ON Saturaday last Constable mau received a dispatch from Marshal Powers, of Elgin, in relation to one Frank Sexton, who had left Elgin the night before for tills place, and was supposed to have stolen a Gold Watch and twenty-five dollars iu mouey. An answer being returned that be Wat here, Marshal Powers started at once for this place. In the meantime sex­ ton, togetlver with au accomplice by the nahie of Robt. Hi lies, also of Elgin, had disposed of the Watch to O. W. Owen, of this village, and were having a high old lark, taking the ten o'clock boat for the Picnic at Mlddendorft's Grove, Fox Lake. Marshal Powers ar­ rived about noon and was immedia­ tely driven to Fox Lake by Constable Wiglitman, where the gay and festive youths were captured, put iu irons aud brought to this place by the evening boat. About 820 of the money was foncd upon their persons, the balance' probably having been squandered dur­ ing the day. They were taken to El­ gin on Saturday evening, where anex- aininatlon was held, and they were bound over iu the sum of $300 each to appear at the next term of the Circuit Court. They will undoubtedly go,t a term in Jollet. AN individual made his appearance in this village about ten days since, and in getting himself Into the good graces of our citizens, represented him­ self to be a Detective belonging to Pinkertou's force, Thompson by name, and that lie was here for the purpose of capturing a notorious horse thief who was suspected to be in tlifs vicini­ ty. This open pretense of being a Detective ought to havo been enough to condemn him as a fraud, as this class of persons are not xpt to Set their calling be known so uasily.but it seems In this case he found several who were willing to he gulled. He stopped at the Parker House, and getting a team from the Livery there started out to hunt for his Imaginary thief. But when he returned it was a sorry tale he hail to tell. The buggy was all smashed to pieces and the harness badly demoralized, and this was the story he t$ld: He had captured his thief, and handcuffed liim, when the ferocious monster turnod upon him, knocked liim down and made his es­ cape. During the melee the horses took fright and ran away, doing the damage before mentioned. But as near as we can learn the facts of the case are these: He is no detective at all but a dead beat of the first water, aud was here for altogether a different purpose than that named. It was while sneaking around a place he dare not go openly that Hie team ran away doing the damage above stated. He of course was ready to pay all dama­ ges, &u., but not having the where­ withal, that, together with his board, remains unsettled yet. On Tuesday the landlords at the Parker House con­ cluded that forbearance had ceased to be a virtue, consequently canst;d his arrest, and he now languishes iu Wood­ stock jail. That he Is a dead beat of the first water there can he no question His real name is supposed re be Chas 1 Chapman, and lie has figured quite ex­ tensively of late In the criminal calen­ dar of Chicago. He is an oily-tongued slick looking rascal, who l* liable to de­ ceive the unsuspecting. It Is to be hoped that this Is the turning point iu hi« career, and that he will now get his ju«C deserts.

In respond to the appeal heretofore made, a number of our esteemed citi­ zens gathered at the Cemetery ou Sat­ urday last, and the effect was a general renovation. For years its appearance has not equalled that of the present.-- We are glad to know that there are some people who amid the busy strife of life have veneration for those who have only gone a little before. The ladies of this place will.meet at the residence of Geo. Smith, on Satur­ day next, for the purpose of organiz­ ing a Womans Foreign Missionary So­ ciety. We sincerely hope that the ef­ forts put forth in this direction may be crowned with success and trust that the ladles will *tand firm and not be discouraged by the action of any inaf- fcctive opponent. It is a well known fact that no matter how praiseworthy the motive may be, there is uuexcep- tioually some character who Is aching for a "spread" and in order to accom­ plish i( will place himself on the op­ posite side.

Well, perhaps It is as reasonable to ed­ ucate a girl's feet as her fingers, but somehow we are so old fastoioued that we would rather see our girl educated to make her own dresses, mend her 'own stockings, cook a good dinner, do a neat washing, etc* if those things had to be sacrificed to the dancing school. But if a young lady can have these iudispensiblc accomplishments aud the dancing and the piano too, all right. Lip go both hands in an affirm­ ative vote.

They have also offered liberal premiums to all who are willing to compete iei the various departments. Now the ques­ tion is: "Will the farmers, mechanics, artizans, men and women of the clashes who represent the different in­ dustries, skill and taste of the county do their part iu making the Fair a Miccess?"

The music was furnished by our !ocal band, assisted by Mort Rogers, of Lake Geneva, and was good. If the Rich­ mond Quadrille Band keeps on Improv­ ing. It w'.ll very soon need no outside help. The supper. In ail its appoint­ ments, was, as usual, at the Richmond House, unexceptionable. People who like to dance are finding out that they needn't go by Culver's. We wish, for his sake, that this party might have lieen a larger one, but no doubt 1t big­ ger crowd will be out next time. Marie Bennett, of Barring ton Station* 111, and Chty», Bennett, of Elk Point, Dacota, made us a pleasant visit last week. "Charley"' learned the "Art preservative" in our office at Elkhorn, mmv years ago, but seeing that "West­ ward the star of Empire makes its way." he followed that star, and finally located in Dacota. He set type in the wilds of the far West, established a ranch of his own, and la now engaged, iu the stock business--especially horses. He has furnished the Govern­ ment large numbers of horses, and has made his pile. When we met the ma­ ture. shrewd business man, we could hardly realize it was the tall stripling who left our home so many years ago. He is thoroughly Imbued with the Idea that there is uo country; illje the West. _____ Richmond sportsmen were out bright nnd early the 'first morning of the open season, and a few good hags were secured.

Others same in wi:h two or tluee birds aud some without a feather. Many of the lairds were shot off before the season opened. There are always some sneaks iu every neigh­ borhood, who will violate law and com­ mon decency by slaughtering young birds before they are lisrdly fledged. The consequence is, sportsmen, who wait until the season opens, finds the coveys broken up or destroyed, and wild as hawks. A* the slaughter is go­ ing on. It is a question of but a short time when that uoble game bird, the grouse, will become extinct In tbls part of the country. MTfLL THKV COMK, LACROSSK, Wis., AOS. 11* ML A.#. Wamiit.
