A St. Jacob's Day Party was held at the residence of Jacob Bishop, iu this village, on Sunday last,and was attend­ ed by one hundred and fifty-six Invited guests. These days are grand social times 'with our German friends, but this one, i n point of numbers far ex­ ceeds any we have ever heard of in this section. They enjoyed the entire day and evening- in the most social and pleasant manner, and sat down to a dinner, gotten up by Mrs. Bishop, that was an honor to the occasion. There was enough and to spare. The festivi­ ties were kept lip until the "wee sma' hours" of Monday morning, when all departed for their homes, but not be­ fore they Iiau left some tokens of their estenin in the shape of several very valuable presents to Mr. and Mrs. Bishop, for whicli they wish in to re­ turn ihanH?. It was a day long to be remembered with pleasure by the participants, CHINA WKDHINO- One of the most enjoj able events Of the season took place at the residence of E. Cropley, in the town of Richmond on Friday afternoon and evening, July 18th,said occasion being the 20th anni­ versary of the marriage of Mr. C. and ,wife, which will be long remembered by tlie many guests who were present to participate in the enjoyments which were1 provided by the kind host and hostess. The guests numbering In all about 160, were made to feel perfectly at home. The six o'clock tea which was served in due time was simply delicious, after which a part of tiie guests took their departure In order to make room tor fresh arrivals in the evening, or return themselves as their fancy dictated. As the evening drew nigh tlie house was filled to overflow­ ing. good music being furnished by M ason Brothers and J. Smith, which the dancers enjoyed to the best of their ability until the midnight hour, when refreshments were again brought fortii and the company bountifully served, alter which dancing was continued until the wee small hours. The esteem in which Mr. Cropley and wife are held by the community, will be shown bv the number of presents botli u?e fill and ornamental, among which weie a decorated tea set, a hanging lamp, twelve silver knives and forks, a gran­ ite iron and nickle plated teapot and earthen stand, fancy salt and pepper stands. The above named articles were presented by A. L. Austin and wife, T. Sheldon and wife, B. Frcshney and wife, L. Austin. II. Booth and wife, VV. Stephenson and wife, F, Chapin and wife, Sirs. P.

Elfers, 910, Frank Weller, 910, Mr. Cropley to wife, easy chair, Mrs, Cropley to hus­ band. All of which were wero highly appreciated by tiie family. We must not forget to add that Miss Jennie and Emily were untiring in their eflorts to make the gathering a success In every particular. The only drawback to the days entertain­ ment was that Mr. Cropley as host had no time to trade, buy or sell stock or farms. I would advise all that were not present to participate in the en­ joyments. to endeavor to get an Invi­ tation to attend tiie silver, golden and diamond weddings wliieh are in the future. 15Y ONE THAT WAS PRESENT. THE Insane Dodge in murder cases Is becoming so very common it may be expected any minute that some bright lawyer will spring up and de­ clare that Eve was laboring under a fit of emotional insanity when she ate the apple, but no one wiuld bring such an accusation against a lady for using DeLand's Chemical Baking Powder. Hardest Picnic. The growth of the Queen Ann Annua) Harvest Festival has been so rapid that it now ranks with the most popular social institutions in tiie county, and requires only an announcement to at­ tract the attention of the working classes. The next Harvest Festival will take place upon the old grounds, in Michael Senger's |frove, on the 14th of August. There will be appropriate l i terary exercises, to commence at 11 o'clock a. m. There will be an entire re-arraHgement of grounds, and ample accommodations for all to come with their baskets well filled and enjoy a gala day with the people of Queen Ann. A special invitation to the industrial classes of the vicinity. M. J. WKIGUT , Pres. H. Iff. Tow Kit, Secy. Spring Pigs for Sale.

Iain nlmost sorry I jiavc that, eonveisution in the Postofflce away,for lastSaturday while I was sitting in the Park refreshing myself the candidate for a third term came to me with a PI.AIXDKAI.ER in his hand ami pointing to the article in it , said, .hysterically, "Is that yonr vvoik? lie looked so tighxiitgaboutrhis eyes that I replied, "now?" and declined at once to answer. Ho said he thought i t was me for he had neiiced me hanging about the Post- office a great dead of late, -find 2 assure yon it was fearful the way he went ou. l ie said 1 was his enemy, going about listening to every thing he »ai<l and then linking it public , .rop erty; he also saw the ollice he had held for two long terms slipping from him, ana he laid t to ine. I trieit to.pacify l . im. and told him I had always voted for him and in fact that he was the only Demociat I ever did vote for, and that I was not ashamed of i t . either, for lie had made a good Circuit Clerk, bnt, said I : ""ion know, Kmery, that you aie not entitled to it longer; i t is a good office and ther»- are other good Republicans who would like to serve one term for the liberal salary it pays. '* But he kept getting redder in the face and soon large drops of perspiration started upon his forehead and tearing the newspaper in pieces and trampling it under his feet he said he was sorry the friendship existing between him and niyselt was at an end; he had plenty of help to run the office that did not cost him much of anything, and that he was going to get the ofti^e if he could. While he was talk- ing, Dell Wright. , the Secretary of.the Ajn-i- cultural fair, came up holding a letter which he said was from soipe . 'c\ ,general ' of the war and that he was getting lots or 'em. His ex­ cited manner attracted a farmer from liidge- Il3ld to the spot who arrived just is time to- hcar Dell say "I am• tsorry Morse is running for the office. He is a good tellow;if he weuld only wait he might sometime be elected to some office. You ought to have seen thai farmer straighten up, and facing our Secre­ tary, say: ' if any one is to wait, let Mr Richards here wait. He has been in the office now eight years and lie can afford to wait. Xow, Mr. Richards, we farmers are friendly to you; von have made a good clerk and all that, but what on earth is the use of keeping one man in the best ofllce in the county all the time. \Vc farmers will oppose you on the principle that long coutinr.auce mofllcebrings with it the inevitable tendency to create rings and leaders who become at last to think that the office they hold belongs to them and be,, longs to them for life, something like a divine right, therefore any detestable moans is justi- liable to keep them in otllee. There was an attempt of a great Republican ex-genera! (perhaps it is tliu one my friend Wright has a letter from) a man entitled to as much favor as any living, to be elected to an ollice for the third term, and you ail know that It was v signal failure. The people said in language not to be mistaken thereareothcr distinguish- eit soldiers and citizens entitled to our con- sideration. N>. Mr. Ricliiuds, there are t»i many frec bom Republicans of McHenry County who would not"object to a good oilice» to keep you in all the time. Morse shall not wait, and you can get ready to get your eld abstract books, your law blanks, your real esta te books, your insurance agency and other personal 'property out of that Court House next Kovember, for Mr. Morse will have to move in." Richards said nothing, but his musical breaSt heaved visibly. The farmer kept on talking as natural as life while cevernl mechanics who arc out of a job joined the group. One of them interrupted the fanner by saying "Richards, you can't connt on the walking, men's support. The laborin^men have practi. cally determined not to vote for* a man who after they ha ve given him the money to build large houses with, sends to Chicago to gel his work done, while they are on t of a job," I shall never forget the idol; of poor Kinery as lie looked around with a beeching look aiid said . " 'Isn't there any one here for ine?" There wasn't anybody, for MiY "Seciclary" Wright had changed when he found how the farming community felt . Just then, don't you think, Gard Southworth and Mac Church came along. TliCv had been to get a drink of (mineral water of course). Mac is the only other third-term candidate in town, and <iuitc a pet of Richards in consequence of this fact. . When he found out what had been said lie tore around frightfully, and delivered one of the most extraordinary, extemporaneous criti­ cisms I ever had the misery of hearing, l ie was in favor of a Hiiid, :i font th and a fifth term, and it i t hadn't been for these same d--n fools he might have been Sheri 'fl" yet. While he was talking up came \v. II. Dwight* Mack moved off, saying he couldn't stand tiie company. At last it came time for Southworth to talk; the invigorating influence of the mineral water is very powerful and he had to talk. I must (ell you what he said; more in sorrow than in wrath he commenced: "Personally, I am under obligations to Rich­ ards, and shall work for hiin at the caucus but my position in society here,and the carry^ ing out ef the work of moral improvement in which lam so actively engaged compels me to say as lit t le ab«ut it in the ScntMcliis possible, but there has been somebody reporting my private views to the PLAINDEALEK. I would like to know who it is." , My situation was becoming disagreeable; fear and curiosity alone prevented ine from walk ing.away from the wrath I felt was to come. Gard said .vhoevor the fellow was there was no pur islnnent here or hereafter sufficiently severe to meet his case. I thought it but becoming and proper in me to leave, so while he was talking I carefully withdrew If I learn from any of the chaps who rsmaincd what lie said, 1 may report it at another time.
