WE are informed that while Uucle Samuel Stocker was llahing on the bridge the other day, an individual with more cheek than brain*, came along, and without as much as saying by your leave, carried off a string of fish which Mr. Stocker had caught.-- That the individual in question was fall of benzine, was no excuse. The act was one that any respectable man ought to be ashamed of. THE Geneva Lake Herald Bays: Mr. W, H. Stnnnett. General Passenger Agent of the C. A N. W. R. R., tele­ graphs us that the Ciscoette Passenger and the Excursiou Passenger trains will he put'on. on Sunday, May 23d, run­ ning at about the same times as last year. It Is expected that the Cisco? ette will be a permanent thing Winter and Summer hereafter, which for the convenience of business men, cannot be too strongly desired. THE Steamboat is now making nlar trip* to the Lakes, running In connection with the trains, and quite a number are going up daily. From present indication wn predict that the number of visitors to Fox\Lake this season will be larger than e^r before. The accommodations forgetting there never wete better than at present, while at the Lakes there arc no better Hotels and Boarding Houses to be found anywhere. E. M. OWEN A SON, the old and re­ liable dealers In Agricultural Machin­ ery, have a new advertisement this week which farmers will do well to read. They have a complete stock of Farming Tools of all kinds, and are offering rare inducements to buyers.-- They have just received a new Invoice of Top Buggies. Phaetons, tic., and invite an examination of those desir- SEE. the new advertisement of Steven," «fc Schnorr in another column. Their stock is complete, ami you should not fail to examine their goods and learn prices before purchasing. MRS. H- H. NICHOLS wishes to an­ nounce that she will doover all kinds of straw work and Leghorn Hats.-- Bleaching and Pressing done with dispatch, at Reasonable Prices, WE understand tnat mere is strong talk of putting up a Telephone from the Depot to the Riverside House, in this village. This would be a great convenience to our citizens, and we trust it may be done at once. WOMEN do more headwork than men ; that is, It takes some women four hours to do up their hair for an evening par­ ty, while a good smart man cau do his np in three hours and fifty minutes, easy. ^ WE learn tiiat Rev. B. N. Wiles, a former Pastor of the Universalis! Church in this village, died at Macomb III., week before last. His family have the sympathy of a host of friends iu this vMnity. WHEN planting your melons, try and have the patch as near the fence as pos- • alble. It saves a great deal of anxiety •n the part of the wicked boy. besides keeping your vegetables from being trampled on. A BAD egg may always bo known by the manner in which it lies In the wa­ ter, if placed in it. If good, it inva< rtably lies upon its side. Some bad qggs that we know arc also proved by the way they lie. MAC CHCRCH, of Woodstock, made HI a short call one day last week. Vac will be a candidate for Sheriff this Fall and with his official'record in that office before, and his popularity In the different parts of the county, we judge that his chances f or success are good. RED-HORSE fishing ii now at its height, and you cau scarcely cast your eye upon the streets hut what yon will see a boy carrying oft one or more. The bridge is the most popular place of resort for spears, and every foot is occupied during the entire day. The Ashing for Bass aud Pickerel is also good. THE McHenry Comet Baud are talk­ ing of again re-organizing, and we trust it will not all end in talk. As we have said many times before, we have the material for as good a Baiul as there is in the State, and with a lit­ tle practice they can compete with the best. We. hope they may reorganize, and that at once. SPRAGUE's Circus, which exhibited bore on Thursday last, was one of the biggest frauds on the road. Their great Electric Light consisted of Ker- osone Lamps, and many of the other big tilings advertised was never shown under the tent. We can say no more nor lees of them than that they are a fraud In every seme of the word. MARRIED.--On Saturday. May 15tli( 1860, Mr. Frank Dwight Denny, the Elocutionist and Dramatic Artist, was united in marriage to Miss Jessie Olive Hobbs, (professionally known as Miss Jessie Duuniug,) by the Rev. Dr. J. M Worrall, Pastor of the 8th Presbyter-" Ian Church, at the residence of J. H. 6wartwout.245 Warren Avenue, Chi­ cago, 111. W. R. SMITH, Trask's Agent, of Au­ rora, will be in town this week, with a line stock of Watches, Jewelry, Sil­ verware, Ac., which he will offer at prices thai defy competition. Those who contemplate purchasing will do well to look at his goods. Ho Is a fair dealing man aud those who trade with him can be assured that everything will be just as represented. Ax exchange says that a cow thut wore a bell having been run over and killed on a railroad, the owner brought •nit against tlie railroad company for damages. It was proved that the en­ gineer rang the bell and tried te fright- in the cow off the track, but the farm­ er's vow also raug Iter bell and tried to frighten the engine off the trade, and to the jury decided in his favor. ing to purchase, ment elsewhere.

He will be ready to serve thos»e who wish Ice Cream on Thursday afternoon and evening, and every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday re­ gularly thereafter during the senson. He will also keep Confectionery, Lemonade,Cider. Cigars, Ac., and we trust he will recieve a liberal patron­ age. FINK STOCK. While passing the farm of John W. Smith, a few days since, our attention was called to his celebrated Short Horn Bull, "Gen. Sherman." and If we ever saw a perfect animal he is one. He was one year old iu February last. Is a bright red. with a few white hairs in his forehead, near the horns, and for general, shape and beauty In every particular we believe he cannot be beaten. Mr. Smith informed us that he has repeatedly refused 8100 for him the present Spring. As soon as we can get it ~ve shall publish his Pedigree in full. We also saw in his yards a young full blood Jersey Bull, about eleven months old, that was a model of that breed. This breed is not as large as the Short Horns, but are very fine, smooth made animals, and this one promises to make a good showing when he gets a little older. , Mr, Smith also has a flue dr^ve of Young Stock, all of the Short Horn blood, which we shall speak more par­ ticularly of at some future time.-- Lovers of fine, pure blood cattle would be well repaid for a visit to Mr.Smith's farm, If for nothing more than to see this splendid youug Short Horn, "Gen. Sherman ON THE DKATH OP RKV. R. N. WIMtS. At a special meeting of the Unlver- salist Society of McHenry, ill., held at the close of the morning sen-ice, Sun­ day. May 16th, 1880, the announcement was made of the death of Rev. B. X, Wiies, a former pastor of their society. Upon motion, a committee of three was appointed to prepare a series of resolutions, expressive of their respect for the man atrl their sense of loss at the news of his death. The committee reported as follows: WHEREAS, Rev. B. N. "Wiles, who was for-a series of years, a pastor of this society, has been called to his last home. Therefore. Resolved, That as citizens we arlve this tribute to his sterling worth as a man, and HP a member of society, one always ready to help in every good cause by every means at his command. Resolved, That as"a member of this religious society fiver which he worked so^piig and so successfully as pastor, wfe recall with gratitude his labors in oil? midst in behalf of Christian trutli and manly living, Resolved, That we learn with sadness of his departure, and join with his widow in mourning the loss of one whom we mutually learned to love and respect and that we commend to her for consolation the great hope and faith which it was the life work of our brother to disseminate abroad In the world. Resolved, That a copy of these reso­ lutions be transmitted to his widow and also be furnished for publication iu the denominational papers, and the papers of this county. WAUCON OA- EDITOR PL AINDEALER:--Since your cor retoondent last ventured to Inflict the readers of Che PLAINDKALER, there have been several noteworthy occur­ rences hereabouts. We have had an election or two and while the writer, with a probable msjority. is perfectly satisfied with rest*#*, there seems to be a feeling of dlssatlsfaetlou regard­ ing the manner of obtaining them.-- We cannot indorse "dark lantern cau­ cuses" or "bossism." We hate the no­ tion. and are glad we hate it. To those who wonder "what difference It makes how a result is obtained If the result be satisfactory" we would sug­ gest chat a man may come to a ditch whtch he wishes to cross, there may be a hundred people near by who wish to see him safely over. Now he can brace himself like a man and leap the ditch, or he can lie down and roll through it or he can shove some inoffensive friend Into the ditch, use htm as a stepping stone and pass safely'and easily over. In either event he reaches the other side but to our mind there is a differ­ ence in the three ways of getting thero If there is a position of trust and hon­ or on the other side of that ditch, let every true citizen sit modestly by un­ til the people (not twe or three of them) come out and step over and a«k him to take it, then let him square his shoulders and 6tep over, man fashion. "Them's our sentiraeuts.n Lon Harris has moved his barber shop into the front room of the Booto building, on Mill street, just hack of the Hardware store, and Herman Mai- man has moved into the quarters va­ cated by Harris. Lon has one of the tastiest little '(tousorial palaces" In the county. Mr. Matman's increased stock necessitated this move. John Pratt has put down a new walk in front of his recent purchase, adorned the front with a new picket fence and made other substantial improvements about ills place, aud the end is not yet. so lie says. Mrs. Wm. Baseley has presented her husband with a flue baby boy, and our Druggist is the Papa of a very red- faced young woman about 5 weeks old. Something less than a dozen at­ tempts to get the shareholders of the Barge Club together to try and ar­ range for the launching of the craft, have all proved dismal failures, and there Is a growing feeling that the blanked thing may go to blank and be hang to it. Too bad, but how to help it? That's the idea. Our Postmaster has forwarded bonds and big ones too, and has reason to ex­ pect that by July 1st next, Wauconda will be a money order office, Mr. Halpln has left the cheese factory and Mr. Haven succeeds hiin. A Circus has been, a Circus was.-- Was it a Circus? The electric light was truly dazzling and yet kerosene is only 25 cents here. Rev. Jos.Mountain graduated last week with honors and is now a full- fledged A. B., A. M., B. D. He has several tempting Invitations to preach in large places, and while we will all be sorry tojliave him leave Wauconda, we must all wish him much success. E. A.

Campbell spent the Sabbath In Nnnda, the guest of Alva. He was ac­ companied by Alva's brother, from Rurlinfftou, Vermont. This Campbell is the man that Frost, the victim of Stewart, last worked for.' Some person poisoned Charley Ver- milya's dog on Saturday night, and we presume the party will poison several more before stopping. There is a goodly number of useless curs still run­ ning in our streets, but when the As­ sessor comes around and enrolls them at one dollar a lie ad, no oue will own a dog then. We were somewhat vexed at the W. C. T. U. meeting last Friday night to see certain onee munching peanuts during the entertainment. Geo. Best made his NundaP friends a call on Sunday last.

ProcessioiIisicJloral-OSeriiis Announcement of Committees. At the enthusiastic meeting Satur­ day evening arrangements for the ob­ servance of Decoration Day in Rich­ mond were made,so far as possible.-- The sentiment seemed uiianimous that every citizen should make it an indi­ vidual business to make the celebra­ tion of this National Holiday, sacred to the memory of our patrist dead, a grand success. The town of Hebron was ably represented at the meeting and arsurances given that her citfseus would heartily join with ours in the forthcoming event. The following resolution, expressivo of the feeling of the meeting was of­ fered and adopted by an unanimous vote. WHEREAS, Of all our National Holi­ days, Decoration Day is most worthy of proper observance, as showing our respect and veneration for the memo­ ries of the soldiers who. by a srrund and patient endurance through long years of war and by unexampled bravery on the field of battle evinced a heroism which is the national pride and boast, and who, sealing their devotion to our Country with their blood, preserved the Union which the Fathers estab­ lished. Therefore Resolved, By the members of the Loyal League and citizens present, tha* we will, individually and collect­ ively put fortli every effort to make the celebration of Saturday, May ioth. at Richmond, a success worthy the daj and its objects. Moved antf carried that the citizens of neighboring villages aud towns be cordially invited to join with us in the observance of Decoration Day, and that local committees be appointed for Genoa, Wllmot,Greenwood, Solon and Hebron, to co-operate with the committees in Richmond in making preparations for the celebration. The following committees were then appointed: Committee on Floral Decoration». Mrs J L Downing.

Benediction. ^ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMEMT. The CommlttM on Speakers are hap­ py to announce that the eloquent ora­ tor, FRANK CROSBY, of Elgin, III., will deliver the Oration ou Decoration Day. at 2 o'clock p. M. The simple announcement that Frank Crosby is to deliver the Oration will bring out an Immense concourse to hear the most eloquent man ill our sister county of Kaue. Each committee will spare no labor to perform its duties iu full thus as­ suring a completeness of arrangement and a harmony of action that will In­ sure the success of the celebration. Richmond's Grant Delegation at­ tended the County Convention Satur­ day, helping to represent the stalwart minority in that representative assem­ bly. The unvarying announcement of every vote was 103 to 72, but the Grant- ites stood up like the heroes of Titer mopylae, and died with their faced^ to the toe. Bui they were powerlesilbo do more than to show their good will, and had to let the Monder fellers" run the machine according to their own sweet wills--or rather, the will of John Southworth, who Wjas the Blaine Boss, and who had the programme ready made In his pocket. Had the Grant men of (ho Town of Dorr done their whole duty, the complexion of that convention would have been entirely different. A comity convention never had a friendlier contest. It seemed to be the conviction of o*ery delegate that principles are of more Importance than men, and that, who<*v«*r Is to be our standard bearer In the coming coutent, he should receive the undivided sup­ port of the party. Let tlie urant men hurrah for Blaine If he gets the nom­ ination, and let the Blaine men linrrah for Grant if he gets the nomination. The peril of this country is the possi­ ble supremacy of the old party of the Rebellion, the Democratic pai ty. ruled as It ever has been, and ever will be, by Southern rioters. I.et Republicans remember this and vote accordingly. Landlord Billet is yet pushing Im­ provements in the Richmond House, and will make it one of the neatest and most comfortable hotels III the country. Ed Garver Informs us that he Intends to open a paint shop In Richmond at an early day. „ An immense stock of trail- paper is op«n at Alexander A Hydes. , Dr. R. F. Bennett, of Elgin, came up on Mondrjr to assist his brotiier in an important surgical operation in the country. Remember that Frank Ctosby de­ livers the Oration in Richmond on Decoration Day. A. Bonner talks of closing his wagon shop and going west in quest of em­ ployment. The County Convention sat down on Mr. Ringlaud. That was right. He is too recent a convert to ask to be sent to Springfield. We believe in the Methodist system of "probation.* And this is said while holding not the slightest psrsoual ill-will toward Mr. Ringiaiul. An unprecedented affair took place at a late meeting of the village Board, being the presentation to the Board of five dollars, to be expended under Its direction, in erecting public hitching posts. The donor's name was not de­ clared. We may remark, however, that lie Is a man noted for his patriotism, and who spent a large portion of his property in the relief of our soldiers during the war. The Board accepted the gift, and tlie posts will soon be set. WOODSTOCK. EDITOR 1'I.AINDEALER:--'We might with propriety keen still this week, at we have so little to say. We hope your readers enjoy with us the charm­ ing spring weather we are having, and tlie unusually good prospect for an abundant supply of the fruits of the ground. Aud may we not lorget to be thankful. H.J., Ron of S. Van Curen, Is here from the West on a visit to his parents and friends. He leeks as though the climate out there agreed with him, and he is just as polite as ever. Wm. E.Smith and family, so long and favorably known among its. have 4*eturued from Springfield tw their old home here. May they uot regret the change. We learn that a son of P. W. Murphy Is employed In Kimball's Music Store iu Chicago. If all the boys iu our city could be furnished steady employment it would bo better for all hands. A game of base ball on the Fair Grounds Friday, between the Wood­ stock aud Marengo clubs, was wou by tlie former by a score of 32 to 31. We mentioned last week the sickness In Ohio of the oldest daughter of Mr. Hinglaud of tlie New i ra. She died before lie could get to see her. She was 14 years of age. Her disease was acute iinllainatiou of the stomach.-- This affliction, following upon tlie heels of his late severe loss by fire, calls out from those who know him, much genuine sympathy, and we sincerely ofler our huuihle share. We are informed that the Methodist and Universalis! churches are being repainted and otherwise Improved.-- We shall gather up in person such In­ formation as we can, as soou a* possi­ ble, for a future letter. Just now politics is the absorbing topic. The conviction is forcing It­ self up the minds ot thinking fair- minded men of all " classes that Gen. Grant and those who support him are not receiving fair treatment at the bauds of Mr. Blnine and his supporters, and as a very natural result the "silent tuan'. is gaining friends, while Blaine Is losing them. Tlie friends of Grant have indulged iu no abuse ot Blaine, and if the latter Is nominated they stand ready to accord him a hearty support. On tlie other hand "anything to beat Grant" seems to be the plat­ form, and some of the methods employ­ ed, mean* Use.), and Influences brought to bear, excite suspicion that there is ••something rotten In, Denmark." Our caucus here and the proceedings in Chicago Monday, have opened a good many eyes, and added much to tlie strength et the man the people seek to put again in the presidential chair- Any unfairness in the present contest will surely react with terrible force on the Iteads of those who practice It. By all means let us have fair play. We need say little about our oonnty convention. "The result was settled iu the primaries and tlie state convention this overshadows everything el«e.-- The gathering was generally harmoni­ ous. The tilaiue men had coutrol. We hear some criticisms ou the course of the chairman of the conven­ tion. but we are not sufficiently versed in parliamentary rules to decide the matter, and we were present only a portion of the time. We earnestly hope that all difference in the partv may be fairly and amicably adjusted, aud the nominee ef the Chicago con­ vention triumphantly elected. Our choice is Grant, but we shall cheerfully support the tuan the representatives of the party place In nomination. New Summer Millinery. Having Just returned from the city with a large stock of Summer Millinery, of the latest styles aud patterns, I am now prepared to open the Summer campaign iu earnest, aud make a general war on high Prices, wherever be may be found. My stock was se­ lected with the greatest care. Is large and comprises ali the latest style* of llals to be found in the city, which will be sold as cheap or cheaper than the same quality of goods cau be bought elsewhere. Iu short 1 will uot be un­ dersold. We invite all to call and ex­ amine our stock whether they want to buy or uot. Msi.H. B. NIOBOU. Great Change at Saylea* Hotel, 1c ox Lake. J. J.
