Twenty-eight at once prevented attachment by making affidavit that they owned no more than the law allowed. Under the decision of the supreme court they were arrested for petty larceny, and bound over in the sum of $300 each. Six of these did not give bond and went to jail That is the result of the working of the new postal law, which makes it larceny to take a paper q*d refuse to pay for it. vt PERSONAL. A. W.

THE goose bone fiend has not put in an appearance as yet, but the fruit skin and corn husk cranks are on hand with their predictions ot hard winter. Last fall the nineteenth century omens all agreed that the winter would be one of unusual sever ity, and it was uncommonly mild. Last spring the people were warned to look out for a long, hot summer, and the summer was phenominally cool. Winter prognostications should always be made in January and summer predictions July. Those made at any other time are unreliable. r; \ The Races. The races at Gage's Driving Park, in 'this village, on Wednesday and Thurs day last, were the most interesting and hotly contested of any that have been held in the county this season. Every heat and race was for blood, eveiy driver doing his utmost to get his horse to the front, and in many instances the contest was so close that no one could tell who would wip until the horses passed under the wire. In the Free for All, "ĵ jpprgff O." dose himself proud. He w«e dmen by his owner, George W. Owen, who had ne^gr driven in a race before, and of course jj» against old and experienced drivers he worked to a great disadvantage, but the horse proved that he had too much speedfor them all. Had he been driven to his full speed he could easily have made his mile in 2:25, and this, too, on a half mile track. i.-. Taken aJl in all the races were the best ever held ia McHenry county. Great praise is duff-'Manager Stevens, who spared no pairm to carry out the pro gram in full ami to please all, both horse- 'men and t^ose who came to witness the trials of speed.

EVERY growing town is composed of three elements. Those who work intelli gently and vigorously for its advance ment and future good; those in a state of chronic indifference, and those who take delight in throwing a wet blanket upon and discouraging all efforts of others by a persistant denial that any progress can be made and who boast of every town being superior to its Own. We term the last "croakers," but they are really some thing worse, for the opposition comes from an unenviable spirit that will neither act for itself nor allow others to do so. TALKING of typographical oxore, we do "lSt ~remember seeing a more horrible specimen of blunders than one which ap peared in a Massachusetts paper not long ago. At the close of an extended and highly eulogistic obituary of a prom inent lawyerJblie reporter desired to say that "the body was taken to Hull for in terment, where repose the remains of oth er members of the family."

The following from an exchange will apply to McHenry as well as other places: "The kicker is a bird that can be found in every community. He is here in our midst. He didn't arrive on a late train, either, but has been here right along. He wants the earth fenced in and ploughed, and is, in other ways, a regu lar octopus, but is unwilling to put tip a dollar to increase his own accumulations. Railroads make too much noise for his delicate nerves. Booms are serious mat ters with him as he never saw one, and what he hasn't seen isn't worth having. He has ideas of his own about town building, that, were they reduced.to. practice, would make a desirable place --to leave. He has a knowing look about the eyes and swells himself up with importance as he pictures the sombre future of the place and talks of the good old times. But the kicker is going to die after a while. At any rate we hope so. And there will be lew mourners there. They will dig his grave very deep and soon the thistles and weeds will wave triumphantly in the breeze as he mo Bill of I^eonard Bonslett for gravel or dered laid on the table.

X<ost Hii Foot. On laft Tuesday a terrible accident oc curred Mr. Hodge, of the firm of Hodge dfc Morse, of the Ingleside Hotel, Fox Lake. In company with Charles McNeal, he was hunting, and had his gun over his shotilder. In some way a lighted cigar touched the hand that held bis gun, and he loosened his hold on it and the gun fell backwards. As it fell, the muzzle struck about the back of his foot, and at that instant it was discharge^ and the charge passed through his foot, tearing it terribly. He was taken home and a surgeon from Chicago was summoned and the foot treated. It was hoped that the foot might be saved, but the chance for saving it was very slight. dered by the family of the dead lawyer. / I \\ F A oT PROFESSOR GAUTHIER, of Paris, state* that certain vital processes of the bodi develop putrefying substances in the tij 1" rank, and the young ladies and gentle- sues, which, if not speedily eliminated! ™en ^ere sympathize with him on produce disease.

The boys say that when he began to ride, his wfde, flowing trouser-legs caught in the pulley-chain and wound up and before he could make any extended remarks, he was on his back with a long-geared bicycle stabbing him in the neck. The boys say--but we scarcely believe it--that they had to take his p-nts off to free him from the treach erous machine." Now this is our own A MOTHER who "knows," says that girls should be taught "to sew, to mend, to be gentle, to value time, to dress neat ly, to keep a secret, to be self reliant, to avoid idleness, to mind the baby, to darn stockings, to respect old age, to mak good bread, to keep a house tidy, to con trol her temper, to be above gossiping, to make a home happy, to take care of the sick, to humor a cross old man, to marry a man for his worth, to be a help mate to a husband, to take plenty of ac tive exercise, to see a mouse without screaming, to read some books besides novels, to be light-hearted and fleet- footed, to wear a shoe that won't cramp the foot, to be a womanly woman wider all circumstances." MR. LAWRENCE BARRETT'S Ganelon is conceded to be the finest spectacular pro duction of tragedy ever given in this country. Mr. Barrett has within the last three or four years shown an amount of liberality and an artistic appreciation of the spirit of the times exhibited by no American actor in our generation, and upon his work alone he can claim now the position of the Henry Irving of this country. In Ganelon every detail is studied and given its due weight in .the production. The scenery, properties and costumes have been carefully designed, and the designer has consequently given them an artistic unity Which is never seen among the great productions of this country. Ganelon is a blank verse trag edy laid in the 9th century. The scene is Corsica and the turbulent character of the plot gives a magnificent opportunity for picturesque effects in scenery, costum ing and characterization. The types of people from all the Mediterranean coun tries of that time are utilized in the play. Mr. Barrett will appear in the piece two weeks longer at the Chicago Opera House. This will be the only engagement of th<; piece ia Chicago. ALGONQUIN. EDITOR PLAINDKALKK :--Mr. and Mrs. E. Balch, of Elgiu, were callers on friends here on Thursday of last week. Sherm Chapell caught a 18 pound pickerel on Friday evening of last week. It was a daisy. The Algonquin 2d nine went to Nunda on Saturday last and gtft beat 38 to 22 It was too cold for good playing and the game was not finished. ' Thos. Kabon has had the peaks and fronts of his buildings finished off with iron cresting, which makes a very fine finish. Wm. Stead, of Carpentersville. did the job. Rev. Mr. Hench filled the pulpit at Matta, 111., on Sunday last, and Father Munrow, of Dundee, preached here. The Peake Sisters will give a concert at the Congregational Church on Saturday eveqiug of this week, for the benefit of the new parsonage. So turn out, one and all, and help a good cause. Miss Florence Miller,. ©f Elgin, spent Vunday here with her parents^ C. W. Hurt spent Snnday at Aurora with friends. I. V. Montanye and Mrs. C. T. Mon- tanye, of Elgiu, spent Sunday here, the guests of J. Helm. Miss Bertha Dodd returned home last week from her visit at Oeonomowoc, Wis. Hebron Department . v- ANOTHER old resident has gone. ' Mrs. Polly M. Porter, of Volo, died Sept. 28th, at 7:30 p. im She was born at Hinsdale, N. i., Dec. yth, 1801. She married Ben- jamiu W. Porter July 4,1822, by whom she had eight children, four of whom sur vive her. Her maiden name was Wood. Her family came to Illinois in 1844, and settled on a farm two and a half miles north-west of Volo. In 1851 they moved to Volo, where she has resided since, un til her death. Her husband died in 1875. She resided at Volo thirty-eight years, aod was beloved by all who knew her. She was always ready in sickness, had an open hand in charity, generous to her neighbors, and had a strong sympathetic nature. She will be greatly missed by her many friends.--Gazette. THE Cheboygan Democrat deals out chunks of wisdom and good advice to young men in the following: " 'There is always room at the top,' is a greatly misconstrued adage, for there is not only room at the top, but there is room on every round of the ladder that reaches the top. Yes, there is plenty of room; room at the bottom, room on the first round, on the second round, and all the Other rounds. To find plenty of room you have only to hustle, and when you begin to hustle you will be surprised to find how easy it is to climb up. Energy and brains cannot be monopolized. The market was never yet, in the history of mankind, qvercrowded with either brains or energy, and it never will be. These two qualities are the Siamese twins of success. Either are useless without the other. A hustler without brains simply worries himself and everybody else," and the man with brains and no hustle sim ply wears out the. seat of his yunw or dies ot ennui--or starvation. Young nan, hustle. •-&M us AUCTION SALE.
