Republican has J>ppn shown an oar of corn which con- tains 1,087 grains., The editor of the 8 Republican may justly claim* that the ear is excelled in length by no other in the State--except his own. |SfThe London Court Journal says two American ladies--names not given --"are just now making a pedestrian trip in the Highlands of Scotland, and enjoying the best of all ways of trav­ elling amid mountain scenery. They are alone, each having her knapsack on her bade, and each also armed with a revolver. JSP1 The negotiations for the pur­ chase of the Black Hills country, which has for some days been proceeding at the Red Cloud agency, between the U. S. Commission and the chiefs of the Indian tribes who own the reservation, has proved a failure, except so far as it may prove an initiatory step. The Indians are offered propositions to co­ gitate upon and smoke over during their leisure hours in the coming win­ ter. Meanwhile our white adven­ turers will almost "spoil*' for explora­ tion and upturning in the Black Hills gold fields. " BSf The old English humbug which has cursed this country so long, the in­ telligent jury, lias at last attracted the attention of the magazines. Scribner's says: "The simple truth is, that the jury system is outlived and ought to be jpjutlawed. It does not help the cause "of law and justice, and ouggt to be kicked out of the way. It is oppressive to the jurorr it is anomalous in our system of government, it makes the uncertainty of law still more uncertain, it is expen­ sive, and it is utterly unnecessary. There is nothing sacred about it. To be tried by a man's peers is not half so good a thing as to be tried by a man's intellectual and moral superiors." Jgf There is some satisfaction in store for such as desire to see punish­ ment inflicted upon that seemingly worst of all crimes--piratical murder In mid-ocean seas. Two of the schoon­ er JeScfsOii Borden Biutiaeers have "been convicted of that atrocious crime. They cruelly murdered two of the schooner's officers and were only saved from the guilt of complete massacre of all the non-participants by the keen "watchfulness and efficient .co-operation of the wife of the captain. She alarm­ ed him in season and frustrated their ©overt designs on his life, and through two long days, with the assistance of one boy, aided him in baffling all their occasional attempts on their lives. They were finally subt&tgd, taken to Snglaud, extradited to lu^ston, and now two of them await expiation of their fiendish crinies.

The show of Poultry was very large, there being 116 cages on exhibition] but Mr. Cook took the Sweepstakes premium for the best and largest dis­ play of Fowls, also speoial premium of­ fered by the Secretary, in all 0G9 in premiums. C. E. feels quite proud of his success. •--Eugene Lewis.son of Henry Lewis, formerly a resident of this place, died in Texas, Sept. 25th, aged 21 years. His remains were sent to this place for bur­ ial by the side of his mother, arriving Saturday noon. Hehry Lewis accom­ panied the remains, and the interment took {dace Sabbath morning at 10 o'clock. Eugene was engaged with a •urveying party in Texas at the time of his death, and had been absent from home some four years .^Republican. A SURE CURE FOR DIARRHCEA. This is to certify that after coming home from California to my family in Chicago I was taken with a diarrhoea J tried pveiything that was recommen­ ded to me (but did me no good) for over five years, until I got two bottles of F. Marcus* Bitters which complete­ ly cured me. Robert Forrest Peter Blane and others can testify the above to be true and no humbug. I have proved it to be equally as good for billions complaints. It strengthens and invigorates the whole system, carries off the bile, and gives warmth tp the chilled veins of both old and young. It is the best bitters I ever , used. f JOHN PENMAH SEN. Town of Seneca, McHenry County, JBtate of Illinois. Subscribed and sworn * to before me • §bis 28th day of September 1875. 4 E. IULDWI#, 3. PI WOODSTOCK. Pi.AwmcAi.EB;--On day morning Mr. Fitch, living in the; north part of the city, died suddenly aft?er an illness of two days. About sixfty five years of age, not posessing the most robust health, and having been actively engaged in the cucumber busi­ ness this season, it is not to be won­ dered at that he fell a victim to thatrn scourage of wet seasons, Typhoid fever. Uncle Dan Ercanbrack has sold out his brick yard to his son "Ed," who for the past five years has worked the farm of Robt. Richardson Esq. Brick will be made at the yard as before. Mayor Jefferson, now that his house is almost done, has laid the foundation for a barn, meaning to start with every thing new, judging from the appear­ ance of his lot. Cologne water is in good demand around the pickle factory just now, arid Smith thinks it would not take a long time nor cost very much money to get up A No. 1 stink with, fermenting cab­ bage leaves Dr. Stone of Richmond is negotia­ ting with the stockholders of the Woodstock cheese factory to lease their building and keep it in operation for live years. A vacant factory ought not to be tolerated if one can be found who is willing to keep it open for business. 4 South street is to be opened in the spring from the culvert east to the Fair ground, a long-needed improve­ ment by which those living on the old McHenry road avoid the bad crossing at and the perfume of the pickle facto­ ry. It were better to do it this fall. One of the boys working in the fac­ tory took an unexpected bath in the sour krout vat last week. He thinks that had he worn a pair of rubber boots, tied over the top of his head, he would have come out drier And bo(u)rne it better. *A. L. Salisbury Esq, has just finished a new barn, which is a sign that the Salisbury's at least are holding their own amid the stagnation of trade. ODD. "i3rO,A.H.D SEE Of Farm Machinery!

Twelve of them filled a half bushel measure and one potatoe weighed two pounds and eleven ounces. Our county has been saved the sum of $5000 by not prosecuting license men. The fines ^ ere never collected and why prosecute. Two suits from this town were dis­ missed this term because the attorney for one side was not there when they were called and threw the costs on his clients. # >|e expect to see a good turn out from our town to the Barbecue at Mc­ Henry this week.
