A dispatch from Alexandria, Egypt, under date of July 11th, says; "The bombardment of the forts by the Brit­ ish vessels began at 7 o'clock this morn- log." iS^Charles Stiles, official "cnUff* of the Chicago Provision, Grain and Stock Board, better known as the Call Board, w*8 shot and instantly killed In the Palmer House, about CJ-o'clock on Mon­ day morning, by a woman claiming to be Madelalne Stiles, but whose true Ram« was IT.era S curl a, an Italian, •ltd his mistress. JSJfTlie warden of the district pris­ on, Washington, is daily implored in letters from private parties and organ­ isations for pieces of the rope used in hanging Guiteau. Though It is gener­ ally believed the assassin's reiniins are how at the medical museum, the jail officials say they have not been re- i moved to their knowledge. 4 f&*In the Chicago Tribune report, *»f the Elgin Convention, we find the following: "Ex-Senator JosJyn. the raputed owner of McHenry Qounty, . looked a trille more glum, not to say Srlcked,' than usual, a circumstance that gave additional credence to the rumor that Ais no&ewas again out of joint, figuratively speaking, and that he had not been able to insert his grappling hooks In the McHenry County delega­ tion and^haudle them according to his . «wn awee twill." 'The commissioner of pensions fepnrts that the actual amount paid for pensions on account of the rebell­ ion to March 9 is $500,782,000. The an- annual amount to be paid 250.000 late war pensioners is $25,700,000, and to 3,000 war of 1812 pensioners $2,800,000. Estimating the disbursements fer May and June, the total for pensions the current fiscal year will not vary much from 065,000.000, April 1 there were on file 217,000 pending claims, which if allowed would be entitled to arrears-- estimating 171 l>e>" cent for rejection--, $##214,990,000. •ST'Tbe Harvard Independent mnkes the following pointed rem irks in an article last week, speaking of th«* late Waterloo defoat of the South worthsrlennon combination. Brother Birch is always on the rlghtHrafifc and strikes straight from the shoulder. Then \comes John M. Southwortli and hisstalwart friend, the old war horse/"Geonre Bunker. These men appenr to have "two hearts that bent as onje, two souls with a single thought*' --that they should deliver McHenry couwty in the state convention. They expected to do this, hnf circumstances prevented. In the first placn, although Sourhworth Pegged for an invitation, he wasn't invited. This was an over- si <rlit tim^'or, for the boys had got together tlup night befor<" and consent­ ed to iiav* him go, and Bunker tried his best, to execute the plan in the con­ vention. but was defeated bv a majority of one in the committee room. It was more than the Sout?bworth erowil could b"ar. Just before the battle or Waterloo ueorge said he guessed Im had a plan; he had a man i'i Greenwood he could handle, and he would get his proxy for John. One thing about that is much to be regret­ ted, is that as respectable man as the farmer was, he should be made a tool of. But John and his proxy and Every­ thing el«e except his nebk were broken to pieces at Springfield, for the dele­ gation voted to a man that he had iio right, to a seat and couldn't have one though nothing personal was intended. It is a sad commentary on Woodstock that the Sojithworth «ponge should fail to sop up everything, but SOch is the fact this time. Sontliworth, Bunker, «!fc Co. failed to deliver to Spalding in the state convention and are laft. Smith backed the Southworthglennon business, and is left. M. Church back­ ed the same. combination, and is left. 1'eter Whitney, another backer is left. Not one of the whole crowd has scored a single victory.. We advise the bal­ ance of them to move intu the next county. EXTRA RACKS ANI> Sl'KClAl, I'URSES. For the Summer Trotting Meeting of the Chicago Driving Park, 1882. No. 1.--Saturday, July 15th.

Editor Pi.aindealek: -- The wet weather, which has continued so long has deterred many of the farmers from working their corij, which Is in a very backward condition. O. M.

Mosley, of Crystal Lake, was on our streets last week,. * The party at Mr. Beach 's new hofwe last week was an enjoyable aftalf. About twenty couple were present. James Kittle is making good 1 im­ provements on his meadow in the line of drainage, which many propose do­ ing also. It has been proposed to clean np,and grade down the hiDJat the school house, which we think would be a good im*. provement to that locality, and should be done at once. Come one and all, lend a helping hand, which none will regret In the future. The bridge on t.ie north McHenry road Is becoming quite dangerous,-and should be repaired before shy darnage is Incurred.

We have just received a copy of the most popular piece of music ever pub­ lished in this country, called the "Ver­ dict March," composed by Eugene L. Blake. It is written in an easy style, s<i that it can be played on either pia­ no or organ. The title page is very handsome, containing correct portraits of Hon. Geo. B. Corkhiil, Hon. J. K. Porter,*and Judge W. S. Cox; also a correct picture of the twelve jurymen who convicted the assassin of our late beloved President. This piece of lim­ bic should be found in every household throughout the entire country. Price, 40 cents per copy, or three copies for $1. Postage stamps taken as currency. Address all orders to F.

In Millinery her stock comprises the latest styles and most approved pat­ terns, which siie invites (the ladles to call and examine. Ready Made Dress- es and Ulsters always on hand. Dress. Mt'king promptly attended to. ; ksr' Tolifrwi 'The Aurora Herald, makes the ring remarks.which we think will be endorsed by every honest man in the land: There ought to be some law to regu­ late primary meetings and to pnnish illegal voting at caucuses. As it stands now. a man may openly buy as many votes as lie can, and there is no.punish­ ment for him. A man may sell his *ote to the highest bidder and be •perfectly safe from the clutches ol the law. A man who has not been in town three hours may vote without fear of punishment; and foreigners, fresh from the monarchies of Europe or the juugles of Africa, may exercise thev primary franchise without violating any law. Now the money has become such an important factor in managing primaries, it would be well to put some check on it by imposing penalties for Illegal voting on such occasions. Will not some ot our legislators devote a little time to the consideration of this Wbject ? The Chicago Tribune, in conf­ ine n ting upon the probable situation ill this senatorial district, pays Capt. Charles II. Tryon, our candidate, the following compliment: , The new Eighth Senatorial District, composed x>f the counties of Lake McHenry and Boone, has a hold-over senator In the person of George Kirk, of Waukegan. McHenry and,, Boone will be entitled to aKepublican repre­ sentative apiece. McHenry has al­ ready instructed for Capt. Chas. 11. Tryon, of Hebron, which is equivalent to saying that he will be nominated and elected. Capt. Tryon has been closely identified with the interests of McHenry County lor many years, is a nun of more than average ability, and will make a creditable representative. He was captain of Company H, 95th Illinois infantry, during the war, and Since retiring from the service has been engaged in farming and in the sale of agricultural implements. He owns and lives on oue of the best farms ' Iti McHenry County, has accumulated • considerable properly by hard work and good management, and will be a jrpod representative of the farming jtfjmmunitv.and the prosperous, steady p«ople of McHenry generally. In Hthe House at Springfield. Omar H. WHglit. of Boone, who leprssented the 4»unty in the last hou*e, says he has h$d enough of tSpriugfield during a legislative session, and cite# too much for his private business, to think of go- itig back. Ex-Senator Fuller, whose time expires this fall, and who woukl very much have lik<*d to be put in im -.Odd-numbered district that he n.iglit run again, this time for the senate,„lia* about concluded since he cannor go to the Senate now, the district having a hold-over senator, to be a candidate foi the house. The chances seem to favor his nomination. By keeping his hand In. he will be in training for the Sen- £torship two years hence. HAINESVILLE Editor Plaindkalki?:--We had no formal celebration on the Fourth. A general picnic was held at Slusser's Grove. People to the number of per­ haps three hundred spent most of the day there. No formal ceremonies were observed, but each one celebrated according to the dictates of his own fancy. Prof. Martiue, a traveling showman, had both a public and a pri­ vate exhibition which were well re­ ceived and applauded. His specialties are ventriloquism, characterization^ singing, etc. The Douglas family, father and sons, were present with their instruments and gave us plenty of martial music, which is always ac­ ceptable on ;he Fourth'of July., The weather being cool, many persons spent most of the day in riding or driving from one place of amusement to another, staying a short time at each, and there were-perhaps a thous­ and different people at the grove dur­ ing the day. A dance in the evening closed the exercises of the day. Many of our citizens visited Warner's Grove, at Antioch, and others participated in the celebration at Wauconda. Crop prospects are favorable except­ ing as to corn. That looks small and backward, owing to wet weather. Grass Is heavy but sloughs are full of water, and unless we are favored with dry weather during the most of this month, much of the prairie grass will be lost or badly injured. Our farmers are shearing and report a fair crop of wool, but I hear of no sales. The Cloverdale Cheese Factory, lo­ cated on the Stanford farm, in the town of Grant, has commenced busi­ ness and is patronized by several far­ mers in our town of Avon, who are thus far. well suited. A sheep barn, containing about thirty tons of hav, owned by Lemuel Edward, at ltoliin's Corners, was struck by lightning and burned, on Friday morn­ ing June 30th, at about four o'clock. A.M. Loss from $500 to $G00. Insur­ ance $200. Everett Culver who has lately pur­ chased the Thorn farm' of 240 acres, east of Mo»aville. is engaged lu re­ moving the oil buiid'ugs to a more, favorable locali ty, and ..erecting sujh new buildings as are necessary.
