QTMXE A large party of ladies and gen- Clemen from this village, Woodstock, Evanston and Chicago, riiadea trip to , Fox Lake on the steamer, Thursday fast. The day was pleasant aud all re­ port a good time. As business called UB in.another direction, we were unable to accept tliejnvitatiou to accompany the party. . WE noticed two urchins in angry dis­ pute on the street the other dayr-Thej- did not do much puinmellug liOAvever, but both appeared to have imbibed large doses of jaw-lip. Boys should be more careful aboirt-quarreling, for it is setting bad examples before t canines and felines. WE acknowledge calls this week from A.

THE Base Ball game which was an­ nounced to take place in this village on Friday last, between the ".Spring City" Club of Woodstock and the "Bashful Boy.s" of this village, did not come oft from the fact that the Spring City Club failed to put in an 'appearance.

The Superintendent, J. W. Cristy, is the "right man initie right place," aj^d no one knows 1 )t tfl%ltow toinanage one of these entertainments than he does.-- We very mucli regret that we were un- Jll>le to attend, as we are' confident we lost ai.ieli treat. , -y' . ,1 r; - • If ' .V- WE are now prepaid dfe all Mil# of Job Printing It) the'best style of the art and on short uotke* Our type and Pressed arc all uew; autl we fijetter onr- selv.^s tliat we can.•.please., fliose wlio may give lis a .call,'both iu quality of work and prices.

J'e-rsons in want of handbills;, cards, bill-heads, letter head?* envelopes, &t\, will do well to give us a ehll. nounced by dealers as the best in the market. Mr. J. F. Welsh, the manufac­ turer, is an experienced man in the bnsi-. ness, and the McIIenry Picklc Company are extremely fortunate in being able to secure his services. Notwithstand­ ing the unfavorable season the Factor^ done a business of about $20,000.

It is not the aim of the officers of the company to make a big show, but to run the Factory an a plan that will be of the most ben­ efit to the stockholders and the people generally in its immediate vicinity,-- That they have succeeded so far is evi­ denced by the ready sale an^popnlarity of their goods. For the anlrount .^of capital invested we thilik there is no in­ stitution of the kind in the West that is in a more flourishing coudition, or whose prospects for* the future look brighter. The names §f the officers are as follows: Pre&dent, S.lJ. Walk­ er^ Secretary, Ceo. A. Buckliu. Di­ rectors, S, H. Walker, E. M. Owen, C. B. Gurtisi A.

No entrance fee will be charged to exhibi- 'tors, but competition will be open .to the world." One of the reasons given for this 'Miow departure" is that '"stock and articles are not really judged upon" their merits, but premiums, are award­ ed to the exhibitor who can tell the most plausible story." This is two true, and although this is a new and novel plan of holding a Fair, yet we have faith it will pove a success. Two ,pub- lic sales^vill be^ held during the Fait, so that all breeders pf fine stock may dis­ pose of their herds if we do not mis­ judge the spirit of the people, t!lo Elgin: Agricultural Society will have the larg­ est Exhilntiou ever held in that count jr.

He intends keeping a full stock of Hardware, &c", in both stores, and will be able to accommodate the ' buying public with anything in his line at either store. THE firm «f Aldrich & Smith, Rich­ mond, have taken possession of half a column in the PLAINDEALEU. which the buying public would do well to read, they- Sseep a stock of Dry Goods, Gro­ ceries, Afc, selected with special refer­ ence t« the wants of their customers, and their prices go way d^wn to "hard pan." ' WE learn that some scoundrel entered the barn of Patrick Falen, who resides in the South part of this village, one Slight last week, poisoned his horse and cut a y®ung eplt with a knife so badly til at he will be entirely ruined. Mr. Falen offers a reward of #50 for the de­ tection of the rillafn. -Auy one who "would do so dastardly an act deserves to l>e punished iu such *a manner that it would prove a warning to others of like "THERE is a sadness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness but of power. They speak more eloquently fj^Vales than a thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming^ grief, of deep contraction, and of unspeakable love.*' Q^course they are^but when a foui* year old boy lets ou^lhe full capa­ city of his luugs, sprinkled with «; liber­ al supply of tears, because lie is not al­ lowed to eat seven oranges, nine applcK, and a pound of candy, within the brie/ space of thirty minutes, what are you going to do about it ? SOME one says there once lived, a man in Boston who wrote far a paper throe months aud never made for him­ self en enemy. We don't believe a word of it. No man ever wrote for the press three months without making ene­ mies. We know Boston is a smart town, but it can't produce a man like tluit. We don't care if he confined hi# writ­ ings wholly to advertisements, some ice-dealer would be sure to get mad ami accuse him of intimating that another man's ice was colder .than his. There is no usV of talking; the thing can*t be done. Wkdon't believe it if all Boston should riscVp and swear to it. -V LOVKKS of Fine Art would do well to call at the residence of O. W. Owen and see the fine Oil Paintings, the work of his eldest daughter. The people of McIIenry should be .proud of their home Artist, and encourage her by their generous patronage. She shows great talent for one so young. The Portrait of Mrs. Williams, sister of Mrs.. Anderson Murphy, of Woodstock, will be there a few days. l)o not fail to see it. As a Portrait it is perfect, and as a work of art it is simply splendid. She has a choice collection of Paint­ ings, among them a fiue Painting of a horse for Newell .Colby; one of a dog for the Fidelity Bank, Chicago, and others of rare merit. Again we say we have great reason to he proud of our young Artist. , ' • Mwil lSM^t* Transfers.
