WALTER Htrx, Captain. To Our Subscribers. We wish to again remind our sub­ scribers, and especially those who are In arrears, that Volume Six hns just closed, and we earnestly request all who know themselves indebted to us one year or more, to call and settle the aame at once. Were we a Rothchild or a Vanderbllt, these little matters might not be of so much importance, hut as our circumstances are very much different than the above named we need every dollar that I ? our due. We have a large number on our books who owe us from one to six rears subscrip­ tion, and to such we say we must insist that you square up the same without delay. The amount is small to you but in the aggregate is large to us and w« need it to use. We hope we may not be obliged to ask for it again. To those of our subscribers who have always paid us promptly in ad­ vance, we wish here to return our thanks, and in the future as in the past, we shall spare no pains to give them a paper worthy of their support. BOTH Steamers made trips to the Lakes on Sunday last. QUITE a large number Df our citizens are complaining with cholera morbus and colic, CRAMP, cramp, cramp, the boys are marching. Cheer up, watermelons and cucumbers have come. H. NORQUEST is building an addition to his dwelling, which is situated at the soutInvent corner of the Park. TKKY have commenced taking in Cucumbers at the Factory. In about a week business will be lively in that in­ stitution. H. E. WIOHTMAX is building a new Livery barn at the foot of the street, near his residence. It is to be 30x50 with 16 foet posts. WE learn that a pk'ktip Nine from this village will play a game of Ball with the Barrington Club,at Waucoh- da, on Friday of this week. JacoB BISHOP was the recipient of a very fine present from friends in Chi­ cago last week, in the shape of a $50 range. Such friends are worth having. A leopard never changes spots. A mosquito does, however. It will settle In a new spot every live seconds, and King all the time he Is changing. THE day is coming, says an exchange "when a letter will go anywhere in the United States tor one cent, a despatch for ten cents and a man for a cent a mile." THE public school building is re­ ceiving a new coat of paint, both in­ side, and out. which will greatly Im­ prove its appearance. Curtis and Per­ kins arc doing the work. WE had the pleasure, a few days since, of paying a visit to the new Fox Lake Club House, and had intended to give a description of the same this week, but time and space will not per­ mit, but shall do so in nur next. McflEMtT is well represented on the Jury for the September Term of Court. The names drawn from this town are: On Grand Jury, Edward Griswold. On Petit Jury, Chas. T. Ehlrerige, Leonard Bonslett. C. V. Stevens. F. A. He bard, Benj. Gilbert and Win, Harrison. WE understand John has quit buy­ ing hogs and gone into the clothing trade. Whether wholesale or retail we are not Informed, We believe, though, the last lot bought was not de­ livered. John is called on to rise and explain. E. BUCK, of Crystal Lake, sold two colts the past month, one four and the other live years old. for the handsome itiffl of #500 each. They were by Lake­ land Abdallah and from the dam of Red Cross, and were two as promising fillies as could be found lu this part of the State. A "CAREFUL HOUSKEKPER" says: Do not iron a red tablecloth at all. Wash it carefully in. warm suds. not hot. rinse well, and when ready to hang on the line take great pains to pullitso that it will keep proper shape. It will retain its color much longer than if ironed. We don't see why the revised edition won't suit a big percentage of folks. It .has just as handsome bindings, looks as well on tiie centrc table and U just as good tQ press leaves with. DR.

NICHOLS has just returned from the city with another lot of Ready Made Dresses, and a full stock of Ladies' Underwear, Notions, etc. Call and examine them and learn prices, MRS. EVANS, the Omaha lady who has just astonished the world and her husband by giving birth to two boys and two girls, should remember that four of a kind beat two pair, and show her humility accordingly. *Evans! what a woman! As the season is at hand when "Per­ sonals" are numerous, we would be obliged to our friends to re­ port items of the kind. It is the uni­ versal opinion of the conductors of well edited city and country journals that no department of a newspaper inter­ ests so many people as the personal column. It Is unlucky to fall out of a third story window on Monday. To meet a red-headed woman on Tuesday (espec­ ially if you owe her anything.) To break a $40 mirror an Wednesday. To dream you see red snakes or green mon­ keys on Thursday. To get hung on Friday. To lose §2.50 on Saturday. Or get locked up on Sunday.. Paste this in your hat. LOST, on Saturday, July 23d. in this village, a Note for 8400, given by Winslow Parker to K. E. Thorson. due one day after date. All persons are hereby cautioned against negotiating for said Note, as payment on the same lias been stopped. The finder will be suitably rewarded by returning the same to K. E. Thorson. at the Parker House. WE learn that C. L. Curtis, of Med­ lar's Photograph Gallery, Woodstock, has an order tor some views at Fox Lake, and will go up on Friday of this week for the purpose of making them, and we can assure our Fox Lake friends that they are sure of a number one picture, as the views coming from Medlar's Gallery are surpassed by none. There are many fine huildines and points at the Lake, and parties should avail themselves of Mr. Cnrtis' presence to get fine pictures of the same. Ax individual was brought before Eeq. Perry, on Monday morning, on the charge of attempted burglary, who was certainly a genius in his way. On being asked by Esq. Perry his business lie said he was "an editor at large." That when lie had good clothes and plenty of money, he -vus a traveler, but. in his present condition, ragged, dirty and dead broke, he was a tramp. During the examination it was found that he was a man of education and ability, spoke five different languages, and at one Mm'? was editor of a paper in Jersey City. From his appearance it was evident that whiskey had beat him. The charge against him no; be­ ing sustained, he was discharged, and took Street & Walker's line for the next town. Jimott*.

McHenry, and examiue them. WAUCONDA. , eWSUBSfRlPTIONS for the PLAnrDEALBW wfll .be received in Wauconda at P. B. Harrison's Drug Store ami at the Post Ottce EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--We come to your readers this week with a feeling that some of the recent criticisms in this column in regard to the progress of the Railroad Committee may have been premature. At any rato the good solid work of the past week has been very gratifying to all concerned, unless, perhaps, to those who have worked, for it is difficult to imagine any thing more disagreeable or discourag­ ing than that of trying to make your neighbor see and do that which is for his own best good, when all the time you are conscious that he regards you as a bore and wishes you wouldn't bother him. Thus a man will readily admit that a railroad to this place would enable him to sell his lande-isiiy for #5.00 per acre more than lie could now get.--very few, if any, will deny that--and we will suppose he has a hundred acres, in which case the sale­ able value of his laud is increased $500. Now ask that man to agree to give 0100, in cane the road is established, not a cent otherwise, and quite frequently, so the committee state, he will de­ cline. Iu other words, ask him to pay #100 for $500, under safe conditions, and he refuses. Is that not enough to discourage " most, anyone ? But the committee seem to have well iu mind the fact that because a man says "no" once,it does not follow that he will never say "*yes," and Messrs. Burritt, R. Harrison, and Dr. Wells, who have done by far the greatest share of the work, are still at it in dead earnest. If the other members of the commit­ tee are working at all it is on the "still hunt" plan. LakeZiuich people held a meeting on last/* Thursday evening, which was attended by a number of Waucondaiaus, and the day following began to circulate a subscription pa­ per, so that by next week we hope to report something definite regarding the prospect. About 812.000 has been subscribed in both places at this writ­ ing. and there is good rea>ou to hope that at least 95,000 more can bo raised in Wauconda during the coming week. A genuine, live tramp rarely appears in Wauconda. hence the appearance on our streets on Tuesday last of two strange and by no means prepossessing individuals excited considerable com­ ment and led to unusual care when the time came to bolt the doors for the night. Mr. Tnggart. the veteran mason, lost his balance in some way while en­ gaged at his work on the foundation to the mill addition, and fell into the cellar, about ten feet, sustaining se­ vere, though not dangerous injuries from which he is rapidly recovering. During the absence of the family on Wednesday last, a tramp gained ad­ mission to the house of Mr. Imsen near Honey LAke, and stole several pieces of'jewelry whids were greatly valued by the owners as heir looms, some of them being very old. The day follow­ ing a party of the neighbors were up this way in search of the thief, but we regret to say were not successful in overtaking him. Thursday a team belonging to Moses Beach started from In front of Chris Thomas' shop, and made a reckless cir­ cuit of the mill yard, miraculously missing a btisjgy by a few inches, as they passed between it and Coggln's barn, and were finally stopped, having done no damage other than to tear out a section of fencing. Friilay witnessed two of those ex­ ceedingly pleasant gatherings known as family picnics in Mr. Ladue Hill's grove, near the point. (See the point?) One party is said to have met in honor of Mr. Ault. of Louisiana, and the other for the entertainment of Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Harrison, of Chicago. A romp in the woods will make the babie6 cro«s and all ban:1s as tired as wood cifrtppers and as hungry as hy­ enas, so of course its a good thing and as we have such splendid grounds for tne purpose so oonveniently located, family picnics should be more fashion­ able than they are. Ambrose Hill suddenly left home on Thursday night last. It is supposed he is in Chicago and will return to as good a hoineas any boy in Lake coun­ ty could wish for as soon as he gets hungry and ragged. B. K. Duers strained Ills ankle a few days since and is quite lame in conse­ quence. Messrs. McDonald and Barnard and their families have been visiting with Mrs. Wm. Hammond. Mrs. Raymond and her daughter Mrs Johnson and Mrs. Cyrus Bowen and daughter are the guests of J. R. Wells. Rev. Mr. Burchott and family, of Oregon, are the guests of P. S. Swin- soii. Ed. Fletcher returned Saturday from Minnesota, whither he went last week to witness the death and burial of his father aged 85 years. Geo. Pratt plucked a fine mess of sweet corn in his garden Sunday morn­ ing last. Rev, Mr. Burchett preached In the Baptist Church Sunday morning and evening to full houses. Quite a number of our teachers have signified their intention of attending the Teachers Institute at JLiberty- •1 lie next week. An unsuccessful attempt was made duriug the past week to dig out the outlet to the lake. The village trus' tees should take steps to make tills sort of thiajC:a punishable offense.

No man can do a good job of work, preach a law suit well, doctor a pa­ tient, or write a good article when he feels miserable and dull, with sluggish brain and unsteady nerves, and none should make the attempt in such a con­ dition when it can be so easily ant! cheaply removed by a little Hop Bit­ ters.

This is what the Geneva Lake Her­ ald says about ou r Chicago & North Pacific Air Line It. R.y-^~'^x Railroad Commissioner Turner, in reporting the work on new railroads in this State, says /that Contractor Angle, one of the /greatest railroad builders in the Uimed States, lias a force of 3.000 merf at work grading on the C. & N.

Haythom. of the firm of Smith & Haythom. liaA commenced a system of improvements in his store that will make it one of the "finest bus­ iness places iu the county. The par­ tition in the south end of the store has been taken out and a store room is to be built where tlio old south plat­ form used to stand. The whole in­ terior of the store is to be remodeled and refiuished. When the improve­ ments contemplated are finished. Smith & Haythorn will have oneof ^he handsomest stores in the West. For anything in the line of Uroceries go to J. V. Aldrich's ' Every year more and more of the people of Woodstock come to appre­ ciate the beauties of our Twin Lakes. Forborne time their tents have been pitched on those to be classic shores. It was our good fortune, one day last week, to spend a pleasant hour with these people, and we shall long cherish it in memory. We tried to get a list of the Woodstock people at the La£es that day, but presume it is imperfect. Here it is: Mac Church and wife, A. L. Salisbury. Win. H.,Stewart aud wife, O. H. Gilmore and wife, Peter Whit­ ney, Eii. Donnelly, C. II. Donnelly, Eliza Donnelly, Hannah Donnelly, Mrs. Marceila Donnelly, Mary Donnelly, Frank Mclntire, Birt Stewart, C. Furer, Emma Furer, Lily Furer. Fred Blakesley, Wm. Quinn and wife, Ed. Richmond and wife, Clara Richmond, John D. Short, Jennie Short, Charley Short, A, Levison, John and Al.

Miss Addle Stewart. Geo. Whitson. Miss Fanuie Field, Miss Wat­ son and Mrs. Geo. Salisbury. If we have made any mistakes on names, or left any out, the fault must be shared by our informant, or possibly the di­ version made by his "ch'-st tester." Altogether it was as pleasant a crowd us one will meet anywhere. We did threaten to tell how gracefully a prom­ inent county official danced with a lady of goodly proportion, but, con­ sidering that the presiding elder might make a fuss, we refrain.* For Boots and Shoes of all descrip­ tions go to J. V. Aldrich's. The greivous burden to the Town­ ship of Richmond iu maintaining the numerous bridges within its limits, and especially the extra burden just now imposed to repair the damages done by the freshets and ice of the past season, is an aflair which should appeal to the generosity of the whole coauty, even if there were no law meeting the case. But there is a law whose lan­ guage is plain, as we stated in last w'eek's PLAINDEALER, so plain that we see no reason why trie Board of Super­ visors should hesitate as to their plain duty in the matter. For the better in­ formation of the public wo reproduce here that section of t'«e law relating to roads and bridges, which covers our case--approved May 29,1879, SEC. 110. --Whep it shall l>e necessary to construct or repair any bridire in any town, or to build a bridge over any stream between low lis or over streams on mads between towns In the stimc count; whieh would be an unreasonable burden to the sumo, (lie cost of which will be more lliun can be raised in one vear by ordinary taxes for bridge purposes In Such town or one of such towns tlie com­ missioners of h i(th ways of either town dosir- inK to build sut'h fridge shull present a peti­ tion to the county board of the county in which such town or towns is situated pray, inic for an appropriation from the county treasury to aid iu tne building, constructing and repairing ot »uch bridire, an 1 suc.li coun­ ty board slnll when one half the necessary funds have been provided lot by the town authorities of eilheror both such town or towns, appropriate the other half: Provided, tbatall unexpended surplus of any appro­ priation that may be granted by the c- unty undei the provi.-ions of tliih section shall be paid hack iulo th»? treasury. And Mil funds provided to be raised under this section shall be expended by, and under the joint conliol of the commissioners of highways, of the town asking su<-h aid, ami two persons ap­ pointed by The county board of the county granting the saiue. Section 119, which is too long too re- proiuce here, makes It.th* duty of the highway commissioners of each town to annually ascertain, as near as possi­ ble. how much money must be raised by tax on real and personal property for the making and repairing of bridges * • • * • .which tax shall be eiteuded on the tax books, accord­ ing to the assessment of the previous years, and shall levy a tax on all the real and personal property iu said town, "not exceeding f<>rty cents on the one hundred dollars? <£c. Now, the Solon bridge, wtfich has got to be rebuilt is estimated to cost I from 32200 to$2600. Taking our equals | ized assessment its fixed by the Board of Supervisors at Its last meeting, an equalization (?) in which 18 per cent was added to our personal and 1} per cent to our realty, we are unable to build that bridge by a tax of forty cents on the one hundred dollars. Lei the figures show. Our equalized as­ sessment of realty is 9313,140 and of personal 9131,345, a total of 9444,385, a tax upon which of 40 cents to the hun­ dred doMars would give just 91778.34, not nearly enough to cover the ex­ pense or building the Solon bridge.-- With these facts In view it was plainly the duty of the subcommittee ap­ pointed to confer with the road com­ missioners of our town, to call an ex­ tra meeting of the Board of Supervis­ ors, as they were empowered to do, to the end that the matter might be settled, so our commissioners can go on and build the bridge at a season of the year most favorable for building, instead of waiting the tardy action of the September meeting of the board. We hope to be able to give in next week; PLAINDEALKR some figures showing the enormous expense to the town of Richmond in maintaining her bridges. And we hope that. In the meantime, every Supervisor in the county will consider our claims, read the law, aud make up his mind to do us justice. For beautiful setts of glassware, call at J. V. Aldrich's. Wool!
