We wish him Ruccesst - Tne Vice-President of the 4ilferent towns in this county should call meet­ ings soon in their respectives towns to raise the necessary funds to defray expenses to the Old Settlers' Re-union on the 7th prox. Let it be done at •nee. jthere is no time to lose. The ?th of June will be here before We know it. , t. - P. D.

If yott ^rant to see how the shiners look call *1 hi* store and make a purchase, but aot tuck away all you get in au old •Stocking. Ktfep it moving, and then there will be HO scarcity of change. Two Weeks from to-day tlie Old Bettlers Meeting will be held at Wat'i- kegan. If you have not already done so make your arrangements to be there on that day. Fill your knapsacks the »*t before, and be ready for an early start', As the crowd will be immense. But We %re assured by our Waukegan friends that they will have .Beef euough for all. fake along your other fixings. THIS section has been visited the |>ast week with some of the severest tain storms, accompanied by thunder and lightning, which have occur*d in a long time, and as a consequence the tiver and Lakes are higher than known for several years. The weather has al- •0 been extremely Warm* but at the lime of writing, it has materially changed, and a cool North wind makes Winter clothes not Uncomfortable. What the next change will be remains to be seem FBOM the best advices we can obtain from all parts of the County, we are of the Opinion that the turn out to the Old Settlers* Meeting at Waukegan on the 7th of Jone, from this County will be immense. Should the weather prove good every mail should make it a point to go and take his whole family. The citizens of Waukegan have left nothing undone"toma"ke it pleasant for all who make them a visit on that occa­ sion. Tables will be set for each town, and am Die roast ox for all, and all you will have to do is to take along enough to sandwich ir. Make your ar­ rangements to lay all business matters aside for one daj%Jtnd with the Old Settlers talk over the memories of ye olden time* It will be a day long to be ftinembered with pleas are by all. WE learn that the East end of Johns- burgh Bridge fell on Sunday last, a team that was crossing at the time barely escaped going down with it; The timbers were found to be rotten, aud it is a great wonder that some ac­ cident his ttbt happened there before. The work of repairing will immediately commence* but it Will be some d*y» before teams will be able to cross. -- « . 9 E.M. OWEN was attacked by a Cfafcy steer that was being led through our streets towards tile slaughter house, one day last week, and had a Harrow escape from sevfert injury if not death. To save himself he jumped into the Mill Race where the watei* waa lip un­ der his arms, where he was followed by the steer, and it was only by good luck that lie escaped being gored. It was too close a call to bear repeating. WE hear of several cases of hfeit roost robberies of late in this village, and in one case some very choice blooded fowls were taken. The iowfest sneak thief in the world is oiie that will rob a hen roost, and if caught a special law should be made iipoti the s|Jbt for his4 especial case,'and he be made to ffeel that in the rise of sole leather the ghost of departed chickens were being revenged, and that no "guilty chicken thief be allowed to escape.* Y Now is the time that housekeepers have a perfect mania. They are seen with a towel around their back hair and neck* Thay tear tip Carpets, throw soap suds about, set a cold bite upon the pantry shelf for their liege lords, wear out brooms, scold incessantly,cry "more watery send a man two days looking for a little straw, leave a chunk of soap on the top stair to break necks With, and at the end of a we«k send for a doctor and a nurse* PISHING was good last week, and the bridge Was lined day and night with experts in throwing the spear, and the haul of the Red Horse promised to be abtindant when the heavy rain set iu Which raised the water so high that spearing is now out of the question, and in fact fishing of any kind will be poor until the water settles and lotoehs somewhat, which will be but a few days after the weather once gets settled. Then look out for some rare sport in that line. E. G< PAYNE, the new dealer in Ag­ ricultural Implements at Volo, is doing a lively busiuess in this line, and is supplying the farmers lit tlifct part of Lake County with the best of .Sfachin- ery, and at prices that give general satisfaction. Ho also has a store well filled with a general stock of Hardware Dry Goods, Groceries Notions Ac., which the buying ptiblicWill do Well to call and examine.* "Quick sales and small profits" is his motto, and Satis­ faction guaranteed or no sale. ONE of the biggest feats of spearing that ever came under our observation took place from the bridge One day last week, when thirty four Boll heads were hauled ifp at one stroke of the spear. If there is any fisbeftnftn in this or any other seetion that Can beat that we Would like to hear fromi him at once. (It vrOuid sfwll the story to say however, that tliey were strung upon a line, and had escapad frtfiri u fisherman above, so we won't saj* any tiling about that.-) WHii/E fishing one day last week, a small boy fell from the Steamboat pier, and came near being drowne'd, before he cotild be rescued. He" was goiug down for the last time Wh«n he was hauled out. Taking into Consider­ ation the reckless manner in which these youngsters are allowed to run around the boats and bridges, it will be something strange if we don't have a job for the Coroner before the sum­ mer is gone. A little cantioil on the part of parents might save this unnec­ essary expense. WE present to our readers this week the first of our regular letters from the Centennial, which together with our Washington letter, will hereafter ap­ pear each week, and will prove highly interesting, particularly to those who do not find it convenient to visit Phila­ delphia in person. We are sparing no pahis to make the PLAINDEAL£K interesting to1 all, and to please oar many readers shall be ottr aim in the future as in the past, and that our ef­ forts sire appreciated is evidenced by onr constantly increasing subscription list, which now stands second only to any in.the county. %<ilAYO,s Centennial Combination" is advertised to give two entertainments in this village on Thursday, (to-mor­ row) which promise to be highly in-, teresting. Among the attractions pre­ sented will be Prof. Mayo's School of Educated Horses, Ponies, Mules and Dogs, whose performances are pro­ nounced by both the public and the press to be the' most remarkable 6f any trained animals ever exhibited. Dur­ ing the performance Prof. Mayo's cele­ brated trick horse "Fire Fly" will jump through hoop of solid fire, a feat never performed by a horse before. There will also be two first class Clowns, a popular Minstrel Troupe, and many other attractions, all of which Will be shown under one large T^nt for one price of Admission. Reitietnber this graud combination will be in HcHenry Thursday (to-morrow,) May 25th; and will exhibit afternoon and evening; ONE of the saddest events which it is our lot to record for many a day is the death of "Will" Thomas, (as hi Was familiarly known) of Woodstock^ who took his own life while in a fit of tem­ porary iusauity on Friday l&st. From One who talked with & friend in Chica­ go, where '-Will" has resided for this past few years, we leard that hi lias acted strangely for some Weeks, the canse being attributed tb to6 close ap­ plication to duty, being employed in the Abstract Office in that city, and he has been repeatedly Urged to take a vacation. On Friday morning his wife did pursiiade hind not to go to the office at the usual hour, but between 8 and 9 he left the house and not fretur- ning at noon, and it having been asceF» tained that he had hot been at the office, the telegraph was put in u6e and the sad st^ry told. It Appear* that he left home just ih tinie to catch the 9 A.M. train from Chicago, and reached his.fathers hdu&e at 11$, where he com mitted the unnatural act, aud before any one knew of his arrivali He was a young man of more than ordinary abil­ ity, sociable, large-hearted and loved a nd esteemed by all who knew him. That there was any cause for this rash act except an overworked body and mind, producing temporary derange­ ment, there is not the least cause to suspect. He leaves a wife and two children, who, together with his pa­ rents, brothers aud sister hav4 the heartfelt sympathy of all. His funeral was attended on Sunday last by a large concourse of friends, the services being conducted by the Masonic fraternity, of which he was an honored member. THE improvement on Farm Gates lately patented by the Sherman Bfos^ of McIIcnry, is in our opinion iuidoubt- edly the cheapest, most economical, easiest operated and constructed of any gate we iver saw, and must ultimately take its place on every well regulated farm in the United States. The im­ provement consists first ih the method of hanging, Which consists of a piece of fenee wire and asmali cast iron pivot, the cost of whi£h does not exceed fifteen cents to a gate. The tiiiluner in Which they are applied most effectually Swihgft the gate with the greatest ease, security and durability, and can be at­ tached to any farm gate in a few mo­ ments bv anyone having the slightest experience in the use Of hatchet or saw. Secondly the Latching arrange­ ment is the most simple and perfect ever gotten up, and is a peculiar fea­ ture of the Patent, and in combination With the hanging arrangement makes the Whole improvement a simple per­ fection'. In connection with the hang­ ing method they have also Patented an improvement for openiug aud clos- ing gates from the carriage or wagon without stopping, which, to say the least,- is ah iiigertious invention ofmiich merit and deserves patronage Tor its utility and labor saving services. This arrangement is simple,- durable and easily attached and ope'rates a gate with mechanical certainty in the hands of man or boy. M. iCelter, of this vil­ lage,- is abont starting out t<* sell form,- town and County Rights for this indis- pensible invention, 4ud we bespeak fefr him a candid hetirirtg and careful ex­ amination of the model,- as we.,are sat­ isfied there is no more common sehse and useful inventfou now before the public. No farmer can afTord to do without one of these gates. FOURTH OF JULY.

B. SMITH; WOODSTOCK. EDITOR PLAINDEALER :--Such dash­ ing, pout ing rain, such lurid lightning, such claps of thunder, are seldom wit­ nessed as was ours to view on Thursday night of last week and on Friday mor­ ning, city, and country could boast of waterfalls rivelets and lakelets. ften gathered in groups and talked excited­ ly over the* sc*ne, Women were enthu­ siastic, Boys, busy in the construction of minatnre mills,- eanals and water- crafts,- plunging in regafdics* of depth 6r current, and girls looked on and sighed for girl-liood rights to romp and plunge as well as boys. Farmers rehearsed to one another of soil, grain, and fences washed away, of gullies dug, bridges destroyed and other mischiefs "too numerous to mention^" Thus did gossip while away the forenoOn. Would that no sadder theme had oc­ cupied from then till now. But alas not so. The suddeu and untimely death of Geo. W. Thomas, betted known by the cordial name of "Will," monopolise the conversation. Will had groWn fioUi Loy-hood CJ instils estate In our midst aud won fof himself the gsteeftt of all who knew liim< lie was one 6f the few of whom It cdU truthfully be said, lie knew or did ho# Wrong, with evil intent; BefoVed by all, esteemed by all, the inducements which led to tbis Unnatural act is shrouded in mys­ tery,- and the inquisitive world must wait aud wait, and perhaps in vain, to know the cause. The shock to his pa­ rents was doubly severe as they were wholly ignorant of his presence, until notified of the fatal deed. To Witness the agony would melt the hardest heart and force the tears from eyes 0f adamant.- The large audience gather­ ed to witness his burial,- the conver­ sations all in under toues, the gener­ al gloom worn by every countenance* the fraternal graspof friendly hands quietly but cordially extended all joined to tell the deep toned Universal sympa­ thy tendered to the bereaved, and sorely afflicted friends. That widoWed wife, those two fatherless children, that father, that mother,- that only sister, that brother present and brother absent all have the sympathy of tyeir large circle of friends and ac­ quaintances and may it aid them to endure trials so severe.
