VAN SLYKE, Editor. •w 'i'lie greatest poultry show, Which also Includes an exhibition of dogf>, singing birds, ami other pet?, «ver held in the United States is now in progress at the Exposition building, Chicago, and will close on the 28th. It is an exhibitiou whloh all should at­ tend. 'The grand jury of Winnebago •-Jilunty have indieterl the'publjshers of .the Bockford Time# for tl\e puldicatlon of a libelous article against E. H. Griggs, a "former Bockford editor, whom they charged with writing the slanderous article to the Chicago Times about_Miss Early. Each were held to bail in the sum of"$500. . SS^Tfee McCo rmick Reaper Factory ift Chicago turns out on an average a complete machine every twelve min­ utes--five machines ever}* working hour during the year; and more than one-half of theui are combined reapers •nd mowers. They also consume four xn!}lion feet of lumber a year, one-half Which is hard'wood lumber. -••CENTENNIAL WAMS.--Thecommlttee on education of the State of Ill'nois want the history of our public school, course of study, photo of building with piaasand nmja of grounds andf*other items of interest concerning schools and education. They also want copies of newspapers, pri d speeches, pampl> Jets and books published in the county. Address Hon. S. M. Etter, Springfield, IB. I®"Professor Jenney, who figured so largely.in the.Black Hills expedition last summer, is in Washington, still telling stories about the marvel low? yield of gold in the Hills. From the statements he makes the forbidden ground must be full of mirers, shoveling out the fprecions metal in•euornio*i« quantities. Jenney has secured for himself a large claim called the "Jen- ney^Mining District. JtSTA boy at Spring Valley,Minneso­ ta, has been engaged, at odd spells„ for the last three years In whittling a loco­ motive, two feet long, out of ^ood. «aich he has recently finished. If the parents of that boy will just let him alone and not try to discourage htm in any way, the chances art* that he will spend a long and useful life in trying to invent and construct "a perpetual motior.'1 16^Sergeant Bates is in Philadelphia lecturing and trying to raise $5,000 wherewith to start a free centennial lodging-house, in camp style, for Union and ex-confederate disabled soldiers at the exhibition. -Who gave' this person the wherewithal to get out of Canada? Who brought him over from England? Alas have we been painfully deceived? Has this person 'been in no trouble "whatever. 19*Milwaukee papers give all the society news. "The lovely and accom­ plished Mrs. Crooked Bourbon," &e read in a recent Sentinel, "was the ad­ miration .of all the indicted guests at the fancy ball last night. , She wore 30{000 gallons of the finest point lace, sent her by her husband when he fled to Europe and forfeited his bail-bonds #nd a set of diamonds valued at the whole local press and twenty five gau- gers and inspectors.

EDITOR PLAINDKALEK:--Your LATE Editorial about'the Material interests of McHenry I esteem timely* and should be well considered by «U1 citi- teus who love and seek the continued prosj)erity of their own village. With your permission, may I offer a few suggestions of* krud rather more in my line than yours, perhaps, and which I hope will be received in the same kind spttlit in which I propose them, as helps also to McIIenry*s real and permanent growth and extended jn^nence. 1. Church attendance I esteem as not only a good trait in town people, reflecting credit upon themselves and their village, but actually aiding, in its reflex influence, the material interests of the community. This is too well known to need argumentation, rfnd also a quite generally accepted fact. Neat and well filled churches jvith propor­ tionable pulpit ability and interest are encouraging signs. If business men and citizens fail by personal neglect to encourage these things it becomes a serious draw back to the town. McHenry has an intelli­ gent class of people, ahead iu'dee d, in this respect of some other towns, and many 1 am happy to-learn, and see are not really indifie rent to these things. Still tl»ere is, allow a strahgex to say. room for iinprcyjinent. And even if we are not all of one mind on 'eligious topics,, yet if we gather together on the Sabbath for divine service we both honor our common Father and ourselves his children. And as it is known herea­ bouts thsit there is but oue English service at present,, that at the M. E. Church, the pastor kindly herpes to# enjoy the presence of a goodly number of his fellow citizens at serv es 4 as he has already. The preaehiug will be of the eaijpt sort (such as it is) and from tne Methodist stand point, but you will not be sent to perdition just because you don't agree with^the pul­ pit, and; aIlowii\g it the same courtesy fre may be mutually benefited. 2. Good Schoolu help. I think it a little unfortunate the town has iHl one building for all four teachers employed. But it is a good indication that four are employed. The Principle, Mr. Baldwin, I am glad to learn is succeed­ ing finely, arid all the assistants I be­ lieve are proportionately successful Bifjt Mr. Baldwin alone is not enough, nor yet the tax of McIIeniy's citizens, but a constant purpose and high aim to make it excel itself, and this wiii need not only the careful study and interest on the part of the Directors, but the practical goodwill and interest, of all parents. Support school author­ ity, watch over our own children 6ee that they do study, and teach them obedience at home and all will go on prosperously. 3, Tempcrance help«. I shall not now nor here argue the "License ques­ tion." All I wish now to say is this: Intemperance is an admitted evil, an evil to the family, the community and the state. The moral sense of the com­ munity should go against it. Keep away from the evil as far as possible. Repress its influence in a quiet and ex­ emplary way; and avoid increasing the temptation as much as possible, These Mr. Editor, are some of my views, and offered not for controversy, but for re­ flection, only aiming to do good con­ sistently with my calling. And as you esteem the press (and" very right­ fully too).so potent a power to increase the vim, enterprise and well being of a village and community, so also may it greatly help in the utterance., now and then, of those moral ideas so intimate­ ly associated with-all our domestic and social happiness. Yonrs Truly. J. T. COOPER. Pastor M. E. Church Held at Hingtvood. 1(1., am Saturday, January 1S76, "• Culled to order by the President, After the opening exercises, the min­ utes of the last meeting were read, cor­ rected and approved. Griffith and Morse being absent, it was found necessary to deviate from the regular programme. W. A. Skinner illustrated his method of teaching Zoology. Would use a Zoological Chart--which he exhibited --In connection with the Textbook, The subject, Zoology, occupying the centre of the chart, then the divisions and sub-divisions of the subject ar­ ranged in a circular form, A. W. Cumins being called on to ad­ dress the Association on the same sub­ ject, stated that he did not oonsider it a very'judicious plan to introduce in the common schools either Zoology or any of the other "ologies,', as a regular study. Thought that the Teacher's time might be more profitably spent in teaching the common branches. The next exercise was an Essay by Miss Rose Nlckle. in which she mention ed some of the qualitlet desirableiua Teacher. ; ^ Adjourned for noon. ' •••<• Opened in the afternoon with a largo, attendance. Before taking up the re­ gular programme the President made the following appointments: A. W Cumins, Critic-; Win. Griffith. Miss Let tie Cuming, and J. A. Baldwin, Com- miitee on programmefO. A. Garduer. Query Box Reader. Moved and carried that the Secretary prepare I" list of the Teachers' names for the wse of future Committees on programme, Mr, Griffith was next called upon to conduct an exercise in Physiology, but declined jto serve on the plea of uot be­ ing prepared, ' By Request A, E. Baldwin occupied the next half hqur on the subject of Physiology. • Mr. Griffith followed with a discourse <o.tf history. Thought that this might be made a very interesting branch of study. Would have the pupils read the lesson and then ask a few leading ques­ tions. Intermission, Intellectual Arithmetic by J, Morton was the next exercise, his remarks be­ ing confined chiefly to the multiplica­ tion iabie. v An Essay by Miss Lettie Cumins was then read, her subject being "Chalk." The Committee on programme made the following report, which onl motion was accepted and the committee -dis­ charged: l'lace of meeting, Richmond. Time, February 12th.

Query Box Reader to be appointed by the Presi­ dent. A letter from the State Superinten­ dent of Public Instructions, Mr. Etter., was read by the President, requesting the Teachers' of McIIenry County to as­ sist in raising the funds necessary tot represent the edncational interests of Illinois at the Centennial. Moved and carried that a committee of one be appointed in each township, to canvass tor the amount requested. Moved and carried that the amount raised be paid over to the (guilty Superintendent. On listening to the Critic's report it become evident that we do not always adhere strictly to the rules of syntax. C A Gardner opened the Query Box. which contained a large number of questions on various subjects, among which appeared "Which is correct,-- If 1 was,or If were ?" Decided that the latter is the correct form, A hearty vote of thanks was then ten­ dered to the people of Ringwood for the generous manner in which we were cared for. Adjourned. W M.
