TICKETS are put for a Harvest Party at the Parker HoUse, this Wednesday evening. Good music will be in atten­ dance and a good time generally is ex­ pected. ; WAUKEGAN Fair is being held this week, and promises to be one of the most successful ever held by the Socie­ ty. Quite a number froin this village are in attendance. WE understand that James A. Du- fleld, of Marengo, will remove to this village about the middle of October. He comes here as a representative of the Singer Sewing Machine company. WE learn that Hon. M. L. Joslyn, of Woodstock; had a visit from some cracksman on Friday night last, by which he lost his gold watch, chain and $80 in money. REV S. HEWES will preach his farewell sermon at th^ M. E. Church,, in this village on Svrifday next. He goes next week to the Rock River Conference, which will be held this year at Joliet.

The boat will leave McHenry at 10 A.M. and return at5P.M. f -• :" £> Bisiior having gone to the Fair at Waukegan, his Agricultural Works will be closed for a day or two. Those wish­ ing anything at the shop can be accom­ modated by calling at the Hardware Store of John M. Smith. THE new McHenry Bakery is now open and ready for business, the lirst baking having been done in the new oven on Saturday, which proved No. 1 in every particular. Look out for Mr. Best's new advertisement next week. DR A. A. RICE, Dentist, who visits this place every Saturday, will be una­ ble to be here next Saturday owing to pressing business which calls him in another direction. He will be here ; \ regularly every Saturday thereafter. V OLD Settlers Party at Riverside House, on Thursday evening, October ' 14th. Come to the Old Settlers meet­ ing prepared to stay and have a good time at the Party. The best of music will be in attendance, and no one can fail to have a good time. WE would call particular attention to the "advertisement of W. II. Sanford, Merchant Tailor, Woodstock, to be found in another column. Mr. S. is well and favorably known throughout the county, and it needs but a mere men­ tion of his locality to insure liim a call from his old friends and customers. THE Arm of Philbrick & Dickinson, Boot and Shoe dealers, Woodstock, has been dissolved, C. II. Dickinson buying out his partner, and continuing the business at the old stand. Charley is a good business man and has host of friends who are glad to know that he is prospering, and is tp continue to sell them Boots and Shoes akheretofore. -:'WE.^iL|^ "gofs" Cabbage, and now • we havtiiw^l- :y>ples, the "boss" t Vsquast ,m«l "jjjp'w.'t^ee^# of McHenry.

But they dont cuss any over a little thing like that.,--oh, no! r ? *' _ - • r OWING to the length of the Fair re­ port published in another column, our regular Woodstock correspondent is unavoidably crowded out this week. If our correspondent will bear with us we will try and not have it occur again. We are also obliged to leave out sever­ al other articles that will appear in due time!. • IN another column can be found the new advertisment of C. F. Hall, of the Dundee and Richmond cheap store. Time and space will not permit us to speak of Mr. Hall and his business as we would wish this week, but >ve shall refer to it again next week. In the mean time read his advertisement to be found elsewhere. - WE would again remind -readers Of the Teachers Meeting, whiekwiil be held at Algonquin the first Saturday, the 2d day of October, It is earnestly hoped that there will be a full atten­ dance Of the Teachers of the county on that occasion. The proceedings of the last meeting can be found on the fijrst page of this paper. ACCOMPANYING a well filled bag left at our sanctum on Monday was the fol­ lowing: VOLO, SKIT., 27th 1S75.

It is evident that Mr. C. never saw a hungry Editor eat, but Whether or not he has under-estimated our eatiflg qual­ ities, we heartily thank him fof the do nation. THE temporary bridge near Owen's Mill, came near being the cause of ! a serious accident, on Friday last. Two ladies were driving from the South side, when their horse became fright­ ened at the rickety old conecrn and backed tliem down the embankment, tipping over the buggy, but fortunately causing them no serious injury. The buggy was badly demoralized. Our authorities should lose no time in re­ pairing this dangerous place, In its present condition it is a regular man trap, and life and limb are in danger when ri^ijig in that vicinity.

A lady from New England says to her lady friends; "By all means pro­ tect yourselves from the insults of those loafing"tramps" whose name is de­ servedly "Legion." Let every mis­ tress of family and all others who may, equip themselves with Pistol or Re­ volver, practice their use, and so pre­ pare for self-defence. Just review the account of their procedure, and decide if we are ultra in our advice, or if there is any other remedy within our reach. X. Fou some time the propriety of hold­ ing an Old Settlers Meeting in Mc­ Henry the present Fall has been dis­ cussed, but no decisive steps were ta­ ken in that direction until Saturday last when a meeting was called for the purpose of getting the sense of the people in regard to the matter, when if' was unanimously resolved that-a Meeting of the Old Settlers of McHenry and Lake counties be held in this vil­ lage oii Thursday, Oct. 14th. The proper Committees were appointed, and work commenced in earnest, and we can now announce for a certainty that the meeting will take place. As will be seen by the programme pub­ lished in another column, it will be similar to the one so successfully held in this village in September, 1S69, viz: a Barbecue- A table will be spread in the Public Square, three Oxen Roasted, and ample provisions supplied for all who may see fit to attend, Hon. John Wentworth, of Chicago, will deliver the Address, and should tlie weather prove favorable, we confidently antici­ pate one of the largest crowds evfer seen in McIIenry. With the prestige of the one' in'69, we^ee no good reason why this meeting cannot be equally so. It novV behooves ever one of our -citi­ zen to put their shoulder to the wheel and lend their aid to this end. Old Settlers Heeting BARBECUE, « AT MCHENRY. <• *v ( _ -yy « !~ .. .

CREENWOOO^X ; ( EDTTOR PLAIN DEALER MTlie pas t WCek has been an unusually quiet time with us in thissectiou ; nothiujac of im­ portance has transpired from which we can gather even a shadow of news, un­ less we pattern after the Sentinel, by saying, "the Fair has been a success,v and then tell you some things we saw there, besides, a great many thing* we didn't saw,--all of which, we do not propose to do, as we do not spell that kind o£ suecess in that way, without adding the compound sufiix-fulfailure. Then again it would not be fair, to tell all about what we saw there* as those who went paid for seeing what they saw, and they saw enough, and it would only make those who did not go, un­ happy to think they let such an oppor­ tunity pass, consequently we choose to keep still. K. Another of the corps of Baldwin teachers begin his labors this week. This time, they will catch Jesse at Crystal Lake. But do not be alarmed, you will get all you have bargained for, if you have employed him for a No. 1 teacher. Mr. N.J, Chesebro and family are out from Chicago on a short stay at his fathers, his mother and sister having been very sick with Dlptheria, since arriving home, his own child has been taken with the same disease, though all are somewhat improving at present. Mrs. J. P. Dassow is quite side with the same disease. On Saturday last some of our boys thought to try their luck at fishing, meeting with fine success, takiug out some five to six hundred lbs. of fine Red Horse, Pickerel, and Bass. There are quite a number of our citi­ zens attending the Chicago Exposition this week, but won't they be sick enough of it when they think of our County Fair? We were glad to notice the mention of our candidate, for County Treasurer, Mr. Geo, II. Garrison, in the Richmond Departn^it of your last issue, We know not Mr. Garrison's wishes per­ sonally in regard to this matter, but, in presenting his name for the consider­ ation of the voters of the count}', we deem it unnecessary to enter into any eulogistic display of his good qualtities &c., as he is too well known throughout the county and with members of the County Board to require it, We trust our friends throughout the County will unite with us in giving him a hearty support. We feel to a eertaiu extent that we have a claim for representation upon the County, having been but twice represented since the County Organi­ zation, in the list of its officers. We do not ask for more than our share, but would like to keep EVEN. Ford's combination Side and Skylight is superior to any in the State, and so well arranged that he has no difficulty in making brilliant photographs in cloudy or dark days as well as clear. It also cuts the heavy shade off from the neck and does not leave it as black as an etheopian's, but brings it out full and round in all its graceful contour. NUN0A. EDITOR PLAINDEALER :•--Last Wed­ nesday evening at a quarter past tew, our people were aroused, (them that had gone to sleep) by the cry of fire. Three or four women run through the streets crying fire until they could not speak ont loud. Ed. Bryant heard a noise down stairs in his furniture store, (he had just gone to bed up stairs) and went to the hal! way where he- en­ countered flames and smoke so thick he, could not pass, and went out the front window and jumped of the porch, so scared he did not save his clothes. He ran to Mr. Lincoln's house, throwing a chunk of wood against the door before he got there, and woke them up. His store was only 12 feet from them. He then went back to save some of the fur­ niture but only got out about $25 worth. The fire commenced under the stairs or in the hall way as it burst out that side of the building first. The furniture store was in ashes in 60 minutes. John Palmer was going home from town and noticed the lire. He gave an alarm al­ so and came back, running np to his fathers store, w hich was about SO feet from Bryant's store, he endeavored to get on the roof but no ladder could be found long enough. He went np in Jlasohic hall and eut a hole through and went out and stood on the roof and throwed water around under the eaves, a place where no man could stand at any other time. There was a stranger in town standing ardund not doing anything and John asked him to help. He said he couldn't see it. John says, "won't you please help put out the fire," but he would not. Mr. Palmer's building was scorched black the whole length of it, and no insurance. Mr. Vcrmilyea's house hi which lived Mr. Lincoln was damaged to the amount of 825, in burning of the siding and win­ dows broken. No insurance. There was a row of trees between the house and store which helped to save the buildings Lafe Bentlmysen went up and sat on the ridge of the house and water was passed to him which he threw around under the eornice, he sitting in the heat most of the time; they had to throw water on him every lit­ tle while when he would catch afire. He had no boots o«. Mr. Lincoln's fur- niture was all saved but damaged about 825. Ira Mallory's store across the street was blistered by the heat and twenty big front lights broken. Damage 825. 1). C, Mallory stood and threw a half pail full of water at a time clear tp the upper windows. Mr. Miller went up on the roof and with a wop kept the cornice wet which saved the store Ira was In Chicago and came home the next day and took five applications for insurance in .the Hart­ ford and ./Etna Insurance Co's., The street was crowded with people who worked in unison, and only for their help a great deal more property would have been burnt and we hereby return our thanks for their assistance. Bry­ ant Bros, were insured in the Canadian of Canada, $1000 on building and 81000 on stock, which will cover their loss. No one can tell the cause of the fire. Why don't our citizens get together and organize a fire company of some kind or build some ladders and make them stationery <^n the highest build­ ings. . i , l We received a call from V(. C. Wil­ liams, editor and publisher of the Ar­ lington Heights Advertiser, last Fri­ day. John Evenson has just received a new stock of Drugs and has a new show case. Now advertise John in the PLAINDEALER, and build up a good trade. John Evenson had just had the upper rooms over the ftirniture store papered and calcimined and was going to move the next day. He had j^ot up a new stove which was hurut ujj. But few of our (people went to the Fair this year and what few went report it not as good asjusual, and a higher price to get iu.^ Fred IlaiiOver and wife arrived in town Tuesday evening of lasi week. Fred used to be operator here eight years ago. John and Arsfemus Bcardsley com­ menced grinding sugar cane at their mill Sept., 22. There is a good deal of sorghum around here and they work it up on shares. v Capt. Beckley bought out Lafe Beji- thuysen last Saturday, and is coming here to run a blacksmith shop and we bespeak for him a good run of busi­ ness. Artie Vermilyia went 6ut in the woods the other dav to gather ha­ zel nuts with his father's horse and wagon> and came back minus a dash board and other things broke, having run over a stump. Do not trust so small boys with teams, Life and limb are in danger. Mr. Ellsworth dug a potatoe last week that weighed 2| lbs. Beat that. Chas. Vermllyea sold out to Johu Evensen Saturday Sept. 25th. Con­ siderations $000. Charley is going to Janesvilie. * We hear Mr. Archdeacon has sold out to Mr. Numson of Baltimore, If so, our farmers stand a good show of getting cash for their produce next year, Mr. Numson being worth 82.500.0(H). Will Lincoln has gone to breaking on the Galena road. Elder GreyJJwill build here in the spring. Where was Col berg during the fire? Sitting on his trunk near the corner ready to flee. / Vosburgh, do not try to discourage people from putting out a lire again. It don't look well. \ * « Kichmond Department. D. A. POTTER, EDITOR.

Teachers and scholars are all hard at work with a fine prospect of having one of the very best schools in McHenry County. We would suggest to the pat tons of tlifl school that theyjgisit the school often. By so doing it encourages teachers and schol­ ars and benefits the visitors. They become more interested in the sttccest of the school and in sympathy with it, and ii>.«teadof censure or criticism they will see the trials and difficulties the teachers have, and will feel more like sympathizing with them and smooth­ ing their pathway up the rugged hill. Try it, patrons, faitlifnlly for one year, visit the school regularly, and our word for it grumbling will come to an end. This week our stirring town is nearly deserted. Quite a number are at Wood stock attending the Circuit Court, now in session, and a large nuniher have gone so Chicago to attend the Exposi­ tion. Success to them. May they all have a pleasant, happy time, and as we cannot enjoy the privilege of sight­ seeing we will content ourselves by an­ ticipating what tots of good times they are having. Richmond has two good Meat Mar­ kets. John Billings, who is noted for keeping the choicest meats, and his Market is always neat and inviting. A. S. Martin has recently purchased John Bogart's Market, and as he is a man that is a number one judge of good beef the pnblic may depend upon Mar­ tin keeping a first rate Market, and the public can take their choice between two good markets. Try them. MARRIED.--In Richmond, Sept. 22d, at the bride's residence, by Rev. S. Eariigey, James E. Carpenter, to Mrs. Luciuda L. both of Richmond. The past A^cek quite a number of the Richmond people attended our County Fair, and as people are always on the lookout for something of interest or profit at such times, they were looking around and some of thiem noticed pla­ carded on a covered carriage, "This carriage for 81.50." They soon learned the how of it and several of our citi­ zens paid their 81.50 and took a ticket, J. Robinson, our Railroad Agent, with the rest, and he was the lucky man, and drew the carriage, prized at some 8300. The carriage is here in Richmond in good rnnning order, all O. K., and Mr. Robinson returns his thanks to his nu­ merous friends who assisted in procur­ ing for him such a carriage. They helped buy all the tickets and then drew blanks. That is one way to help. Downing & Dennison keep a fhll line of Furniture and House Furnishing Good.-, Parlor and Chamber sets, win­ dow shades, and also are agents for some of the finest, best toned Ojgans that are offered in any market. Per­ sons wanting anything in their line will save time and money to come to Richmond, as they are determined to keep the best goods and sell the cheap­ est. Beautiful, bright, sunshiny, warm weather, and notwithstanding Jack Frost has done a considerable injury to Buckwheat, Corn, Cucumbers, and such like crops, this warm weather is ripen­ ing the corn, and farmers are having fine weather to secure their crops, and are improving it in cutting up corn, digging Potatoe, threshing their grain, and doing fall work in general. Small grain is yielding a good crop, Tlax it averaging 12 to 13 bushels per acre, Oats from 50 to 60 bushels.
