OUR Richmond correspondent being away from home we are without our naual letter from that place this week. WE have just added to our office about $300 worth of the latest style of Job Type, auu are now prepared to do all kinds of Book and Job Printing in a style second to none. We have now the best arranged and most complete Job Office to be found in the county, our type being all new and of the latest styles, and to any of our friends want­ ing anything in this line we guarantee satisfaction, both as tostyle of work and prices. Do not forget the Old Settlers Party at the Riverside House on Thursday evening:. " As will beSeen by his advertisement elsewhere, II. Colby, at the Drug Store, Is again selling Boiled Linseed Oil for 76 cts. per gallon. J. BON'S LET, at his Bestaurant, "oppo­ site Owens' Mill, is tiow*receivingcfresh Oysters every Saturday. For sale by the dish or can. Tate work on the new Bridge is be- ing pushed With vigor, and will be near enough finished to admit of teams crossing with safety on Thursday. WE would call the attention of our readers to the Statement of the ^irst National Bank, Woodstock, which can be found in another column. L. PIKE, of Pike's Opera House, New York, is now stopping at the River­ side House,in this village. He isspend- jng a few weeks hunting and Ashing in this vicinity. B. D. SMITH, son of David S.^Smith, who now resides at Burton's Bend, Ne­ braska, is visitjipg parents and friends In this village. He intends remaining about a week. WE have received advertisements from A. Re id. Boot and JRhoe dealer, a id Mrs. S A. Reid,Milliner and Dress Maker, Woodstock, which will appear next week* S. L. TAYLOR, Editor of the Elgin Advocate, shed the light of his coun­ tenance in our sanctum on Wednesday last. He was on his way. to the Lakes for a days sport duck hunting. AN exchange says "Mrs. .Ns-t donnfog red and yellow." Yes, but it's the same old dress she had on last year: Mrs. Na­ ture must really take a back seat and read Jennie June. IT is nearly time to begin to gather the beautiful nutunm leaves, and par­ ties for that purpose will be in order. By pressing the leaves in books, and the aid of a little varnish and ingenui­ ty, they can be made very handsome ornaments. THE Daily Bluff X)ityy that lively little sheet published at Elgin, by Dud Randall, came out last week enlarged to a four column folio. It is one of the spiciest little sheets in the Northwest, and we are glad to note this evidence of its prosperity. We hope that by the demands of its patrons it may con­ tinue to enlarge, until Dud is known as one of the "solid" men of Elgin, Dud, here's our JKsT'&nd best wishes for future success. ' WE see that a Republican County Convention has been called40 meet in Woodstock on Saturday, the 28d7for~f"eli suits in the county, and the purpose of nominating candidates for Treasurer and County Surveyor. McHenry is entitled to eleven dele­ gates. HUNTERS from all parts of the coun­ try *re daily flocking to the Lakes, and from the strings of duck brought in, we judge are having rare sport. Last week parties from Elgin, Chicago and Wood­ stock, were among the many who paid their compliments to the web-footed game. WE learn that offers are l>eing made for a portion of the Wheeler farm, advertised on the fourth page of the PLAINDEALER. Mr. W. will be glad to receive offers for the remainder and also for the woodland, which, lies east of this village. This is a desirable property, and can be bought low. Read the advertisement. WE understand that Widow Porter and her sister-in-law, w|io reside at Volo, both of whom are over 70 years of age, have this year raised oyer 60 bushels of potatoes, having planted, hoed, dug and put then; into the cellar themselves. If there is any old or young women that can beat this Ave would like to hear from them. IE Steamboat broke from hetunoor- Ing* on Tuesday night. and on Wed­ nesday mis ruing stood like a -'stag at bay," in the center of the river, head­ ed towards shore. By the aid of some long poles she was pushed back to her proper position, and shortly after steamed away for the Lakes. The new name "Athlete," must have had a pow­ erful effect upon her. REPORTS from every part of the county indicate that there will be the largest crowd in McHenry on Thurs­ day that was ever known to assemble in any one place therein since the county was organized. In fact if Old Probabilities will only smile upon us on that day, everybody and his familv are sure to be here. All right, come on. If three oxen won't dowe will kill a whole drove. WE regret to learn of the sudden death Of Mason Fitch, of Woodstock, who died on Tuesday of last week. Mr. Fitch was a near neighbor of the writer in the State of New York, for many years, and the death of no man will be more keenly felt or deeply mourned by those who knew him than Mason Fitch. Honest and upright in all his dealings, he was honored and respected by all. He was about 65 years of age. ̂ 5 WE hear some talk of building a new Steamer at this place, to be ready for use next season. This Is a good idea. One should be built with a neat and tastily furnished Cabin, and an engine with sufficient power to run to Fox Lake in one hour. We think such a Steamer would be a profitable invest­ ment for the owners, as it certainly would be well patrontiedTfy"the pleas­ ure seeking public. Let the question be agitated, and steps at once taken to accomplish the desired result. WE would again remind the dancing public of the Old Settlers' Party at the Riverside House on Thursday evening. Mine host Wheeler is making prepara­ tions to accommodate all who may at­ tend in tho best possible manner, and those who have attended former par­ ties at this House know that he has few equals and 110 superiors in this line. Therefore we say when you come to the Old Settlers' Meeting be sure and tome prepared to stay to the party. v WE were shown by Wesley Ladd, of RingVood; a few days since some rel­ ics that can safely be called ancient. They were a pair of old fashioned hand-irons and a pewter platter, that Weisjjswl hy-r; his- •:grsiidmc»the r • thing over a hundred years ago, at least in the year 1775. The hand-irons were small, with brass tops, while the platter was large and weighed full six pounds. Mr. Ladd also 'liad a Cane that was made from the timber of the old ship Constitution. These are in­ deed #?'lics of ye olden times, and will, be on exhibition>at the Old Settlers' Meeting 011 Thursday. IN another column can he found an advertisement of the General Store of N. Donnelly, WOodstock,Tto which we invite the attention, of our readers'. Mr. Daunelly is one of the oldest mer- bv his long experience is enabled to buy goods in the Eastern market at bottom figures the benefit of which he always gives to his customers. Ilis stock is large and well selected, and the buying pub­ lic, when visiting Woodstock will al­ ways find Frank and Mac. ready to show them goods and look good na- tured whether you buy or not. Read the "Proclamation" in another col­ umn. THE Iluntley corespondent of the Marengo lirpublican says: Well, last week Johnny Smith "Married*-Ilella Card. That you see is a game in which |»e held high. John won her and took /the Card. Now comes George Smith 110 relation to Johnny, but he comes all the way from Pennsylvania to marry Rich, and this week Tuesday evening, just as the sun was going down behind the horizon. George Smith and Alzina Rich Were made one, ami on the first train they flew back to Pennsylvania. That is gett ing rich in a minute and he will probably hold 011 to it, under a different name, however. BRIGGS THOMAS, resitting in Rich­ mond, and known as one of the earliest settlers, regrets that he Is unable to at­ tend the "Old Settlers reunion" but sends compliments through the PLAIN- DEALER, as well as a few statistics relating to the longevity of his family. Commencing with his oldest brother, Amos Thomas, 88; Rufus Thomas, 81; Lydia Thomas, 79; Briggs, Thomas' 75; 151 ias Thomas, 73; Daniel Thomas, 71; Alfred Thomas, 69; Ruth Thomas, 65; Making a total of 603. Average, 75 apiece. This family are alive and in good health with the exception of Briggs Thomas,- whose infirmities are caused by old age and overwork. Who can beat this.

Lake County is wide-awake and will be out in full force, while the former old Settlers' of McHenry county, who now live In ether places, have signified their intention of being with us on that day, and c^very man and woman in McHenry county should make it a point to be here. Fill your baskets and make up your mind that you will at- Barbecue and have a good It will be a day long to be remembered with pleasure by all who participate. It is expected that Brass Bands will be In attendance from Woodstock, Marengo and Algon­ quin, besides several from Lake county. E. SWTNNEY, Agent for the last work of Livingstone^ entitled vThe. last journals of David Livingstone in Cen­ tral Africa, from 1865 to his death, with a narrative of his last moments and sufferings, with Portrait, Maps and Il­ lustrations," is now in this village, can­ vassing for the same. It Is one of the most facinating books published, and cannot £ai2 to interest every reader. It is wholly different from any book ever before published. It Is stronger than fiction, yet truthful in every par­ ticular. In speaking of this valuable work the Hartford 2'i;*es«ays: "The interest in the explorations and sad fate of Livingstone is not limi­ ted to any «one country-; it extends throughout the civilized world. There has been an especial interest and desire to see the Doctor's "last journals," aud these have just been published, in an elegant subscription octavo volume, by R. W. Bliss & Co., Hartford. Mr. Swinney has the Agency for Mc­ Henry county, and when he calls upon any of our readers we hope they will at least examine the work. It should be on tho the table of every family in the laud, as the book is valuable, not merely for its luminous inside views of Afrkatvfife, mannervswnery and char­ acter, but for its moral benefits. We predict for Mr. Swinney a large sale in this county. THEY have <oommenced a glove fac­ tory at Oshkosh. This is amove in the right direction. There is no good rea­ son why the west should depend upon Oloversville and Johnstown, New York for their gloves and mittens. Why not have Gloversville and Johnstown move out he IT instead of all the west going to them ?--Exchange. * That"*s the question, why not? The expense of starting a Glove and Mitten Factory is comparatively small, while the demand for the goods and the profits 011 the same are enormous. There is no good reason why this article, which is used by all, could not be made at home, and instead of sending our money to4he East, let it circulate right here among ourselves. A 'Glove ami Mitten Factory in McHenry would he a fortune to any man who woidd start 1%^ The \dea is worth careful con­ sideration at least. Sustain Your ,Journalist Not merely by the payment of suf>- sciption price for a single copy but by giving a liberal support. The wise Daniel Webster justly said long ago that every copy of news-ffant when read by an individual is worth the years subscription. This is to all a self evident fact, A journalist becomes to community eyes, ears, and tongue.-- More than this, he speaks with a thou­ sands tongues at once. His judgment in selecting from other papers .and con­ densing is a fortune to his readers. By so doing he virtually does our reading for us. In all these items the PLAINDEAIER comes short of no paper extant. Without a faithful journal we fail to know our own stalus almost as neigh­ bors, and quite as comparing with other Towns and communities. Success to Mr. Van Slyke in his no­ ble enterprise. Once more I say let us sustain our Journalist. A SUBSCRIBER Domestic Recipe n. EDITOR PLAINDEALER While read­ ing the columns of y6ur last issue, and not noticeing any of the domestic recipes which are always so interest­ ing to the housekeepers. I thought a few which I think very good, might be acceptable to some of your many readers. PICKLED APPLES.

COOKIES Two cups of sugar, one of but ic*. one of sweet cream, and a teaspoont'ul of soda; Cinnamon to your taste. Mix soft and bake iu quick oven, FARMERS DAUGHTER. SHALL McHEXRY BECOME A MANU­ FACTURING VILLAGE t The above is a pertinent question, and perhaps, some one will say, not easily answered. Let us look at the matter for a moment from a disinteres­ ted standpoint. Every man recognizes the fact that something must W done to keep the mouey at home* that is now sent away to build up other cities. But the query arises, what shall we manufacture? As we before said, the question is a pertinent one, and can only be answered by a general inter­ change of opinions. Let every man who has an idea on this subject, give his views briefly, and have them pub­ lished. In this way we can arrive, at some conclusion as to what mechanical branch Would be the most profitable, and give employment to the largest number of workmen. We have, at different times, interviewed some of( the business men of this village in or­ der to lay their views before the read­ ers of the PLAINDEALER. It seems to be the general opinio^ that to manu­ facture plows, cultivators and other farm Machinery, would be the most profitable to begin with. A joint stock company, with a capital of #10,000 could be started, making the shares $50 each, with monthly payments of five dollars until the stock is paid up. In this way nearly every man in the village conld lend a helping hand toward establish­ ing the first manufactory. As the business increased the capital stock could be added to, till by-and-by we could send our wears to other counties and make their wealth tributary to the growth of our village. The plan is a simple diie, and can be successfully carried into immediate execution. We have a home market for the articles specified, and there would be no great ri9k in the experiment. One branch of manufacturing will bring Others. The people of McHenry are now depending upon others places for every article that is needed, aud they will continne so to do until some movement is made toward supplying the demand by home manufactories. Every mechanic is in­ terested in creating a demand for his labor, and every merchant will be ben­ efited by an increased population. The more consumers the greater the sales would be in dry goods, boots and shoes, groceries, and everything ®!§e, Our farmers could buy their imple­ ments" at home, besides having abetter market for their produce.- There is no end to the advantaged that a manufac­ turing town has over one that is purely commercial. New life would be given to our beautiful'Yittle town, and the beneficial results would be felt by all classes. And this is not all that might be aor complished if our citizens would only interest themselves in the matter. In the large cities there are scores of man­ ufactories of different kinds, who, if some little inducement were offered them, would locate in our village, and by investing their capital and employ­ ing a large number of men, add material ly to the wealth and prosperity of our town. In fact, within the past year we have heard of several parties from Chi- cagci who have been seeking locations for machine ^ehops and other manufac­ tories. And that our location and easy access to market is largely in favor of manufacturing interests locating here is a fact beyond dispute. Another business which suggests it- sell to our mind is a Woolen Factory. It wouid make a home market for all our Wool, and a large amount of pro­ duce, and save not only paying trans­ portation to and from the seaboard but save thousands of dollars at home that is now paid to Eastern merchants and manufactures Aswesaid before one manufacturing interest will bring another, aud each one will tend to in­ crease,our population and,,, build up our village. As far as location is con­ cerned there is no pleasanter or heal­ thier place to be found in the North­ west, than McHenry. Surrounded by a rich atod pi*os#ferous farming commu­ nity, all\ttat it ii<>c<ls is some manufac­ turing interest it the first Vil­ lage in the countyfe«rf Now the question is who will take the lead, and make an effort towards iLaving something off this kind estab­ lished in our midst If it is thought advisable let a public meeting be called and have an interchange of views on, this, to every resident of McHenry most important subject. The question now Is whether we will sit down aud hug the delusivo phantom of hope that some outsider will come in, unsolicited and start the much needed manufac­ turing establishment, or whether Our citizens will bestir themselves and see ^hat it is done at once. Let no man turn a cold shoulder to any enterprise that may seek a location among us. The more we get the bet­ ter for all, and no petty jealousies should be allowed to drive one away. What is good for the merchant is , good for the mechanic, and what benefits the mechanic cannot fail to benefit the producer.
