VATV SLTKK, Killtor • nMf «S ' :p4- r 4/. • %; •*' THIS Ol.D M6TTLKKS MEETING AGAIN. In re faring to this matter again this week we do io, not for the purpose of keeping up a controversy, for no one deprecates the fact that an occasion haa nrisfen for it more than ourselves, but to correct misstatements that have been made, some by honest misflnder- §1 standing of the facts* and others from If i pure cussed lies?, knowing that what they stated was not so. What we ata- ; ted Jast week was facts, and that, too, • put In a very mild form. In answer to us. we'find In last week's Democrat an article over the signature of Nelll \ Donnelly, in which he says: " I see by report of the PLATinroAiim oft _ the old settlers* moating, aoharge that Wood- stock fittied to fuiiill promises ir.cicjc, r.aiuclv, 'v?> 'that hay anil oats should b« free and the fair- ' fi grounds opened to the parties visiting thia "if! *Hv on that occasion.' The committee of arrangements appointed by the citizens of * #. % Wood stock, to attend to the "affairs of the late |g«! set t iers meeting, would like to know who if:5 *ir.:ido the' above promise to (he executive ' ' ̂committee at McHenry, when they met to ; . jarrange for the kite meeting. Woodstock had no agent authorized to make atty such ar­ rangements at that time." In answer to this we give tie following -8extract from a letter received from J. H. Johnson, President of the Associa­ tion, tinder date of June 17tb, three days after the meeting: J. VAN SLVKE, Secretary 6ld Settlers s$g Society: nlgj Dear Sir:--Yours of dato is just ^received, and in reply will say I made ||i the statement before the last meeting Ik, of the Executive Committee that our JHcitizens here proposed to keep the V.*• teams that came to the meeting free of ;5pexpense,'arid 1 was so instructed to do VAby two well known prominent and I??active citizens of this plaee. ^ ' Yonry Truly. *•': . J. H. JOHNSOJT. • aboyg we think will have (be ^tendency to enlighten Mr. Donnelly as l ̂ to who made the promise, if he did not know before, (which we think he flid.) Further on Mr. Donnelly says: ' < "I have never seen it advertised in print, -Ssfvfor informed by the party makiug the ar r^rangiMnents, (if any such partvexisted, which . "^-1 dispute), that a promise of this kind had been made. If we had known it, it Would have been lived up to, to the letter, as we had •plenty of money left to pay all such." Now we do not believe he expected any one to believe the above statement. The tacts are it was advert ised at dif­ ferent times for two months before the meeting in these columns, and we do not believe there -are ten men in McHenry or Lake Counties but who Will say to-day that they saw it. And w% have heard it stated that it was so 'sjg' advertised in the Democrat, but of this ifi we know nothing. But that It was so ^ advertised for weeks before the meet­ ing, and no exception taken to it by Mr. Donnelly or any other member of the Committee, is a fact, and that Mr. Johnson was authorized to make the : ̂ statement to the Executive Committee '^f§ij| no sensible man will for a moment doubt. We do not wish to be understood to say that the citizens of Woodstock were Ml responsible for this, but we do say that the Committee were grossly negligent of duty, and now that the people are indignant, are attempting to saddle th* responsibility on t* other ofttcera of the Association. Mr. Donnelly says that the man who they left to take care of - the Fair Grounds was instructed "to let all > teams go in free, if the party had their own feed." Now we have the word of reliable men that they drove their team to the Fair Grounds and were forbidden putting them into a stall un> til they had paid 25 cents. Was this the blasted hospitality * of the Com­ mittee of Arrangements# Was there wany thing wrong about this matter?" In closing hl« article Mr. Donnelly attempts a side-handed hit at the Sec­ retary of the Association by stating that the people were charged 50 cents each for Badges. Now in making this statement Mr. Donuelly k»eur that he ; was stating that which was not true.-- He was the first man who put his name down as a member of the Association on that day, at which time it was stated to him that no charge was made for Badges, but that there was a fee of SO cents in order to become a life mem­ ber. He also came before the Secre­ tary afterwards in company with J. S. Wheat, when the statement was again made, apparently to their entire satis­ faction. Such quibbling by a Com­ mittee te get rid of a responsibility which justly belongs to them is un worthy of men. Had the President, Mr. Johnson been seconded In his ef­ forts, there would have been ne cause fer complaint. As we said in the beginning we have no inclination to continue this contro­ versy, and shall not do so unless in self defense. The facts stated are well known and can be substantiated by i#fiidavifc if necessary. The truth h*» mit half been told. "M , LATfc DAIRY MARKKT8. KBW YORK, June 2ith, 1878. The market ts at a standstill. The receipts of cheese were 104,000 boxes, and the top price is 8$c. In 1876 and 1877, at this time, cheese sold tor 11c. The London demand for white cheese seems to have stimulated its produc­ tion beyond the demand, and to-day it Is at a discount with importers In com­ parison with colored cheese, which Is the favorite among Liverpool buyers. The general Impression seems to be that the Upward tendency has reached its limit snd will go no higher. UTICA, N. Y., June «<th, J87S. The Utica Herald sijys of the cheese market Monday: "This has been a field day on the Utica market. Noth­ ing like It has ever before been known. Prices had@ nothing to do with it. Cheese were brought forward simply because they were on hand and must be disposed of. The offerings upon the register numbered 8,300 boxes. This oetOiiiiuiiig to bfgiii with. But when two moderate buyers re­ ported 5,000 cheese between them, it began to be apparent that an enormous quantity was in the market to-day. The prides were slightly lower than last week. Buyers declined to pay prices which would entail a loss upon them, as was the case a week ago. Taking the New York market for a basis it will be seen that our factories brought all that oar purchaser's could possibly afford to pay for them. The commissioned cheese numbered 4,855 boxes. The actual sales amounted to 10,732 boxes. Making a graud total of 15,587 cheese.** It is not probable that this'will ever be surpassed on this market. Prices were as follows: 100 boxes at,?£c; 380 at 7|c; 103 at 7£c; 1,819 at 8c; 290 at 8^c4,364 at 8$e; 510 at 8fo; 2,155 at 8|c; 259 at 8$u. The quotations for the week are therefore: extremes,7£@8|e; average, 8}c; leading factories, 8{c. LITTLE FALLS, N. Y., June 24th, 1878. The market has been quite active at about last week> prices. The main feature of difference is in the relative standing of white and colored cheese. All buyers made a difference in favor of colored stock. Some did not want to take white cheese at all, while others made a difference irT price of J@}c per pound. The sales aggregate the largest amount sold here at any market day this season. Following is a list of the sales: 104 boxes at 7Jc; 215 at 7}o; 2,264 at 8c; 6,170 at 8£c. About 800 boxes were sent forward on commissionjmd private terms. Total. 11,571 boxes. Thirty»pne tubs of but­ ter were sold, mostly at 16c and 17c, BOSTO*. June 31th, 1878. Butter is steady and has been in fair demand; sales at l#@18o pound for choice New York and Vermont J f8@ 20c for creameries; and 13@l5c for fair to good.

It is reported that they have been preparing fer the outbreak for some months, and that they are now rapidly concentrating. They have ac­ cumulated stores and provision suffi­ cient to last them along time, are well supplied with arms and ammunition, and have strongly secured and forti­ fied themselves. Already they have made devastating raids on the 'eastern frontier of Oregon, so that families iu large numbers have had to. leave home and property and flee for their lives.-- The governor of Oregon has asked aid of the national government, which will be promptly supplied. Meanwhile, the small portion ot the army at hand is doing what is possible to protect citi­ zens and estop further raids, while militia is being formed and armed in the threatened districts.
