How dear to my heart; was the old family bible, that stood on the table so solemn and still; where offen I've hid every thing I thought liable to get into the hand- of my had brother Bill. How ardent I've seized It, with eyes that were slowing, and shook its wide pages till out the things fell; but now all It9 charming old seoreoy's going, with this new-fangled Bible the book­ stores sell. The new-fangled Bible, the twenty-cent Bible, the new revised Bible, that sn?* hades for hell. THERE are people who in the hot­ test weather will get up In the morn­ ing long' before the flies have begun to open their wings to the rising sun, and they will cook aud hastily bolt a scanty breakfast, rush madly around the house after collars, bonnets, umbrellas and fans, put up lunches that * are not fit to be eaten, spend six hours on a railway train In order to have one or two hours of "enjoyment" at a ltfke side, get back home late at night tired exasperated, fussed out. and the next morning.they will crawl to work with aching heads, aching hacks and rebel­ lious stomachs, aud say they have had a day out. WE a few weeks since visited the new Fox Lake Club House, at Fox Lake, and had intended to have writ­ ten up what we saw there at that time, but time and space have prevented,-- But even at this late day we cannot refrain from saying a few works.-- Through the kindness of tire officers of the Club, wc were shown through the , building, and must say that it is one' of the finest arranged Club Houses we ever saw. Everything is arranged for convenience and comfort, as well as beauty, and as each member is accom­ panied by his wife, of course the taste and wishes of the ladies have been consulted. The rooms are substan­ tially and neatly furnished, and every­ thing is run on strict principles, as will be seen by the following Rules, which are posted in the Club House, and we understand are lived up to to the letter: Members and guests will uleaie Reg­ ister on arrival. Rooms will be assigned by the house­ keeper. Hours for meals can be obtained from the housekeeper, aud she respectfully requests you to be as prompt as possi­ ble. Only luncheon served after regu­ lar meal horns. NO CARD PLAYING for MONEY allowed in the^Club House. Drinking allowed only iu the Gents' Parlor.

AUGUST 3d, issi. Wicked for Clergymen. "I. believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for el-rgymenor other pudlic men to be led Into giving testimonials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called medicines, but when a really meritor­ ious article, made of valuable remedies known to all, that all physioians use and trust in it daily, we should freely com­ mend it. I therefore cheerfully and heartily commend Hop Bitters for the good they have done me and my friends, firmly believing they have no equal for familV use. I will not be with­ out them."

Not a loafer in onr village at present this is not an advertisement. Jerry Smith is doing a thriving business. Send in your orders at once before the increasing fall trade orowds you out. Harvest is. nearly finished. A goodly number from this vicinity exfiiect to be present at Singers Grove on the 25th inst. T-J. Ellis has drawn lumber for a new barn. The same when completed will add much to the appearauoe and utility of his premises. i Ladies, don't yon think some of the boys are bad off to '"set up," when they will set up grain at night, and spend the gloomy hours in erecting a single shock eighty rod§ long? M. M. Chase is renovating things gen­ erally at the school house. The new fence that encloses the school yard is Xw completed. The new patent seats ve arrived and will soon be placed In order. Through the efforts of Mr. Hall the grass has been mown and the coming years wood sawed aud nicely piled in the wood house. We under­ stand the Directors have been success­ ful in securing the services of Wm, Nickle as Instructor, and in short, everything looks favorable for the commencement of the ensuing school year which event will occur on or about Sept. 1st. V Thus. Lumley. through the assist­ ance of .J. GooiYrow Jk Son. of Elgl n, has beautified his new residence with a fine job of painting on the outside and superfine graining on the interior. The graining especially is extremely elegant, and shows the efleet of accom­ plished skill and superb science in the art. Mr. Lumley now has one of the finest residences in the State the work being executed in first-class shape throughout. Persons <vishiug painting done will do well to call on the above named Painters knowing frftra a per* sonn^ examination of their work in di fie vent places that it is unexcelled. Death has again visited our little village, taking away an old and re­ spected citiaen. Mrs. M. Joues. The deceased has suflered a long space of time with consumption, when about noon on Saturday, Aug. 13tli, Iter spirit tnoks Its flight to an Immortal home.-- A large circle of friends were present at the funeral on Sunday. An appro­ priate address was made by Wm. Nickle after which she was borne to her final resting place. One by one wo are passing away. Our best citlsens are being taken from ns. Let'is p*r form with honor thp duty that Hes be­ fore us for we know not at whst hour we may be called to reap the reward of ot;r welldoing. « We noticed in the last Issne of the PLAlKDRALhR an expression of the sen­ timents of th» ladies of this place in regard to the condition of the ceme­ tery. We coincide heartily with the greater part of Uie article written.--- Its present state is disgraceful, aud a IHtle time aud pains on the part of the community iu general, would greatly change Its appearance for the better. But instead of tlft gentlemen coming to the front with hoes, shovels, scythes rakes. &c., for the ladles to use (which we know they could not do) would not a more pleasing nffeot be produced if the ladies would only make a start and come to the front with tho necessary articles and trust to the men for the performance of the task. We always had a great deal of confidence in men (especially gentlemen) and we have no doubt that if the enterprise is started the male populace of the community will see that a triumphant consumma­ tion is achieved. ORiSWOLO LAKE CHIP# EDITOR PLAINOJRALER:--Having had very fine weather the farmers in this vicinity are very nearly done harvest­ ing. Sam Taylor threshed for Mr. Rhyn- ders. First job of the season.

Oh, how sweet the music is ou a pfc*8* ant summers evenlug. WOODSTOCK- EDITOR PLAINDKALKR:--MFS*. Prud- euce J., relic of M. W. Hunt, died very suddenly <M Wednesday morning of last week. She was buried from her late residence on Thursday at S o'clock P. M. This leaves another vacancy among the early settlers of Woodstt»ck. Mrs. Hunt and her youngest daughter Ells have lived quite secluded since the death of her huiband which hap­ pened about fifteen years ago. Her intimates were not numerous. Those who knew her best admire Iter most. She leaves her oldest daughter, Mrs. A. W. Tappan. of Louisville, Ken­ tucky, her son, Charles, of Chicago, and Miss Ella, of her own family, to mourn, her sudden death. That wedding on Lake St, did hap­ pen at the residence of the bride, Mrs. Armstrong, who will hereafter make it her home w|th Iter lMNband, Mr. Perry, at Dundee. Cucumbers are coming in to each of our pickle factoties quite lively. That "blessed shower" on Friday night has cooled the atmosphere, and once more life is endurable! Oat harvest is in full blast and we hear complaint of light yield oh «e» count of rust. Corn Is healthy and promises a good crop. W« notice that our colored towns­ man, John Rogers, Is Ordered before the Examining Snrgenn. Dr. S. F. Bennett, of the Soldiers' Department, for examination. If John succeeds in getting his pension, and we think he deserves It, he will take good care of his money when it comes, an 1 we, are pleased to congratulate him on the prospect of success. Peter Fry Is happy. He has one of Dacv's self binders In his harvest Held, and it works like a charm. Judge B. N. Smith has returned from the Red River country, aud re^ ports the wheat crop ot that region "simply Immense." Robt. Richardson, an old settler of McHenry, uow of Sparta, Wis,, has bo en In town several days. The Presbyterian Society are pro­ gressing with the foundation for tlieir Parsonage, on the corner of Calhoun aud Hayward streets, where they con­ template erecting their new church. The site is a beautiful one, and well adapted to the wints of the society. Lemmers A Cuminings expect to have that water tank vompleted soon which is to furnish the water for our fountain in the centre of the Park, Company G. '.»ave received their bran new brecch loading rifles, are ex­ pecting their dress uniforms soou, and are therefore happy. While the boys feel that their drills and uniforms are a heavy tax on time aud pocket, they are justly proud of their standing among the militia of Illinois, and would like to have the Williams broth­ ers hide in some of our corn-flelds so that they might try their skill at cap­ turing outlaws. Superintendent Palmer Is having the stables at the Fair Grounds white­ washed, and the arrangements to ac­ commodate everybody aud his wife and sweotheart, who are all comNig to the Fair, are just about completed, aud will be iu apple pie order. We all want to see our Governor, and the Governors of Iowa, Wisconsin and In­ diana. We all want to see Prof, Dan­ iel's balloon asoeii6ion, and the best exposition ever known in McHenry County, niul are all anxious to see our Honorable Commissioner of Agricul­ ture and show him our products, so are we going to do our Individual best to add to the exhibition and make it the "Oreate$t Show on Earth," to swell the attendance so that these invited guests shall truly wonder whence all the peo­ ple come from, to till the treasury of the society, so that theie shall be no pro-rating premiums, and uo more debts hanging over the society, aud last but not least.M> that we all can properly aud proudly boast that we are citizens of this grand old MoH enry County. The foregoing was prepared for hut week, but we heoavne interested in haj-making and failed to burdeu1 Uncle Sam's gripsack therewith. Another cool wave makes out* nights tetter adapted to "tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep." We notice on our streets the genial face of Elmer Johnson, son of our po­ lice justice, J. H. Johnson. Also are we pleased to have Indulged In a hand­ shake with James D. Parrish, of Johns­ town, N. Y., and brother o! John A. Parrish, of this place. Some young lads thought to take a smoke of clover leaves near Llslie Aus­ tins hay stack, consequently Li she is minus about ten tons of good hay put up by himsolf and boys. The noteworthy Improvements at No. 7 Phoenix Block are about com­ pleted a»d the place will soon sparkle with Blossom's finest stock of jewelry and associate merchandise on one sidef and with the drug stock of Murphy A Wheat on the other. "Mending your ways?" she smilingly inquired of a laborer who was Indus, trlously placing the gravel on our streets, "Yes ma'am, or rather my neighbors' ways, he replied, and after a short pause he added, "You know Madam we are quite ftpt to think our neighbor's ways need more mending than our own." And the gravel seemed to spread all thi easier for this slight atteutiou. She had been bis pupil iu former years, aud was it vanity in him to recall that fact, with some emotion of pride, to be thus recognised, to be thus kindly greeted, by a lady of wealth aud position, by a lady who commands the esteem of all who know her. Was it vanity In him to ask himself If his labors as village pedagogue had contributed something however slight-to that lady-like de­ portment, to those real, unpretending, modest and womanly traiti of her oharacter? \ More aud more, as we near t>«s time lor our Fair, are w* convinced that everybody is f«tHy awake and deter* mined to.iauke It a success. So deter­ mined is Sfperinteukeut Palmer that thereahall be nothing. Ufft uudoue, needed for success, that he Im* given the gmtimfeaiut .-rtrasiK^iwent* Ills al­ most entire attention for m»w»y weeks, and you ImVe hut »o witness Ills teal iu that behalf to boeosne convinced that success feat already accom­ plished. It Is now quite generally be. lieved that General Grant will be here and those who ought to know,and who have no objeet to ifece-9ve or be de­ ceived. assure us that it is almost a certainty that he w9ll He here. And surely car.not aftord to neglest onr part, either by stay lug aw»p, »r by keeping back onr products of industry of whatever branch. Shonfrf all the distinguished personages be* with us who are expected, our county could 111 afford to have theiu witness empty fetalis, empty pens atuf empty stands. There is not a town fa onr county, there is not a farm withla her limits there is not a branch of Industry, not a profess^pn or calling, whose reputa­ tion Is not to be affected for better or for worse by the coming exposition. Them wor'd renowned guests know what our exposition ought to bev let us uot deceive them to our owto disad­ vantage. to our own inertia, let n»rath­ er surprise them by the inagnHasle of our exhibition. They will not go to your farms and places of business to inspect your work but will expect you to bring up specimens, and whether round, oblong, or tqnare. fetch them along, and we are assured by tlie builders that nothing shall be htavtd over wnong the rubbish, bat shnU he tested by its merits.
