This furnishes employment fur quite * num­ ber of men, and is of course a source of profit fo* the firm. Their Brick have the reputation of being the best to be lound in the Northwest. THE dancing public should bear in mind the Party to be given at the Riverside House,on the evening of the 14th ir.st., Old Settlers" Meeting. Mine host lioist is sparing no pains, to make it pleasant fyr all who may attend, and those who love to dance can rest as­ sured that the Riverside has lost none of its former popularity under the man­ agement of Mr. Goist. The best of music will be in i|tteurialice. AN advertisement of the Janesvllle Woolen Mill can be found in another column, which those interested will do well to read. We can recommend this firm to be reliable in every particular, and those of our readers who may have dealing with them will find them straight-forward, upright and honora­ ble men, Besides their goods are equal to the best to be found in the mark* t.-- Bead their advertisement. IN an other column can be found an. advertisemet of "Farms for Sate." by B. F. Peck, which those desiring to purchase land will do well to stop and consider.

THE improvements at tbe lParker House, of which we spoke last weeks Is more extensive than we supposed. It will be remembered that in the cen­ ter of the second story were a lot of dark roonm Mr Parker has taken these out, widened the Hall between rooms to twelve feet, and added on the North side nine extra rooms. These and others he lias newly furnished and fitted tip in a handsome ma.iner, and can now present accommodations see- ohd to ho House outside of the city. The changes adds much to the appear­ ance as well as convenience of the House. THE Lagrange find.)

Not haying the manhood of a midge he adopts this methods instead of calling at the office (that he had passed fifty times during the year,) aud directing his subscription discontinued." Such a fellow ought, to be made to live on canned pot A toe bugs* IN speaking of the Old Settlers' Meeting the Richmond Gazette of last week says: "The following notice, copied from the Fatrivty tells what the old settlers' are going to do June 14rh.

The meetings have invaria­ bly been held on Satluday. aud we have taken great pains to mall a proof to every paper in the county, at the latest on Tuesday morning, but several papers, the Gazette among the number* have seen fit to take no notice of it, and now attempt to lay the blame up­ on the Secretary.

If you want a first-class Pump, go to Old Settlers' tfeetfcg. The preparations for the Old Set­ tlers' Meeting are progressing favora­ bly, aud everything points to one of the most successful wee tings ever held in this county. The grounds h^ve been located In the Grove South of the Mill Pond, but a few rods from the Depot, and easy bf access from all directions, whefte ample tables will be spread to accommodate all, no matter how large the crowd. For Speakers wen. John F.-- Farnsworth and Col. Ed, Joslyn, will positively be here to address the peo­ ple on that day. These gentlemen are too well known to need any intro­ duction from us. Gen. Farnsworth is an old Settler himself, having practiced law iii this county when McHenry was the County &t*at, and consequently must know much of its early history, and being a ready aud eloquent speaker, cannot fail to interest the large audi­ ence wlUch we may expect to see come together on that day. Col. Joslyn, of Elgin, Is equally Welf known to all, and it is needless to say that he will give.us something good. Several Bands of music will be pres­ ent to enliven the occasion, there will ibe a Base Ball Match, aud the Steamer, '•R. Emerson" will make Excursion trips during the entire day. If there is anyone who chatttiea to peruse these lines who has contempla­ ted staying at home on that day let them at once change their, mind. Lay all business aside for one day and come out aud enjoy a social time with the Old Settlers, neighbors and friends.-- Thursday of next week, the 14th. Is the <**?.

ItniABK. CRYSTAL LAKE. EDITOR PLAINDEALER.--For Im­ provement on streets and sidewalks we think this village will compare favor­ ably with any in the County. For the last four or five weeks Commissioner White has been working a gang of men and teams grading, leveling, putting lu Bridges and doing road work in general, for which he deserves the com­ mendation of the entire community. Mr. Carpenter has just put a ccsnent walk in front of his residence which adds groately to the appearance of his place. The common salutation with Farmers around 'hero is did your seed corn grow? It is^ reported that a regiment of "Home Guards," froui Chicago, are coming here to spend a few weeks rus­ ticating They certainly could not find a more desirable place than the banks of our beautiful Lake, OurCorporation lias licensed a Saloon and to see whether it Is right or not the Literary Society proposes to dis­ cuss the following question.

He is going to quit the business on account of lameness and will do prin­ ting and painting exclusi vely. As soon as the sale of his goods is finished he will go to Chicago, for the purpose of having his leg amputated and after­ wards will engage in the erection of a dwelling house on his lot between the residence of Mrs. Beuton aud J. J. Wil*ou, During the half holtlr between 6 o'clock artd 5.30 p. m. the work connect­ ed with the meeting of tlains and transfer of coaches and baggage makes things lively around the depot. Often there are locojnolives aud cars In mo­ tion on four or five tracks at the same time, aud sometimes at a quick 4>ace. Already it has been necessary to warn both passengers aud "spectators" of immediate danger; and unless greater v-iUti9!l i? oJ?s$nrnj S9HJ9 00? Will be injured. " Early Saturday moruing a man was found on the track at Ridgefleld who had been run Ove$ by the jars but a few moments before, and fatally injured. Both legs were cut uearly oft', his side cut and bruised aud other injuries. He was taken into the depot where his wounds were dressed as well as possible but he only lived about two hours. It was with diiliciilty that he answered the few quest'ious put to him. From what little he said a|id the appearance of the ground it was evident that he had been riding on tlie^traln, probably on the "Dead-woods," and had fallen uuder the cars. He was a tramp, gave his name as Jacob Hagg, and said that he got on the car« at Harvard. He was qui to well dresKed.a German, and seem­ ed to be temperate.

Mr. Wiley has arrangements so faa made with the railroad company that it only neods the designation of the day to complete them. He desires that all persons who wish to go should give him their names--or as many as can conveniently. People of other places are cordially invited to join. Life Insurance, in old companies, are proving unstable, but the Protection Life Insurance Co., of Chicago, 111., can not go under as the Policy holders hold the capital which leaves nothing for officers to run away with. Policy holders only have to pay when a death occurs. Every one should be insrred. For rates &c., call on or write to Ira M. Ma Ilorv, Agent, Nunda. Walkup's Grove has been fitted with temporary seats and speaker's stand and the people of the Universalis*, church Society^ have enjoyed a rich treat there. Good speakers have been in attendance and the Preaching has beeu excellent. On Saturday Rev.

A large number of ladies are daily seen visiting the Millinery Stores of Mrs. Wodttl and Mrs. Carpenter and Emuions, and we are informed that their stock of goods are unusually large and attractive this season. We have learned that the man seen going «ut tf towu with rifle la haud and a batti door strapped to liis back, is not a recruit for the Turkish army as we had supposed, but a member of the new rlfie club. * > - r The farmers in this vicinity have had considerable trouble to get seed com to grow, and many have had to replant but the recent rain has started its growth and they are wearlug a more cheerful countenance. The Game Law prohibits killing Of Game at certain Reasons of the year, but Potato Bugs you can kill at all sea- sous when you can-find them, and now seems to be just the time, for 3'OU can find them sitting over a potato hill waiting for them to come up. Milan Hicks, our popular Hardware Merchant, is building an addition to his store to accommodate his large and In­ creasing trade, and "Ike" Meade, who Is alwaj's up Wi til the times, has his store neatly arranged with new goods, which are wol'th the attention of the bu3'ing public. Our Dry Goods merchants report a very large and satisfactory trade, and we noticed the stores of D. A. Potter, and Smith, Aldrich & Hay thorn are dally thronged with customers and quite a good many strangers, which is evidence that Richmond is favorably i.nowu as., buylu^; «iuu selling, Geo. W.
