The work of the Institute was taken up Monday morillng were left last week .--carrying the teachers through a full course in the commou studies, and theory and practice of Civil Govern­ ment. On Tuesday evening Prof. Sabin delivered a lecture in MurpKy's Hall, which was the best of the kind we ever listened to. On Friday afternoon Supt. (lowland, of Chicago, delivered a lec­ ture before the Institute, which crown­ ed its success. All ;n all this Institute or 1884 is the best ever'lmld in Mcllei.ry County, and reflects due credit upon the efforts of Supt. Baldwin. A social committee was appointed to draft suitable resolu­ tions on the death of S. D. Baldwin. Also a committee on general resolu­ tions. The committees reported and the resolutions were unanimously adopted. The resolutions we respect­ fully submit: "There ia a Reafier, whose name is Death, Ami with Ins sickle keen tie reap* the bearded grain at a breath. Ana the flowers that (trcw between." Assembled a« we are, teachers of McHenry County, in our su:nmer Insti­ tute, we are. reminded that since our last annual gathering th* Reaper has garnered our richest sheaf to his own. While death is the price of life, which all must pay, yet when a good man falls the community In which lie lived sustains a grievous loss. In the death of Superintendent S. D. Baldwin this was especially true, for he was a geod man. Jn his deatli the schools of the county lost an efficient Superintendent; we as teachers an honored leader, a warm-hearted friend, and trusted guide; the county a faith­ ful officer; the church a christian wor­ shiper; the community a good citizen, and the State an honest man. In humble submission let us Resotve: That we will cherish the memory of our late Superintendent. That what he wished us to be we will strive to be. That what he wished us to do we will strive to do. That what he wished us to accomplish we will strive to accom­ plish. Let. us resolve to emulate his virtues and like him to cultivate these christ­ ian graces that mark the perfect and upright man. The committee on general resolutions reported as fellows: WHEREAS, We the teachers of Mc- llonry County assembled In this place, feel MIAt this Institute has been to the interest and purpose for which It was called, a profitable session, and feeling lnfl»'bted to all who have aided in mak ing it such, we take this opportunity to embody in a series of resolutions our gratitude to the parties hereinafter named ; therefore let It be Resolved, That the thanks of the members of the Institute he extended to ot:r County Superintendent for tlie able manner in which he has presided overi's proceedings, to the Secretary for her patiept and obliging discharge of her duties, and to the other officers for the satisfactory in-inner in which they have fnililled the functions assign­ ed to them. Resolved, That an expression of our gratitude be tendered to Messrs. Knep- per and Sabin for their efforts in mak­ ing the Institute a success; for their zealous advocacy of the best methods of instruction in the hands of the ener­ getic teacher; and of our esteem and kindly feelings which will follow these gentlemen to their homes. Resolved, That to the School Board of Woodstock our thanks be offered for their kindness in extending to us the free use ef the school building and the apparatus connected therewith, aud also for many other courtesies tending to Increase our comfort. I.esotved, That we acknowledge our­ selves under specisl obligations to the janitor. Mr. John Donnelly, inasmuch as it was due lo Ills etterts mainly that It was made possible for the Institute to be held here at the appointed time, aud that lie deserves our«iucere respect for his uniform politeness.

That we express our ap­ preciation to the Committee of Ar­ rangements, the Misses Maggie and Anna Donnelly, for the faithful per­ formance of their assigned duties, courteous treatment, ana good judg­ ment in securing pleasant accommoda­ tions for the tcachers. Resolved, That much credit is due to the ladies and gentlemen ef Woodstock for their efforts in making our sociable what it was --a success. Resolved, That it is the earnest de­ sire of the teachers of McHenry County that the suggestions embraced in the Superintendent's recent report to the Board of Supervisors relative to the duties and compensation of the County Superintendent, may receive our hearcy approval and support. Resolved, That we express our grati­ tude to Srperlntendeiit^Hnwland, of Chicago, for the pleasure afforded us by his able and scholarly lecture before the Institute Friday afternoon, thus appropriately crowning the work of the Institute. ; !» • Respectfully^^, . v;|g.-K. WIBK. The Purchaser of Maud 8. The New York Mail and Express says: The report that Robert Bonner has bougiit Maud S, paying Mr. Vander- bilt $100,000 for* the famous trotter [•40,000 Is thejatest stated figure], is taken as an indication that lie Intends to retain the distinction of owning the fastest roadster in the world, and his purso Is long enofigh to permit such purchases without perceptable effect upon its condition. Mr, Bonner owns n vacant block on Fifth avenue which is said to be worth about 9400,000, and he has other property besides the Ledger, to make him a rich man. He has paid nearly $40,000 for fast horses heretofore, his first purchase being that of Lantern and Light in 1859 for $9,- 000. He paid $40,000 for Pocahontas, $36,000 for Dexter, $20,000 for Edward Everett, $20,00<J for Startle, $10,000 for Edwin Forrest and $36,000 for Rarus. Dexter'a record of 1867 was 2.17| and that of Rarus in 1878 was 2.14}. Maud S is now 10 years old and doubtless she might lower her record of 2.06|, were it not a rule from which Mr. Bonner has not deviated in more than a quar­ ter of a century never to permit his horses to appear where gate-money is to be charged or bets are to be made on the performances. It is not general­ ly known that Mr. Bonner's interest in horses was excited by compliance with the peremptory order of his pliysican, now dead, the brother of Rev. Dr. John Hall, to purchase r horse and take out-door exercise if l»? w#uld escape death from over-work. Richmond Department. CUNTRIBUTKO BV 3. V . liENNETT. The Republican Town Committee appointed by the late Republican cau­ cus for the Town of Richmond are S. F. Bennett, S. 11. Ward and J. V. Aldrich. Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Crosby and Mrs. Robt. Johonnott visited Mrs. Joliou- 119It's daughter, Gertrude (Mrs. Will Berger) at Elgin, last week Wednes­ day. A dozen or more Richmondites made a visit out to Mrs. Shep. Ercanbrack's last Thursday. They were right roy­ ally entertained and came home hap­ pier for having made the visit. The result of the County Convention is a bitter disappointment to Very many people in this town, aud we hear loud talk of trying to induce Faber and Morse to run on Independent tick­ ets. We don't believe Barber can poll ten votes in Richmond Township. If ever any one sat down to a good dinner it was the one given by Land­ lord Slusser, at Stasser's Park, the day of tlie Old Settlers Reunion. We can commend the house to the public as being a good place to go to--and stay at, too. Mr. Slusser, here's our hand. Mrs. C. G, Cotting gave a birthday party to 25 of the old indies of Rich­ mond and vicinity. It was a very happy occasion. Mrs, Cotting had readied jlie ago of 79 that day, and a thousand friends hope she may live to celebrate many more such anniver­ saries. Charley Coggln, who rtlade stich a success of the Wauconda Mills is now running a fine stone mill at Portland, Cerro Gordo Co., Iowa, where lie is making tlie same good reputation he had here, and with it we are glad to say, lots of cash, nope to say more of him and his later. It seems natural to take up the pen again after not having a word with our readers for five weeks--not only natur­ al but pleasurable--and we hope the pleasure may be mutual. We have had a most glorious visit to Minnesota and lowa.and would like to print a thous­ and reminiscences of the trip did other work permit--and we may get time to grind out a few by and by. > The August Market Fair Will be* held by the Richmond Association on 'Thurs­ day. the 28th Inst. Tlie Secretary ad­ vertises that there will he plenty of cows and other ^cattle, horses, sheep, sows and pig?, etc., for sale. Arrange­ ments are made with the owners of stallions to have their horses and at least tour suckling colts sired by each, on exhibition. No doubt a large crowd will be in attendance. In the excitement of caucusses and conventions we should not forget the thousand attractions of!ered at our coming County Fair, nor the duty of every citizen of the County to contrib­ ute. if possible, something to its suc­ cess. A little energy among the farm­ ers would increase the number of exhibitors of farm products tenfold. There is hardly a garden or cultivated field iu the County that ha§ not soine thing worthy of exhibition growing therein. Take your stock, your fowls, your farm and garden products and go to the Fair. We are indebted to Jo. Hyde, who erst was one of Richmond'* standbys, for a personal letter and two news­ papers from the far we*t where he now has his home. The first is the San Juan Prospector, published at Del Norte, Col., and the other is the Solid Mul- doon, published at Ouray, Col. Jo.'s post office address is La Jara, Col., and we understand Is a member of the "La Jara Creamery and Live Stock Associa­ tion," located In Conejos Co., about 40 miles from Del Norte. The Prospector devotes a column, fine tjpe, of a late Issue to the Creamery of this Associa­ tion, and from this article we infer that It is a fine and snccessful institution. Old friends will be well pleased to learn that Jo is doing finely--and lie has a host of them iu McHeury Co. Tlie Hun Who Betrayed a President. From the Nashville, {Tenn.) American. Buck Lewis, janitor of the Meigs School, East Nashville, !s dead. Lewis was at one time the body servant of Andrew Johnson, when that distin* guiihed Tennesseean was President of the United States, and created a sensa­ tion iu Washington by revealing the great commoner's private affairs to the President's enemies. This was done while the impeachment trial was going on, became the ruling sensation of tlie hour, and was a common theme for speculation during many months fol­ lowing, President Johnson discharged Lewis at that time, and he came back to this city, where he has remained since. Lewis lias since frequently suffered great want, and told a friend that President Johnson's words, when he dis­ charged htm. had often ceme to his mind during iiis misfortunes. The words referred to by Lewis are these: "Take this $100 bill and go where you will; I trusted you, and you betrayed my confidence for less than I have often given you without asking, All I can say to you is that you will never suffer as much as you have caused me to suf­ fer by your base treachery." The person to whom Lewis told these words only a few weeks ago is Andrew D. Foster,one of the proprietors of the Maxwell House barber shop, who was for many years the body servant and valet of President Johnson, and to whom the great Tennesseean was a benefa^or np to the hour of his death.
