Jtt^Twentj-flrst day of J tin# wit) be ;f« memorable day in the criminaldtnals of Pennsylvania, for no less tbail ten mnrderers are to pay the death penalty .ulue of whom are "Mollie Magnires." 7The number of death warrants issusd , by the »v#tMiri ve of that State, to be executed between now and the 9th of August is sixteen. The governor ap­ pears to have a wholesome belief in the ." execution of the laws, and the season , ^II that state might properly be desig- t^fpiated as the hanging summery it is un- fjderstood to be his wish to afrtnge the '^rj^execut-lons as to make the rfiost deci- •/ . s«eu impression upon the popular miud. M^Flttcher Harper. the sole sunrlr- *ing member of the famous New York 4, -^publishing house' ef-Harper & Brothers l; ? |ii*d Tuesday mocning, aged 72 years. % ^ The history of thli flrm, which is now ; elextinct. so far as the original and re­ cent members art concerned, fills a large place in the annals ot American literature. As dissemiuators of pop­ ular and useful Information, their house £2 years old. 'has had no superior, al­ though many rivals in business. It is said, however, that younger members of the firm are competent to maintain the enterprise and stability of the cou- • corn. ' ' ' Kate Claxton, the actress* ^|^has found it necessary to remonstrate ^against the newspaper jokes which at­ tribute to her the power of causing conflagrations wherever she goes. Having been on the stage of the Brook- . lyn Theatre when that establishment '/ caught fire, and again, an inmate of the Southern Hotel at St. Louis the night its destruction by the flames, it was "W*Man obvious jrieasantry to remark npin Iter til luck, and to prophesy future ca­ lamities from her presence. But the sport, she avers, is anything but sport to her. She finds that people really be­ lieve her to be fated, and the precau­ tions she is subjected to are becoming serious. We do not hear that she has MA teen excluded from any theatre or ho- < tel as an incendiary, but her coming, . ,s|8he says, is a signal for general alarm, jand a busy preparation of rope ladders and fire escapes. CRCBNWOOO EDrrOtt rLAixmcALKii:--->fho fine showers of the pdst few days hitv« had a wonderful reviving nnd refreshing influence upon the vegetable world, giving a more cheering aspect to the weary, half-dlseoursged tiller of soil, who, from the thousand and draw bracks which are constantly pearing to impede in vaiious ways success. Not alone from cold the one ap­ his and MTAa Instance of apparent success " in the treatment of three children bit­ ten by a rabid do£ is reported from Marietta, Penn. The dog also bit a heifer, a cow, and two dogs. These i||| four animals all died of hydrophobia. • y. The physician hi attendance upon the children, Dr. John Cameron of Wil­ mington, Del.,had been impressed by the success of Dr. Buisson's method, as described in the Abeille Medicate, of treating hydrophobia by means of va- ^ jp«r iMths. As t|ie nearest practiable ^ , approach to such treatment, Dr. Cam- ® ^eron took the children to Philadelphia and there subjected them to Turkish tiaths daily for two weeks. Although the wounds were very severe, -they healed without difficulty, and no symp­ toms of the dreaded malady have been . manifested. Hydrophobia, it is said, does not break out before the seventh day, from the bite. The interval is . quite sufficient to give the chance in «jostJn.?ta*ces for the jMitimt.to be t*~ ken to some Turkish bath establishment'! and hence,If that method of treatment is effectual. hydrophobia may be class- preventable diseases. , IMH PROTECTION BILL The Illinois legislature passed a bill .for the protection offish at Its late ' session, which will be found to be quite useful. The bill was prepared at the Instance of DK W. A. Pratt, of Elgin, State fish commissioner, who labored earnestly to secure its adoption, and he deserves much credit for securing its passage. We give below a few of the more important sections: 7 : SECTION 1. 5« ILCIMCTID bythepeo- ple of tne state of Illinois represented in the general assembly, that it will be unlawful for any person or persous to oatch or kill any fish except minnows, in or upon any of the rivers, creeks, streams, ponds, lakes, sloughs, bayou**, •r other water courses, running through •r wholly within the state of Illinois, with any seiue, net, wire, or other de­ vice, other than with hook and line,* froin the 15th day of Feburary to the 12th day of May in each aud every year SKC.2. That it shall be unlawful for •ny person or persons at any time, to cate!^*y kill any fish in or upon any'of fhe^ks,streaH6, ponds,lakes,sloughs baf'*: fe»r other water courses, within M3un'fcidictUn of the state ot Illinois, • 'J**5 l'in<S aci<l or any medio J or chemical compound or explosive. J. ft. Any person or persons found 4' -Mj «f violating any of the preced- ag sections ot this act shall each be find . by the Justice before whom such •flense sua A be tried, iu a sum notless than ton nor more than fifty dollars and costs of such proceeding, for the first offenjg, and for a second or subsequent offeiW; snch fine may be increased to *n amount exceeding one hundred dol­ lars and costs. SEC. 6. _Vny person or persons tres­ passing upon the enclosed lands of an­ other. without the consent of the owner for the fittrpone of fishing, shall be deemed guiUy of a misdemeanor, and flood in a smut not more than ten dollars and costs j»f #nch proceeding, such fine aud costs to be enforced in the same manner as iu the preceding sections I •f thisjact.

Eternal vigilance is seemingly the price of everything he attempts to produce from the soil. Each and every ai'ticlc of vegetation at the present day has its insect enemy. Coming led with all of these, at least three-fourths of our far­ mers through this Northern portion of the State have hnd the additional annoyance of having to replant their corn, while in the Central and Southern portion of the State, or through what is known as the "'Corn Belt," (we are informed by Mr. C. II. Tryon, who is well and favorably known throughout the county,) who has recently been traveling through different portions of the State, that up to the 20th of May, at least one hall of this belt Jre^ re­ mained uutottched by the plotr on ac­ count 01 the overabundance of rain.-- This together with the uot very flatter­ ing prospect through other parts of the State will very materially lessen the crop of the present season. On Sunday evening last Prof. Boganau.fnom Burmah,gave a very in­ teresting lecture at the Baptist Church upon the manners and enstoms of his country, their religion, &c. The house was well filled with an attentive audi­ ence. He is a young man and has been spending the past ten years in this country educating himself, intending to return to his native land in auother year as a teacher and preacher among his own people. Dr. A. E. Baldwin, of Chicago, has been out spending the Sabbath with his parents. His connection with the meuical science is of the Invest having attained a position which wy many might envy. We also notice the pleasant and fa­ miliar countenance of our friend C. A. Stone, of Hebron. Glad to see you "Chet.w Come often, there are plenty of tat cattle in this section. Mr. Compton, of Volo, Lake Co., lias been spending the last few days though this section steaming up all the old feather beds in town. It is a good thing as it livens up the feathers as good as new. Give the moths fits, and takes out any unpleasant odor. Our mill which has stood still for some time past is again in running or­ der. The tramit nuisance is again reviving with the warm weather. Is there no remedy or cure for this intolerable curse to the country. Were our laws as stringent in this direction as some of the foreign. countries we should have less trouble from this source. J5VEN. f^^Charles O'Conor, whom many think a native of Ireland, is a born New Yorker, and began life as a newsboy in this city. His father having taken part in the Irish rebellion ot "98. was imprisoned for some time, and finally released on condition that he would quit his native land, coming to Ameri­ ca, in the early part of the century, with a fierce hatred of England and the English. At the outbreak of the war of 1?I2 OTCon^r, in ord»r to; have the luxury of dentmns?ng the otf ton* British in print as well as speech es­ tablished a weekly which he called The War afterward changing the name to the Military Monitor. The eminent barrister, then only 8 years old, was In his father's office, and among his other duties distributed the paper to sub­ scribers in this and adjoining cities.-- New York then had about 90,000, Brooklyn some 2,000, and Jersey City but a few hundred, and the sole means of communication between those towns and the metropolis was by means of row boats. Although the circulation of the Monitor was not large, it em­ ployed the boy the whole of Saturday, and when the publication was delayed as often happeued. he used to be all night delivering his papers. lie dis­ played at ;liat tender age all the ener­ gy, determination, intelligence and fearlessness which have since placed him at the head of the American bar. He was a very different newsboy from many of the present day, and has just­ ly spoken of himself as a newsboy of the old school.--N. Y. Tribune. V H' -r ' UMiil WOODSTOCK. EDITCH PLAIXDEALKU :**-This has bC'fcn a week of accidents In \vhich John Shet-man's tramps have had the worst of it. One, named Phineas Andrews, aged 16, having boen cut in two anil killed at this place last Thursday night. He ahd his brother* aged twen* iy, Were from Pennsylvania, irsvslftig northward, and that night attempted to steal a ride on the freight. Tho older ono was badly hurt at the same time but is about now. Saturday morning at Bidgefleld another poor devil met his fate while traveling southward, having ridden front Har­ vard. These two cases should be suffi­ cient warning to all who are inclined to steal from R. B. companies. There seems to be a Providence in it. Stedraan's boarding house is mtv* popular than the Hotel Do Keifle, the former having taken in threa boarders last week on the charge of boarding some other man's boat on the Fox River, bnt the latter has nevara board' er up to date. "s*"i An eleven year old son of Patrick Judge, a farmer living near the Catho­ lic Church, in the southeast corner of this township, was thrown from a horse last Tuesday evening, dragged some distance by a part of the harness and killed. Mrs. Mills, living on the Hewry Crawford farm, near Union, died very suddenly last Monday. Can't hear par­ ticulars definitely, and Friday last Mrs. W111, Salisbury, daughter 0/ Samuel Terwilliger, died at the residence of her husband in Nunda township, She was buried Sunday. Last Friday t'be Clippers played their second game, this time with the Bluff City's, of Elgin, and as the for­ mer club made three while the latter was making six it must have cdliie out ahead. However that depends on how youreckou it. Up to the last inning the home club was one ahead, but it was distanced in the home stretch.-- The Executive Committee having re­ solved that ball playing shall not be permitted on the ground and the Super- intendaut refusing the key the boys got another one and took possession viet club*. It won't do to make a practice of that though unless vou are intending to move to Harvard, so boys "you better looks out a leetle." Mr. Straub, Uuiversalist of Chicago, preached in the Universalist Church of this city Sunday afternoon and eve­ ning to rather 6inall audiences, al­ though his themes and modes of hand­ ling them should haye filled the house. Woodstock beer has a bad effect on certain officers of neighboring corpor­ ations. Probably there was something in it. i Mr. Frank Pratt, formerly of 4he Sentinel office, has turned granger, and behold the effect,--an eight pound girl. The father is as well as need be ex­ pected and the mother as proud as mothers usually are of their first born. Jake Eckert is building a large addi­ tion to his house, a sigu of prospertv; and screen door* follow close 011 the heels of the potatoe bug. Perhaps that should be tails--am not sure that the vermin have heels, upon third thought, neither have they tails. Well, let it go anyway, perhaps the Inde­ pendent will set me right. A judgment and execution for the sum of 9600 was rendered against the Pickle Factory by the court at Rock- ford last week. It is in favor of one Darby. SQCEERS.

JANESViLLt How T<f STOP A PAPER.--DO not take your paplr to the postmaster and tell him to seud it back; in nine cases out of ten you will fail to stop It in this way. Do not attempt to return it yourself, and write on the wrapper to discontinue; this is against the law, and lays you open to a fine. Before your subscription expire) send to the editor a postal card, saying your subscription expires on such a date; please discon­ tinue at that time. Sign your name,, also the town and State where your pa­ per is sent, in full. If the paper is sent wo weeks or more over the time for which itwas paid, don't send a postal card;it will do no good; rather write a letter and enclose what is due for ar­ rearages, always allowing that ono number will be sent before the letter reaches the publisher and his list is cor­ rected. By observing these simple rules, your requests will always be promptly attended to. All the leading Mowers iu tho mark­ et can be fouft& at I?. - Son's MeHenry. The Illinois legislature has passed an act declaring that inmates, of poor houses, insane hospitals, or other institutions supported by the' public, shall not be entitled to vote and we are surprised to see some pa­ pers of standing in the State say the act is very proper. To thinking minds it is very improper, so far as it relates to inmates of poor houses. There are a thousand ways in which the best and most intelligent citizens may ba reduced to poverty, and become a pub­ lic charge, and i t is monstrous to say that he shall be deprived of his vote because of his misfortunes. The prin­ cipal that would deprive the poorest man of his vote if carried out to its logical conclusions, would soon cut off the man witli ctoly a hundred dollars, and then the man worth only five hun­ dred dollars, and so on until only the very richest man would be left to do the voting, hold the offices and ruu the government. The idea of depriving the poor man of his vote must not be allowed to gain # foot-hold in this Re­ public, if the people would preserve their liberties. The act of the legisla­ ture, so far as it relates to the' Inmates , of the poor house, is undoubtedly un­ constitutional, and will not stand the test of the courts.-- Waukegan Patriot North Main Street.
