WKDXESPAY. FEB. 28th, 1877. J. VAIV SLYKE, Eklftoi*. f£rG«n, Me Arthur. Postmaster at Chicago. was announced by the papers ou Moiulny to be a defaulter to the tune of 300,000. The Journal tries to excuse it off by calling it 4-iMcArthur's misfortune !" Well perhaps it is, but, if a poor man. comparatively without in­ fluence, had done the same thing, and nothing more, would the Journal then have called it his misfortunet The Journal should make no distinction between criminals, no matter what their former social standing. Gen. McArtlinrhas filed a voluntary peti- tiou in Bankruptcy, and the President has appointed Hon. F. W, Palmer, his successor. NUNDA. Editor^ P lain dealer:--From" a political stain 1 point, we can Say that "time flies on V-h® wings of the wind," lor the hour flf'f the,' solution of the Presidential quoit is near at hand, but who can tell f.» ,e result. Honesty^ Principle, and lair*, dealing are being trodden unrler-foot\ by partisan strife; jjggr Ladies^ here is something for; you. It is about Mrs, President-elcct Hayes, More, andmost interesting of all, it is About her dress. She became apprised that she was to be the mis­ tress of the White House for the next four years. Being a 'provident- aifti painstaking lady, she immediately be­ wail to think about what would be the McHENR^ and all the old beaca, 1 Hgbts of Cousti- j proper thing for her to wSar at the in- tutional guidance, ar#v of all their prestige and power, bit^ ' uotwitlistand- ing the deleterious effect *s t '1 's of anarchy and strife. Xti 'da U rising above this influence iu a >k poii t of view, and will soonbegnt our citizen^ witl^the music ̂ iTWrh ad hoped to be able to an­ nounce to our readers this week that the Presidential muddle was. ended, Vut at the time-of writing we are una­ ble to do so. T° b® sure every dispu­ ted State lias been passed upon, but a few hot-headed partizans arc attempt iug to delay the proceedings by the most shameful filibustering ever known. Had the count of the Electoral Vote been conducted as it always lias been and according to the Constitution, we think it would have been more satisfactory, but as our wise statesmen decreed otherwise now let them act like men aud accept the situation. We hope that before our next issue a President may be peacefully inaugura­ ted, aud then we confidently predict the wheels of government will move smoothly and prosperously along. 'English manufactures have re­ cently been compelled to confront and acknowledge the unwelcome fact that Americans cannot only successfully compete with them in foreign markets, but at their own doors. The President At the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce at Its annual meeting owned that by -their own fault Sheffield euttlers had lost the trade with this country; and a few days after the President of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce at its annual meeting, lamented that they liad not only lost their excellent mar­ ket for their goods in the United States, but that there was considerble trade even in Manchester in cotton fabrics manufactured here. Mr. Mun- dell, M. P. of Sheffield, ascribed the Xo enliver >f the ham­ mer and saw in building n«w\"<?side,nces and business places, barys, \ &c. I>r. Itallou has already up a tasfe V little frame, that,will be finished of\ Tor a barn, for the use of the occup^ »ts of his stores, and Mr. Robert Phili}has some of the material on the ground' for a beautiful residence, while Mr. .)•, • P. Beadslev has taken tHe iniatory st\pPs for the erection of a mansion upon farm that joins the village^ The va­ cant houses, that were so numeroiuy last fall, are now all occupied or nearly so by tenants or by persons that have recently bought, believing that Xunda is destined to be a place ol importance, as a business center. Mr..William James, that lives on the old Harley Greeu farm. jn?t Northeast •f this place, \vas_ severely kicked bv a horse receiving the blo'\y upon his left arm, which was badly fractured above the elbow. In consoqueiK 'e, Tuesday^ Feb. 20th, Dr. Watson wa» called and* adjusted the broken bone and reports favorably of his patient. We have had two weddings in town since the last issue*of the P laindkalkk yet the matimonial market, is reported buoyant with an upward tendency. Mr. Earnest Beardslev and Miss Maggie Sides were married by Elder Wiley, at his residence, Tuesday evening, Feb. 20th. Also Thursday, Feb. 22d, at the residence of the bride's father, Mr- Andrew Henderson, by Kev. Mr. llay. Mr. Wm. M. Huffman and Miss Mary Henderson, both of Xunda. 'We wish them all sorts of good things, for well we know that they have acted wisely. Mr. John-A. Robinson was sersously and dangerously hurt Monday night, Feb. 19th, by his team running over him. It seems that while unhitching his team he thought he had unfastened all the traces and liad stepped forward to drop the pole and as the horses started forward, one tug was yet fast to the whiffle tree which frightened the augural of-her husband as President She decided up take the train from Columbus, hor Ifome, and go to Cincin­ nati, where she could get the styles. 'She went. Sli'S visited the leading fashion-firm of'the city, and she decid­ ed upon her costumes.. A sly reporter crept into I lie establishment soon after Mrs. Ilayes left, and these were the or­ ders which lie read against her name. Want to hear them? Of course? Well then, here: ' 'Inaugural dress. Be of elegant black silk, cut princesse in style, high in the throat, long sleeves, full train.

Your committee oji finance, to whom was referred tiie matter of funding the 8 pe» cent orders of this county into 7 per cents would recommend that the County Treasurer be instructed to offer 7 per cent county orders to all persons holding such 8 per cent orders as may be called in for redemption du ring the coming year and to sell for cash such 7 per cents to any and all persons de­ siring to invest iu them. We would further recconimeud that Said treasurer be instructed, whenever lie shall have iu the treasury the sum pi' #1,000 received from the sales of £uch 7 per cent orders or from other sources not otherwise appropriated, to redeem 8 percent orders of the county, giving due and proper notice of such jredemption.

Dr. Watson was called a day or two afterwards to see hi in and found him in bad condition, but re­ ports him improving now. A very pleasant social time some of the ^ many friends of Mr. and >ir.«. Gilbert Hunt enjoyed Wednesday af­ ternoon, Feb. 21st, at their residence in this place, the occasion being the cele­ bration of their Cryslal Wedding. They had taken great pains to make it pleasant for their numerous guests some of whi< h hailed from liichmond, Wood­ stock and other parts of the county. (Good vocal and instrumental music to­ gether with the sparkling conversation of friends, rendered us all oblivious to the rapid liight of time, which only the call for supper seemed to awaken us to the lateness of the hour: A most boun­ tiful collation had been prepared, svhich none know hotter how serve than does Mrs. Iiunt. We shall not enumerate the many beautiful presents and time and space will not allow us to mention the names ©f the guests which we would like to do, but we will sim­ ply say the presents were numerous, beautiful and appropriate and the friends seldom experience so much pleasure as were crowded into the few hours at Mr. Hunt's.
