A TERM of frigidity succeeds the
April weather and sea of mud that pre-
vailed last week. The roads are frozen
hard, and are again passable. The far
mers are again bringing in their pro-
duce freely, and the wheels of business
which had come to dead rest, are again
revolving. It needed just such an ex-
perience as the last few weeks to give
give the people Of town and county a
realizing sense Of how much they are
mutually dependent upon each other.

i The great wheel Of time has slipped
another cog, and no more arc we permit.
ted to say 1877. The new year, 1878
looms up before us in all the glory and
splendor Of an imaginary mind, and
what may be in store for us in the days
to come is as blank as it has been here
tofore We look back over the past
year and sec many defective points in
our life, and think an improvement nee
essary. Yet these reforms cannot be
made by resolutions alone-it needs
something more-a will Of our own.
We sit and wonder where we will be one
year from to-day-what we will be do
ing-and thousand other questions
come to our mind, and we wish for an
answer; but with these questions ans
wered, we would be the most unhappy
mortals on the face Of the earth 1t is
this ignorance of the future that keeps
us every day active striving to accom-
plish some great end. Were we to know
our whole future prospects it would be-
little us-make us no longer men and
women, and, in fact, there would be
nothing to live for.
The day, a most beautiful one, was
generally observed throughout our city.
At the eleventh hour the custom of
making calls made itself manifest among
our young people, and without any elab-
crate preparations on the part of either
sex, the pleasant task commenced. The
young ladies met in groups of three and
four and entertained the gentlemen to
their entire satisfaction This habit of
several Of the ladies meeting together in
one place to receive calls is met with
approval by all, as it enables the young
men to Finger little longer" The
following is list of ladies who received
calls, as far as we have learned:
At the residence of r. Bartle, Misses
Addie and Carrie Bartle, Ida Smith and
Miss Ross.
At the Empire House, Misses Kate
and Emma Raymond, and Ella Herrick.
At the home of the former, Misses
Lizzie, Minnie and Matte Sherwood, and
Gertie What.
At the residence Of G. NJ. Durham,
Misses Maude Durham, Rose Dickson,
and Marilda Hollett.
At the residence of F. d. Jackson,
Mrs Frank Jackson, Mrs. Jackson and
Mrs. Patrick.
Several others, who were were favor
cd with calls without having made prep
arations to receive them, were: Misses
Ella Stout, Hattie Freeman, Jessie o.
der, Miss Luckcy and Mrs. Arch Smith.
In the evening the Misses Raymond
gave party at their residence, the EN-
pire House, and goodly number of
guests enjoyed their hospitality. A re-
ception at the residence of Miss Maude
Durham. in honor of friends from Wis
consin, was most delightful affair and
we'll worthy the occasion.
On the same evening the members Of
the Baptist Sunday School gave sur
prise party to their pastor, the Rev.
James Patterson, and like all such oc-
casions, was duly appreciated and en-
joyed by all concerned.

THE KNIGHTS BANQUET.-This long
looked for event came off as arranged
on Friday evening last, and so far as
everything but numbers was concerned,
was a grand success. Friday morning
opened dark and cherries, with the rain
falling quite fast. But Notwithstanding
this drcary prospect, about twenty Sir
Knights were in attendance from abroad
with ladies', who were determined on
having joyous occasion, be the wealth
err what it might, and we must say that
they were entirely successful, as every
one who attended voted the affair one
of the pleasantest ever held in our city.
The music was furnished by Northrop
& Hulitt's Beloit band, one of the finest
organizations of it's kind in the North
west. The supper, too, was prominent
feature, and must not be omitted. 1t
was gotten up in Leytze's Hall, by A.
H. Frank, and was assuredly a delicious
feast. Though the affair, generally
speaking, was a disappointment to the
managers, they are fully alive as to the
cause of it, and are convinced that with
good weather they would have had ev-
cry reason to be satisfied, which fact
will encourage them to try the venture
again at some future time

AT the last meeting Of the Board Of
Directors of our Free Public Library
the librarian, Miss Jordan, was removed
and Mrs. NJ. H. Sanford substituted in
her place. We have not learned the
cause that brought about this change
but it is safe to say that it was not in
efficiency on Miss Jordan's part, for the
Board directed her letter of thanks
acknowledging and approaching her ex-
cellent services as librarian. The new
librarian will doubtless find the affairs
Of the library in perfect order.

VIGILANCE REwARDED.-The affair
we mentioned last week of one Of our
jokers being joked, so far from squelch-
ing his proclivities in that direction,
seems rather to have kindled the flame
of his retributive powers. He has al
ready balanced the score with one OF
them 1t was in this manner: Leaving
copy of a supplement to Harpers Ba-
zar on the table where it would not fail
to be seen, he sat down and awaited re-
suits. Soon in came the very person he
wished, and seeing the pattern paper in
quired what it was. Being Informed
that it was new railroad map of the
United States, he evinced considerable
interest, and putting on his glasses, sat
down and commenced to study it. He
looked it over for nearly half an hour,
endeavoring to trace the different
"rou ties" to termination, and finally
gave it up, saying he didn't see why
they made maps nowadays SO that or
binary men couldn't understand them.
He has not yet been undeceived, and on
" when he reads this notice will he full
" realize that he has been most en-
phatically sold.

Hayes policy, as also its general char
actcr for high-toned morality; and wish
you abundant success"
