SAYS a nervous editor: Genevieve Ward is shocked beyond expression because men and women are compelled to sleep in the same sleeping car. It is dreadful.

L. nai l , .Secretary of the Chicago Driving Park, we learn that on Saturday next, Ju'y 23d, "Maud S.." the unrivaled Queen of the Turf, will trot three heats to heat her own unparalleled record of 2:10J. It is confidently expected that the "fastest horse in the world" will trot the "fastest track in the world." in 2:08. No lover of flue trotting should fail to see this wonderful mare on Sat­ urday next. We hear of quite a num­ ber who will go from this place. ONE of our New York exchanges gives the following remarkable cow story? "Mr. Leeward 4**w»fc,-of Burke. is authority for the statement that a gen­ tleman in that town owns a cow which three years ago, gave birth to two calves; two years ago two calves; one year ago four calves and the present year three, a total of eleven calves within 38 months. The weight of the last '•litter" is 145 pounds, two weigh­ ing 50 pounds each and the third 45 pounds. The cow is now sevoii years old and is of Durham blood." THE COUNT* FAIR. Less than two months remain beJfore the Annual Fair of the McHenry County Agricultural Board will be held, alul It behooves every citizen of the county who has the success of this institution at heart, to bestir them­ selves that the Fair may be equal, if not ahead of any former year. The officers of the society are leaving noth­ ing undone on their part, and if the farmers, stock-raisers, dairymen, fruit­ growers, house-wives, and in short every man. woman and child in the county will but do their duty, the largest exhibition ever known in the county will be the result. The premiums offered are the most liberal, arid there is no person but who can do something towird the exhibi­ tion, Let every farmer now com­ mence to look over his stock and see what he has that he can put on exhibi­ tion and make ready to do so. Bring in your fancy blooded cattle, horses, hogs, sheey, chickens; your best prod­ ucts of the field and garden, butter, cheese, and in short any thing and ev­ erything that will make a display and tend to interest and draw a large crowd. It is true you cannot all get the first premium, but you will be able to learn something from the success of your neighbor, and perhaps next year will be better prepared to successfully compete. It is al these yearly gath­ erings that the farmer, mechanic, and even the merchant and banker learn something that in after years proves of untold benefit to them. Here we all get together for a few days recreation from business,-and not only see what is on exhibition.but exchange views on subjects pertaining to our calling, artd all are more or less benefitted thereby. Therefore we say to our readers let each one do his part towards making the Fair of 1881 a success in every par­ ticular. As we said before the officers are doing their part well,1 and if the citizens of the county, who should be deeply interested in this matter, will only put their shoulders to the wheel, the Fairof 1881 will be the largest ever held in the county. In addition to the uAual programme some of the most noted celebrities of the county will be present each day of the Fair. The Fair opens September .13th, and continues four days. WE are under obligations to J. A. Baldwin. Esq., of the U. S. Attorney's office, for an official National Bank Note Dotector.

Aix kind* of Farm Machinery at bottom iuicett, at E. Al. Oweu A buu'». ABOUT the smallest and meanest trick we have heard of in some time was the following: A fanner. W. W. Wood, was driving with a load of oats between Volo and Hainesville some time since, when he accidentally lost, oft two bugs, containing about three bushels each. A neighbor came along soon after, picked them ouc of the road and stood thein by the side of the fence. Shortly after another in­ dividual who, Mr. Wood says, lives not a thousand miles from McIIeury. came along and delibeiately took one of the bags of oats, put It into his wagon and carried it home. This in­ dividual is well known to Mr. Wood, and if he wishes to save trouble, will do well to call and settle without de­ lay. The price of the oats is small but the act is contemptible.

Harrison's Drat Store arid at the Post office EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--The exces­ sive Iteat which has prevailed the past week has had a very quieting effect on everybody, hence the scarcity of gen­ uine news Items. Regarding the Rail­ road excitement there Is not much new to report. The committee held a meeting Saturday p. M., and arrauged lor an active and thorough canvass dur­ ing the coming week. A meeting of the people of this vicinity is called for next Saturday evening at 8 o,clock in Hill A Barker's Bowery, or should the weather be unfavorable in Mai­ nland Hall, those gentlemen having kindly donated the use of their re­ spective halls. It is expected that a large delegation from Lake Zurich will be present ready to report pro­ gress in that section and to arrange a plan tor concerted action. Gentlemen here who are abundantly able and who have already signitied their intention of donating $500 for a Road are now talking seriously of increasing their subscriptions to a thousand dollars* lr is earnestly hoped that every inan who feels an interest in the growth and prosperity of this section will be pres­ ent at this meeting. Those who think a"rallroad Is coming here anyway" are especially urged to attend. The "true inwardness" of a scheme of this magnitude oeii not be attained in a day nor in many days. Sitting on a cracker bosC, hearing a rumor and j'imping at econclusion will never se­ cure a railroad. Those, then, who claim to knoglf that a road is coining here whether a subscription is raised or not,wouhl be nothing less than pub­ lic benefactors if they would come for­ ward and tell the poor stupid fellows who difier with them how they know what theyoprafess to know. The prevalnng monotony of village life was seriously broken on Saturday last by a series o( running races in the main street. The tirse race between one of John.Pratt's horses and a horse owned by l&ftife Burton, resulted, we are told, in a victory for Mr. Burton's horse"by something like a half length. At any rate it was quite close. Fol­ lowing this r|ce came a remark from a by-stauder--a stranger to the writer-- to the eflect that he "had a plug that Could clean out the town." Several horse owners present thought the town needed a good cleaning out (to get it iu good shape-fer the railroad) and the stranger and his plug were "distanced." "scooped." "cleaned out," and "used as mops," In a verj trifle of time. What­ ever other bad things cm be said of Waucouda a great many good horses are raised hereabouts, and a 6tranger who coiues here to "dean out the town" want* te bring a pretty respect­ able sort of nag with him or he may fail to carry out his contract.

July 14,188U THE committee of Ladies who have had the matter of improvements at the Cemetery in charge are deserving of great praise for the excellent man­ ner in which the work lias been done. The trees and shrubbery have all been trimmed up, the grass mowed, the rub­ bish raked oft, the lots raised and leveled, and the walks graveled, and now the resting place of our dead pre­ sents a very handsome appearance.-- And right here we wish'to say a word to children and others who are in the habit, of plucking flowers in the Ceme­ tery, and that is--don't do It. These flowers are (»ut there by the owners to ornament their lots, and whether thoughtlessly or otherwise, it is wrong to take thein. We trust everybody will bear this in mind and do iu this case as they would like to be done by.
