DOUOHERTT. Agent for the Elgin Citizen, called at our ekfcctum on Thurs- day. . REMEMBER the Harvest Party at the Riverside House, on Friday evening of next week, the 25th. OWING to the -crowded state of ou r columns we are obliged to leave over two interesting communications, but « they will not spoil by age they will ap^ar next week. AN officer from Wisconsin arrested a man at the Depot on Monday 011 a charge of robbirg a safe at Geneva Lake. He was taken to Richmond for examination. THE sun's rays focus 011 the earth about this season of the year; and those 4re the mysous for its being hot enough to scorch a paper collar. i;:" ! THE newest thing in necfc-wear arte the campaign neckties. They are white, with the names of the Republican or Democratic Presidential nominees oh each end, and are calculated to save a good deal of time and trouble in find­ ing out what a man's political senti­ ments are. • .'.J:* /- F. A. HEBARD being the lowest bid­ der was awarded the Contract for building the Fence around the Public Square. We understand that he .will commence the work at once. THE business at the Pickle Factory for this season is now beginning to open up, the receipts the past week be­ ing about 100 bushels per day, and this week it is expected will be much lar­ ge CHAS. ROUSE'S Barber Shop has been removed from the Parker House Bloc£ to Gieseler's Block, where his custom erg can hereafter find Charley ready to give you a good Shave or Hair Cut 011 short notice. THXSE are the days when 'tis pleas- ant to go forth into the open aTf and lie on the cool green grass Tunder the wide spreading elms, and, with a soul attuned to nature's harmonies float off into pleasant dreams, and pretty soon wake up with a bug in eacli ear, a swarm, of red hot ants feeling after your heart strings and a grasshopper up your trowsers-leg. , . FIRE IN SOLON. ' The residence of R. L. Turner,at Solon, was burned on Friday night last. The fire broke out about one o'clock, and so rapid did it spread that only a portion of the furniture was saved, Mr. Turner's family losing nearly all their wearing apparel. It is supposed the flre was caused bjr a defective flue. Loss $3,500 No insurance. , r > , MM)A REPUBLICAN CAlCjLSf.

But eveu when a boy has determined to do wrong, his conscience only sleeps to awaken again. The appearance of an earnest dog will awaken so many consciencious'scruples in a boy that he will depart in repentant haste from a neighbor's orchard, careless of the tact that the basement of his pantaloons is leit fluttering from the pickets of the fence. O. BISHOP is making some good im­ provements in and around his Ware­ house. He has talcon away the staging and stairs from the front, and is now treating the buildings to acoa' of Paint wlilch will much improve their appear­ ance. Y WHILE in Volo the other day we saw a man (we have forgotten his name,) who had a German Prayer Book that was one hundred and eight years old. The book was in a good state of preser­ vation, and was indeed a relic "of ye olden times." JOHN LANSING has leased the Hay Press near the Depot, enlarged the building, and intends to immediately commence Pressing.Hay,onan extensive scale. As there is a large crop this sea- eon we doubt not that it can be bought at very low figures. , /THE last conumdrum out is this: If Eternal Vigilance is the price of Lib­ erty, what is a horse worth that refuses to budge another inch when two miles from town and 3*011*ve got j'our girl in? And then to have another fellow try to run off"with the girl while you walk in after another horse! As will be seen by an advertisement in another column and flaming Posters on our streets, G. W. Collins & Co's Great National Menagerie and Colios- seum will exhibit in this place 011 Thurs­ day of next week, the 24th. This is said to be a No. 1 Exhibition. Read the advertisement in another column. LOT one Block one, West McIIenrv. consisting of one acre, which was ad­ vertised in the PLAINPEALKR for sale, was sold on Saturday last to E. Herbes, for the sum of $225. Mr. Herbes pro­ poses to build a residence early in the spring. It is one of the handsomest building places in the village. PRAIRIE Chickens and Ducks are now lawful game, and hunters are plentier than fiddlers in tophet. Several par­ ties from Chicago are now at the Lakes and nearly every train brings one or more, with gun, dog and other accout- riments. ready to deal death to the feathered game. It is said that both Ducks and Chickens are plenty this sea- 1 son. MR. SUTTON, who livps South of this village, left at thin office one day last week an ear of corn that was pfcVfectly filled out and fully ripe and hard. This looks as though there would be less soft corn than last year. Unless a frost comes within the next three weeks (which with the present warm weather seems almost impossible.) the corn crop will be the best that we have had for years. HENRY EHLE, of Hebron, who is candidate for Sheriff, made us a call one day last week. He was looking up his Interests in this part of the County, and reports the outlook encouraging He assumes us that if he should be elect­ ed and by any misfortune we should fall into his hands he will treat us as well as the law will allow. AH rigli' friend Ehle. we'll bear that in mind in ca«e of emergency. GIESKLKK <FC EVANS'I'OX is the name of the new firm at Gieseler's old stand near the De,pot. The new member of the firm is Mr. John Evanston, former­ ly in trade at Nun da, and who is well and favorably known to , the bhying public in that part of the County. The store is under the charge of Mr. Evans ton. who has rearranged it throughout and put in a stock of Drv Goods, Gro­ ceries, Boots, Shoes. Hats and Cap* second to none* and the new fi-m will no doubt receive a share of the public patronage. Read their advertisement ,elsewhert in this paper. BLAKE & BRO., Furniture dealers have removed to th<Mr new Store, on the corner opposite the Brick Church, which they have filled up with one of the largest stocks of Furniture ever brought to this market, to which they invite the attention of the public They have now one of the best ar­ ranged, stores to be found in the coun­ ty, built expressly for their business, which they invite the public to £t^nd^examir,e. Everything in their line warranted as represented. Read their advertisement in auother column. - THE Sale of Pickles advertised for Saturday last came off at the Factory, the Stock being bought by Curtis & Walker and George Hanley. at price* ranging from 34 to 36 cents per bushel. Under the care of that model manu- taeturer, J. F. Welsh, the Pickles now in the Factory, that have been kept two years, are as hard and sound as when first made. As we have said be­ fore Welsh has few equals and 110 su­ periors in the manufacture of Pickles of all kinds, never having lost a bushel of Pickles since the "Factory started, and his Pickles always bringing the highest price in the market. THE "'Prairie Blues" is the name of a new Base Ball Club just organized at Volo, and who, after a few days prac­ tise felt confident that there was noth­ ing in that section at least, that could get away with the 11*1. "Ed Payne's Scrubs" thought different and the result of the . dillerence of opinion was a match game on Saturday last, which resulted in a'score ot 45 to 22 in favor of the "Scrubs." "Ed" ia now happy, but the woe begone countenances of the "Blues" are sad,to behold. They are now continually singing "Of all the sad words that rhyme with jaws, the saddest are these--it mi^lit have was." OUR friends in the West part of the village mean to be'safe, if Safes will make them so, from fire, burglars or "any other man." On Saturday last the firm of Smith & Snyder put in a No. 8 Mosher. Bahmann & <'0. Safe, weighing 1,800. B. Gilbert put in one of the t<ame make, No. 4; weight 1.500. And Joe Wiedemann put in one No. 2. weight 1.100. These are said to be the best Snfes WMV in the market, and light-fingered gentry can Hereby take notice that they can carry off no more ot "Tips" old Government clothing, Ilalters. Saddles. &c.. as he is going to put them all in that new Safe. Volo Cornet Band.

We called in there 011 Monday and saw, some of the finest Harnesses that has come under our. observation for,a long time. Two sets* of Single Harness particularly at­ tracted our attention. They are made of a new and tasty pattern. Nickle Trim med,with the patent Centennial Buckle, which is certainly^'one of the neatest of the kind we ever saw. The material is t'le best, while the work­ manship cannot be sm passed in the X orthwest. These Harnesses are hand­ somely stamped and stitched through­ out, and should be seen, as we cannot begin to do them justice- in describing them. Mr. Gregory has also 011 hand a good stock of common Harness, both single and double, which he is selling as low as auy in the country. He uses none but the best of stook, and doing all the work himself, has 110 hesitation in warranting his work in every panHci^ lari When iii want of a uew Harness do not fail to give Gregory a call. G R E E N W O O D 1 KMFOU PLAIN DEALER:--Many and various are the diseases of which the flesh of man is heir to. Malaria, Pesti- euce and disaster, destroy the lives of t housands annually, while the'Thousand and one little ills; of contageous and noncontageous diseases, claim and have their full share of fatalities. There are many new diseases that are appar­ ently contageous, that baffle the skill of the most wise, though not of a fatal character. We hear of softening of the brain &c., a disease which (by the way is beeomiug quite common) There is another disease, however, (Which may perhaps be a twin brother to the last mentioned,) that, has become quite common of laj;e; it is no uncommon thing to meet from three to five sub­ jects daily. It's victims are affected with a wonderful bowing, and shaking of hands witn every one they meet ac­ companied by some of their most pleasant smiles. One wotdd almost be led to think to see one of them that they were double jointed with two hinges in each joint; they are not by any meads Speechless, but their only cay is ofiice, office, I want office; prom­ ising to treat you more gentlemanly in the future than what they have in the past &6., if you will only lend your per­ sonal aid and influence in their behalf- This may be no new disease, but within the past few years it has taken (to use the language of the Hon. II. McLean) a most cussed mean form." Some lo­ calities are having it bad. One of Qur local officials has a new and rather novel process of pursuing criminals. Not having as yet obtained his patent, we refrain from further mention, but would like to have him explain a little more about that ride to Ringwood and McHenry. How about the hot sun &c. Those of the farmers who have threshed report a light crop. Oats very light weight. S. D. and J. A. Baldwin have returned from their Eastern tour and report a pleasant time. NOTICE.--The legal voters of the Town of Greenwood, are requested to meet at the School House, in the Vil­ lage of Greenwood, 011 Saturday, Aug. 19th. at 2o'clock p. ai., for the "purpose of appointing seven delegates to at­ tend the County Convention, to be held at Woodstock, on Saturday Aug. 26th, and to transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting. By Order of Committee. , WOODSTOCK. EDITOR PLATNDKAI.ER :--On' Monday evening last, the Sous of Temperance, the most of them in calico, held a soei-> able at the residence of L. D. Filu^re, and although not present, we had the good fortune to travel-that way early in the evening, and if noise is any indi­ cation of sociability, that gathering deserved its name. An intemperate sociable ceuld scarcely have made chore discordant racket, while out doors. Rev's J. E. Fisher and T. C. North- cott started for Fox Lake oti Tuesday, mojoing, to enjoy a brief vacation. On the eveniug of Thursday a Mr. Deans, with ever so many handles -to his name, and who is certainly intem­ perate in the matter of secret societies, told to a small audience in the Metho. dist Church, the old story now pretty well worn, of how he became intemper­ ate in the matter of liquors," and how he lesumed the ttiastery of himself W w e l l . ' . . . v ' \ V ; . ; : At the pickle factory the cucumbers come in slowly some being bought by J. S.

It is a good job.

' Neil Donnelly Esq. has returned from his western trip, but complains of ueu- ralgie. City business will go on again now. David Robinson Esq. Is building a large addition to his already fine resi­ dence ou Jackson Street. Our big B. B. C, went to Elgin ih Frank Hanaford's bus, on Friday, and played the Bluff City's, winning the gauie by a score of 11 to 10. By wit­ nesses. it is said to have been a very fine game, the success of our club being attributed to the Hew catcher (Hubble) from Belvidere, who is now herewith the intent ion of remaining. Many of our citizens went over to witness the ga me, at t he end Of which a telegmm was sent to A. W. Murphy, Vice Presi­ dent of the B. B. Association, inform­ ing him of the result. The V. P. Showed the disp?.teh to, two of his friends and the three proceeded to bet cigars by the box on the score. Jay Hoyt's box was won by A. W. M. young f'urer's by T. E.M. and Blossom's by •Jerry Richards who didn't suioke when the box was offered him. The other two kept their wager till near night of Saturday,when Jay got his back again. A box of cigars is rather a large bet for a joke, but why accept and, retain them twenty-four hour§? And did the public indignation have anything to do with returning them ? - Ahorse thief tried to steal a horse of Mr. Hughes of Ilartla nd, Tuesday night, but was seen and routed by the hired man with his little pistol. The New AVa office is rather exten­ sive if those who pretend to know are 'to be believed. The Fair Posters came from Chicago this week but the line at the bottom read "New Era Sitam Print.'1" The job, to an outsider, ap­ pears a neat oue, but why sail under false colors? / New arrival ofClothi ig and Hats and Caps at r. D. Smith'?. The contest for the Circuit Clerkship excites more discussion than that for Sheriff, and as near as may be consist- ant with a warm friendship for both candidates, we will give the comments we hear upon the state of the case. I11 regard to Mr- Richards, old Republi­ cans express no little surprise that one who has never been known as a Re­ publican, but as always a Democrat, should voluntarily come before the Republican convention, announcing himself as a candidate for the best office in the county. Again it is said that J. H. Johnson Esq, provided E. E. Richards succeeds in obtaining the office, is to go in as Deputy. These old liners say this i« too big a dose. The question also as to the effect Rich­ ards election might have upon those who chose to look up the records for themselves, while the owner of the Abstract Ofiice has legal possesssion of the county records is discussed. Some men would take advantage of such an opportunity. Old line Democrats say that Emery is a good fellow but his conversion comes too late, he has gone over for office and the^r wont support him on that ticket. The only objection to Mr. Dwight that has come to our ears reaches us via the Sentinel office-- that he makes mistakes in his papers sent there for publication. We do not understand that Mr. Dwight ever claimed infallibility but should more inclined t-o be of the opinion that the mistakes were made iu some other place, in view of the fact that Judge Murphy has been heard to say that Josiah Dwight is the best Circuit Clerk ha ever knew.
