Nov. 30, 1870: Wra, Wallace, Turner Woodard, D. If. Allen. J. M. SMITH, P. M. THIS is an age of changes. The girl who is picking up Autumn leaves this fall may be picking up codfish a year hence for a short-haired man, whom she calls husband. THE work on the new lee FTouse is progressing rapidly, about thirty men and a number of teams being at work daily. If this weatlier holds they will commence cutting Ice soon, seven inches being thick enough for the first crop. WE would call .'Tho attention of our readers to the new advertisement of E. Perkins, to be found in another col­ umn. Mr. Perkins Is a flr&t-class work­ man, ais4 £»££i :»?. <«• Wag © iv? m-atfe nfc his shop are sure to be No. 1 in every particular. "WHEN a blear-eyed, bald-headed weather prophet Is asked whether it is going to be a hard winter, lie shuts one eye, looks at the sun with tlie other, -digs up a elump ot grass, examines the roots, and says: '"I don't know." lie It generally correct.--Ex. OUR resident Pastor, Rev. J. Wheeler, and wife, ai'e at home on a short visit, and go to their former Parish at Rich­ mond, to make young folks happy. The particulars of this latter trip we 111 ay hear iu the future. Mr. Wheeler ' is now located at Cainpton, Kane Coun­ ty. : A SOCIABLE will be held on Friday evening,Dec. 8th, at 1h« residence of J. II, Bacon, Pastor of the M. E. Church, McHeniy. A cordial invitation is ex­ tended to all to come and spend the evening in having a good social, pleas­ ant time. Shelter has been procured for those having teams. A MISS of ten or eleven, on her way to school, was heard saying to herself : "A noun is the name of a person, place or anything, and if any of the girls have hooked that apple of mine from my desk, I'll raise a fuss with the whole school," r THE present is the time to commence adveitising holiday goods. People have commenced to carefully consider "what shall I buy for a Christmas present" and of course carefully look over the papers to see something that pleases their Taney. THE Party for the Benefit, of the Band on Thursday evening last was at­ tended by about fifty-live "•couples and was a very pleasant and enjoyable affair. The music-was good, the Sup­ per excellent, and everybody went home well satisfied. The next Party will be held at the same place on the 14th. WE learn of a. fellow who went to the Centennial and busied himself while there in counting up the Smiths in the Philadelphia Directory. He made the discovery that there were in that city 1,842 persons by the name of Smith, and sixty-two who spelled the name Smyth. There were 117 plain John Fjmiths. lie returned home without accident. THE first number of Tick's Floral Guide for 1877 is on our table,and is in no waylnferior to any of its predeces­ sors. It contains a large number of cuts, useful hints and directions about taking care of house and garden plants, vegetables, etc. The subscription price is 25 cents a year, and any one number is worth that money. Address •James Vick, Rochester, N. Y. FRIEND Bradbury of the Waukegan Patriot had a Silver Wedding on the 25th of November, and from the list of Presents we see published we opine he will not know his poor brethen of the Press in the future, but looking upon his "Silver" will consider himself a million heir and pass us coldly by. Well, never mind "Sam," we knew you to be a good boy in your younger days, and hope your bright present (s) will not mar your brighter prospectg for che fiiture. EDDT OWEN, son of E. M. Owen, met with a severe accident while skating on the River on Saturday last. He, witn quit,e a crowd of boys, were play- iug what is called "pull-away," and while going at full speed his 6kate caught throwing him violently on the ice, the next boy behind him falling over him. his skate or boot striking him in the head. He was taken to the resi­ dence of M. Kelter, and Physicians sent for, who pronounced the injury a severe one but not of a daugerous character. He vomited badly on Saturday niglu but on Sunday morning was better and was removed to his home, and is now getting along as well as could be ex. pec ted. It was'an accident for which no one was to blame, but boys should be more careful, as falls upon the ice when in sut/h rapid motion is danger­ ous in the extreme. FOR several years one of our citizens has had a standing bet that he could cross Fox River on foot above the Bridge on Thanksgiving day. A week before Thanksgiving this year it looked as 1/ he would lose, but he didn't It was froze up "tighter ner blixem," the beys skarrd o". th<s river all day Thursday. THE Sociable at the residence of Mr. T. Barney, at Ringwood. on Saturday evening last was well attended, and everything went off lively. The sing­ ing was the leading feature of the eve­ ning, and several pieces were beauti­ fully executed. All seemed to enjoy themselves, and at about ten o'clock the gathering broke up. WE met a man the other morning, and upon asking him how his family was, he said Tilden was ahead; we then asked him how the cold weather suited him, and he said Louisiana was all right; upon inquiring as to when the River would probably freeze over below the Bridge, he said that Con­ necticut was Democratic; lastly, we asked him if he \v»s iu his right mind and his answer was that we must have an honest count. Such a man ought to keep an intelligence ollice. THE McIIeary Cornet Baud have hir­ ed Parker's llall for a series of eight Parties, to be given under their au­ spices, the first three of which will be held as follows: Thursday .evening. Pec. 14th, 1S7G; Monday evening, Dec. 35th, 187G; Monday evening, Jan. 1st, ,1877. The dates of the other five will be given hereafter. At each of these parties the ber»t of music will be fur­ nished. Tickets for the entire series can be procured by applying to the Band. OxEof the editors of the Geneva Lake Herald has been getting married, aud ft appears his friends gave him a sere­ nade in honor of the event, but by the following which we find In the last issue that sheet, it appears lie didn't like it. lie say*: "It's all right for our friends to come <ip and serenade our newly married couples, but. now, is It exactly right to sing, "W hat Shall the Harvest Be ?" And do you think "Ninety and Nine* Is just appropriate alibis time ? It 's too many." THAT it is not always safe to carry combustible material iu your pocket was proven on Saturday last. A son of Robt. Wright, of this village, while skating upon the river, on Saturday last, found some Phosphorus in a bottle which had been thrown away as use­ less. Not knowing what it was and thinking it looked rather handsome, he broke the bottle and put some p'eces iu his pocket. Shoitly after he went to his father's shop and stood-nc&r the stove to warm himself., whpn all of a sudden he was discovered to lie on fire. There were quite a number Wi the shop at the time, who succeeded (in putting the fire out before the lk)y)was very severely burned. The boy was so badly frightened that it was necessary to hold hiin down while they tore his clothes off to prevent burning to death. It was a narrow escape. Boys should be careful what tliev pick up and put in their pocket, for, like this boy they may sometime pick up something hot. ONE of the finest articles we have seen for a Chiisttnas or New Year's Present, is tlie Patent Revolving Photo Cabinet. The objcct of tins Cabinet is to remedy alf the defects of the old Style of Albums, viz: preventing the handling of the Pictures and wear and tare of the same: and at the same time producing a more desirable parlor or gallery ornament at prices that compare favorably with the better grades of ordinary albums. Each,and every picture when in the Cabinet'is so framed that it is perfectly flat on the surface and cannot be taken out or touched without unlocking the Cabinet, preventing loss, &c. Four Pictures can he seen at once, under lock and key; showing them to a much better advantage than iu the old style album as the top and sides are constructed ot double thick glass and the revolviug part of wood and metal, and so arrang­ ed as to revolve with equal freedom backwards ^s" well as forwards, and with ordinary care will last for a life time. It is beautiful in design, and would be ornamental as well as useful. Geo. W. Barney, Ringwood, is the sole Agent Jn McIIeury County. OLD SETTLERS MEETING. The Annual Meeting of the Old Settlers' Organization of Lake and Mo- llenry Counties, for the election of officers for the eusuing year, will be held in this village on the third Wed­ nesday, the 17th day of January next, In the mean time we would again re­ mind those who wish te become mem­ bers of this Organization that the Book for the Register of names can be found at the PLAIN DEALER office, - and it is desirable that as many as possible Register their names before the Annual Meeting. Names can be sent to ns by mail, but should be accompanied with the following information: Name; present P. O. address; when born; where born;when came West; settled where. The above information ac­ companied by the membership fee of fifty cents will secure the proper Reg­ ister of names" \Yv hope every Old Settler in McHenry County will see ?that his or her name is on the Register before the Annual Meeting in January. OCR DRY GOODS MKRCHANTSL , Although.the cry of hard times is still heard, we believe one would repu­ diate the idea if he were to judge by the amount of business being done by our Dry Goods merchants at the pres­ ent tiu:e. BUUKLIN& STEVENS, near the Depot have one of the largest-and best se­ lected stocks to be found iu the county, and that they are doing a rushing busi­ ness is evidenced by the fact that their store is constantly thronged with t'us- toniers. and we have yet to hear of one who went away dissatisfied in quality of Goods or price. This is a live, go- ahead firm, j^nd knowing the wants of this community spare no pains to meet them. LANSIKG & EvANSON, at Gieseler's old stand.have a good stock />f Dry Goods, Clothing and general merchan­ dize, and are working up a trade never before known to this old stand. Mr. Evauson is a practical inanlii the busi­ ness, and an honorable acquisition to the Vive business me:i of this town. PEKUV & MARTIN, the well known and reliable firm who occupy the old Owen staujd^are. ney£jL hehUul ̂ iiLjauxUU!!*?., and the throng that daily can be seen at their store is sure evidence that they are keeping up their enviable reputa­ tion for good Goods and low prices. P. D. SMITH, at the old stand of Smith Bros. & Co. is also up to the times with afresh and well selected stock of Dry Goods, Clothing, &c., and his store presents a lively appearance wjth the coming and going of his many customers. Taken all in all the merchants of McHenry have no cause for complaint, as we believe they are doing more business in proportion than any other town In the county. And their trade is not confined to MclfPliry SloKTe, fciis- tomers coming many miles from neigh­ boring town*. The reasons for this is obvious. Our merchants are liberal advertisers, keep their stocks full, and sell at the lowest living prices. Per­ sons who trade with theui once are sure to come again. DO NOT FORGET That you can buy Overcoats at prices never before offered,at Bucklin & Stev­ ens', McIIeury. Report of the McHenry Public School. For the month ending Not'. '24th. HIGHER DEPARTMENT.

EDITOR PLAINDRALKF.:--The Public School in this village is in a flourishing condition. The school ia under the Stella ! supervision of our able County School Superintendant, Mr. Win, Nickle, whose ability as a teacher, .cannot be surpassed. The school now numbers 90 scholars. So many coming from the adjacent towns aud paying their board speaks well for the town. And we have an able Board of Directors, who are always willing to accommodate all the outside scholars. Mr. Nickle makes it his whole study to try and improve the human mind and instill into their youthful thoughts things that will be beneficial in after years, when they willmost need them to combat the ills of life. With such a leader and by following his example they are sure to conquer in after time. Our new minister. Rev. P. Gorton, preached a very interesting sermon on Sunday last on the Wisdom of Solonian. the glory of his court and his cup bear­ ers as he went up iu the temple to wor­ ship.
