BISHOP started again for Springfield on Monday. He was pre vented from getting there two w&etfs ago by the snow blockade. EV. H. M. FEGEES, jtarmerly of ohnsbufgh. has been traneftfrred by the Archbishop of Chicago, from Sub­ lette, 111., and placed In charge of the ft German church and congregation at \ Sterling, Whiteside Ceunty. IT is said that a flannel cloth satura­ ted with coal oil. and applied at night to the throat and over the lungs will luvarlably break up the worst cold and cough, If taken in tlmfc, and a few days' care will complet the cure. MOST people forget, although they know better, that they should skate with the mouth elosed. They tire less easily and are not almost breathless when they stop. What tortures the female portion of this world have to endure! THE Washing toft Birthday Party, at 'Grand Hall on Friday evening last, was attended only by about forty-live couples, the extreme cold weather pre- tenting many coming who otherwise would. It was a small but pleasant party. THE two mile roller skating race for the championship of the county, which took place at Woodstock on the 14th, was won by H. B. Throop of Nunda, in nine minutes and thirty-niue seconds. There were tour contestants,, viz: Frank Vosburgh, Richmond, J. Peter­ son. Woodstock, Wm. Roach, Harvard, \and H. B. Throop, Nunda. \THOSE who contemplate learning Shorthand should send for catalogue of books, in all systems, kept by Bowell & HIckcox, Boston, Mass. The following books In Isaac Pitman's system are •uitable for a learner: Teacher, 15 cents; Exercises, 5 cents; Phonographic Reader, 15 cents; Key to Teacher and Exercises, 15 cants i oents. ...» The Lenten SMsen. Wednesday, February the 18th, la noted in the church calenders as HAsh Wednesday," and commences the Lenten season, which lasts forty days, terminating with the festival of East- tr Sunday. The observance of Lent was Instituted by Pope Telephorus, 130 years after Christ, and originally commenced on Sunday. fn the year 487, four days added by Pope Felix III., in order to make the number of the days forty. Ash Wednesday took its name from thfc practic of sprinkling ashes en the heads of penitents who were on that day admitted to penance. East*r is commemorative of the re­ surrection of Christ, and is always the ftrat Sunday after the fourteenth day of the calender 'moon, which happens upon the next after vernal equinox. March 21st. The fact is thus given its peculiar movable character. Lent Is att>o observed by the Protestant Epis­ copal, and to a limited extent by the Lnthern church; Easter is more genen^. observed by all 4$<aolna­ tions. DYNAMITFTM. Just now the world is set agog by the freaks of dynamiters, or dynami- fours as the ed|teur of the Tribune, terms them. Dynamiters are not creatures of to-day or of modern growth. They are not new to the world but older than civilisation It self. Dynamiters are but the same old agents of the devil given a new weap­ on. We have dynamiters In every community. Whoever thro4 envy or malice backbites his neighbor or by whispered slanders seeks to murder the credit of a successful man or the fame of a favored woman Is a dynaori ter. He can do more deadly danger with his Insidious tongue than with nltro-giycerine. and so fails usually to trifle with this less eflective canned ex­ plosive. Dynamiters exist In abund- ancejevery where and of the rankest order. They pursue their nefarious calling constantly and net^content with the mere destruction of property aim at .happiness and reputation with satanlc glee and industry. Assassins are no new order in creation. They are coeval with the downfall of Eden and have grown and multiplied with the race, Civilization has sharpened weapons but dynamiters always have been and always will exist. They are the spirits of the Evil One in hu­ man form. They adopt n<>w agents but the object Is always the same-- Icuin. AN exchange tays men are going 'About among the farmers taking from (hem statistics of their farm products, etc., for a Chicago firm. After the sta­ tistics are written out, the signature of the farmer is taken, just to verify the: statement. Look out, farmers! Youf "verifying" signature may turn up iu a month or two, or less, at the bottom of l AOte for a good round sum. AT the Riverside Skating Rink, on ^Tuesday evening, extra attractions were offered, in the person of Herri- man, the champion long distance pedes­ trian, accompanied by other Athletes, who gave an exhibition of walking and running against skaters, besides a short address by Herri man, giving an account of his great walk across the continent. The hall was well filled, and all were jweH pleased with the entertainment. TH E Railway Advance says: A cor­ respondent writes to know which, in oar judgment, is the safest seat In case of a railroad collision, as he wish­ es to settle a controversy with some friends. From a long and painful study la this matter, and calling toonr aid a ripe experience, we would say, without fear of a successful dental, that the safe seat. In case of a railroad collision, is the top rail of a reliable fence, about four miles in a northeasterly direction from the collision. , THE COST.--The cost of the alam to ;?;«ake cheap Baking Powder, Is abont one-fourth that to the Cream Tarter OSed te make DeLand's Chemical Bak Ing Powder. Alum makes bitter un­ wholesome fopd, and the doctors say "Don't use It." DeLand's Chemical Baking Powder Is sold in cans, and you will never be deceived. It.makes de­ licious, wholesome food, and Is true to w^e^trMttrewon4and true to health. Custom* at Burials. Parishes in New England bury no fnetal with caskets or coffi.is. Metal comprising handles, emblems and sig­ nals suitable for general use are the property of the parish at large and are kept in preservation for continuous demand. Only one digression from the ordinary course pursued characterizes the formula of funerals. The casket taken from the hearse, rests on a beir or bracket till public servlses are concluded, when the procession moves on. The handles and ornamentations are retaken and possessed by the under­ taker for the future {ill needed. Record plates or memorandas being returned to their purchasers which are sacred to those. The remains being deposited by the bearers as ever. Many oomunities by eonveaclon dis­ pense with the fashionable adadge "mourning suits," using no crape, no sombre signals. From my personal familiarity with the action of this system in society, I most heartily recommend it in full to ray former parishes. JOEL WHEELEK.

Albert Besley U home on a visit. A new small boy Is reported at B. Martin's. There was a good crowd again at the masquerade at Swenson's rink Sat­ urday evening. Many of the costumes were exceedingly pretty and tasty, others were less for pretty than they were for queer, while with others, the strong point wa« their ability to do cleve, Mr. Hawley, the agent of the propos ed Chicago and Wisconsin Railroad, has been spending some time in the village of late. About all that can be said of the proposed railroad is, that sometimes we think and then again we don't know. In this case 11 Is evi­ dent that they will pass us by on the other side anyway. Further than that we don't know, but of the several lines that have been talked of through Lake Co. the contest now s«ems te be prac­ tically between two, one crossing the road from Wauconda to Libertyvllle about eight miles from us, near Mr. Holcomb's, being about three miles from LibertyviUe; the other croeslng the same road ac what Is known as Meyer's Corners, about three and one half miles from Wauconda. Should the line be built, a branch to Waucouda will be mno6g the possibilities. Mr. Hawley states the line will certainly be located In a few weeks and the building vigorously pushed. Terms reasonable. MRS. WM. MCCOLLUM, McHenry. 111., Feb. 25th, 188&. A $20*00 Biblical Reward.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--I have been for the past six weeks resisting the temptation to write. I fear I have nearly grieved away the spirit. This morning however, we are fast among snow banks and coal miues on the Illinois river with nothing to de but listen to the miners who are waiting ior freight trains to remove their snr plus coal which has been accumulating during the blockade. This U a new mining town on the Rock Island route. Four years ago there was nothing here Now it Is fairly alive with Industry and thrift. Last week we were blockaded five days. The snow drifts are some­ thing gigantic and the mercury has shown a constant downward tendency ever since we turned our back to the North pole six weeks ago. 30 below is no longer worth mentioning. Trains headed with three engines and a snow plow are daily occurrences. Yesterday at Lake Depu, on the Illinois River, wo witnessed 200 lee men struggling with 26 Inches of crystalized lake for tho summer trade at St, Louis. All the Ice houses were filled and they were load­ ing large nnmber of barges. Think the Imbibers of St. Louis will be able to keep cool next July, To-day we shall go to Ottawa, which is 25 miles North East from here; that is If the train ar­ rives. We meet with very few Com­ mercial men, Concert or Dramatic Companies on the road this winter. Think It Is a good year however for Blind Showmen. Blind Boone, and another blind galoot named Howard, have been showing through tills coun­ try and this Is not much of a swamp for blind tramps either. Well so long for now, R. D. HCOTT. -V Look!

Mr. Fraser, ou the occasion of the funeral of Mrs. Clapsattle, was the most tender, touching, hopeful, sweet discourse we ever listened to. God bless the mau for its conception! His remarks were fouuded o.-t tho words, "Asleep in Jesus for 1 shall shortly put off this earthly tabernacle." It was the first time we ever heard our own faith iu regard to death preaohed Irom the funeral pulpit. Last Friday evening Mrs. Daniel Clapsattle. mother of Alf. Clapsattle, of Richmond, and Mrs. H. Kilburit. of Spring Grove, died al her residence in this village. We are informed that ex­ treme old age was the cause of her death. Mrs. Clapsattle was a quiet and unassuming old lady, much respected wherever known. The mourning faml ly have a general public sympathy. The funeral services were held on Sun­ day the 22d Inst., the burial taking place In the Richmond cemetery. The Harvard Independent his lately secured a correspondent in Richmond, and there ia much speculation and dis­ cussion as to who the scribe may be. Whoever the writer may be, we notice he (or she) wields a very fair Faber, and that so far, the correspondence Is well and grammatically worded. Rich­ mond may claim to have some literary talent, since she fjirnislies correspond­ ents for tour of the county papers, and the work is well done for ail of them. The Herald's correspondent hides un­ der the queer nom de plume of "Ayee- freeyndee," or something of that sort? It Is a jawbreaker to pronounce, but looks as If it meant "a friend."

There is yet a good deal of paralysis of the lower extremeties and he cannot yet sustain his weight on his feet. His fall brought on a prostatitis, and des­ truction of the gland by sloughing, but he ha) already recovered from that complication. It is hoped by his phy­ sician and his friends that lie will soon get the use of liis legs again, but the remote sequelae of po severe an injury of the spine cannot be prognosticated. MARKET FAIR.--The Fairof the Rich­ mond Market Fair Association for the month of February, will be held in the village of Richmond, III., on Thursday, Feb. 26th, 1885. There will be offered for sale the following stock: Fourteen cows and four heifers at auction; one 4-year-old sound horse, which weighs 1270 pounds; one good mare, with foal; a quantity of household furniture. In addition to the above, which has been promised, there will be offered a num­ ber of sheep and hogs. Those having good, heavy draft horses for sale, will do well to show them at this fair, as a buyer from Chicago is expected. Come to the Rlolimond Market Rtlr. It will pay you. From ali parts of the country the papers give accounts of the deaths of aged people. This unusual mortality among the aged is due in a great de­ gree to lowered vitality consequent on the prolonged extremely cold weather. Never in the written history of this part of the country has there before been so cold a February. Since the latter part of January there has hardly been a morning with the thermometer above zero, and most of the time it has been from 6 to 35 below. Such weather takes the vitality out of the very toughest persons and is especially hard aud daneerous for the aged and the feeble. If we are to have such winters as the present, right along, there wiil be little to choose between this climate and that of Man toba. 1 hanks to advertising in the PLAIN- DEALER, that steam atomizer and the long lost battery are recovered. Ad­ vertisers, or those who should be adver­ tisers, should take the hint. The PLAINDEALER is read by more than 500 people of Richmond and vicinity, and is therefore a valuable advertising medium for our citizens. By advertis Ing iu the PLAINDEALER we were able to sell Mrs. E. F. B.
