Pratt, of Wau- eonda. For States Attorney, C. T. P^ydecker, of Newport. For Coroner, ^r. J. K. Etter, of Avon. FROM the number of hunters daily seen going and returning from the , Lakes, hunting and fishing must, be good in that section. No one who has Cver visited these Lakes and learned of the pleasant resort and splendid sport, fails to come again, and consequently thei visitors are increasing every year. There is no better.liunting and fishing grounds in the West. This is the ver- iftctofall.

For the offence committed this was very light punishment, and we hope the boys will profit by the lesson and in the future so conduct themselves that our citizens may have no causa to regret that it was not more severe. H. N. HOLMES took the Census of this School District on Monday last, ami reports to us the following result: Number of males under six years old» 74. Number of females under six years old, 59. Males #ver six and tinder twenty-one. 158. Females over six. and under twenty-one, 144. Total in Dis­ trict under * twenty-one, 435. Mr. Holmes also informs us that he found three families, living not over forty rods apart, who gave in the names of thirty-one children under twenty-one years old, one family having 12. another 10, »nd the third 0. We think there is no danger of our population decreasing at thii rate. THE Woodstock Dramatic Associa­ tion covered themselves with honor on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of Inst week, in producing the five Act Drama, of'"The Lady of Lyons." which we do not hesitate in saying was brought out in a manner never equalled by any Amateur organization in the West, and very rarely excelled by pro­ fessional players. The character of Claude Melnotte, the Lady of Lyons, Madame Deschappelles, Mons Beau- seant, and Col Damas were Unexcept­ ionable. and left no room for criticism or improvement. This, Association are adding to their already good name by every play they bring out. We under­ stand they will play in Elgin this week. ON Thursday evening of next week, October 12th, will take place the Party at Riverside Hall, for the benefit of the McHenry Cornet Band, and every person who ever attends such gatherings should make it a point to be piesent on that occasion and put in their might to help the boys along. Our Band is making unusual progress. *nd promises to be equal to the best iu the country, but our citizens must remember that all this takes both time and money, and while they spend their time they should jaot be asked to bear all the expense. Prof. Slater's Band will ftir- uish the music, an Oyster Supper will be served, and all who attend can rest assured of a good time, We, hope the dancing public will turn out aud give tbe Band a rousiug benefit. WE were prevented by other busi-. nessfnona attending the Fair but one day last week, and then the weather was so disagreable we were unable to note but little that was going on. With the exception of one or two de­ partments the show was decidedly slim, which proves conclusively that the people of the County have lost ail interest In these annual Exhibitions, which Is certainly a deplorable state of thiugs. The cause for.all this we have not now time nor space to. discuss, but shall do so hereafter. It is a matter in which every *!itiaen .of the, <5011111}'is interested^ and a plain statement of facts may tend to bring about, a dls- cussiou that will lead to a remedy of that which now threatens to distroy the Society. We noticed among the show of horses some very fine animals, among which were sonpie very fine Morgan colts, owned by Asa W. Smith, of Woodstock, and a half blood Norman, owned by Page Colby, of McHenry which we will speak more^jparticularly of next week. Thesho%v of Hogs way about the same as in .Jfortner years, while in cattle there jras a very slim exhibition. The Agricultural Ma­ chinery Department w«8 well filled by the "Boss" Machine u||ju, T.J. Dacy, ot Woodstock, who i»e*er does things by halves. The Poultry department made a Fair showk but Floral Hall was almost a total faumre. Had it not been for the di#fav of Stoves by Thoe. Whitson #»oiws and Dry Goods by E. A. Murpfty & Co., the Hall would have been comparatively empty. The at­ tendance was fuliias large as in former years^btit there seemed to be that lack of inlgh'est in competing for Premiums Decenary to ensure a successful Fair. A ful] exhibition and strong eompeti- tlfon is what is needed, and there is no se in finding fault with your neighbor fpr not doing what you ueglect or re­ fuse to do yourself. WE MEAN BUSINESS. AH persons knowing themselves in­ debted to me are respectfully requested to call and settle.the same at once, as I want money to meet my demands. "Live and let live" js my motto, but In order to do this it is necessary that 1 collect what is now past due. B. GILBERT.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER October with Its cold winds is again present to greet us, as well as to warn us of the approach of winter. Overcoat* have been sought in their dusty retreats and again pressed into service. To the farmer it Is a bu*y month and most always to quickly gone by, as many crops are to be secured to prevent being injured by slight freezes that often surprise us during this month. Apples should ^be carefully gathered and placed in mod­ erate cool places until the near ap­ proach of winter. Potatoes must now be secured, but the great crop to be harvested is the corn which is now ready for the crib, but perhaps the most disagreeable job that fall to the lot of man to do, is to get out the stoves and set them up, get together the pipe and get it together (if j'oii cau) and with soot-begrinned visages aiul sore fingers be ready to pronounce a bene­ diction as the last joints reluctantly slip together. Business prospects continue dull i-i the extreme and monev seems almost to have passed out of circulation. Our merchants complain of finding much difficulty in making.collections aud we can only watch aud Wait for the dawu of more prosperous times. We have heard that Dr. Ball<)u has already leased the ground, and will soon erect a Warehouse and commence buying grain aud we sincere!3' hope that it may be so, as a business enter­ prise of this kind is greatly needed iu this place aud we think It will be found to be a good point. We say, success to the enterprise. It is witli sorrow we announce the deaths of Mrs. Alfred Buck and Mrs. Vermilyea both old residents of our town. Mrs. Buck died very suddenly it was thought In a fit ot apoplexy on Saturday night Sept. 30th. Mrs. Vermilyea has been sick sometime and has suffered very much but death re- U!e A*5 morning of Oct. 2d. They have go to their 'reward. Mr. Frank Doran's little boy was se­ verely cut 011 the ankle by a mower .as lie ran forward of the sickle unobserved by Mr. Doran until it was too late to stop the machine in time. The Sabbath School Concert was a very enjoyable affair, the house being densely crowded by an interesting and appreciative audience, while the schol­ ars of the several schools here repre­ sented seemed to enter into the spirit of^their instructions aud their decla­ mations and songs were worthy of" oldcrheads.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Last week was more thau usually full of business* including the Fair, the Court and the Theatre., As you were present at the first perhaps you will allow me to pass that, in a measure, leaving It to but considering the season and the con­ spicuous failures in adjoining and neighboring counties, the receipt of sixteen hundred dollars may hot be taken as ah entire failure. On Thurs­ day it was estimated that 5000 people were on thejground, and Friday per­ haps 3000. Had the Society received as much for the eating house and re­ freshments as last year the receipts would havs fallen but little if any' short of the amount one year ago. The Stallion race on the third day was won by Puzzler In three straight heats. Time 2:55. Bandy second, and the race of last day by Lady Mack. Time 2 ;454,2 ;45, 2 ;46 and 2:46. As usual the **elder" was around look­ ing up matters, his pencil behind his ear. What a pity that the elements of the Natural Sciences were not taught in the college where he learned his dictionary latin, htthat case he might have learned to know the difference oetween a carnivore and a rodent, be­ tween a ferijet and a squirrel. See Fri­ days Daily Blimderer. In addition to the above, the "elder" had a miscar­ riage last week--in his paper ;*having announced a birth that Is not yet a birth, and the week previous he mar­ ried a young couple who are not yet husband and wile. The question i& whether any moral community is safe containing so enterprising a man, and so re-/te-nble a paper. In court, Thurlwell and Wlial$n re­ ceived each sixty days in the county jail including time already served, and each twenty five dollars fine,. They plead guilty to one count of the Indict­ ment, nolle pros entered as to the others. John M. Andiews who picked his friends pocket in Woodstock about a month ago, plead guilty, but said he was on a spree. The court thought that not a sufficient excuse so sent him to Joliet for one year, ten days solitary confinement. In the case of Hayden vs., the C. & N. W. R. R. In which the plaintiff sought to recover damages for an inju­ ry to himself while at work for the company in the capacity of brakeman, through which injury his ankle was sprained. Lyon and Joslyn for plain­ tiff, Barge and Smith (B. N.) for the defendant, the Jury found no cause. The Lady of Lyons was a grand suc­ cess, and was played the best of any that the association has heretofore brought out, the faults being those of elocution only, some sentences being uttered iu 6uch a way as not to bring out the idea intended by the author, but this was their first time, and that will be corrected before they play at Elgin, as we understand they contem­ plate doing next Thursday aud Friday evenings, during the Kane County Fair. It is the intention to 6ring out the "Lady of Lyons one night, and the "Hidden Hand" the next. During the horse fair at Marengo our "bus" went to that town In the way of business and the authorities wanted ten dollars license. This year the Marengo "bus" come here for the same purpose and 011 objecting to the fee ($10) were refered to the precedent set by their^owu town. ' That's a game that two can play at with the odds in our favor. E. A. Murphy has gone East and Neil Donnelly has returned with the best stock of ready made clothing to be found in thismarket, if not in the county, as your correspondent knows by actual inspection. The boxes cover ed the sidewalks all last week and this is opening day, all the week. Some changes take place in our pdb- lic school to day, one- of the teachers stepping down and out, but just the extent of the going out and coming in has not come to our knowledge. Some men would learn after awhile that se­ lecting teachers through motives of charity or friendship, although it will fill places, will not always be for the best interest of the school. Whether our board will find that out remains to be seen. Hiring a teacher without a certificate and then trying to obtain one by influence instead of merit, might have been expected to produce the ef­ fect it has in this case. While upon this point it may not be out of place to state that one of the primary room! has 75 pupil« with seats for 80; that the school has been divided so that, p^rt attend in the forenoon and part in the afternoon. This gives rise to a great deal of uomplaint, and justly too, for little ones ought to have short recita­ tions and have them frequently, f6> the reason that children soon wear}' of auy thing but play aud when the inter­ est lags the lesson should be di6coutin-r ued for a short time. One lesson a day for those just beginning in school is practically no lesson at all, nor is there; any reason in law or logic why parents should submit to such an imposition. SQUBBRS.

We wish them a pleasant journey. The Sabbath School Concert given at the M. E.

Miss Hugg has taught several successful terms iu this school and is highly esteemed by alarge circle of friends whose best Wishes fol­ low her. This being Court week many of our citizens have been called to Woodstock against their wishes to testily tn the Hall--Clothier suit, which has been brought up and passed over so many times.
