The deceased was a resident of the township of Nunda, his. parents resid­ ing a short distance south of MeHenry. He was uaiurally a young man of ro­ bust health, and this he had enjoyed, until a few years ago he was stricken with inflammatory rheumatism, and although he soon recovered, it some­ what impaired his former health, as a few months ago lie was again attacked, from which he never rallied. Failing to obtain the desired relief from phy­ sicians here, as a last resort he sought the best medical advice of Chicago, going there 011 Monday last. But it was too late, his disease hud reached its last stages, which resulted in hit. death on Friday morning. His WK mains arrived at Nunda 011 that even­ ing, and were carried to the once joy­ ous but now grief-stricken home. We feel justified in saying that none knew him but to respect him, and to admire the noble qualities of head and heart. Uls kind and agreeable disposition en­ deared him to all; and the large circle of acquaintances with which he moved, will remember him as on* of the ornaments of society, and will cherish his memory long after the words which we pen are forgotten. To l he afflicted ones we can only ten­ der Our deepest sympathy, by hoping that their lo$$ is his eternal gain. His funeral was held at the Catholic Church, at Mcllenry, where nearly two hundred relatives and friends assem­ bled to pay the last tribute of respect to a dear friend, whom Death had chos­ en fqr his mark.

NEVER, since the PLAINDEALER was established, lias subscriptions come in so rapidly as now. The Soldier boys, realizing the value of our Soldiers De­ partment are taking hold of the mat­ ter, and besides sending in their own names, are working In behalf of the PLAINDEALER among their friends, and the result Is highly gratifying to us. To those who are thus voluntarily aiding the cause ot the PLAINDEALER words are inadequate to express our thanks, hut we trust the time may come when we can aid them in a like substantial manner. We confidently expect that our list will reach 2500 be­ fore Nov. 1st. * riM To close out their large stock of 8ummer Goods, Fitzsiinmons & Evan- eon are offering baigains never before found lu this section.

Suffice it to say the Parker House will lose none of its former popularity under ^ the new managemeui. We wish the new firm success. S^tAKBIX STEVENS A SCIINORR, the popular merchants near the depot, will have a new advertisement in the PLAINDEAL- KR next week.

Look out for their new adver­ tisement, and in the ineautinie if in want of goods be sure' :o give them a call. THE weather the past week has been simply terrible, the thermometer ranging from 92 to 104 degrees in . the ebade, the latter figures being reached 011 Fridav last. Other thermometers that hung in the sun are said to have r went up through the top and out on the roof, but we don't vouch for that. Saturday^ and Sunday was a little cooler, but at the time of wrUing, Tuesday afternoon its again on the boom. We "pass." Not a "pair" " in oiifcliand.

Oweu's - BANK BALL The game of Base Ball between a Pickup Nine of this village and the Barrington Club, took place at Wan- conda 011 Friday last, and although the day was the wannest of the season a very respectable game was played, which resulted in favor of Mcllenry by a score ot 15 to 11, in eight innings, the game being stopped at that point 011 account of darkness. Wc have si nee learned that the Barrington Club now claim the game because it was not played out. If they are Bill players they certainly must be familiar with the Rule which, governs this point,-- The facts ;tre, we are toid, the Bar- rington's were outplayed at every point, and to try to take advantage of darkness, and insist on playing by moonlight, we should consider a baby game. If not satisfied tiie Mcllenry boys are ready to meet them by day­ light any day.

I wish in this manner to give warn­ ing to tiie public, that they may not be damaged as 1 have been. 1 hare had a man working for me the past tew months. Wagon Making, (and he is well known in this vicinity) who about two weeks ago left me without notice, and without an£. cause what­ ever, as lie had had his ji*y regularly, andtit,the time lie left was in my debt6ver$3. The leaving part would have been all right, but on the morning lie left lie went into my shop before 1 got there aud mtliciously cut and spoiled all my patterns. Aud this by a man whom 1 had always used well, advancing hiin money when it was not his due, aud doing hiin other fav­ ors too numerous to mention. This act of destroying my property 1 con­ sider low and coutemptihie, and if 1 would do as the public advised me 1 would have him arrested at once. But 1 would advise all who may einpioy hiui to be ou their guard, as there is nothing too mean lor him to do. PHIL. HAUPKKISCH. MCHESBV, August 10th, 1831. BIRD CAGES, the finest assortment in town, at the st^yc of O. C. Colby & Co. opposite JJiehop s Mill, ̂ RINGWOOD ClvMKTKRY EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--A stranger passing through Ringwood made ob­ servations in surveying the objects worth looking at. The shops aud store seemed to be doing a thriving business. Their articles were as good as could be purchased anywhere. But 011 walking far titer on there was to be seen a serious lick of sidewalks. On one corner a building that was once a churdr'but now looking more as if in­ habited by tramps, and that "the boys" ,were not very careful how they used it. It seems like a serious thing to let public property waste in that way. But however much might be said about that, indignation held supreme sway on going to the Cemetery, and seeing the way people care for their depart­ ed. The ladies of Ringwood are thor­ oughly aroused as to the necessity of work being done there. We think It may be necessary for them to take the work of cleaning it themselves--that is, if the gentlemen could be persuaded to contribute the needful articles. We think the ladies ore sufficiently In­ terested to do something in the way of making it look more like a respectable habitation for the dead. Gentlemen, pleasu coine to the front with hoes, shovels, scythes, rakes, etc., although Yt"would not be advisable for you to allow anyone to think you were going to use them yourselves. The sentiment of all the ladies ex­ pressed by one of them. A SOCIAL HOP.

LIPPINCOTT, 4.CGUST 3d, 1*»1. C R E E N W O O O - EDITOR PI.AINUKALKR:-- We observe that several of your cor­ respondents are getting anxioas touch­ ing the matter of prayer, in a way which demonstrates their minds are badly befogged. We venture to sug­ gest that if they were to do a little more of that tiling themselves it is pos­ sible they would, bye and bye, see clearer. Try it friends and report ]»ro- gress. lu relation to t'.iis subject, J. Complou, of Volo, says: "But if God does not. want the President to die why did he suffer him to be shot?" In re­ ply we ask why does not God deprive his creatures of their free agency? Does J. C.. wish in be deprived of his, even though he might otherwise some­ times go astray? If the Almighty were to interfere to prevent every mean or vile act on the part of his creatures we opine they would soon • aise a clamor for a change in tiie ad­ ministration. Doubtless men would rather he free and punished when they do wrong than coereed into doing good without any merit011 their part. Again he says: "Would it not have been better to prevent such a rash deed than to permit it and then have to spend several weeks to correct aud repair the damage ?" Here agaiu we are confronted with the same diffi­ culty with rcspeet to free agency. If J. C. can suggest some way out of this difficulty without making man a ma­ chine or a puppit, lie will have the merit of having solved one of the toughest problems in all Theology.-- Your Richmond correspondent thinks the efficacy of prayer is disproved be­ cause Abraham Lincoln failed to re­ cover. This is singular lo^ic-rbecause a tiling fails once it must always fail. Does not that geutleinan's * very day professional experience prov« its falla­ cy ? Why does he administer his pills aud potions in one case when lie knows they have failed in another? Why does lie make anv eflort to relieve hu­ man suffering at all. since such sufler- ing is the consequence of "violation of natural law?" He says, "The viola­ tion of natural laws, whether it be by the voluntary volition of the sufferer or hy the hand of the assassin syill meet its inevitable punishment." If this be so then Othello's occupations' gone; tiie Doctor may as well hang up his saddle bags at ouce, for the whole theory of medical and surgical treat­ ment rests ou the assumption tiiat the effects of violated law can be counter­ act* 1. Better leave Theology alone Doctor; one profession is about as muL-h as any one mind can master In these days. It is weil for us that our prayers arc not always answered, if they were the. petition would soon be­ come a demand and t lie Caver looked upon ns a right. Gratitude and a sense of dependence would die out and. give place to arrogance and self-sufficiency. What would we think of that parental training which always gratifies the wishes of the child ? Aud again, what would we think ef that which never does? He says that for the "Deity to interpose specially to heal th» Presi­ dent's wound and, restore him to health is revolting t3 reason and common sense." now so? Is he not a kind Father, aud if lie is may be not, at times, interpose to save ns from the ertUsequences of our own and other's misdeeds? What is there revolting in such an act? Has he 110 care over the creatures he liaS made? Or is he rath­ er a cold heartless abstraction utterly indifferent to human sorrow? The answer to prayer may not come just as we expect it, or according to the strict letter Of the petition, still it may come--comte in the way of an appar­ ently accidental suggestion, perhaps as a sud.len mental illumination, which may enable us tee see our way out of a difficulty withou^ interfering with our free agency in the |;*asi. But we do not intend just now to argue this sub­ ject in detail. Our object in advert­ ing to it iu this instance was to criti- cisc the reasoning of the gentlemen referred to. If prayer is indefensible let the reason be shown that will stand the test of rigid logical methods of dealiug with it.- F F.IA) DE SK. WAUCONOA.

Woodstock, III Tiie singular death of a Mrs. Friend, living not far from Bllvin's Mills, Is re­ ported. She was in the potatoe field using Paris green to kill the bugs. A mosquito bite on her leg itched, and she scratched it until it bled. The Paris green on her baud poisoned it, and the limb at once began to swell.-- Two days afterward she was delivered of a healthy child, but the poison in the mother's systeril proved fatal to her. The leg swelled to a great size and she died in much agony. Matrimonial advertisements In the newspapers are almost always humbugs The per«on who inserts them gener­ ally does so through a purulent curios­ ity or with a deliberate evil intent.-- Reporters often get hold of cases where the dupes of these advertise­ ments are badly sold out. We might suppose an average case, as a warning to any one inclined to put faith in the genuineness of "matrimonial" ads.-+ We will suppose a buxom widow, "to marriage inclined" picks up the Chica­ go Times and reads one of these ads. There is romance iu it, (and, may be a husband) and she concludes to answer it. A loving correspondence ensues At lust a meeting is arranged. She must be discreet, tor tiie world must not know what is going on. She therefore tells her friends she is going to Chicago to spend a few days, or to Philadelphia or New Yotk.
