Will McHenry take an active part< in observing "the day we cele­ brate?" A meeting of our citizens should be held at au early day. to con­ sider the question. Other towns are already at work. McHeury should not beTbehind. -THE next Party by the McHenry So­ cial Club, will be held at the Parker House, on Friday evening of next week. February 4th. The best of music will be furnished and a general good time msjy be expected. All those who wish can be accommodated with Supper at a reasonable price. Remember the time, Friday evening of next week, Feb. 4th. SINCE our last, (of which we presume our readers are all aware.) we have been treated to a variety of weather as usual. It has rained, snowed^' froze, thawed, been warm as Spting and colder than blixiin, and yet we are not happy, "Old Probabilities"' has the rheumatism, and everything in ljis^e- partment is running at loose ends. MESSRS Rogers <& Seymour, who are located in Stoddard's old Store with their Steam Feather Bed Renovator, are doing a lively business, and give satisfaction to all of their customers. They will remain but a few days lon­ ger, and those wishing their beds Reno­ vated should call at once. They go from here to Wauconda, Lake County. AMONO the guests from other places at the Leap Year Party, on Friday evening last, we noticed, Frank Patterson «nd Lady, G, Patterson and Lady, Mr. Gavin, Mr. Luff and Sister, John Story and" Lady, of Chi­ cago; Perry Wodell and Lady, Geo. Eldridge and Lady, "Mr. Vinton and Lady, and Bernard Harrison and Lady, of Richmond,~ AT the M. E. Church, In this village, they have made a change in that por­ tion of public worship, the singing, by the introductiou of congregational dinging. They still retain the choir, the congregation joining with them.-- Itaoes seem more fitting in public worship that the People should take a part. "Let the People-praise thee, O Lord. Yea, let all the "People praise says the Psalmist." POSTMASTER SMITH furnishes us with the following figures of the Money Or­ der business transacted at the Mc- Hcnry office during the six months comme icing July 1st 1875, and ending January 1st, 1876. Orders issued, $1,584,02, Orders paid $571.90. It must be reine-mEberefl that this office was first authorized to issue orders on July 1st, consequently the business was not so great as it will be for the-six months to come. • 1 "• Ho one who visit Woodstock fails to come away impressed with the fact that they have, in the Waverly House, one of the best Hotels in tire county. Geo. L. Sherwood, the proprietor, is a bom landlord, and leaves uothiug un­ done to make his guests feel at home while under his care. No one who stops a^ this House once will ever pass it by thereafter. The rooms are large, well ventilated and'pleasant. and taken alljn all the Waverly Ilonee, Wood­ stock. is a model country Hotel, and a comfortable JUoioe for the weary trav­ eler. As a proof of the improved state of the roads since the last freeze, our vil­ lage was full of teams on Tuesday, mak­ ing business more lively than for some time. We also noticed a large number of dressed hogs being brought in. With good roads business Wfrtdd brighten up materially. THE latest fraud is the man who makes a regular business of deserting his wife and children amemg strangers. The latter usually give them money and needed articles, after receiving which the family join the husband, and they repeat the game in some other place. THE Steamboat "Athlete,* was sold on Saturday last to Messrs. King & Herbes, of the McHenry Brewery, for the sum of $800. We Understand that they intend to take otft the machinery and put it t« use in their Brewery. What they will do with the boat we did not learn. Arrangements are now being made whereby a better and faster Steamer will be put on the river the coming season. ASSERTING THBIK RIGHTS. Wishing to commence aright conoid ering it is Leap Year, the Ladles of jdcllenry determined to give a leap year party on the eve of Jan 21st.-r-- Accordingly they set forth on their mission, determined to show their bashful male companions what they knew about parties in general and leap year parties in particular, luvitations were issued, the of music secured, and when the eventful eveniug arrived the favored gents were escorted to the Parker House and ins tructed to enjoy themselves as by statue provided. The parlors of the house were tin-own open to the'guests, and Messrs Parkers, with the lady inmates of the family, exerted themselves to make the affair a pleasant one for all concerned, and a general scene of jollity ensued. The ladies asserted their rights to the fullest exteut, were all attention to their blushing companions, leaving nothing undone that would add to the pleasures of the occasion. A sumptuous repast was «erved after which the gents felt strengthened for the festivities which awaited them on the floors above. Un­ der the influence of the splended music furnished by by the Geneva Lake Band, dancing was indulged in until the "we suia hours" had grown very large indeed. About fifty couple were present, and all voted it a success be­ yond anything the masculines in this section have yet been able to produce. Nothing was left undone by mine host Parker that would tend to- make it pleasant for all, the Ilall being tastily deccfrnted with Evergreens and Pict­ ures, briliantly lighted, pleasant and cheerful. The music by the Geneva Lake Band could not be beat, aiu^was praised on every hand. The Party! all. in all was pronounced the most pleas­ ant and enjoyable of any ever held in McIIenry,. Quite a number were pres­ ent from Chicago and Richmond, but- had the roads been passable a much larger company would have been present. KINGWOOP SCHOOL. EDITOR PLAINDEALER Permit me to submit a report of the Scholarship attained by my A. and B. grade pupils for the month closing the 19th inst., as perexatuination (in part oval, most­ ly wr i t t en ) he ld a t the c lose of t h e month. I had intended a three column report, of Attendance. Scholarship 'and Deportment. The attendance of^otno has been so irregular that it is difficult to figure the per cent. As regards the Deportment, the entire school stands 0. The relative standing of the pupil, is not necessarially to be taken by the highest per cent of Scholarship, as some who average higher have failed in one oi more examinations, and should not stand in the grade above one who has passed his examination in every sjtudy he pursued even though the littter mayt average lower. The relative standing is as it appears in the copy. CLASS A. Wm.

We failed to see anything from Solon in the Sentinel last week. Just as we expected. "Observer" overdone" him­ self. The task was too much for his soft head and weak brain.

Solon has got a preacher at last; a young man with more than ordinary talent. His name is Patterson. He preached an excellent sermon last Sab­ bath morning to a full house.

The Supper was gotten up by the Ladies of Harvard for the benefit of Mrs. Bailey, a widow lady. Supper 25 cents. The amount raised, after paying all expen­ ses., was #127.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Last Fri­ day night Ole Arneson's saloon was broken into and three chipped billiard balls, one set dominoes and checkers and some change was stolen. They broke out a pane of glass and unfastened the catch and went in the window. Ole had taken his pool balls home, so he saved them. • » „ Elder Collins baptized four new con­ verts last Sunday. The Pickle Factory whistle was heard as usual last week. We learn they are putting up the pickles ready for market. Mr. Waidner has confessed that he knew it was a swindle when he went into it. and now if the directors get rid of paying his 9260,000, why can't the factory be run neit year on a cash basis. Mr. Rinkios child was badly scalded the other day. His wife filled a pail with hot water and left it on the floor while she stepped out doors, when the childjipped the pail over. Mothers take warning. Last week Monday evening Wm. Nickle, County Super!ntendant, de­ livered a discourse iii the M. E. Church. It was as good as any sermon we have heard in ,j* long while, although he said he would not have it called so. Every one was well pleased, and about 20 went forward, Bub Tyrrell and Geo. Bryant, will no more be seen in their old places. George will no more look at you through the pigeon hole. Both will be missed. Well, boys, come around and see when you come to town. Micham is talking of selling out his livery stable to L. Walkup. If he does Waikup will put in some nice rigs. Quite a lively skirmish took place at the Depot on Friday evening last, be­ tween the conductor and brake man on the Fox River Road, and a passeuger who insisted on getting aboard the train without showing his ticket. He was put off after some resistance, but when the train started he jumped on the rear car. The train was then stopped and he was again put off, and l.e concluded to show his ticket. Why he persisted in being so mulish is not known, and that he got somewhat roughly handled in consequence will perhaps learn him that the rules of Railroad companies must be lived up to no matter whether considered arbi­ trary or not. B. D. Vosburg, our Artist, is at the head of his profession, and those who call on him for pictures are sure to go away satisfied, as no pictures are allowed to leave his Gallery unless satisfactory. That he is a superior Artist is an ac­ knowledged fact, "ball at his Gallery and see his specimens, and if you want a true Picture of the "Human face, Di­ vine," be sure and set for one while there. The prices are as low as at any other Gallery iu the county where good Pictures are taken. IIiclunoiKl Department. D. A. POTTER, EDITOR. WOODSTOCK. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--The Pickle war is over, and all have apparently settled upon taking what Heinz Noble & Co4, choose to pay. The Directors sent M. L. Joslyn to Pittsburg, toseeif the matter could be compromised on terms better than eighty per cent dis­ count. but he found that the Eastern creditors were offering to take two- fifths, while the Company offered but half t hat, and no arrangement could be made except to let the thing slide down the hill of the Bankrupt Law; during which operation it is probable that the receivers eight dollars a day. the Assignee's proportional, or equal fee, and other expenses will absorb the small fraction promised. The general Impression seems to be that Qeinz has out-maneuvred his partners and their creditors as well. J. M. Sout'.iworth has been appointed Assignee. That "Debate" came off according to programme, being decided by the audience in favor of the affirmative. It is conceded on all hands that Mr Gil- more made the most argumentative, and N. Donnelly the most amusing speech of the evening, while the "Profes80t"' got hinaself pretty badly t angled up in his notes, and the Parson could not say much on the negative as the leading speaker on the affirmative 'eft no opening for bis entering wedge, and he told stories. The exer­ cise seems to have taken well, as the audience came to be amused, and were not disappointed. OPD, NOTICE.

Jan, 1st, 1376, GREENWOOD EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--The meet­ ing for the permanent organization and for the election of officers of the "Greenwood L'terary Association," was held according to appointment on Friday eveniug last, with the follow­ ing list of officers elected for the en- lueing year. President, J. II. Colley, Five Vice Presidents, who constituted an executive committee, Rsv. Byron Alden, Dr. Wm. B. Hart, John Mansfield. S. Baldwin Esq, J. B. Crawford. Sec­ retary. J. II. Garrison; Treasurer, Heu- ry Baldwin. Miss M. Becker, Organist. The object of the Association is to raise funds for the purpose of procu­ ring a Circulating Library. Several grammatical questions were proposed for consideration at the next meeting. ^Also, a question for debate. Resolved, that all laws guaranteeing rights to one sex which are withheld from the other, are unjust and ought to be repealed, Leading disputants, Affirmative, W. B. Hart. Negative, Rev. Byron Alden. Mr. Toles has rented his Cheese Factorv to Thompson, Son & Garrison for three years. We understand it Is the intention of the firm to run the two factories in connection. J. M. Garrison to take charge of the Toles Factory. They propose to manufacture butter and cheese. They are hauling .lumber preparatory t-o building quite an ex­ tensive addition to the lower Factory, for the pnrpose of stowing ice Ac. The peculiar "cussedness" of sOthe of the boys In our little town, is becom­ ing intolerable, and any further for­ bearance cannot longer remain a virtue. Such conduct as was displayed on Sat­ urday evening last at the Church to be longer permitted, would be a shame and disgrace to any civilized and en­ lightened community, and now that there Is a sufficient amount of direct evidence against^ the guilty parties, the Directors of the Society do not propose to be imposed upon by such conduct any longer. Uuless the course and conduct of two or three boys in this place be not very materially changed, for the better, the power and virtue of the law will be summarily applied.-- Kind and gentlemanly treatment is no longer of any avail, aud when a young man so looses bis self respect and man­ hood as to become a source of annoy­ ance at all public gatherings and e»- speclallyat religous meetings, it is time, that some means were taken to rid the community Qf a nuisance. We do not speak in general terms when we say, "boys." As we are proud to say the greater portion of our young men and boys, (are like all other boys, fond of sport and yet.) are good boys. They have respect for themselves and the community in which they live, and it is not our intention to cast any reflection upon any. save those who know themselves, and whom the com­ munity know to be guilty.
