THE Northwestern Railroad hare issued an order forbidding the carry­ ing of piHcngars on freight trains •xcept e nployes of the company who have parses and shippers of stock.

THE passage In the Old Testament: 1 said in my haste 'all men are liar*.1" I* revised In the new addition so as to read: "I said when I made haste to escape, "all men are a lie.'" As we are prone to attribute the best and loft­ iest qualities of character to the In­ spired writers thi* new version, if cor­ rect, will force the numerous admirers to hdmit that the Psalmist was afraid to remain and stand the consequences of his remark. THE entertainments by the Dramat­ ic Club under the auspices of tiie Mc­ Henry Cornet Band, which was held at Riverside Hall last week (were well at* tended and highly enjoyed by all. In short it was a complete success, both financially aud otherwise. The "For y- Niners" is a beautiful Drama and each character was taken in a manner, that reflected credit ou the actor. On the second evening the Ringwood Band came down, and by their fine music did much to enliven the occasion for which the McHenry Band wishes to return their thanks. On Friday evening the company, accompanied-by the band went over to Wauconda and repeated the Drama In Maiman's Ilall, and was greeted with a large and apprecative audience. And in thio connection the band wish us to return their most sincere thanks to Tidmarsh's Orchestra for the vary sxcellen' music furnished for tiie enter taiumeiit, with the hope that the time may come when they may be able to repav theui in alike manner.

EDITOR PLAINDKALER:--The inmates of the Wheel r homestead were horri­ fied one morning this week by the in­ telligence that they were about to be prosecuted lor protecting their lots in the village by a barb wiro fence. Madam Grunday said a lady had torn and ruined a nice silk dress in passing said lots. The peace-loving citizens were highly Indignant; as much so as was Elder W hee'er 30 years ago when a nice framed nouse was laid in rttiqt one night. The fence on said lots, a decent board fence, shared the same fate at the house a few ulghts ago, and the boards, most of them, walked off some posts and the land being left there still. But not one foot of wire is or has been there. As tbe city lias passed an ordinance that no -tock shall run at large, a fence of any kind would be a useless expend'ture. We trust that the barb wire fever has subsided, with nothing more serious than the ruin of one *ilk dress as the result. MRS. ELDEB WHEELRR.

It is a real pleasure to see the young folks glide gracefully over the floor at Coulmairs, and the proprietor does everything In his pow­ er to make things pleasant for all who attend. It is a graceful exerci^e.and if not c.irried to excess, must be health­ ful. There Is where the trouble lies in this rink business. The sport is so pleasant and exciting that young peo­ ple skate loo lon,j, become over heated and over fatigued, and then, likely as not. go out into the cold air without adequate protection of clothing for the change. Colds aud sickness are the consequences. Skate if you like.young man and your-g woman, but don't carry it to excess. Our excellent Cornet Band are now drilling nightly.

The committee of ladies who have the flora] decorations in charge, met at Dr. Bennett's last Thursday and arranged to have flowers placed upon the graves by young girls and youn£ ladies ap­ propriately dressed, two to each gravf* This will save much time. Heretofore the soldiers have inarched In a body to deposit the flowers on fhe graves, a plan difficult to execu'e on account of the many turns to take, anil the in­ equalities of th* surface; besides, it took i half hour or more of time while the audience wore impatiently waiting for tbe services at the stand. This year the young ladies will head the procession to the cemetery and passirg in at the gate, halt face inward in |wo ranks a:;d receive from the procession whatever flownrs are offered as it march* s between the ranks, and them, while the maiu procession marches directly to the etand, the flower bear­ ers, under guidance or a special mar­ shal will decorate the graves, while the band play an appropriate piece of music. ^ I he Oration^ as before announced, will be delivered by John E. Burton, of Lake Geneva, and we risk nothing in predicting onoVf the finest addresses ever listened to by a Richmon I audi­ ence.
