THE merchants who advertise their goods are crowded with bueiuess, while nen-advertisersiook sadly at their dus­ ty stock, stand in their doors with hauds in their pockets, and hate their enter­ prising neighbors. THE photograph ef qnall on toast is now on exhibition at the leading hotels fn Chicago. The womlei is how the quail manages to hold the toast down, as the aforesaid toast is much the larger aud heavier of the two.

GEOGHGE FRANCIS TRAIN has discov­ ered how any man can live in luxury on Ave cents a day. But why should we live in luxury when we see so many poor families around us who are strug­ gling to get through* the wluier with oulyouedog? OKE would think one of the Editors of this county was about 87 to hear him talk. Listen to him "OhI the loy of the young heart. It makes us all wish «s we look upon them, that we could be yoang again and forget, our trials, sorrow and tabulations." A large number of hog* were shipped at this Station on Monday last. Prices have fluctuated considerable the past few days in Chicago, and to day are reported B @ 10c lower, imaging at #4,05 <g 4 25, per hundred. There are still A large mmiber in the country that are being held for better pricoa. THERE will be a social Party at the Riverside House, on Friday evening of this week. Good muttfc in attendance. No charge except to pay the music. All are invited. , WE learn that the Geneva Ltke Quadrille Band contemplate giving a grand Masquerade Ball at Riverside Hall, In this village, about the first week iivjfebruary. This will be some­ thing new In this place, and we pre­ dict will be well patronised. Particu­ lars next week. JOHX MYERS is a public benefactor. On account of the horrid condition of the roads we came near having a wood famine in this village, i\hen on Satur­ day he came down the river with a Raft containing five cords and again on Wednesday with ten.cords. It was first class seasoned wood, and sold readily at #5 per cord. HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX. Ex-Vice President of the United States.will deli ver bis great Lecture on Abraham Lincoln, at the Methodist Church, Woodstock, Monday evening next, Jan. 7th. Of course there will be a large turnout to hear this great orator and Statesman. His subject is one that cannot fail of being interesting to even' American citisen. Those who fail to attend will miss a rich literary treat. • « DR. A. A. RICE Dentist, having deci­ ded to permanently locate in MeHenry, will, on Monday next, open an office in the Riverside House for the practice of his profession. He is without doubt ono of the most skillfull Detitist in the Northwest, and those who secure his services can rest assured ot liaving their work well done. Read his adver­ tisement e 1st where, and you will «ee that he has put his prices to suit the times. THE North Carolinaus, who were ad­ vertised to give an entertainment at Riverside Hall on Thursday evening last, failed to put in au appearance. That they were A No 1 performers as recommended we have no doubt, but that they also possess the accomplish­ ment of dead beats is sufficiently proven by their failure to pay certain little bills contracted in this village The press in the couutry will do well to make a note of this. AFTER the 1st of January, the new law will be enforced which compels physicians to register the deaths and births which take place under their charge. This record, while not In.' tended for that purpose, will be a gnage ef their skill. The cases which they lose will affect their professional standing in much the same manner that it now affects a member of the legal profession. Births will of course be like ciises won, and it would not l»e un­ reasonable to expect that before long physicians will not only attend such in- terestsng cases for Nothing but grow so anxious arter fame, as to pay hand- somely for the privilege THE New Years Party at the River* side House, was, considering the con­ dition of the roads, a erand success. One hundred and ten couples were in attendence, and a more orderly aud pleasant crowd we uevcr saw together* The music was a No 1, and the supper was pronounced by all to be the best ever sat down to in that House. Not only was. there everything that the heart could wish lu the shape of eata­ bles aud plenty of it, hut the tsbles were arranged in a manner that done great-credit to the taste and skill of the landlady Mrs Wightman. With such arrangements and Bill of Fare Wightman can always be assured of a good crowd .whenever he sots fit to get up a Party. THE entertainment given by the Good Templars Dramatic Society, at Riverside Hall on Tuesday evening of last was a success in every particular, and more than met the expectations of those who attended. The beautiful Dramaofthe "Last Loaf," was rendered in a manner highly creditable to all and 4<n this theirtflrst entertainment the members proved themselves Ama­ teurs seldom equaled. Time and spa^e will not allow us to particularize, but we can only say that all acted their part well. The FartSe of the k"Persecu­ te d Dutchman"" was immense, and brought a broad grin on the counte­ nances of the most sober, aud a regu­ lar Haw, Haw from the crowd. We do not exagerate wbeu we say that the entertainment was a credit to the Society which it represents. At their next entertainment we predict the Hall will be packed to Its utmost. On Thursday evening of next week they will repeat these two Plays at Ring- wood, aud we can ass«re our readers in that section that the/ will miss a rich treat if they fail to go. 'THE new records and blanks required by the/State Board of Health--record of physicians, register of certificate, births, deaths aud marriages; also, re­ ports of births aud deaths for physi­ cians and reports of marriage for all who solemnize marriage--are at the County Clerk's office for those requir­ ing them.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:--On Christ­ mas eve, 4*Night dropped her sable curtain down" (and fringed them with dark water bearing clouds.) thereby producing a feeling of depression. The Baptist aud Methodist church bells rang out joyously calling all to come who wished to join in the festiv­ ities of the evening. The Methodist church was beaut I folly trimmed, the. elegant design having been devised by Mrs. Preston. The words "Wt have seen his «£ar in the east and are come to adore him* were written ou the walls in gilt letters, the large tree was heavily loaded with gifts for young and old, rich and poor .Upon the arch which stood in front of the tree. Be this ham was written in gilt letters and a star was placed above, A dove suspended from the center of the arch, appeal's to be finJng towards the west with the message: "Behold he bringetli gou«i tidings of great joy." The Hessian Band gave a musical entertainment at the National Hall on Christmas eve. Many regretted that they could not hear the band for it is not often we have an opportunity to listen to such a treat. Such a number was interested in church affairs that they did not attend and we understand that the band intends coming again in about three weeks. Christmas morning it rained and remained, unpleasant nil day. At the Catholic church service was held at 11.30; Father Lay den's sermon was very appropriate. Christmas night the exercises at the Presbyterian church cemtnenced at 7 o'clock but, at -6.30 o'clock every seat had been taken and many were obliged to leave on this account. Every one that took part did well and Mrs Todd who in­ structed the children deserves great credit. The decorations were taste­ fully arranged. When the Christ child made her appearance with a present for each boy and g'rl who had taken part, the children forgot that they were before an audience and gathered gleefully arouud tne basket.

The best joke on Christmas Kve.. aras Eli Perkin's picture, neatly framed, presented to Mrs. Q. B. Car­ penter. George, how do you like that? MeHenry, or some of It* citizens, should be reprimanded for spoiling the eye sight of one of our best citisene, just because he came down for a little recreation and to get a fsw drops of benzine to cool his burning tongue.-- And then see how they received him. After leaving his money in their tills, they hoodwinked the poor boy so he could not see his way home. We hope the likes will not happen again and if it should just leave enough together so his family can recognize the bod)' and that is all we will ask. J. O. Nason, who has been side for a long time with Typhoid Fever, will be out in a few days. On Christmas Eve. lie was presented, front the people of Richmond, with thirty-five dollars as a token of friendship. We would say that we wish there were more young men like him in Richmond, who were of some use to themselves and society. We have plenty that are of no use to themselves and nobody else, growing up In idleness and poverty, hungry, ragged and barefooted, aud what little they do get spend it for whisky be­ cause they think it cunning to get drunk. Wc dont like to find funlt and !tsk men to do more than Is In their power, but justice, society aud the law abiding people of Richmond demand of the village board that they should try and keep order, and arrest the first druuk- en, disorderly person found on the streets. There has been plenty of late and the village police is no better than a basswood man set up on a corner labeled police, and if lie can't be made to do his duty let him slide and try another, When parties havf no re­ spect for themselves aud none for oth­ ers why should the police have for them. Look at that poor foolish fellow that came into the Baptist chureh on Christmas Ev^. He should have roosted ;i: the calaboose the remainder of the night. Now we asfc the board to do their part and not let the town be run by roughs any longer. If the pres­ ent police Is not sufficient put on more men. The town, in a great measure, Is what its leaders make it, and by not doing your duty it looks as if you were trying to aid them, and as long as you continue it th«J will keep it "P.

No one will deny the fact that goods sold for cash can be sold much cheaper than on time,, for the reason there are but few merchants doing business, who* sell on time, that can buy goods for cash, and the live merchant who buys goods with all discounts off, and with money in hand to take advantage of anything that comes along, can save money for his customers. Besides, parties buying on time, whether whole­ sale or retail, if not in a direct way, pay each a share for all poor debts, and the best merchant liv­ ing, let him be ever so careful,, will make some poor debts if he* does a large credit business.
