Owing^ to the persistent urgency of many friends, in various parts of the county who feel outraged at the re­ sult of the convention on Saturday last, at which instructions were violated, other things done which are neither to the credit nor advantage of sound Republicanism; I have to-day, consented to enter the contest for the office of Circuit Clerk, regardless Of the decision of that,convention. And in this behalf I would ask all my friends throughout the county, to give my •'awe a fair consideration, and then cast their vote and their influence for right and justice, on whichever side they may seem to lie. JOSIAH DWIGHT. Woodstock, Aug. 29th, 1876. To the Electors of McHenry County. Believing that officers for the admin­ istration of justice, should be independ­ ent of, and have no official favors to reciprocate with politicians, 1 hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of States Attorney. If elected. I shall discharge the duties of the office impartially and conscientiously to the best of my ability. JOHN li. LYON. Harvard. 111., July 22 1876.

THIS is the season of the year when our young men go out into the country early in the morning, dressed in shabby clothes, wearing high-tapped boots, carrying . double-barrelled fowling pieces, and followed by one or more mean looking "dorgs/' They ret6rn late in the afternoon, most of them with empty game bags, empty stouiachs. and torn breeches. Still, it is a very healthy kind of recreation, harmless to bird and beast, and might as well be encouraged.

SAYLOR, who lives near this village, was severely bitten by a hog one day last week. The Wound was dressed by Dr. Morrison, and is now getting along finely. JOHN M.CURRY, the Greenback can­ didate for Congress has withdrawn, and Is now stumping McIIenry County for the Republican ticket. He will speak In McHenry one night this week, due notice of which will be given by Pos­ ters. C. H. MOREY has been appointed Deputy by Postmaster Smith, and has been sworn in and can mow be found at Uncle Sam's Headquarter* in this vil­ lage. Charley will be an accommoda­ ting assistant, and if at any time you fall to get a letter expected, he will write you one and "no questions asked." THK FOX River Base Ball Club, of this village, played a friendly game with the Richmond Club on Saturday last, which resulted in a score of 29 tQ 13 in favor of the Fox Rivers. The boys have nol even had a practice game for the past two months, and tlieir hands being tender a good many sore lingers was the consequence. THIS being our last paper before el­ ection, our columns are Somewhat crowded, and we have not been able to give that attention to local matters that we should. And if our advertisers ara neglected they must not complain. When the battle is over and the dead taken care of we will try and make up for the deficiencies that may occur now. ^ THE Riugwood Literary Society have advertised another of their very interesting entertainments, to take place at the Congregational Church in that village, on Friday evening of this week, at which time will be presented the Serio-Comic Drama, in three Acts, entitled "Dearer than Life," and the Roaring Farce of ̂ The Limerick Boy." The former entertainments by this So­ ciety were well attended and highly spoken of by all. We have no doubt they will have a full house on Friday evening. Quite a number from this village Will probably attend. RIVERSIDE HALL was about half filled on Tuesday evening to hear Wm. Lathrop, A. B. Coon and Jesse Ilildrup, but for some unaccountable reason the two latter did not appear. It is re­ ported, however, that Lathrop'g Dem­ ocratic speeches had drove them from the track; that Jesse had gone back to his Ma, aud that "Same old Coon" had retired to Winter quarters, to medi tate over the ingratitude of Republic*, and lay his plans for the chairmanship of the next Convention. But Lathrop did appear, and made what everybody saj's was the best Democratic Speech made in this village this Fall. When he turned to be a Democrat we do not know, but think it must have been brought about under the teachings of the Democratic editor of the SentiwL His speech throughout was simply a bid for Democratic votes, and he sloppered and slimed them over in the most sickening manner. His speech throughout was a fitting evidence of the desperatenees of his cause. We now emphatically say that Hon. S. A. Hurlbut is the only Republican candi­ date in the field. He is advocating the can»e of true Republican principles while Lathrop is aiding the cause of the Democracy. AN OLD SKTTLKK'S VIKWS EDITOR PLAINDEALER:^-YOU can rest assured that you have not lost one friend but have gained mauy by the stand you have taken in exposing the rotten and corrupt ring that has trjed to foist upon the people of the 4th District that most incompetent of men Wm. Lathrop. of Rockford, for our Congressman. Also for nobly and squarely showing the voters why you support Mr. Dwight for Circuit Clerk against E. E. Richards^Just think of putting in the hands of a life long Democratf he best office in.the county and that to bef^iven him by Republi­ cans and lie owning the Abstract Books which nevershould be run in connec­ tion with the offiee of Circuit. Clerk, which you and any other sensible man must acknowledge. No, Mr. Editor, we intend in tliissection to give General Hurlbut and Josiah Dwight a rousing vote. OLD SETTLER. Nunda, Oct. 30th. BLAKE & BEXTFIELD having moved Into their new Store have taken po- session of a quarter column in the PLAINDEALER this week. They liavr filled up with a large and well selected stock of Boots, Shoes, Gloves and Mit­ ten's, Groceries, Crockery, Glass-Ware Ac., to which they invite the attention of the buying public. Read their ad­ vertisement. 0*r Wednesday evening of last week- Isaac Wentworth, returned from a two months absence in the East, when the Cornet Band, of which he is a member, made him a surprise Serenade. They repaired to his residence about 10 o'clock, and awoke him from lus peace­ ful slumbers by one of their "best peiccs. Ike was completely surprised. ,but he came out looking smiling and happy, and the boys promised to ;'do so some more." •WE called the attention of our read­ ers in a former issito of our paper to the Biographical Directory of Me. Henry Co. The canvass for that work has been going on for some weeks, there being a large force of competent men engaged, ami the reports from different portious of the county show- that a lively interest is being taken among the' citizens and that the parries presenting ti.at work are being liber­ ally cncouraged. This town is being canvassed by the Agent. Mr. Walker and we hope that he will meet with like encouragement, and that our citi­ zens will equally appreciate the value of this work. It is a matter of great interest also to our village that the business interests should be well rep­ resented in that work by our merchants subscribing to the work which assures to each-one his Business Card, a Di­ rectory of each village- being scperafe Iv published in the work. It is a cheap work being so large a volume and con­ taining so much valuable matter. The History of the county will be the most complete one thus far written for this purpose The services of A. W. Cumins, well known in this connty, hav been engag'-d, who visits each town and gathers and compiles the facts and incidents connected with their settle­ ment And progn-ss. This is the true way to make a complete and satisfacto­ ry history ami of itself will be worth the price of the work. The Publishers are giving every guarantee to their subscribers that the work nhall fully come up to the promises made, each agent leaving a card to that eflect from the firm. Such a record of our people as shown will be valuable for years to come and will prove of great interest in the household of many of our citizens. A Word from our Friend*. EDITOR PLAIXDEALER:~AS constant readers of the PLAINDKALER we learn to estimate it as a treasure. We wel­ come its weekly calls, and very earnest­ ly look for it, in case of its delay. , We attribute to its columns much mofe celebrity than is ordinarily due to dozens, of private epistles. Science ever flashes a ray from its pages. Geh- eral inteligence combined and made easy of comprehension, discloses its healthj' information to the Observer; specially at this exciting period in our national history. And last of all a record of ojur local, positiou, and of the dailyoccurrences in our comifiunity ever exciting restraint on one hand, and calling up emulation on the other, claims an honest reading and a wise disposal.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--The very mild and beautiful weather of the past week has been justly treasured by our farming class who" are now securing their corn crop which is pronounced •£ry nice, and in fine condition to crib. But not the farmers alone have Enjoyed it, but all classes, some in Centennial trips, some on business pursuits, while •11 unite in a general preparation for the coming winter. Our citizen's were entertained by a Mr. Canfield, of Aurora, to a political speech on Thursday evening last, but as other topics were being discussed in other places in town there wer»\but few present to listen to the political orator. Tilden's lie form garb was quietly taken from his shoulders and h«s unadulterated character presented to the public view in all of its genuine color, but it was now evident that the great purpose of the speaker was to build up the waning prospects of the Ring's political candidate in the 4th District--Win. Lathrop.--and though much time, many figures and much talk were used, the eflort failed to convince or convert any of his hearers. The great e,vent of the week has been the Teachers' Institute, which was opened by our County School Superin- tendaut iu a Lecture on the "Work and Needs of our Public Schools,*' Tuesday evening Oct. 24th inst. That Mr. Niekle devotes much thought and study to our common schools is evident from thegetiuiue ring in his educational ideas as portrayed in his lecture, and we hope it may be given to jthe public through the medium of the press. Wednesday morning our streets were thronged by teachers from all parts of our county, and the "Muster Roll" dis­ closes the names ot eighty "as being present aud accounted for." Arithme­ tic, Geography and Reading were pre­ sented aud the best method of teaching them thoroughly discussed aud criti­ cised. .In the afternoon the subject of History was presented by Prof. He wet t (of the State Normal School) and his method ot teaching the 6ame. In the evening we were entertained by Prof. Hewett by a Lecture on "True View of Education." Thursday morning the subjects of Arithmetic. Geography and Reading were again brought up and thoroughly dissected and then a gener­ al discussion on the various methods of conducting spelling classes aud teach­ ing Grammar were in order after which Prof. Hewettjjave a short deser- tation on "The Theory and Practice of Teaching." S. D. Baldwin, W. A. Skinner and.A. W. Cumins were ap­ pointed a committee to report such alterations in present School Laws, as thought advisable to recommend. Lecture in the evening by Prof. H«ewett. Subject, "Outside Duties of Teachers." Friday, Intellectual Arith­ metic was presented by Prof. Hewett, and Geography by Miss Wake and much interest manifested. AJjss Rose Sullivan. Miss E. C. Murphy and Miss Lucy A. Wake were appointed a com­ mittee on Resolutions (which will ap­ pear in the regular report of the Insti­ tute,) after which Mr. Pierce took up the subject of writing, showiug his method of teaching the same.

She has been in feeble health for some time, yelff without ap­ parent disease of any kind, but simply the giving away of the vital energies, that has sustained herso long, and thus . has she quietly sunk down under the weight of years that are- seldom allot­ ted to but few. Mr. Tyrrell has sold his entire stock of goods to a Mr. Baxter of Aurora, and the building is nesi^ occupied by Mr, Dow as a Boot and Shoe shop. Mr. Murfitt has his Jewelry Shop in same building. As both parties have ample room now look out for nice work for they know how to put on the "gilt edge." The dull monotony of business was enlivened on Monday by the military strains of the fife and drum, as our Democratic friends had made endeavors to have a rousing meeting to do honor to the great chiefs of Democratic Re­ form.

He commenced by taking up the Dem­ ocratic Candidate for President and he handled him and the Democrats generally without gloves, making a good speech. He wound up by saying there was some difficulty in tho Kane county Convention and we had two Republican Candidates in the Held, Gen. Hurlbut was a man of great Abili­ ty, in fact an orator, and a good man. Had held the office nearly four years and he was in favor of a change.' Of 31r.
