He has had a long and severe fit of sickness, and his many friends will be glad to see him around again.

"Will" looks as hearty and happy as ever, and as though neither storm or drouth had had the effect to take away in the least his usual good appetite, CHRIS FORRDRESCHER of Elgin ac­ companied by his two sisters* spent Saturday and Sunday in this village. "Chris" is always happy and good fea­ tured and makes everybody about hinii feel the same. This was, we. believe; the first visit of the Mioses Forrdres-J cher to this village, but they made] many.warm friends during their stayJ who hope they may see fit to come of-! ten.

THE Opening Party at the Parker House was attended by about fifty couples, and was a very pleasant and enjoyable afigir. The music was good, lie supper excellent, aud everything*'! passed ofl ia the most quiet and pleasant manner. Another "round up" was given on Tuesday, and all who attended report a gsod, socia­ ble time. It is now a foregone conclusion that t General Grant will attend the county fair. It is also a sure thing that W. n. Dwight, the leading boot and shoe dealer of McHenry County will exhibit at his store a mammoth $tock of boots. Shoes and Rubbers. Every man. wom­ an and child visiting the fair should see this sight. Corner M-*in St. aud Public Square, Woodstock. WE would call especial attention to the new advertisement of Stevens & Schnorr, to be found in another column. Their stock of goods for the Fail and Winter trade is equal if not superior to any ever before brought to this coun­ ty, and as they are live men iu the business they will not be be beat on prices. Read their advertisement clear through, It will pay you to do so. lissioners work. REMEMBER the McHenry County Fair will open at Woodstock on Tues- day next, and promises to be one of the best ever held by the Society. Secretary and Superintendant are deserving of gieat praise for the in­ defatigable manner iu which they hive worked to bring this result about, and the citizens of the county should not fail to loud a helping hand, to carry it through successfully. Read the programme in another place in this paper and make your arrange­ ments to attend three day? at least. THE Pigeon and Glass Ball Shoot at Fox Lake on Saturday last was well attended and there was some very fine shooting. The Pigeon shoot for a Purse of $17.50 to lir*t, §10 to sec­ ond and $7.50 to third, was won as fol­ lows: Johnson took lirst money, killing ten straight birds, Mudgett second, with nine birds, Felton and Curtis dividing third on a tie of eight. In the principal Glass Ball shoot Dayinent took first money, breaking fifteen straight Balls. We have not room for the full scores, but all pronounce it a most interesting time. THE officers of the society, the peo­ ple of Woodstock and the people of McHenry County are doing all they can to make the County Fair the best ever held in this State. In fact it will be more like a State Fair than a Coun­ ty Fair. Of course you are all coming and while in towu just call at Dwight's mammoth Boot and Shoe store, and examine his immense stock of fall aud winter goods bought expressly to ac­ commodate the vast throng attending the Fair. A pair of boots or shoes for every man, woman or child. W. H. Dwight, Corner Main St., and Public Square. Wooi>8TOCIT, ILU, ^I PT. 5th, 188L EDITOU PLAINI>EALEU:--'4'here is a Postmaster over In the West part of the county who seems to have a great liking tor a certain paper published here at the Hub, and when the soldier boys go to the office after the PLAIN- DEALER, which is the paper they all take, this P. M. wants to know what they take that sheet for and why they do not subscribe for the ; over at Woodstock. The answer is generally given him "we want the news." He may possibly have plenty of time ou his hands to convass for tfie Woodstock concern before the snow flies. L. M. ^laughter of the late Samuel H. Walker and Eliza H. "Walker, of Ringwood, and William A. Cristy, one of the firm ot Cristy, Walker & Co's. Vinegar and Pickle Factory, at McHenry, were cel­ ebrated at the residence ot the bride's mother, In Ringwood, last Wednesday evening. The nuptial ceremony was performed by the Rev. Win. Balch, of Elgin, and was witnessed by tho im­ mediate relatives and a few .Intimate friends of the parties only. The cos­ tume of the bride was exceedingly rich and elegant, yet beautifully mod­ est, a minute description of which will not be attempted.

The dining room was elaborately decorated thetable was loaded with all the deli- cacl^slhat the most active mind could Ir.vent and skillful hands prepare.-- After the banquet the scene was en­ livened by choice selections of niasic, furnished by Mrs, Minnie Smith, of Kansas, and Miss Nettle Borden, of Nuiula, Then the earnest and hearty congratulations of the guests were re­ ceived. i The bride and bridegroom left the following day for an extended trip across the continent to Caii fornia, de­ signing to make a visit of five or six weeks at the different places of inter­ est on their route to San Francisco, and upon their return tis hoped by their numerous friends they mav choo*e Ringwood as their future home The young couple start out in life with tho best wisheti of a host of friends* > who extend to them their best wishes Wa long and happy life. Rn-UNIOX OF THIS NINETY-FIFTH. The Annual Re-Union of the "95th Illinois Volunteer Infantry, which was held at Woodstock on Saturday last, was quite well attended, although not as well as it would have been had the wfeather not been so threatening in the morning. There were about two hun­ dred of tho old 05th, who, with their friends to the number of a thousand or fifteen hundred, seemed to enjoy them­ selves In the best of manner. The exercises at the stand com­ menced at about half past two, and the address of welcome was delivered by Mayor Joslyn. Tho crowd around the stand and the unusual noise pre­ vented U3 from hearing but little that was said., therefore we can onlv sav that the exercises consisted of short addresses by Mayor Joslyn. Prof. Bourne and others, the reading of a Poem by Dr. Bennett and Recitations by Prof, Denny, of Chicago, Inter­ spersed with music by the Band. The Poem by Dr. S. F. Bennett was one of his finest productions and re­ ceived commendations on all sides. It was beautiful iu language, patri otic in sentiment, and highly complimentary to the veterans of the old 95th, and that it was appreciated by them was evidenced by the eagerness with which a copy was sought after. The Recitations by Prof. Denny of "Sheridan's Ride" and the "Dying Zouave," were thrillingly beautiful, and wentstraight to the hearts of all. Prof. Denny has no superiors and few equals in this Hue, and all who hear him once are anxious to hear him again. The remarks of Prof. Bourne were in the main good, but one sentence lie uttered was an insult to a 1 arge num­ ber of the soldiers of the 95th. and was entirely uncalled for, even had a fa­ natical mind harbored the thought.-- We refer to his remark that "the as­ sassination of James A. Garfield was the result of stalwartism." Any man in the light ot facts and reason who can uiako such a charge at this day, must be classed among those who have allowed their prejudices to run away with their brains. Guiteau alone was responsible for tho as^ssination of President Garfield, aniLwe agree with him that there is not words in the En­ glish language sufficient to properly condemn the dastardly act, but to at­ tempt to charge it upon a class of men whose patriotism and manhood will compare favorably, with oven the speaker, is despicable. After the exercises at the stand were completed tho Veterans and their friends spent a few hours iu a friendly visit, and all went home feeling that they had spent a profitable and enjoy­ able day, and that the Re-Union of tho 95th fcr 1881 had been a success. hot strike while hU and those will read THfc OLD 13th.

The Wauconda sub­ scription is about §700 short of the necessary 67500, while the Lake Zurich subscription is sai«] to bo about $1200 short. We cannot believe it possible that a community which justly enjoys the reputation for enterprise and pub­ lic spiritedness that this community does, which has within its borders so many live, able men. will allow a move­ ment of this kind to fail for the need of a paltry 3700, or a sum t hree times as much, and hence we are, as we have been from the first, drin in the belief that the road will be put through.-- Judging from the way some of our leading citizens talk we have a very much better opinion of their good souse than they themselves profess to have. However only a few days more can possibly elapse before the "agony will be over" and the sister toxins be either turning green with envy of our p.luck and success or poiuting at us with scorn and derUioii.

The rains, after the long drought, were received with much thankfulness by everybody and especially dairy­ men, whose income was being serious­ ly interfered with on account of dry and short pasturage. Farmers say the corn will not be benefitted much as It was too near maturity before the rains came. This crop is now being cut as fast as possible. While.at Woodstock last Saturday Mr. Bourne Informed us that one dol­ lar per bushel hah been ottered in that city for cucumbers. When we consider that a cucumber contains just about as much nutriment as the same number of cubic inches of Fox River fog, the price seems rather steep. But one thing is sure, and that is, that. In ordi­ nary seasons, cucumbers must be a profitable crop for the farmer and tbe gardener to raise, as the product is from one to two hundred bushels per acre. The increase of pickle factories iu the lait few years, must show, too, that there Is money In that business.-- Why isn't there enterprise enough among our farmers and monied men to start such a factory in Richmond? It would be a mutual money making speculation for both parties. NEW THIS WEEK. MRS. H. II.
