You know the rest. DIED.--In the town of Randall, Wis Richmond, of apoplexy, BENJAMIN FRANK­ LIN GIBBS, aged 74 years, 11 months and SS days. Mr. ttibbs was born in the town of Itethel, Winsor Co , S. Y. About the .year 183* he came West and located at Plumb tirove. III., where, in 1838 he' was married to Jane R. Miner, who survives to mourn his loss. The Iruit of this union wis a family of nine chil­ dren, four boys and Ave girls, of whoai three beys, Charles, Albert and Herbert, and three girls, Mrs.Carrie Vosburgh, Mrs. Hattle Bene­ dict and Mrs. Kate Beiitelle, are yet living. About the year 1S4S Mr. Uibbs settled In the Town of Randall, upon a beautiful farm of MS acre*, lying contiguous lo Twin Lakes, where he has ever resided up to the time of his death. , Mr. Gibbs was one of those quiet men of sterling worth, who are most esteemed by those who know them best. His life was one of singular probity, and his death will be la­ mented by an unusually large circle of friends and acquaintances. He was one of those men whose word is as good as their bond. Hi* kindly, neighborly qualities were universally known and conceded and few men finish their allotted term in thi* life, and at death leave so fen who may be enemies. The universal feeling is that a good man and a kind neighbor has gone to rest, and many helffts, outside his own family will IM saddened at news of his sudden death. A few days ago Hr. Gibbs was tt»ken with a "dm? spell," which gave warning of the ap­ proaching catastrophe. Dr. E. B Bennett was called to see him two or three days later, and gave the family warning that anxiety might be felt at his condition, but few sup­ posed the end was so near. At the time of his death an astendant saw a sudden change in his appearance and called In his son Herbert, who found him breathing heavily, and raised bis head from the pillows, when he expired in a few moments, being stricken with sud. den cerebral hemmorrhage. or apoplexy. The funeral was held at his late residence on Monday, and was attended by a very large concourse of mourning and sympathising friends. The Rev. Samuel Earngy, of Aurora, formerly In charge of the Richmond and He­ bron Methodist churches, was In attendance* and preached the funeral sermon over the re­ mains of his old and respected Iriend and pnr- ishloner. The burinl w.as in Mound Prairie Cemetery, near Twin Lakes. The bereaved widow and the family have the heartfelt sympathy of the community In their bereave* merit. THE new Boiler for the Steamer *'Mary Griswold," arrived on Friday last. It is made entirely of steel, is 64 inches in diameter, 10 feet high, con­ tains 132 flues, weighs 6900 pounds and cost, as she now lies at the dock, up­ wards of 1600. It #a8 made by O. Mason A Co.. 100 North Clinton St. Chicago, and is a splendid piece of workmanship. Captain Hill saw It tested by hydrauli<- pressure to 17S pounds per square inch, aad he invites an inspection by all who are interested In such ma'ters. Now that the "Mamie" Is in running order anil making almost daily trips, workmen will be employed on the "Mary Griswol 1" and a few weeks will see her ready for commission. The "Mamie" is In charge of the J.inior Captain, Alfred Qiil, who has been with his father on these waters seven years, and is well acquainted with the steam boat business. He is deservedly popular, not only as a McHenry young man, but among the numerous patrons of our river and lakes. During the summer months the "Mamie" will probably be stationed at Fox Lake, the "Mary Griswold" taking the river trade, transfer!ng the East shore passengers of Fox Lake to the "Mamie" at Sayles dock and vice versa. The regular trips now are Wednesday,Fridav and Satur day, leaving McHenry at 5 p. M.. re turning at 8, Thursday, Saturday and Monday mornings. Alterations of time table will be duly announced. r EVERYBODY KNOWS That Henderson's Boots and Shoes are the best. We sell lots of them.-- Perry A Owen's, Sole Agents.

As defendent's council stated Circuit Court sits In May and the law term of the County Court not till November. The Board of Auditors for the town of Nunda, met to Esq, Beardsley's office on Saturday last. Cam Golf Is In trouble with his tenant, and has served notloe on him to quit. There Is some dispute as to who should receive the reut. More crookedness among the Rail­ road men at Harvard, han lately been brought to light by Dectlve Lafe Benthusen. At the last term of the Circuit Court a dosen or more Rail­ road men from there were arranged for stealing coal from the yards at that place. Most of them pleading guilty received fines, and a term in Jail. One for attempting to steal a detec­ tives watch received two years In the penitentiary. And now come a forty thief. For a long time other valuables besides coal have been missed from in regard to theCraine Bridge freight cars at that place, and the necec*lty" for Its construction i* All Standard Goods, boose of R. Bishop. at the Ware- It, detectives have failed to bring tbe larceny home to any one. A short time ago Benthusen undertook tiie matter. After looking the ground over, ex­ amining., different parties who had been suspected, he at last singled out a man who occupied a prominent posl ion in the Depot there, and one on whom the breith of suspicion, or scandal had never dared to rest. It was no less a personage than Ed Shulis, the ticket poller. And when aftnr shadowing him, and coming upon him In •iiff*>rent situations, and sur­ prising liltn out of hia mad* up appear a nee of countenance, and after visiting the farm of his Fatlifr. two miles from Harvard, ostensibly m the agent of a barb wire manufactory who was looking up , Infringements on their patents, and And rg on said farm in new fences, and hid awav I" an old cellar, over >ne hundred and fifty dollars worth of the same brand of wire as that stolen, lie went to Mr. Burbank, the Agent, and told him -Shultx was the guilty man, and bis Father was his nccompl'ce. The Agent at first refused to believe It. But father and son were arrested, and finally under tbe application of the detectives pump, confessed every­ thing. Owned up to having oarried on this business for two year*, the father coming with bis team In tbe nlghl and carrying away the plunder. Both are under one thousand five hun­ dred dollar bonds to appear before tne next Grand Jury. Everyone who was acquainted with the parties were ut terlyj amazed at the deuoument. While common sneaks, tramps, Ac., have been suspeoted and arrested, for these crimes, no one thought of look­ ing behind the ^companies desk for tbe thief until Benthusen Inserted bis pro­ boscis lo the pie, when he soon had the right man hunting around after nim, making inquiries as to who he was Ac.* Then It wss that when Shults's least expected It, he found himeelf con­ fronted at every turn he made with the "eyes that never sleep" until his guilty soul turned every object fcborit him Into a detective, and his sand gave way, and he gave himself away. On being arrested he was frantic with remorse and grief, and It was feared that he would commit suicide. Later we learn that the brother- lu- la v of Shulti has got his foot Into a mess. ' To the Voters of tho f oWfl of Bicfcmond. Aaong the purposes of the Town Election, on April 6th, as set forth In the posted notices of the same, we find this: ** lb vote aipon the proposition to issue Bonth to the athawU of 1200. to pay the County'» one half cost of the Bridge known as the Craine Bri ige.v That the electors of the township may fully understand the reasons why there arises a necessity for issuing said bonds, we beg their indulgence in pre­ senting the facts and circumstances as they have arisen--circumstances that were beyond the oontrol of r,he town officers, and the responsibility ft r which rests upon the shoulders of that majority of the county board of Super visors, who. In contravention of law and justice, and relying for success upon a mere quibble, have refused to appropriate monies from the County Treasury to pay for one-half the ex­ pense of the "Craine Bridge.' To make it perfectly clear what the duty of the Town officers is in tbe premises, and also that of the Board of Supervisors, we beg the reader to give a careful study to the law governing In such cases: 19 Rarooats--CoriNTT AI D : If 19. When It is nccessarr to construct or repair any bridge over a stream, or anv approach or approaches thereto, by meant) of an embankment or tres- t le-nrork, on a public road In any town, or oil, or near to, or across a town line, in which vrork the town is wholly or In part responsi­ ble, and the cost of which > 111 be more than 20 cents on the one hundred dollars on the latest assessment roll, and the levy for t lie road and bridge tax for that year in said town was for the full amount of (90 cents on cach one hundred dollars, allowed by law for the com­ missioners to raise, the major part ot which is needed f r the ordinary repairs of roads and bridges, the commissioners may petition the County board for aid ; ami if "the foregoing facte shall appear, the county board shall ap­ propriate from the County Treasury a sum sufficient lo meet one halfthe expenses of the salii bridges or other work, en condition that the town asking aid shail furnish the other half of the desired amount. (I) The expen­ diture of these joint funds shall be made by the commissioners ami two persona appointed by the board of supervisors; and any surplus funds appropriated by the county board, after the completion of the work, shall be paid into or laps* Into the county treasury: Provided however, that beforo any brid<e or approaches as contemplated as above shall 1MS construct­ ed or repaired under the provulont of this section, the commissioners shall make a care ful estimate of the probable cost of the same and attach theroto their affidavits that ihc same is necessary, anil will not be made more expensive than is needed for the purpose de­ sire I; and such estimate and affidavit shall be Bled with the petitions: (I) Provided that In case of some emergency arising from the sudden destruction jr serious damage to a bridge or its approaches, when delay in re­ pairing or rebut Ming would be detrimental to the public Interest, such petitions to the county board may lie presented durirg the work or after its completion, and if the facts appear as contemplated by this section, than the county )>oa>d shall H pproprlate one-h.ilf of saen co*t, with like conditions that the town pay the other half.

"petitioned for aid," N.»w, to make this thing plain. *• must go a Utile further ba«-k. It will be remembered that when the SOI<MI Bridge was built, the County Board also refused to pay the County s one half of the cost of construction of tin- same. and the town had to raise tlx- mouey to pay the sum which the board refused. To raise this mouey, bonds of the towii were Issued, all or a pari of which were still outstanding. The Commissioners having the money lu their hands to pay the to vu'e share of cost of the Craiue Bridge, and as It would not be needed for use for a time, converted a portion of It Into nine hundred dollars worth of the bonJs which were issued on tbe Solon Bridge matter, knowing tbst when the money was needed for the Craine Bridge they ceuld be reconverted Into currency, and in*, the meantime the town be saved some interest on tbem. Because of this conversion of the money Into bonds, tbe County Board held that it was not "raised for road and bridge purposes/' that therefore the town had not complied with the law--and refused to spproprlate money to pay the County's half. Hence tbe present necessity for bonding the town by vote at the next election; ior the bridge is built, tbe money for building it is due, and it must be paid. It would seem to be the duty of every citiiens to vote aye. upon the propo sltion to issue the bonds. That this money will ultimately be returned to the town there ca I be no doubt. Tbe law is too plain and ex­ plicit for the County Board to dodge It. The position taken by the Board is the roost transparent quibble. It is a matter of public knowledge that the money which the Commisssoners con­ vened into Bonds was raised for "road and bridge purpose*," and in conver slon Into Bonds they only changed, the form ot the means they had with which to pay the town's half, for they held the Bo >ds for that purpose. Had tliej put the money luto Qover»raeut Bonds and held them for the same pur pose, would any objection have been raised? No. Supposing the fund* tliey held in their hands had been lu <dlver certificates and they im* chang ed tnem Into Greenbacks, would anv one have objected, or plead that the exchange showed that the money had not been "raised for road and bridge purposes?" Of course not. And Hie two transactions suppoaed and what the Commissioners did, are identical. It Is nor likely that one Supervisor who voted to refuse to pay the County's liaff h*'l any Idee that the county would not. ultimately have to pav It, but they hoped that, as in the case or the Solon bridge a compromise might be effeoted ana tbe county treasury be saved a portion oi the sunt which it should Justly paj. 8.
