We commend him to the tender care of the Pound Master of Harvard until the fatal time arrives. IN another column can be found a no­ tice of an Auction on the farm of W. W.Goff, four miles North of Nunda, and one-half mile West of the Ilolcomb School House, on Wednesday of next week, December 6th, at which time will be sold thirty-two choice Cows, twelve,, of them new Milch, and the balance cOuiing in soon, besides other stock, 60 tons of Hay, and Farming Tools of all kinds. These cows are the very choicest to be found in the county, and persons in want of cows should bear In mind the time and place. The inimitable J. A.^Sherwood is the Auc­ tioneer for the occusiou. As the question will no doubt come up at the nex; Town Meeting of build­ ing or in spine way providing a build­ ing to be used as a Town House, we would suggest the propriety of the Town buying the olil Brick Church property and converting it into that use. We learn that the Church and lot can be bought cheap, and no one will deny that it is well located for that purpose, while the building, with slight repairs, could be made into a Town House that would be an honor to our village. We hope the proper authorities will take this matter un­ der advisement, and if thought practi­ cable, see that it is acted upon. PiiiLhip HAUPRIHS, having comple­ ted his new Shop, North of Perry & Martin's Store, and near the Brick Church, has a new advertisement in this paper in which lie informs his friends that he is now prepared to do all kinks of Blacksmithing promptly and in the most workmanlike manner. He is well known as a lirst-class work­ man, and his many friends will bo glad to learn that he has again opened up a business in this village, lie has also connected himself with Mr. E. Perkins, in tho manufacture of Buggies and Wagons, and can furnish a good Wagon or Buggy, warranted, as cheap as any­ one in the county. As a Wood Worker Mr. Perkins has no superior in the coun­ ty. Read their advertisement in another column. WE learn that some boys who reside East of this village, who have neither the fear of God or man before their eyes, are committing depredations that will sooner or later bring them to grief. On Sunday the 19th inst., we learn that tiiey appropriated a Pig and "some chickens, and by right of possession only carried them Into the woods and roasted them and had a sumptuous Picnic. They thought they were un­ observed but our River Reporter was near by, Pencil in li.nid^and their names are now recorded on our Tablet, and much as we dislike to do so if such wanton acts are repeated we shall be oblige to publish them for the benefit of tlie farmers who are sufferers by these depredations, in which case their punishment will be sure. "A word to the wise is sufficient." WHILE in Ringwood last week we called at the store of J. W. Cristy and found him as busy as a bee waiting upon customers. He has in store a large and well selected stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, Crockery, Hats, Caps, 'Boots and Shoes, and in short every­ thing usually found in a general country store, which his many customers s;iy he is selling at Bed Rock Prices. Cristy is alive man in the business, and know­ ing the wants of his customers spares no pains to meet them. We also called at the store of Vasey & Holmes, where we found a good stock of Hardware. Stoves, Tinware. &c., They informed us that consider­ ing the times they were doing a good business. Their Stoves are the best in the market and they will not be undersold by any. Our readers in that section should give them a call when in want of anything in their line. FOX KIVEIT VAIXKY MILLS.

SHEPD, SIIKItM A?» & CO., Is the name of the firm who have pur­ chased land qt the -head of the Pond and are now engaged in putting up a building for the purpose of storing lo® and doing a general Ice biisiuess. They broke ground on Saturday last for their building and now have a large gang of men at work, intending to put it up in the shortest possible time. The build­ ing will be located at the head of the p6nd, just North of the Pickle Factory, will b« 150x160 feet, tweuty-six feet high, with half Mansard Gravel Roof, and will hold 25,000 Tons of Ice. This firm will employ from sixty to seventy-five men during the Ice Har­ vest, and thirty or forty the year round. They intend, besides filling this mam­ moth Ice I^ouse to ship 100(^cars of Ice this winter. We understand this firm have also bought tiie farm of H. W. MeLe#u, which comprises 120 acres aud takes in a part of what is known as McColluin's Lake, where they propose another year to put up additional Ice Houses, run-r Hiug a switch track thereto, which will give them ad-vantages for getting the best quality of ice enjoyed by no com­ pany in the West. Messrs. Shedd, Sherman & Co., are live, go-ahead men, and we anticipate will not only reap a rich harvest for themselves, but their business will prove a great benefit to McHenry, by furnishing employment to a large num­ ber of men who will live in our midst, circulating their money among our mer­ chants, and helping business of all kinds. There are but few enterprises that could have started here that would prove of more general benefit than this aud our citizens can think themselves fortunate in being able to induce these gentlemen to locate here. We shall speak more of this enterprise as it pro­ gresses. FUTUKK OF MCHENRY. We trust our neighboring towfis will not think us egotistical when *we say that,the prospects of McHenry never looked brighter than now, and that the future of no town in McHenry county, iu a business point of view, looks as bright as ours. Capitalists are begin­ ning to see the natural advantages of this locality, surrounded as it is bj* a rich and prosperous farming com­ munity, and almost every week one or more arc here looking around with a view of starting some kind of business. The splendid water power and privilege at the Mill having now be­ come the property of Mr. Bishop, who has ample means and the energy to push things, ensures the working of that splendid power to its fullest ex­ tent in Milling and other manufacturing interests, which of itself will have the tendency to draw other Interests to this village. The firm of Shedd, Sherman & Co., of which we speak else­ where, is also another evidence of our prosperity as a community, and the prospect^ now are that be 1'oro spring we shall be able to chronicle the ad­ vent in our midst of more large business institutions. Our citizens are now awake to their true interests, and any business that seeks a location here will receive their encouragement and hearty support. As wo have said before the future of McHenry is indeed promising. Murder AY'ill Out. A few years ago-'August Flower" was discovered to be a certain cure for Dyspepsia aud Liver Complaint, a few thin Dyspeptics made known to their friends how easily and quickly the}' had betn cured by its use.

Smith, three, miles West of this village, was totally destroyed by fire on Friday last. The fire was discovered about half past eleven A. M. in the roof near the chimney, but had gained such head­ way on the inside before it was discovered that all efforts to save the buildihg was unavailable. The sup­ position is that the fire caught from some defect in the chimney close to the roof, and consequently the inside was one mass of flames before it broke out and was discovered. It being found impossible to save the building attention was tyrned to getting out the furniture, a great portion of which they succeeded in removing, but iu a somewhat damaged condition. By tlie efforts of those present, who de­ serve great praise for the able aud systematic manner in which they work­ ed, the cellar and its contents were save<j. Mr. Smith was away from home at the time and when he; returned found but a heap of sinortldering ruins. His loss will foot up over Four Thous­ and Dollars, on which there was not a cent of insurance. Being in the Fall of the year when, owing to the weather, it is impossible to build -at present, this loss will be keenly felt by Mr. Smith, and he has the sympathy of the entire community in this misfortune. This house was burlt some twentv- flve years ago, but was one of the most substantial iu"towuv being built of heavy oak timbers, large and well finished, and was what might be call­ ed a model farm house.

EDITOR PLAIXDEALER: -- Absence from home has prevented me from jot­ ting down the items of news from Nunda that might interest at least a portion of your readers, but as the one great object of interest (the election) has absorbed or crowded .*11 other mat­ ters out of sight, very little lias been found of sufficient importance to find a place in your paper, but now that the election of Ilayes and Wheeler is gen­ erally conceded, we will a«?aiu post you upon matters as they transpire in our quiet "Burgh."- Business .continues'] dull in the ex­ treme, but as that is so universal the world ovor we have no very good rea­ son to complain, but must be satisfied to watch and wait for "the good time coming."
