NEW YOKK. May 6th, The Utica Herald says that although the exports took up quito cleanly all the new stock in New York last week the market for cheese Still tends down? ward. This is attributed to the ex­ treme earliness of the season and the anticipated production of larger quan­ tities than ever before. A comparison of prices with former years gives the following results: April 30,1877. cheese told at 14jc.; May 7,14£c.; May 14, 15c. April 15.1878, the price was 12|.; April 22,12|c.; April 29* 12$e* la this the Herald sees a downward tendency that meaus lower prices for cheese than have been known in many years. BUTTER.--The Price Current gives the following stat^uei^t the situa­ tion on butter, which is anything but encouraging. v., j; Receipts for week ending Hay 3, 24,- 086 package?. The supply of State butter has continued excessive and re­ ceivers have been compelled to steadi­ ly reduce prices in the eflort to create a sufficient demand to prevent an accu­ mulation. The ftevHus is about 4c, for the week, and creamery stock lias led the decline. J i The general impression is that the bottom is not reached. We shall have an increase of western to fully com­ pensate any holding back of State which the low prices may induce.-- Welsh tubs, best, 18@19c; good to prime, 17(gl8c.; creamery, best, 22@22e half tub», good to prime, 18@ 19c.

WMMdOOK. On Wednesday evening, May 8th, WW, a large concourse of friend* and relatives of the bride and groom, many of whom came a long distance for the cspeeial purpose, had the pleasure of participating In the enjoyment of the nuptial festivities at the wedding of Miss Lois Freeman, of Genoa Junc­ tion, Wis., and A. 12. Baldwin,formerly of Greenwood, 1)1., at present a resi­ dent of Toulon, 111. Tim weddiug was held at the residence oft he bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wn, Freeman, In <3cnoa. and,as for tlie enjoyment of the occasion, it wa* a perfect success, Fer that reason and on acccttnt of the prominence and favorable deputation of each member of the happy couple, we take pleasure iw having It afrbt* than merely "u»ti«fc&* . «, Promptly at the hour mentioned in the Invitations, tiie friends and rela­ tives assembled In the house which, theugh spacioos, was tflfed to overflow­ ing--an assemblage of persons well fitted to sympathise lu the new coali­ tion of two youag lives and heighten the pleasure of the first few moments of that union by their presence. The solemn ami, if possible, more than usu­ ally impressive ceremony was per­ formed nearly at 8 o'clock, p. Rev. F. J. Douglass officiating, after which the husband and wife were deeply en­ gaged in receiving the heartfelt felici­ tations and God-speeds of their friends for a long time. T|iS Attention of all was then turned tb tli^ evening^ 'gen­ eral enjoyment which include<i closer inspections of the presents with which a larga table was ladon--friendships offerings of value for utility iihd orna­ ment. lu justice to the guests let it be said that the refreshments did not "go a begging." They came pleutcously and found plenty of friends to receive them. The time was thence occupied with a discussion of the edible and potable delicacies attended by a flow of cheer­ ful conversation which was broken only, but frequently, by the peal of merry laughter that rewarded the jest and bqn toot, until at last substantial.® and goodies were much the less on ac­ count of the warm recept ion they had met. During the evening. Prof. H. M. Soper, of Chicago, read a: tlrrllling piece descriptive of some imaginary [ hostilities betweeu a timid good wife and an aggressive mouse, the rescue by a brava husband and the tragic end of the aggressor. While the j)iece was being honored by being so well read and so well appreciated by the listen­ ers, it was plainly seen Uiat a little fleeting pleasure was only the ostensi­ ble reason of ltd being read, while a much weightier reason -was the real one. It was intended tb be advisory in its emblematic, and instructive iu its analogical sense. It convej'ed a lesson teaching how the new family ought to act should that fear-creating '•varmint," the mouse, ever make his advent aud break Iu upon the peaceful quietness of their future home. Be­ sides, it showed how the mofit terrific foes of domestic peace may be van quisbed if "they twaiu" are always allies. At not a very late, hour, the guests took leave of their host and' hostess, of the bride and groom and departed feeling indebted to them fer a most enjoyable evening. It is useless to at­ tempt the repetition of the wishes, hopes and expectancies that were ex­ pressed for they were matiy. They were the same as an appreciative cir­ cle of friends always feels for two of its number whom it can esteem and lave for their'sterling worth. As soon as arrangements Oan be per­ fected, which will be in a -day or two, and parting visit* be * made, Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin will go to their home in Toulon where he has entered upon the labors of his medical profession. As new associations and new friendships are formed, we hope and expect that in the hearts of anr brother and sister there will ever be places sacredly de­ voted to OLU FRIENDS. Aprtl tru 1378.

BKMIKIKEHCK OF OLD TintKS AGAIN EDITOR PLAINDEAJ.EE:--In "Remin­ iscences of Old Times" and over the signature of "Auld Lang Syne," I find many Interesting things to remind tne of departed days, "departed never to return." In imagination I gaze on fa­ miliar faces of a quarter of a century ago. I meet the writer, (it* I mistake not) a tall young man, with blue eyes and light complexion, just a* he ap­ peared. in those days of which he writes. In his continued communica­ tions, he has given the reader political pecuniary aud amusing changes of the little town, but he has left a history un written. He has told us of attorney and client, landlord and tenaut, teach tr aud pupil* but has failed to tell us of the prominent part the ladies acted during those years. I have been watch­ ing for an article In your interesting columns, from the pen of a lady writer. Where are the voices that once breathed In musical strains, "Meeting, Of the Waters?" Has time laid them away to be here no mpre forever, or have they, like thd writer of this, buried their talent. ,, $• Uncle Sam's Harness Oil fills and closes the pores of leather, effectually presenting the entrance Of dampness, dust, &e,, and rendering the harness soft and pliable, while at the fame time Hfrrea«»*n<» H«» durabilitv. sold by to"1*68 im, McHENRY ILL., Hare a complete »toek ,of | - • vrii : y&ii fURHITURI & HARDWARE.
