At the age of 18 he was converted to God, and began the work of the Ministry two years later in the Erie Conference of the M. E. Church. It was in the days when ministers travel­ ed long circuits on horge-back, preaching at several appointments on the way. He was one of the pioneer preachers who did so much in shaping the character of onr nation. In 1840 he was married to Celestia Norton, at Chester, Ohio. Five years later he felt it his duty to retire from the traveling connection and con­ tinue his work as a local preacher. In 1855 he moved to hlsjniinois home where e spent the remaining days of his life, rother Bassett was a man who enjoyed the respect of everyone. He was thorough­ ly Christian in all his dealings, which fact is the highest eulogy that can be given to any man. His rare intellectual pow­ ers combined with a deep spiritual nature made him always a power for good both in the church and out, , , ^lie leaves a wife aud two children, a son Wilbur F., and a daughter, Mrs. Magoon, of Elgin, HI. The funeral was held Jan. 10th, in a school house near the home farm. He was buried in the cemetery about foar miles west ol Mc- Hepiy. % C. W.

But may we not believe that this priceless gem, snatched from the home she had made so happy, has now been gathered as a beautiful rose­ bud, where there shall be no blight, and no broken ties of affection, henceforth to grow in purer beauty, and stronger goodness and larger life, under the cul­ ture of God's good spirit, to beoneof the chiofestjoys of the household, a glory shining in the heaven.

While this is the season in which we least expect to see cobwebs floating in the air, yet all who visit the City Hall on the eve of February 3d will .be surprised to see that the busy little insects that weave those intricate meshes have been busy at work even in this wintry weather. 4 All are cordially invited to come and join in the unweaving of the webs. Please remember date and place, City Hall, February 3d. J Almost a Fire. ^ I McHenry narowly escaped adkmetrou fire on Sunday afternoon last. Between six and seven o'clock fire was discovered in a store room, in the rear of H. C. Smith's Block on the weet side, and it was only by the most prompt action that a serious and disastrous conflagra­ tion was prevented. How the fire start­ ed is a mystery, as no one was known to have been in that room since early in the morning. From appeirances it evident­ ly had started near the wall of the main building, and when discovered had burn­ ed through the siding, ran up the ceiling, burning a hole through the roof. In the room was a quanity of Kerosene Oil, boxes full of straw that had been used for packing, a large quanity of liquors, and other inflamable goods Had the fire once got under headway the whole business portion of the west side would have been in ruins.. As it was it was discovered just in time. Mr. Smith's loss will be about f *200. Nunda Department.

RINQWOOD] For the benefit of the foreign readers of the PLAINDEALKR who once were resi­ dents in this locality, we note the contin­ ued winter weather. We h»ve had si no winter set iu, steady cold weather, ami during the past three weeks mercury has bung below zero most of the time. Snow fell to improve the sleighing, already good since New Years, and to-day th<- air is full "of the fleecy matter. Wind south and southeast by turns and pres­ ent indications are prophetic of contin­ ued storm with probably rain to finish. The winter so far is remarkable, here at least, for the healthfulness of the inhabi­ tants. Mrs. F. L. Carr and little boys have re­ turned from a visit at Grandpa and Grandma Neville's, Wauconda. During the visit Mrs. C. was the guesser in aeon- test for a pretty lamp. There were a number of good guesses but the lucky one was Mrs. Carr. R. E. Stenzel and Ed. Carr have rr- turned from Twin Lakes where they have been at work on the ice. Our merchants, J. W. Cristy & Son, are to the front again in the flour trade with Pillsbuty's Best at fl.15 aud other grades accordingly low. For flour and feed at bottom prices go to Cristy & Son On Monday last we were shown Jas. G. Blaines books, "Twenty Tears in Con­ gress," in two volumes, and "Political Speeches and Discussions" in one. The books are the most remarkable produc­ tions of the greatest statesman of this age, and should be in the libraries of all thorough readers and thinkers, regard­ less of party affiliation. The first men­ tioned work is the most fair and unbias­ ed account of 'he causes that led to the stormiest period of our history as a nation, and of the means applied and the ends attained by them. There are too many empty-headed, blatant politicians who would talk with more accuracy and seeming common sense by a careful stud v of these works or of "Benton's Thirt.s Years Review." If you wish the pure De­ mocracy of the soundest of Democrats, post yourself some way, and have reason as long as you live to be grateful to the source of those good things, good men who write good books. A letter just received from Felix Men­ delsohn, who attended echool at Oak Lawn Academy here, and is now Assist­ ant Secretary to the Second Vice Presi­ dent of the Illinois Central Railroad com­ pany, says: "We have just bought another road and are very busy at present." The above is characteristic of Felix, and those who remember him will be glad to note his position. He has had his salary twice increased since his em­ ployment, and will soon be known^s an officer of the road. Success to Felix. This is just +be time of year that agents for foreign Nurseries are reaping their harvest. Don't forget that we have a good Nursery atRingwood.

Os- sian Congdon. seated at the head of the speaking table and acting as toast mas­ ter gave a toast to the "young ladies," which was very appropriately responded to by Miss Clara Beckley who gave a toast to the "young gentlemen."
