THE following from an exchange Is only too true: "When a road commis­ sioner fills up a small bushel hollow in a road, he dumps ten bushels of gravel Into It. This makes a nine bushel bump. One of the mysteries of this world is that a road commissioner will not carefully select a load of gravel free from stones, and pass along a road dropping just enough In each hole to till it--and no more. How ion}, oh Lord! how long will it be before sense --just a little common sense--shall be used In this most important of public works? THE last Legislature parsed a law .for the protection of cemeteries, that is just what is needed by the owners of cemetery lots. The law provides that any person injuring or destroying any kind of property in any cemetery, ave nue, or lot thereof, any person hunting or (hooting within the limits of such cemetery, or who shall violate the rules of any oemetery board,may be fined in any sum from Ave to one hundred dol lars, and fines to go to the cemetery association. Tbe law further provides that damages may be collected from the offender.

It was thought for a time thai she was fatally Injured, but under the care of pail went singing gaily down the dale, where a sad-eyed cow with a brindle tail on clover sweet did herself regale. A bumble-bee did gaily sail over the soft and shadowed vale, to where the boy with the shining patt was milking tbe cow with the brindle tall. The bee lit down on tbe cow's right ear, her heels flew up tbrough-the atmosphere --aod through the leaves of the big oak tree the boy sailed into eternity.-- Ex.

Music Band Quartette Recitation Miss Myrtle Stevens Music Band Reading Miss Lois Chase Inst. Duet ....Messrs. Richardson and Ntckle Wattles ft Parsons' Creamery, We last week made a short visit to the new Creamery of Wattles & Par­ sons, which Is situated on the farm of Mr. Wattles, two miles and a half southeast of this yillage, and promised to toll our renders in brief what we saw there. The building is 24x30, two stories high, with a leanto for engine room, 12x16. In tne basement is the Butter Making Department proper, it being in three departments, one being occupied by two large vats which con­ tain the cream preparatory to churn­ ing, another the work or churning room, and the third the cellar or cooler for storing the butter after packing. The front part of tbe upper story is the receiving roojo, while the remain­ der of the building will be finished off for other U9e. The water which rum through the building, is from a livingsprlng about forty rods from the Creamery, is pure and cool, and is brought into the Creamery by pipes, and the supply Is abundant. They have six teams gathering Cream, and cover a wide range of ter­ ritory, and as they are now making about five hundred pounds of butter a day, at an average of four pounds of butter to a hundred pounds of milk, they are consequently using the cream from twelve thousand five hundred pounds of milk, an amount full as large If not larger tipn is received by any of the Factories in this section. Tbe cream is measured by the guage, each can being marked, aud the gttherer has duplicate checks, which are punched, the patron retaining one, by which he can see at all times just what he is get­ ting. The excellent quality of butter manufactured at this Creamery has commanded a price from two to three cents above the market, and the returns for the month of May, we were told, were an average of 72 cents per hun* dred pounds of milk, skimmed, and at the same time the farmers have their sweet milk at home to use, ThU must be a great advantage and profit to the patrons as well. Everything about the place was as clean as Industry could make It. The machinery was all of the most approv­ ed patterns, 'and was operated by skilled and expert operators, a five horse power engine with a large boiler furnishing the 9tenm power. Wattles A Parsons1 Creamery, al­ though comparatively a new institu­ tion, having now been running but about three months, Is bound to be a success, as the amount of cream they are receiving Is Increasing every day by new patrons who are coming in. The proprietors are to be congratu­ lated on their success. Reading. Quartette Declamation.... Music Declamation.... •uet Reading. Male Quartette. ...

Under a law enacted by the Legisla­ ture, it became the duty of the Board at its July meeting to divide all voting precincts haviug over four hundred and fifty votes and thereafter to make the division immediately after each general election. The precincts to be created are to be composed of contigu­ ous territoiy and contain as nearly as practicable 400 voters, and in no ca6e more than 460. Pelliug places must be located !n each precinct, and the coun­ ty Board must design ftte these places, which must be on the ground floor In the front room o.n a highway or street at least 40 feet-wide, also "that such polling place shall not be in any saloon, dramshop, billiard hall, bowling alley ar place of resort for idlers or disrepu­ table persons, uer in any room con­ nected therewith by open door or hall­ way." Under this law they divided McHenry into two voting .precincts. The division is by a line taking in sec­ tions 2.3.4, 6,6, 7, 8, 9, 10,11, west half of 14,16,16,17, and 18 as the new Pre­ cinct, with voting pla^e at Rlngwood. The voting place for the old precinct Is at the Council Room, as heretofore. A Brass Band Composed of fanatic*. "Yessir; that is one of the best cura­ tives known," said Dr. Chase as a brass band marched in front of the Norrls- town Insane hospital. The musicians were all lunatics, and their troubles were of various descriptions. The band was organized about a year ago, and the members practioe from 4 to 6 o'clock every afternoon. The unfortu­ nate fellows take great interest in this form of amusement, and their perform­ ances were of a rather favorable sort. They were uniformed In a suit (dosely resembling that of the national guard. They were as proud of their new clothes and playing as a child is of a new toy. As they marched about the grounds and halted to serenade the board of trustees their faces wore as Eerious an expression as if they had assumed great responsibilities in offering to blow the horns and beat the drums. It is remarkable that these men read their musical notes readily and are perfectly tractable when performing. When the bandtnen saw that their efforts were appreciated some of them began to get excited, and they blew Into tholr horns and beat their drums with such increased vigor as to nearly knock the melody out of their playing. This is the third band composed of I sane people in the United States. Philadelphia Record, II If NBA.

Prepared *Sx press ty for the PLAINDBALER by Our Own Correspondent. CHICAGO, July 21,1885. The wheat market as compared with this day one week ago is three cents better, owing to the war cloud which is fast disappearing. Tbe market to­ day Is quite unsteady and weak and only for unexpected reports of excep- tionably poor turn out at the threshing machine, where the present crop has been harvested. Wheat will doubtless take a sudden fall to where it was a week ago. The hail storms In Dakota are estimated to have destroyed 10,000 acres of wheat which would average 26 bush, to the acre. The crop of wheat and other grains of that territory this year surpasses evetr the phenonilnal crops of past years. Corn Is rather weak with prices unsteady. Most favorable crop reports are received from all parts of the country and a good crop U assured. Oats are inactive with very little demand. Yegetables and berries are in a fair demand and lower prioes. The common grades of new Potatoes were sold at carload lots at $1.00 per barrel, while the fancy grades were retailed at from 75 to 80c per bush. Ten carloads of water mel­ ons were bought from the railroad com­ pany last week for less than the freight thereon, they having been refused by the parties te whom they were sent. Poultry, Butter and Eggs are in good demand. The Live Stock market Is In a very satisfactory condition. Cattle all around except Texans are selling from 15 to 40c better than one week ago. The receipts are just about good enough te sustain good prioes. Thertv Is a good shipping and export demand,' during the past week there has been a material increase In the reoeipts of H ogs also ij) demand. The grice has advanced ifr%o 25c, the hlgb^grades experiencing! "fhe greatest advance.

Richards, an employee of the Chicago Post Of&co, is taking a two weeks vacation, and spent last week with his mother and sisters in this city. He was accompanied by his wife. The Free Methodist tent meetings are still holding forth In this city. We do not hear that they are meeting with the success that was expected, and will undoubtedly close the last of the week. Hon. Ira R. Curtiss, of Marengo, shook hands with "the boys" here the first part of last week. He was In at­ tendance at the regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors, and was again elected chairman of that body. Dr. D. C.
