In calling for any of the above please mention the advertised list, JAMES N. P^RBT, P. M. FROM Rev. Joel Wheeler, who lias just returned from the East, we learn the following comparative status of the weather in Maine avd Xe»v Ham- shire: In the State of Maine thedistruc tive freer" of vegetation occurred the 21st of September. In New Hampshire the fatal freeze took place on the 5th of October. New Hampshire gave a bountiful harvest having had an agree­ able season. Maine suffered in some of its crops from rust, consequent on the superabundance of rain during a large portion of the summer and autumn. RKV. JOEL WHEELER and wife have returned from their Eastern trip, feel­ ing better pleased than ever with their Western home. They report the fruit crop East as very abundant, and bring us specimens raised on the grounds of Mrs. H. D. Boynton, of Manchester. N. II., and Mr.Nat II. Wheeler.of Dunbar- tou, which was. kindly sent to us through them by Miss Addle Robins. One of the Apples sent us weighed seventeen ounces. They are very fine specimens, and Miss Robins will please accept our thanks for the same. Mr. and Mrs. Wheelor also brought us a hunch of vines ami Hemlock bows, which put us in mind of our old East­ ern home, and make us almost wish we were a boy again, rambling over the hills at our grand old Eastern home. THE Drama of "East Lytine" was brought out by the Wanconda Dra­ matic Club at Riverside Hall on Fri_ day evening last, but owing to the un­ favorable weather, there was but a small audience, which we very much regret, as the Play wa° a good one and was rendered ill an jiuexceptionable manner by this splendid amateur soci­ ety. Time and space will not permit us to speak of all, hut we cannot re­ train from mentioning the two leading characters. Miss Snow and Mrs. Harri­ son, each of whom rendered their parts, equaled by few and excelled by none. Miss Snow, as Lady Isabel and Mudam V• n e. showed herself tri be a "gifted and rising young Actress" indeed.-- Her movements are graceful and easy, her voice clear and plain, and tlie pa­ thos which she puts into her acting brings the tears to the eyes of all. Mrs. Harrison, as Miss Carlvle, was simply immense, and her appearance brought down the house every time.-- In this part she is a star in every sense of the word. We have seen this Dra­ ma several times, but never saw this part taken better. All in all the en­ tertainment was excellent, and we can only wish they had had good weather and a better house. THE McHenry Dramatic Club speak In the highest terms of mine host of the Pratt House, Waucouda, who en­ tertained tliem on their recent visit to that village. Everything that could be was done for their comfort, and the Club are very grateful therefor. That the Pratt House is one of the best Ho­ tels in Lake county we have said be­ fore and we say so still. Long may it wave say we. WE are glad we do not Hve in Wales and be obliged often to speak the name of Llandchothgewlchgwj nohtng- ocgophebenaliogogo, the town at the end of the Stevenson Britannia bridge across the Menia Strait. Welshmen say it is easy enough to pronounce if you only say rhlanvisepoolchgwnin- gergobeelchithlandisillo! Somebody lias written a poem of ten stanzas, each of which ends with that melliflu­ ous name. L. B. WARREN, proprietor of the Lake Geneva Collar and Cuff Polishing Company, was in town on Monday, and made arrangements so that all who wish work of this kind done can leave their articles at Perry & Martin's store where they will be forwarded and re. turned to you done up in the best of 6tyle and at a moderate price. As many of our young men are now send­ ing work of this iTind to Chicago, this will be a much quicker and easier way, and we predict for Mr. Warren a liber­ al patronage for this town.

Among those al­ ready engaged are S. H. Weller. Theodore Tilton and Col. San ford. Before Mi is communication appears in the PLAINDKALER the great Bunker and Murphj' lawsuit, now on trial at Rockford, III., will altogether likely be decided, as far as the opinion of that court is concerned, unless the jury should fail to agree. The evidence wns all in on Saturday last, and the lawyers commenced their pleas this week Monday. The party or parties, who have re­ cently, through the columns of an out­ side paper, tried to make political capital for themselves and assist the Elgin Advocate In Its personal war agaiust the Congressman of the Fourth District seems to have run against a snag. For with one single exception the entire press of McHenry County came to the front last week in defense of Dr. J. Q, Adams, of Marengo, who is a candidate for the postmastership of that place. Even the Democratic organ on the hill in this city, couid not refrain wishing him flnai success and extending their sympathy for him who had been so shamefully lied abaiLt in the Elgin^Advocate, of a week ̂ r so ago, and through the instruraeir- tality of one or all of three persons who, no longer ago than last March, gave him a strongly worded certificate to the American Insurance Company ot Chicago, or "al! whom it ma)' concern" as regards capability, honesty and straight-forwardness concerned In all matters pertaining to any kind or class of business. Now observe the striking contrast between the two pictures, and afl inside of six months time, and because one of the three persons whose signatures are attached to the certificate is the present post­ master and has been for the past eight years, but who now finds that a large majority of the patrons of the Marengo office, many, like himself being op­ posed to a third term, (although he himself is not quite as solid In this case as he was a spell ago) uematrd a change and have decided to support Dr. Adams for the position, whose claims to the office were so clearly shown to th«* people of the county in last week's papers as before mentioned. We opine that the individual who wrote the Advocate article that gave the count}' papers provocation to de­ fend one of its honored citizens against, such abuses, have concluded that It would have been just as well to let the job, for it certainly has not aided them in the desired object, that of being let alone in trying to Injure the Hon. John C. Sherwin, because they could not dictate to or name the future postmaster of Elgin. This is appar­ ent to any who have read the vin- dictive effusions which have appeared from time to time In-the AdQooate lately. Hence the reason to try and drag Mcllenry County Into the fight, thinking it would aid their extremely weak and disgraceful ranting against Congressman Sherwin, who is certainly under uo obligations to the uian of the Advocate, who formerly wore the jray. PERSONALS. James G. Eastwood returned to his labors in the Census Department at Washington, D. C., last Saturday. Little Dick Oglesby, son of Ex- Senator Oglesby, who has been visit­ ing fur some time at the Itichards farm* near town, returned home tliir> week. Miss T. J.

The Band Boys da nee eame off at the Richmond floine last Thursday night, as adveitiseo. and the occasion was a very enjoyable one. The Baptist sociable, held at Mrs. Hicks', on Thursday evsnlng, was largely attended.and was a very en­ joyable affair. The same may be said of the sociable at Mrs. Vinton's on Thursday afternoon. Elliott Cropley some time since cir­ culated a petition praying the Com­ missioners of Highways to vacate the road running south to Fred Collisons. from Uropley's corner, and lay a new road running from th,e bridge across the Nippersiug east of Cropley's, dia­ gonally to a point ^nearly opposite Collisons. The Commissioners held a meeting on Satur^v, but so much op­ position to the proposed change was developed., that \ the Commissioners postponed the matter one week for further consideration. Mr. Collisou claims that the change would be a per­ sonal damage to him and not of public utility, and will oppose it strenuously. "The melancholy dtvs come The mildest ot.the year!" Ah yea, tho ti .aic of moving stoves We know lull well is here! The houscn.ald flourishes her htnslt And spread# the blacking on, Rebell ious pipes arc s.nlly sought And sworn together strong!

The Solon Itrhlge. The following petition explains it­ self: V To iF. A. McConnet, Supervisor of the Town of Richmond, County of Mc­ Henry, Iltinoi#: The undersigned, Commissioners of Highways, and twenty-five freeholders of said Town, would respectfully rep­ resent that the sum of §1700 (seventeen hundred dollars) is necessiiry for the completion of the bridge over the Nip- persink where the same is intersected by the liighway leading from Solon Mills to McHenry and other places in said town.

Wherefore the undersigned hereby petition you to call a special town meeting to vote on the proposition to borrow money to com pie to a bridge as above set forth. Dated, Richmond, McHenry Co.. III., this 49th day ofwstober, A?!). 1881. ItlCIIARD l^RAV K. S. JOIIONN'OTT GKO. H. S I I .VVAUT (and UA freeholders. J Corns, of Highways We lately had the pleasure of locking at some of the work recently done in the shops of A. P. Gray, and we think it will compare favorably with of the same kind done anywhere is now at work on two platform oris for agents of the Fairbanks Co., which are models of strength work He wag- Scale and beauty. The opinion of the Woodstock Democrat in regard to Mr. Grays work on wagons will be seen from the fol­ lowing clipping: We had occasion during the last meeting of the McHenry County Agri­ cultural Board, to investigate the dif­ ferent display of wagons and carriages and cannot but give expression to our conviction formed at that time, that the wagon on exhibition, of A. P. Gray's ot Richmond, was without doubt the best on the ground, taking workmanship and everything into con­ sideration. Mr. Gray proved himself a gentleman in every sense, and his work spoke for itself. He is making a speciality of the steel skein wagon which without doubt is the best in ex­ istence. at least so the best judges de­ cided. The manufactory of air. Gray, though anowcoiner in Richmond, has made Its friends rapidly, and his work is giving uni ̂ -rsal satisfaction to all customers who tested their merits.-- Should any of our readers be in need of this necessary acquisition to both farm aud the general work of the team­ ster, we can hut refer them to the work of this popular firm, in all cases Mr. Gray and his work will be found just as represented In every particular, aud the price as low as any firm in the county. His shop in Richmond is a ne­ cessity that the people ol that place have felt the want of. and his fast in­ creasing business attests to the public's appreciation. CHICAUO, t 'ORTAOK ft SUrKKIOR R. R. Our readers, in this vicinity espec­ ially, will be interested in any news of the above named road, that may be deemed authenic. We therefore re­ print from the Whitewater (Wis.) Register. The hegisler'n article, be­ ing based upon a personal interview with one ol the officers and directors of the road may be considered as near authentic as anything can be. We have always maintained that, if the Northern Pacllij were ever built, a di­ rect line from its eastern terminus on Lake Superior to Chicago would surely be built--and maintained it against hope deferred aiwlsometimcs ridicule. We maintain it yet, aud presume that our friends will be willing, when tlie first through train whi»tles. to allow us the satisfaction of saying, '•vvo told you so!"' Here is the Reuuster^s article : On Monday of last week we had an i n terview with one of the officers' and d i r ec to r s o f t he Chicago , Por t age & Supe r io r a i r l i ne mad and l ea rned some th ings which may be o f i n t e r e s t t o ou r r eade r s . As va r ious r epo r t s have been go ing the rounds o f t he pape r s we con­ c luded t o seek ou r in formal iou as nea r headqua r t e r s a s we could ge t i t . i n r e sponse t o ou r i nqu i r e s , we were t t> ld t ha t t he re w . 4s no doubt wha teve r o f the ea r ly bu i ld ing o f t he road the who l l eng th i» i t he l i ne t ro iu Ch icago to Super io r Ci ty . Anaugemeuts had been made early *n the season at Lon- for all the funds needed, provided that It could be «howti that the line protni- i*ed as much local and general bu«iues« a« was* represented. Accordingly Mi. "titer Shandlv. one of the builders of the Hoosac Tunnel, was employed to go over the line ot the road from one end to the other. On reaching Chica­ go he made a complete report which Was ot a highly favorably character.-- I he president of the road at once pro­ ceeded to England with the report and laid it before tli® syndicate with whom the arrangements for a loan had been made. I'lieshowing was so entirely satisfactory that the contract was soon completed and the syndicate takes the company's bonds to the extent of $20,- 000 a mile. As the distance from Chi­ cago to Superior City is about 412 miles the loan is in the neighborhood of eight aud one quarter million dollars. A considerable amount, not far from $600,000, has already been advanced and lies iu the bank snbject to the com­ pany's draft. Work is being prosecuted at the north end of the road and five Inridred men are b'isily grading the first twen- tv miles this side «if the lake. The grade is nor. difficult and men can work to a good advantage all winter. Iron has already been purchased for sixty- five miles of road, aud the contract has been made with responsible part ies to have lhe road completed for the cars through the land grant port ion of the line, by the first of May next. Work will be started at the south end early in the coming season, and .with sncii force as the company expects will be able to complete the road in running order from Chicago to Portage before the snow flies next fall. Some have feared that all the com­ pany cares for is to secure the laud grant, and will then abandon the rest of the road; but there seems to be no good reason for this apprehension.-- The road was projected by the present company before it was known that any part of the St Croix grant was availa­ ble for their proposed line, and we be­ lieve that It will be built whether the •rompauy receives anv part of the land grant or not. The line is one wbich commends itself to the most casual ob­ server as promising a large business from the outset. It seems wholly im­ probable that an ah* line road between these two railroad centers, Superior or Dulnlh. and Chicago, can fail to be­ come a first-class trunk line, and espec­ ially so when it is sure to be one of the chief outlets during a large portion of the year for the great North Pacific, and its-tributaries. There is a solid foundation for the enterprise and it would seem that nothing less than a great financial panic, such as that of 1873, would interfere with the well -matured plans of the company. GREENWOOD. KIUTOU PI.AINHKAI.KU Just at this time there is a severe drouth iu the gossip world, and the crop of news items from this field for the past week have proved nearly a failure, owing uo doubt morn particularly to the quiet and peaceable disposition of our law abiding cirizens, who have not the time to spend In looking after other peoples affairs, farther than the mutual interest that may exist in and for each others welfare ; and to this end, allow me here to remark In reference to an article in your last weeks issue, from the able pen of your Richmond corres­ pondent, referring to Dr, J. Q. Adams aud the Marengo Post Office. That the language aud sentiment therein contained is but A repetition of the feeling and sentiment of this entire community, of which Mr. Acianis was for many years a resident, and among whom he grew from yout'i to manhood during which time lie acquired a good education, and by his manly bearing and pleasing address won the confi­ dence and esteem of all who knew him. As to his war record.it is unnecessary for us to repeat what has already been mentioned in the article referred to.-- Suffice it tosay, the town of Green­ wood will ever hold up in re mem be r- ance and witli pride, the name of John Q. Adams, of Co. H. 95th Regt. III. Vol. as one of the bravest aud most efficient soldiers of his Regiment. Now in reference to Mr. Sherwin'e action, in recommending Mr. Adains to the posi­ tion of Postmaster at Marengo, we have only thKtosay: If Mr. Sherwin is never found guilty of a meaner act than this, we can well afford to cling to him a little longer. He certainly can do himself nor hi* constituents any discredit by recommending for the ap­ pointment to almost any position,such men as Dr. Adams. The cowardly, scurrilous Insinuations of the Elgin Advocate, should be treated with the contempt it deserves, as being beneath the dignity and notice of every respec­ table citizen. And here we can assifre Mr. Sherwin that the people of the town of Greenwood stand as a unite in vindication of his course in this mat­ ter, and are ready to join in the e'dio in saying they sincerely hope to hear of the appointment of Mr. Adams to the office of Postmaster of Marengo. A. S. Newman will commence the frame work of his new barn this week. Rev. J. Young left for Chicago on Monday last where he will spend a few days. Mr. Jones has been giving his new barn a tricolor coat of paint, which is a new departure. "Gay but not gau­ dy."
