THK McHenry County Fair com­ ments on Tuesday next, tlie 21st. See notice in another column. THE particulars of the Railroad dis­ aster near Harvard can be found in our Nun da correspondence. WE acknowledge the receipt of Com- plimentaries to the McIIepry County and Waukegan Fairs, for wftifch we hereby return thanks. AN exchange says a confectioner ad-' vertices 'Centennial kisses,' but he can't sellahy. No; people don't like them so old. . They prefer them about Six- teen-uial. ONE of our exchanges advises people to shoot burglars on the spot. But it don't say what spot. W* presume a man who catches a burglar in his house can take his choice^ AN Auction Sale of the personal property of Alex. fJardner, deceased, will take place at his late residence, near Woodstock on Saturday next, the 18th. BEV. B. N; WIVES, formerly Pastor of the Universalist Church, in this vil­ lage, made us a pleasant call on Monday morning. He is now residing at Ma­ comb, in this State. HON. F. K. GRANGER has left at our office a stalk ofcorn that is fourteen feet in height, the ear being full ten feet from the ground. Is it necessary to en­ quire "IIow is that for high f --;--^ FOR want of room we are obliged to cut down some of our correspondence, and leave others out entirely this week, for all of which we ask forbearance, and will try and not have it occur again. WE are prepared to print letter and note heads, bill beads, statements, En­ velopes, and in short do all kinds of printing, in the best of style and at low figures. Call and see specimens. THE Woodstock Dramatic Society play the "Hidden Hand" during the Fair next week, we believe on Wed­ nesday and Thursday evenings. No ©ne who goes to Woodstock should fail to see them. WE are requested to give notice that the regular monthly meeting of the Teachers Association m this county, will be held at Algonquin on the first Saturday in October. A general at- tendence of the Teachers of the county Is requested. WE think we have the "boss" Cab­ bage of the county. It was left in our sanctum on Saturday last by our Post Master, John. M. Smith, and weighs twenty pounds andfive ounces. If there Is any individual in this or any other place that has one that can beat this we would like to have him or her make it manifest now by producing the cab­ bage. If there is no one to-compete we will call on our P. M. to tell us "what he knows about farming." B. A. FORD, of the Fine Art Gallery, has retiirned froni Fox Lake, where lie suceeded in getting some very fine views of Lippincott's and the Chicago <21ub Houses, and other scenes on the Ivakc. That they are fine views is evi­ denced by the fact that the Chicrtgo Club ordered 300 at once. They £an be seen by calling at his Gallery, "where they will be found for sale after * few days. Evervbody who ever vis­ ited Fox Lake should have one of each. As will be seen by referenqe to our King wood correspondence, there,will be anotfrier of their excellent ••Sunday School Concerts at the Church in that village, on Sunday evening next.-- These monthly entertainments given at Ringwood are very highly spoken of by all who have attended them and are growing better, if that were possi­ ble, each month. No one who is with­ in reasonable^ distance should fail to attend «n Sunday next. It will Avell repay you. OWING to the storm of, Tuesday and "Wednesday of last week, the Old Set­ tlers Meeting at Fox Lake was almost a total failure, it being almost impos­ sible to get there on account of the high water, and the washing away of bridges all over the country. On Fri­ day, however, we learn that quite a crowd were in attendance, and enjoyed themselves as well as,could,be expected under the circumstances. The regatta and other sports advertised were of worse necessarily postponed. THE BIG STORM. Ou Tuesday and Wednesday nights of last week this section was visited by one of the severest rain storms, accom­ panied by thunder and lightning, ever known in thiB section. The rain came down in torrents, and on Thursday morning very small streams and ponds were swelled to the proportions of riv­ ers. and in many places mill dams and ere Avept away and untold damage done. ; ' In tids village the dam near Owens' Mill barely escaped, and had it not been one of.the best could not have stood the test. As it was large exca­ vations were made in the South end, and had it not been for the prompt action of Mr; Owen and his men, the dam would have been swept away, The foot-bridge and main bridge, be­ low were not so fortunate, the former being swept entirely away and the abutments of the latter so undermined that it fell into the creek during the day. A temporary structure now does duty at that point. The flat on the east side of the street from the Mill was one vast lake, and the Jliyer was higher than it has been known for years.. . . ' " " • The' Race at Hanicy's Mill was car­ ried away and his damage 1B estimated at not less than $100. In all parts of the county we hear of great destruction of property hv the flood, and on the railroads the destruc­ tion of property and loss of life is im­ mense. Certainly such astorm h^s not been known for many years. As will be seen by reference to our correspond­ ence, it was not confined to any partic­ ular locality but was general through­ out the Northwest; May its like not visit us again soon. IN the last few days we have noticed unusual activity at the Hardware Store of .TohnM. Smith, the cause being that he is now putting in his fall Stock of Stoves, and if we are any judge h£ is getting in one of the largest stocks ever brought into the county. He informs us that he has selected with the great­ est care, and from a long experience was enabled to get those particularly adapted to the wants of the citizen of Mcllenry and surrounding country. He has a full line,of cOok and heating stoves, for either coal or wood, of the latest known pal tern? in the market, which have been bought at bottom fig­ ures, the benefit of which he proposes to give to his customers. His leading Stove is the "Grand Union," and it needs only to"be seen tq be admired, not only for its beauty but for. its prac­ ticability. Therefore, we say there is no need of freezing or using an old cracked smoky stove, for by calling on John M., either at the Post Office. or sit his Store near the Depot, he will sell you one just suited to your tasta, a good deal cheaper .than you can steal it. Read his advertisement and be sure and call and ' see his new stock. He also has his usual stock of Shelf and Heavy Hardware, to which he invites the attention of the biiyiug public. •OWING to the severe storm and high water but a small portion of the. pro­ gramme advertised at Xippersink Point on Friday last was carried out. The two Silver Cups were won by Chicago gentlemen, but the principal part of the sport seemed to- centre ou the Pigeon Shoot, which was kept up until near sundown. We were unable to be present ourselves, but those who did attend are unanimous in their praise of the Game Dinner, which was pro­ nounced supe;*b. Had the weather been good the crowd would have been much larger. WE would call the attention of our readers tQ the card of the Waukegan Cigar Manufactory to be found in another column. Cigars from this Manufactory are sold in almost every public place ii^ the Northwest. $nd ea­ gerly sought after by lovers of the weed. His celebrated "E. M. D." brand is a universal favorite, and we think no bet ter or more pleasant cigar can be found. If a man wishes to be at peace with himself and the Test-of mankind all he has to do is to get an "E. M. D." seat himself in an easy chair and--it will all end in smoke. WE are glad to be able to anounce to our readers that we are to have a Bakery in McIIenrv. F. Best, a practi­ cal Baker of long experience, who for the past four years has been located in Woodstock, has rented the corner store opposite the Mcllenry House, and will, in a few days open a Bakery and Con­ fectionery store therein. We bespeak for Mr. Best, a liberal patronage by our citizens, and while his locating here will prove a great benefit to the village, we trust it will also prove profitable to him. IN speaking of the burning of the house of Riley Gibson last week, we inadvertently stated that his loss was about $400. In this we made a mis­ statement. He lost not only his furni­ ture but the entire wearing appall of himself and family, and the loss will not foot up less than $550or $600. TIIE Rev. Mr. Hewes, of the M. E. Church of this village and the Rev. J. Hartman, of Woodstock, will exchange pulpits on Sunday next. Services at the usual hour. * JOHN GARVER, of Richmond, deliver- ered a temperance lecture in the Uni­ versalist Church on Sundav evening last. Fair I Fair!! Fair!! Fair!! .

Fellotv Citizens:Sever was there a better prospect of a successful Fair,-- Never was there such an opportunity of exhibiting all the resources of Mo- Henry County. Never had the farmer so much to arouse his pride and ambi­ tion. The acreage is extensive and the yield per acre is almost fabulous. A few more days of this fine weather and Jack Frost will shake his hoary locks over our corn fields in vain. Already many fields are beyond his reach, and once matured old Egypt cannot vie witli us in the product of corn. As to vegetables the yield beggars all de­ scription; and whoever would know and appreciate what McHenry county is. or is to be, must attend our Fair.-- The industry and intelligence of our citizens, whether farmer, mechanic or artisan, cannot be understood in any other • way as well as through the Agency of Fairs, where specimens of their handiwork is placed before the eye. It is true, our Public* Schools are unsurpassed and our (5) Connty papers have a corps of editors of whom we may well be proud, and who are ever wide-awake to the interest of our grand okl county. But through our schools and papers we learn only theo­ ries. It is upon our farms, in our work-shops,-and various-places of busi­ ness, at our County, State and National Expositions, where we learn the prac­ tical working of theories drawn from schools and periodicals, Our coming exhibition will not fall to please the most fastidious or to amuse the fu unlov­ ing, und he who stays away must wait another twelve months for a like op­ portunity. The refreshment depart­ ment is under the care of the Presby­ terian and Baptist Churches of Wood­ stock, and "blessed 'are they who come hungry and thirsty for they shall be filled." The Officers and Committee^ have' done and are doing all in their power, have done their duty to the best of their ability. Do ye yours as well, and all will rejoice in our grand success Yotire Very Respectfully, ASA W. SMITH, Secretary. The Lak« County Fair.

EDITOR PLAIN-DEALER: -- m Dunder and Blitner" has been on the rampage during the week past, spoiling fence posts, trees and telegraph poles, keep­ ing the nervous awake nights, and slightly damaging some few buildings, aniong them being the residence of L, H. S. Barrows and that of t^e Brass Bros., in Seneca. The buildings struck were provided with lightning rodfC from two to twenty on each, but o£ course they were of the wrong kind, or put up by the wrong man: the presump­ tion being that .whatever structure escapes has the correct rod. until it to© is hit. Within the memory of any one tfho has lived fn Woodstock for the past one hundred and fifty years, as great a quantity of rain has ,not fallen in the same tinVe as at the shower of last Tuesday and following. Phoenix Mills will start the engine again next Thursday. In making their recent improvements Barber & Preston have spared neither money nor pains to make their Mill tV very best in the county. The late-clymgejuis cost them about $1000.

It is su|licient to say that it is an honor to the plaete of its origin. Now we know when the Fair is to be held. The playing of the Barry Comedy Troupe did not draw very full houses, and some say out own Dramatic Society can do better. As they are actively engaged in preparation and some new scenery has been painted.we anticipate, something better than they have v/t given us. So far we are proud of our home Theatre.

EDITOR PLAIXDEALER:--• We have just emerged from the recent deluge with sufficient life to shake ourselves and express our a^onishment and thanks that so little destruction of life % • and property stares us in the face, or comes to our ears from the surrounding country, as the eflett of two of the most fearful storms of rain, accompanied by the most continually terrifflc lightning an,d thunder of which we have any his­ tory since good old Noah started on his voyage to the summit of Mount Arrarat. We learn however, that many thousand tons of* hav has been sub­ merged on the flat lands of the country, and where it lias been cut and stacked near streams, juts been floated away. Mucb stock has been drowned in the low land pastures, many mill dams have given a\vay I; fore the sudden, mighty -rush of waters,'and as a consequence, very many 'bridges have been swept away. A great many ladies might have been seen on Thursday or Friday morn, ing with anything but pleasant coun­ tenances, mo;) in hand ridding their floors of the inkv water which had forced its way down chimneys, or wherever « channel could be found lead­ ing to the inside of the house, while the men equally as cheerful, could be seen in various parts of the country, carrying or pumping water out of their cellars, neither of them too careful what they said. But as we said before, we were surprised and thankful it was no worse. F. W. Mead having sold his property in Ringwood, and in company with Bernard Harrison( bought the Wagon and Blacksmith shop of Robert Sibley in Richmond, moves his family to that place this wr k, where they will engage in the manufacture and repairing of all kinds of Carriages and Wagons, such as no.doubt no men in Northern Illinois can excel. Although he leaves two excellent men in his place here, Blake & Myers, who can, and will do us all the good we need in their line, yet as neighbors we regret to lose them. We wish them much joy and great prosperity in their new home, espe­ cially Bernard. Our Sabbath School is making un­ usual preparations for their next Con­ cert which will be held in the Congre­ gational church next Sunday evening at Six o'clock. No expense will be •spared to make this the most interest­ ing of the season. An .admission fee of 15 cts. will be charged for the purpose of defraying the expenses and increas­ ing their library. Every eftbrt will be made to richly repay all who may fa­ vor us with their presence.
