Hlne, of the Lowell Journal, before the Northwestern Michigan Press Associa­ tion, on the 23d of last August, was a capital production, which we wish we ' had space to publish In full. We shall try to give extracts from it here­ after. The following paragraph agrees so well with the article week before last, that we give it entire: ••Let the rule be ewih.payable inva- Tiably in advance and put the publisher under bonds to give his wife a ten dol­ lar bill ev^ry time lie violated that, mle. This might, use up tha publisher. ^ hut his wife would soon be able to «ta<*t a bank and support him In good stjric, which is far better than runuing a newspaper on tick. If the publisher will boldly maintain that his paper is worth "na«li in advance," all he asks for It and a little more, his readers as a rule will not be long in coming to the same conclusion. And put a pin Tf/Ttt? publisher, hYtcnCIbnMVly f»thwwll», pemfts tboAden to pre­ vail that it is n. privilege to him to "vend his paper to his subscriber wheth­ er paid for or not, his readers will ap­ preciate a good deal more other papers which they have to pay for in advance.

D. McLean. Subject, '•Culture." There was a fair audience present and tlie Lecture was well spoken of. A special meeting of the G. A. B„ Post No. 108, was convened last Mon­ day evening to mnster In several com­ rades who were not on hand at the last regular meeting. At the next regular meeting, which occurs the third Mon­ day of this month, the Kockford Post have been Invited to be present, Geo. Snyder vs. Charles Murphy, of Greenwood. This was a suit brought before Esquire Baldwln by Geo. Sny­ der to recover money which Murphy claimed he had paid butfbad no receipt to prove It. Judgment rendered for plaintiff for "one hundred and ten dol­ lars and costs, and all who heard the trial say amen. About 6 P. *., last Saturday, a serious railroad accident took place near the engine house In this city, thongh hap­ pily with no loss of life. At the time mentioned the Woodstock Accotmno dation had just finished switching, or making up the train in proper order to start next morning, and were stand ing on the main track when a wild freight train from the south came thundering down the track, crushing Into the tender of the passenger en­ gine which was headed north, pushing the train. The pilot of tha passenger engine was driven under the milk car, knocking out the trucks and smaihlng the end of the car to splinters. The smoke stack and headlight of the en gine was knocked off and the boiler- head smashed in. A hole large enough for a man to crawl into was made in the tender. The pauenger train was driven about two hundred yards after tlie erasli butkspt to the rails. I'll freight engine was badly wrecked, as was a coal car next to it. Tlie en­ gineer of the freight train, Patsey Carney, remained upon his engine, at his post, and although he did not seem at first to be dangerously injured, yet Dr. A. K. Bwtdivln, who ately called, was fearful that he wits strained and' injured internally. He was taken to the residence of Thomas Glennon and tenderly cared for. Wm. Lindsay, night watchman at the en­ gine house, was In charge of the pas­ senger engine. Knute Knutson, fire­ man, and Lindsay's little boy were also on the engine, all of whom jumped just in time to save themselves. The passengers of the Janesville Ac­ commodation were transferred at the wreck and got away about nine o'clock. The track was cleared about two o'clock Sunday morning, though a gang of men were kept Dusy until late Sun­ day afternoon, clearing up the wreck and getting the disabled engines and cars in order to send to Harvard. The St. Paul Passenger, due here at 11 p. M.. was sent out over the Galena Line and to Belvidere. There are, of course, a great many different opinions as to who is to blame for this catastrophe. Your correspondent, however, not be­ ing a railroad man, will wait for furth­ er particulars before giving an opinion. There is no doubt, however, but that there will be a hauling over the coali In several quarters, and that some per­ son or persons were sadly negligent in performing their duty. We were pleased to see that the editors of the Democrat, in this city, came to the front last Satur- day,giving It. soundly to the young miscreants who infest our streets, both night and day, seeking for all kinds of deviltry and meanness, with which to worry some old and defenseless per­ son or some poor widow womau witli little children, and no ono but herself to render them protection. We knew of one or two right down* diabolical and despicable attempts, which have been made and succeeded in by some of the above mentioned chiv­ alry, to frighten families of small children, by appearing at the windows after dark, breaking window panes and even the sashes, and some of these real nice young men are nearly of age and belong to respectable families, but are a disgrace to tha same and the whole town. We hope the editors of tlie Democrat will do as they say, and ,come down hard on this horde of youthful thugs and cause thein to come up standing, uuless they quit •ttfh depredations. Geo. Hoy appeared at the store Mon day morning, wearing a serene look of contentment tt|Nte Wi, countenance Of course the majority of Ms ctflt&ui' era and others thought this was on account of large sales and a general increase in their business during last year, which was certainly the case. Yet this was soon ascertained to be a very small part of the reason lor the extreme politeness which George showered upon those who were iu want of a spool of silk or a suit of eiothes, giving the purchasers such low figures and bargains that they imagined it was all on account of its being the first day of 1882, wnen, upon inquiry it was found that of all the New Year's pres­ ents giveu iu tkl» city.

We, too, have heard more than one person, aud even the editors of another news­ paper published in this county, remark that Van $lyke made by far the best paper In the county. and one hard to beat by any paper m the Fourth Dis­ trict. The proof of the pudding, how­ ever, is in the eating thereof, and those who read other papers published in the county, when in comparison with the PLAIMURALEU, must readily see its superiority in every tbing that* goes to make a first class newspaper; aud this is tlie best of reasons why ex-sol- diers and others throughout the en­ tire county are sending in their sub­ scriptions. thus helping to swell the already largo and extended circula­ tion of tho PLAINDEALKK. We were also pleased to notice that friend Van was not too modest, for once, to print what the good Doctor said about the general verdict of the reading public, as regards the real worth and capa- pility displayed in editing THE MCUENRY PLAIN DEALER, aud we hope Van will not have grown so modest in two weeks as not to print tlie above.

To those who had not learned who It was that had been taken from our midst, upon Inquiry as­ certained that Mrs. Hannah P. Whit- son, wife of the senior member of the well and widely known hardware firm of Thomas Whitson & Sou, had depart­ ed this life at about seven o'clock that morning. Mrs. W. was born In Boston in 1815, and married there in 1833. Her maiden name was Hannah Porter Bontell. She resided In West Boston until 1848, in which year she moved west with her husband, three daught­ ers and two sous. The eldej| son, Oscar, died hero a little over three years ago, aud whom the mother has now gone to join, and Edwin, the junior member of the above mentioned firm. The family came direct to Wau- kegan, Ills,, aud resided there until 1854, when they came to Woodstock, she leaves au aged husband, with whom she had lived nearly fifty years and a family of seven children, con­ sisting of four daughters and three sons, to mourn tlie loss of a fond and n.flectlon*t« "-wVfo *nd ttHKhca-- Hw children, all restQe t*i this city, two of the daughters bei-.ig married, one the wife of Mr. James Thompson, aud the other of Wm.

While the aged father Is separated for a brief time from the companion with whom he had traveled life's journey through sunshine and storm for so many years, yet he Is com­ forted by the assurance of the watqh ful care and love that only loving and dutiful children can bestow, to cheer aud help lighten the burden of sorrow in this, his declining years. The memory of the deceased will ever be cherished as one who was always ready to lighten the burdens and alleviate the sorrows of all around her who sought her council and assistance, and the bereaved family have the sympa­ thy of this entire community in this their hour of great affliction. The funeral services were held at the fam ilj residence on Friday, December 30'.h, the jRev. A. J.
