W. OWEN Sec., THE Public School will begin on Monday, September, 6th with S. I>< Baldwin as Principal. THE Harvest Party, spoken of last week, to take place at the Riverside House, has been POSTPONE!? until -fur* ther notice. "CVK understand the Baptist and Pres­ byterian Societies of Woodstx^te-are to keep the Dining Hall on the Fair Grounds during the coming Fair. THERE was received at the Pickle Factory on Saturday last 1,440 bushels of cucumbers. About seven thousand bushels have been received in all. AT a Baby Shfcw in Nijperville, 111, last week, an African cherub took the silver goblet, the first prize. Where, O Where, were the Hebrew children ? ^ ONE of our exchanges says that 4*the very best thing that some j^eople can do is to die." We would niost respect­ fully ask our brother of the quill why be does not try to do a good thing? WE are still uuder obligations to our friends for garden vegetables^ all kinds. If we do not manage to get into "winter quarters" in good condition it certainly will not be the fault of our friends. OUR subsciption list is increasing rapidly--much beyond our expectatidn. We shall try to merit the confidence thus placed in us, and make the PLAIN­ DEALER the best and liveliest paper in .tbe county. WE had commenced to write an ac­ count. of a house being broken into near the Depot on Sunday, but a ,, friend at our elbow said "sh,"' and we "sh'd." If our "special artist"" had only been "on the spot" we would have had--"quail on toast" sure. IN the Fourth days proceeding of the Teachers Institute, published last week, wnere it read "resulting in the equation of 1 plus 2,V it should have read "1 equals 2,,r" The mistake was no fault of the Secretary, but was overlooked in proofreading. 'I'IIE Tin Shop of John M. Smith just \ ,rio\v presents a busy appearance. He • JC has a contract to make one hundred and seventy-five pails for the Butter Factory situated near Patersons Mills, in the town of Xunda. The pails are 20 inches deep by 10 inches across and will hold about four gallons. wish to inform our readers that we cannot publish anonymous communi cations. No matter how meritorious an article may be, we must be furnished with the writers name, not for publica­ tion, but as an evidence of good faitb. We hope correspondents will bear this in mind hereafter. fI>«. r' vtfliu was advertise cl to visit this place on Saturday last, was prevented from fill­ ing his engagement on account of sick­ ness. We are authorized to say, how­ ever, that he will be here on Saturday next, and every Saturday thereafter. Rooms at the Riverside House. THE Sycamore Mepulwan says: A merchant in Sandwich, by the name of Hummel, advertises a full column in five different papers. He sells more goods than all the rest of the merchants put together. His average sales, these dull times, through the week, have been over •1,700per day; one "rushing" day they were $2,650. WE would respectfully call the atten­ tion of our village Parents to the ne­ cessity of removing the rank growth of weeds to be found on some of our streets. It is now about impossible for a lady to get along the sidewalks after a shower without entirely ruining their skirts. Besides it would much improve the ap­ pearance of our streets. Woidd it not be well to give this a passing notice. BIG potatoes are now the rage. One was laid on our table a few days since by Mr. David Smith, which brought down the scales promptly at one pound ahd three quarters. If anyone can beat this we wouUl like to have them produce the "Murphy." We have heard of several that were large enough to sup­ ply a small boarding house, but the one noticed above u> the largest we .have seen. As will be seen in the notice of the Old Settlers meeting published else­ where, the Steamer "Athlete,""Captain Oriswold, commander, will make daily trips ftom this place to Fox Lake during the.^meeting of the Old Settlers, start­ ing immediatly after the arrival of the IDA. M. train from the South. Those who contemplate attending can find no more pleasant way than J>y taking the Steamer at JfcHeuryjT. WE do all job work just as ehetfp as it can be done in the Statev Our material is new, of the latesu styles in type, and work will be executed to your satisfac­ tion, Posters, dodgers, bill and letter heads, and all kinds of card work prompt­ ly done in a workmanlike manner. WE have received a circular giving the resources of Tennessee* its future* and a word to emigrants, Which cannot fhil to be of general interest to our readers, but owing to the crowded state of our columns we are obliged to defer it until next week. It will then ap­ pear/in full, and should be read by all. Just think of it! It costs one million two hundred and fifty thousand five hun­ dred and eighty-nine dollars and ten cents to keep the women of this country in imported corsets for one year. What a waste.--Ex. -A Our "devil" says he don't consider it a waste-- but looks upon it as one of the greatest means of support.; « f t j k : F X J 1 S Z AT NIPPEltSIXK POINT, f, 8ept. I Otti, '7B, i Two jolly hunters, who reside not a thousand miles from McHenry, started out for ducks the other day\ They pro­ cured five spotted dogs, five double barreled guns, five powder flasks, five other flasks, five pockets full of wad, five bottles of--Mrs. Winslow's Sooth­ ing Syrup, and sallied forth with the remark that they would bring home a cart load of game or "eat a mule." Well, they returned, and yet, notwith­ standing those five pockets full of wad* ducks still quack. When a mule spies one of these gentlemen coming arouud the corner now, he immediately has ur­ gent business the other way; Ya-a-a-ah mule! THE Premium List of the McHenry County Fair, that is to be held on the 21st, 22d, 23d and 24th of this month, has been published in one paper, but farther than this we have no evidence that a Fair is to be held at all. Have the officers come to the conclusion that advertising don't pay? Premium Lists in Pamphlet form and Poster have been distributed in former years, and we can see no good reason why they are not necessary this year. With the abundant crop the Fair should be the largest and most successful ever held in the county, but we believe it is necessa­ ry to let the people know* when it is to be "held. ROBT. MORRIS the well "known Bible Scholar, Masonic author, reader and traveler, gave one of his characteristic Lcetures on Saturday evening, at Ma­ sonic Hall, in this village to an appre­ ciative audience of "bretheren of the mystic tie." Mr. Morris is one of the most devoted and probably best posted Masons- in the world, having made Masonry and" kindred subjects a life study. His lecture 011 Saturday evening was of the most interesting character, .and those of the brethren 'who failed to attend missed a rich treat; Mr. Mor­ ris also Lectured on his travels in the Holy Land, at the Methodist Church, on Sunday evening. New Good*. Our merchants are the most enter­ prising to be found in the county, and will not be behind in anything, and notwithstanding, the tight times go right ahead and put in a stock equal to the best, By a new advertisement to be found in another column it will be seen that Smith Bros. & Co., are filling up with a large stock of Ready Made clothing, -S!ioie> /uilikli', thc-jy*.. oftCi>• 'at; bottom price?. Their stock for the Fall and Winter trade will be second to none either iu quality or prices. Read their advertisement. Perry & Martin are also filling up for the Fall and Winter trade, and their many customers cannot fail to find at their store a full assortment of all kinds of goods in their line. Their new stock is arriving daily, and are always marked down to living .figures. Happening in that vicinity on Monday we attempted to walk int the store of Bucklin & Stevens, but was obliged to crowd our waj' through between boxes, bales and packages of all kinds and when we finely did gain an entrance we found all hands busy unpacking their immence stock of Fall and Winter goods just received. Their stock con­ sists of Dry Goods. Groceries, Clothing, Hats, Caps, which have been selected with great care, and especialy to meet the wants of this community. The buying public should not fail to call and examine their stock. Howard & Son, with their usual en­ terprise are also receiving new goods to meet their large and increas­ ing trade. Their Fall Stock is com­ plete and new goods are daily arriving. Read their advertisement. In short the merchants of McHenry are all live men, and the buying public can be assured of finding just what they want and iA low "figures by visiting McHenry. , INTERESTING TO ALL. This is to certify that We have used for a term of years the Custom Made and Warranted Boots and_Shoes kept for sale by Smith Bros. .&*Co. and can refeommend them to be A STo I in every respect, and we consider them relative­ ly cheaper than any other boots and shoes we have ever used.

The long talked of Base Ball match between the "Spring City" club of Woodstock and the "Bashful Boys" of this village,came off on Friday last, and resulted in a victory for the Wood­ stock boys by a score of 13 to 8, The game throughout was closely contested, and as the score will show, was one of the best games played in the county this season. This is but the third game played by the McHenry Club this year, and proves them to be made tip of ma­ terial not to be despised in the dia­ mond field. They are not at all dis­ couraged by their defeat*, but propose to "pick their flint and try them again" at no distant day. Below we append the score. Richmond Department. D. A. POTTER, EL>*?OR.

The C.ropg. EDITOR PLAINDEALER 1The farming community are just now very busy at haying and harvesting, and it may not be uninteresting to some of your readers in the villages and cities, to learn how the crops of this season are coming in. With the exception of wheat and barley, all the crops, usually raised in this sec­ tion are most promising. FARMER. Ssneca, Aug«K 15th 1875. P. S. Since writing the above»two sharp frost have nipped our Corn, Pota-i toes, Buckwheat, Beans and Cucumbers, doing much damage, J, •V.-v WOODSTOCK,. 1 EDITOR PLAINDEALER: -- An elope­ ment took place among the .Grangers in the east part of the township hist Tuesday afternoon, the 24th, by wliich J. H. Black lost his hired man, (Charley Dane, a German) and Wm. Terwilliger's hired man, (Charley Haas, another Teuton.) lost his wife. She left the dinner cooking on the stove, and with her only child walked to Ridgefield, where she and her . new Charley took the live o'clock train for Chicago. Mrs. Haas left a note informinghe#-husband that she no like him, and no like his lit­ tle girl, by his former wife; that she was going away and would not come back; that Mrs. Black owed her two dollars for washing which he might have, as it would be money enough for him. Haas was helping Mr, Watrous that day, so he did not miss his house­ keeper till night, and he supposing he had money in a Chicago Bank, which his wife had gone" in to deposit with her own, of which she had about $300, he was naturally a little nervous about his funds, and followed the runaways at ten the same evening, to find that the money had all beeif drawn out of the Bank about a month previous. On calling at Dane's home he was told that Charley came in in great haste after some clothes, and^tpon being asked to explain said that he «had run a pitchr fork into a farmer, and\did not stop to see whether he was dead or not, which iliiadc it necessary for him to 'light out' but he would come back. On Thursday night A. F. Davis, of Itidgcllcld, had his horse, harness, buf­ falo robe and buggy taken from his premises. He tracked the wagon to Crystal Lake Crossings the next morn­ ing. No clue to the thief*, but he will pay 025 for a sight of hiint. School opens next Monday with some changes in the corps of 1'eachers, but. as the Board, in the ^election of the new oneg, have exercised their usgal sagaci­ ty, the reputation of the school will not suffer by these changes. We are proud of the exterior of our school; it de­ volves upon the Board to see' that we have tto reason to be ashamedjOf the in­ terior. For some reason not plain to some of us, the' School Board have seen lit to drop Mr. Brown, the late Janitor, and have appointed in his stead Mr. David 31 iller. As far as we eau learn Mr. Brown bns gi'venj the most, perfect sa^ tisfaction to all, except perhaps one member of the Board; still the reason should be a cogent one that would in­ duce them to supercede one who gave entire satisfaction to parents and teachers, was a favorite with the chil­ dren, and who depended for his support upot) the meagre salary of 930 a month, by one who has ample means to live without labor, although not objection­ able as a man. Well, this illustrates the truth of the text, "To him that hath shall be given, and he shall have abun­ dance, but from him that hath not, shall be taken away, even that which he hath." Hay scales that have been idle all summer are begining to be useful again, which shows there is something to sell. Superintendent Hickox is busy^on the fair gifound, and will have things in apple-p|e order by the 21st. Henry Foot who has been doing up the blaoksmithing busiuess for the gran gers at Franklinville has sold-out to a Mr. Clark, and gofis to Missouri. Barber & Preston having become dis­ satisfied with their belt-gear have taken it out, and are substituting cog-gear therefor, besides removing their up­ right feed stone, in plaoe of which they are putting in a four foot horizontal one, and in a few days they will be ready to grind faster than ever. • So great is the rush of cucumbers that teams have to wait till near midnight before they can get unloaded, although the frost killed many of the vines,-- Took in 2500 bushels Saturday. The drain from the pickle tubs that opens at the bridge near the oooper shop will soon become a first class nui­ sance to those who can smell. Where is the health committee? ODD, Mr. L. P. Burrows has removed his barber shop and is now occupying the building opposite Alexander & Hyde's. Rumor says he is going to start a bak­ ery also;- Mrs. Jfettie Clark has taken up her stock ofgoodies for the little folks and all that love ice cream and such like luxuries, and gone over across the way into Mr. Boners building. Herself aud family are at Woodstock enjoying a va­ cation at present. Rev. P. W. Riggle occupied the pul­ pit for Rev. Earngey Sabbath morning. Services in the Congregational church, where they will probably continue un­ til the M. E. Church is completed. REMOVAL.--Mrs. G. B. Carpenter has removed to the rooms over G. N. Meads Hardware store, where she will be pleased to furnish her patr&js and friends with the a la mode hats, fancy goods, and alHuch articles belonging to the Millinery department as hereto­ fore, < The weather, |>eople say, has under­ gone a great change by moderating somftdegrees within th$ past few davs, and farmers begin to think this is fine for corn. There seems to be fair pros­ pect o>f a plenteous crop, if this weath­ er continues. FOR SALE.--One two seated buggy one single seat buggy one double wagon. All new and of the very best klnd% will be sold cheap for want of store room. o. w. Ows«r» Mrs. G. P. Wodell and family who have for the past few weeks been en­ joying a trip\to Iowa, are expected back this week'and her business tc» be be resumed the 2nd of September. wTe hope to see her returning with renewed strength and health improved.' *• One more of our number has sold out and another one is to be missed soon from our community. Mr. C. W. Stock man has sold his farm and is talking of going to St. Joe, Michigan, to meet and remain with the friends of his former days. Mr. C. O. McLain of Chicago is the purchaser. The long talked of improvements for the M. E. Church are now in progress. Preparations have been made concern­ ing the rearranging of the seats and the time for commencing its labor is fast approaching. We hope soon to see- what our eyes have been looking for in this direction. .. 4 Colton 6 Onrtfs, Woodstock, tak« Babies pictures on the wing.

DIED. '• la -North G imxn ••AlUf-; 27th. Martha wife of Benjamin Potter, aged 63 years and 5 months. She was born in Fort Ann Washing­ ton Co., N. Y. At the age of 28 she was united in marriage to Benj. Potter in Ft. Ann. In 1836 they rerpoved to Oneida Co., N. Y. -In 1854 they moved west and settled on a farm 5 miles north of Geneva Lake Wis. where they resided to the time of her death. Beiug possessed of an amiable disposition she was an aflebtionate wife, a loving moth­ er, kind good neighbor, beloved by all that kqew her. She was always an ex­ emplary and moral person. A few years ago, perhaps 10 years, she gave her heart to God. • She and her hus­ band both united with the Baptistf church at Geneva and from that time she lived a consistent, active, christian until her Saviour said enough, "Martha come up higher." She now lives in glory, and her bereft husband is left be­ hind to walk alone alittle longer; and not alone for Jesus is with him, to brighten his pathway and comfort him on his journey until his Master shall call him home to meet his loved ones gone before.
