'-Phis store has a wide reputation for keeping none but the best of goods and selling as low as the lowest, aud with the proprietors experience in the bustness we do not see how it could be otherwise.

WE learn that Henry Hornby, Esq;,"of Solon, wasstopped by two masked men while going home from Woodstock one night,'last week, and while one held the horses by the head the other presented a pistol aud demanded fits money. Not having but little, and not wishing to part With it in so unceremonious a manner, he responded by striking the villiai* a powerful blow across the face with a heavy whip, which staggered him, and starting his team suddenly succeeded in loosing the grasp of the other villian aud started his team at a lively pace for home. The rascals gath­ ered themselves up. however, and fired two Shots after hint,- one whittling un­ comfortable close to his hqad,but with­ out doing him any injury. It was cer­ tainly providential that he escaped as ho did.; It is fearful to contemplate that here in McHenry county one is not safe If caught in 'the country after dark but^uch'seems.to be the c»$e, and peo­ ple might as well, realize the fact at once, and go prepared for such emer­ gencies.

THE Fairs at Woodstock and Wank- egan are both being held this week, aud quite a number of our citizens are Attending, McHenry being represented at both places. It was a great mistake that these Fairs were made to conflict, as we think it will prove to the detri­ ment of our County Fair, as the crowd from the West half of Lake County that usually go to Woodstock, will this week go the other way. KELTER, LEICKEM & Co., had one of their Patent Gates at the State Fair at Freeport, and it drew high encomiuuis from all who saw it. With their late Improvements it is indeed a "model Gate," and needs but to be seen to be appreciated by the farmers. Their latest improvement is in a Latch? which is a little ahead of anything we ever saw in this line. Their Gate will be at the Fair at Woodstock, this week, and no one who is there should fail to give it a thorough examination. A GERMAX friend of ours (we wOut call names) took a little ride into the country last Saturda-j'and called at the ho'n^tf of a fanner. The farmer hap­ pened to l>e out and so our friend strolled into the gardeu while waiting his return.

The following notice of the death of Judge Edsen we find In the ; Pulaski Patriot^ published at MouncJ City, 111. As he was formerly a resident of Mcllehry, we gife it iu^ulj forthe ben- fit of our readers^ • ( DIEI>.--Near Villa Ridge; 9th 1S77, Judge Obed Edson, aged 81 years. The jdeceased had been a resident of this county about 16 years, an«t by hab­ its of strict rectitude aud honesty in business, aud plain unostentatious hos­ pitality had endeared himself to a large circle of acquaintanetfs and friends, and left avoid ditflcult to All. Judge Edson occupied many positions of houorand trust, and in all his official relations, .while candid and generous, yet was always mindful of the tfue responsi­ bility of the position occupied and the trust reposed iu him. It has only been a few years since he and his aged cout sort (who went before, just four months to a day proceeding his death) celebra­ ted an event replete with interest and accorded to but few, their "golden wedding,'" apdnow we mourn the death of both. The funeral was the largest and prob­ ably the most imposing ever witnessed in this countv. From all parts of the county came friends on foot, horseback and in carriages, also a train load of Masobs in regalia from Cairo. The deceased was buried by this order, who were represented by allegations'from. Cari'o. Mound City, Caledonia, Grand Chain, and his own local lodge. Villa Ridge. Services were also had at the Methodist Church, conducted by Rev. Mr, Gilmau of Cairo. ;Ripe in years, he has passed from us. loved, respected, and honored' by all May his virtues long be cherished.

After the exercises came the election of officers for the next three months, which resulted as follows: Presideut, E. M. Thompson, Vice President M. D.

The programme will be published next week. . Sept, 2oth being the fifth anniversary of thfe wedding of C. H. Lanning and wife, their friends met with them for the purpose of celebrating it and having a good time, each bringing some article of wood, either useful or ornamental, which will enable them to keep in rememberancs the occasion as well as the givers. The marriage ce ri- mony was reperformed by Rey. B. P. Hewitt whose remarks consisted of good souud advice, min*gled with fun. After this came supper which cousisted of all the good things that good cooks can think of. We think all felt that they had had a splended time and wished such times would come oftener.

EOITOR PLAIXDKALER:--Of latin your communications from this city have partake n somewhat of the character oil au irregular regularity, not on account; of indisposition, no disposition or in­ difference but frotto a waut of time.

'I'he Greenback Convention met in tit* Supervisors room of the Court House,court beiag in session and was called to order at tea minutes past two p. M. by W. D. Ringiaud who was made Secretary and J.

Bitzer then took the floor and moved a committee of live be appoint­ ed by the chair to retire select and report to the convention the names of proper persons to be vetted for as candi­ dates for the various county offices. The vote being carried, and the com­ mittee having kept the meeting waiting half an hour presented its re­ port which after an animated discus­ sion it was voted uot to receive. The convention then proceeded to its nom Inations which-resulted as^ follows, Clerk Wm. Avery. Judge O. H.Gil more Treasurer G.T.Kassou. Superintendent Schools, A. W. Cumins. Ralph E. Hoyt of Chisago then addressed the conven­ tion on the Greenback question, telMng some plain truths in language plain enough for any one to understand, claiming tiiat the money that conld be paid to the soldier and sailor without charge or repudiation, could just as well be paid to tho bondholder iu satisfaction of his claims in which Squeers coincides. He was obliged to cut his speech short in order that he might uot lose the train. It was ex­ pected by some that a Greenback Club would be organized and they were ready to join, but nothing was said about it. After taking up a contribu­ tion for the speaker the meeting ad­ journed. Mark Hickox and Homer Abbott IiaVe bought the Abuer Bidwell farm, upon which Homer is to move immediately he and Bidwell swopping houses. We believe it is the intention of the parties to go into the fancy stock business. As they are energetic men understaud- ding cattle thoroughly, with ample means at command and such an institu­ tion is needed iu this locality, they have the best wishes of all lovers of line stock. Leander Church has again made his appearance upon our streets. The Congregational Society has its eatiug house in readiness aud will furnish meals at 40 cents, not 50, as many seem to understand. The managers intend to give just as good meals as any of the hotels do. As to the Fair, the great question appears Jto be water and the Secretary answers me that there is sufficient ou the grounds to meet all possible de­ mands. New stalls have been built. Thorn of Marengo has entered eleven head of his best blooded stock, while Edwards and Patrick of the same place have prtunised to be present with stock. !From Ull ' appearances now, there will be tho finest exhibit of cattle for many years.

The Hebron Dramatic Association give an entertainment at Union Hall, on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 5th and 6th, when will be presented the beau­ tiful and romantic Drama entitled the "Bridal Wreath," to conclude with the burlesque of "Rip Van Winkle." The Club have spared no pains or money to have this one of tho best entertain­ ments that has ever been in Hebron, and think it. will be well worth the time and money to give them a call. The people seem to take some inter­ est in our town as we see two new and beautiful residences going up. One to be occupied by Ira Turner and the oth­ er by Miss Carrier, for Dress Making and Millinery. F. E.

Fearing that the Occasion of our long silence since the appearance of the article refercd to may be misapprehended by some qf your readers, and the; charges therein prefered bo sustained, combined with cowardice, by our silence, we gffhjply give the subject a passing notice Iu ac­ cord with its import. "Fair Play" is evidently one of those fellows known iu the song,, as, "One of the Commission­ ers,'* for tho prevention of cruelty to animals. A philanthropic individual, with a nasal protuberance reaching far beyond his vision, ns he has evidently run his proboscis against something un- pleasiug. which he has not seen. We won't "squeal" on you old chap, se pitch in and do your best, you will no doubt get well paid for your trouble. Your correspondent "Bismark," in his communication of Sept. 19th, evi" dently made a very grave mistake and one that he appears quite slow to cor„ rect, as he has uo doubt long since been informed of his error. We rqfer to his statement in regard to a "young blood" from Greenwood, <kc. Will he please make tho correction and oblige our town, and the young men residiug herein, by the name he has given. In justice to the "Carr boys." as they are familiarly known, who reside In this town we would say, that they are young men whose. characters are above reproach and were never known to quarrel with any oue, consequently it is not strange that a feeling of, Indig" nation should arise on the part of the boys and also of the town, which may justly feel a pride In possessing such worthy young men. l^iore is more than one train of Carrs "Bismark," so next time look a little more closeiy at the headlight. There has/bcon cfensidcralilfe sickness throughout diftereut parts of the town, for, the past few weeks and it is a little surprising that there is not more con­ sidering the extreme hot, dry atmos­ phere which has so long prevailed. We ourselves have been quite indis­ posed for the past two weeks which accounts in part forouif absence from your columns. The perfusion of new fine carriages lately brought into town, reminds the poor pedestrian as he plods along foot­ sore and wearj', no doubt, of the oft quoted remark of poor Pat, as he stood •"'iewing the fiue carriages pass by, be exclaimed, "The rich can ride inchazes but the poor, Be Jases, let theni walk.*' First on the list is Geo.
