It will appear in our next. H. A IFTISH, Attorney at law, re­ moved his family to Chicago on Mon­ day last, where he intends making his home for the future. O LD PROBA.UILITFS hais got on another rampage, and m ud is again king in this section. The indications now are that we shall have an early Spring and' good crops the coming season. "ST. PATRICK'S Day in the morning," will be celebrated by a grand Party at the Parker House, in this village, to be given under the direction of the Mc- Ilenry Social Club. Good music will be in attendance. Tickets will be issued in a few days. -II. COLBY, Druggist, has a change in his advertisement this week, which those wanting anything in bis line will ^do well to note.

TICKETS have been issued for a grand Aniversary Ball, at National Hall, Woodstock, on Friday evening, March 17th, (St. Patrick's Day.) Hand's Or. chestrjf of Xhicago, has been engaged • to furnis h the music, and one of the most pleasant and enjoyable parties of tile season is expected. J. M. SMITH was busy last week mar­ king down his Tinware to suit the times. He has a large stock which he inconstantly adding to. and the recent 'decline in stock has induced himto give Shis customers the benefit thereof. Therefore if you want anything in the Q'inware line, call at the Post Office and learn his prices. THE next Sociable by the Ladies of the Universalis! Society will be held at the residence of Amos Whiting, miles Southwest of this village, on 'Thursday, to-morrow, evening. If the weather should prove good it is ex­ pected that there will be a large atten­ dance. All who attend can rest assured 6t having a good time. ALL fchouM uear in mind the Teach­ ers Meeting, to be held in this village on Saturday 'next. It is hoped that every teacher in the county will make'it a point to be present. These meetings are becoming more interes­ ting each month, and are proving of 'lasting-benefit'to the Teachers. Re­ member the date, this week Saturday, March 11th. at McIIenrv. OXE evening last week they ha^ a ""play" in Granger's Store that was not put down in the bills. While lighting the lamps the tissue paper ornaments ;in the centre of the'Store, over the chandalier, caught Are, and a grand .illumination for a few minutes was the consequence. A slight scare and a little blistering of paint wag the only damage. THROUGH the politeness of W. S. ^Dennis we are in receipt of a copy of '"The Monthly Juniora small monthly paper published in Waukegan. by Bruce Whitney & Co., two boys only twelve years old.

BCCKUK ft STEVENS. HE can *be seen next door to A. B Cewlin's iiii Main Street, Woodstock. Business of McHenrJ. Talk about business being dull in McHenry! You are mistaken;'tis true people are not throwing away their money as formerly ;everybody is on the move for economy, and paying cash for wfyat they wint. We have a healthy trade? The demand is limited, the supply ample; everything is getting down to a solid basis. Laboring men can buy lots here at a reasonable price and the town will go forward; and the price of lots, like every other commo­ dity. will find their level. We shall from time to time give our readers a short article on the dormant energies of McHenry that in the near future will waken with the more splendor from having beeu kept in the dark so long. Our locality and Advantages are not surpassed, and our citizens need but to ^improve the opportunities offered to reap the advantages Of the future. AN exchange says; "The matter of advertising, as a business measure, is often misunderstood. It is an unde­ niable rule of the trade that advertis­ ing pays. Of course the same judg­ ment and prudence must be exercised in advertising as in any other part of one's business. If this is not done, in­ stead of paying it inky become a source of loss., It is more necessary to adver­ tise now than it was fifty or a. hundred years ago. People are more busy now than they were then. They have less time and leisure to look about for what they want. They look to the newspa­ pers to learn where their wants can be supplied, and they accept it as a settled rule that a man who advwtises the commodities which he has to dispose of instead of waiting for the people to find it out themselves, is the best man to deal with, and most likely to give satisfaction." As will be seen by a notice elsewhere the firm of Smith Bros. & Co„ has been dissolved by mutual consent, David S and John C. Smith retiring, and the business will hereafter be carried on at the old stand by Philo D. Smith, the Junior member of the late firm, who informs us that he will immediately fill up the store with a choice stock of Spring and43ummer goods* especially adapted to the wants of this communi­ ty. Mr. Smith is an experienced and close buyer, and from his extended ac­ quaintance and well known business qualifications is sure to keep up the reputation so long enjoyed by the old firm. As soon as his new goods arrive it will be duly announced through these columns. D. S. Smith intends, as soon as he can complete his arrangements, to remove to Nebraska, while the other member of the old firm, John C. Smith, is a member of the live firm of Aldrich & Smith, Richmou:]. E M. OWEN, the old and reliable deal­ er in Agricultural Implements, has ta­ ken possession of half a column in the PLAIXDEALER this week, in which to inform the farmers of McHenry county that he is prepared to furnish them with the best machinery to be found in the market, and at prices that will com­ pare favorably with any, quality of machinery considered. He is Agent for P. P. Mast & Co's celebrated Buck­ eye Agricultural Works, of Springfield, Ohio, which is acknowledged by all to be second to none in the quality of the machinery manufactured. Mr. Owen having disposed of his interest in the Mill will devote his entire attention to Farm Machinery duriug its season, and guarantees as good inducements to purchasers as any dealer in.the country. He sells none but first-class machinery and warrants it just as represented. Head Iiis advertitcrnont ii another col­ umn and call and examine his machin­ ery.

Ford is a number 1 artist, as the work he is now producing is ample proof. The American Sewing Machine is the best, in the Market, for the reason that it is the most simple in its con­ struction, consequently will run the easiest and last the longest.

The editor of the Waukegan Patriot, who was In McHenry last Aveek, atten­ ding the Old Settlers Meeting, pays some of'our citizens handsome compli­ ments, the PLAINDEALKR coming in for a liberal share. Here is what he says: --One hundred an fourteen couples attended the ball at the Parker House McHenry on the night of Washington's birthday. By the way Parker 8, Son are model landlords. --VanSlyke, of the McHenry Plain- deal er, has one of the neatest and clean­ est printing offices we were ever in. As cleanliness is ranked next to Godli­ ness, let all good people in McHenry comity appreciate Van as they ought to. --Tf yon drive to McHenry. meaning the "new town" as it is called, which is located all around the railroad depot be sure to call at Joe. Wiedemann's where yqu will And a bar supplied with the best of refreshments, warm and cold meals at all hours, an excellent bed, and good stabling for horses. Joe. is a right down good fellow, and liberal in his charges. Make a note of this, --At.McHenry last Wednesday we had the pleasure of listening to several tunes pluved by the Volo cornet band. These young gentlemen exhibit much skill, considering that thus far they have, taken only ten lessons. They went over to the Old Settlers' eommittee meeting, under the escort of that irre­ pressible enterprising individual, Dick Cotupton, who is always on hand when there is anything up of*a public nature. Old Settlers say, "Hurrah, for Dick, and the Yolo Cornet Band.*' They'll be on hand in Waukegan on the 7th of June next, sure as shooting. NUNDA. EDITOR PLAINDEALES:--In looking around for items we fiud but little of interest that is of a local character, ex­ cept the low murmurings of our tem­ perance people that are constantly be­ coming more distinct and emphatic as thr time approaches for the election of our City Fathers. Let us unfurl the temperance banner to the breeze and rally around its standard. Quite an enjoyable affair came off at ^Nunda Hall on Friday evening in the form of a Donation for the benefit of Elder Lovelace, who has broken the "Bread of L'ife" to that portion of the christian world known as Deciples, living in and around this place. We may truly say, the Elder has work with­ out money, and without price, in his "Masters Vineyard," manifesting a zeal for the good work that is truly com­ mendable. ' Two long tables were arranged in the Hall which was liter­ ally loaded with such rare delicacies as none but ladies deeply interested in the spiritual welfare of the human family, could devise. Some two hun­ dred persons were seated for refresh­ ments wh'le the spiritual man was made strong by vocaf and instrumental music. The occasion was one long to be remembered. Between forty and fitty dollars in greenbacks, besides oth­ er articles of? Legal Tender,M were left as a token of gratitude for the Elder's untiring labor. Meetiugsat tho M. E. Church are still continued with good success, and many of our business men have thought it necessary to repent of many of their short comings and join the church. We look for square dealiug after this. Elder Collins, of the Deeipie's Chnrch returned on Friday last and spoke to an attentive audience Saturday eve­ ning. Two immersions were made on Suriday in the crystal waters of the Lake and two more souls rejoice for sins washed away. Mrs. Frank Doran has gone to St. Paul hoping the bracing air of Minne­ sota will restore her once good health, May her hopes not be in vain. Mr. Josiali Walkup is slowly improv­ ing and we hope to see him in his old place again soon, passing out the tick­ ets. TYRO. For Colleetor. The undersigned- hereby announces himself *a candidate for the Office of Collector of the Town of Nunda, and respectfully asks the support of the people at the coming Town Meeting, if they have no other whom they think more worthy of their support. ROUT. J. SCTTOX. mm WOODSTOCK. EDITOR PLAIN"DEALERWell anoth­ er week has passed. Th'e weather though occasionally mooted has lost its power to hold the audience. The Bel­ knap rascality puts everything else in the shade. Democrats are jubilant and Republicans, while they are grieved that men honored by position and trus­ ted by the party, should bring such disgrace npon the Nation, lose all sight of party consideration and re­ joice that it has bceu detected and that another of the tares so long the nations and the parties bane has been weeded cut. A Mr. Vose was arrested tome time sgo on charge of insanity, and brought before Judge Smith. One trial was had and the jury did not agree. Last Friday the paities appeared again, but while the jury wa* being empaneled, Mr. Voee concluded his room was bet­ ter than his company, and when it was announced that all was ready and the court ordered the prisoner to be ar­ raigned he had fled and the jury had no trouble in agreeing that the little joker was aroupd. The New Era libel case was called before Esquire Church on Saturday last, when Mr. Ringland waived an ex amination and entered into recog­ nizance for his appearance at the next term of Court. Major Jefferson made a second at­ tempt to resign at the Council meeting :on Friday evening last, but the Council did not accept. It is well understood however, that he will no longer act. Lewellyn Sanders, while working with a buzz saw last Thursday, had his right hand cut in two across the middle, making an ugly and painful wound. Rumor has i,t that M. F. Ellworth, is in the field as a candidate for Prosecu­ ting Attorney, while Old "They Say," tells us that Van Curen is to take Macks place in the Court House and Mack, wants to move oue door North so that he may go out of the court house in the regular way. How easy it Is to fix the Slate, but then--- The Republican Central Committee had a meeting here on Saturday last, but what was done has not come to light. Is it a dark lantern Institution? By the appearance of numerous smiling countenances of Pedagogues on our streets, Country schools must have closed to some extent at least, and if appearances are not deceitful, most of the teachers are conscious of having done a good winter's work and are en­ joying the rest from their labors hugely. t L, P. SQUARE. A SOUND ARTICLE;. EDITOR PLAIXDEALER:--In a„ recent number of the PLAIXDEALER, I noticed an article "The duty of a Publisher," that seems to be lost sight of altogether, by a large majority of those that occu­ py that honorable and exalted position. The Newspapers of the present time have become the great educators of the American People. Books are laid aside, and even religious services are yielding to the potent influences of the News­ paper. The Press has become an al­ most smnipotent power in our Jiand; and when we look around and see how many there are, that seem to forget their noble calling, and debase them­ selves by yielding Principles to Party intrigues, and Party success, we can but feel that the great pillar of the Ameri­ can Independence is indeed giving away to the ravages of time. It is facts that the people want and when a Publisherwitholds them and substitutes aught in place he is inflicting a wrong upon the people. Most likely some interests will conflict with such a course but the conflict will be short and truth sustaiued. The position is so exalted that many aspir© to its honors that do not possess any of the qualifications to fit them for the pla.ee, for true it is that the Newspaper reflects the qualifi cations of the Publisher. > j.TL BBCKLET. Naada, March 1st, 1376. Richmond Department. D. A. POTTER, EDITOR. GREENWOOD ' EDITOR PLAIN UKALKR:--Notwith­ standing the many and varied changes constantly passing and repassing before us, yet cach succeeding day and year, brings to our astonished and toewlidred physical, mental, and moral, vision, something new. Some new excitement, Religiously, Politically, Nationally, and Internationally. Public Steals; Corporate, Company, and Individual Swindles are rife in every form. Taxes are high, wages correspondingly so. prices of produce low, crime of every form, disease of every imaginable dls- criptfon to which the flesh of man Is heir, are prevalent throughout the kland, and death certain. Still mankind are not contented and happy. The Nasal protubrance upon our countenance (though accused of being somewhat lengthy at times by some) did not deceive us last week as we first supposed. It was wedding cake, and no mistake, as we have since had the palatial evidence to confirm. On Thursday evening March 3d, at the residence ©f the Bride's Mother Mrs. B. Wire, by the Rev. B.

With plenty of rain arid witfhli AtMril weather, six months aheadi^of time, we have a large and deep supply of mud, and with roads nearly Impassable every kind of business Is exceedingly quiet in Richmond at this writing. The past week has afforded tie about the first sleighing of the season, if that could be called sleighing, but as It was of short duration we will say nothing of the gay times the young ladies and gents would have had If there had been any sleighing without the "slaying." A. E. Baldwin,Principal of the Genoa Junction, Wis.,Public School, with his assistant and most of their scholars visited the Richmond Public School on Friday last. The day was spent'very pleasantly. So say they all. Mr. Young says "come again Mr. Baldwin." The Richmond School intend to return the visit soon. The news of the disgrace fid steal participated in by General Belknap and his wife, Marsh & Co., in the Pott trader outrage, is looked upon here with disgust, and all loyal citizens feel mortified and horrified that a man in whom the whole country had confi­ dence,'a cabinet officer, should in any way be connected withi such an out­ rageous act. We are heartly glad that our Chief Executive, President Grant has instructed that prosecutions be in­ stituted against all parties concerned, carrying out the principle "let no guil­ ty person escape." Let bribing, steal­ ing and dishonesty of every discription among our officials, whether Federal, State, County or^Town, let the guilty step out and put an honest capable one In their place. That Is our prescrip­ tion, And at the political conventions, lu all the nominations, put no man in nomination for any office unless heVlias an unblemished character, honest and capable, a true tried Union man, and of stern fixed principle, TXACHKRS' MEETING. Ai Genoa Junction, Wis., Saturday Feb. 261A, 1870. At 10:30 A. M. the meeting w:t called to order by Mr. A. E. Baldwin, who stated the object of the meeting and asked that all might teel them­ selves at liberty to take part in any­ thing coming before the meeting, as it was a meeting for mutual benefit. Then were favored with Instrumen­ tal music by Miss Grace Freeman. Proceeded to elect our officers. Elected the following; A. W.'Cumins, President; D. W. Soper,"Secretary and Mrs. L, Becker, Critic. We then lis­ tened to a Song by Miss Brooks. An exercise in spelling was then con­ ducted by A, E. Baldwin, followed by a discussion as to" the best manner of conducting classes in spelling. An euleresting exercise then, from Mr. Cumins in regard to the surveying of the Western States, with connection lines etc., clearing up a number of points left from our Text Boclu or Geography. Mr. J. A. Baldwin then read a very interesting essay on the subject of "Heat." A few moments were then spent in discussing tUfi modes of hearing recita­ tions. The meeting then adjourned for din­ ner. Called to order at 1 £0 P. M. Music by Miss Ella Mansfield. Arithmetic methods of teaching, both mental and written, was then spoken of by Mr. S. D. Baldwin, We have hot space here to follow this or the other exercises minutely; all w^ can say is that we were all benefitted by his remarks and the discussion which followed. A very interesting reading exercise was then conducted by Miss F. Wil­ liams, showing her method of instruet- ind in that branch. Mr. Nickle was then called on and read an essay on "History and how it should be Taught" Which was fully ap­ preciated. It contained many valua­ ble faots which all teachers should ever bear in mind when teaching the study. Music by >Iiss Ella Mansfield. Then a few remarks from Mr. XX W, Soper on the general manner of con­ ducting school exercises lu Grammar, which started quite a discussion. Then the Query Box was opened by Mr. Crawford, which contaiued a num­ ber of interesting q»*eries, followed by the critics report, A hearty vote of thanks was then tendered to the people of the place for their hospitality, after which the meeting was declared adjourned.

We are not in the habit of running down Organs sold by other Agents, being satisfied to let our instrument speak for itself, but we are sorry to say there Is one Agent in this county who has no compuuction In that. way. He ha6. we are told, on every opportu­ nity, run down the instrument we aro- selling, not because he knirtoe anything against it never, we believe having seen it. but in order , to make people believe he is selling the only good in#- strumeut offered in the county.
