' • ,rt- • EDITOR PLAINDEALKR:--The evont of the past week was the Greenback OoRV«ntlon, held at the Court House on Saturday, at which there was a re­ spectable turn out, though not all the towns were represented, as appeared When, it became necessary to appoint Town Committees, it being necessary to delegate that power to the County Committee on account of so many ab­ sentees. There was evidently consid­ erable jealousy lest somebody should sell out to one or the other of the old parties. Judge lIcLain pretended to fe&r thera both, but a looker on in Venice" seemed to think from his ar­ guments and votes on some of the questions, lie, the Judge, had already sold some of the offices to the, to use his own language, Old Bourbon party. This may or may not be so but there was a squinting that way, and the judge apparently was struggling for power of attorney to deliver in accor­ dance, with his auto facto contract. So far as relates to this locality, we see but one feeling on the congres^- sional question, and that Is in favor of Gen. Hurlbut'8 renomlnation. We would cautlou the General and hie friends, howe ver, against ah over confi­ dence, as there is an ominous silence on the part of his enemies that means mischief. How far the trade, with A. C. Fuller, for State Senator from the Winnebago and Boone District is to ellect the congressional questiou is yet to be seen. It is thought by Lathrop's friends that this Will divtdo Boone and give him the District independent of McHenry and Kane. This may or may not work, but one thing is certain if Gen. Hurlbut and Wm. Lathrop are permitted t« run this race on their in­ dividual merits, the General already has the field and this his opponents know, hence this scoring ou the part of Political brokers, and jobbers. Let them score and run their man, never­ theless ' ~~~ '•Pigmies are pigmies still tho perched on Alps ^ Bnt Pyramids are Pyramids in vales.'! We are still of the opinion that there are men who are playing a double role, and are figuring with the friends of both contestants, with an eye to render it impossible to nominate either, so that the '*dark horse," who has already, in his own imagination, distributed the patronage of the Dis­ trict satisfactory lo himself and those who are grooming and holding him by the bit, lest he pass the score too soon and expose the scheme before its time. One "can call spirits from the vastly deep," but will they come is an important question. Another can sell out the patronage of the District, but can be deliver is just as important a query now as two years ago. The civil service reform peems to discon­ cert some plans, and so it is, "The best laid plans of mice and mea Gang aft aglee."

The owners were up •j JfWw huntlug forthetfi,about sunrise, but too latei, nothlogf sTiort of fifty wonld pay the bill. It is not a strange occurrence for them however, they have paid poundage, on the same hogs before. Yet they consider it rather adverse business, with the present price of pork. Solon Sunday School attended the Children* Picalc, at Richmond. With banner high in air, and steeds champ­ ing their bits, the happy crowd started on their journey at an early hour. They readied Richmond at the appointed time, and were soon assign* ed to places in the ranks, then the line marched to the grov«, under the man­ agement of appointed officers. After listening attentively t<j the music, by the bands, 'star singing,' speaking, Ae.. they were conducted to another por­ tion of the grove, to partake of the festivities prepared for the children's dinner, and the old tolks ate more than the children for the little hearts were filled to overflowing with the antici­ pation of what was coming next. A ramble in the woods, away from Pa. and Ma, wading In the brooks, and a thousaud difterent ideas all passing through their little noddles at the same time. It was a gloomy hour for them as they scattered from the mid­ day meal, to have their attention call­ ed to a large thunder cloud rising In the West^ Some sobbed, some wept, and others more brave were sat lotted wfth what they already had, and turn­ ed satlfactorlly away from the antici­ pated scenes to seek for shelter.

There is a enrlous story about some native wines which are extensively advertised nowa­ days, and have only recently been put upon Use market Dr. Underhill, the well-known, grape-grower of Crotoa Point, died in xSyio Some of Ms heirs entertained temperance wiews of such extreme kind, that they were nnwilling to allow the stock of wines then ©a hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded In arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale ©f the wines on hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1M4, described as a but suggesting the than any other Eurot wholly unlike any otn growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine- fanciers lhave a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con­ siderable quantity.
