WE have reoeived a copy of the new History of McHenry county, but as yet have not had time to examine it. We shall do so and give it proper notice next week, WASHINGTON'S 22d. comes on Birth­ day this year. That is to say. the birth of February comes on Washing­ ton's 22(1 day--or--well, some how or other. At all events, it is this week Thursday. THE Riverside House is now open and ready for business, and we have no hesitancy in saying to the traveling public that they will there find good accommodations under the care of the new landlord. Try hiin. THE American Sewing Machine, sold by O. W. Owen, is giving the best of satisfaction. It is a very handsome. as well as a good machine. Go and see Owen and talk with him about it. He will give yon a good bargain. THE game law of Illinois prohibits the shooting of deer, tnrkevs, prairie chickens and pheasants from Jan. 1 to August 15; of quails aiid woodcock, from Jan. 1, to Oct. 1, and geese, snipe and water fowls, from April 15 to August 15. HON. F. K. GRANGER, spent Sunday last at his home in this village, return- ing to Springfield on Monday morning. He report* the committees hard at work-* and-that they will probably lie ready to report next we<*k. when both Houses will get down to solid work. A WOODSTOCK youth found one of his ears snow white when he got home Sunday night, or, Monday morning. He thought at first that the member was frost bitten, but on rubbing the ear the white came ott, and he exclaimed, Jimminetty! she paints. M. ENGELN, Gun-Smith, has removed his Shop to the building formerly used as a Dress Maker* Shop, opposite Perry & Martin's Store, where he can hereafter be found ready to do anj- w«rk in his line on short notice and in a workmanlike manner. IN another place we publish a com- pSete list of the counterfeit National Bank Bills, so far as they have been discovered. Iiji-ory one of our readers «l»oul<d cut it out and preserve for refer­ ence, and thereby mav prevent them­ selves being victimized. SEE the new advertisement of llauley Jk Seas, proprietors of the Brick Mills, to be found in another column. Their Mill is now running night and day to accommodate their customer's and keep «p a supply oi that celebrated Patent Flour. Road their advertisement. Wp would call the attentiou of our readers to the new advertisement of John I. Story, to be found in another place in this paper. He has a splend id *tock of Furniture of all kinds, Pictures Picture Frames, Wall ^Brackets, ,<fcc., and his prices are way down to bed rock. Read his advertisement, call and see goods and learn prices. TICKETS have beeu issued for a Grand Opening Party at the Riverside House, in this village, on Monday eve- ning, March 5th. The new proprietor will leave nothing undone to make it pleasant for all who attend, and we hope the dancing public will turn out and give him a rousing benefit on that occasion. Remember the date, Mon­ day, March 5th. OUR Deputy Postmaster is talking of putting up the following good advice in the office: "Never put a stamp on your letter before you get to the Post Office but give the Postmaster three cents and ask him to lick it for you. The Deputy' oxpeets to lick all stamp?, as it saves him buying his lunch. It is a source of disappointment to him when people insist on doing it them­ selves. THE San Jose (Cal.) Argus aggravat- ingly remarks:--"llow would the snow­ bound inhabitants ot the States like a dish of green peas or a basket of luscious strawberries, picked fresh from the vilies of Santa Clara county!" To which the New York Herald con­ solingly replies:--"Yes, and how would the SJIU Jose man like a dozen Blue Point oysters on the half-shell, and a sparkling rosy Baltimore apple, and a hot mince pie, and a hot Scotch and a merry cachinnatiou of silver bells and a pink-nosed girl, just cold enough to want an arm around her waist,?" IMPROVEMENTS IN MCHENRY. It is pleasant to note the continuance this Spring of the enterprise and thrift that characterized our town last year. The first benignant rays of old L Sol seems to have vitalised the suspen­ ded energies «f winter, and the pros­ pect of doubling the building and im­ provements in our village this year is supremely gilded. We notice tfith local pride the following improvements already commenced or sure to com­ mence as soon as the frost is out, P. D. Smith, new Store, 24x60, two stories high, To be located on the lot opposite Perry & Martin's. R. Bishop, new store, 30x60, two stories high. Located next to P. D. Smith's, mentioned above. E. M. Owen has purchased the Brick Store formerly owned by P. Blake, op­ posite the Mill, and will build an addi­ tion on the South, aide of it. , Curtis & Walker an addition to* the Pickle Factory, 30x60 two stories high, with Basement. To be used as a Canning and Vinegar Works. Smith & Snyder, a block 48x80 two stories high. To be divided into two Stores and located West of the Parker Ho'use, near the Depot. A. C. McCrory, a new residence, on the lot nearly opposite the Parker House. Isaac Wentworth, finishing his new house. Wm. Norton, a new house on the East side of the river A new Butter and Cheese Factory, the location of which has not been decided upon These are but the skirmishers of an army to follow soon. McHenry has indeed awoke from her Kip Van Winkle sleep, and with the enterprise of her business men is bound to take a leading post ion among the towns of the count v. WE cut the following personal from the Carthage Republican; "Mr Ythain- morychis Bleusmborrouge, formerly a salesman for E. Jacobson in this village, but now located in LowviOe, was in town a few (days ago." When the man's name is to be printed tlie boys in the office set it out of the "pi" box. HERE is a natural result of a return to the use of silver currency. Old fash­ ioned long purses are in use again, and are made ol gold threads knit in colored •silk-and held by silver rings. Small purses of Spanish silver wire, and small crocheted silk purses of any fancy color With pjated gold clasps are also seen. THE dancing public should remem­ ber the Washington Birthday Party, by the McHenry Cernet Baud, at the Parker Hou^e, on Thursday, to-morrow evening. The best of music will be in attendance, and Messrs Parker A Son will furnish the Strpper, which is a guarantee that nothing will be lacking. Let ttie dancers turn out and honor that fellow who never told a lie. ' GENTLE spring, ethereal mildness, seems .to have come. Warm sonny days dry roads, liens hunting for nests, loafers on the street corners again, colds in the head and down the throat, and lingering wood-piles* all combine to de­ ceive and defraud us into dispensing •with under-garments. It is a fraudu­ lent return, however, and should be promptly discountenanced. THE rendition of the Cantata of Esther at Riverside Hall on Friday and Saturday evenings last, was a success in every particular. The Hall was filled both evenings to its utmost capacity, and we have yet to hear one single criticism of the entire performance. Great praise is due Prof. Scott and wife for the manner in which they con­ ducted it to so successful a conclusion, not only directing the entire class, but taking the. leading parts in a manner not to be excelled. Where ail did so well it will be impossible for us to par­ ticularize, but we must say that all the leading parts from King and Queen to Chorus were sustained in a manner that could not be excelled. Prof. Scott felt proud of his class; and McHenry has just cause to. feci proud'of her singers. A PRACTICING physician used thefol* lowing remedy for Diphtheria hi 1000 cases, with entire Success: The treat­ ment consists iu thoroughly snubbing the back of I he mouth and throat With a wash made thus--table salt,2 drachms; black pepper, golden seal, nitrate of potash and borax, 1 drachm each. Mix and pulverize, put into a teacup, which half fill with boiling water; sj;ir well and then fill up with good vinegar. Use every halt hour, one. two or four hours, as recovery progresses. The patient may swallow a little each time. In the meantime apply a liniment to the whole of the throat and to the breastbone, made of equal parts of spirit turpentine, svVeet oil and aqua aiuonia. Apply every four hours, keeping flannel to the parts. This receipe is valuable, Tl:e choicest brands of Flour to be found iu the West are made bj* llanley & Sons. No Half Patent or Humbug. ONE of the strangest things to us. is that our business men insist, in these times, upon doing a credit business in­ stead of adopting a cash system of pay and sell goods only for cash. In nearly every commercial paper that comes to our notice, we see such notices as the following: "We quote you goods to­ day, cash--30 days, 5 per cent added; CO days. 10 per cent added: 90 days, 15 per cent added; 4 months, 20 per cent added"--or figures to that eflect. In consequence of the general depression in business throughout the west, manu­ facturers and jobbers are offering to sell goods at from 10 fo 20 per cent less for cash than for goods sold on 30,60. 90 days, or 4 months time as has been the custom heretofore. Our farmers and mechanics can hardly afford in these hard times, to pay 20 per cent more for goods for 4 months time than the same goods can be had if cash pay was the rule instead of the credit sys­ tem. Business men! in the name of justice and common sense, take the matter under favorable consideration. Pay cash for your goods, sell them for cash onlv and save us 20 per cent in so doing. Buy Hanley A Sons celebrated Pa­ tent Flour, the best in the market. THANKS. To the liberal patronage of an appre­ ciative public--thanks to the singers-- thanks to the McHenry Cornet Band- thanks to the PLAINDEALEU--thanks to Mr. O. W. Owen and daughter--and to many generous citizens, but no thanks to the Croakers for the success of Esther. R. D. SCOTT. If you are in want of Flour, Feed, Ac., go to Hauley & Sous.

GREENWOOD EDITOR PLAINDEALEP : -- It IS im­ possible for us to imagine, or beyond the power of .man to comprehend the embarrassment which .a- want of dif­ fused information or the total depriva­ tion of the means flint now exist of trausiuittihg thought, information or knowledge from one to another and from one p< rtion bf the county to another would bring about. Deprive us of hooks, take from us the pen and the press. Sever tho electric eables which encircle our globe, netting us in as the wily spider weaves its silken web around the unsuspecting fly; tear up our railroads, destroy the records of the past, throw to the dogs all instru­ ments of thought and education and how long think you would it be before the dark shades of Barbaric night would close in upon us, anarchy and confusion would reign throughout the land. To the pen and the press alone do we owe our present magnitude of power as a nation, but like all other machinery these are rendered power­ less without, being fed, thought is brought into requisition, and here arises our trouble; we hold the pen, but it docs not move, we lack the pow­ er to set it in motion to our liking and ere we are aware we are dotting down a whole striug of periods. On Sunday of this week, Eddy Toles. while enroute for Richmond, met with what came near proving a serious acci­ dent. While riding leasurely along in a sulky, turning to one side to shun a mud hole, tiie wheel striking a small sapling, threw him off'his balance, w ith one leg ih'ough the wheel. The horse ran at a ieaitul rate, dragging him through the nuid some ten rods «»r more, before he became. . extricated from his unenviable positiou. Fortu­ nately no serious damage was done more than a few severe bruises and a complete demoralization of clothing, harness, &c. Injustice to all parties concerned, we would sajr this was pure­ ly accidental. There is to be a donation visit at the residence of Mr. Toles 011 Thursday eve­ ning of this week for the bei efit of the Rev. Byron Alden. Give hiui what he deserves, a hearty support. Many aud various are the varieties and breeds in the animal and vegetable creation. We have "Turnip Beets," "Mangle Beets." "Blood Beets," "Live Beets," "Dead Beets," and "Beat 'em it you can." The last of which we think, the following specimens will compare favorably with any under the present winter culture. Mr. II. J. Wood is again on the list of tall pork growers, haviug sold a few days since to Mr. Eckert of Woodstock, a sow that turned the scales at 780 lbs. He also reports something fine in the dairy line, from a test made some two weeks since he reports the follow- iug result: from a new milch cow which began giving milk some four weeks ago. He weigh the milk of 7 consecu­ tive days also the butter made fr<^m the same for the same period of time. Weight of milk, 221J ILs., weight of butter lOf lbs. This Mr. W. claims is the poorest milker of 5 cows that he has. If this be the case, (which we do not doubt,) would it not be well for you, Mr. W., to start a Butter and Cheese Factory of your own, jund let those liens rest one year? Singing School and Literary S<fciety are still increasing iu interest as was evinced by the late hours kept by the latter 011 Friday evening last. How hard a matter it is to see ourselves as others see,us, and to yield submissive­ ly when the majority rule, (So says •Sammy." EVEN. NUNDA. EDITOR PLAINDEALERT--Since our last communication some changes have taken place in our town and some items of news that may interest some of the numerous readers of the PLAINDEALER. The business is very quiet, but politics have their ups and. downs quite often euough to destroy the rfnll monotony that would otherwise prevail and then the extreme pleasant weather that is me,ted out to us gives quite a buoyant impulse to oUt* aspirations. The news that Louisiana was to be counted for Hayes and Wheeler elicited some glad "hurrah's * from the Republicans, while the Democrats seemed to feel that their last, long cherished hope was gone. But "On w'th the Dance" Ore­ gon is the next to go before the Com­ mission and we await the decision. Elder Collins preached his farewell discourse to the Deciple Church Feb. 11th ami Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Kelley availed themselves of this opportunity to secure tickets to fhj# "Haven of Rest." as described by the eloquent speaker. 'They were baptised in the liir-pid 'waters of Crystal Lake, and our sincere wish is, that they may "live and contince long in well-doing." Mr. J. B. Butler's residence can now be found over the store formerly occu­ pied by R. R. Rothgerber. A concert was held under the aus­ pices of the M. E. Church, in this place. Thursday evening, Feb. 15th. A large congregation were present and mani­ fested much interest as well as satis, faction, as the Sunday School scholars performed the parts allotted to them The exercises consisted of Readings, Singing, Declamations, Ac. A collec­ tion was taken up in conclusion, and judging from the liberal contributions, the efforts of the scholars were duly appreciated.. Last Friday was not much of a day for fire, yet the old grass was just dry enough to be set on fire by ail engine and it was soon fanned into quite a prairie conflagration. The fire caught in the deep cut just Northeast of this place and burned across a part of Mr. Geo. Raidle's farm on to the farm owned by Rev. Wm. H. Spencer. The wind now had a good sweep and drove the flames directly toward several large stacks of Timothy hay that had been stacked in the meadow which were soon reached and burned to the ground, the estimated number of tons being from thirty to sixty. A large quantity of fence was also burned. Remember the Donation party for Elder Wiley, to be held iu the Hall Wednesday evening. Come with full pockets and glad hearts. Mr. Daniel Ellsworth has sold his farm, which joins this village, to Mr. John Marshall, and gives immediate possession. Consideration, eight thousaud dollars. Mr. Marshall pays a part down and secures the balance by lien 011 the place. TYRO. Crystal Lake Crossing Cossip. E DH OR PLAIN DEA LKR.--Thursday night I. M. Mallory was annoyed con­ siderably by a boyish racket, which was instituted for that purpose. Ira had no idea of permitting such annoy­ ances to go on without doing some­ thing to stop it. Consequently he brought a reserve force to bear upon the assailants; so, when Ed Hooker, approached the window to utter a cow- noise, a la Scott Simmons, he unex­ pectedly received a check, a Rawhide whip stole from out the dark, around the corner and stung the legs. Ed started 011 the double-quick for home, the persistent whip following. He says he continued the noise, carrying the idea that it was through spunk, but the boys tl ink it was involuntarily. It is amusing to see how great is the value put upon Advertising by our merchants. One envies another the large pile ol empty oyster cans which have been thrown upon the street, whereupon the good-hearted second party kindly presents the former with an armful. Their value is solely as an advertising medium. No doubt it is cheaper than newspaper advertising but we believe it to be an uudisputed fact that the latter is comparatively of much greater value. Blue Glass, despite the hard times, evidently serves to pnt a great number of writers beyond the possibility of having the Blue Devils. Disquisitions on it seem to serve as introductions to ail manner of amusing essays. The mumps are around. Look out! Those from this place who attended Queen Esther at McHenry Friday and Saturday speak highly of its delivery, and all were well entertained. The meeting ot the McHenry County Teachers Association, which was to be held at Huntly. Saturday, February 10th, has been appointed by the presi­ dent to'ineet at Crystal Lake Crossings, Saturday, Feb. 24tl». - The meetings held here are said to be the best atten­ ded, and the most interesting of any held iu the couuty. It is reported that the members of the Union Literary Society are mak­ ing a great effort to have the next meeting, (on Friday of this week) a good one, and epou gh has been heard to warraut us in saving that it well. MA rois. MARCH 'EM DOWN. Flannels aud Woolens marked down to sell. Hats aud Caps marked to' close. Buck Mitts and Gloves away down. Winter Goods of all kinds reduced at Bucklin & Steven 's. WOODSTOCK. EDITOR 1' L AI N D E A L EK--Am iweme H t« have been the order of the week; the first being a magic lantern lectnre on the centennial. Geology, and pictures of some huge varmints that might have been pets to Goliath of Gath. His light was not quite what it should have been; his pronunciation was scarcely at par with his exy-hydrogen light; and as to the lecture, the less said the better. Un­ less one had the book from which he read. However it was worth the ad­ mission fee to look at his representa­ tion of the Centennial buildings, grounds, and articles on exhibition The hall was well filled, about three fourths of the number being boys from the public school, who managed to show their want of good breeding, much better than the lecturer did his ignorance of Geology and astronomy. The hooting, stamping, and whistling were asdeafeniug as disgusting,and if any strangers were present they would have no reason to complain that the young boys of Woodstock are .too much governed. Your correspondent has no desire to attend a second show where the school boys of this town are admitted at ten cents a head, unless several stalwart men are provided with the disposition, the authority and the means to bulldoze them into Modoc decency. The Dime lecture by Mr. Gilniore was welljittended, and warmly applaud­ ed; aud if any was disa ppointed, he has not made it manifest. As an orator the distinguished Perusianhas his spurs yet to win. but, if his manner was tire­ some, his matter was well selected, and interesting, which is the most, impor­ tant part. The next lectnre is to be by E. E. Richards, topic not ahnouueed. A meeting was announced for Wednesday night in the Universallst church, by Rev. Pardeefof the Unltari. au faith, btu through some niissunder- standing the church was not warmed and lighted so the meeting was post­ poned to Friday evening, at which time the church was about half filled, with an audience composed principally of those who do not attend any church with much regularity. After singing, by an improvised choir, the speaker, a young man of rather pleasing address, a good reader, and pleasant speaker, read part of the serinou 011 the mount, and spoke for three quarters of an hour from the text, "Not every one that saith unto me. Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, bt^t he that doeth the will of my Father who is in Heaven. He entered into a discussion ofcreetls, beginning with the Apostles creed, of which he said they neither wrote nor believed it, because there is no evidence that they believed in the dogma of the Immaculate conception or the Iloly Catholic church. That the only true point about the Athanslan creed was that Athanasius never wrote it or believed it, that belief in no dog­ ma will sa.ve any one. but, that the thing required is to "love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and your neighbor as yourself.* This love re­ quires that sixteen ounces be given for a pound, aud that 110 sand be put into the sugar,-that it enters into every transaction of life, from sawing a cord of wood for a poor widow to shaving customers, notes; with more of the same sort. At the close the collection amounted to about six dollars. Saturday was a very busy one iu Woodstock, every stall aronWd the square beiug filled and the market on the rise. The news from Washington regar­ ding Louisiana has made the Demo­ crats about as mad as they can be without doing any one personal injury, nor do the Republicans, with one ex­ ception, feel very jubilant over the 7-8 manner of settling the presidency upon Hayes. It does seem a little queer that the party accused of fraud, pleads not guilty and objects to having testimony introduced to prove him so. Now let's see how long it will take to recognise Packard and Chamberlain. SQt'EERS. Bnainess Not!<;«•# Go to E. M.
