THE arrangements for a celebration In this village ou the coming Fourth of July, are progressing favorably, and we are looking forward to one of the biggest times ever held in this sec­ tion. When making your arrange­ ments to celebrate do not overlook the advantages of coming to McHenry- The programme in full will be publish­ ed in a few days. ' THE Steamer '"Athlete" is now in Dry Dock, and going through a gener­ al overhauling, and wb«n r?ady to launch again it is axpected will be better than when first built.

As Mr. Begun has now fairly started out on the tem­ pestuous sea of journalism, we extend to him the right band of fellowship, with our best wishes for, his success, and that hungry "devils'1 may never cry "copy" in vain is the wish of one who "knows how it is himself." C. C. DUKLAXD left at this office on Monday a specimen of copper found on Ills farm in the town of Nunda. It weighs nearly a quarter of a pound and !« very pure, lie informs us thai quite a number of specimens have been pick­ ed up in that vicinity, and that there is no doubt but that it could be found there in paying quantities. It certainly should he investigated, as a copper mine that would yield anything near like the specimen we have in our po­ ssession would be of untold value. WE have received a new advertise­ ment for E. 31. Owep, dealer in Agri­ cultural Implements, but too late for this week. It will appear in our next.

THE building fever seems to be con­ tagious/and bids fair to rage in Me- Henry during the entire season. Be­ sides those already noticed i# these columns we learn that P. W.

BonsJetwill build an addition on the Soutuof his building J. B Perry, Esq, is building an addi­ tion to his residence. And besides this, we learn that two Chicago parties are nogotiatingfor lots on which to build two fine residences* Thus it will be seen, that the future of McHenry never looked brighter. People of means are just begining to learn the advantages of our beautiful location, while busi­ ness- men looking for a'location are fast learning that we are located in the midst of a rich and prosperous farming community, and in no town of its size in the Northwest is the outlook for trade better. It can now truly be said that McIIeury is awaking from her Rip Van Winkle sleep, and the sound of the saw and the hamper is heard on every hand.- 4$o inote it be. WE last week spoke of the finding of skeletons on the farm of Marvel Pierce, in the towu of Burton, and promised a fuller descript ion this week. We un­ derstand that Mr. Pierce is one of the first settlers in that section, and these mounds spoken of were there when he came, and the old Chief Shabbona, who with his tribe once inhabited the Fox River Valley, told Mr. Pierce some years ago that these saine mounds were made there long before the time ot his tribe, and that he knew nothing of their history. One day a few weeks since Mr. Pierce opened one of these mounds and found about a foot below the service of the level ground four skeletons, evidently the remains of two men, a woman and a child. They were buried in a sitting position, about threefeet apart, in a circle and their backs toward the center of the mound, Mng out. The pieces we saw were evidently t^e jjarts of a very large man. The thi^h bone was flill 18$ inches long,and the head of mammoth proportion. That these mounds con­ tain the remains of a tribe who inhab­ ited this section long ages back there is no (Joubt, and whose history, were it known, would be highly interesting. Mr. Pierce intends soon to open the balance of the mounds, and we will then tell our rwulers what is found therein. Some Historical Society might here find food for thought for some time to come. HLOOOEO STOCK. We made a short visit to the farm of N.S.Colby,one day last week, and took a look at some of hia fancy stock, con­ sisting principally of Spanish Merino Sheep and blooded horees* llis flock of sheep we think are equal to any in the West, We saw one Buck, one year old, that was enough to make a sheep fan­ cier go wild. Ilis wool was full five inches long and had grown from the tip of the nose to hoof, leaving no bear place, «;nu being of the finest quality. The grand father of this j'ormg Buck was sold tor $10,000, and we imagine it would take a round sum to purchase him. Mr. Colby informed us that his flock would shear an average of 10 or 17 pounds to the fleece* His flock consists of 108 ?heep and about 50 lambs. We next saw his five year old half Norman Colt. He is a beautiful iron grey, large and muscular, and a fine stepper. For a draught horse he has no superior, being strong, quick, and relia­ ble in any plftoe. Partners who are raising horses for their own use should hot pasa sneli horses as this by, for while scrubs ma}' be cheaper to begin with, in the encl they will be the loser. We next, saw what Mr. Colby calls his pet. Young Green Mountain Mor­ gan, and indeed he is a pet, and we be­ lieve we do not exagerate when we say he is the best bred Morgan colt in America. He is four years old, stands abont 15 hands high, and is a model in form and action. His color is a bright dapple bay. ha^ a beautiful head, large intelligent eye, and in fact is the most perfect horse in every particular we ever saw. No discription that we can give of this colt can do him justice. He is siniply a model of beauty and perfection, anil no lover of a fine horse should fail to see him. In the next stable we saw the old Morril Morgan, who is now 25 years old, has not a blemish of any kind, and is as high spirited and coltish as a four year old, which is the best evidence of the lasting qualities ot the Morgan' Stock. The old horse still looks as though he was good for 25 years more, and the horse that follows him on the road to­ day must be a good one. Lovers of fine stock should make it a point, when in this section, to call at Mr. Colby's, as it will well repay them for a few hours time. FOURTH OF JULY. ' An adjoutticd'meeting to make ar­ rangements for celebrating the coming Fourth of July was held at the Univer­ salist Church on Thursday evening last) M. Kelter in the dhatr. * I The Finance Committee appointed at a sub*equent meeting reported that they had made but a partial canvass, but had already subscribed something over §90 and thought they would have no trouble in raising the amount de­ sired.

Oweu's Harness Shop one day last week, a person, (whose name we do not now remember) com­ ing in and tryiug to make Mr. Madden, a man who lias worked over 20 years at the business, believe he did not know Deer's Hair from Moss. So positive was he that he knew what he was talk­ ing about that he offered to make a bet of $5 that the article shown was not Deer's Hair, or in fact hair at all. He was promptly accommodated, and the matter was left to H. S. Gregory to de­ cide, and of c6urse he lost. The lesson was a dear oner but we doubt not will be remembered. The question was brought up in relation to a^Collar ^ad sold to liiin by Mr. Madden, jn which he claimed he hat! been deceived. Mr. Madden is one of the n^ost conscientious men in .the couutv, and would sooner • * * lose his right arm than deceive a cus­ tomer. WOODSTOCK. EDITOR"' PLAINI>EAI,KR:--After a week of silcnce I again put in appear­ ance, aud ask for a place in your col­ umns. There are two valid reasons why you may not always rely upon re­ ceiving your regular Woodstock corres­ pondence. Tho first is not being a professional I cannot write what is worthy a place in your paper, read as it is by thousands competent to criti­ cise aud judge your publications, unless the events furnish suitable topics. The second reason is the events are not wanting, but the mere novice at cor­ responding fails to find suitable lan­ guage to express what he desires to communicate, Neither did last week or the week before fail to furnish topics. On Friday April 28th, our city was thrown into commotion on account of the episode at the Post Office which has been so Widely published. Indeed it was a startling piece of news that burst, like a thunder clap ffOtn a clear sky, upon the ears of the unexpectant community. Such implicit faith had our Post Master in the honesty of the young man, that even he was loth* to believe, that so foolish a breach of, faith, aud yet so daring a crime had been committed, and traced to his con­ fidential and trusted clerk. In my attempt to interview the Post Master, 1 learned that after making dilligent search lor the proper vouchers, without success, and afterall apparently needed correspondence in search of the missiug package, he notified Special Agent U. li. Hawley of Chicago that his'services were needed at once as there was somthing crooked that could be traced to this young man but no fkrther. Mr. Hawley came and the result is ki^own. It is a sad affair. Sad for the commu­ nity, sad for the country, sad for the young man's relatives, but saddest of all for the young man himself. With his intelligence, his easy address, his pleas­ ing manners, his business ability, the places are few-to which he might not have aspired with reasonable hopes of success. Yesterday such was the pros­ pects before him. To day what is itP Vanished, gone. Like the meteorthat darts athwart the sky, a momentary glitter, a momentary dazzle, In a mo­ ment and where has it fled. Would that oblivion might shroud the entire category of such scenes in everlasting darkness, without a place in the memo­ ry of man. The young tree that is cut down will sprout again, but the young man with blasted reputation seldom outgrows the scandal. Seldom is the pungent bitterness of such fruit eradi­ cated. Following this arrest #as the second, as I am informed, for complici­ ty. The picture thereof is no less sad than the other. In fact it is sadness magnified since it involves the happi­ ness of a young wife and child. Would that the load of guilt might be lifted from their shoulders. Bat grief like tills cannot be divided. Friends may and will sympathise but the burden rests where first it fell and patient en­ durance is the only autidotc. Turn we from sympathising thoughts in search for the cause of these oft recuring crimes, depredations upon the peace and happiness of society. We find it iu part in universal greedy desire for gain, constant longing to be quickly rich, to get something for nothing, which is enticing the unwary youth into the yawning chasm, the gamblers den, ruin certain ruin ineviatable to ninety and nine of every hundred who yield to the wiley charmer. Will not Our yqung men of Woodstock, yes of oar country ever learn wisdom fi-om these sad lgpsotis, and resolve that their meat driuk and clothing, shall be purchased with money honestly earned, that their living shall be within their income, that it shall be their boast whatever they have is theirs honestly, fairly, earned. lie is rich indeed who cau truly so declare. Another and widely different cause of regret, is the failure of E. E. Thom­ as & Son of which one would scarcely be aware were it not for the expressions of universal sympathy. ^ County Convention passed off har­ moniously, aud as you were there and know how it is yourself,you can tell itv to the people. Our new Board in their action upon the license question has been the cause of some criticism and iuquii ie« amoug which are the folldwing. Why Is li­ cense granted to six and only six. Why is one of our own residents re.- fused a liceuse, and a resident of the state of Wisconsin allowed to come and receive such special favors? Why was license refused to Markus, who strictly obeyed the anti-license ordi­ nance of last year, and grauted to others who were more than once in­ dicted for the violation thereof? Why did the honorable mayor refuse to or­ der a vote upon a motion fairly and regularly made and seconded aud strict­ ly in order? If the mayors theory is true that it is perfectly legitimate to sell "lighter drinks" instead "of pore fire water" that is water which is free to all instead of what one calls for, why not grant license to all and water more freely? Would it not be more in keep­ ing with the spirit of the mayors mes- sage ? Our Circuit Court will be in session this week bnt at this busy season of the year itis probable that every case ^hat can, will be passed. E. T. Iloptkins is in town to answer a charge for embezzlement of pickle funds. L. P. SQCARE. Richmond Department. I>. A.

Lawyers and those fond of litigation, besides many houest men that are roped by litigants, are called there, so business is quiet. The suit between Hall and Clothier will undoubtedly come off this term of court if parties come to time. If not the probabilities are that Judge Mur­ phy will not hold court long in order to save the county unnecessary expense. Sir. John Reid has purchased the Smallwood lot just south of Smith, Aldrich & Hay thorn's store, common­ ly called the "burnt district" and is contemplating erecting a business block and public hall, the latter of which has long been needed iu our vil­ lage. To-day the last sad office of respect of the living to the dead was paid the late Stephen P. Potter who died Sun­ day May 7th, at 11 o'clock A. M., and was buried to-day with Masonic honors.
