OKE of the handsomest signs in town now adorns the front of Riverside Block, and reads "Snath, Aldrich & Haythorn." The letters are of the §crlpt pattern, gilt, and present a •et-y neat and tasty appearance. 8TATION Agent Buss informs us that during this week he will sell tickets to the State Fair as follows: To Free port and return $4.30. Tickets good until September 24th. We learn that quite a uumber of McHenry county people are attendhig the State Fair. THE evening services of the M. ft. Church, which have been dispensed with for a while, will commence again next Sunday 7,30 p. m. The subject, which will be directed especially M th<i young people of thil place, will be Ilow to Spend Life in the Most Profit­ able manner. We hope all our young people in particular will give audience. THE Musical Clock, owned- -hv Jos Wie daman. Is offered for saTe at a bargain.' It.is one of the handsomest pieces of workmanship to be found in the West. Each hour instead of .striking it plays a tune, and is not only a good thne piece but an ornament for Parlor, or Office. It can be seen at the «|;ere of O. W. Owen. CAPT JAMES NISH, County Treasurer made the Mcllenry Band a donation ot #10 for tfeelr services at the Re-lTuiou •f the 95th Regiment on the 5th iust. The boys were well ol eased with the way they were treated on that occasion, and of course did not ask anything for their services, but wish to thauk Capt. Kfish for this retneniberance. IN another place cau be found a call far a meeting to be held on Friday evening of this week, in the Ilall over Bishop's Warehouse, for the purpose of taking into consideration the matter of starting a Butter and Cheese Factory in this village. It is a matter in which •Very business man and farmer iu our town is interested. Let there be a good turn out. Bead the notice. THE officers of onr Comity Fair are leaving nothing undone that can tend to make the coming Fair a success in •very particular, and we are informed U never looked more favors ble for a good show in every department.-- Bveiy Farmer aud Stock Raiser in the county should in every manner possible aid the officers to make it a complete success. Bring out your line cattle, bogs, sheep, horses, grain, potatoes corn, and even if you do not get the blue ribbon you will help make the show and inspire a spirit of competition that may be of lasting benefit.

Waukegan has the prame and justly too, of holding the best Comity Fair tii the State. Their Grounds are ample and pleasantly lo­ cated, while the officers do ail in their power to do what they advertise, and please both exhibitors and visitors* Remember the date, from October let to 6th. n "• r-v JARVIS Tor RENCE, of this village, met with a severe and almost fatal accident,at the Libertyville Fair 011 Thursday of last week. The following account of it we take from the Wauke­ gan Gazette: "While the equestrian exhibition was in progress, 011 Thurs. day afternoon, quite a serious accident occnred, the particulars of which are as follows: Mr. Arthur Merrick was the escort of one of the ladies and rode a half-broken *>ut large and high mettled bay horse. As the party rounded the turn near the main entrance this horse left the track and ran into a crowd of p?Opli» Standing outside, striking Mr, Jarvifc Torrence, of McHenry, heavllv in the breast and shoulder and throw­ ing htm to the ground, giviug him a severe shock. The unfortunate man was able to walk around after the acci­ dent but was apparently suffering con­ siderably. It was the general verdict that Arthur ought, to break his colts before he exhibits them in such a crowded place." Mr. Torrence arrived home on Thursday evening, but on Friday was in a critical condition and sni!ering badly. Dr. Brown was called who upon examination found two of bis ribs fractured and the right lung badtj' bruised. Me f>» now improving as-fast as coVdd be expected. r TRACHKKS ASSOCIATION. The adjourned 'meeting of the Teachers Association will be held at the school hou-e ,|n the. village of Nunda, Saturday, Oct. 6th, commencing at ten A. M.

Smith has bought of his Brother George the farui tow occupied by Mr. Frank Smith. We think the, appearance of our. v.iHage might be much itnproved if each resident.would mow tlie weeds in front of theirrespective places and thus Wing to lights once more the long hidden sidewalk. "A young blood" by the name of Carr, hailing from Greenwood, came to til's place on the evening, of the 8th inst, with the declared intention of knocking Hubert Potter's two eyes Into one" but before he got through he would gladly have let the job to any one else as we are informed lie went home with one eye in ailing and his whole face in a condition not to be easily recognized by his own mother, while Hube escaped with hardly a scratch. BISMABK. CRYSTAL LAKE. EDITOR PLAIN DEALER.--Your not hearing from this piace last week was not owing so much to the wailt of news as to the want of time to chronicle the events of the week. A temperance meeting was held in the Baptist Church Friday evening, Sept. 7th, addressed by R"V» Mr. Woodward, of Elgin. That he is Msuc­ cess as a temperance lecturer we think all will agree who listened to his able remarks. ami our advice to societies looking for a speaker would be to en­ gage Mr. Woodward. A donation parly was h»dd at the Baptist Parsonage Wednesday, Sept. 12th. for the benefit of the Pastor, Iiev. B. P. Hewitt. The result was a pleas­ ant time ami between thirtv and forty dollars, which will not only be quite a l*elp to the Elder financially, hut a great encouragement. That the Church is prospering under his labors is evi­ dent from tfie fact that they have re­ paired to the Lake every month this .summer for baptism. The Literary Society Will be held Thursday evening,Sept.27th.- A ffreat many, not only members but others, look forward to I he meetings with in­ terest, but when they are put off two or thre? weeks lunger than the usual time they lose that interest and unless this thing is stopped we are afraid the society will not last a great while.

The front part of the room has been sepa­ rated from the rear part by a partition with folding doors, by which the two rooms may be conveniently used as one when necessary. The front part will be used for meetings, the back room for a reading room. Several people have donated books to the society; and although the intention of the society is to depend solely on their own exer­ tions, tlie presents are very thankfully received by the association. H The Birthday Parfy given at* J; -E. Beck ley's was largely attended by the young people of Nunda and vicinity and the presents were numerous aud very valuable. Messrs. Hatch & Butler are receiving a large stock of Fall goods in the shape of Dry Goods, B;>o:s and Shoes, and Ready made clothing. If you want any thing in their line don't tail to call on them. The Ladies Christian Temperance Union was held in the M. E. Church on l ist Friday evening. A lecturer from Chicago spoke to them after which the pledge was extended to all. There is a great deal of interest manifested in these meetings and we hope they will result iu much good. The Y. M, C. T.

The benefit of the Festival is for the Association as they want to carpet their reading room and furnish it with readlug matter. It is considered a donation aud festival combined.

On and after the 20th of September 1877 we shall adopt the Cash system. Shall charge goods to no one and shall entirely do away with the use of books for that purpose. We establish this system not merely for the present, not for the purpose of "shaking off" that class of customers known as notoriously slow pay or doubtful. On the contrary we expect to carry it out without auy deviation for all time to come. The advantages to the Cash System are obvious. It enables the merchant not only to buy his goods at a much lower ^cale of prices hut also to save the cdsh djiicotint which in a judiciously managed business will nearly or quite pay tlie running expenses. He can do away with the extrao expense for help necessary to conduct a credit business and can save to his customers not only the advantages above named, but the losses in cured which in the credit businest is unavoidably large from bad accounts.. It is an undeniable fact that the cash and prompt paying customers pay their proportion of these bad ac­ counts, or |n other words the merchant who does a credit business forms his hasis of percentage to cover the losses by bad accounts. It will be seen by our partial price list that we mean what we say and are ready to substantiate by figures as well as words the advantages of the cash system. Yours Respectfully. P, D. SMITH. McHenry, III. Sept. 4th, 1877. HOW IT IS DONE. The first object in life with the American people is to "get rich"; t'ie second, how to regain good health.

WOODSTOCK. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:-~An accident occurred at the pickle factory last Thurs* day night by which Mrs. Wilcox, resi­ ding near Franklinville, had one a VIM broken and the wrist of the other badly sprained. It was caused by upsetting the wagon when driving out at the south door. A lantern hanging at that end of the building would have preven­ ted this painful mishap. Twenty four hundred bushels of cucumbers were taken in at the factory last Saturday making thirty full tubs and the cry is, "Still they come." Saturdayevening the Are bell called the engine boys out to business when they were disgusted to find that in­ stead of a building, the fire was d( - vouring J. J. Murphy's hay stack which stood near enough to imperil his barn. No insurance.' The Baptist society hold a sociable at the residence of Mrs. L. 8. Church next Thursday evening.
