He was engaged in firing the old Cannon when from some cause it was discharged While he was standing over the vent. When his face and breast was blown full Of powder, cutting and bruising him in $ horrid manner. It was at one time thought that he would lose an eye. He has been confined to the house ever otnee, but we understand is improving us fast as could be expected. This fooling with old rusty cannon is dan­ gerous business, and should be looked upon as attempted suicide. CONSTABLE Wightman and A. J. Tor- stance, captured a Stolen horso and bng- gy in this village on the 4th. The horse was stolen at or near Kenosha, Wis., bv a young fellow by the namefof Kane whose father lives near Wedgewood'-s Corners, in this county. Constable Wightman received a Postal Card from an officer in Wisconsin, describing the property, which was found at the barn of Ichobed Wells, where the thief put him up, intending no doubt to celebrate In McIIenry that day. lie was seen by Torrance, but the officer failed to get sight of him, and probably as soon as he heard the horse was taken he lit out. He was captured, however, at Harvard on Saturday last by Officer Van Curen •f Woodstock, and lodged in jail, from whence he was taken by officers from Wisconsin on Sunday, back to the sccne of his crime, where he no doubt will be made to answer for his misdeed. IT is now about two years, since we commenced the publication of the Plaindectier, and we find many names upon our books who are iu arrears from one to two years. We have been very lenient with our patrons.have done lit­ tle if any dunning, being content, with what come, so long as we could pay our way. We know it- is an old saying that Printers can live witlidut money, and we know they can, but is it fair to make them do it all the time? We have upon our books, now due, for ad­ vertising. Job Work and subscription, over a thousand dollars, and we must ask our patrons to come around and settle a portion of their indebtedness at least. The amount of each one is small, but in the aggregate would be a handsome sura to us. We hope to hear from every one of our patrons who are la arrears before our next issue * We wisn to make some improvements and additions to our office, ,and in order to do this must hare what is our due. BASE BALL •t A genuine Muffin game of Base Ball was played in this village on Friday last between the Clippers of Woodstock and the Fox Itlver'Club of this village which resulted In favor of the former by a score of 28 to 11, The hF«it Riv­ ers" were not fit to play, being all used up from their 4th of July game and cel­ ebration, and when on Thursday they received notice that the Clippers wan­ ted to come they telegrafied back tell­ ing them not to coine, but in the face of this the Clippers put in an appear­ ance. and against the advice of their friends the Fox Rivers consented to play, and consequently hate no one to blame for their Waterloo defeat but themselves. The Clippers are welcome to all the honors they gained from this victory. If these two clubs cannot play an honest, fair game of Ball they had better lay by the Ball and Bat and spend their exttfat time at something else. Let us have uo more of this dodg­ ing. . . „ • .• i . .. WE learn that on the night of thei 4th of July, some person with evil in­ tent attempted to gain an entrance in­ to the residence of Mr. O. Bugbee, of this village. Mrs. Bugbee and her son were the only ones in the house. Mr. Bngbee being away. Her son had re­ tired when she noticed a man on the opposite side of the street acting rath­ er suspicious!}'. She kept watch of him aud when slie saw he was coining into the yard and towards the house called her son, and together they watched his operations. He walked carefully around to an end window, which we believe was up, aud as there was a large bush growing in front of it he deliber­ ately cut it away, either that it might not obstruct his view or hinder his en­ trance. It so happened that Mrs, Bugbee had no weapon of defense iu the house, but at this juncture young Bugbee seized a heavy stool andsallied forth, when the marauder beat a hasty retreat. Whether the object of the villiau was plunder or pure cussedness, because he thought Mrs. Bugbee was alone, is not known. But no matter what was the intent, wo* hereby warn them that it will be dangerous to re- peat it. Mrs. Bugbee is now "armed aud equipped as the law directs," aud will make it warm for any who may try alike experiment. OXE of the wildest storms of wind, rain., thunder and lightning, passed oVer this county on Thursday last, that has been known for years. It. was so dark that it was necessary to use lamps to do anything, while the wind blew a perfect hurricane, the air was filled with electricity, Heavens Artillery re­ sounded its loudest and the rain poured in torrents. Tlio clouds were of a greenish hue, and everything present­ ed such a peculiar appearance that many wrre frightened, aud visions of. Mt. Carinel came vividly before their eyes. But happily we escaped the fate of that doomed village. We can learn of no damage being done in this im- mtHiiHte vicinity, but iu other parts of the county they were not so fortunate. At Richmond the storm seemed -to have burst in all its fury, aud for a time it was greatly feared that the village would be destroyed. The lightning struck in several differeut places, and quite a number of persons were severely shocked, aud we hear of several cows being killed. The storm lasted about an hour and was simply terrific, aud such a one as we hope never to witress again. WE have been shown by D. S. Smith samples of Barley. Millett and Native lirass, brought by him from the Ranch of his son h> Nebraska, which we think would be bard to beat. The Barley,in particular was the finest we ever saw. The heads were well filled, large and heavy, averaging from 72 to 80Kernels to the head. They were not picked h*ads either, being cut from the edge of the field without selection. We think this would be hard to beat. The Native Grass was the cleanest looking Hay possible for one to see, while the Millett was three feet six iuches in length, heavy and well headed. We think that if the pestiferous grasshop­ pers would keep aWay Nebraska would be hard to cxcell as a farming country.

OWES DEAR SIR:--In regard to the Tiger Rake I bought of you liist. season I would say that I raked 25 acres of rough and smooth meadow with it and it raked to perfection. The self dump­ ing supplies a want'"that has long been needed, and it is strong and durable and not liable to get out ot order. Any boy or girl that can drive a horse can do all the raking in the meadow as well as the strongest man and it is a perfect rake.

Our Celebration. *fhe Celebration in this village on the Fourth of July was .a success in every particular. It was not expected to get out a large crowd, but the streets were thronged and all, seemed to en­ joy themselves in their own peculiar way, and in the best of manner, with no one »o molest. Early In the morn­ ing the weather was threatening, which no doubt kept many others away who otherwise would have been here, . t THE PROGRAMME . / Of the dav wa« ca/ried out to Itf ffifil- est extent, with the exception of the Horse Company, which was abandoned onaccouut of the extreme warm weath er. The Band were out in full force, and done themselves great credit, besides adding mnch to the pleasure of the da}'. The Procession was formed about 10 A. M., aud after inarching through the priucipal streets returned to the Grove near the Depot, where the exercises consisted of music by the Band. Prayer by the Rev. J. H. Bacon, Reading of the Declaration of Inde­ pendence by W. S. Prickett, Esq.. arid Orations and Speeches by Judge B. N. Smith, of Woodstock. Hon. Richard Bishop, McIIenry, Dr. J. E. Morrison, W. S. Prickett, Esq., Hon. George Gage, and others. We have neither time nor space for even a synopsis of their remarks, but suffice to say they were all pertinent aud to the point, reflecting credit upon the Speakers and doing honor to the day we cele­ brate. After the Speeches Dinner was in order, and while many spread their baskets on the tables arranged iu the Grove, others went to the Hotels and to their homes, aud that all were amply provided for was evidenced by their good - natured countenances on our streets afterwards. The Steamer "Athlete'* came down from Wilinot with about one hundred on board, but owing to an accident to her machinery did not get here until late. The Base Ball match between the First and Sccond Nine of the Fox River Club, came oft aud was witnessed by a large crowd of tire lovers of the gams. The Fireworks, although not ol a very extensive character, were very fine, aud the display would compare favorably with that of former years.. The Dances iu ths evening at the Hotels closed the festivities, and were as usual, attended by large and pleas­ ant gatherings, I he re being one hun­ dred and thirteen couples at the River­ side House, aud eighty couples at/the Parker House. Thus closed the One Hundred and First Anniversary of American Inde­ pendence. and Mcllonry has uo cau^e to feel ashamed of her Celebration. Kuncla Department. Proceedings of tlie Board of Trotten*.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER.--Although yoti'have not heard anything from this place for the last two weeks we are still doing as much business as usual and enjoying ourselves as well as the weather will permit. The fourth passed off pleasantly net many leaving town. Wm. Hill, our worthy P. M. who lias been sick for several weeks, is not yet able to be in the Store, which compels him to hire another clerk who is C. L. Asliton. The Literary Society will meet Thursday eve of this week when they will discuss the following question. Resolved That a Monarcliial form of government is preferable to a Republi­ can. There will also be Declamations, Recitations, Select Reading, Essays, Music and Query Box. The roll call will be answered by historical facts. As this society is for the good of all we hope there will be a large attendance. The Baptist S. School under the su­ perintendence of Wm. St. Claire, U in a flourishing condition, and propose hol­ ding a picnic in a short time, when they will probably invite other Schools to join them. The heavy wind and rain storm of last week did jio particular damage around here except to knock grain down aud prevent people from working in the Hay and Corn. G. W. Thompson, Jr., started for the west last week, where he will spend a few weeks. We had the pleasure last Sabbath eve of listening to a very interesting des­ cription of life in Turkey, given by a Lady Missionary from that Coifntry, whose name we did not learn. She de­ clares the nation to be bankrupt, not able to pay the interest on their debt, and 6ays if left to themselves their downfall Is certain. ODD, jr. • of Crystal Aafco. * * * WISCONSIN DIVISION.

People who own them are how enga­ ged in cleaning the allies of the town. It has been commenced though, only af­ ter repeated requests. The telegraph operators are about to •'change works'1--Foote Is to work nights for a time and Heldeman will work days. Patrons are requested to be gentle with the tall one. One day last week Mrs. Francisco and daughter rode from this place to Mc­ IIenry on the cars. Mrs. F. is over 60 years of age and this is the first time that either she or Miss Francisco ever traveled by this modern (?) convey­ ance. An attempt at sricide WM made a few days ago by Mrs. Alonzo Putnam, a lady living near the river. An einet. ic was administered by Dr. C. C. Wat­ son and her attempt was frustrated. No cause is given. She is perfectly sane. The general inquiry is: Where Is the Post Office? With Warner & Hamil­ ton, their hardware and all, It has mo­ ved into the rooms formerly occupi­ ed by M. Ilelin <& Co. Under the brush of Mr. Warner the color of the rooms improve-- but why paint with doors auil windows shut? The Barreville Base Ball Club have been "scooped" again by the Crystal Lakes. They went to Ridgefleld ex­ pecting to play there; but,finding noth­ ing worthy of their steel, they challen­ ged the Crystal Lakes who accepted and beat them 10 to 2. Perhaps our club may become proficient enough to play the Clippers of "The City" O, if they only might!v Mr. A. Bcardsley met with an accl- dent while driving down tiie hill netr Mr.'Paddock'*, and had a narrow escape -from serious Injury.,, Tho hold-back of the harness broke letting the wagon come suddenly against the horse who ran away, nearly demolishing the wag. on. Mr. Beardsley jum ped out, sustain­ ing a few injuries which would have been much worse had he remained in the carriage. After the town was consigned to dark­ ness and quietness one Hight last week, the liveliest of lively echoes was awa­ kened by a young gentleman with a dog temporarily fastened to his pants leg. It is wonderful how great a vol­ ume of sound there is in a person, and how little it takes of such a favorable condition to bring it out. Unfortunately the names of the parties concerned are unknown. Get ge Eadle 'attended the Fourth of July Celebration at McHenry where he got very much intoxicated. After be reached home he began to destroy furniture and other things in the house his wife's watch among the rest. She with their two little children, went to the depot the next day intending to go to Chicago but before the train left they were overtaken by Mr. Radle and separated, he taking the children away. She went to Chicago alone, and there th« matter rests as far as everybody knews. Joe Briggs was snother representa­ tive of our town who attended the Fourth of July "Celebrate." With Geo. H. Claysoifs harness and carriage and Mr. Elzea's horse he "took in" McHenry through the day and then started for Chicago or some other port. Mr. Clay- son aud Mr. Elzea have been put to a great deal of trouble and expense in their search after the property and thief. As yet the search has beeu fruit­ less but we hope that all may be regain" ed and Briggs secured, then punished severly. He has received many favors and had a home with Mr. Clay son for some time and such ingratitude makes the crime double. MA POTS.
