WE would call the attention of thole Interested to the uot ice of "Proposals Wanted" to repair the Universalis! Church, in this village.

THOSE attending the Old Settlers* Meeting should bear in mind the fact that the Steamer "R. Emerson" will make Excursion trips during the eu- tire day. F.

A lively game may be expected. THE choicest pronunciation of,Tur­ kish and Russian names can now be ac­ quired from the war map canvasser. Ho can talk sesquipedalian words for an hour on the stretch. JOE DRAPER interviewed the wrong •nd*f one of Mr. Belgtr's mules the •ther day, and the result was<not satis­ factory--at least to Joe. He says it is astonishing how hot those critters feet are! .

CROPS promise to he very abundant this season, except perhaps, potatoes. If the farmers succeed in the fight with potatoe bugs vyl^icliai;e, getting to be numerous, tho latter ̂ o^Vill be good tOO. , . . 5"; THE fashionable style for strawber­ ry shortcakes this s*aeon is to have them cut bias and ratlier fuller iu tlie crust than usual. Those in two shades of saleratus. trimmed with the mater­ ial are much in vogue. A man in Iowa dropped dead the •ther day while beating a sit ting-room Carpet, and his wife has been held to appear at the next term of the District Court. Tills is a dreadful^ warning to the married women, ana we hope they will profit thereby. iv' THE Palatine Herald is the name of anew paper which we find on our ta­ ble, which is published by Richardson & Dougherty. It is aeix column folio, and presents a neat and tasty appear­ ance, but has put its subscription way #owo to starvation price. Unless they |>rove to be million beir$ they will flud they have made a mistake. OCR merchants will agree with us that the fellow who penn'ed the follow­ ing sentiment isn't very far out of the way: "It is not fair for persons to ask their home dealers for six months, one year or two years credit, and then when they'can scrape a little money together pack off to the city to do their trading. Making the merchants at home, who have accommodated them, wait for their pay." THE St. Charles Leader, which by the way ia one of the spiciest papers en our exchange list, canre to hand last week with a new engraved head, which IB certainly a handsome improvement. There is no paper in this District that presents a cleaner or handsomer appear­ ance, . typographical and otherwise, than the Leader, whilfc editorially, Wheeler slings an able and witty pen­ cil. Kane Couuty has no abler paper than the Leader. THE new way of capturing the pota­ to bug is highly successful. Mash a lot of potatoes, put on them plenty of Pans green, and place them in the planted field. The bugs will, in a short time, meet in mass convention,and while the committee of the whole on the state of the union are discussing the mixture they are quitely and effectually hived. There are uiauy Qthings a potato bug can do. bnt eating Paris green and live Is not oue of them. THE Marengo RcpubUcan mjkx •**WhiIe Mr. A. B. Spoor, (who formerly lived near this village, now living in the town of Flora. Boone Co.,) was dig­ ging a cellar, preparatory to building a "house, the workmen came across a cof­ fin containing the skeleton of a human body. The place they were excavating was an old cellar, over which' a build­ ing had stood many years ago. How the body c»me buried theie or who it was is a question for solution." L. A. PARKER, who lives Southeast of this village, came near losing a valua­ ble horse by poison one day last week. It appears one of his boys had been us­ ing poisoned corn to kill gophers, and comi ig to the house had left' some of the corn iu a wagon in the yard. The !;crse being loose of course eat the coru and it was onlv by chance that they succeeded iu saving him. Too much care cannot be taken when poison must boused, buiii, wouiu pe better not to use it at all. THE Committee of arrangements have everything completed- for (he ac­ commodation of all who may see fit to make us a visit on Thursday next, and there is every indication, should the weather prove good, that there will be one of the biggest turnouts ever seen in McHenry. Bands of mnsic are ex­ pected from Woodstock, Waukegan," Wauconda, Park Ridge, besldws the Me- Henry Baud, which we think will fur­ nish music enough to please all. We hope that every body and his family will make up their minds to visit Mc- Henry on Thursday. THE Waltouian- Club, of Elgin, went up to Fox Lake oil Tuesday of last week, per steamer "R. Emerson." This Club is composed of some of the best meu in Elgin, and have, one of the fin­ est Club Houses'on the Lake. They report the fishing good and the scenery around the Lakes the most delightful. While there they elected the follow­ ing officers for the ensuing )*ear: Pres­ ident, A. B. Fish. Vice President, D. S. Hammond. Secretary, S. L.Taylor. Treasu'-er, W. J. Hunter. Directors. J. C. Brown, O. P. Chishulm and P. S. Bartlett. PARKER & SON, of the Parker House • in this village, informs us that they will give a grand Independence Party, on Wednesday evening, July4th, tickets tor which will be issued iu a few days. They have engaged the celebrated Military Band, of Chicago. J, Castello,' Leader, to furnish the muhic, which is a sufficient gurantee that the music on that occasion will be A. No. 1. The improvements lately made l.n that House makes it more ct-uveulviit ft>i%! parties of this kind,- and ^ those • wh > attend on the 4th can rest assured of being well taken care of and have a general ffoo.l time. PETERSON'S MAUAZIXK for July is on table, ahead as usual of all others. Tlie principal steel eugraviug,"Cherry Ripe' after Meyer Von Bremen, is oue of the most beautiful we have ever seen, even, in this magaziue.

Lunsing & Evansbn, neat the Depot, have a new advertisement this week, to which the attention of the public Is iuvited. They have just adopted the cash 8ystem,and put in store oue of the largest stocks of seasonable goods ever brought, to this market, consisting el Dry (Voods, Groceries, Clothing, Hats ami Caps. s|iwl ia short everything us­ ually kept ia a first class store. They have adopted the cashsystem believing that it is better for both the buyer and -sellei.and now propose to sell so low that purchasers will find it an object to call and see them. Read their adver­ tisement aud cull aud e^an|iue tnty« splendid stock of goods. Bncklin & Stevens, who caa also be found near the Depot, have their store full to overflowing with new Spring and Summer Goods, and they are so well known wo need not say that for quality and price they are never found in the rear of any in the county. Their •rock of Dry Goods,Groceries, Clothing Boots and ^hoes. Hats aud Caps. Ac., is complete in every particular, and close buyers should uot fail . before purchasing. ^ Parry & Martin, at their old stand near the Mill," have their usual largo and well selected stock in store, which they are replenishing by weekly visits to the city, consequently their line of Dre?s vjooi'i always comprises the la­ test patents to be found in the market,: and are sold at the lowest living prices. Their stock of Groceries, Clothing, Hats. Caps, Boots aud Shoes is always complete, and buyers cannot fail to be suited both in quality and price, uo matter what they want. > P. D. Smith in Riverside Block, has a store full of new Goods, bought with especial r« ference to the wants of the people of this community* aud which he is bound to sell at prices to suit the times. He keeps none but the Ixst of Goods, and by frequently replenishing his stock is enabled to give his custom­ ers the benefit of any drop in the mar­ ket. In Dry Good#, Cioihuig, Boots and Shoes, Hats aud Caps, Groceries, &c„ his stock is Complete, fresh and de­ sirable, aud well wdftli the rtte&tioti of the buying public, , IN speaking of the Old Settlers' Meeting, the Wapkegan Gazette says: "It is desired that ail the Old Settlers' of Lake county-should make the 14th a grand gala day and attend the meet­ ing at Mcllenry. Bring out your ban­ ners and flag®, bring out your wives and children, bring out your neighbor* ami friends. Go on foot or with vehi­ cles from one horse to a half dozen, aud wake Mcllenry up as it has not been before for many a day. These June gatherings of Old Settled' ought to erase the care lines from the brows aud aiake the year pleasanter' for *llie awakened memories of the past."-- That's right, gentlemen, come along aud wo will try aud make it both a pleasant and profitable day for you all.

These with other improve­ ments (too numerous to mention) are certainly goud indications of prosperi­ ty. The question discussed lit" our last Lyceum, Rexolved, "That the Legisla­ ture of llliuois should pass a law com­ pelling all cliildreu between the agesof seven and fourteen to atteud school at least six months of the year," is we think a very difficult one for our best statesmen to solve.

Mallory, Agent, Nunda, Ills* While visiting in Elgin, a Mrs. Pratt of Fort Atkiuson, Wis., received a tel. egram from her husband, who is depot agent at thut place, stating that one of her little children, a boy ten years old, had been shot by a pistol in the hands df one of his playmates. Mrs. Pratt came to this place with a carriage arriving here at midnight. In the morning she heard again that the child was no better, that it had lain inau un­ conscious and very critical condition since the accident. Feeling a mothers anxiety itaeemed impossible for her to wait for the regular train, due here at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, and cite made a stroke that few womeu, or men, would have thought of, or con­ sidered probable. She telegraphed to E. J. Cuyler, Superintendent, explain­ ing her predicament and asked for some conveyance that she might arrive at her hom# sooner than the regular train. Mr. Cuyler answered promptly that there would be an engine and car to take her to Ft. Atkinson as soon as he could get one fl'om Harvard. It was but a very short tiiue before Mrs. Pratt a friend and two children* accompany­ ing them were on their way homo as fast asjt wns -afe. to run. The courtetyi was highly appreciated by-the parent and i^lroad i««n, all of whom <ie«ply sympathize with the family. At this writing, (Monday P. M.) the child is still .unconscious and the physicians think no possibility of recovery. MA FOIC. SPELLING REPORT.

We have an individual in this vicini­ ty that don't take a paper of any kind, and hangs around the drug stores and gets old almanacs to read. Won't look in his looking glass for fear ho will wear it out. Ain't you ashamed of yeurselt. If you w*Rt to set a mean person find one that goes to the stores, picks out goods and have them laid aside for them and then go some where else for the same thing and never come after theiu.

Now "doe," you or "Alex" ought to give us one the first time wo come in to seo you. We notice tickets have boon Issued for a Fourth of July Party, at the Richmond House, to take place on Wed­ nesday evening, July 4th, aud the bare announcement is suflicieut to warrant the dancing public a good time on that occasion. The Geneva Lake Band will furnish the music, and Foster will spare uc pains to make it pleasant for all. CRYSTAL LAKE. Em TOR PLAIN DEALER.--I earae very near being our lot to chronicle a suicide this week. Last Wednesday Jauies Goodman of this place wishing to leave for better parts tried to do so via the edge of a Razor. But the R&* zor hurt him, his grit failed him, &nd he di'&pped th* instrument, leaving* a gash iu his throat. Ba wilt probably recover.. The drouth is at last broken and we are having beautiful showers which will start vegetation discourage the Potato Bug and encourage the Farmer. But it did not come soon enough to save tlie Hay crop being vafy light, through this section. ' * Notwithstanding the dullness Of the times building still progresses in this village, two business places haviug been put up this spring one by P. Goodman for a Saloon the other by Mr. Baldwin for a Resturant. They help the growth of the place if they are not marble fronts.' Owing to the inclemency of the weather the festival given last Friday Eve was uot as well attended as it would have been had it been pleasant. But people could well forego the pleas­ ure of eating Strawberries and Ice Cream for the sako of having such a beautiful rain. The Literary Society will hold Its next regular meetlug Thursday Eve of this week when the important question of License or no License will be dis­ cussed by able Speakers. There will also bo Music, Reading of a query box extemporaneous Speaking and recita­ tions. Let all come who can and en­ courage the members not 6oly by their presence but by joining the Society taking a part iu the pr^ammo and helping to make it a grand success. They certainly could not lend their talent to a more , worthy object or one that will bo a greater help to the young people. ODD Jr. Business Notices. Boys Clothing, at F. G.Mayw.
