Now the people of Winnebago should ask the Secretary of their Society to vacate. He is evident­ ly too smart to successfully run a Fair. ^ •>§ JS^The thief who stole a package of ' $47,000 from the cash room of the Uni­ ted States Treasury Department a few weeks ago, has been discoverd. Ilis name is Ilallecks, a clerk in the Depftrt- • m&ht, who was tempted to the act by i\tFo confederates at Washington. It is *tHolight that at least $40,000 of the stolen monev will be recovered. V$,The latest rumor about the mis- iJ&lng Charlie Ross is that John Wester- r nett, the brother-in-law of one of the abductors of the missing boy, and who was arrested and confined sometime F<f$jtace, as a conspirator in the abduction, was made an important confession as to the abduction of the boy, which prom­ ises well for his recovery, though it fur­ nishes no information as to his present, whereabouts. The famous O'Leary family of Chicago are failures. The original Mrs . O'Leary, who owned the cow which '"burned Cijldago, was an abject failure •until her bovine kicked her into noto­ riety. I*ow Dan O'Leary, another of the family, has repeatedly walked against tipie and always proved a loser. He has failed for the second time to to walk 150 miles in fifty-two hours.-- Dan. your only 'hopeof success is to buy ? a cow and get tossed into fame on her ; head or hoofs.

Van is the best journalist in Mi?Henry county, and his paper will make the; rickety old Sentinel and noisy Nunda paper tremble in their boots. From the Palatine HoraM. „ Our; old friend J.

Van Slyke, formerly connected with the Woodstock Sentinels has com­ menced the publication of a new paper called the PLAINDEALER, at McIIenry, In size, it is eight pages, six columns to the page, and presents a very credita­ ble appearance, is well filled with lo­ cal matter, and should receive a hearty support from the people it represents. From the Marengo Re publican. W* have received-the first number of the McHenry PLALNDEALEK, published at McHenry by J Van Slyke, formerly associate editor of the Woodstock Sen­ tinel. It is a good looking sheet, well edited, and worthy a liberal support. We place it on our exchange list with pleasure. From the Belvidere Northwestern.

Van Slyke, for­ merly of the Woodstock Sentinel, aud later, foreman in the office of the In­ dependent of this place. The PLAIN- DEALER is a six-column quarto, neutral in politicy^nd thoroughly local. It starts out w*ith a liberal amount of ad­ vertising. and an air, in general, of a paper destined to succeed. It saluta­ tory is modest, as h^omes real- merit, and judging from number one the PLAINDEALER will easily make good all it promises. From the Geneva T^ake Herald. * We have often wondered why Mc­ Henry liad no newspaper, and now it is plain; they were waiting for J. Van Slyke to come with his well timed six- column PLAINDEALER. The paper is a handsome sheet and a credit to the pub­ lisher. ifiF" The prospects for an immense peach ctop are v#ry flattering indeed, the estimated number of baskets from Maryland and Delaware • alone being placed at ten millions.
