Ice Cream and other refreshments will be served, and Music, Croquet, and other amuse­ ments intervened to make it plealant for those who attend. WHEN attending the Fourth in Mcr Henry do not fail to cull at Buckltn & Stevens. near the Depots and-see their splendid stock of goods; . ANY wan who can -pronounce the tiauie of General Perokoitschitzsky is not only sober and industrious, but an ornament to society. THB new Store being built opposite Perry A Martin's is being" pushed for­ ward rapidly, and will be ready fo£ oc­ cupancy about August 10th. GALE'S Foundry and Machine Shop, now located in this village, is iu run­ ning order, and ready to receivo orders for all kinds of castings, or other work in their line. THE arrangements for 'celebrating the 4th are ail completed, nndj oiie of the best times ever held in Mctfcnry inay be expected. We shall give <a full ire port of the proceedings ifext w^ek PEACE hath' her victories uo less re­ nowned than war, aud no one realizes this more folly than the fond husband who, frera a safe retreat iu the barn' loft, watches his wife bringing, in wa­ ter for the Monday*s washing. "CHICAGO passengers «JOW go io Gal- Vesten without change,'V According to a railroad tin**- table. That is the way tramps go--"without change," but they make it very unhealthy for poul­ try on the route. THE Steamer "B.

THE Wool Market ia fairly opened and wool is being * received fit large quantities every day in this village.-- The principal buyers are P. D. Smith, F."K. Granger and John Lansing. The priie paid averages about #5 cents. THE regrlar meeting of the Hon. Board of Supervisors of Mcllenry County Will be held on &iouday July 9th, 1877, at the Court Htt^se in Wood­ stock. P. WHITEST, Cpuniy Clerjc. A PLEASANT Picnid' party from this Village, accompanied by friends from Woodstock and Marengo, went to the Lakes on Friday last by the Steamer VAthletf.* Tne day was fine, and all enjoyed themselves in tha best of ninn ner. THE game ef Ball on the 4th of July In this village, will be between,the Fox Hirer Club of this village, and the Pal­ atine Club. This latter Club is one of thi eraek Amatuer Clubs of the Slate, and a good game may be expected. Game will be called at 3 o'clock P. M. MR. E. CARPENTER has opened a No­ tion and Variety Stere in the North <lde ef John Blake's stoie, where he Informs us he will ketp a choice stock •f goods in his line, and sell at bottom figures. Call and see him and examine his goods and learn prices. ON Sunday night and Monday morn-'" ing this section was visited by soak- lug rains and heavy southeast winds, and In many fields we noticed the corn was broken dowu badly. Dry, warm weather for a short? time is certainly what we want just now. GALE'S Foundry caught tire twice on Friday last, but was discovered in time to prevent any damage. It caught, we believe, around the smoke stack of the •ngine. There should be no delay in~{ making it safe,for with a south wind blowing, as on Friday, great damage might be done. The Independent had the best ac­ count of the Old Settlers' meeting at McHenry of any of the papers in this or Lake Co .--Harvard Independent. Providing this were true, would it not look as well to let some one else tell of it? Knox, we don't believe your feat the biggest part of you, by any means.

The Band enlivened the occasion with the best of music, and after taking a ride to Pistaqua Lake and return the party Went home feeling better for having enjoyed ^recreation and social time oh the waters .of (he Pistaqua and Fox. , ' ' Wi are eonstrained t!o propound'the following conundrum : If one man from Elgin, one from Bataviaand two from McHenry cannot, with clubs, stones and a pall of water, lHU an Innocent and unsuspecting Gopher, what is the reason "Jake*' wouldn't give the two fatter a glass of Lagerjwheri they were sp confounded dry?

MITCHELL, the man who disappeared from his tk»me in this village, some time last Fall, and Who It was , at one time rumored had been murdered and his body burned in his own house, has been heard from, his sou having re­ ceived a letter frohi him last week, which proves that he is yet in the flesh He is In the Soldiers' Home, Milwaukee Wis., where he has been since last Win­ ter sick. Thus it will be seen how easy it is to imagine anything arid be mis­ taken, and also how unreliable is cir­ cumstantial evidence. WEwotildcall the attention of our readers to the advertisement of John­ son's Commercial College, St. Louis, Mo. to be found in another column. This Cr??lege oft*3 rs advantages for those 6eek ing a business or Commercial education second to n© institution of the kind in the country, and we have no hesitation in recommend!ug it to the notice of all those who coutempiate attending, a School of this kind. 'The Professor has an experience of fourteen years as a Teacher, and will spare no pains to ad­ vance students under his care as fast as possible. Read hit advertisement in another column. THE Lawn Festival, held on the grounds of D. S. Smith, en Friday eve- uing last, for the benefit of the Uni- versalist Church, was a success, both financially aud otherwise. The grounds were beautifully lighted, the Band discoursed some excellent music. Croquet was enjoyed by the lovers of the game, the Ice Cream and Straw­ berries were delicious, and everything pertaining to ttie Festival, reflected great credit upon the ladies who had it in charge. The proceeds amounted to about 918. We hope this will not be the last of these enjoyable gatherings. If 3'ou want to see the "Boss Barrel Churn," manufactured at Rockford, gv> to R. Bishop & Son's. It is the best Churn in the market. THE seasou of croquet is here. The' front yard of the semi-rural city's res­ idence is as perilous with hoops as his backyard is with clothes lines; the mallet lies glittering in the dewey wreath of tedded grasa mingled with fading flowers; the taint, garbage per­ fumed breezes of evening brings to the car the click of balls and shrill allega­ tions of fraud--"You cheated!*' "1 didn't!" "O, what a story/1'--followed by a crash of glass, a swish of skirts and a slam of the front door or garden gate which announce to the practical obser­ ver that one of the croquet players has slung hur mallet through the basement kitchen window and withdraws indig­ nantly from the game.--jExchange. BASK BALL. For semal weeks a game of Base Bsll has be*n talked of between the Fox River Club of this village and the Clipper* of Woodstock, but no definite arrangements had been made until last week, when the Secretary of the Fox River Club sent a challenge to the Clinp>» t,n play in this 4th of July. In answer to this a Postal card was received under date of June 27th, saying that they could not play on the 4th, but would come over on Friday, June 29th, if the Fox Rivers* so wished. A reply was immediately sent for them to come, and on Friday, at the usual hour the Club, together with a large crowd ot the lovers of the game from this and adjoining towns, assembled on the grounds to witness the contest. But lo, the city Clippers failed to put in a* appearance, and »f* ter waiting until 4 o'clock the crowd dispersed, disappointed and disgusted at such unlocked for proceedings. On the same evening the Secretary received another letter stating that the reason they did not put In an appear­ ance was because they played a game the day before and consequently could hot get their men out two days in sue-, cession. Now allowing this to be . the facts in the case, still there is no ex­ cuse, They must have known this the nightrbefore, or at least early on Fri­ day morning, and if they meant to do the fair thing could have notified them by telegraph iu time to prevent Nine men from losing a days work. * It cannot be that the city Clippers, after doing so much blowing about their superiority, und their anxiety to get at the "McUeury Grangers,*' have, at the eleventh hour, become fright­ ened? From their own talk we should thiuk- they were invincible, and we do not know but what they are, but at the same time we believe the Fox River Club are ready at any time to meet them on a fair field with no favorfe, but have no time to waste waiting for the would be champions. If they mean business let them come up to the scratch aud when they win the game they shall have all the honors due them and be used as gentlemen. The Fox River Club claim no game until they fairly win It. WK noticed bin our streets, one day iaH.week,a strange looking individual with loujr grey hair and beard, who wo were told was craay. He certainly wa* a queer genlns, but at the time We saw him we attributed some of bis ex- ceutricities to poor whiskey. He seemed to be well posted, claiming that he was a soldier under Napoleon, fought at Waterloo, giving correct dates of engagements, facta of history, Ac. Becoming too demonstrative, he was locked up in the calaboose aud kept over night, and iu the morning was al­ lowed to go free n£ain. We learn thjit he proceeded from here to Richmond,' where, during the night, he broke Into Howe's boot and shoe store, and stole therefrom boots, shoes, and other arti­ cles, aud money to the value of i7t Among the articles w«is a loaded revol­ ver and about $3 in money. With his booty he started ou his way Into Wis­ consin, selling his goods on the way, telling the purchasers that hr had been at work tor Mr. Howe and had^aken the goods to get his pay, and- he suc­ ceeded in disposing of most of them at very low figures. He was finally traced and overhauled at Burlington and brought back to Richmund on Sun­ day, and we presume ere this is a steady boarder at the Hotel de Stedman, iu Woodstock. He looks like a hardened old wretch, and, judging from his acts, we should think there was at least a method in his madness. If he does not prove himself insane he will undoubt­ edly board at the expense of the State for the next year or eo. M. KELTEK, of this village, has taken the Agency for a Patent Steel Piow, manufactured by Case, Whiting & Co, of Racine, Wis. In the circular before us it Is claimed that "The Case-Whi- ting Plow Has the following advanta­ ges over all ether Plows made: It is the only Plow that has no Standard, hence It cannot be clogged. It has a Spring Steel Beam. It also has a Solid Steel Frame at its base, to which are attached in the most substantial man­ ner the Mouldboard, Land-side and Beam. The attachment of the Beam being at the base, and exactly iu the center, makes it the only Perfect Cen­ ter Draught Plow made, and will work* oue-fourth easier than any other Plow" Farmers will do well to call on Mr. Kel- ter and examine these Plows, as they have the appearance of being all that is claimed for them. The head of the firm, J. I. Case, 18 well known to the public, and his name is a good guaran­ tee for this Plow. THE TIGFUC BAKE want On® of our Farm ere Say of It NUNDA, III-, June SOtb, 1877 Ma. E. M. OWE» DEAR SIR In regard to the Tiger Rake I bought of you last season I would say that I raked 25 acres of rough and smooth meadow with it and it raked to perfection. The self dump­ ing supplies a want that has long been needed, and it is strong and durable and not liable to get out ot order. Any boy or girl that can drive a horse can do all the raking iu the meadow as well as the strongest man and it Is a perfect rake. Yours Truly, ROBKBT AXDSSWS. ICE CREAM Friday.

EDITOR PLAIXDEALER:--The Fourth of July Is not expected to call on the cltieens of Woodstock next Wednes­ day, and all our orators are engaged elsewhere. Well, we shall not be bored with any formal proceedings, and each is at liberty to enjoy h!sns«Sf ss bsst Si?, sabjsct to the const! iutioti of the United States; but the Tin Whistle Surprise Society, ef which the "Gov/* is President. Intends having a picnic on the grounds of Mark Hlckex, Esq., for which the cards (all trumps) are out. A pleasure party of young nan took a ride to Crystal Lake last Friday evening, and returned minus one--not drowned--but Pinstone failed to come to time when the team was hitched up. Notwithstanding the aunouueements, "bulldofting," and advice of the Hsr- vard Impudent, our School Board has not'eugaged that new prluclpal, which is evidence of bad taste in the board, or the paper, since, not content with announcing the engagement of one Harvard candidate, the blackguarding editor of that sheet puts iu his own bid,sendln^|he following as a speci­ men of what he can do in the tnatter of punctuation and capitals: "No humbug, but all Is pure anu fresh at the Boss Grocery Store. If you want good Flour. If you want good Sugar. If you want good Tea.. If you want good Coffee. Spices,Canned Goods, Nuts. Tobacco, Cigars, &c., Ac. Just call at Cutler's, and lie will let vou have them so cheap that you will have more money when the 4th is over than when It began." Of course Knox is uthe coming prin­ cipal." The Harvard correspondent of one of our city papers appears to see things In about the same light, advis­ ing the board in the matter of taking one of these Evanston professors from that Ayer town. It is rumored that there's to be a change in Harvard be­ fore long and the Holy Alliance may be "busted," to the delight of the " Farmers' Paper." That "fence" around the park is coai- pleted, but very few would think of calling it by that name; a string of hitching posts, connected by a chaiu and supported by a plank. It is a de­ cided and much needed improvement. The wing to the Congregational Church is finished, belt the taste la making the new part about a foot lower at the eaves than the main building ts hardly to be commended, eveu frout an economical point of view. Tiie Marengo base ball club called on the Clippers last Thursday, and went, htfme owning the smalt end of the fraction 6-19. %The Clippe-.s are ready for the next. Perhaps the Fox Rivers will try to get evou with them this season. 1 see by the Chicago dallies that tha export of specie still goes on at tha ^rate of about a million a week, and h«ve tht'folio wing connuadrumfer tha resumption humbugists: If we send our specie abroad at that rate till Jan- nary, 1879, what will tha Secretary of the Treasury have to begin paylhg specie with t and how long can he keep the thing going before the final smash comes that sends all to ruin together? Our papers preach of Democracy. Re­ publicanism, and Civil Service Reform, but. say not one word of the cause of, or cure for, this stringency that Is bank­ rupting the country and filling it with tramps. Industrial enterprises will not beprosecuted by men who can get their niohey out of them when they pay less than an untaxed government bond; so capita] is invested in government secu­ rities, or bonds and mortgages that do not employ labor, and the workman be- conias a tramp. Nor are matters im­ proving, while the Secretary of the Treacory adds to the national dtfbt by burning up greenbacks that he may pay interest 011 the four percent bonds. These times cannot be charged to Projtidencc or the devil, but must be tha effect of some political cause, and the remedy lies within the easy reach of the dominant party. It Is about time we took off our party label* and discussed this question in the light of fact and manhood. By and by will come the time for caucus and conven­ tion, when we shall be called upon to go and help nominate some elever fel­ low who is a good Democrat or Repub­ lican, put forward by the party man­ agers; aud shall we be again led by the nose to vote for incompetency because it has been put upou the party ticket? Forbid it, Moses! The Woodstock Dramatic Associa­ tion has given up going to Harvard on the Fourth. • Our public school closed last Friday, and every one, except the boys and their mothers, will rest for two months. They will find plenty of employment in throwing stones through the unpro­ tected wiudows of unoccupied houses. The closing exercises, in the hall, con­ sisted of songs, declamations and es­ says, in which the pupils acquitted themselves creditably to themselves and teachers. Just before the closing song our Principal was presented with a handsome quarto Bible and marble top stand. The presentation speeoh was made hy Miss May Whituey, and Mr. Klein was so surprised by this un­ expected expression of estoem on the pari of his pupils, that he made rather awkward work of his reply. The hall was rather tastefallv decorated with flowers, evergreens and oak leaves. Near two hundred visitors were pres­ ent, aud everything passed off agree-1 ably to all. * Marietta Norton, youngest daughter of Nelson Norton, was burled last Wednesday. Ellsha Austin has moved in to keep house for his father-in-law. This is the seventh funeral in that fam­ ily. Cortalariy Mr. Norton i ts be pitied. Sunday morning tbi yotingt»i child of Ed.

This sged lady, In usual health, step­ ped to the door and fell instantly dead She was highly esteemed by all. Our resident Pastor, Rev. J. Wheeler, con­ ducted the funeral services, while he took the liberty to reproduce a few historical facts. Stating that til 1836 or '39, his first invitation £0 Cary was to attend the funeral of a child of Mr. and Mrs. Cary. That this was the tirst burial among the new settlers, of that vicinity,aud that the first public re­ ligious service ever offered in that neighborhood was offered on that oc­ casion. He also spcice of attending the burial of Mrs, Thomas near by, uot long after. He also took occasion to state, as this burial was to take place at Crystal Lake, that he conducted the funeral services of the first person bur­ ied there. This occurred May 3d, 1839. Miss Caroline Huflftnan, daughter of our much honored Col. and Mrs. Huffman, and an Infant child . of Mr. and Mrs. King, of Crystal Lake, were followed to the grave "by the same procession and buried at the same time. He re­ ferred also to the fact that about the same time the first burial occurred at Mcllenry Cemetery under his direction Mr. Salisbury, an enterprising and val­ uable citisen being the first to leaved- Saying also that at Richmond Ceme­ tery be was called to conduct the fb- neral rights over the remains of a son of Mr. aud Mrs. Purdy, t he first buried OSTGNU . . . . .
