These sling shots are becoming altogether to common with our boys. They are not only dangtrous but a nuisance in every particular.

EDITOR PLAINDKALER:--The wel­ come, thrice welcome showers is the grand hailing sign of saiute among all classes, whether animal or vegetable. The best evidence that Saturdays are busy days In Woodstock Is the fact that the assessors of adjoining towns can catch more of their, subjects of assessment here th^i by visiting their homes.

We are just Informed of the sudden death of John Thomas, an old resident and well known farmer of Richmond. His death occurred on Thursday night. June 2d. He bad a paralytic stroke sometime ago. « On Friday Charles Andrews, who lives near Spring Grove, while chop­ ping in the woods, struck at a limb, when the ax glanoed and cut a herrtble gash in his leg. The blade of the ax glanced off the right side ot the shin bone &nd burled Itself deeply in the muscles of the calf of the leg. News has just reached us of the death of Alvah Marsh, father of Henry Marsh, of this Township. Deceased was born In Brattleboro, Vermont, Nov. 13th, 1796, and died at Half Moon Bay,California, on the 22d day of May 1881, having, as will be see-i. attained the great age of 84 years. 8 months and 9 days. He was for a number of years a resident of Illinois, at Napersvllle and Sycamore, and removed to Cali­ fornia in (he year 1867 or thereabout. On Wednesday evening, Juno 1st. at a late hour, A. R. Alexander, of the Arm of Alexander A Hyde, took a new boarder into his family. This boardur is a young lady of very prepossessing appearance, of good temper an<^ ab­ stemious habits, her diet being milk alone. Happily Mrs. Alexander is not of ajealous disposition, so we presume no discord will follow this young mal. den's becoming a member of the fam­ ily, Congratulations. Very pleasant festivities occurred at the house or Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Ercan- brack, last Tuesday morning, the occa­ sion being the marriage of their only daughter, Delia, to Chas. S. Sherman, of the Elgin Watch Factory, and for­ merly a resident of Richmond. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. DeLap, of the Methodist Church. The company was not a large one. only the intimate friends and re­ latives of the contracting parties be­ ing present. Tlio newly married took the afternoon train for their Inme in Elgin. Miss Gertrude Johonnott, of Richmond, acted as bridesmaid and a young friend of the groom's eame up from Rlgln to act as groomsman, Mr, Sherman 1ms always been considered one of our msjt reliable ant! i*opn!ar young men and his bride as one of Richmond's fairest daughter*. Our best wishes, with those of hundred other friends accompany the young couple. By the time this communication reaches the readers of the PLAINDKA­ LER. the new proprietor of the Rich­ mond House will have finished tliu re­ pairs of the house anil be ready for business. These repairs are so exten­ sive and of so thorough a nature that it almost a.nounts to a rebuilding of the Uiside of the house. The reuova» ting process Is going on from cellar to garret. Every room will be newly pa­ pered. calsomlned, painted and car­ peted, and every article of furniture from kitchen to bed room including the crockery Is new. from the manufact­ urers hands. One of the greatest Im­ provements will be the conversion of the Itrge room heretofore used as a bar room, into a baggage room and reading room. The latter will be nice­ ly carpeted and upholstered |n an ele­ gant and ' most comfortable manner, and furnished with tablet, writing ma­ terials and the nc^Ws of the day. It is Mr. Culver's intention to make the Richmond House a first-class hotel in every respect, a credit to the town and a real home for his guests. We hope his most brilliant expectations will be mere than realized, and that the peo­ ple of Richmond will, to a man, give Mr. Culver the encouragement he seems determined to deserve. Success to the new management. Outside of the great trade centers, no locality presents 4 more inviting field for enterprising men to Invest in business than Richmond. Surrounded by one of the finest farming districts in the world, snd furnishing a good market for everything the agricultur­ ist may produce. It ought, also, to be a great distributing point for manufac­ tured articles. Almost any manufact­ uring business started here, if conduct­ ed with energy, would at once become a paying Investment. Unfortunately the most of our capital is In unenter­ prising hands and finds Investment in Government bonds and farm mort* gages, at a low rate of interest, instead of being put into business where it would pay a much larger return and Ft the same time help build up the town. One good, live business man,, with twenty thoucand dollars capital would do more for Richmond in Ave years than ail its money lenders have done since Hs first settlement. But now and then a man has the foresight to com­ prehend the possibilities of this loca­ tion, and among them we take pleas­ ure in mentioning the name of A. P. Gray, who has lately added another to the business institutions of the village. Mr. Gray's new Carthage and Black­ smith Shop is very advantageously lo­ cated on the Northeast corner of Main and Mill streets. It Is a good substan­ tial structure, 24x60 on the ground and two Jtories high. The grouud floor i* divided Into two rooms.one of which is devoted to the wood and the other to the blacksmiths work, while the second floor Is similarly divided Into paint shop and ttore room. The wood work department is under the personal supervision of Mr. Gray himself, the blacks mi thing is done by H. Heck, and the palnttng by G. A. Canfield. all first class workmen in their special lines.-- Mr. Gray is now ready to take orders for anything In his line, such as top buggies,single or double, open buggies road wagons, platform wagons. lumber wagoin, phaetons, &c„ all of which will be manufactured of the beat ma­ terial and In the moat substantial and artistic maimer. Mr. Heck is recom­ mended as having no superior In black- smithing. especially in horseshoeing and the repairing of plows and reapers Mr.Canfield will do general painting as well as the flue shop work. Alto­ gether the establishment Is one that should add materially to the business Interests of the village, and should meet the eneouragemen; suoh an en­ terprise deserves. We have always kept a close watch foranynewsln regard to the much talked of and long waited for Air Line Railroad through this place to Chicago having never lost faith In the ultimate building of a direct line from Chicago to somo point North, to connect with the Northern Pacific, probably at or near Duluth. We have already Inform­ ed our readers that the franchises of the old oompanv have passed into the hands of a new one and that the State of Wisconsin had given a large land grant to help the enterprise. The fol­ lowing special to the Chicago Timet of last Thursday shows that the new com­ pany means business. Just hold your breaths, O ye of little faith. A N«w Itoad, DCI.UTH, Minn.. May 31.--There nre now convincing indications that a new railroad from Duluth to Chicago will he in operation before long. A full corps of engineers under charge of A. B. Schofield arrived here last night and will immediately begin surveying the route on an air line from the South side of St. Louis hay to Chicago. By the terms of the charter a portion of this road, beginning at Its northern terminus, must be built before the first of May next year in order to secure the laud grant, and consequently work will lie begun without delay. This road Is looked forward to with a great deal of Interest by the twin cities at the head of the lakes, Superior and Duluth, as the more outlets to the east that both these cities have the more rapid will be their progress. ----------ip GREENWOOD. EDITOR PLAINDKALVR:-»AFTER a mouth's intermission during which we have'been uncommonly bu«y, attend, lug to necessary farm work Incident to this season of the year, which has left us little time or Inclination to write up "Items" for publication, we again resume the pen, commencing where we left oil. If we remember aright the last sub­ ject on the tapis undisposed of, was tlitt interesting linguistic enigma, ^envious jealousy," which y««ir Wood­ stock corres|>ondent appears to think it sufficiently solved and ex­ plained by Webster, the Lexicogra­ pher, In conjunction with Stewart, the Metaphysician. Though *Vet»*;er de- flues clearly the words envy and jeal­ ousy, we cannot Mud that he throws any light on the complex idea Indicat­ ed by the compound word in question. We can understand readily enough that a person can entertain envy and jealousy at the same time with refer­ ence to one and the same individual, buc these sentiments, remain separata and distinct, the one from the other, as states or conditions of the mind. How they can amalgamate, producing a sort of metaphysical hybrid. Is more than we at present can comprehend. Per­ haps the gentleman will be so good as to explain and also to point out sec­ tion and page in Stewart where the principles applying to thif> subject are treated of. elucidated and set in order, and also tell us what is said. Your correspondent who was so kind as to take our place last week has our thanks. There was in Ills article a certain something which looked allttle queer in one or two Instances. But we do not mention this in the way of cen­ sure, or to detract in anywise from the general character of the communica­ tion, which was, indeed, excellent. In fact, there was one expression which deserves particular notice as an exam­ ple of that nice and discriminating use of language which evinces a dcle- eate appreciation of the nature of the subject about which your correspond­ ent was writing. We allude to the wordulimbH used iu describing the ac­ cident which happened to Mrs. Peatt, of this place. Those unfamiliar with the etiquette recognised-and accept­ ed ii| genteel society may not be aware that "limb" is a term applicable to the Species Hoiuo, designates that portion of the female structure for which leg is the equivolent in the anatomical description of the male.-- This is a nice distinction which Is not always observed. We have an Instance analogous in the use of the word stom­ ach, which is understood to refer, in the male, to that receptacle for food where the process of digestion Is car­ ried on. As applied to the opposite sex, tills term lias a mucli more extend­ ed signification, including not only this--digestive apparatus--but also other eompartinents and subdivisions not necessary to particularise here.-- We mention these little matters be­ cause w4 like to notice these' evidences of culture anil taste in the members of our fraternity. The accident spoken of was caused by a fall from a misstep in walking hastily from the house, the fracture taking plaoe in the large bone a few Inches above the ankle. The p» tlent Is, undoubtedly, In cpmpetent hands,as all the applicances known to surgery designed to keep the fractu*. ed ends of the bone in place, are be* lieved to have been put in requisition If fciod nfttture does her pert,our neigh bor. It le hoped will be rom4 again soon. One of the bridges crossing the Kip peasink at tills place is now In a con- di iion to be used by the traveling pub­ lic. Preparations are now being made, to put up the other bridge as speedily as possible and grade the road. Our neighbor. J. P. Daase, wishes us to thsnk his friends, in Ills name, for tke assistance rendered in euabltng him to go to a distant city In order te have a critical surgical operation per- formed which he hopes may prolong his life and stay among them.
