Own* Sec., V '.SCHOOL opened on Monday with about the usual number of scholars for this time of year. SERVICE will be held at tite ^tver* salist Church in this village, next Sun­ day morning at half past tejj by Bev. .. B. N. Wiles. :; •/, ON Saturday last about two thousand bushel* Of cucumbers were received at the Factory. With this weather the receipts will increase almost every day. THE first Oysters of the season were received in this village on Saturday last by J. Bouslet, and were immediately spoken/or by lovers of the bivalves. SMITH & S'NTDEK bought and shipped from this Station last week 5,000 bush­ els of new Oats, paying an average of .thirty cents per bushel. There is nothing the farmers have to sell but what this firm will buy at a fair mar­ ket price. WE were shown a cueunber on Mon­ day that measured five feet live inches in length. And it was a Green cucum­ ber at that. This was undoubtedly grown from some Archdeacon's selected <«eed. The owner of the patch is "Dow trying to contract them by the cord. As will be seen by a notice elsewhere, a meeting has been called for the pur­ pose of organizing a Brass Bund in this village. Let the good work go on, and then we'll have '"a little music on the subject." Be sure and attend Wthe meeting en Thursday eveiling. "WE a rein formed by the7 proprietor, -that the cash receipts o.f the Tarker House for the-^month of August, were $760.85. Of that amount §2<>8.74 was paid out^, and the balance $402.11 we won't say u'haf bfreaj^e of it, but Par­ ker says "he don't vas h tippy yet." WE would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Cowlin, Dwight & Co, Woodstock, which can be iound in another column. We-can assure our readers in that Vicinity that they can find anything they may. want in the Boot and Shoe line at this estab­ lishment, and at low prices. ON Monday afternoon, about 4 o"* clock, the house of Riley Gibson, who resides three miles East of this village, was totally destroyed by fire, together with most of his household furniture. Loss about $400. Insured in the Farmer's Insurance Company of Free port. The fire was caused by a defective chimijey. QUITE a number of our cit izens, .since our last issue, have cut-and raked away the weeds in front of their residences, and the improved appearance in such localities, if nothing more, should in­ duce others to "go and do likewise." A • few • minutes work for each rr^Tcm, w'ould add nrudi to tke beauty of «mr streets. WE have received a copy of the- Pre­ mium List of the Waukegan Fair, which is to be held from Sept. '27th to October 1st. The, Premiums offered are the most liberal, and the officers are doing their utmost to make the coming Fair secoud rto none in the State, The Pamphlet was printed at the Gazette office, and is a credit to .that institution. WE understand that some evil and •vicious minder' person or persons have lately stolen some very choice plants from the graves in the Cemetery. This Is the meanest and lowest sneak thieve­ ry we ever heard of, and if the scoun­ drels could be caught deserve to be kicked by every respectable man in the community. We can inform these gen­ try that they are now being watched and if caught will be.sererely dealt with. THE M. E. Church Sunday School of this village held a Picnic at Pistaqua Lake on Thursday last, and all report .a good time, notwithstanding a heavy shower put asudden terminus to their proceedings, andgave them all a good •"wetting down." We should be glad to publish notices of all such gatherings in advance if those having, them in scharge would only inform us of the fact, but we did not know of this Picnic un­ til we saw the teams on their way. EXCURSION Tickets to the Chicago /Exposition, will be sdld at McIIenry depot on thefollowing days; On Sep­ tember 8th 9th and 10th. good to return mnt'ii September 11th.

The price of these tickets will be tyro dollars and sixty-five cents, including an admis­ sion ticket to the Exposition. * THAT potato mentioned last week, has been beaten. Thos Thompson left o»e on our table on Manday morn- Lug that weighs one pound fourteen ounces. We pcrsume that in potatoes, like all other things, there is a limit beyond which tbey cannot---grow, but we are now waiting ior somebody 4o beat this last production, MCHEXRY county has the following personal property, according to the statement of acoessors: 10,733 horses 34,961 cattle, 211 mules, 45,528 sheep 17,578 hogs. Also 4,669 wagons, 3,721 watches and clocks, 1,856 sewing ma­ chines, 156 pianos and 406 melodeoiu and organs. The total assessed, value of this property is $2,825,996, CHE Base Ball Club of this village, have a new uniform and present a very neat and tasty appearance. It consists of Red Stockings, White Pants, Blue Shirt and Belt, white Cap corded with Blue, Commencing at their fret they now represent the National colors, "Red, White and Blue" If they do not win the next match game we shall be much mistaken. The honor of the new uniform is at stake. * WE cannot refrain from again ac­ knowledging the klndne§§j of our friends in keeping us supplied with gardeu vegetables, such is Tomatoes, Cabbage, Turnips, Corn, Ac., Space will not permit us to acknowledge each separately, but we wish to extend thanks to all. We would, however, es­ pecially return our thanks to Mrs. E W. Wheeler, for the very generous remem­ brance on Saturday evening. In the language of Rip VanWinkle, may you all "live long and brosper." THE meeting of the Old Settlers, at Col. Lippincott's Fox Lake Resort,will commence, to-morrow (Thursday) and continue until Saturday. The Colonel is making preparations for a large crowd, and Prizes are offered for Row­ ing, to both Ladies and gentlemen, and a general good time is anticipated.-- Go,v. Beveridge, Ex-Governor Bross, and other distinguished gentlemen are expected to be present and deliver ad­ dresses during the mooting. The Steamer will* leave this place at 10J o'clock A. M. of each clay, returning in the evening. Mi^rSr LrOimK, of Solon. haSleft on our tables a copy of the Cumberland Valley Sentinel, printed at Chambers- burg, Pa., Feb. 5th 1847.It shows its age, but nevertheless is readable. In it we find a market report of that date, which does not difter as much as one would think from prices at the present day. We quote a. few of the leading articles. Flour per barrel $4.25, Wheat per bushel 85 cents, Oats 22 cents, Corn 40 cents. Ilay per ton $6, Potatoes per bushel 50 cent*, Butter per pound 15 cents, Eggs per dozen 10 cents. This it will be remembered, was twenty- eight years ago. • ADVERTISING is a great bother. It only brings a lot of folks to your place of business. If they want you let them hunt you up. Then, if you get your name in the paper you will be bored with drummers, and people from the country will call on you, and you will have to Show them goods, and like enough have to do up bundles for them, which Will exhaust your stock so much tljat von will' be obliged to buy more goods, which is- a great trouble. If you advertise-, too, it gives your place a reputation abroad; folks will go there and crowd you, and make it to lively. I f you .dosflt want t© do -anything > keep as still as vou can. JOHN B. COUJY, who resided just west of this village*?, has sold a part of his farm and removed to Clifton, Iro­ quois County* where we understand he contemplates engaging in the Dry Goods trade. In the removal of Mr. Colby McIIenry has lost and Clifton gained an upright, square dealing busi­ ness man and a good citizen, and while we very rhueh regret his removal from our midst, we are somewhat consoled by the fact that he has sold but part of his property here, and we hope will, at some future day. come to reside among us again. We congratulate the business community of Clifton upon the acces­ sion of Mr. Colby to their numbed His many friends here wish him unbounded success. OUR citizens are anticipating a good day of fun at Nippersink Point on Fri­ day of this week, and if we are to judge by the preparations going on, they will not be disappointed. In addition to the prizes offered on the bills, and which we published last week, they have se­ cured 200 Pigeons, which will be shot from a trap for Sweepstakes. This will be rare sport for .our "Shootists," and cannot fail to draw a large crowd. We hear of rparties from Woodstock, Elgin, Waukegan and Chicago, who are contemplating being present on that day and take a hand in the sport. Messrs. DttnneH and Stanley are sparing no pains to make it a gala day for all who attend, and the Game Dinner which is to be served will be such a one as these gentlemen know so well how to get up. ]fret all who love a days sport be sure to go to Nippereink Point on Friday next. , , * ' Meeting of the Board ml Supervisors. NOTICE.--The annual meeting of the Hon. Board -of Supervisors of McHenry County will be held at their room in the Court House in Woodstock on Tues­ day, Sep. 14th 187S. P. WUITJTEY, Clerk. OUR Artist, B. A. Ford, starts to day (Wednesday) for Fox Lake, where he will be ready with a good tent, to take Pictures of all kinds, during the Old Settlers Meeting at that place. In eon- sequence of this his Gallery will be closed for the balance of th£ week, lir. Ford is onebof tho best Artists in the county, and -that this is becoming well known is evidenced by thefact that he is how engaged to take $100 worth of Views of tlie Elgin and Chicago Club .Houses at Fox Lake. Persons atten­ ding the Old Settlers Meeting should not fail to call on Ford and get their picture, Braae Band In McIIenry. All persons interested in the dr^ttfii- satiou of a Brass Band in McHenry, •re requested to meet at the PLAIN- DEALER Office on Thursday evening, at 8 o'clock sharp. We have the material for as good a Band as there is in the county, and if our citizens will interest themselves there is no good reason why one oannot belmmediately organized. * PKlt ORDER Notice to Patrons. There will be a meeting of the Mc­ Henry Grange, No. 86, at the residence of Bro. Hanley, Saturday evening Sep­ tember 11th 1S75, at the usual hour of meeting. Deputy M. M.

Between the hours of twelve and one, dinner was ..served, to which we nil did justice, if the fact of each eating enough for half a dozon can be considered doing it justice. ^ After dinner the muttering of distant thunder could be heard and many hastened homeward, some of them getting tbe benefit of a shower. A few of us took shelter with friend Pitson until the shower passed, and then came home by the way'of Johns- burg, and visited the church there, through which we were shown by the kind and .polite Chorister, who also fa­ vored us with, some splendid mu~ic from the organ, which wo'considered-^ a fitting instrument for such a church. That we had a very pleasant day was the verdict of all of our party, at least we hope to be able to enjoy a repetition of the same at some other time, ONK OP THE PARTY. WOODSTOCK. EDITOR PLAINDEALER Either there is a dearth of news this week, or what there is has not come within the scope of my vision*except that W. E.* Smith' late P. M„ is building an addition on the south eud of his dwelling, making the main part about once and a half as long as before, thus doing away with its for­ mer unfinished appearance. Mayor Jefferson's house is ready for the clapboard' and the plasterers are nailing on the ,lath. The building is plain but neat. A triangular dialogue took "place one day last week bet ween three of the birds on Loafers Iioost as to where rests the responsibility for the stair-sidewalk at the south end of the pickle factory. Some one should see that the place is made passable for a sober mail by day­ light before the week of the fair. Blake is putting up the bliuds in the Court room, F. Best has sold out his bakery to a stranger. The Harvard (Actives) found their Waterloo on our fair ground last Fri­ day, so the Spring Cities are still ahead. Where is the club that wishes to be immortalized next? It is a little amusing to . me to see how Cumings catches it in the Sentinel. As long as he does not complain I need not, but I would like to have South- worth's man Friday, shoot off that 100 pounder that he promised; for while dreading the noise of the explosion it would be fun to see the fur and--cucum* hers fly at Pickleville.

Jimmy MeCue, returned from Michi­ gan last Wednesday evening after an absence of a year and a half. He is about 16 years old. He went home and as his mother did not know him he asked to stay all night. She said she could not keep him. He says, '"well I will stay any way." She says, "you leave the house now or I will put you out." ITe says, "Oh no, mother, you would"nt do that." She would hardly believe it was her son, he had grown so He is a flue looking young man, , S. J. Peterson, keeps a full line of cloths for nice dress suits. Call and or* der a suit made. There will be a re-union of all sol­ diers of the late war, in Nunda Hall, Saturday evening, Sept. 11th, 1875, for the purpose of organizing a poet of the grand army. Be sure to bring you wives and families. Ye Local's infant daughter was pre*" sented by her namesake, Mrs. Emily Chapman, of Elmira, N. Y. last week with a.solid silver cup, "gold lined," also a napkin ring, knife, fork and tea­ spoon, all silver, which was brought to her by her grandmother, who has just returned from a trip east. The Germans have a building raised for a school house 20x36, and will build a meeting house near it. Some person broke a wheel to their wagon and left it, with a load of wood, near J. Sheldon's, "Jim" wood is han­ dy now. Irwin Miller has his lufuse completed and we were s&owu tnwwgh it ia»i Sat­ urday. The house is well proportioned and roomy, the kitchen is grained light and dirk oak, and the parlor is white with seven coats of white paint, flat­ tened and varnished. If you want to see a good job call on Mr. Miller and he will show yoli gladly.

Farmers have abundant crtps and are happy. Miss Jentite Ashton and Miss Mattie Paddock were in town the guests of Miss Mattie Fisher. Farmers are hard at Work closing up their haying and threshing their grain this fine clear weather. ' Oats yield from 50 to 80 bushels pep acre. Rye 20, Flax from 12 to IS bushels, Wheat a light crop from 8 to 15 bushels per acre. If this warm weather continues two or three weeks, the corn crop will be the heaviest crop we have, had for sev­ eral years. Buckwheat looks well and potatoes never better. Eddie Garver has improved so much that we see he is now waiting on cus­ tomers in a very pleasing way at C. F. Hall's. Success to Eddie; wev are-glad to know he is doing well. Mr. John Garver is ready with some more of his earnest temperance lect­ ures, and talks of giving the benefit to some of the good people-of Wisconsin. Would have done so already had4jiot Circumstances prevented. Mr. John*Garver, has lately been ap­ pointed sexton and usherTof the M. E. Church. No better appointment could have been made. Mr. Garver is a good and true n^an and the more thoroughly we become acquainted with him the more we love him. The Rev. F. «t. Douglass with his fam­ ily are soon to leave'^Richmond, and take up their abode in Genoa. Their smiling faces will be missed among us, and many circle will suffer a loss by their removal, but what is our loss may be gain to those with whom they^ min­ gle in their new home.

We hear the familiar tones of the old school bell calling to, duty once more. Labors are resumed, teachers and schol­ ars were on hand in good time Monday morning, and Richmond seems quite busy now that so many knowledge seekers are hurrying to and fro with their merry faces and joyousstep. May they wisely improve the golden mo­ ments us they fly. Our physicians seem to have an in­ crease business, as the damp, cool weath­ er of the past has seriously affected some of the weaker constitutions, and in view of this for our own good we better try and prevent the oncoming diseases that are about us, by early fol­ lowing the advice of these good coun­ selors or make ourselves ready to de­ part. f During the past week the erection of the fine Monumenttii memory of Her­ man Gibbs has taken place.
