THE traveling public will do well to note the change of time in the run­ ning of trains. The express train which passes here at 8:21 for Chicago in the morning, is what was formerly known as the Ciscoette, and Is a great convenience and accommodation to the traveling public. The corrected Time Table can be found at the head of the Local column. J. E BEG. proprietor of the Geneva Lake Herald, announces that he will commence the publication of the Cisco for the third season. In former years It has bfaen a bright, newsy little sheet, and an honor to that famous summer resort, and we doubt not It. will be no less attractive the present season. >V> *ish the Cisco the success it so weTl merits. 5?* Miss MATTIE MCOM DEB arrived borne on Saturday last from a some- whatextended visit at Clifton, III.

WHILE in Woodstock a few days since we dropped in to see our old friend/* Bart" Austin, who is located in the building formerly used as Murphy & Bishop's Bank, and found hint in running order and doing a lively busi­ ness. "Bart" has hosts of friends in the county who will be sure to hunt him up -vhen in want of anything in the Grocery line.and as he payt> cash for Butter and Eggs, those who have these articles to sell will do well to call and see him. MKMOHIAU Seldom hM An event occitred In this community easting a ^deeper gloom over all hearts, than the death of Mrs. Elma Stevenson. "She had been ailing .for a number or weeks, but no one seemed to anticipate her danger until (a few days before her death^ when her disease assumed' a more serious form, and terminated her earthly life on last Friday morning.Mar 20t Sir§.Hf£veuson wasT^le daughter of Wesley Ladd. an ol^i and esteemed citizen of Rinjgwood. Her whole life was spent in this Immediate vicinity, and her face and form were familiar to us all. -She was always cheerful and carried a great deal of sunshine wherever she went. Her young com­ panions will long remember her as one of the happiest and most joyous ?f their number, and many times In the future will they speak of her who so often mingled with them in the pa$t. Mr. Ladd's is a grief stricken family. 'From the aged Grandmother to the youngest child, all are in deep sorrow. They feel however in their bereave­ ment that they have the heart-felt sympathy of the whole community. During herslckness kind frieuds were ever present to render assistance, and the family wish all those friends to know that their efforts in this direc­ tion will never be forgotten. The fuueral took pla'je, on Sunday, at the residence of her parents. In Ring wood. Seldom have we seen a larger gathering on any similar occa­ sion. Dr. Balch of Elgin conducted the services, delivering a discourse full of Instruction and valuable suggestions. A number of friends of the family from Burlington Wis. were present, and Mr. Edgar Carter and wife came, all the way from Jeflerfeon,lowa, to attend the funeral. Mrs. Stevenson was only nineteen years of age. One year ago she was in the schoolroom with tier young friend* in ail the bloom aud freshness of youth She leaves au infant child that knows nothing of a mother's tender care, but we believe that living hearts will watch over aud care for it.

A good sign ornament­ ing the front would pay as a business investment. ; WE would caH particular attention to the statement of the First National Bank, of Woodstock, which can be found in another place in this paper. As an evidence of the confidence which the people'have in this institution we would refer to the large Individual Deposits which this report shows, being no less a sum than $195,282.00. We re­ iterate whaf we have «aid before, that It is one of the best managed Banks in tire State, and deserves, as it hits, ^he -fi-ny tjji.i.-pjgc*. confidence of the community.

Mr ?laysou is a thorough business man, mil whatever lie takes hold of pushes .oSffir fullest extent.and with his« practical know ledge in this business Is sure to make a success. The estab­ lishment of this business.here will be a great help, a» it will give employment to a large number of boys and girls durir.g sehool vacation, and leave many a dollar where it is most needed. We understand that the picking of the blossom is comparatively no Injury to the Clover fields, consequently our farmers who have Clover patches can realize therefrom a double profit. We shall speak more of this hereafter. We predict for Mr. Clayson success iu this section. M- As cleaning house is now in order the ladi»s of course will put an extra thine on such stoves as the.? may leave standing. We therefore recommend all to buy tiic Lightning Stove Polish, as it is certainly the best iu the mar­ ket. I. N. Mead, Hardware dealer, near the depot, has it for sale.

Fore- paugh never has anything but a good show, and this year has added attrac­ tions never before shown on the road. Look out for the advertisement next week. 'HE dedication of the new Cheese Factory of Dorau & Toole, pn Friday evening last, was a 5very pleasant af­ fair. About thirty couples were iu at­ tendance, a::d under the inspiring mus­ ic of the MeHenry Qua<lrill'j Baud, en­ joyed themselves in the beat of man­ ner.

So say all the old settlers, aud the young ones also, yet somehow we find it diffi­ cult to "grow" a letter to the PLAIN* DE VLER texcept ev^ry other weeic. The country Is lpoklng its loveliest now. and Nature seems to have out­ done lierselt in covering tiie whole landscape with beauty.

The change of time of some and the adding of other trains makes business lively in and around the Depot during some parts of the day. The mail train from the north coming au hour earlier than formerly does not please the traveling public, as it makes the time of those wishing to visit the county seat too short. The railroad company would do themselves credit by making a change of a couple of hours the other way. For a fine glass of Soda go to .Dick­ inson's Drug Store. His fouutain is now in fine running order. Butler & Warner receive Fresh Strawberries daily and as fine as any that can be found in the market. Their stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, Ac., is also complete, and that their prices will compare favorably with any Is evidenced by their large trade. Dr. G. W. Horn is building a new store south of the Hyatt House, wiiiali -«iieu completed it is understood he will use as a Drug Store. Colbv Bros., iu Ballou's Block, have aflne line ot Summer Dress Goods, to which they invite the attention of the ladies.

The seasou is backward, you know, aud the time for troiiitig is not past by any means. ' A'week ago Wednesday W. II, Sey- utore had a narrow escapc from a se­ vere fall. While coming from Mo- Henry ills buugle suddenly struck a stump on one side, and a rut ou the oilier aud he was flung out. Beyoiul a few bruises he escaped unhurt Ou Friday Squire Bangs came near being seriously injured from being dragged some distance by a colt that he was driving, which started suddenly just as he was about to get iu the bug­ gy. Luckily he escaped with nothing much worse than a severe shaking up and the colt ias caught after ruuulug about a mile. The last club dauoe of the season was not exactly a success as the weath­ er was against it, and the members had .-juite a bill to foot, consequently the dividends will not be as large as was uxpected. Pratt's Hall was qui te well filled on Tuesday night, aud had it been more generally known that there was.to have been a dance that evening, there would have been more there. There seems to have been some en­ thusiasm started iu regard to base ball. Don't let it die out. Go In aud get -up a club that can give any other nine in the county a "basket of ^oose eggs/' We have the material and it would look too bad to see it go to waste. A good°game oil Old Settler*' Day would add much to the entertainment. That reminds us that it Is only six weeks more before tite Old Settlers meet.

A doctor was sent for in hatte and the usual restorative means employer!, and happily with success. He gradually recovered consciousness, becoming quite rational In three or four days, and on Sunday morning was able to be moved to the house of his brother James, some two miles dis­ tant. Mr. and Mrs. Shelden did every­ thing to make t\he unfortunate man and his uurses comfortable during his necesayry stay at their house. Such neighborly kindness should not pass by unnoticed. At the present writing Mr. Harness is hoped to be out of danger. be put up for a few hundred dollars. There will be no inconsiderable ex­ pense in repairing the many plauk; bridges over culverts on the Nipising flats, almost ail of'which are more or less damaged. If the Solon bridge could be located say eighty rods above its present location, there would be no danger of floods affecting it. or very little at any rate. But the fact is that the protection given the binks of the Nipising by the abutments of ihe Solon bridge where now located is thi salvation of the Solon water power, and an eflort to change the location would meet with opposition on that account. A small initial ditch across the flat south of the bridge would en tircly change the course of the stream in a season or two iwd destroy the mill power. But as It has lain Idle for many years, aud there seeming to be no prospect of its future improve­ ment, it is a question whether it is the duty of the Commissioners to main­ tain a bridge In the present location at a heavy public expense to save the power, if it would appear on investi­ gation that a change In the location would materially lessen the expense, and thus relieve the burden of taxa­ tion. One thing Is certain--that ,wherever the bridge is built, it ought to be a good one. on foundations that will stand beyond a peradventure. A make-shift structure would be the very poorest economy. THE NEW STOCK Of Dry Goods and Notions lust in *t Fltzslmmons & Evanson's deserves the inspection of buyers In this communi­ ty. Par.tleular attention is invited to a choice line of Plaids in flue liing- hams, which is new, stylish, and prices very reasonable.

A late number of the Colorado Sun, published at Grcely, contains the par­ ticulars of the suicide of Henry Mullen, on a sheep ranch, near that city. De­ ceased was a brother of Tom Mullen, and son of Mrs; Frank Richardson, of Richmond. Deceased had been ob­ served to l>e In low spirits f<5r some time, brooding over the fact of Ills having been pnt In an orphan asylum at an early age. He bad lately re ceived a letter from his mother, after which he became, apparently, more de­ spondent than ever, and be took a fatal dose of stiychnine to end h*s troubles. He was discovered by fellow ranch­ men before death, to whom he con­ fessed to having taken the poison. They started for the bouse, not far distant, but the unfortunate young man died before reaching It. He was about twenty years old. Owing to the very l*rge expense necessary to repair and r^-buiid tbe bridges damaged by the spfring floods the Highway Commissioners talk of calling an election, so the people may have a voice In the matter. The nec­ essary expenses being extraordinary, legal step* will be taken to secure aid from the counts'. Richmond lias a larger number of bridges to maintain than any other township in the county. There are np less than five main bridges across the Nipising. The one at Soloir ami the one kuown as the Skiuklfc Bridge, will have to be re­ built as well as numerous culverts.
