A LoeMfe CYmnd and affood time~-Over One Thoiutanrl T*nma "fid Six and $ei)cti Thousand People in , the Village. . •» J The Re-Union of the t)ld Settlers* of Mcttenrr and Lake Counties, U«Id in this village on Thursday lastk was a grand success and highly satisfactory to all wh® participated. Owing to the fact that at the last gatherlag of the Old Settlers in this place, two years ago, the meeting was spoiled by the rains, oar citizens were of ceurve ap­ prehensive that Old Probabilities might again frown upwti upon us, and when at daylight on Thursday morning it was fouud to be raining In torrents, we did indeed think that the Old Settlers had again chosen an unlucky day. But be" fore seven o'clock it cleared off, and Thursday was as fine a day as one could wish, although many from a distance were kept at horn* by the shower In the morning. About 8 o'clock tins teams commenced pouring in frow all directions, and from tiiat time until war noon, every avenue leading to the village was thronged with single buggies, double teams,, and even four hors« teams, all loaded with mea^ women and children, who had coine out te have a good time, and help the Old Settlers *'Re-lTne.* As w«e have before said, the rain i,n the morning prevented maay frotu a distance from attending who had made arrangements to do so, but still Lake County was well represented as usual, Waukegan being represented in procession by 47 teams and Wauconda 43, while many other towns were well represented, which proves that Lake has net lost any of her interest in these Annual gatherings. McHenry County showed seme good delegations, Niuida and Dorr being the most conspicuous. The Xunda delegation was accom­ panied by a Company of fifty horsemen under the command of Captain Richard Aylward, who not only made a very fine appearance, but were of great ser­ vice to the Marshals and Superintend­ ent, in assisting to escort the delega­ tions. They ail w ore green scarfs, we re well mounted and jyrere regarded as one of tho finest features of the day in AT THE RBOl'KM, About twelve o'clock the grounds South of tlte Mill Pond were alive with human beings, all with well-tilled bask­ ets, where ample table room aud seats were fouud, for the accommodation of all. The assemblage was called to or­ der by the President, Johu G. Ragan, Esq., about half past twelve, and alter music, a Prayer was oflerod by Rov. Mr Gorton, of Ringtvood, after which tiftr President stated that the Historian for the day. Hon. E. M. Haines, not being able to be present, had sent a letter which was then read by Dr. H. T. Browu of this village. [Tho letter in full can be found in Another place in this paper.] The President then sta­ ted that a telegram had been received from Hon. J. F. F&rimvorth, that he had mlsfed fche train, and consequently would not be present. This was a great disappointment to the crowd, aud is something that our public speak­ ers are too apt to do. Mr. Farnsworth had written a letter to the Committee but two days before the meeting stat­ ing positively that he would be present and the excuse that he "got left" was a very poor one. Some one pertinently remarked upon the stand,ho had been left often of late, politically, and this may have made him careless and for­ getful. Col. Joslyn, the next speaker, not leaving arrived upon the ground, volun­ teer speakers were called for to fill up the time, aud H W. MCLEAN Was the first to take the stand. "Hank" gave them a short speech in his Inimi­ table style, telling of the early days in this and Lake Counties, Interspering his remarks with stories«od droll say­ ings, which always has a tendency to get a crowd in the best of humor. He was followed by HON. RICHARD BISHOP, Of tbls'Village, who, although being called on entirely unexpected, not ex­ pecting to speak at all, made the finest speech of the di.y. Thid was the gener­ al opinion of all who heard him. He refered to the early days in this part of the State, to the trials and vicissi­ tudes to which the early settlers were cJilled to encounter, and compared them ^wfth the advantages and blessings we enjoy to-day. He said there were really but few old settlers left, many of them having passed to honored graves, but he hoped the citizens of Lake and McHenry Counties would coutiuue to celebrate with those who were left, and do reverence to those who had gone be­ fore. They had taken the brunt of the fight in pioneer life, and to them were we indebted for the many blessings we H«*w enjoy. He also refered to this year as the one hundredth anniversary •f the adoption of the Stars and Stripes and payed a glowing tribute to the emblem of our Natiou's Sovereignty.--- His remarks were appropriate and te the point,and were well received by the large audience there assembled. COL. JOSLYN ^ Hating arrived upon the ground then took the stand and opened his remarks by a personal attack upon the Superin* teudeut of the Day, Hon.F. K.Granger. Mr,4os)yn claimed that he had not been received on his arrival in town, that lie did not know where the grounds we*4 nor where he was to get anything to eat. Now the facts of the case are the$|i; Mr. Granger did, we believe do all the corresponding with the Speak­ ers, Hut on the day of the meeting was too busy with other duties as Superiu* teti^eut to wait upon them at the De|£ot, but H. C. Smith, who was chair­ man -of the Committee of Arrange ments, did meet Mr. Joslyn at the Depot, was with him for nearly an hour, told him where the Speakers stand was erected, and invited him to take Dinner with him, and hunted the grounds and streets for full an hour at dinner time but could not find him. •Now what more Mr. Joslyn could ask than this we know not. In our opinion he owes Mr. Granger an apology. He then made a shortcut interesting ad- dresf, giving reminioences of his early day! In this county, interspersing his remarks with stories and incidents characteristic of the early settlers of the oeuutry. j HON. W. A. lAXftt Of tiiake Forrest, was the next Speaker called for, who said he did not consider hiouplf an Old Settler but was glad to meet so many that were on that occa­ sion. His remarks were practical, com- inoiHsense, aud to the fwlut, aud were wellreceiyed by tho large audience t. V* . . > ,! ;'*• JtON. GKOl GAOS ' Then followed lit a few well-timed re­ marks, after which several other Old Settlers gave Interesting Incidents of their pioneer life, which was very interesting to the younger portion of the ittdieu<*e there assembled. The I CHAMPION FLAG Wegjhan presented to the town of i'diia. Lake Comity* by Hon. 13. M. units, It having fMStli ^milWIthtt the committee appei-.ited for that purpose had so decided, and we believe it was the universal opinion of all that It was a just decision. There were several other towns, who would have made a good showing in that direction bad they kept their delegation together, but of course the Committee could not take them into account. It is a hard matter to get a delegation from any town together, as all seem to be anx­ ious to get into town on such occasions atid got their teams taken care of. THE PICMIC D1NNIR Was the next thing to be attended to, and we believe here everyone done his or her part well. All seemed to have brought in liberally, and we believe we do not sxagsrais whsn wesay there was enough on tho ground ,t». feed ten thousand people, and If anyone went away hungry it was their own fault. THE MUSIC. There were three Brass Bands, pre s- ent, viz: the Wauconda Band, Wood­ stock Band, and the McHenry B%nd, besides a Martial Band from Wauke- kan, to all of whom the Old Settlers Association are under special obliga­ tions. We cannot particularize, but can truthfully say that they all played well, and added much to the pleasure »t the occasion. To the Hon. F. K. Granger much praise is due for the able manuer which he performed the laborious duties im­ posed upon him as Superintendent. It is a thankless task at least, but Mr. Granger left nothing undone that was in his power to make it pleasant for all. THE BASE BALL GAME Came off about 3 e'clcck in the after­ noon as advertised, and was witnessed by a large crowd of admirers of the Na^ tienal Game. It seems, however, that Waukegan had greatly under-estima­ ted the prowess of the Fox River Club, and sent over a Nine that was no match for our boys, and the result was a very onesided game, the score at the close standing 38 to 5 in favor of McHenry. A full score^>f the inuings of the game can be feufia elsewhere. Thus ended the third Annual meeting of the Old Settlers Association of Mc­ Henry and Lake Counties, aud as we saw then, both old and young, depart with happy and healthy countenances for their several homes, we wondered how many of tne^e same faces would be absent from the next Annual gath­ ering. Death no doubt will claim her share, and who will be here to partici­ pate in the next gathering, time alone can tell. But this we do know, the Re- Union just held will long be remember­ ed with pleasure by all who participa* "d- Below we five in flail the ^ LETTER O* HON. X. M. HA^tSl* 1 rr̂ rsEGAN, Junaid, 1977. Iloir. F. K. GBAWOBH. Sir; You informed me some time since, t hat you were one of a commit tee of the Old Settlers association of Mc­ Henry and Lake counties, to invite some* person to deliver an address en the occasion of the annual meeting of said association at McHenry village on the 14th iust,and that your committee were requested to exteud such iuvita* tioa to me, 1 then stated to you that I feared prior engagements would pre* vent me from responding to your invi­ tation, Finding that 1 cannot consis­ tently disengage myself from prior en­ gagements to which 1 refered, I write to so inform you, and tlmt 1 shall be prevented l'rem being present, or from preparing a suitable address for the * occasion; all of which I very much re­ gret, for nothing a fiord* me greater pleasure than a participation In re-un­ ions of this kind. They recall to us the incidents of early days which to me are peculiarly interesting. It is to tne a source of gratification that 1 have had the good feitune to live the whole time covered by the settlement and f;rowth of that portion of count;* orlg-naliy comprising McHenry County aud that I have beeu to some extent at least identified with its history aud progress. Away back towards the beginning of my reccoliectien, in the Spring of 1836 I wns employed, working for a thrifty Farmer in Will County, then among the most northern counties of the State that had become much settled. One eve uing after the labors of the day had closed, some one present read from a newspaper an item which was to the family present one of interest, the fact of the formation of a new county in the northern part of the state, border­ ing on Lake Michigan-~»the family hav­ ing friends who had recently sett led in the territory combined within the new county. It was called the County of McHenry. The Act of the General* As­ sembly creating it was approved Jan- urary 16, 1836. It provided that the new county should continue to form a part of the County of Cook until it should be organized: that the voters thereof should vote with the County of Cook In all general elections until otherwise provided by law. Showing that the population of the new County was at that time considered insufficient for it: Oiganization. There was prob­ ably then, not twenty-five voters with­ in the limite of the uewly formed County. In those days the avenues for the em­ ployment of boys were not as numer­ ous as in this age of Steam and light­ ning, whereby the minds of the young were led mere towards tilling the soil, and obtaining a farm. The lauds iu the uevr ceuuty of McHenry then be- . ItuiPHf tofae govtrnwentof tfaeUifeei Stsites--fn linMHPlWII and was wiill temporarily occupied by the Indians. The comments on the matter of the formation of this new county, followed by discussion of the supposed superior advantages of tile souiity it comprised, led me to a train of reflection as to the future. It occur- ed to me, from mj boyish understand­ ing of the situation, that this would be my last chance to secure a portion of the public domalu--the sole object of coming west, at the low price of $1,25 per acre, within so reasonable a dis­ tance of the anticipated future great market of Chicago: whereupon least my lot in the new county of McHenry in May 1836 where 1 engaged for the summer iu the service of Leonard and George Gage, who had settled during the fall before, in the vicinity of that chaiu of small lakes since known as Gages Lakes, and commenced opening a farm on an extensive scale. Under the advice and aid of Mr, Gsavgr. O _ I marked out a claim of land covering the present cite of the Tillage of Uaias- yille. By an Act of the General Assembly approved March 1st. 1837 Peter Coiien Of Will. Merit L. Covcll McLean, and Dauiel Dunham of Kane county were appointed Commissioners to locate the County Seat of McHenry county. They were required to meet at the house of Hiram Kenuicott iu said county ou the first Monday of May following, or with­ in thirty days thereafter and proceed, after having sworn to faithfully take late view the ceuveuience of the peoples,situation of settlement, with eye to future population and eligibili­ ty ot place, to locate th« seat of justice ot said county, and report te the first term of the county commissioners court, They were allowed by the Act $200 each for their services. The commis­ sioners proceeded in pursuance thereof, and located the county seat at what is now McHenry village, on the 10th of May 1837, where a beginning had beeu made by Henry W. McLean and others with a view to this result. The first election for county officers o^McHenry county was directed by the Act iu question to be held at the house of Hiram Kennicett. June 1st, 1837. Tbis was en the O'Plaln river near the mouth of ludlsn creek and near what is now the village of Half Day. At this election 115 votes were cast, which is supppesed te comprise all the voters iu the county of McHenry at that tiaic. The Hist term of the county commissioners court of the new couuty was held at the county seat June 5th following the election, when the county became fuliy organized. Capt. Daniel Wright istaid to have beeu the first settler in what became McHenry county. He settled in the summer of 1834 on the O'Plaln river, a short distance north of the county line, in what is new the township of Ver­ non. Samuel Gillilan was the first eft tier iu th»t part of the county now com­ prising McHrnry county. He settled en Fox river in what is now the town­ ship of Algonquin in November 1834. The couuty of Lake was set oft' and formed from McHenry county by An Act of the General Assembly passed at its session of 1838-39. The petition for this division of McHenry county •lata* the pepuj^UQU at that time to be "at that time to be at least few thousand souls, with a list or by the tax role of the year 1888 of eight hundred and seventy-five tax paying eitiasens." Thus frea this «n*ii bc-!r.r.!ng. Within the memory of persons of midle, age,the counties of McHenry and Lake, have increased in wealth and importance, taking rank, in thla regard among the first in the State, hitvlnea combined population at this time of about fifty thousand. Although on th« day of your meeting I expect te be a long distance away in the region of the ltoi-ky Mountains--* still I shall refer to the occasion of your re-union with feelings of auxlety for its success, with the earnest hope that the result may tend to more close­ ly usiite the «ocial and material interest Of the surviversof the pioneer days of McHenry aud Lake counties. Tis said that distance lends onehafct* ment to the view. This may be ap­ plied as well to lapse oftime ao distance In space. The principle Of curiosity iuiplanted In the humau/ breast leads the mind to inquire lute the past, aud to dwell with peculiar iu terest 011 events of other days, and this interest is increased as tlte scene of action recedes into the depths of antiquity, just as we gaze with more intense delight upou a landscape over which twilight or distance has thrown its euchanment. Thus many events of our eaily Pilgrimage iu this country, which were perhaps at the time paitiful to us in the extreme, we at times look back upon them through the mist of failing years with a sense of pleasing reflection, rather than of pain or re­ gret. Some noted philosopher aa he /waa about to die, was asked If he Would choose to live his life oyer again, tie answered **uo, 1 would choose to live on." But with our pioneer life, with its vicissitudes and pelting storms, it nas been to me as a pleasant dre am, which 1 recall not with regret, but with pleasure and satisfaction, and to live it again would be like awakening to pleas- ine realities. But the impetus of time is upon us, aa4 we are admonished that our lives are rapidly drawing to a close, a few years more aud we shall have accomplikhed our day, when we must lie down to our final rest, by the side of our ui*uy com­ panions who have left us at Intervals the wayside on the great journey of life. But may it nor. be aaid of 11s (hat we have labored iu vain nor spent onr strength for naught, for our judgment is witu him who does all things well, and our work is with that Mesial) who w'il come unto theui that merit liia mercy.
