Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Minnesota. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,, all come on Novethbtr 2, and Texas on B^eem- ber 7. 9©* The latest crop news from the •/West is unusually cheering especially . from Ohio, Iowa ' and Minnesota. The ; ijprfesidfetft of the "Rack Iriand Boad is ad- ^ TTised that sftfch signs of universal aburid- _/ jjnee were never before known at this fjfcfcson of the year through the State of . Jtowa, Senator Windom makes a simi­ lar report from Minnesota. And the Authority from Ohio is the Cincinnati GazetteP which paper has crop reports from over ajiundred counties. 86T This seems to be something of an era for absconding and fraudulent defaulters and debtors. Once in a while one of them appears to get his dues in, the courts, or otherwise, but there are too many escapes, either for the good ot society, the redress of the wronged, or the appeasing of the popu­ lar indignation. One of the instances where this class of criminality has se­ cured conviction under process of law, .is that of a Boston firm, who attempted a fraudulent bankruptcy, and where of course they undertook to defraud their creditors. WeH, they have got a ticket for a terra in the Massachusetts State t>rteon and all the train of evils that follow such durance aiid penal servi- ,'lude. If every mother son of these jfiascals could be dealt with in the same way, it might prove a benefit to the community. , t.. 'The Rockford Journal says:--• r Jkany of the readers of the Journal will femember Ed. or /Nosey" Brown, the horse jockey, who four or five years ago drove the best horses in all the princi- • pal races on the fair grounds. Ed., after being ruled oft all the best tracks in the state, went east; a short time |lnce he was in Buffalo; N. Y. with the ; Intention of attending the Buftlo races. While on the street he was accosted by a farmer, who was driving a sorry-look­ ing pair of horses, and asked if he didn't ( «nrant to buy a "hoss". Ed. looked at the horses, and seeing some good points •bout one of them, offered the farmer <50 for him. The offer was accepted - / and Ed. taking the horse put him into trainiag, when he developed astonish­ ing speed. Ed. kept on training the ,fcoree, and when the races were opened lie entered him against some of the best liorses in the state. Ed. took all bets that were offered, and after the races l*e "walked away" with over #13,000. Ifce "hoss" trotti ng three straight heafcs- 1*3:16} 3 :16 and 2:15J. GREENWOOD.

There Is -coastant danger of treading upon some ones corns. Your humble servant is well aware how difficult a matter it is, to please all, having had a little foretaste of public serving,, just enough to take away that timid sensitiveness necessary to fit one for becoming a newspaper correspondent, public .servant of any kind, or even an editor, as far as fear is concerned, though not claiming the qualifications. Our littl§ burg has been unusually quiet for the past week, no uonpleasant- HS8S, to mar the tranquil peace of our law loving, law-abiding citizens. The wife of Rev. Mr. Alcjenhas been very sick, but is improving somiwhat. and her fronds are hopful of her re­ covery. Some of our farmers have been thresh- , log. L« B.

' " !'f VOLO- EDITORPLAINDEALKRAsa goodly number of your papers have made their appearance in pur village, and is well liked by our citizens, it may not be out of place at this time to give a short no­ tice of our business and business .men. The village of Yolo is on the Wauke- gan and Mcllenry road, eighteen miles, west of Waubegaa and six miles east of Mcllenry, and for a small place <loes a large business.' Mr. J./Ro^ett,keeps the Hotel, and has become justly popular as a landlord. His house is kept up in first-class stylo, and the weary traveler can always find the comforts of home by calling on Mr. R. He spares no pains to accommo-^ date the wants Of his Quests, and that he succeeds is evidenced by the fact that .all who e&ll ou him are uuauiuious in his praise. "* ft. Rogers, our merchant, has a large and well filled storey and does the largest business of any country mer­ chant in Northern Illinois. Like the Free Mason, he deals upon the srjnare, and consequently is looked upon as a model man by the community for twen­ ty miles around. G. C. Galiger. our Harness Maker, is doing a good business. He is a first- class workman, and consequently is crowded with work from early mom until late at night. Persons in want of anything in his line should not fail to give him a call, A. Potter carries on the Boot and Shoe trade in the Harness Shop. He is an experienced workman and is doing a large business, and his many custom­ ers say he is second to none West of New York. J.Frost carries on the Boot and Shoe making business nearly opposite the store. He is doing an extensive busi­ ness, turns out only the best of work and consequently his trade is increas­ ing daily. Darrow & Garland, Blacksmiths, first door west of the store, are both old and experienced hands, and ahvavs turn out work of the best quality. Mr. Darrow is well known both in Mcllenry and Lake counties, and in consequence of his upright dealing and the good quali­ ty of his work, he has probably the largest custom shop outside of Chicago. The other Blacksmith shop is carried on' by Simes & Carpenter. Mr. S. is only learning his trade, but being an intelligent young man and in company with a good workman, he is progressing rapidly. P. Smith does our Tailoring, ne is doing a good business, and, Peter al­ ways gives satisfaction. The Furniture business is carried on by B. Rosen. He keeps on hand a large stock of Furniture, of all kinds, and is doing a good business. W. Gale is, we have no hesitation in saying, manufacturing th^ Mill made in the county. Farmers would do well*to examine this Mill be­ fore purchasing elsewhere. The firm of Bush & Gale run our Cheese Factory. They have in their employ one of the best cheese makers in the west,and ciieese made at their Factory bring the highest price. A. Biaek is also engaged in the Cabi­ net business, is an old resident here and is doing welL Mrs. Ackley keeps our Post Office here to the satisfaction of all. C. Annes officiates as Constable, but We have no particular need of one as we are a law abidiag and peaceable com­ munity. We have no Lawyers here for we settle our own disturbances. And. we jhave but one Preacher re si d- lag vvitlimi, bnt.thl-l.i enough fnr practical purposes* as the -.Inhabitants' are all as pure and free from guile as were the first settlers of the garden of Edeu. As for Doctors, like lawyers, we have no need of one, as Yolo is one of the healthiest locations in this section. J. Comptom is doing a good business In the Insurance line, and in conse­ quence the inhabitants can rest with safety when night comes, as he works for none but reliable companies, and all buildings insured bv him cannot burn. The young men of this vicinity have clubbed together and organized a Brass Band and engaged the services of a Wauconda gentlemau to give them in­ struction. The frost made a visit to this locality but done no serious damage. The fanning portion of our inhabi- tauts are all busy gathering in the abun­ dant crops. W. Marble has returned from Kansas. He is looking fine and feeling far better than when he left In the spring.

The old ladyKent stepped on a nail the other day, and it went very nearly through her foot. She suiters a good deal with it now. Mrs. Lenzing, wife of John Lenzing, is very sick, ller friends all wish her speedy recovery. The young Seminarist, Father Fegers brother, is on a visithere, and enjoying aimself hunting,. It is sure death to all Piairie Chickens that come in his sight. Some liberal man offered his team and man to the movers of the School House if they would move it into the Lake. Probably so that his children could say their lessons while fishing, leh Schmokv. SLIM SAM. NUNDA.
