LAXGHAM left at our Sanctum a Beet that beats any Beet we have seen this season. (We are not speak­ ing of dead-beats now.) It Was a mon­ ster in size and weight and would make a meal for three jor four tainjlics. CHAS KARLS, Johnsburg, has good accommodations for Hunters and Fish­ ermen, and will keep them by the day or week on the most reasonable terms. His location is convenient and accomo­ dations the best. NEWSPAPER advertising impels in­ quiry, and when the article offered is •f goed quality and at fair price, the natural result is increasing sales. This is the universal verdict of those who have thoroughly tested the matter. IN handling: over our Wood-pile the ether clay we found a solitary PotaHfife Bug. He looked sorry, and from . all appearances had just heard from the 4th District, Well, that's enough to make even a Potatoe Bug sorry. WE should judge from the number of teams iu town that business was on an upward tendency, and hope to hear soon that the farming community have effected an exchange of the products of their toil for a large amount of the na­ tional currency. IT is said that a hen held by one leg will nor squak half as much as when both leg« are grasped. Thanksgiving day is only a short time hence, and per­ sons who are aceustomed to purchasing their poultry at night--a few hours ' after the owner of the fowls has retired --will do well to cut this out and paste it In their hat. PARTIES from Chicago were here last week trying to make arrangements to put up a large Ice House at the West end of the Mill Pond. They are men of capital and we hope that arrange­ ments may yet be mad-to get them to go ahead with this business. r It. would be a business that would give employment to a large number of men during the Winter months. ONE half of the. Steamboat "R. Em­ erson" was sold at Auction one dav last week and purchased hy O. \V. Owen. The owners are now Cl«.rk A Owen, and we are informed intend to rig the Steamer over and put it in shape to accommodate the public the coming Summer. It i# their intention , to lengthen it out, enlarge the wheels, and make other and all needed im­ provements in machinery &«., and thereby not onj^y increase the capacity but also the speed. We can assure our readers that our Steamboat facilities between McIJenry and the Lakes will be gbod the coming season. . PRESIDENT GRANT HIVS named Thurs­ day the 30th day of November, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise, there­ fore look up your Turkey and the Ac. to go with it, but do not forget to look around among your neighbors and see if there is not a poor widow or soine^ fatherless children that you could help enjoy this National Holulav. This is the true way to give tlianks. MISS WIDMER wishes u* to it form our citizens that she will, if a sufficient number of Scholars can be obtained, open an evening: German School. This is a chance which the young of this village should avail themselves of. Miss Widmer is an excellent Teacher, and if a good class can he formed, will ina"ke the tuition reasonable. Those who wish attend can. leave their names at this office. THE stylish young lady of the period when in full rig looks as if she had been iu a rough and tumble tight and got her hat banged up on one side and jammed down on the other, besides being yanked about for a brief space with might and main by the foretop, not­ withstanding which she walk? the streets as if she didn't care a eent whether school kept or not. THE Harvard Independent says: A son of Neil Jerome while out hunting one day last week, near Collin's pond, shot Into a flock of swans and succeeded in bringing one down. He measured six feet and six inches from tip to tip otitis wings, four feet and six inches from head to foot, and weighed fifteen pounds and a quartet. Mr. Wyant secured it. and now has it mounted Tor tils museum. THE Rev. Mr. Cooper received for his services the past year, $350. from Ring- wood, 4)32r> from McHenry. his moving expenses $14. paid for house rent $10 per month, house furnished with bed­ steads chairs, table and stove. Actual service less than ten mouth* and a half. At Solon and Spring Grove lie received $17. One mouth was given hiio by his charge to visit the Centennial. JOIIN E. BASSETT. JOHN M. Smiuhas moved his stock of Hardware-, Ac., to his new Store, near the Depot, where he will in the future be pleased to receive his old customers and friends, and as many new ones as may see fit to call. He now has one of the finest stores for his business to be found iu the county. It was built expressly for him is 20x48. with a works.iop in tUe rear 20x18. Everything is arranged in a tasty and convenient manner, and with iiis pres­ ent large stock of Stoves. Tinware, John can accommodate all who may call, either in quality cf goods or in price. Do not fail to give him a caliin his new quarters, as lie says his "lat^li string" is always out. . THE matter of advertising, as a busi­ ness. is'often misunderstood. It is an undeniable rul£to the trade that ad­ vertising pays. Of course the same judgment and prudence must "be exer­ cised iu advertising as in any part of one's business. It is more necessary to advertise now than it was fifty or a hundred years a^o. People are more busy now than they were then. They have Jess time and leisure to looK about for what they want. They look to the newspapers to learn where their wants can be supplied, and they accept it as a settled rule that a man who adver­ tises the comiriodities whieiine hasto dispose of, instead of waiting for the people to find it out themselves, is the best man--to- deal with, and the most likely to gi\-« sat i-f.-.vtjjj.i; tud, if,, you wish to kiiow wuo tiiose men are. we would refer you to tue columns ot the PLAINDEALEH. THE following from .tnexchange will »PI'ly to other towns than tlie one intended: "The cold weather lia* com­ pelled the "busines.*" loafers to vacate the boxes on the side walk, and they now ply their miserable vocation of attending to other people's business around the stoves and on the counters iu^tlie various stores. If there is any­ thing disagreeable to a lady, it is to enter a store where a crowd of men are congregated, who are not gentlemen enough to refrain from their vulgar talk eve.i w.iile she remains. io say not.ling oi t tie e.joking cinude ot tobac­ co smoke which fill the room. We know of more than one store in this town (and this place i# no exceptional one) that ladies will not enter unless it is abslontely necessary-, lor this very reason, if men cannot find anymore profitable occupations than loafing in a store all day. at least the n>ei;cl.ant can make it profitable to prevent their doing so.'" 'r • * RICHARD BISHOP has purchased the old Owen Mill and adjacent property, from H. D. Luff, and will take posses­ sion on Monday next. We learn that Mr. Bishop intends immediate'ly to put the Mill in first class repair for doing a large wholesale Flouring business, and thttiie will put up early in the Spring on the site of the old Machine Shop a large Wagon Factory and Agri­ cultural Warehouse. This purchase, !we think, will not only prove a profita­ ble one for Mr. Bishop but insuie a man­ ufacturing business in McIIeury that cannot fail to draw others around* it. The water power is ample, and Mr. Bishop has nol onlj' the capital but the vim, go-ahead and experience in this kind of business to ensure a success in the largest sense of the word. McIIeu­ ry has facilities for a business of this kind enjoyed by fe»w, and we shall ex­ pect to see, within the next twelve months the location of other manufac­ turing interests in our midst. An old Lady's Mistake. The death of one of the oldest resi­ dents of Bi-ookfleld, Qmu., recalls an incident which happened some 26 years ago. She was going to Stamford to visit a daughter, and took her seat in the cars for the first and only time in her life. During the ride the car in which she was seated was thrown down an embankment and demolished. Crawling out from beneath the derbis, 8he spied a man who was held down iu a sitting posture by his legs being fast­ ened. "Is this Stamford 5"* she anxious­ ly inquired. The man was from Bosto n. He was in considerable pain, but he did not lose sight that he was from Boston, so he said:**No, this is a catas­ trophe," "Oh" ejaculated the old lady; "then 1 hadn't onghter got off here."

EDITOR PLAINIJEAI.EIS:--Our beauti­ ful weather was slightly checked by a most soaking raiu that coutinued almost without intermission for nearly two days, so that our st reams and ponds were filled to overflowing and the roads deluged with innd and for a short time it seemed as though the scepter was to be yielded up to the storm gods of winter aud the Beauties of Nature hidden by a carpet of snow. Our mer­ chants are replenishing their stock of goods and offer them at panic prices but still, they find a difficult job to rake iu many "Greenbacks"The Politi­ cal crusade has virtually closed aud the partisiaus wait in almost breathless suspense for the result. Religious exercises in the Hall were conducted, on Sunday by Elder Collins iu his usual pleasant and imaginative styhj,and the minds of the' audience seemed envrrapt by the fluent and flow­ ery accents df the speaker as he por­ trayed to them the zeal, earnestness and faith of Peter, but to your corres­ pondent the eflort when striped of its flowery embellishments and the great underlying tiutli reached, it was simply the same old story of the Devil roaming unshackled through the Elysian field of earth, offering the tempting fruit of knowledge to the Fair Sous and Daughters of overland Perhaps I did not appreciate it. I don't think I did. It is not uncommon to witness the humiliating spectacle of the inebriate as he staggers with unsteady gait along our streets, muttering his con­ temptible twaddle to every passerby, and thus bringing contumely and ridi­ cule upon the fair name of our village. This ought not so to be. Where our vil- lsge fathers? Why is not this violation of our laws attended too, and the viola ters dealt with as they deserve. Enougn facts are already to be had, sufficient to bring the guilty parties before the Grand Jury.

Had a splendid oyster supper and all went oil'slick as a marri age bell until we came away and then there was a few stones and chunks of dirt throwed but when we began to throw a little that way they thought it was bed time by the way they took leg bail for secur­ ity. We reached home about one o'clock in the moriling feeling as though we had done enough for one night. ODD. KX-iCMTRESS CHARLOTTTE. Nine years afgo Maximilian, emperor of Mexico, closed his brief reign iu the court yard of Queretaro, where he was shot by command of the late President Juarez, and ever since, his widow, the ex-Empress Charlot te, has been a prey to acute melancholia, the paroxysms of which, however, were at first followed by intervals of partial return to reason. In these she was allowed to amuse her­ self--if amusainent be the word for an occupation which turned upon the deepest tragedy--in writing the experience of her husband and herself in their few month's sojourn in Mexico. This she lias long abondoned. and in the chateau of Lacken, where she is under strict medical surveillance, she has relapsed into a confirmed dementia, which her physicians have given up all hope of curing. As iu similar cases she 1-ecnrs to the predilections of child­ hood, one of which was a passion for flowers, and Ophelia-like,she spends most of her time over them, feeding as they do her once lively but now diseased imagination. Their attrao tion for Iter was touchingly manifested the other day. EludiiTg the watch of her attendants, she had. fled from the castle, but when overtaken it was found impossible to induce her (o return, except by the use of means which would certainly have proved hurtful. One of her physicians bethougt himself of her morbid aftectiou for JJowea*s. and by strewing them from time to time before her she was gradually lured on her way back to the chateau, where a closer surveillance lias since be*n placed over her.--Lancet.
