WE would call the attention of our readers to the card of the Riverside House, of this village. Goist & McCreery Proprietors. Thi.* House is newly re­ fitted aud furnished, and opened ior the accommodation of regular Board­ ers or trauscient customers. % Two Caucuses were held in tills vil­ lage ou Saturday last, one called a ••Peoples' Caucus'" and the other a reg­ ular Democratic Caucus, the former «, nominating J.

Be will please accept our thanks for a half dozen very fine ones left at our Sanetium. He leaves to-morrow, for a weeks bunting oneomeof the Northern Lakes. FARMERS, give this matter <ef cheap help a little thought; do tiol hire poor help, because it is cheap; if you do, you will jbue the loser in the -end. Better pay a good man, that you know to be good, twenty dollars per month, than a poor one ten; and save the thousand %tnd one pe-tty vexations and trials in­ cident to every .farmer, with lazy, in- •etfitieDt help. A SON of J. B. Perry. Esq.. acclden,tly fell into the Mill Raee, back of Bishop's Mill, on Sunday morning last, and had -aid not been close at hand would cer­ tainly have drowned. He was rescued by O. N. Owen, and no doubt concluded that it was early in the season for a hath in the Mill race, and if he could have his way, wait for the weather to fyarm before trying it again. Dcck hunting commenced in earnest |aet week, and on Friday and Saturday the "roar of musketry" could be heard *>all along the line." The bridge and the bauks of the river, as far as the eye .could reach, were lined with pickets, and the slaughter of the web-footed birds was terrible, that is if one were .to judge from the*taumbe r of shots fired, ' The prospect# are that it will be lively times for sportsme# tlfe next two weeks, this vicinity. TOWN XSEXIMa Annlial Town Meeting oh Tues­ day p&ssfeti off in the mdst qiUfet manner. There were quite a number of earnest workers at the polls, hut the best of feeling prevailed throughout. Four hundred and one votes were polled, the contest being almost entirely on Supervisor and Collector, and resulted in the Election of the following named persons. For Supervisor--J. W. Cristy. , 48 majority. Fof Town Clerk--M. Kelter, 16 majority. For Assessor--John Hueman. 390 majority. No opposition. For Collector--Frank Smith, tfc majority. For Road Commissioner--r S* H. Walker. 48 majority. For Justices of the Peace--James B. Perry, 192 majority. H. Wattles. 382 majority. No opposition. For Constables--H. E. Wightman. 390 majority. No opposition. Thos. Knox. 14 majority. All of the above were candidates on the Peoples Ticket with the exception of three, viz: Town Clerk, Collector, and one Constable, these three being elected from the Democratic ticket. WE Would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement on the first page of Scott & Co.. Fashionable Hatters, 192 and 194 Madison St., Chicago. They sell one Hat just a& cheap in proportion as a full case, and any of our readers who want a fashion- ble Hat will find this a square dealing firm, and their prices as low as any in the city. See advertisement. The "big egg" business has opened •up, and we were shown one on Saturday that measured 7|x6 inches. Now that Easter lias passed enterprising Biddies can turn their attention, to size instead of quanity. Next. And here we have it. Since writing the above D. S. Smith has handed us a specimen that measures 8Jx6£ and weighs four ounces. He says if any one beats this he wants notice of the tact and his family hen shall try again. " The Steamboat " R.*Einerson," which has Changed hands since last season, is to be immediately Overhauled and put in running order for the Summer. The owner informs us that he expects to put her in condition to run to Fox Lake in less than an hour, which will be just what persons visiting those, pleasant hunting and fishing grounds want: Capt. E. Griswold is to have charge of the Boat, which is a sure gurantee that passengers will be well taken care of. 'As soon as she is ready to run we will publish a Time Table in full. The following base libel, was hand­ ed us a few days since by a friend, and we cannot resist the temptation to publish ft: A young man from Wood­ stock was in a saloon when he observed the barkeeper mixing an egg-nog.-- "What is that anyhow?" he asked "an omelet, or an aquarium, or what?" the artist in alcohol explained, and the young man from Woodstock said he would be bulldozed if he wouldn't try one of rhein himself. His opinion of the beverage would appear to have been a favorable one, for he drew a long breath and set down the glass, and murinered, as he passed his tongue round his ears, "How wonderful are the works of Nature!" * I THE rain of Saturday and Saturday night brought the water up at a rapid rate, and early in the evening on Sat­ urday, it became apparent that- Bishop's Mill Dam was in danger. A large force of inert were put to work, ami by almost superhuman-efforts - suc­ ceeded iu saving it. lla$l> the pond been free from ice the damage would have been immense. The foot bridge just below the dam was completely wrecked, and as this is the second or third time that this structure has been detnolishe^^Us to be hoped that soipe plan will o^levised to make it per nent. It is a somewhat expensive stitution as it is. The water in tge River is unusually high, but no further damage to bridges is anticipated. T|e Race at Hanley's Mill washed out a small place, but no damage was done to their dam. We have not heard of any great kmount of damage in other par&fiiof the county. DKNTIKTKY. Dr„ A. N. Stone will be at the River­ side House, McHenry, on Monday, Ajaril ath, where he will be happy to wait ou tliose who may wish his ser­ vices. R I NG WOOD EWTOB PLUNDBALER:-- Tuesday, •evening, March 27th, about forty per­ sons entered the parsonage and seemed to make themselves very sociable for .the space of two hours, when Mr. S. Walker very politely informed the Parson that the friends present desired to leave a token of their respect, then in the most appropriate manner pre­ sented the preacher with a roll of greenbacks, which with other very necessary articles amounted to fifty dollars. It was most emphatically a pleasant surprise. Much as we prize the legal-tender, we <k> regard the man­ ifestation^ of respect and kintfne&s much more, and now in this public way permit me to extend to all those .christian ladies and gentlemen our heartfelt gratitude, hoping that this esrly friendship may ripen into a re* . spect pro and con, worthy the truest pos^dence. J», GORTON. -&£:> WOODSTOCK. 1 , EDITOR PLAINDEALKU:--That cos­ tume Sociable was successful to the amount of forty dollars, net, Soon after the time for the rise of the curtain the door leading to the stage opened, and the pocession marched by twos into the hall, headed by a modoc with, blankets, tomahawk, and scalping knife, night and morning two editions of Luna, one in gold and one I in silver. Mrs. Newspaper, a quaker, a tinker a dandy, two squaws, a gipsey and many other personations appeared in a procession reaching around the hall, After countermarching, the maskers broke up and mingled with the audi­ ence, when the fun waxed '"fast; and furious" till after supper, at which time a"Pat"cirae in with a negress; this turned the laught into a roar. A dutch- man in clogs, and the dandy with his eyeglass and cane, drew more attention than the others. We have heard no one complain of not having a good square laugh that evening. Some reading, ppeaking, and siligitig were attempted but that audience was in no humor for anythiug but fun, so paid but little at­ tention to what was not ludicrous. The sociable broke up about midnight, Monday Steadman and Van Curen together cleaned out the store of C. H. Dickinson, finding not much more than one thousand dollars worth of goods. Of course some blame Charley, and others say his failure could not have been prevented, but the sympa­ thy of the commuuity is freely ex­ pressed for "Lou" Dickinson, who is the heaviest loser. W. A. Skinner, after vacillating between iron aud sugar, finally deter­ mined to try the latter, and bought out G. Blakeslee, the uew firm being Buuket & Skinner. The inventory was commenced Monday" and possession given Wednesday. We congratulate "Al" ou his escape from a business iu which proficiency is rewarded by re­ duction of wages and remind him that his present customers will ask of him nothing more unreasonable than, the best quality at the lowest price,sixteen ounces to the pound and unlimited credit. These conditions being easy of course Bunker & Skinner will keep their old friends, make many uew, live long and prosper The mischief committee of the East End Surprises laid a plan to capture Nelson Blakelee's family last Wednes­ day evening, and met with the most gratifying success, if a cordial welcome and a dainty supper may be so consti­ tuted. About three, dozen altogether was present including the "Gay Galona Man" and any number of ridiculous sells such as old folk? only can contrive when they get out for a nooning. Of course the "uov" was there, and when the PLAIXDEALER came next day, he spent an hour iu looking through its columns for a report of his perfor­ mance. Determined to find it lie turned the paper upside down, inside out, aud commenced to read it back­ wards, when it was suggested that he would save time by waiting a week. M Ilickox has been iu the cow busi­ ness this spring, going West aud buy­ ing milch eows wnicii he hits brought to this county and sold, except his hundred dollar one. Altogether him­ self and O. Brass of Seneca have sold 140 head this spring and still the cry is "more," Mark starts another lot this week, making his third trip. W. il. Heath has opened a dry goods and Yankee Notion store iu John Donnelly's building, and would like to have us Believe that he can undersell the men who made the goods. The caucus last Saturday was called to order-by G, Southworth; Judge Smith had the honor to preside, and M. D. Hoy to record the doings. "Gard" average but there were some faults Of pronunciation of the common words dog, gone, long, along, that should be corrected as there can be no excuse for such blunders. ^Correct pronunciation cannot be called pedantic, and will not be except by those who glory in their ignorance. Want of space forblis en­ tering into details at this time. The teachers can rest for one week. The Democrat failed to connect last week; indeed there are those who maintain that liquids and solids nevei form * very firm connection The Crafty Ceurage organ came near selling outlast week, so near at least that the price (180D dollars) was named but the thing porteok too much of the crawfish variety to please the weald be purchaser, who retired in disgust. The Pellett still continue his efforts at the M. E. Chutch, "Dan" Weaver has been captured, and as a Free Meth­ odist is an undoubted success. He can "out-Herod Herod" in noise,compell­ ing the master of ceremonies to ad* journ one evening sooner than usual, and all on "Dans" account. To capture Dan, improve Eckler, and make Uncle Sam richer by aai X, is tflory enough for one campaign. Mr. Hutchins one. of the oldest set- tiers of <this town died last Thursday. George Hey and Miss Kitty, are to be made one at the residence of the bride's father next Wednesday after­ noon at 2 P.M. SQCEERS. A VOICE FLTOM SOLON. EDITOR PLAIXDEALER:--It Is not the wish of the writer of the following lines to become famous, or notorious by penning a few lines, for the perusal of the patrons of your paper: fer I wonld rather remain in silence and peruse the lines of other writers, than to try and interest them with my unefilcieut pen; but the remarks made through the col­ umns of the New Era, by the Rich­ mond correspondent, invite me to re spond. He finds a great deal of fault about the mauner the caucuses iu this town have been run of late, (all one sided,) and says the majority of citi­ zens cry "reform," but in spite of all their efforts for reform, expects James Overton to continue iu the old rut; trying to make It appear he is the cause of the nnfair management of the caucuses. New I wish to ccrrect this statement, for I know "Jim" tu be in favor of fair play, on all occasions. The reason for the little eur balking at "Jim" is, he was coming up for office and knew "Jim" would not support him, but the history of "barking dogs" is too well knowu iu this enlightened age for their noise to have much,if any eflect upon political combatants, as was shown by the result of our caucus Saturday last. There was no bulldoz­ ing. no unfair management, and no show for the cobbler. His goose was well picked and dressed and when the fire is started Tuesday A. M., there will be no quenching until the goose is so well cooked it will be unpalatable. In addition to the advice given him through the PLAIXDEALER, two weeks ago, I will suggest that he keeps bis nose out of other peoples business, and not form such unwise conclusions, for the purpose of gratifying his own boy­ ish whims, aud he will the sooner be numbered on the list of men, aud re-i spected citizens. FAIR PLAY. SCHOOL REPORT. In the written examinations of the pupils in the higher department of the McHenry Public School, held during the week ending March 30,1877, the pa­ pers were marked as follows: Ada Granger Emma <»rc'(fory,... Addie McOmher,.. Millie Mi'O'inber,. Ifel'lu "Stoddard , . Jennie Beers,, moved that the voting be uuni voce I(I'~CUMMI,". case but one man be nominated. Upon this the "elder" mounted a «seat, said "Mr. Chairman" and then called upon the name of the "Lord" (the ene of convention fame) whereupon the mover vyiltcd aud withdrew his motion. M. L. Joslyn was then nominated for Supervisor, W. B. Austin and S. Brink being tellers, the "Union caucus" had one Democrat out of the four officers. The caucus then recinded its vote on the ballott business, and nominated Esq. Baldwin for clerk by acclamation, E. C. Jewett, Nixon, and W. II. Cowlin were then named for Collector. After Short's nomination for Assessor (viva voce) Jewett received the nomination. Will Dwight said that Cowliu intended to run anyway whether he were nomi­ nate if by the caucus or «not. For Justices of the Peace Furney and Bald- wiu were theu put upon the ticket, and as constables Van Curen, Pease, and A.J. Murphy. Warren Watermann was nominated for Highway Commis­ sioner. The contest then come 011 school trustees when it become appar- rent that the fight was between Bunker and Dacy with the^town treasurership as the prize to be kept or surrendered as the election might gov Tim won in the caucus--F. Renich and Ezra Smith being nominated and the machine run down. The closing exercises of our public school passed off the best, gave the largest measure of s^Usf^eUou, wwL occupied the least time in preparation of any previous one. The hall was packed to its utmost capacity. The declamations were distinguished by being loud enough to be heard with perhaps one exception, and the articu­ lations was much tyetter th^q the Addie Ai»aaa4er,., Nora Morrison.
