ALREADY dealers in agricultural im­ plements are getting in supplies for the spring trade, and the expectation is that there will be an unusually large demand for that class of goods the coming season. Our dealers should commence at once to tell their custom­ ers through the columns of the PLAIV- DEALER, what kind of implements they will handle this season, aud at What prices they Can be bought. MEN who advertise understand!ngly don't do so with a view of introducing themselves to the public; it is their merchandise and one who fancies that he is so generally known that he don't need to advertise must either believe he has some mesmeric charm about him Or leave the public to infer that the same goods that tilled his shelves and counters Ave years ago (when he did advertise) are still offered for sale. THE Wauconda Dramatic Society gave their second entertainment at Riverside Hall on Thursday evening to a crowded house, and all went away more than satisfied with the entertain­ ment. As we said last week they are as Amateurs second to none, and Wau­ conda has just cause to feel proud of hor Dramatic Society. We hope they will conclude to visit us again at no distant day, and give us another of their interesting entertainments. \ EDITORS are long suffering and kind, but they cannot consent to take post- hole augurs on subscription. As one of the suffering fraternity once said to a pntron, "It's natural for us to accom­ modate, and we will cheerfully take threshing machines, meeting houses, second hand teeth, or any such articles as are of every day use. on subscription but we have no earthly use for a ma chine of such delicate intricacies as : post-hole augur, and prefer not to take one unless we are obliged to,"--Ex. JOHN I. STORY is making preparations to open the Store opposite the Post office, formerly used as a Furniture Store. The time of opening and What, ho will keep in stock will be ilulr an­ nounced in these columns. HON. F.R. GRANGER was called home 1 from Springfield on Fri day last by the \ sevore Illness of his wife. A change for the ibetter having taken place he : •departed for the State Capitol again 1 on Monday morning. THE time is drawing near when the candidate for the different offices will Have their merits paraded before an unfeeling public, and all their mean act* will come up against them, and be discussed by friend and foe. SUCCESS*GI^WS out of «fcruggles to overcome difficulties. If there wore lie difficulties there would be no suc­ cess. If there were nothing to struggle for there would be nothing aehieved. There is a hill before us, which all ac­ tive spirits endeavor to mounts they run, they toil, they struggle, they rise. WHILE he was sitting on the waod- i)Ox aud chewing the bitter cud of re­ flection, a man with a brass watch chain sand a three-dollar set of glass diamonds •entered the car, and six of the w«me,u lifted their satchels down aud moved close up to the side of the car. Such things are not right, but they .always will be dono. THOSE who fail to witness the ren­ dition of '"Esther. the Beautiful Queen." at Riverside Hall, on Friday and Saturday evenings of this week, will iniss a rare treat. No pains have been spared by Prof. Scott to bring this beautiful Cantata out in Superb style, aud tii^se who have witnessed the rehearsals speak of it in the high­ est (terms. The class numbers over sixty voices, and t!ie chorus is pro­ nounced by Prof, Scott to be equal to the best. Our citizens owe it to them­ selves and to the Band to turn out. and fill the Hall to its utmost capacity both Friday and Saturday evenings. The admission has been reduced to 35 cents, making it within the reach of all. Let <tbem have a full house. Old Settlers' Meeting. A Meetingfof the Executive Com­ mittee of the Old Settlers' Organiza­ tion of Lake and McHenry Counties will be held at the Parker House, in this village, on Thursday, Feb. 22d, inst,, at 12 o'clock M., for the purpose offsetting a time for tlir next Annual Re-Uulon, and to transact such other business «s may come before the meet­ ing.

Scott and Family will render their celebrated Medley both evenings of which the Sandwich Free Press says, "This Medley was alone worth the price of admission." The noted Peak Family of Bell Ringers we loam-are to be present at the first Concert with an entire new set Of Bells. • - - ' .. ' •• ' ; ' Bucklin stevens wish to reduce their stock as much as possible within the next sixty days and will make it for the interest of close Cash Buyers to callon them.

Feb.22d, under the direction oC the McHenry (Cornet Baud Club, Tlie best of music has beeu-engaged, and the Baud will «p*re no patas to make it pleasant for «11 who attend. As will be seen by a notice elsewhere. L. S. Gorton, successor to B. A. Ford, atvthe Fine Art Gallery, has reduced his price for Photographs from $3 to 2,60, and all other work iu proportion, Mr. Gorton is a first class workman, aud those in want of pictures eaunot fall to be suited by calling at his Gallery. Read his notice elsewhere. PREPARATIONS are makiug for the #recjtiou of a number of buildings in this village the coming season, residences, business houses, &c. The prospect now is that the coming Aununer will be a lively <oiie in McHenry The energies which 1WLV« so longiain dormant are aroused aud the business men of McHenry will no longer take a frack seat for any towl* the ^orth- wm, FRANK GOIST, the new Landlord at the Riverside House, has arrived and is putting the House in shape as fast as possible, and will open it early next week, for the accommodation »f the public. He isrefiting and furnish­ ing the House new from top to bottom, and in a manner that will compare favorably wteh> the best Hotels in this part of the State. lie informs us that he-wilt spare no pains or expense to make this House meet the wants of pleasure seekers and the traveling pub­ lic generally. From our short acquain­ tance with Mr. Goist since he arrived here we confidently predict that he will prove the "right man in the right place," aud the popularity of the Riverside House in former years will be biought back in double fold. He is a Hotel keeper of cxperieuce, having been in the business for many years in the central part of this State. Keal'£*tate Transfers.

N U N D A G O S S I P * EDITOR PLAIXDEALER.--Kendrick Paine started for Brainard, Minnsota, to day (Weduesday), to join his broth er, who, for some time past, has beei engaged in a lucrative business at that place, and now offers Jven. a situation. C. H. Paine intends following his cousin Ken. in March. Howard has for along time been employed at the Depot,first switchman, then bagageman. which place he has left after having filled it honorably and efficiently. We defer further remarks on account of that "slip twixt the cup and the lip." "Our Factory" at auction for $600,00, This would look like a very small price for our maiuiuolh Pickling and Pre­ serving Works,if they were not sold subject to mortgage. H. A. Waidner, of Baltimore, was the purchaser. A number of our citizens entertain strong hopes of its beiug brought into a|$ve operatiou this season. Under new and wise management it would pay. The boys worked hard to get to Mc­ Henry. and harder to get back, Friday --hut the Drama was good, "That's the Jdc-ah." Queen Esther fclso may ex­ pect some of us. II. M. Van Auken and family, and F. F. Caiger and wife have recently removed from Waverly N. Y. to this place. The sociability and genialty of each one insures them welcome. We hope they may be pleased to make this their place of residence. Any one who Itas a farm for sale needs an interview with Mr. Van Auken, and any one in uiec.d of any kind of painting should see Mr. Caiger who comes spoken of as a good painter. Mrs. Caiger is also, a good milliner It is hoped that she may be induced to open a store heir, thus obviating sa much travel to neighboring towns to procure this class of goods. Ira Mallory is now selling Kerosene, Blackberries, Prunes, best Yalincia Raisins, Spices, Flour, Boots and Shoes, Ac., cheaper than any -other merchant in town, and Tin-ware below cost* Give bun a call. The infant child of Ira Mallory, of this place broke her arm between the hand and elbow on Mouday evening last. It i? sad to sec druiiicen men in such n umbers as are now on our streets. But it is equally sad to see our City Fathers almost daily looking at men in this condition, and waking not the slighest effort to punish those who are to blame. There is certainly some one blamahle, for we have a law intended to prevent the sale of intoxicating drinks, but this law is sadly in need of enforcers. When adopted it was con­ spicuously posted and being stringent it elicited many scofis from its enetnie3 which seeins to have ^overpowered its friends. The frieuda of '"Saloon Li­ cense" point to this and speak confi­ dently of next election--well they may Apropos of this is the remark which is heard so often of late: That, as for any goo.dWfeing effected, it would have been "as well if saloons had been licensed, Tlrat the roads, sidewalks and the city treasury would have been iu a better condition. This docs not change the principle. Is it not better to have our boots muddied occasionally than to have our boys, ten or twelve years of age, drunk? This has been. . We hope this law may remain in force another year, and it so, we predict its enforce­ ment. MA VOIS. WOODSTOCK. , EDITOR PLAINDEALER--The meat business has proved so unprofitable to Abbott & Bach man. that they closed their shop last week, not because they are bankrupt, but for tho reason that at present prices, there Is no profit in keeping the shop open. As they kept the ueatefet market in town, its closing is to be regretted. Aaron Peterson* who has for so long a time been in the employ of A. Reid, has set up a s|jop of his own in *tl»e room formerly-occupied'by John Short, and says he has all the business that he can attend to. Senator Joslyn is lion^p again, so It appears that his official duties do not worry hi,in very much, David Norton has been bailed out, and immediately returned to his car­ penter work. There is considerable talk now of procuring a town library. Such an in­ stitution is certainly necessary, and let us hope that something more than talk will he tlie^ result. Every town should have a library of standard works including,* Appleton's. Cyclopedia, Lippincott's Gazetteer, Chambers Cyclopedia. Bancrofts United States and other works of a similar nature, not omiting standard fiction. The second Lecture of the Dime- Course is to lie by Mr. Giluiore, on "Peru, and its Ancient Civilization," with a comparison between that coun­ try and this. None who know the loeturer, or has read of Peru at the time of its conquest will miss being: at the Congregational Church next Thurs­ day evening. It is hardly possible for anyone to attend w ithout being bene­ fitted. On Monday night Trof. J. W.Hawkins is to give us a lecture oa Geology and Paleontology, in National Ilall, that promises to furi.isli at least twenty- five cents worth of food for thought. Shall notice the talk next week. Beside the above the Literary' Soci­ ety meets at W. II. Stewart's, and there is to he a surprise at Mark Ilickox's on the same evening. Our bowling alleys have been re­ duced to a unit, the Chollar concern having been closed a short time ago? and its proprietor having departed for Chicago. ; Last Thursday night Miss Isadora Ilanaford, youngest daughter of Aaron Hanaford, of this city, was maH|ed to Fred Kiuiberly, son ofJudd Kimberly The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride's father, by the Rev. T. C. Northeott. Mrs. Todd has resumed her Sunday afternoon Bible Readings in the Pres­ byterian Church, aud a man from Rockford, with an unpronounceable German name, has been lecturing to fair houses for the past three nights upon the old, old story,--temperance Of course he is a reformed reformer, hut it is rather early in the spring to commence the regular campaign of license or no-license. There is no probability that this conflict will be different from the last, iu character, although it maybe in its result, it has usually been all talk and ink on one side and all action on the oilier. If the teniperauco people only had J. M. Wells and his Canvassing Board to manago the matter for them their chance would be number one. Mumps and Scarlatlne ke$p our school rather thin, otherwise there is no very loud complaint; but there will be when the Legislature has passed that com­ pulsory school law, abolish the office of county superintendent, aud make the school month to consist of 26 days, to please the Richmond Gazette.

PETERSON'S MAGAZINE for March opens with an exquisite steel engraving "Coming Home,*' which is alone worth the price of the number. This is followed by a double-sized colored fashion plate, with live figures, a very beautiful1 aftair. Then comes a colored pattern for a tidy on Java canvas: then a charming engraving, "The Fast Express;" and then some forty other illustrations of fashions, work-table patterns, &c., &c. The stories are unusually good this mouth. We notice particularly a powerful one by Mrs. F. Hodgson Burnett, "Mademoiselle Suzette," and also Mrs. Ann S. Stephens" stirring novelet, "The Dependent Cousin," We do not see how any lady can do without this magazine, for It combines more attrac­ tions, and for a less price, than any other of the kind. The price to single subscribers i&orily two dollars a year. To clubs it is cheaperstill. It is not too late to get up clubs for 1877, and perhaps many who thought they could not afford it, earlier in the season, can afford it now, when times are un­ mistakably getting better. Specimens are sent, gratis, to those wishing to get up clubs. Back numbers, to January inclusive, can always be furnished. Address Charles J. Peter­ son, 306 Chestnut Street. Philadelphia, Pa. TAXES!

That is about as far as he got when the train run over him, severing his left leg and arm and crushing his sknll. Death must havo been instantaneous.
