' WE afc obliged to send seine of our subscribers a halt sheet this week for the reason that we received a list of fifty new subscribers on Saturday eve­ ning, after one side of our paper had beeo printed. Since our last we have added sixty-one u'ew names to our sub­ scription list, fifty of them being from one town.

McHenry at the CentenfUaL PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11, 1876. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Having a moments time this evening I thought I would give you a little account of our trip from McHenry to'this city. Our party, consisting of my wife, Miss Ada^ Small, Clara B. Owen and myself, loft Chicago Saturday morning, Oct, 7th, in sleeping car on Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. We saw nothing of interest through the country which this road passes this day. At 6 Sunday morning He crossed the Ohio. Tho conductor woke us that we might see the bridge and it was really worth seeing. From this point the scenery begins to be in­ teresting. At Grafton we left the sleeping coach and took the Palace car and commenced to ascend the moun­ tain. aud the scenery all the way to tho top, which is 2,700 feet abovn the level; of the sea, is simply grand. One has to see it to get any kind of a satisfac­ tory idea of its beaut}'. On the top of the Mountain is Deer Park, and a beau­ tiful place it is'too. The train halts a moment to gjve the passengers a chance to get a slight glimpse of it, but one should lay over here one day impossible bur our time would not allow us to do so. We arrived at Washington at 4:20, over an hour ahead of time. On Mon­ day we visited the White House, shook hands with President Grant, visited Corcoran's Art Gallery, and saw some splendid Oil Paintings and some flue Statuary, took carriage to the Capitol by way of Post Office, and went through the building and to the top of the dome, which is 308 feet high, which gave us a fine view of the city. From the Capitol we visited the Potomac Garden and the Smithsonian Institute. That used up the day. Tuesday roArn. ing at 8 we took a Palace car for /the city of Philadelphia where we arrived about 2 p. M„ aud found the rooms that VHS had engaged ready for us and very sftisfactory they are. We propose to rest this afternoon and in the morning go to the Great Exposition. Yours Truly, o. W. OWE*. Paper Wedding. E DITOR PLAINDEALER Another event of the past week which We wish to not ice is the Paper Wedding of our you.ng friends, Mr. and Mrs Charles Jordon on Saturday evening last. It was, we believe, a surprise gotten up by some 30 or 40 of their old friends aud commend us to surprises if they always bring as pleasant a visit as was had upon f hat occasion, and looking over the presents gave us a higher opinion of paper than ever. We be­ lieve hereafter we shall ever have some respect for the newspaper. Coffee with refreshments in a style and of a quality provided by the Ladies ot McHenry which is to say "not to be ex­ celled" was served in time not to eni* croaoh upon the Sabbath morning hours, ivhuit the Company dispersed,- wishing the Young Couple a loug hap­ py mavried life even unto the diamond wedding.

J0~The latest reports of the elect­ ions in Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia are, that the Democrats have elected a Governor in Indiana by a majority of from 3.000 to 5,000, and they have also carried West Virginia by about 12.000 majority. In Ohio the Republicans have about everything. They have gained five Congressmen in the Stato, and elected State officers by majorities of from 9,000 to 10,000. In Indiana tho Republicans have elected ten out of thirteen Congressmen, and have a majority of three on joint ballot in the Legislature. The Senate isatie. 0*»'ing to the fact tha£ two-thirds of the Senators holding over are Demo, crats. It seems as if the Be ..ocrats threw everything aside „ to «lect Williams, Governor. GEN. S. A.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER Want of time and scarcity of news must be my excuse for a short letter this week. The Celebrated Yankee Bakery, In Phoenix Block, was closed a day or two since by due process of law. Officer Van Curen now holds the keys,-- uWind" in this ease; as in many other, did not win. The Ring leaders might profit by this lesson. Alvni Judd has sold hU Feed Store to Mr Foreman. Hoyt sold his Bakery to Frank Smith. Wm. E. Smith and family started for Colorado on Saturday last, where thoy intend making their future homo. Mr. Smith was induced to make this move on account of his health. Judge Murphy and wife started for the Centennial on Saturday. E. A. Murphy, of the firm of E. A. Murphy & Co.,is expeeted home from the East on Tuesday' when the buying public may look out for thej biggest stock of ^oods ever brought to this market. ' John F. Farnsworth is announced to speak at the Court House 011 Wednes­ day evening. Wonder if Jie will be troubled with the *'head acAe," as on a, •Drmer occasion. We understand that a man came near losing his life in the town of Hart- land on Sunday last, in the most fool­ hardy manner. He with several others, was near the railroad track when a wild freight train was coming along, and, made a bet that he could cross the track in front of the train. He made the trial but failed, being caught on the cow catcher and carried some distance, and then thrown into the ditch, badly bruised. It was a miracle that he was not instantly killed. To say that he was picked up a wiser man we do not believe, for a man who' has no more sense than to commit such an act, has not brains enough to learn anything by experience. The street running from the South end of Madison Street East, and com- ing»<uton the Ridge field road near the Mr. Phelps; was opened last week. This was opened to avoid the street running paralell with the Railroad, .where so many teauis get frightened by the cars. SQUEERS.

Cotting's* The recent cold spell has made over­ coats aud underwear requisite. Our Merchants have, governed themselves accordingly and the prices are so low none need go cold. Mr. J.

It is an unusual good number, even fior this first class lady's book. The princi­ pal Steel Plate,"Innocence," is from an original picture by that vvoHd-fanious artist, Sir Joshua Reynolds. A promi­ nent feature of this Magazine is its copyright Novelettes, two of which ap­ pear in this number, "Miss Crespigny's Absurd Flirtation," by Fanny Hodgson Burnett, and "The Days of Seventy- Six." by Mrs. Ann S. Steveijs, both very far superior to the cpntinued stories to be found in magazines generally. But as a coteinporary says, the stories, the fashions, the patterns, in short, any­ thing in "Peterson*'is the best of its kind. The price of this Magazine, too, is another thing in its favor. It is but Two Dollar a Year. The Prospectus for 1877 is published with this number, and we find that the prices to clubs are astonishingly low,viz.: three copies for $4,80, with a superb engraving (27 inches by 20), "Surrender of Cornwall is," to the person getting up the club; or six copies for 89,60, and a copy of the Mag­ azine for 1877 as a premium to the per­ son getting up the club; or seven copies for $11 00; and both an extra copy and the premium engraving to the person getting tip the club. For large clubs the prices are even lower. A choice of eleven splendid premium engravings for framing, is given for fifty cents extra, to subscribers for "Peterson" for 1877. Specimens of the Magazine are sent gratis, if writen for. Subscribe to nothing else until you have seen a copy of this popular Magazine. Address Charles J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, Pa. IM^A -correspondence of tho Aurora Herald writing of his experience among the Monomenee Indians, about Green Bay, says: "A son of Jefi Davis, of southern notority, lives there in tho woods with his Indian mother. He is a man about thirty years of age, quite respectable looking, wears heavy whis­ kers, very unlike the Indian, and bis Aamc is Jeflfer*ou Davis, Messrs. Alexander & Hyde are making some repairs on their Block, which when completed will add much to the convenience and appearance of their building. , J. Howard Vinton and Lady returned home Saturday eve last, from the Cen­ tennial, looking and feeling well and report as having had a very pleasant and enjoyable time. J. Niles Burton made his friends in Richmond a short call on Sunday last. Couldn't stay long. Attraction out country a short distance I suspect. Well, come again Niles, when you can stay longer. Hon. S. A. Hurlbut will address the citizens ofRichmond and vicinity on Wednesday evening Oct. 18th, Do not fail to come out and hear the General and get his views of the political situa­ tion, and then judge for yourselves. We deem comments unnecessary, a« we cbnsider this an enlightened and intelligent community, aud give the people crcdit for knowing and the privilege of taking their choice with­ out dictation and if they should differ from us and Mr. Hurlbut should not get quite all the votes at the coming election, we shall take no exceptions. ltlGHT SELF-ESTEKM. Nothing hurts a man more than to seem small and ignoble in his owu eyes. It is the slavish feeling that degrades the slave. A base ambition makes the man that cherishes it base. Nooue can debase you but yourself. Slander, satire, falsehood, injustice--theso can never rob you of your manhood. Men may lie about you, they may denouuee you, they may cherish suspicions manifold, they may make your failings the target of their wit or ernelty; never be alarmed; never swerve an inch from the line your judgment and conscience have chalked out for you. They cannot by all their efforts take away your knowledge of yourself, the purity of your motives, the integrity of your character, and the generosity of your nature. While these are left, you aro, in point of fact unharmed. Nothing outside yourself can ever make you smaller than you are to-day. If you shall dwindle; if leanness and inability shall come to any faculty; if you shall lose what makes you an ornament to that rank and order of intelligence to which you were born-- the loss will be a self-inflicted one. Self-degradation is the only degrada­ tion man can know. Woolen and Flannels a fnll stock and at lower prices ihan ever at Buckliu 4b Stevens', CLOTHING!

The Indian Peace Commission- el's appointed by Congress havesoqured from Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Swift Bear, and several other chiefs of the Sioux, a treaty relinquishing their olaim upon the Black Hills country iu exchange for lands in the Indian Ter­ ritory, to which they consent toremoe v if on examination, they are satisfied with them. The chiefs did not seem to feel much confidence that it will be kept, and made some plain-spuken. charges in regard to the perfidy of the government in breaking all their* former treaties, and in sending men to plunder and corrupt them. It might be hard to, convince these "untutored savages" that this Is no extiuuation for their treachery and cruelty. We do not anticipate that this treaty will end the chronic trouble, as it only binds the Agency Indians, and the hostile tribes, if they choose, can repu­ diate it. The policy of recognizing- the tribal relations of the Indians must cease before permanent peace ean be secured. ~ A full line of M.
