M. GEO. CHAPPEL, of the firm of Chappel & Furgeson, Algonquin, spent Saturday and Sunday in this village. J. B. PERRY Esq., has caught the •pirit of improvement and now a hand­ some new fence can be seen In front of his residence. WE understand that J. J. Gillis ha# sold out his business at Johnsburgh and intends starting a Saloon at Ring- wood. DR. JAMES MORRISON, of Hyde Park, Cook (bounty, made us a" pleasant call on Monday morning. He fs stopping for a few days at his father-in-laws, Samuel Stocker, in this village. THE boys are now having gay times fishing, the banks of the river being lined with them morning and night, or whenever school hours do not in­ terfere. We saw several very hand some strings of fish on Saturday. F. K. GRANGER shipped on Monday last one of the finest car load of hogs of the season. They were fifty in num­ ber and averaged full 300 pounds each, for which he paid from 7.J to 8 cents per pound. H. MAIMAN, Merchant Tailor, of Wauconda,has a new advertisement this week. Mr. Maiman is a first claes workmen, and keeps a stock of goods second to none. Those in want of .Clothing will do wen to give him a call before purchasing. As will be seen by an advertisement in another column, F.G.Mayes, the old and popular Merchant Tailor, will, on account of poor health, close out his entire stock of goods at Cost for cash. Bead his advertisement, and call in and learn what bargains are offered. JOSEPH WIEDEMANN is having aWell dug in front of his Restaurant where a nice watering place for horses will be made for the accommodation of far­ mers and others This ts a good im­ provement and one long needed in that part of town. H. C. MEAD, who was injured by * the kick of a horse a short time since, was in town on Monday, and reports his broken ribs mending rapidly. He had two ribs broken instead of three, as we reported at the time, and says that is about as many as he could stand at one time. * FOURTH OF JULY. r Owing to the meeting of the Board And other gatherings on Saturday Eve­ ning last,' the meeting to make arrange^ ments for celebrating the coming 4th 6f July was postponed iintil Thursday evening of this week, when it is hoped there will be a general turnout. It is high time that arrangements were made if we are to celebrate, and we Jjope to see a full house at the meeting on Thursday evening. .. D. S. SMITH4 late of the FIIRTFT ttflfcnith Bros. & <?o., started on Thursday last for Burton's Bend, Nebraska, on a visit to the stock farm of his son, and where he intends to go into the stock raising business himself during the present season, Mr. Smith will return in about eight weeks, and during the Wool sea­ son will be on hand ready to pay the highest market price for Wool. His long experience in this business en­ ables him to do better by farmers than any other man in the market. BucKtiN & STEVENS, whose Storv can be found near the Depot, are gain­ ing in popularity every day, their live, go ahead style, together with their ex­ tensive stock and low prices making hosts of friends among the buying pub­ lic. Their store is always crammed full of seasonable goods, and just at this time their stock of Spring and Summer goods cannot be surpassed. Read their" advertisement in another column, and do not fail to call and 'examine goods aud learn prices when in want of any­ thing in their line. THE firm of Smith & Snyder, near the Depot, are doing an extensive busi­ ness, and one not surpassed by any firm in their line in the county. In five days last week they bought and shipped 10,000 bushels of Oats, $1,500 worth of Flax Seed, besides selling and deliver­ ing On an average $200 worth, of lumber per day. Together with all this they buy anything in the Produce line, and pay the highest market price in cash. They are a live, go-ahead firm, antf when they take hold of anything it is sure evidence that it will be pushed. In the Lumber business alone we be­ lieve they are doing more than any three firms in the eounty. THE Barn being built by Messrs. Parker & Son, of the Parker House, is fast approaching completion, aud will, we think, when finished, be the best barn for Hotel purposes to be found in the cOunty. As soon as fully completed we will give a full desdHptidn of its Interior. OUR Milliners, Mrs Searles and Mrs. Morey, are renovating their establish­ ments preparatory for the Spring and Summer trade. Our lady readers can find at either of these establishments all that they desire in the line of Mil- lineiy goods, as their stocks are equal to any outside of the city. WM. KENAELLY, who resides South of this village, built a large raft on the Btaer, just below the bridge, last week, and rafted down lumber enough to build him a large barn. Owing to the condition of the rOads this was consid­ ered ithe .cheapest and easiest way of getting it down to his place. THE Party for the Ijen^it of the Base Ball Cteb, on Fricfay evening last, was a very pleasant affair, although the attendance vasalim, and consequently It did not prove-a very great "benefit" to the bo,y$. Those who did attend seemed to enjoy themselves to the fulleet extent, and everything passed ofi in the most pteae&ut manner. TICKETS have been issued for a grand Calico Party, to take place at National Hall, Woodstock, on Friday evening of next week, May 5th* Fitzgerald's full Band, of Chicago, have beeja engaged &> furnish the music, and w<e<ean assure the daudug public that no better music 6an bis found in the State. Should the weather prove good we predict they will have a good crowd and pleasant time,. THE ground* at jthe Publie School tkave lately been graded and leveled, *ud a new and substantial fence built, «rl4ch is a great improvement, and one <Dr which the Directors will receive the thanks of the District. Too much Attention cannot be given to beautify- *»g the grounds around our Publie School, and as this is the Centennial year we would suggest that our citizens get together and set out some shade trees iu and around the grounds. The «ost would only be a matter of time, While the benefit arising thejvfrom Would be untold. JJEV. FATHER WELBY, Pastor of the Catholic Church in this village, has been changed by the Bishop to Peoria, much to the regret of his congregation and frvends in this section, and left for his new field of labor on Tuesday mor­ ning. Durirg his residence bere Father Welby has made many warm friends outside of his congregation, who honored and respected him for his sterling good qualities of both head and heart. A strong petition was pre­ sented to the Bishop by his congrega­ tion requesting that he be allowed to remain, but it was of no avail. In his removal the Catholic Society have lost-a worthy Pastor and Mcllenry a good citizen, all of which is Peoria's gaui. The "Centennial Tea Pot" is the last new thing out, and John M. Smith is making them iu large numbers. The Pattern is very handsome and appro­ priate. On one side is stamped the picture of Washington, surrounded by stars, and underneath the figures 1776. On the opposite side is the Goddess of Liberty also surrounded by Stars and the figures 1876, while perched upon the cover is the American Eagle It Is one of the handsomest desigus for a Tea Pot we ever saw, aud no one who has a spark of patriotism will be wi thout one. but will call on John M. and secure* one at once. The one which we found down at our house makes Centennial Tea and no mistake. All you have to do is to sing the "Star Spangled Ban­ ner" and your tea will be ready iu no time. SOME time since a hen belonging to one of our subcribers, (we don't just now remember who) perpetrated a big egg. II. T. Dolbeer owns some ambi­ tious hens that resolved to beat this or bust, and they invented some pretty large specimens, one of which measur­ ed 8Jx6 inches. Joseph Draper, of this village communicated this intelligence to his principal business hen, the one he bets on in trying times--his emer­ gency female chicken. That excellent fowl at once proceeded to business, and she squalled a solemn squall that "she'd lay over them air persutnshus hens or her name wasn't Elizabeth White Brahma. She retired to her nest and in fourteen minutes came forth and cack- eled. She cackled loud and victoriously. Joe knew--by them cacks--that Jiis hen had done her duty. He examined the nest and found an egg eight and a quarter inches one way by six and a half the other: But the old hen was not satisfied with that for every day for the next five days she produced an egg almost equal to the first Joe gave us the whole lot, and we are now look­ ing arouud for a smoke house that is unlocked, and then we think we can live for a short time. NOTICE. All the Notes and accounts of the late firm of Smith Bros &Co., atfe"now in the hands of John M. Smith Esq., for collection. All persons knowing themselves to be indebted to said firm will do wfeU to call and settle the same without delay. D. S.

Among the improvements inaugura ted 6ince our last we notice the follow­ ing: John Shoen has leased a lot West of the Parker House, and will immediate­ ly erect thereon a building 30x36 to be used as a store.and Cabinet Shop. Messrs Walker A Curtis* are to put up a Vinegar Works in connection wi*,h the Pickle Factory which is to be two Stories high with a large basement. The Vinegar Works are to be run by a practical man from Evanston, and run in connection with the Factory. The Basement is to be used as a store room for Canned Goods, the manufacture of which the company are intending to go into quite extensively. Smith & Snyder are putting up a building 30x60 near their' lumber ^ard, whicli is to be used in connection with their large and increasing business. L. Francisco contemplates building an addition to liis shop for the storage of Agricultural i^ools &e. E. M. Owen wilt1* immediately com­ mence the erection of his Agricultural Warehouse opposite the Mill, which is to be 30x50 and two stories high. Let the good work go on. We shall from time to.time report progress on these improvements, and hope to chroa icle many more before tlie season is out. BABRKTILLB.

Ho­ ping our acquaintance may prove mu­ tually beneficial we remain yours very truly. KELLEK & HUBBARD. Barreville 111. • EDITOR PLAINDEALER:^--We have the foundation hire for one of the pleasantest towns in the State, if the people living in it would only wOtk to­ gether. Instead of doing so, however, they pull each other by the ears con­ stantly. For example we will take our Village election. Our friends on the West side had their slate fixed, came over to the caucus and had it all their own way, and went home happy. Well we would not stand that kind of treat­ ment, so we got together, put a ticket in the field and elected every man. That's where the laugh came in. It made me feel good ail over. It broke out in the middle of my face and I made some noise. Then one little whitiit said I was drunk. Now I have lived in McHenry for fifteen years and ^have not drank a jlrop of whiskv. Mr. Editor I think a man can feel good all over, and explode, and kick out be­ hind, and rair up before, and do a great many things and be sober all the while. I knew a good old lady down in Penn­ sylvania, who said on starting to meet ing that she thought she had nothing to Say but it was in her and it had got to come out, I suppose if this thing I spoke of had been there he would have said she was drunk. F. A. HEBARD. i ' ' " 11 j NUNDA. I EDITOR PI.AINDEALKR:--The warm ^nd spri ng like weather that has been 4*et£d out to us for the last few day* las inspired confidence in most all as is Shown by the general clearing up of fewns, yards and gardens and by tb# many bon-flres made of the accumula­ ted rubbish, Trees are being set out, gardens planted, while many of the "gentle sex" may be seen with hoe and spade in hand and an "eye to the busi­ ness" of adorning front yards and gap- dens with shrubbery and flowers. The farmers are very busy with their plow and harrow, so much so that few have been seen on our streets except when some repairs are necessaay on their farming Implements and here let me say to the farmers that Mr. J.'P. Beardsley can supply them with the best of plows, plauters, seeders, and in fact everything thev need at prices to suit the times. We have noticed sev­ eral choice looking plows taken from his tvareroom while the counteuance of the purchaser gave unmistakable signs that the prices suited them as well as the plow. We noticed in the Sentinel that we are accused of casting a sluf upon Christianity by the comments we made in regard to breaking ponies and fish­ ing parties seen here upon the Sabbath day. Now we do most emphatically deny the charge unless if such actions are the indicators of a pure christiauity we uiust say our modern christians have taken a ,lnew departure" from that taught iu our catechism. But the ponies have been subdued and recon­ structed and I presume are sorry for their obstinate behavior as before al­ luded too. Your correspondent has decided to place the name of Elihu B. Washburn at the head of our column for Gover­ nor of Illinois. In Mr. Washburn we find a character uncontaminated bF the many misdemeanors that have been brought against most of our public men. His moral character is above re­ proach, his honesty unquestioned and his ability and experience fit. him for the honorable position. The election of Trustees of our cor­ poration was atteuded with much in­ terest, as the License party were confi­ dent of their', strength and of course were out in force to work for the great good of our town while the Temper­ ance people were equally anxious to elect a Temperance ticket^ Quite a number of Ladies were present at the polls and lent their quiet and peaceful influence in favor of the cause of Tem­ perance. The influence brought to bear was such that it became necessary for the success of the License ticket to get these ladies out of the way, hence one of our town officials (who also has kept a saloon in this place) became con­ vinced that the room should be cleared and tHe ballots passed in at a window which was immediately ordered to be done but the ladies failed to take the hint that they were not voters, aud were not wanted there, and so found standing room outside. The result was a large majority for the Temper­ ance ticket.- We also learn that Crys­ tal Lake will not grant liceuse in that corporation for which we say amen. The Auction Sale of Micham & Ells­ worth was very poorly attended on Saturday last owing to the great hurry that farmers are in at the present time. Some few sales were made but most of the property was held until the next sale day. An Exhibition, under the aupices of the Good Templars, will be held at the Congregational Church, Algonquin, on Thursday evening. May 11th. The en­ tertainment will be interspersed with music, singing, declaiming, and will close with the beautiful Dramaentitled "Among the Breakers." It is to be hoped that some of our citizens will make it a point to attend. Services were held Iu Nunda Hall on Saturday and Sunday by the Deciples. Elder Lovelace and Elder Collins offi­ ciating, and one new convert was made who of course must be initiated by im­ mersion in order to fill the bill. It would be far preferable to me was I to join a church to wait until the water was warmer than at present when duty aud pleasure might be combined. TYBO. FOR SALE OR RENT.
