"OLD SOL." showed his face for about five minutes on Tuesday last, the first time he has made his appearance for the past week. This kind of weather makes everybody look and feel gloomy. THE Band were out giving some of our citizens a serenade on Thursday evening last." They are progressing rapidly, and even now are giving mu­ sic equal to almost any of the old Bauds in the county. A little girl gets confused. After kbeing tenderly tucked up in her crib, mamma said: "Now your prayer." The response came from the little one, hslf*asleep: "Now I lay me down to sleep, when the wind blows the cradle will rock. Amen." A Chicago man lost $12 out of his ^jrest pocket election night. We know of several men who lost several hundred dollars out of their pockets on the same occasion, and lt is a close thing if they ever see a cent ©f it a^ain. The Chicago man should feel happy. WE would call the attention of our readers to the new advertisement of L. Stoddard,to be found in another column. His stock of Hats, Caps and Underwear is complete, and good Goods, and when he says he will sell at cost he means tMufinesa. Call and see him. k DURING a heated political discussion, a rural democrat boiled over witli In­ dignation and said: "What are you going to do with the Seventh Com. mandmentf The democrats couldn't pay the rebels if they wanted to! That there commandment wouldn't let em!" J. A. DUFIELD has purchased a Steam Feather Re;ne vat or, and is now pre­ pared to make old Feather Beds bet- tar than new, on short notice and at reasonable rates. All he has to do is to say "presto change" and one old feather «will fill a pillow in no time. Fact. If you deif.t believe it.ask Jim. ON Friday night last the store of Geo. B. Amea, Belvidere, was entered by burglars, and goods, consisting of Cassimeres, Beavers, Shawls, Blankets, Mink Beas, &c., to the value of about $1,200 stolen. Mr. Ames oflers a liberal reward for the arrest af the parties or finding of the goods. VANTINE «FC IIOWE, are now canvass­ ing in this and Lake Counties with a Steam Feather Renovator, and from what we hear are giving goo„d satisfac­ tion. There is no discount but what this process-will aaiake old beds as good ^as new, and the small expense makes it In the reach of all. Read their bill and see what they can do.1 WE have received a new advertise­ ment from the firm of Lansing A Evanson which will appear next week. But in the mean time the buying pub- * lie should not fail to call and examine their immense stock of Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots and Shoes. Hats, Caps, &c. Their stock is complete in every particular, and their prices at bed reck. Look ©lit for their new advertisement THOSE of our young folks who desire to learn German should report their names at once, as Miss Widmer wishes to complete arisngements to open her evening school soon. If a Class of twelve or more is formed the tuition will be.$4/or a term of four months* two evenings a week. This is very rea­ sonable aed we bepe to see a large class formed at once. Names can be left at this office. THE benefit of advertising is shown in the ease of a merchant in one of our northern cities who put in an adver­ tisement in a paper beaded "Boy Wan­ ted." The next moririug he found a band-bex on his door step with this in­ scription on the top, **How will this answer?" ' On opening it lie found a nice, fat chubbv-Iooking specimen of the article he wanted. warmly done up iu flannel. THE other day wtaeu we wrote; "She took a dose of poison to assuage her grief," our "devil" made it read; "To sausage her grief," and then wanted his pay raised. GRANGER A ELLSWORTH shipped two cars of very fine Hogs from this station on Thursday last. They are buying quite extensively this fall, and arc pay­ ing as high as asy other dealers In the market. THE Third Animal Meeting of the Illinois State Dairymen's Associat ion, will be held at the Court House, in Elgin, Tuesday. Wednesday and Thurs­ day, December 12th, 13th, and 14th. We shall publish a full programme next week. WANNEM AKKR'S Panorama advertise il te show at ixillis' Hall on Saturday eve­ ning, but owing to the tightness of the money market, or some other cause, the audience failed to put in an appear­ ance, and the Pauorama was obliged to foot it otit of • town/' Oh, this cruel, cruel world. CHAS. M, H ANNA, who has canvassed the north western part of McHenry county with O. C.

MOREV, Duputy Postmaster in this village, has put in a circulating Library at the Post Office, and the reading public cai. there find all the standard works of the day which he will loan at the moderate sum of twen­ ty-five cents a month. Call and ex­ amine his books, and no matter what your taste Charley can give you some book that will just suit you. SMITH A SNYDER, Lumber and Pro­ duce Dealers, at the Depot, are doing an extensive business. It is unquestion­ ed that they handle more Lumber than all the other dealers in McHenry Coun­ ty, and in the matter of Grains and other Produce, they buy anything the farmer has to sell, paying the highest market price in cash. The£ pay out on an average, over $1000 per day, and some days as high as three or four thousand. They are live, go-ahead men, and will not be outdone in any­ thing they undertake. WE had the pleasure of witnessing the play of the Harvard Dramatic So­ ciety on Thursday evening last, at National Hall, Woodstock, when tliej) produced the Five Act Drama of/^£he Streets of New York." We have* seen this Drama enacted several times be­ fore, but we must say, taking the size of the Stage, and everything else con­ sidered, this Society produced it fcqual to any we ever saw. We have not the space to particularize, but must say that Abbott, as badger, has few equals, lie is simply immense. IN another column can be found u new advertisement of R. R. Rothgerber Nun da, who has just filled up his gtore with a large and well selected stock of Dry Goods, Clothing. Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, Groceries, &c., which he is offering at prices that defy competi­ tion. Our readers in that section should not fail to give him a call when in want of anything iu his line, as he cannot fail to suit you both in quality and price. His Goods are all fresh and new and selected with especial refer­ ence to the wants of the people. Read his advertisement. WE would again isrnind our readers, and especially the dancing public of the Thanksgiving Party, to be given for the benefit of the McHenry Coronet Band, at the Parker House on Thurs­ day evening of next week, Nov. 30th. They have secured the services of Prof. Slater and his full quadrille Band, for the occasion, and when we say that this music cannot be beat in this neck of the woods, we mean just what we say. Mr. Slater is one of the finest musicians in the Northwest, and a No. 1 caller, and therefore all who attend this party can rest assured of the best of music. The Supper will be gotten up in Parkers best style, and we have no hesitancy in saying this will be the Party of the Seasen. Remember in attending this party you are not only bound to have a good time, but will add your mite to help the Band along. Do not fail to go. FOX KIVER VALLEY MILLS.

It appears from what we can learn from eld residents here, that she has lived in this vicinity for some years, and of late has become addicted to the excessive use of intoxicating liquors. She was in the village op Fri­ day afternoon. On Saturday morning a neighbor passing her shanty discover­ ed her remains burned to a crisp and a hole burned in the floor some four feet square. The supposition is that she went home on Fridas* night ill a half stupid state, and lighting her fire lay down at the side of the stove, a spark from which caught her clothes on tire, and she being too helpless to help her­ self or give, the alarm, perished. The body was almost entirely consumed, but strange to say the fire burned all around the body, and then seemed to hare gone out of its own accord. A Coroners Jury was summoned, who af­ ter due deliberation brought in a ver­ dict in accordance with the above facts. The deceased was a native of Ireland and has lived alone for several years, being taken care of principally by the town. iM Real Eatate Transfers.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Now that UPatters in the sphere of politics have assumed so Hayzy an aspect.it is use­ less to discuss the subject.and men turn their attention to the study of the 12th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, that they may become more familiar with the complicated machinery that apjpears to have been devised for ne other purpose than to render certainty, uncertain. The stakeholder seems to be the only lucky individual in the com­ munity as he is likely to have the use of some one's money tilt the 4th of March, without paying interest. The way they manage matters in Louisiana, the Electoral vote of-that State wiil not be canvassed on the "-first Wednes­ day in Decembir" for the reason that, if they comply with the law in the matter of examining that pile of 2000 to 2600 affidavits from those five dis­ puted parishes, besides sending for persons and papers, it will be a physi­ cal impossibility to get through it in this time, without hearing arguments, as they are requi red to do, and if they don't get the Electoral vote in on that day it will be void for informality.-- One thing they will do,--draw their five dollars a day. That Electoral College*" business ap­ pears to be a blessing in disguise. There is not an item of news except that the Teachers' Association met here on Saturday last, and although the day was about sis unfavorable as could be imagined, there was a fair attendance; McHenry, Crystal Lake, Algonquin, Woodstock, and some country schools being represented. The Secretary will doubtless furnish you with the report. Mr. Northcott has returned from his Eastern trip and commenced dispens­ ing the Gospel two weeks ago by dis­ cussing the "creed question"--one that not one In a hundred cares a straw aboqt, or has sufficient iuterest in to mike, or demand, an intelligible state uient of his own; still, many were cur­ ious to hear wjhat he might say about it, aqd the house was well filled. Last Sunday he devoted the most of his ser­ mon on "Creeds and Newspapers," to discussing the headlines announcing the election returns in the daily papers of the previous week. He thought them irreverent, and many of them profane. Mr. Northcott is to continue in the creed business through the win­ ter. SQUEERS. WAUKECAN --Argonaut, the four-year-old stallion belonging to Mr. Helm,of Lake Forest, drew the sweepstakes premium at the Waukegan Fair. The prize is a silver ice pi teller, and is ou exhibition at the storf of Dodge and Watrous. --The law firm of Williams & Whit­ ney is among the recent local ventures. Mr. Whitney will vacate his present rooms after the November term of court, and occupy the very pleasant office on Washington St., between Utica and West Sts., with J.

Dow.ifc Co., had the misfor­ tune to catch his left hand in the machinery and fracture the bones of the third finger. Dr. Evans dressed the wound and the patient is now doing well. --On Wednesday evening last the colored pedestrian.--familiarly known as Kaiser,--attempted to walk 20 miles in 3 hours and 28 minutes at Phoenix Hall in this city. The entertainment did not "draw" to any great extent, the receipts of the evening being hard­ ly sufficient to pay the hall rent. The crowd not being very inspiring the pedestrian slacked his effort and made but 19 miles and 20 laps in 3 hours and 27 minutes, stopping 8 laps short of the 20 miles, with only a minute time to spare.--Oazette. Over Coats, Men and Boys Suits at lower prices than ever at Bucklin A Stevens. To Whom It May Concsrn. I have been running the new Ameri­ can Sewing Machine for some time and can cheerfully recommend it te all. There is really no fault to be found wUkit. It runs very lightly,is thread ed with remarkable ease, does the finest of work or makes a stout seam.on heavy cloth with equal facility. In addition to its other good qualities it is a very ornamental piece of furniture. Friends at the East (where it is very popular) recommend it very highly for durability and say as a family sewiug machine it cannot be surpassed, it does so many Rinds of work and does all so well.
