From DPC0fsr,


THE TRUE NonTHRRHER.-Dy far the most
agreeable occasion which 1t has been the pleas
ure of the winter hereof to enjoy, took place at
the residence OF Mr.. and Mrs. Z. p. Hill in this
village on the evening of Saturday last, upon
the thirtieth anniversary Of their wedding day.
In response to humerorI invitations about
fifty OF the more intimate T. D.; nds Of Mr. and
Mrs. Hill met at their residence.
The occasion will long he remembered by
those who wers present as one OF socabIhty
and rational enjoyment without single breach
OF decorum. The evening was spent in con-
versation relieved n times by good music until
about nine O'Clock when the gueets were invit-
cd to partnke OF . most sumptuous repast, such
as very few can equal and none surpass. After
partsdng OF the delicacies OF the table the
guests removed to the parlors where congratu-
latory sddressesfwere delivered by Capt. Hen
dryI, j. Coleman, J. j. Sherman and j. b..
| Upton, which were heartily responded to by
! the assembl cd guests. The gathering was pro-
longed far INTO the evening and when the
| friends dispersed thors was but one feeling,
and that was that they had never attended .
more profitable and interesting gathering than
the present. In one Of the addresses the
speaker remarked that "he attributed the
large gathering OF friends there to the fact that
in all the vast acquaintance. Of Mr.. aud Mrs.
Hill tb.y had not single enemy" In proof
Of this We cite the following facts:
| The honored host aud hostess moved TO Do
ca,ur in April, 1885, after which Mr.. Hill was
engaged in the Stave business for few years.
He has held the Office o; Supervisor Of the
! town OF Decatur for five consecutive years,
after winch he was elected to the Office OF
! Register OF Deeds OF Van Buren, County, which
he filled to the entire satisfaction Of the whole
/ people during hi. term oiofice. lIe Afterwards
as.l-t.d in establishing tho First National
B.uk " Decatur, aud was it's Cashier for about
two years. at tho expiration OF which time he
formed /. co-partnership with l.. I. Rawson,
Esq, in the purchase Of grain in which busI-
ness they have met with very catering sue
GEES. In conclusion the writer thinks he shares
the general wish Of the numerous friends OF
Mr. and Mrs. Hill, that in their declining years
they may share richly the blessings of life and
the favor OF friends until they shall be gathered
to that bourne from whence no traveller re
turns. l..

ON the night Of the 18th inst tho burglars

Howard stands Mr.. Williams, who will without
the least doubt be elected by large Republican
majority, and represent the fifth District Of

The weather yesterday was one of the best argu-
ments for any and all rapid transit schemes wheth
er underground. overground, or submarine that has
ever been presented for the consideration of suffer-
lug public. From dawn to nghtfal the city was
wrapped in blanket offog and under the influence
of a rising temperature and an April-hke rain the
ramparts of snow with which the sidewalks were
lined disappeared by magic. and the streets them
selves became literally sloughs and canals.
Never perhaps in the history Of the city were the
streets in 80 terrible condition. Traffic and travel
were obstructed quite as much as they were on the
day of the Christmas Storm and even the mails
were behindhand. As consequence of the snow
blockade, the markets are overstOcked with poor
meats and produce
Ferry-boat navigation was exceedingly perilous
owing 10 the fields of ice that stretched from shore
to shore and especially to the density of the fog.
Only two collisions were reported i'll the harbor,
however and no loss of life occasioned although
the delays during the day were very vexatious.
The incidents of the day in the streets and on the
river were very striking but happily no fatal casu
alties reported the direct result of the abnor
NAL condition Of the streets and sky.
