Whitson & Sons, Hardware dealers. Woodstock, to which the attention of our readers in that section is particularly called. EXCHANGES all say, "look out for counterfeit half dollar coins dated 1853 1875 and 1876." It's the other kind-we are looking out for, and without much success either. < THERE is a general cry for small change, especially for the silver half- dimes. By all means let the mint coin them. For ourselves, we greatly prefe twenty-dollar gold pieces. it Y . . . „ , . . . . _ > O U R new Band is IT is to be on the 28th inst, this time sure. We mean when the world is WE learti from reliable authority that HOJK Hank McLean will be a candi­ date for the Legislature at the coming election. Hank knows the ropes, and if he don't get elected it won't be his fault at all events. We propose to in­ terview him on the subject and report more fully hereafter. E. PERKINS, of this village, has left on our table a Beet that is hard to heat. It is 19$ inches long, girts 18 inches around the largest part and weighs a littie over nine pounds. If there is any gardner who can beat .this we should like to hear from him at once. (' GEO. GAGE is putting up a building just West of Buckltu & Stevens Store, which is to be 20x48, and two stories high. It is to b6 occupied by John M. Smith as a Hardware Store, the room which he now occupies iu Gieseler's Block being too sn>?.!! to accommodate his increasing trade. D WIGHT & FORREST, corner of Main Street and the Public Square, Wood­ stock, have a new advertisement this week. Their Stock of Boots and Shoes is the largest in the County, and their prices as low as the lowest. Read their advertisement, arid when at thg Fair give them ji call. . ; - -- J. STORY, dealer in Hardware, Stovee, Ac., whose store is opposite Owens' Mills, has caught the improvement fever, and erected a new Street Lamp in front of his store, which is highly ap­ preciated by those who travel that way dark evenings. We hope more of our business men will be numbered in this list, as Street Lamps these long wiuter evenings are much needed. THE Dancing Public should bear in mind the Harvest Party at the Parker House on Friday evening of this week. No pains are being spared to make this the Party of the season. Tin best of music will be in attendance, and after a season of dancing Parker will serve up a repast such .as no man knows how to do better than him. If you want a good time don't fail to be on hand Fri- ay evening. mean coming to an end. This being the 77th post ponement of that remarkable event the Millerites cannot wait any longer. J. B. BABCOCK, of the Marengo Re- . publican, H. E. Patridge, of the Wauk- egan Gazette, and J. Y Cory, a former editor of the Gazette, made us pleasant Cflls on Saturday. They were here at­ tending the Senatoral Convention. HAN LET & SONS have just finished\/j MR. WALKER, Agent for the Bio- burning a Kiln of their celebratep 'graphical Directory of McITfenrv Conn- Brick, and are now prepared to fur­ nish all who desire. The Brick made by the Messrs. Hanleys are second to none in the State, both as to durabili­ ty and finish. S. W. CHAPMAN, Secretary of the Elgin Agricultural Society, will please Accept our thanks for a Complimentary to their next Fair, which will be held in Elg in on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Oct. 4th, 5th, Gth, and 7th. THE first entertainment given by the Ri ngwood Literary Society on Friday ev«n:tig last, was a grind success. We learn that the house was well filled and that all were well pleased. They are now talking of repeating these Plays at an early day. J. LANSING advertises an Auction of Stock. Fjuuviag Tools, &c., to take place at his farm, four miles South west of MoHenry, on Saturday Oct.. 7tin commencing at 10 o'clock A. M. Those !u search of bargains will do well to bear this iu mind. WE have received a now advertise­ ment from Bucklin & Stevens which will appear next week. In the mean­ time they are constantly receiving a large stock of Fall and Winter Goods, to which they invite the attention of the buying public. How often, when the sable curtains of night are drawn around the world, will vivid pictures of his boyish days come back to the businessman who has had green peaches and cream for sup­ per. and who cannot find the bottle of paiit killer. THAT some one "bled for his country*' is evident from the amount of blood in front of the Post Ottie<?on Tuesday morning, but who he was or what was the matter is a mystery. The individ­ ual, whoever he may be, should bear in mind that the Slaughter house is on the other side of the river. VASEY & HOLMES, is the name of a new firm to be found at the old stand of J. E. Vasey, Ringwood, and who have put in a large stock of Stoves, Tinware, Table and Pocket Cutlery, Boots, Shoes, Rubbers, and also a stock of Cigars and Tobacco, to which they Invite the attention of the buying public. Read their advertisement in another column. Ox Tuesday next the Fair will open at Woodstock, and shoyld the weather prove favorable, as we have no doubt It will, a large crowd may be expected. The officers now report everything complete, and present indication are that the Exhibition will be the largest ever known in the County. Let no citizen of McUenry county fail to spend at least one day at the Fair, taking along his whole family. making rapid pro­ gress, and bids fair to be second to none before the Winter is over. The Teacher, Mr. Slater, is highly pleased with the manner in which they are taking hold of the matter, and says that but few Bands that have been organized a year can do as well as they do now. Let our citizens encourage and help them along, and we will soon have reason to feel proud of the McHenry Cornet Band, ty, who has been assigned to this Town­ ship, is now in town visiting our citi­ zens and gathering information for that valuable work. We trust that he will meet wP.h great encouragment. and that the number of names he de­ sires to assure its publication may be obtained. The principle adopted by the Publishers are different from any we have seen and assures to subscribers that they will receive in every respect what they have contracted for. THE following, which we clip from the Emporia, Kansas, JVT'U'tf, will prove of interest', as the deceased was former­ ly a resident of this county, aud has many friends and acquaintances in Mo- Henry. DIED.--In Emporia, Kansas, Wednes­ day morning. Sept. G. 1876, Mrs.Hannah, wife of George Clapp. . Mrs. Clapp was boiiv Nov. 22, 1835, and came to Kansas iu May 1867. She was ill with fever, and had apparently began to recover, so that Mr. Clapp re­ turned to Newton Tuesday evening, aiuX she died very suddenly the next morning. Mrs. Cla^p was a very wor­ thy and est imable lady, and Iter family have the full sympathy of many friends As will be seen by a notice elsewhere fti! Independent Greenback Meeting has been called to meet at Riverside Hall, in this village, on Saturday next, afternoon and evening, for the purpose of organizing a Greenback Club, aud otherwise farthering the Independent and Greenback cause. John M. Curry, nominee for Member of Congress on the Greenback ticket in this District* will be present and address the meet­ ing. and other eminent speakers on the Greenback question have been invited and are expected to be present. There seems to be a general waking up on this question all o\cr the State, and the prospect is that they may make a formidable show at the polls. Read the call of the Committee elsewhere, and turn out and hear what they have to say on Saturday. SEPTEMBER signifies the seventh, from the I^ttin Septem, although it is the ninth mouth of our year. It was dedicated by the Romans to Vulcan. The ending of the name ember, or iwber, the Latin for shower, indicates that the wet season has set in. The Saxons called it Gerst-monat, from gerst, barley, as now that cereal should be' ripe for the sickle. This grain was much cultivated by them, as they made the common drinks of the people from it. Libra, the balance, is entered by the sun on the 23d, and is typical, of the day and night then being equal. The full moon nearest this day is the harvest moon. The 21st is St. Mathew's, and the 29th, Michaelmas Da}*, is the third quarter of the year. On the 2!st occurs the autumnal equinox. IN Pop Corn a"hd big Apples Uncle Stocker has the lead. He has Ifeft at our office a basket of edeii^ which must be seen to be appreciated, but as lor the apples they will have to be seen soon, if at all, as they are so toothsome we fear they will be Honest in a short time. The Pop Corn Is a new variety and is said to be the finest ever raised in this section. The ears and kernal are of peculiar shape, and that left at this office is attracting considerable at­ tention. Mr. Stocker informs us that he has about forty bushels of it, and will be able to supply all who are fond of this article, and what is Meter fn the long winter evenings? Real Estate Transfers.

THE Republican Rally on Monday evening drew out a full house, the seating capacity Of Riverside Hall be­ ing full, and many beiug obliged to stand. There were three speakers present, viz: Col. Geo. H. Harlow, and Geo. Sanborn, of Springfield, and Col. John S. Wilcox, of Elgin. We have neither the time nor space to give even a synopsis of their remarks, but suffice to say the ground was all cover­ ed from President down, and in an able aud comprehensive manner, and was listened to with marked attention by the large crowd in attendance. The Elgin Glee Club, which by the way are splendid singers, favored the audience with several excellent campaign songs, while the McIIenry Cornet Band filled up the spare time with some of their best music. The meeting did not ad­ journ until after eleven o'clock. Mi - ; 4 - Senatorial and Representative Convention Pursuant to call the Senatorial and Representative Convention, comprising the Counties of McIIenry and Lake was held at the Riverside House, in Mc­ IIenry, on Saturday Sep 16th. The Convention was called to order by J. B. Perry, Esq. and on motion F. E. Clarke, was chosen temporary Chair­ man aud J. B. Babcock, II. E. Patridge' and J. Van Slyke temporary Secreta­ ries. On motion of A. B. Coon a Commit­ tee of two from each county was ap­ pointed by the chair on credentials, consisting of B. N. Smith and J. M. Southworth of McIIenry county, J. Y. Cory aud J. M. Price from Lake Coun­ ty. The Committee reported the dele­ gation full and the delegates present entitled to seats in the Convention, being 22 from McIIenry and 17 from Lake. On motion the temporary officers were made permanent officer* of the Convention. Mr. Coon then presented the. follow­ ing resolution, which on motion was accepted and adopted, the vote being tajcen by counties. Whereas. The Senator from this district for the last four years has been from Lake Count}'. Therefore. Jiesolved, That the nominee for Sen­ ator be conceded to McIIenry County, to be selected by the delegates there­ from, and that the nominees for Rep­ resentatives be selected by the dele­ gated front'-their respective counties.

We have received the Book for the Registery of names of the Old Settlers of MoHenry County, and are now ready to receive and register all names, which may be done by calling at the PLAIN- DEAIER office, or by letter. When by letter be careful to give us .the follow­ ing particulars: Name; present Post Office Address; when born; where born; when came West; settled where. In all cases the name to be accompanied by the fee of 50 cents. We hope that ev ery old settler who has not already done so will Ifand iu their names at once. .,- J. VAN SLYKE. Assistant Secretary for Mcllcury County. NUNOA. EDITOR PLAIN DEALER NOW that the rainy season it over and the sun permitted to appear in its occasional course again shedding its light and warmth in our path, cheers up all class­ es of our citizens the merchant as well as the farmer, for while the success of the one depends upon the amount of trade he does the success of the other is in securing the products of his toil, in a good marketable condition, hence upon every hand we find the farmers very busy in cutting their corn which proves to be a good average crop. The season has been very favorable for the late pieces as no frost has put In an appearance yet, to Injure the most tender plants, the apple crop promi­ ses to be more than usual, and judging from the appearance of many orchards in this vicinity we should think that even an editor might haye all the fruit necessary to keep him good nittured. The Law Office of M. J. Ellsworth has taken a '•new departure" and may now be found at his residence on the hill west from the church. Mr. Josiali Walkup died at his resi­ dence, in this place, on the 12th inst. He was taken with Congestive Chills, and all attempt* to relieve him proved futile. He was one of the very oldest settlers of our town and has always indentified lifmself with tits growth and prosperity. The fune rati obsequies were held at the M. E. Church, of which he was an active and consistent member, on Thursday the 14tli inst., the church being crowded to its utmost capacity and yet a large number were unable to find even standing room in­ side of the aate-room. Kld6r Boring, of Chicago, conducted the funeral ex­ ercises. All^places of business were closed at 12 o'clock and so remained un­ til five, while the depot was draped with the insignia of mourning. Our citizens feel that they have lost an Im­ portant member, one whose iufluenoe and business accumen has done much to shape the 'ndusti ies of the place. Mr. II. G. Benton's store was entered by sonic scapegrace a few nights ago and about twenty-five or thirty dollars worth of cigars and tobacco taken. An entrance was gained through a rear window. 1'YRO. ARE we better than our ancestors were a hundred years ago? We rather think so, byt we have acpuired some things we might better do without. There was no cigar smoking thfen. And then there were no carpets, but instead oiled aud sanded floors, the ffand being swept in a zig-zag fashion by a broom. This was called "herring boning." Boots were unknown, the buckled shoe having the preferance. Obituary uoticeswere longer thattuow, and the ordiuary three-lined death notice would have been considered an insult. Marriages were as frequent,but the practice of extravagant presents was not I n vogue. Funerals were some­ thing else besides floral displays. But one feature has with increased eztrava- gance almost wholly disappeared. Then the young men commenced saving up so as to acquire a fund for startiug in business, or for being married, or buried with. Now the young men generally look to father or take their chances of getting a rich wife. Mean­ time, the Question with which we started, "Are we better than our ances­ tors were a hundred years ago?" remains unanswered. HARD MONEY OR SOFT. Bucklin & Stevens' take either, as well as Butter, Eggs and Poultry, and give in exchange good Goods at Bot­ tom Prices. JteaTThe name of Mr. Heywood, the Cashier of that Northfield Minnesota bank, deserves a place on the roll of heroes and martyrs. He dared to die rather than betray his trust. He looked calmly into the muzzle of a revolver in the hand of a desperate bank robber and refused toopen the safe although the refusal meant death. He must h ave known that death would be his fate but he met it without flinching. Not amid the excitements of battle­ field, but almost alone, and surprised by the «uddenness of »he demand upon him. he made the choice. He died but his honor was saved. Bucklin & Stevens are prepared with a full and complete stock of Seasonable Goods to .meet the wants of the buying public, and are hound to sell them at such prices as todefv any and all com­ petition. L 4STYoung Kullman, who some years ago attempted to assassinate Prince Bisniark, recently wrote from his prison his father, requesting him to intercede for him with the Prince, and if possible procure his pardon. His father declined to take any steps in the matter, and this so enraged the young man he assaulted one of his keepers and nearly killed him. l®*An Illinois paper groans because "this is the season of the year when the farmer's wife stands over a brass kettle doing up pears for her city visit­ ors to eat next August.'* This editor thinks that city visitors shouldn't have the '•persarves." He wants them himself. m fgrSome encouragment. in the pres­ ent financial embrassment, may be derived from the fact that the total amount of domestic exports from the United States greatly exceed the im­ ports. There is a falling off in imports this year as compared with iast year of 977,228,283,the total this year being #476,677,871. The amour^ of exports this year reached #644,956,406, an in­ crease of 01,861 639 over last year, and an excess over the amount of imports of 9188,278,535. This is a handsome balauoe of trade in ouf favor. Business Notices. I^The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific reports that the grasshoppers settled down so thickly on the track near Avoca, Iowa, on Monday, of last week, that it was next to imyossible for its freight trains to get along. The tracks became as soaped, on account of the wheels 'Crushing them, and the train men were actualy. obliged to go forward and shovel them off the Trains were delayed eight or houts on account of these pests; rails nine t6g*Postmaster General Tyner will shortly visit New York to confer with Mr. Vanderbilt about improving the mail service between New York and Chicago. He does not expect that Vanderbilt will consent to restore the fast mail on the Hudson river and New York Central railroad, but believed an arrangement can be made whereby a new train will be put on and the mails from New York and Boston delivered in Chicago some hours quicker than under the preseut arrange­ ment. I®"A Brooklyn minister has evolved a new way to make the contribution broan with pleehora. When the Dea­ cons go around this minister facetious­ ly urges the people not. to notice tijeni or the box, and by all means not to put anything into the contributions. This enlivens and amuses the audience, and makes them shell out handsomely. The champion curiosity of the century has arrived In Newburyport, Mass. It is a lady from Texas, who is on a visit to her mother in that city. She married and went to Texas twenty- five years ago, and although having a comfortable competence, she has never had a new bosnet since she left, but wears home one which sh« took away when she married. A full line of M. Selz A Co's Boots and Shoes, Custom made, and fully warranted and second to none in the market, at Bucklin & Stevens. The prices are cohsiderably reduced from last year. i^President Grant has instructed Gen Humphrys, who has charge of the river and harbor improvements, not to expend more than two of the five millions appropriated by Congress at its last session; and in oomplisncr with the order Gen. Humphrys has adopted the general rule to reduce eacli individ­ ual appropriation 60 per cent. Persons Interested in the improvements con­ templated by the appropriations are deluging the Secretary of War with letters, asking him to sanction the full e^peiiditu.-e. Announcement. Owing to the persistent urgency of many friends, in various parts of the county, who feel outraged at the re­ sult of the convention on Saturday last, at which instructions were violated, and other things done which are neither to the credit nor advantage of sound Rerpnblicanism; I have to-day, consented to enter the contest for the office of Circuit Clerk,regardless of the decision of that convention. And in this behalf I would ask all my friends throughout the county, to give my case a fair consideration, and th&u cast their vote and their lnfiueuc^for right and justice, on whichever eide'they may seem to lie.
