A BASE BALL Club, of Elgin calling themselves the "Elgin Reds," wanted to play a game in this place last week, hot as they wanted our boys to pay their board, car fare and a year's salary In advance, the game failed to ma­ terialize, The "Elgin Reds" are too priced for our use.

FRETT, who keeps the Market Hear the bridge, bought a number of •heep for his market, which he had in a pasture near Johnsburgh, so that he Qould butcher as he needed them. It appears that sheep In a neighboring lot got in with his sheep, and in going to get one to butcher he accidentally got hold of the wrong one, and for this the owner forced him to pay 910. This was a rather dear sheep, and certainly not a very neighborly act, as Mr. Frett was not at all to blame, and what the Sheep was actually worth is all any reasonable man would have asked. 82 of law for 5 Cents--Our readers will be interested In seeing and reading the New and very exten­ sive Drainage Laws of Illinois, which provide for simple, just co operation in draining farm lands, village lots, drain- log for coal? and other mining pur­ poses, etc. It will pay for all to read and study these laws.

Y., papers please copy. Mr. Drury was one of the oldest citi­ zens of Lake County, having lived there something over 40 years. He first settled in Hainesville, and after wards removed to Fox Lake. He was highly respected by all who knew him, and will be greatly missed in neighborhood where lie resided. WK learn that vandals are again at work at the Cemetery defacing, de­ stroying and carrying away plants and flowers. We learn that a short time since Plants were pulled up and thrown around the Cenfetery, which shows that It was not done for the Plants but for pure cussednesS. And rUht ^ere we wish to say that the parties who done this are known, and will save themselves trouble by fixing tiie mat­ ter up beforo the next Grand Jury meets, or they will certainly be in­ dicted. The law is strict for such mis­ demeanors, and in this case will not be overlooked. Why the good Lord will permit such a sneak to live who is low enough to desecrate the resting place of our dead, is one of the mysteries. The Cemetery is now being watched, and woe be to the prison, be It man. woman or child, if caught, in the act. Let the law be enforced to its fullest extent. THE Libertyville Times, either by mistake or otherwise, says that the Old Settlers Association ot McHenry and Lake Counties had dccided to hold their Annual Re-Union on one of the days of the Woodstock Fair. This is a mistake. The Old Settlers will meet at Woodstock August 27th and are not in league with any Fair or. any other entertainment or enterprise. The So­ ciety were invited to meet with thq Libertyville Fair, and decided not to do so for two reasons. First, the Soci­ ety had met in Lake county last year and consequently it was but just that it be held lu this county this year.-- Second, the Committee did uot think it proper to mix their organization with Fairs. Should our Libertyville friends ask it the Society would no doubt be glad to meet with them an­ other year, hut not at Fair time. The Secretary of the Libertyville Fair is doing the Old Settlers a great injustice when he attempts to injure our Rs- Union and mislead the public by ad­ vertising an Old Settlers Day at his Fair. THE News and Citizen, published a Morrisville and Hyde Park, Vt, unde the head of Johnson items, has the following in respect to our late towns* man, Amos Dodge: Mr. Amos Dodge died on Friday July ]0, at his home in Ringwood, 111., in his eightieth year. Mr. Dodge was for­ merly from Johnson, where he lived many years. He went to Illinois in 1872 on account of his two sons, who had settled there before. Mr. Dodge was a man of sober, thoughtful ways, of unquestioned integrity, thoroughly upright in his dealings, universally re­ spected and having few if any enemies. In active life he was a farmer. His faithful industry and economy had earned for him a good name and for­ tune. Although never a seeker of'offl- cial distinction, he was rialled by his townsmen to serve in^ffveral different offices of trust, and"Was always careful and exact In the observance of duty and the performance of all obligations. He leaves a widow, three daughters and two sons, who have the sympathy of the entire community, for a good man ha^ gone- A CARD. We would take this opportunity to return our most sincere thanks to o*ir friends, neighbors, and the citizens of Ringwood generally, who by their aid and sympathy helped us to bear the burden of affliction which has Mien upon us.

The markets are generally steady. No. 2 spring wheat selling at 87} cents while the price paid for the corres­ ponding period last year was 82} cents, showing an increase of nearly 5c. One half of the wheat exported goes out In the shape of flour, while the export of wheat decreases the export of wheat lu the shape of (lour increases. The corn market is steady, the receipts be­ ing equal to the demand. Oats are rather dull. The shipping movement is very quiet owing to the increase in rail rates from this city. Green fruits are In good demand and prices are good; the receipts) of berries were quite heavy; some consignments were in poor co ndition; raspberries have de­ clined from 10 to 25c. Fine grades of butter are in light supply and are held with increased firmuess; very little activity In the demand just at present, but tin daily sales about equal the re­ ceipts, and sellers are coufident. Po­ tatoes are in gobd request for the best quality, the preference being for home grown whicti sell readily at #1.00 to #1.25 per barrel. The receipts for the past week show an Increase of 15,300 cattle, and a decrease of 16,500 hogs and 900 sheep as compared with the week before. The export of cattle is very poor and Eastern demand appears to be less that usual and the supply Is below,the average for this time of year. The belief that prices are on the verge of a decline ha3 had a tendency to make buyers more than ordinarily conservative. The arrivals of Texas cattle are very light. The hog trade Is rather q iieter tiian usuil, the re­ ceipts being about equal to the demand light and medium weights having the most attention. The sheep market is weak; the supply though light quite equals the demand. WINTER WHEAT -No. 2 red 94c No. 3 red 87c.

Tfie Rockfords are now encamped at Twin Lakes in strot g force. They have somewhere near fifty tents up, with eight or ten cooks to prepare the food, and a tine band of music, Frank Crosby, Jr., of Elgin, has been a welcome sailer at our house, the past week. Frank is an ardent ornithologist and 19 said to possess.one of the most complete collections of birds' eggs In the $tate of Illinois. Sojae of our lads are making a pot of money catching bait for the campers at Twin Lakes. The boys get a penny apiece for good minnows, and as they will frequently get a huudred or more atone haul of the seiue they iriake money fast. They find a market for they can get. The 95th boys hereabouts should not forget the date of the annual Reunion, September 4th. A letter from one of the committee of arrangements 8avs: "We shall have no long winded speeches but want a programme of short respon­ ses to toa3ts, reminiscenccs, etc.," which, we think, a good Idea. General Smith is expected to be present at the Reunion, which is to be held at Nunda. A lad, by name Kimball, living at Woodstock, was on a visit to the fami­ ly of It. B. Cole last Friday. By some mischance he fell from the top of a picket fence so Ills pants caught and let the weight of his body operate on his leg like the long arm of a leyer. The shin bone was broken in the lower third. Surgeon E. R. Bennett was called, an<l soon made the boy as com­ for tab le as poss ib le , and he I s LOW waiting until such time as a plaster splint can be applied to his leg so he can be taken home. Last Friday a large picnic party from Harvard spent a very pleasant day at Twin Lakes. A special car brought them out and took them home. They occupied the grounds at Capt. Ackermar/s. kIt was a Methodist Sun­ day School picnic. On the Wednesday before the PresbyteriRn Sunday School ot the same place held their picnic at Twin Lakes, i here are no pleasanter pL-nlc grounds in the world than csn be found In a number of places on the shores of these beautiful and much frequented Lakes. The McHenry County Fair has, for the past few years, taken the lead of all similar exhibitions In the State, and this proud position ha; been gain­ ed for it mainly through the exertions of indefatigable Secretary, Mr. A. S. Wright. "Soldiers' Day," whieh is set for September 11th, promises to be a grand feature this year. On that day are to be present a long array of noted Generals, and It will be a grand oppor­ tunity for the boys to once more shake hands with their old commanders. Secretary Wright invites all old sol­ diers to be present on that day, and that the large fish are being exhausted by constant killing. During the three or six weeks that the Rock ford camp­ ers are at the lakes, from ten to twenty five boats, averaging perhaps three rods to the boat, are out flshlnz daily, and the aggregate of fish taken is enormous;so it is no wonder they may begin to be scarc*. But the depletion In our opinion Is mainly due to the spring spearing. At that season the pickerel when full of spawn are killed by the hundred weight. Besides there is at least one gill net owned and irse d there contrary to law. and our local markets need never be destitute of a good supply of fish for sale. Of course the only sportsmanlike way of taking fish is by rod aud line and It is the only way they can be legally taken in those lakes--but, while the violation of the law is open,e very season, no one likes to take the responsibility of prosecuting the offenders, and the practice never will be stopped until the State Fish Commissioner sends an ^gBandall and agent to watch and enter complaint. This community was startled and saddened on Monday morning to hear of the death of Mr. R. R. Crosby, which occurred, by pulmonary apoplexy, at ten minutes past one o'clock a. m. He had been in poor health for some time, but on Sunday attended church and seemed rather better than usual. That eveniug he retired at his usual hour. Between 9 and 10 o'clock Mrs. Crosby was awakened by his making an un­ usual movement in bed, and found that he was in a nearly or quite comatose condition. The family was aroused and medical aid hastily summoned, but he remained unconscious and never spoke again. The funeral was con­ ducted by the masonic fraternity, of which he was a devoted and honored me iiber,-on Tuesday, the funeral ad­ dress being delivered by Rev. Charles Frazer, of whose church Mr. Crosby had for many years been a devoted and consistent member. The remains were buried In the cemetery at Solon.

Owen A Son, The Boss[Barrel Churn, at John I ^ Story's. * Having become somewhat familiar with Mr. Davis' methods in the prose­ cution of pension claims we are glad to give place to the following extract from the Antlocli correspondence to the Waukegan Patriot: Mr. Wm. R. Davis, a government claim agent, has been for some time lo­ cated here, and Ins to our certain knowledge been very successful in get­ ting pension claims through on short notice. We could, if desired, give the names of several disabled sold ers who hive had their claims against the gov­ ernment speedily brought to a success­ ful terminus since he took thein In hand, while nearly all of them have been for two or three years dragging along in the hands of some of the to called claim agents In Chicago and Washington, who, after getting their pay, allowed the claims to lay over un­ til the claimants had well nigh ceased to hope for their just dues. It is hardly necessary for me to add that out of all the claims Mr. Davis lias taken in hand none ot them were ever allowed to "die out" for want of proper attend­ ant. If the readers of the Patriot, who served In the late war, have valid claims against, the governm »nt, they will further tlieh own interests by placing them in charge of Mr. Davis, who will promptly bring them to a successful ending. I do not write the above paragraph, simply to "puff" Mr. Davis, or for the purpose of misleading anj' one, but I write what I know to be true, and in hopes that all our brave soldiers who have become disabled while eeiving their country may < e enabled to re­ ceive their proper dues.
