Dinner being pre- pai^,~t&e~company assembled. A short invocation was offered by Elder Clark, of McHenry. Mr. H. C. Mead was then re­ quested to make a few remarks by way of apology, etc. He came forward and said: "Mr. Bassett, and Mrs. Bassett: Yon see gathered around yon a large company, all of whom you recognize as neighbors and friends and you may won­ der what is the occasion of such an uncer­ emonious proceeding. Allow me to say by way of explanation that some of your friends discovered, upon looking over the chronological events, that you have been living a wedded life for half a century and had lived in this neighborhood for thirty-five years, and this being the anni­ versary of your marriage they have seen fit to celebrate this occasion in the man­ ner now being enjoyed, and we congrat­ ulate you on the happy life which you have lived together, and we ask that you will kindly accept the numerous articles which yon will find after the company shall have returned to their homes. We ask that you will accept these gifts as mementoes and tokens of friendship and the high regard that your neighbors and friends have for you, and their apprecia­ tion of your life of usefulness among them as a citizen and a Christian. Some of these gifts are individual gifts, some from your Bible class, some from the en­ tire company, all of which will more fully appear to you upon examination. I pre­ sent these gifts in the name of the several donors, and for them congratulate you upon £our having reached this, your golden anniversary, and wish you much joy in the remaining years you have to stay with us in this life, and untold hap­ piness in the life to come." Mr. Bassett responded by quoting the passage of Scripture which he learned and heeded in early life, " 'Tie not good for man to live alone," and thanking the neighbors for their tokens of regard, and wishing them all a happy hereafter, he led the way to a sumptuous dinner which was spread. / About 85 persons were present and partook of the dinner which was brought and prepared by the ladies of the neigh­ borhood. After enjoying a happy visit the company bade the Elder and his wife good-bye, and departed to their several homes, leaving behind them many, com­ forts of life, such as easy chairs, carpet for the parlor floor, fur overcoat a set of gold band dishes, and many articles of vwhich the writer has not a list. COM. • ===== EDITOR PLAINDEALER I feel it a duty and a pleasure to say a few words con­ cerning the kind reception which I re­ ceived at the bands of old and valued friends in Ringwood, a few days ago. My surprise was so great that I could not find words in which to express my gratitude. Let me thank the friends, one and all, who took part in the entertain­ ment and assure them that their kind­ ness will be remembered and appreciated as long as I live. 1 thank my former pupils for the valuable presents they gave me, but their kind words were more valuable still. The Ringwood school has a very warm place in my heart, and my best wishes are for its prosperity and the suc­ cess of its warm-hearted jteacher. WM. NICKLE. Oard of tnanka.

One of the healthiest signs of a high de­ gree of culture as well as of proof of re­ finement and modern civilisation, is the Iribute that wealth payii to genuine worth, the acknowledgment of those well served by faithful servant*; and our little village of Ringwood delighted, upon an evening not long since, to pay a tribute to the worth of one who has served us most faithfully indeed. For years, as long as I can remember, our village has been mentioned favora­ bly throughout this and adjoining coun­ ties as a place possessed of a school where an education, as is commonly said but which should be mentioned as only the foundation of such, could be most suc­ cessfully laid in a short time. And so, each term of school that opened during the past twenty years, perhaps, and probably for a longer period of time, has brought to Ringwood a number of students from adjoining towns, and sometimes from greater distances, to attend school and become, |n the social bands that always hold sucti a commun­ ity, bound to a certain extent to little Ringwood. During all tiiis time the same teacher, yith but slight interrup. tion, has guided tbefortunMiand directed the studies of such students. He has grown oldia the good wort; his pupils, many of them, have themselves grown quite experienced in the same work, and hundreds of others are engaged in suc­ cessful business occupations all through this country. So long, in fact, has the same spirit maintained the position of advance instructor that our common dis­ trict school has gained a reputation to be envied, and which would be worth no small amount erf capital to Borne of the long-established, but little known, be­ cause of the lack of success he achieved, institutions of learning called seminaries, etc. A tree is known by its fruit, and Ringwood school can count fruit, quau* tity and quality considered, with any of our common or public schools, and few are the institutions included in the other class named that are "iu it,"so to speak, when compared with our school wheD measured by that etandard, the fruit. Hence it is that, when the man who has for all those years, led youth to more mature and better developed man and womanhood, decided to take leave of his labors in that direction and asked to be allowed to resign, our people for the first time fully appreciated the extent of his labors. Modesty forbids that I write here what may be more fittingly stated by bis biographer. We are thankful that it is yet too soon to write either his obituary or his biography, and may the grass of labor in a green field, bring the promise fulfilled to those who justly earn the probation of the just, health, peace and competence to this our esteemed teacher, friend and neighbor. It was decided that some public ac­ knowledgment was doe to Mr. Wm. Nickle, whose name is the synonym for each of the three nouns in the previous sentence, and Miss Lucy Hall set about arranging for the proper observance of the occasion. Old students were notified all through the country that a celebration in honor of their old teacher was to be held at Ringwood, and letters expressive of regret and accompanied by small amounts of money to be used in the pur­ chase of a fitting gift to Mr. Nickle, ex­ pressive of the esteem in which they re­ membered their once faithful teacher, came from all quarters of the Union. Such a souvenir was found in a book­ case in oak and a check for money to partly fill it with books, which all pre­ ferred Mr. Nickle should himself select. I feel that to -write the affair as it appeared to me, Mr. Editor, would be too lengthy for your paper, though you have bourne with us on other occasions, and we are going to trust in your par tience somewhat now. The evening came on Saturday, September 19th, and a great many old pupils were in attendance; and do you know, my dearly remembered absent school-mates, I really felt that 1 was favored at being allowed to be pres­ ent, and your absence alone saddened me. Where are you all? I have read of tbe profligate's cry, "Return, my early days, return 1" but on that occasion my inward cry was, return my early school­ mates, come back from jour wanderings, from the harsh, cold and selfish world, return; come from the lap of fortune, you more favored ones; your happiness shall be ours for the time, and will help us to heal the wounds made by envy, calumny and even death in the ranks of our lowly brothers and sisters. For surely to-night we are back in tbe old place, with the old teacher, tbe same dear youthful associates, our cares are forgotten, and to-night we shall water th&t friendship of school days, and it shall grow and expand till it bridges the space 'tween Time, where we are all pil­ grims, and Eternity, where many of our absent are awaiting Time's latest ar­ rivals. I stated that you absent ones were not forgotten in my mind; and let me state further, that I think someone else thought of you, too. Well, the affair was, as you would have it yourselves, a success; a surprise to our principal, who first had smiles then tears for company throughout the entire evening. The pro­ gram consisted of songs by the present pupils and old students, some abort pa­ pers and addresses. Carl E. Fay led with an address of welcome, and Mrs. Warren came second with a live paper of reminiscences of her school life at Green­ wood with Mr. Nickle for teacher. She was-one of a pair of "Georgies", the wheel one of the team. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Ellsworth, your servant in this article, and others, too. took part in de­ claring their love and lifetime respect for their old teacher. Mr. Nickle's remarks were touching in the extreme, especially to the people of Ringwood. At this juncture I bappetic my little eleven-months account my wife could no hurried home to see that but very anxious to see lost much of what folio was willing under ttifr drcumsteuaoM to do so. And now I think of wliat I have read in some one's verse that few know where to leave off, or something of that substance, anyway, and I think now, the present time appropriate; but before closing, I want to make this announcement to any of the former students who would like the address of some fellow-student and has no means of obtaining the same, if' you will address any one of the students resident at Ringwood, you will be favored by return mail. And now, good night, patient readers, and may you gain as much pleasure by reading this as I have while writing and thinking thoughts too sacred for print, is the wish of a Ring- wood'school boy. F.
