Sohrelner, came out to spend the Fourth with her parents In this village. STEVENS A SCHNOBK are on the Wool market again this season, prepared to fay the highest market price for the same. THE Party at the Parker Souse on the 4th was attended by about eighty ebuples, and was said by those present to be a very pleasant aud enjoyable affair. HILL & BARKER, Harness Makers* Wauconda, are showing up some very fine work in this line. While in that •village latelyjwecalled at their shop and noticed a sett of double Harness and one single Harness that it would be hard to beat. If you contemplate buying a new dress tor your horse, do not fail to call at their shop. THE game of Base Ball on the 4th, between the "Lakesides" of Wauconda and the "Riversides" of this ?Ulage, resulted in a victory lor the latter by a score of 41 to 17. Everything passed off with the utmost good feeling, and although the boys do not play down quite as fine S3 professionals, tliey seem to have just as much fun. The next game will be played at Wauconda, date not yet fixed. JJllOOin Speed Premiums.

In the Liter Ocean of Thursday last we find the following in relation to the two popular Chicago Clubs at Fox Lake: FOX LAKE. The Fox Lake Shooting and Fishing Club is oneot the institutions of the fcuild, which may be justly termed the recherche club, as it is more given to society pleasures than game. The ladies whose husbands are members are the ruliug spirits, and of a necessity the club assumes more of a watering place guise, and the restraint thus put upon the gentlemen somewhat lessens the ardor for sport* M[hfch is more or less barbaric at best. The other club* have termed the Fpx Lake the "Lardy- da Club," ai\d it tfould seem justly so. The club*owns two acres of land on a high blnfl on the shores of Fox Lake< Lake County* 111., sixty-five miles from this city> via Chicago A Northwestern Railway and Fox River. They.have a very pretty house of thirteen^ rooms built after the Swiss 'cottage style," comfortably furnished and can accom­ modate thirty people conveniently. The grounds are tastefully arranged as far as the steep declivity will permit, and large trees surround it on all sides. I ® i They have no boat-house as yet, but | own five boats, a sail boat and a steam­ er in partnership with the • Cedar Island Club. The view from the bal-eounty.

JOEL WHEELEU will acoept thanks for a very handsome Boquet left on our desk. Mrs. Wheeler has one ef the handsomest Flower gardens In this section. A ooon many of the new stars and comets read about in the newspapers are discovered by men who come home late and meet the clothes-llue across the bridge of their nose. THE Ladle* Church Aid Society of Blngwood, will meet at the residence of Richard Carr, 1J miles West of the Village, on Thursday, July 7th. MRS. WU. LANGIIAM, Secretary. THE McHenry boys who are working In the Pullman Brick Works at Chica­ go, accompanied by Superintendent Wentworth, were out to spend the Fourth. They all look as though that business agreed with them. THE business at the Clover Dryer Is about closed our a* far as Clover is concerned, but they intend to dry Cof-n there the present season. The business lias been so sucoessful here this year that Mr. Clayson contemplates largely Increasing It next season. FOR the past week the travel to Ge­ neva and Fox Lakes has been immense, every train being loaded to its utmost capacity. The hot weather drives everyone from the city who can afford it or their buslnes will allow them to • • TCKSDAT of th|i week may be set down as the most intolerable day of the season. The 'mercury was at a dangerous altitude, and when the breeze went down in the evening the temperature indicated the near ap­ proach of the final conflagration. To make along story short, it was--HOT. WE would direct the attention of our reader* to the card on the first page of Carl Carls. Johnsburgh. Mr. Carls 1ms recently enlarged his building and now has one of the most pleasant aud home like resorts for huuters and fishermen to be found on the line of the river.-- When in that section be sure to oall and see him. THE meeting of the Cemetery Com­ mittee, to see what is necessary to be done and make preparations to do it, will be held on the Cemetery grounds on Friday afternoou. instead of Thurs­ day. as heretofore announced. All per­ sons Interested in the Improvement of the Cemetery are requested to meet with the committee. COMETS have always hud a bad name and the later generations ot these celeffthil vagrants seem unwilling to do anything to improve the family reputation. Some of them have been Q< suspected of causing wars, others have lieen charged with great famines, and the recent arrival oilers an excellent esciise to every one who wants to keep bad hours. $10.

Harrison's Drug Store and at the Post Office EDITOR PLAIXDKALEU:--The news of the shooting of President Garfield which reached-Wauconda about noon, Saturday, spread like wild-fire and produced that Indescribable effect up­ on the people which is a characteristic of all such sudden and shocking revela­ tions. So anxious was everybody for later news that our enterprising Drug­ gist hired a team to go to McHenry early Sunday morning hoping to get some Sunday papers. It was the all absorbing topic during the day and so depressing is the outlook that your correspondent confesses to a great dis­ taste tor the curreut items of news. He will therefore, with your permission reserve them for next week. A FARMER says: "Four years ago my barn was fearfully infested with rats. They were so numerous that I had fear of ray whole crop being de­ stroyed by them after it was housed; but having two acres of wild pepper­ mint that grew in a field of wheat, cut and bound with the wheat, it drove the rats from my premises. 1 have not beeu troubled with them since, while uiy neighbors have any quantity of them.'1 I'HQSNIX INSUKANCK CO.HI*ANY COM- fANY, UARTFOU1), CONN.

The effects of either of these drusrs are destructiue to the system, producing any pleasant afternoon well repays a visit from the dusty city. The membership is limited to sixty, only seven vacancies appearing at pres­ ent. The officers are: M. A. Farwell, President; J. M. Nye, Secretary and Treasurer; G. II. C. Williams and J. M. Miller, Managers. Among the mem­ bers are noticed Messrs. II. N. May, James Leddv S. M. Emmons, C. L. Willoughby. J. W. Norwood, E. II. Goodrich* M. Ullrich, J. G. Davis, etc. This club, too,contemplates many Im­ provements, and it has the wealth to carry out what it deems necessary to the beautifying of this pretty resort. Game aud fish are plenty at certain seasons here. CKI)AR ISLAND. The Cedar Island Shooting Club Is another Chicago organization located | at Fox Lake, They are neighbors of the Fox Lake C!ub, though they do not claim any of the style or fashion that governs that resort. They "rough It," so to speak. The officers of this club are: Charles E. Pelton, President; O. II. Roach, Viee President; J. C. Pier- sou. Secretary and Treasurer. The membership is full at six^y names, aud they embrace Carlisle Mason, J. T. Reynolds, Dr. F. B. Porter, Charles Spauldlng, Dr. T. W. Miller, H. M* Kidder. B. R. Chambers^ E. A. Baker, H. F. Billings, etc. The club owns a very commodious house, and some five acres of land on this bluff, a good boat house and keeper's house, and are half owners of the Steamer Lotus, aud have thirty boats in the boat-house. The members go there for sport and a good tlme^and they get what they go for generally. Keal Kstute Transfers.

How anxin«{a|y leans evefy **ar to catch the tiding^, which all so much dread to hear. C#ur beloved, our great hearted President has been shot, an.1 can he survive, is the question asked with bated breath. Saturday night answer* "'without hope or room for ho(Ve." Sunday morning answers with slight encouragement. But dafe we hope? We had given up--that like the martyred Lincoln Garfield too must die, and hope inspiring news is too good to trust, nevertheless in be­ half of his congregation the man of God priiclalms from every sacred desk throughout the land, "Our President seems very much better. Is relieved from those excessive pangs from which he suffered at the time of our last de­ spatch and hopes are entertained of his complete recovery." God grant, sighs e'very soul. God be praised, pro­ claims the minister, and resumes his sermon. What strange beings wo are. When our President wag supposeJ to be out of itariti's way our converse waa full of criticism, and lie might do this or he might do that. A moment later, when we are made to know that he has fallen by the assassin's hand, and death is almost certain to ensue, how suddenly wc change our criticisms to words of praise and what would we not. do to bring him back to health, Favorable tidings from Washington gives room for hope. God forbid that such hopes be blighted, Monday, July 4th, 1 p. M. Since our last writing, George Fill- wehber, a German farmer living a few miles south of this, committed suicide by taking poison.

The universal expression of MMTOW aud indignation at the out­ rage shows iu how high estimation President Gartield is held by all par­ ties here--how strong ids hold npon the confidence and affections of the people.

CRISWOLD LAKE CHIPS EDITOR PLAIN DEALER :--The far­ mers are very busy iu our neighbor­ hood getting in their crop of clover. O. M. Hale has hired Samuel Tavlor to clear the brush from his pasture which i« quite an improvement. It in rumored around this neighbor­ hood that Charles Groves has bought Mrs. Moriey's farm. We notioe that R. G. Smith lias been getting his buggy newly painted and has put on a new top. Mr. Zero Webster purchased a new carriage whi'e iu McHenry last week from F. K. Granger. Mr, A. G. Smith's sister is keeping house for hi in during Mr. Beech's ab­ sence. Several of the farmers In this neigh- ln>rhood have purchased new Mowers tiiis season at McHenry. The old bridge has. all been drawn Ua^kexcept one span. Now wo would like to see the commissioners do (heir part, that is. to put it up. Mrs. K. Allonsby took a flying trip to Chicago with her daughter last week who was going West to meet her husband. The Bowery dance last week *was quite a success. The boys sold about twenty tickets. It was a splendid eve-,, silng, especially for Ihe mosquitoes.-- We had good music aud a splendid time. E. A. Goldlng, of Wauconda, was present with his large tent and plenty of refreshments. Win.

On the first day ot July the new post­ master. P. A. Potter, took possession of the office and removed it to his stor« on Broadway. He purchased of Mr. Aid-rich the box case used by him, so the appearance of things Is not much changed. We hope the new ad­ ministration may meet the public ap­ probation. Mr. Aldrich retires from the post office with the«ooil will,oC everybody. He was an efficient post mastor in ever}' particular, aud noted for his kindness and accommodation. He steps down and ^ut gracefully and without any whining, aud we feel it to be no more than straight justice to give him this kindly send oft. On Friday a little son of Wm. Ben­ nett, who lives near Keystom*, was stepped on by a horse and sustained a fracture of the leg below the ktfee. The child ran out to meet his father as he was returning from the field at noon and somehow gos under the horse's feet. He wns brought to Richmond to have the broken hones replaced, and is now doing as well as could be expect­ ed. If report is true, things at Twin Lakes will not, this season be as lively as usual. It Is said the Rockford Clubs, so many years campers at the Lakes, go to some resort in Michigan for this summer's recreation. Tliero are, how­ ever, several parties now encamped at the Lakes, and one can spend a very pleasant day there. The fishing is splendid. We. saw some extremely fine catches of black bass and pickerel which were made last week. Quite an exciting shooting match at glass balls came off on the grounds of the Richmond Gun Club on the 4th, between H. Chevillon and Thomas Wilson for ten dollars a side, two traps, 25 balls each, aud Bogardus rule6 to govern. Jo Osmond was scorer, aud Ed Young umpire.
