THE team of -Billy Thomas who re­ sides on the John Colby farm, made a lively runaway on Saturday evening, winding up by running into the creek near the new Bridge, which effectually cooled their ardor. They were rescued ot much the worse for their spree and with but slight dimage to the wagon. WE learn that a buggy containing a man and woman was stopped somewhere in or uear this village oil Sunday night last, by what was supposed to be triiuips. It would be well for persons out after dark to go prepared to give these gentry a warm reception.

WE had the satisfaction of tasting a sample of Butter from the priug Farm Creamery, II. C. Mead Proprietor, a,id must say that it is second to none made tnthe couuty. Mr. Mead is a practical Butter maker, and on the market the Butter made by him commands the highest price. O. W. OWEN and wife and Miss Clara B. Owen started for the Centennial on Thursday fast.

ON Thursday, ro-tnorrow evening, takes pi aire the Party for the Benelit ot the Mcllenry Cornet.

The boys are doing remarkably well, and should not be compelled to toot all the bills. Therefore we say turn out on this occasion and give them a rousing benelit. Prof. Slater's Band will furnish the music. THERE was a great commotion in the jail lust Tuesday. Giddings the forger, who had been complaining of l eiug feverish for a day or two. broke out iu a fiery-eruption on his face and hands. A fellow prisoner toldf e Sheriff that it was a case ot small |M>X; lie had sren SOOcasesofit and there could be no doubt about it; the man ought to be removed at once. The Sheriff set on foot an investigation, that resulted in discovering that a little girl had brought them a bottle of croton oil liniment, and hat the eruption had been produced by amioiutiug his hands and face with that.--Sycamore Repub­ lic a /i. WE heard a farmer tell this little story yesterday: Once lie was picking up potatoes that had been dug just as evening came on. aud when about five bushels remained on the ground, and he was hastening: to finish the job be­ fore it became too late to see them, he was called to his house, some distance from the field, by request of a man about fij feet high, who expressed a wish to see him on business. He left the potatoes and went to the house, being enough to poison a whole neigh­ borhood in a single day, and yet the children of our Public School are daily playing ou the border of this green anld slimy pool. But a few rods be­ yond it is a rit-e of ground that needs grading, that would furnish earth enough to till it up,' and the expense would be compaiatively small. Then we say, why is this not attended to at once P There are several cases of sick­ ness now that might, no doubt, right- fuily be laid to tuis cess-pool, and the health of our village should no longer be endangered by it. Will our Board take t his matter under immediate ad­ visement. SCHOOL U:;PORT.

Philbrick has just been replenishing his store with a large and well selected stock of new goods in order to meet the wants of his customers, which he is selling down below hard pan prices. A rather amusing circumstance oc- cured a few days since, in which a cer­ tain celebrated Veterinary Surgeon of this place was called upon to pass judg­ ment upon and administer remedies to, what was supposed to be a sick liorse. After due e xamiiiation by the man of knives and slicks, it was decided that the horse was affected with what was termed the "new Boston horse disease" tiiat the tongue of the animal was de­ caying at the roots &c. Certain reine-and asked the man what lie wanted. The reply was. "Mr. So-and-so wishes I dies were ordered to be applied, but you to lend him your fanning mill!" i all jf no avail. The horse must die. A^bystander who \\,ns listening to the ; A few days elapsed, when a young maii farmer's storv said: "1 suppose vou let , happened along, thought to examine the rest of the potatoes lay on the i into the mysteries of this new disease, ground ami went right off and got. your j when peering about in the animals team and took that fanning mill to Mr. j mouth, expecting no doubt to see the So-and-so"s barn ?"

EDITOR PLAINDEAI.EU:--It is quite a long while since you heard froin me last. 1 did not write, for the simple reason,that 1 hail nothing of impor­ tance to communicate to your readers. But now. as the Presidential election is drawing near, it might not be amiss to make a few notes about the public sentiment, as it shows itself at the State capital. Of enthusiasm, there is at least in Springfield very little to be seen in this centennial campaign. It is true, we have had some two or three torch-light procession, but in size aud c;.thu-'ii«.*ui they cauuotcvcu compare cvith the rather tame demonstration of 1862". The Democrats of this county either believe that victory will be theirs at all events, or that a complete defeat is inevitable, for they are doing nothirg to show that they are alive yet. The Republicans, have at last rented a"wigwaui" where they gather once or twice a week. The eyes of all sortsof politicians are turned "Indiana- wards. The result of next week's elec­ tion is eagerly awaited by everybody Ou'if depends to a large extent--if not altogether, the election for Presi­ dent. The contest is a hot one as both parties have reasonable hopes of elec­ ting their ticket. A few more days and the result will be known and all doubts removed. The anuual couuty Fair of Sangamon county took place on the IS--22 of Sept. It-was a good exhibition but the rainy weather we had that week done so much damage, by keeping the masses of people away that the association was unable to pay the premiums in full. They paid 50 per ct. now, promisiug to pay the balance within a short time. The dome of the new State llouso is nearly finished now. The inside too is rapidly approaching completion, and our next legislature will hold its session iu the elegant, spacious hall1,gorgeously fited up for this purpose. The new Opera House, which has been erected iu the place where the old one burned down last February is also completed aud will soon be opened. Ou Sunday night Sept, 24th, a slight earthquake was felt here. It was of short duration but strong enough to cause dishes, and other things lying loose in the house, to rattle. It is a queer feeling to wake up at night and feel the earth, the foundation of all fouudatious^wavering to and fro, like a boat on the sea. This has been a year of excursions. There was hardly a week in which not several of tliern took place. The last was the one of the "red heads" who went to Petersburgh, the 5th inst. All the orators of the day were "brick tops" and a band entirely composed of the "solferino tinted" enlivened the occasion by their music. The Base Ball season is nearly at an end. Springfield has now the reputa­ tion of having the best amature nine in central Illinois. Yesterday^ they playred the Boston Red Stockings, the score standing 16 to 3 in favor of the Bostons. Our boys did of course not expect to win the game, but.if it had not been an "off"day'1 for them, they would have made it hot forthe fourth professional club of the county. OAFITOL, GEN. S. A.

EDITOR PEAIXDEALER:-F-THE; past week lias been uncommonly cool for this season pf the year and the cold October winds have made things rath­ er lively around town, especially the dust, which has been set whirling and flying in all directions to the great dis­ gust of all pedestrians. Our streets have been put in line condition by the undefatigable labor of our Street Com­ missioner and many of our streets have new sidewalks, which speak volumes for the enterprise of our towh. We should judge from the numoer teams in town that business was on an upward tendency, and hope to hear soon that the farming community have effected an exchange of the products of their toil for a large amount of the na­ tional currency which they are anxious to dispose of before election. Preparations for the approach of winter are visible iu various parts of town, in that wood piles are l>eing re­ plenished, coal houses filled, and ^nuch plastering being done. We are much pleased to learn that the School Superintendent has decided t^ hold the Teachers' Institute at this place this Fall, and we hope our citi­ zens will duly appreciate the influence it will exert in our midst aud thus open their doors to at least the female teachers that may be present. Prof. Hewett will be expected to be present, as well as other teachers of experi­ ence. Mr. Xijah Beardsley has sold his farm to Mr. George Raidle, who has recently returned from the old country, where lie has been visiting his friends. Elder Ilewes preached his farewell -Il^coursc to his ccngrcgalion on last Sabbath, as is expected, for he may be transferred to other fields where labor­ ers of bis ability are needed, but where- eVcr his dut ies may call him, the well wishes of our citizens'will most surely follow him as his association® with us for the past year have endeared him to us iu very many ways aud forms.
