A HORNETS' nest is said to be the best polisher in the world for glass lenses. But you want to do your pol­ ishing when the hornet is not around to help you. For what shall it profit a man If he polished a thousand glass lenses in one day, and oue hornet catch him at it? WE have Inadvertently omitted T^ change the location of the Barhiau Bros., Cigar Manufacturers, in their card on the first page.

A KEEN student of human nature must have written the following: "WhenyouMe a young man sailing down the street shortly after midnight witb his collar mashed ('own his nesk, you can make up your mind that there's a young girl crawling up stairs not far distant, with her shoes under her arm aad an extinguished lamp in iier bands.*1 IF the individual who broke th« Ba­ rometer hanging by the . side of the door of this office will call around he may hear of something to our advan­ tage.

TICKETS have been issued for a Thanksgiving Party at the Riverside House, on Thursday evening, Nov. 24th The great popularity of this house with the danning public makes it only necessary to announce the date of the Part}' to ensure a good crowd.

THE rapid manner in which subscrip­ tions to the PLAIXHEAI.GR are coming in is indeed gratifying to us. and for two reasons. First, that our efforts to get out a good paper are being ap­ preciated by the reading public, and second, the unselfish and earnest mnn- net in which our friends in different parts of the county are working in our behalf. In the past week we have added nineteen new names to our list in Marengo, and quite a number to our Richmond, Hebron, Nunda and other lists. Hardly a mail but brings us one or more new names. We take this occasion to thank our friends who are working with such good re­ sults in our behalf, and by getting out a paper worthy of their patronage, we hope to merit the continued con­ fidence and support of our large list of subscribers. If hard work will do it, we intend to give to our readers a better paper for the coming'year than ever before. 4. WK have received from the author awl publisher. Will. L. Thompson, Kast Liverpool. Ohio, a splendid comicsong, entitled, "3fy First Maeic Lesnon."' It Is a very laughable description of the mutlc pupils first lesson. Everybody enjoys a good comic song. This one will certainly be very popular. We ad­ vise all lovers of music and mirth to •end 40 cents to the author and rcceive a copy by return mail. THE second sociable for the benefit •f the Cemetery Association will be h«1d at Henry Colby's on Thursday evening. Nov, 17th, 1881.

PORTIONS of the sidewalks in this village are in very bad condition, and. as winter is coming on, it would be | well for the authorities to see tint they are repaired without delay. BMKEN and loose boards in slippery weather are dangerous, and a broken limb or dislocated ankle are not pleas­ ant things to contemplate. The walk in front of the cheese factory is in vary bad condition, the boards laying flat In the mud, and every rain the water, washing over it, makes tt al­ most impassable in that locality. It is dearly the duty of the authori ties to See that this matter it looked after by (he Street Commissioner and that without delay. Dolmans aad Cloaks at Perry & Martin's. We wake the lowest prices. WE have had the pleasure of exam­ ining the beautiful new book entitled "Mother. Home and Heaven," and while the name is bi-autiful and sug­ gestive, after a careful examination we have no hesitation in saying that the book is not unworthy of the name it bears. In speaking of it. a coiein- porarv says: "It is not an original book, but it Is better tlmn original books usually are, for it is a collection of approved fiterary gems, of the choicest tilings which have been spok<>u or written, in prose or in verse, on these choicest of all themes. Over three hundred Authors lirtve been laid undereontrihution. and the selections have been made with excellent uisSe." Mr. Scott, wiio is canvassing for the work here, has just, conic from Waueoit- da, where he took one hundred and sixty-eight orders and in little over a week lie has taken over one hundred orders in this village and vicinity.-- This fact alone speaks volumes for the work. And it is a fact that no one ?an examine this book carefully without desiring t<» obtain it, and that many do so is evidenced by the large list of names being secured oy Mr.Scott. We are aware that book Agents are not the most favored orkiudly received in­ dividuals in the world, but we wi.-h to say to our readers t hat Mr. Scott is a gentleman in every sense ot the^ word, ami lie represents a book that should be in every family in the land, and you cannot afford to let him ffo by without giving it a careful examination, after which we are sure you will admit that all we say of it is true. It is indeed a volume of "Golden Thoughts."

The donation given the Rev. Wm Ostler by the Baptist and Presbyter­ ian Churches last Tuesday evening was quite largely attended, / laud the amount donated in money, wood, flour, etc.. readied the handsome sum of e-ighty dollars. Mr. A. S. Wright has movlfd into tlie apartments formerly occupied by him over the Red Front Drug Store, which for Juration, tieauty and convenience certainly is inferior to no store of any kind in our city. Besides, Mr. Wright is extremely popular with all classes of our citizens, and others, and Is known to be a first class druggist. Little Jimmy Brink caused Bordwell the butcher to take a right smart of a jaunt one day last week, and the way of it was something after this fashion Master Brinfc%who by the way is about six years old. saw Bordwell start for the country, and jumped into tie wagon to take a ride with him. Mr. B. remonstrated somewhat with the little fellow, telling him he was going out three or four miles and tiiat it would be better for him not to go, his folks would be anxious as regards Ins absence, etc.,etc. The boy, however, went, and when they arrived at Deacon Hurd's farm, about three miles east of town, Mr. B. went either to house or barn to see the farmer ahout buying so lie stock, leaving Master James to hold the horses.

Mr. Emeison lias just issued two new books They are lr. many respects companion books, and have been compiled lor choirs and singing classes respectively. The "Herald of Praise" is the name of the Church music book, while "The Ideal" is the title of the new bong for the singing class. The only difference between them is that "The ideal' is considerably smaller and more conve­ nient to irtndle, and contains those portions of the contents of. "The Her­ ald of Praise" more particularly fitted for.use in singing classes. The ability of the author of "The Ideal" is unques­ tioned, and when we consider his won­ derfully large and varied experience with musical societies and conventions and bis succets as a teacher and com­ poser. we need not fear lor tiie fate of this new book. There ia, as usual, a practical singing school course, to­ gether with Hymn tunes, Anthems, and Spiritual *ongs of the lies; qualjty, re­ creative pieces of a secuiiar nature for practise, and a choice collection of miscellaneous music for social gather- ingsand concert singing. The music is new, Interesting mid .entertaining, and lias bten selected from the best and most reliable sources, and will be sure to fill a very acceptable place iu the work of the singing school for 6ome time to come.
