That is now the question, and let evert*- one answer it by reporting in Wauke- gan oa Wednesday morning next.. IN another column can be found a new advertisement of the tTanesviJle Woolen Mills, to which we invite the attention of our readers, and especially farmers and Wool growers. ELWIN H. BARTLET and wife, wffo were married on the 18th inst. started on Monday morning for Marshal, Iowa, which is to be "their future home. They carry "with tliem the beat wislie6 of a host of friends in this village.. THE Steamer "Athlete" made her first trip to the Lakes on Sunday last, and with the abundance of water now 1 IF the river, runs nobly. She is now ready to take Picnic Excursions or Fishing parties on short notice. AN.. HAN KINS' stable' of thoroughbred Bu lining Horses^ that wintered in this village, were taken to Chicago on Frh- day last, with the exception of one, '".Ammadus^' who was so badly lamed ^in a rsice last season as to be unfit for the turf this year. WEcwould call the attention of those •of our readers in search of bargains to the Auction Notice of J. E. Vasey, Bingwood, to be found in another column. He offers his entire remain­ ing stock in store to the highest bid­ der, as he is bound to close out. WE understand that J- J. Cillis has purchased the store on the East side of Water Street, ift this village, formerly occupied by L. Stoddard, and will im^ mediately fit it up and open a Res­ taurant and Billiard Ilall. He will also build an addition on the South side for a residence. THE Agent for the ̂ 'Little Pilgrim" Washing Machinc, is now in this vil­ lage and introducing this Machine by doing washings at different places. If simplicity is what is needed this must •be a very meritorious machine. IJow- 'ever, we will hear what.the -Indies say after the washing is done, 'OUR new Street Commissioner is do­ ing a good work upon the streets, and "if he keeps on as he lias commenced .McHenry wlll soon have her streets in a condition to compare with the best. „jje commenced at the Bridge and in­ tends to grade and gravel to th*e Depot.

We can assure our veaders in the above named places that Mr. Best is a"first class Baker, and will deliver at their doors anything they may want in the line of Bread, Pies, Cakes, &c., on the days mentioned. OLD Centennial Fourth of July is •Expected to arrive in this village at ex­ actly 12 tf olocfc on the night of the 3d. He will be escorted across the'•border" •by the celebrated Norwegian Band, and afterwards serenaded by the Gagetown 3iiuetrels. Capt. Killsamcuss and his raginufflu troop are also expected here on that occasion. In short look out for a big time in McHenry on the 4th. AMONO the improvements we have to rnotice this week is the putting on of a iiiew roof and painting of the House Dr. H. T. Brown, a handsome new picket fence along the McHenry House lot, the putting tipof the addition to Isaac Wentwortlvs new house, besides other repairs of less note, but neverthe­ less improvements of a substantial aud needed kind. And still the work goes on. ONE week from to-day the Old Set­ tlers Reunion will be held at Waukegan, and from what we can learn from dif- ferant parts of this county there is to be a very general turnout. The ci tizens of Waukegan have made arrangements to accommodate and make it pleasant for all, and with good weather it is certain that the Old.Settlers Reunion *pf 1876 will be long remembered with pleasure by old and young. Let every­ body make it a point to have their (icnapsacks filled and ready for an early %d^|art on the morning of the 7th, and show ©ur neighbors that McHenry coun­ ty is allviHetld bound to keep alive the memories ef titers gone by. WE received, two communications this week-in relation to an item that "appeared in oar Nunda locals last week, but as they take the opposite extremes we have decided to lay them both aside, and let the matter settle itself in some other way. It certainly was not the intention of the item to do any one an injury, and we do not believe contradictory communications from outsiders can be of interest to any. TiiERt. Rer. Wm. E. McLaten Bish­ op of the Diocese of Illinois, will visit Spring Grove, on Saturday, the 3d day of June, for ttfe purpose of consecrating the Episcopal Church there, also to ad­ minister the Rite of confirmation to all wly> may be desirous and ready to be confirmed. The services will begin at 10,30 A. M. A general attendance is cordially invited. PKTKR AKVEDSOK, Missionary in charge, : ' . j ' THE subscription which was started last week for the purpose of fenciug and grading the Public Park, was very successful, and sufficient money has al­ ready been pledged to guarantee that the improvement will be made. With a good substantial fence, walks, and a few Evergreens, we will have as hand­ some ^Park as there is in the county, and we are glad to be .able to announce that thd> work of improvement will immediately commence. Thus one improvement follows another and all are more or less benefitted thereby. FISHING is now good, and those who have the time to handle the line and rod, are enjoying it immensely. The past week parties have been here from Chicago, Elgin, Woodstock, and other places. The Club Houses at the Lak es will soon be full, aud then the general summer campaign will commence. The number of pleasure seekers who will visit the Lakes this season promi­ ses to'be much larger than ever before They are just beginning to find out that there is no place in the Northwest that comes any where near it for hunting, fishing, and general pleasure. , - - _ -=»w « lunJUUB tiro an article in people's opinion jy 0411 got it for nothing.

With Pickles in all stages from the salt to vinegar, and a constant changing from the vats to barrels and bottles, everything was as sweet and free from smell as it could be in a private parlor. All of which proves that Mr. Welsh, the manufactur­ er, is not only the best Pickle maker in the West, but is also a model of good order and neatness. Owing to the fail­ ure of Heinz, Noble & Co., the Wood­ stock firm, to whom they had bargained their last years crop, they have quite a stock on hand, both in vinegar'and salt, but they are all in excellent order, aud are pronounced by good judges to be the best Pickles in the maiket. The brine in the vats is as sweet and clear as when first made. We saw one tub of Pickles that has been in the Factory two years, and are as sound hard and fine as when first made. As we have before said\Ir. Welsh is the '"right man in the right place," understanding the business in all its branches, from com­ mon to mixed and fancy pickles, chow- chow, &c. Messrs Walker & Curtis need have no fear but what their goods will stand well upon the market while Welsh is the manufacturer. This Fac­ tory has contracted for the usual amount of produce this year, and will run on full time during the season. CORN an not more soj where knot so _ Writer. Two or three of 'these are kept busy making letters Us from the country, who de- nticipating the surprise of the ome at receiving news in print omgs of their frienda at THE committee ofArrangements for the Fourth of July Celebration, in this village, are leaving nothing.undone to ensure a grand success, and those of our neighbors who visit us on that occasion can rest assured of a pleasant and profitable time. We have all the natural advantages to accommodate a crowd, such as Steamboats, row boats, cool and shady groves a short distance from the river, and in short everything that one could wish for such an occa­ sion. Some of our best^speakers will bo present, and a .|gst class Band will be engaged-M^ furnish the music. Therefore we say McHenry is bound to get up a celebration that will ^be an honor to the tow it and the Cen­ tennial year. Everybody who wants a good time on the"4th should come to McHenry. DR. A. C. B&LIVof'OFCFE CAUGHT* the "Boss*' Fish in Fox Lake on Friday last. He had been fishing in the Lakes for sevsrs! "ay? sad on Friday after­ noon hAoked one to be a monster^idjjiltn the assistance o£ hr oarsmen, Chester Howard, of this vil­ lage, succeeded in landing him. He measured four feet three inches in length, girted around the center of the body t wenty one and a half inches, and weighed forty-one and qt, half pounds. We are informed that with one ex­ ception this is the largest fisli ever caught in the Lakes. Dr. Bell caught this one with a common line and spoon hook, and that he managed to land him was Irtdeed a miracle. In shape this fish was one of the handsomest we ever saw, large or small, a beautiful speckled long and as fiueJy shaped as any pic­ ture of the finjiy tribe could be. And we can assure onr readers that this is no "fish story," as we saw this one our- self. That there are still larger fish than this in the Lakes, is without doubt true, but one may consider it pure luck to catch one, as very few lines are strong enough to hold them. Dr. Bell took this one to Chicago on Sat­ urday morning, and went home with the firm conviction that there is no such fishing grounds in the West as Fox and Pistaqua Lakes. SPKLUNG KKPOKT.

GREENWOOD EDITOR PLAIN-DEALER:--The gener­ al excitement and interest consequent upon the passing events of the present year furnish ample food for the uatu- rally curious, peculiar American genius, whose constant aim and ambition ap­ pears to be a search for a change of events, something new, some new in­ vention, some new scheme, religious, political or scientific, upon which the constantly expanding egregious Amer­ ican in ind may feed with all the ra­ pacity of its nature seeking to attain tlie acme of perfection, a point which the ever hopeful helplessness of man­ kind never need expect to attain. We have for our present contemplation, Centennialism in every form; we walk, I talk, eat, drink, sleep, and imell Cenr tennially and without doubt many of us dress Centennially, or in other words wear clothes made one hundred years ago, especially if we getshoddied, We IiaVeTsiill farther fof vur aumsement, Presiuentallsm, Beech#rism, Granger- ism^jitthfcathousand aud one other isms, eautiful lovely Spring all aature «cked in her brightest robes of beau­ ty and still we are not happy.

Com­ mittee to report at adjourned meeting Thursday June 1st, at 4 o'clock P. M. Our Honorable President of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Richmond, G. P. Wodell, circulated a subscription among onr citizens and raised the requisite amount to extend the much needed, and long talked of sidewalk from the west line of the Village limits, the present terminus of the walk, to the Cemetery. Men aud leanis are at work grading the ground and preparing to lay the walk* The gentleman is pushing the work ahead so it will be completed before the 30th of May, the day for decorating the graves of onr patriotic dead, which we hope this community will turn out in mass to commemorate. We would suggest this a good time to rep.*ir£ome of our dilapidated sidewalks, and to build new ones on all our main streets. Since writing the above the walk has been completed and we have a good walk, and we would suggest to careless boys and all others that our City Fath­ ers wisely makes it a penal offence to ride, drive, or lead horses, mules or horned cattle, on the sidewalks except at gateways and street crossings, and our Pc^b are on the lookout for reck less, thoughtless ones. A word to the wise Is sufficient. the heaviest we may with nnfaltering faith and trust sar "Thy will be done." He$olved.

Purdy was born in Dutch­ ess County, New York, December 27tb, 1816. He came West hi 1841, and set­ tled in Richmond, Illinois. For about 18 years he was engaged in the mercan­ tile business and for 2 years,, and 10 months he was not able to walk or stand uuon his feet, on account of a paralytic stiola, which affected h!s hip joiuis so as to deprive him of the use of his lower ]lmbs. For about five months past he was confincd to his bed. During all, that two years and ten months he gradually grew weaker, and life ap­ peared to be slowly ebbing. Every­ thing that kind friends could do, was done, the skill and medical aid of the most eminent Physicians was called to his aid, but, from the first, it appeared that death had marked him for his own and he never loosed his grasp, and on the morning of May 16th, at 8£ o'clock, his purified spirit left the tenement of clay, where it had been pent up so long and went to dwell In that Heavenly land, where there Is no paiu nor sorrow, there to be united with loved ones goue before. Mr. Purdy, as a business man, noted for his honesty, uprightness and square dealing; as a neighbor,kind and obliging, ever ready to lend a helping hand in sickness or in time of need. A good citizen, true to his fellow man, to his Country ttud to hie God. A kind indulgent, loving father, an affeotionate true and endearing husband. As a Christian, lie was an unwavering, faith­ ful, every-day Christian, a member of the Methodist Church for twenty years or more, and during that time was Trustee and for several years a Steward. The church has lost a good faithful Brother and one of their best ofHcial members. At a regular communication of Rich­ mond Lodge A. F. and A. M. held Mondsy evening May 22nd, Brothers S. F. Bennett, A. R. Alexander and John McDonel being appointed a com­ mittee for the purpose, reported the following preamble and resolutions which were, on motion adopted. Whereat, It has pleased our Heaven­ ly Father to call our honored Brother, William H.
