THE editor of ;the Manitowac, Wis., Tribune has fallen heir to a large fortune. He had better get out of the publishing business at once, and not tempt Providence by remaining in it a day longer.' THERE is a very nice Sunday School piece entitled "Put your ^rtnor on my boys." There is one young lady in this town that does not like to hear it. She says it sounds like "Put your arm around me boye" and it makes her feel lonesome. WE learn that L. Stoddard has bought the Morse residence, just north of the Public Square. Also th%t .John Flusky has bought the residence of David Parker, near the Parker House. Mr. Parker, we understand, will move "o a farm in Lake County. The County Fair opened on Tuesday, and with the favorable weather we shall expect to see a big crowd 011 the two last days.

A re ward of $50 is ofjered for the recovery of the property' and capture of the thief. Read the description in the no tice and keep a good lookout for the villians. A PLEASANT little party gathered at Grand Hall on Saturday evening last, and^enjoved a few hours in a real social manner. The gathering was gotten up in honor of the Misses Jones, of Darien Wis, who are visiting with friends In this village. Dancing was the order of the evening, and the party broke up a little before twelve, all agreeing that they had had a pleasant time. LIKE the stumps of a primative forest.

PETF.R ARVEDSOV. Death of Miss Mollie Searles- It ' is with feelings of the utmost sadness that we are compelled this week to announce tli<* death of Miss Mollie Searles, second daughter of Smith Searles, who died on Tuesday night, after a painful illness of le6S than two weeks. Mollie was a young lady of an amiable and agreeable disposition, whom to know was to love and respect. Lively and cheerful at all times, her pleasant voice and agreeable ways will be sadly missed bv old and young. Her parents and sisters have the heart felt sympathy of all in their severe affliction. H. H.NICHOLS the "Ross' ' Painter in this section, has been doing a rushiu? business since he opened his shop in January last. His shop has been full of wagons and buggies the entire time, arid 110 sooner was one finished than another took its place. Tills is a sure guarantee of his superior workmanship and it is a fact'that when a buggy comes from under "Tips" experienced hands It is perfection Itself. Since January last he has Painted Sixty-Si* Buggies, Wagons and Cutters, besides doing a large amount of other Painting:. sucli*as House.

' -- ^ | | M • ' THK MC'UKRN MASTODON COMING. A Monster Show. The Great Van Amburgh's Golden Menagerie and Frost's Roman Circu6 and Colosseum will exhibit at McHenry on Monday next, Sept. 13. Without a doubt, this is the largest consolidated show now traveling. It has been be fore the people of this country for over fifty years, and for thirty-five consecutiye years under the manage ment of Mr, Hyatt Frost. In this stu pendous aggregation will be found twenty-two cages of wild animals, birds and reptiles--compiising a rare collection of over 500 living curiosi ties. Besides those in cages, the show has the largest elephant in this coun try, the only two-horned Rhinoceros in America, a herd of camels. A circus company composed of over forty of the principal equestrians, acrobats and athletes in the profession. The num ber of horses employed in transporting this huge institution is ISO, and the number of men, women and children, including performers, is 1G5. The great Van Am burgh show has always been one of the leading institutions of this country, and we are assured that the combined menagerie and circus this season is fur superior to all former ones. That the great show will meet with liberal patronage in McHenry will not admit of a doubt. It is merito rious as an exhibition, and its reputa tion for upright and honest dealings with citizens, lias gained for it a name most enviable. Remember the show will be here next Monday. TUB Fair is this week, but Fitzsim- & Evansou are always fair in their dealing* with their customers, and will give you more goods for the same money than any other tirui in the county.

Wesley Ladd, of Ringwood, with his wife and daughter, started,on Monday, for a trip East. He will visit Boston, New York and histoid home In New Hampshire, and will be gone about six weeks. Mrs. S.

Van Am burgh & Co.'s Great Golden Menagerie has been consolidated with Frost's Roman Circus and Colosseum for the season of 1880, and will pitch its thirteen tents in McHenry, on Mon day next, September 13. This is the 60th consecuti ve year of the Van Am- bnrgli menagei ie--the oldest show orr gauization in the world--which has always been recognized as the leading exhibition of wild animal", both in this country and in Europe. As years have gone by, the Van Am burgh show has striven to keep pace with the times, and to-day, it boasts of a greater va riety of beasts, birds and reptiles than any other exhibition 011 the continent. The present consolidation with Mr. Hyatt Frost's Roman Circus and Col osseum, places the combination in the very foreground of all institutions of a like character. A perusal of the ad vertisement in this week's paper will convince the most skeptical of the real merits of this gigantic aggregating The monster show, as now organized, gives constant employment to over 250 laborers, and has a troupe of nearly 100 lady and gentlemen performers; among the latter no less than twelve equestriennes, and of the latter the only female hurdle rider in the world. It requires 110 prophet's pen to see that we are to have a superb show, and we predict crowded tents at each per formance. Read the advertisement in this week's paper. WOODSTOCK EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:--It is some thing new under the sun to ballot forty three times for slierift in a Republican convention for McHenry County, and the manner of reaching the final result is severely criticized by the friends of the defeated candidates, and the Dem ocrats are laboring quite enthusiastic ally, endeavoring thereby to create a schism, thus wishing, (the foundation is not sufficient for hoping) to be able to slide in a Democrat. Ask Asa about that hat. and if he does not give you satisfaction go to Diesel. The weather is 011 the smiling side of Nature once more and the friends of the Fair arc indulging hopes of good weather and a successful Fair. Some of the Democrats slid out for Joli.nsburgh this morning. The political waters are serene and undisturbed. Thus far if It were not for some of our street orators we would hardly know it to be presidential year. We have a Garfield and Arthur club, but the executive committee work so silently that little or nothing is known of its doings. Cider making is in fulljblast down at Jewctt's.on the Montgomery place. The Methodist Church will furnish refreshments to those who hunger an,d thirst during the Fair. WAUCONOA- EDITOK PLAINDEALEII:--The rainy weather is still a legitimate topic here, apropos of which comes our "muse" and pipes out thusly: A farmur who lives towards Volo, Kemarke<1 in a voico tuned quits low , J us: after a rain 1 Tlie ru4<td 11111 ku me nrofane, When <tmva to WuHCOuaa I go. The fact has been noted tp this cpl- umn that when there isuHuiuoli of any thing done there is little to write about. Now how In the name of com mon sense could anybody go anywhere or do any thlng'the week past ? Uuless perhaps, they saw fit to sit by the window and wonder when gthe rain would let up. The community was suiprlsed and shocked 011 Monday last to iearn that Mr. Hugh Courtney, who had been for several months in the Lake Superior country had there died and that tiis body was then 011 its wav to this place for interment. The funeral occurred on Saturday last and was largely* at tended. We are informed that Mr. Henry Mcge'rs, who lives a short distance east of this village. haV.lng'showu signs -of mental aberation, his friends found it necessary-to have him taken into cus tody and .placed in • an asylum. Mr. Megers buried a fourteen year old ion about two weeks ago, since which time he has been at times quite violent. Rev. Mr.-Greeifhas secured a lease of the residence owned by Mrs. Amity Smith and will shortly move from Har rington. About noon 011 Friday last, a wind cloud passed over this section doing considerable damage in the way of opening up the sprouting grain s;acks, laying low the cornr(some fields looked as though an immense roller had passed over them) and other such fan tastic freaks peculiar to wind storms. Fortunately, nothing really serious occurred near here, although reports from towards Half- Day claim many barns and outbuildings overturned and destroyed. Mr. II. D.Wells, It is said, will leave here on Monday, the sixth, to take the position of card writer in the Rotunda of the Palmer House. Chicago. Dr. Barker returned to Chicago 011 Saturday evening last, ills presence here as Mrs. Burritt 's atteli lant, being no longer considered necessary. Jf the visiting ones (who, though tliej' call from the best motives, would be doing a greater kindness not to call at all.) do rtot succeed in tiling Mrs. Burritt out, she will soon be able to be up and about. Owing to the bad roads, only about 25 eon pie were out to the bowery dance of Saturday evening last. The music was excellent as usual, and a very pleasant time was had. The M essrs. Kirwin, Jim. Ed, John and Arthur, arrived here from the West Sunday Morning with their cov ered rigs and teams, looking as natural as life. "Not any moreJwesi in mine, if you please." An election was held just after the Sabbath school serviof* on Sunday last in the Baptist Ctiurcii which resulted in the choice of the Rev. Mr. Green^ for Superintendant of the Bnnday School for the coming year, in place of Mr. B. K. Duers, who at that time in a very neat little speech tendered his resignation. Should Mr. Green prove to be a better Superintendant than Mr. Duers has been, he will indeed prove a good one. Chris Thomas don't seem to be so ex uberantly happy (all the time) as usual. We'll be "gol darned" if we can see how or why fifteen or twenty bolls on a man's arm at one time should make him any the less smiling, but "gol darn my picture" they do. Richmond Department.

William Killey, an old resident of Richmond, was found dead in bed last Friday morning, lie had complained some for two or three days previous to hi* death, but his family had felt 110 concern for his'safety. He was a native of the Die of Man, and settled in Mc Henry county many years ago. Appo- ploxy or heart disease is supposed to have been the cause of his sudden death.

Mr. James Aldrich has taken advan tage of the last few sunny days and now has the cellar walls laid for his new building.

This edifice will be of a handsome brick and when finished will be handsome addition to the town and one of the neatest build* ingg in the county. The upper part will be a large hall for the use of the Masonic fraternity. The old store has been removed to its resting place across the street and as fast as possible is being refitted for the occupancy of Mr. Cheviiliou, who intends to continue his business in the same. We are sorry to know that diphtheria iiiasevere form, ha&again made its appearance in this vicinity, in the family of Mr. Henry Krumpen, three miles north east of the village. One child a bright little girl, died on Thurs day, and four more of the family are very sick at the present time. The disease seems to have been taken to tjie house by visiting friends who had lately had it in their own family. We have time and again repeated the warning as to tiie contagiousness of diphtheria. We doubt if any intelli gent Physician now believes that tiie disease is not, in common parlance "catching.'" Only the most thocoghu disinfection of the house or the cloth ing where the poison lias made a lodge ment, can destroy its power to give tiie disease. Adults are not very likely to become affected, but children are, and should never be uni.ecessariiy ex pos«>d by allowing them to go where it is, or be with persons who have lately bad it, or been with it.
