

THE reason that so many young men who work by the day. save nothing is that they conclude that It would take a long time to save any considerable amouuf, and so they have a good time never actempt to do more than "keep even' (some do not even do that,) aid at the end of the year they have, nothing to show for their labor. Many poor young men, without a bit of help, become rich, but this isa'-t. the way they do It. > T-1 i "•> 1 'I. k* • THE edWor itid family have beea kindly remembered In the matter of garden sauce the past week.

EDITOR PLAINDBALKR:--Why do we look in vain through the columns of the Pt^nrosaL- er for Woodstock news? Your readers here­ about would relish something now and then tending to convince the world that Wood­ stock still survives, and in the absence of a better you are at liberty to publish this com­ munication if la your judgment it be found worthy. The Woodstock post office is new under the control of Hon. Joel H. Johnson wtnse his­ tory is too intimately connected with the his­ tory of McHenry county to necessitate much comment on his individuality. ' His Anger marks are traceable all along the line of inci dents making up not only the history of Mo- Henry county, but of Woodstock as well. Thirty years ago under the lead of Stephen A. Douglas, Mr. Johnson might truly be styled the Democratic oaptain of the CSun try, and an important element in tho politics of the State, and he has never abated "one jot or tittle" of his love for the old Bourbon Democracy, or his h ttred for Us enemies, ol what name or kind soever, MoClellan was his beau-ideal of a General, and Vallandigham filled his measure of admiration as a states man. Hence, If the old Jacksonian doctrine, "To the victor belong the spoils," is still an element in Democracy, no other man has been more faithful to his party,^or more pro feunced In apposition to all other political organization, and he has fairly won the dis­ tinction the position gives him. John Higgins, who is al*o one of tho faith, ful in the ranks of. his party, has become quite efficient in discharging the duties of the office as deputy under the tuition of Miss Cora A. Smith, who has served Mr. Johnson's predecessors and the public so satisfactorily and so faithfully for the last twelve years; and the general feeling Is that when the new management have had time to familiarize themselves with the complex routine of busi­ ness, the patrons of the office will have no cause of complaint. It is but Cair to state that during all these years of service no word of suspioten has been heard imputing dis­ honesty or Inability to Miss Smith. The daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly reports appear in her handwriting, and the office has never been inspected since her connection therewith that she has foiled to recieve the highest encomihnu for her aeon racy and adaptability to the position she has filled. And when, since Mr, Johncon's inaugura­ tion, the condition of the office was inspected in a very thorough manner, at the close of the inspection and after the inspector had com- pleted a flattering report ef the condition ot things, in speaking of her qualifications* and efficiency he closed hie eulogy by saying, *4o well is she adapted to the station she has filled, she seems to have been born and edu­ cated expressly for the discharge of these duties." What more could the civil service demand? What more gratifying compliment could she receive? June, with her plentiful Showers, is resus­ citating the vegetation which plead la vain during April and May for the falling rain. The contest between the Colorado beetle and the small boy is likely to prove an un­ equal match unless Paris Green shall come te the rescue and aid the email boy in the war ol extermination. Our city fathers are replacing the plaak walks through our beautifut park with as- phaltic cement, The work ie being done by a party from Elgin, and If the walks when completed partake of the qualities which are inferrable from the skill and zeal of the workmen, they will add yery much to the beauty of the park, as well as to tho oouven ience of all who enjoy a walk through a shady grove. Our good fathers are not unmindful of the duty of all patriotic citfaens. and have set a good example by appropriating the sum ol #200 in aid of the necessary fund to defray the expenses of an appropriate observance of the ever glorious Fourth, now close at hand On Friday evening, the 10th Inst, the super­ visors' room was well lUied with patriotic citizens in response to a call, and organized for tho celebration. Hon. M. L, Joslyn was unanimously choaaa President of the day, and Asa W. Smith, vice president, other vice president* to be appointed by the committee of arrangements consisting of Joel H. John- eon, a H. Donnelly, A. S. Wright, T. J. Dacy and John Donovan. Committee on finance. C H. Donnelly, Ira Slocum and Frank Short. "They kissed, and made friends. And so thsy are yet--," and the curtain fell at the ijueen Ann charivari. The petition might have been indiscreet, but the scurrilous attack upon the respecta­ bility of the petitioners was damnable ti the lowest depths, and the authors and publishers of so contemptable an 'ar­ ticle deserve a severer punishment than is oontempUtttd by any law, since there Is none adapted to such ignominious conduot.
