PHLA8KI AtXElf Sec., WHEN the bandstrikes up the "Beau­ tiful Blue Danube*" at the Grove, on these pleasant evenings, there to a general Russian to arms. THOSE who wish a rare musical treat and a good time generally, should bear in mind the Band Anniversary On on Tuesday next. THE game of Ball on Tuesdnv, Ang. 14th, will be between the Richmond Club and the Fox Rivers of this vil­ lage. A good game may be expected. WE learn that the firm of Lansing & Evanson lias been changed, Mr. Lansing telling out his interest to J. Fitzsim- mons, and the firm will hereafter be Evanson & Fitzsimmons. REVI MR. STRICK, of Urbana* 111., will preach in the Universalis! Church, in this village, on Sunday next, morning and evening. Should the paint fail to get sufficiently dry in the church, the service wiJl be held in Kiverside Hall. THE agricultural papers are publish­ ing articles on "How to protect melons." About the best plan is to hire a man with a loaded gun and dog to watch the melons, or else raise each one separately in a burglar proof safe. WE learn of a uiau in this town who bought a sack of first class Flour on Monday last which cost him only 90 cents* By shiminy, is dot so? That's better than eating "codfish" at Geneva Lake, "don't it." ILLINOIS hung a man in 1769 for mur­ der, and now discovers that it was not the criminal at all. No great harm •dene however, as lie owued up to stop­ ping his paper and then spunging the Teading of the same out of his neigh­ bors. THE horse belonging to F. Best, the Baker, ran away one day last week, 'badly demoralizing the wagon and Bameing the driver quite severely. 'The weather being warm lie undoubt­ edly wished to peddle his bread on a .•shorter route. A tourist in search of natural curiosi- tties at the Lakes, coming to a small «tream, looked over his memorandum «nd asked a Dutchman near by if "this -was Alder Creek?" "Yaw,"' was the *epf]y, "dis vas all der creek vat 1 knows ttbout yust round here!" THE repair* ou the Universal'st •church are about completed, and it is «xpected it will be ready to hold ser­ vice in by Sunday next. The Carpen­ ters have finished and the Painters are putting on the finishing touch. It is •new one of the * handsomest Churches it* be found in the county. . I*. STODDARD who removed to Elgin «em« months since, has returned to McHenry and leased the store formerly •occupied by Blake & Beutfield, which Ihe will immediately fill with a first •class stock of Groceries, Crockery, ^Canned Goods. &c., and will be happy !to «ee aill his old customers and as many mew-ones as see fit to call. JOHN-M. SMITH, Hardware dealer, 'Willhave a uew advertisement next -week. In the meantime we would notify our readers that he has a large stock of Stoves, both cook and heating, wood«er coal, SJiulf Hardware and Tin­ ware, to which he itwites the attention of the buying public. Look out for his no^ advertisemjut next week. A«ew book in press i« called "The Devil Puzzlers." It as supposed to treat of those young men who wear better (flothes and spend more money and do nothing, than a man whose in­ come is fifteen dollars a week. It has always puzzled the D--1 to understand how they accomplish .the feat--hence "The Devil Puzzlers.-" ONE of the best improvements made in this village is the new walk running from Bishop's Warehouse past the new store, the Post office,.J. Story's Hard­ ware, <0. W. Owen's to E. M. Owen.s Warehouse. It is twelve foot wide, built in a substantia! manner, a»d is an ornament to that part of town. We begin to think they are trying to put •n city airs in that part of our vitfage, ANOTKEK mystery has been explo­ ded. We thought McHenry had a head­ less man, who promenaded >tbd streets occasionally in the day time, but the other day a courageous individual knocked off the -thing's" liat, and, by weans of a step ladder, discovered a veal flesh and blood head concealed about four inches below one of the •ew-fashioned exagerated shirt-collars. Fact. WE made a visit last week to the farm of W. W. Ellsworth, and were shown his stock of celebrated Poland China Hogs, and had intended to make a note of them this week for the benefit of our readers, but press of other mat­ ters has prevented. We shall dose next week* however, and give them such notice a? they deserve, as we cer­ tainly think they are the finest lot of Hogs to be feiindinthe State. B. GILBERT, at his old stand near the Depot, has now to store the choicest stock of Groceries, Crockery, Canned Goods, Ac., to be fonnd in McHenry, which he is selling way down to bot­ tom figures. In Teas he can't be beat either in quality or price. He has made goods of this kind a specialty for many years, and his reputation for keeping good goods is known far aud wjde. If in want of anything in his Hue do not fail to call at his store. WE wouhf agafu call the attention of our readers to the notice of the Band Anniversary, which is to be held on Tuesday, next, the I4th. The Wood- stoek and Wanconda Bands are expect­ ed to be present to help enliven the day, and with a Picnic dinner, a Game of Base Ball in the afternoon and a Pauce iu the evening, they cannot fail of having an enjoyable time. We hope to see a big turn out on that occasion. The Band are certainly deserving of all the honors they can get for their efiorts to furnish music for our citizens. WM. T. ELSING and Chas. S. Wells are advertised to give a Reading and Recitations at the Methodist Church, in this village on Thursday (to-morrow) evening. These gentlemen come high­ ly recommended, and we have no doubt will give our citizens a rich literary treat. The following will be seme of the selections for. the occasion: The Bond Scene from "Merchant of Ven­ ice," "Handy Andy at the Post Office," "Shamus O'Brien." '"Kentucky Belle," Ac. They will also give an entertain­ ment at Ringwood on Friday evening. We predict for them a good audience oil each occasion. WE learn that one of our ctttcens has a dog that is useful as well as ornamental. No matter iu what part of the village he is, if he espies a duck or chicken he immediately seizes it and starts for home, depositing his burden unharmed at his owners barn. The result is his owner always has a large flock of ducks and chickens. But this is not equal to that individual who every few days buys five cents worth of screenings, which he sows in his garden to entice his neighbors hens across the line, and while he himself is not the bwner of a single chicken dally feasts himself with chicken on toast. Truly "for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain* the heatheu chiuee is peculiar." A party of young men from Lake County came to this village on Sundav last, and behaved themselves in a man­ ner disgraceful in the extreme. They should have beqn put in the "cooler" and kept over night, and made to pay the penalty of their cussedness before a Justice, in the morning. A few of the roughs from neighboring towns have got it into their heads that they can come to McHenry on Sunday and do as they like,running hoi-set and disturbing the peace iu every possible manner and it is about time they were made to nnderstand that our citizens have rights which they must respect. A few nights in the Lockup and heavy fines iu the morning would cure the in of this delusion. WE Inadvertently omitted t© notice last week the accident to the son of Frank Smith, who resides near Ring- wood. it appears the boy, who is about two and.a half years old, was playing with another boy in the meadow where they were drawing hay. and when the load was finished it was not noticed that the boy was under the wagon, atirf when the ream was started the loaded wagou was run over his leg just below the hip joint, crushing it al­ most to a jelly, Dr. Brown was imme- diatelysent for who put the leg In shape and the boy is now doing as well as could be expected, with every pros­ pect that the limb will be saved. It was a close call for the little fellow, and the only wouder is that he got off with his life. WE would call the attention of our readers to the uew advertisement of Bucklin & Stevens,to be found in an­ other column. This firm will sell goods for the next thirty days way down to the bottom, in order to close out to make room for their Fall and Winter stock. Their stock is complete in every particular, and the goods as de­ sirable as any to be found in the county. This firm are live, go-ahead meu. and when they advertise cheap mean just what they say. They buy and sell for cash, or its equivolent, aud consequent­ ly take advantage of any and all changes in the market, the benefit of which they always give to their custo­ mers. Read their advertisement and be sure you will find bargains by ex- a mining their goods. REMOVAL. P. D. Smith would announce to his customers and friends that he has re­ moved to his new Store, near the De- |N»t, where he invites his old customers a»d as many uew ones as see fit, to call and «e hiin. His stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, Clothing, Crockery, &c.. is complete, and he otters bargains second to aette, quality of Goods considered. A. M. WHITE, has leased the rooms in Lansings Block and is at work put­ ting in a Ten Pin Alley and Shooting Gallery, which he proposes to have ready in a short time, for the accom- madation of the pnblic. The finest guns will be procured for the Shooting Gallery, and the Tea Piu Alley will J>e fitted up second to none. A new adver­ tisement will appear next week. MCHENRY is said to be the Dutch­ man's ideal summer resort-- lots of beer and clammy fish. When t'.ieyget on board the cars on leaving the place some have garlands of pond-lillies around their hats and .wreaths of rum blossoms arouud their noses.--Geneva Lake Herald. Being Jealous of the growing popu­ larity of Fox aad Pistaqua Lakes as a Summer resort, the kid glove gentry of the Herald let out the above foul- mouthed slander. It has been well said by one who lifts been to Geneva Lake, that it costs fifty cents to look iuto a Hotel at that aristocratic place and one dollar if you speak to the landlord, while to stop a day or two one needs to be a millionaire. The ideal of the gentlemen of the Herald is to ape codfish aristocracy, wear white kid gloves, part their hair in the middle aad drink champaign (bought by some one else.) while those who visit here come to seek recreation from labor.-find good hunting and fishiug, and are al­ lowed. unquestioned, to spend their time to suit their own tastes and like sensible human beings, H. C. MEAD, whose farm is about one mile West of this village, on the Woodstock read, informs us that he has discovered in his gardeti one of the finest springs to be found in Mchenry county. He has plowed and planted over this spot for years and never dis- cpvered anything different from other parts of the ground. Some weeks since he noticed moisture in the ground covering a space about the size of a barrel, and making a hole with a stick found water. He took his spade and dug a post hole the length of the spade handle, and then taking a well auger started to bore down, but had gone but a few inches when the auger went down a distance of eight or ten feet, and on pulling it out a stream of clear, cold water followed so lapidly as to fill a barrel in five minutes, and hascon- tinued to flow at that rate ever sin«*e. The water is clear and cold and entire- lj' tree from any mineral or other bad taste. Mr.Mead has put iu a curb,and now flatters himself that he has a Spring that cannot be beaten in the West. WE are happy to be able to announce to the citizens of McHenry and sur­ rounding country that the store in Riverside Block, formerly occupied by Smith Bros & Co., has been leased by the firm of Smith, Aldrlch A Haythorn, of Richmond, who will, in about ten days open it with a full stock of Staple and Fancy Dry Goods, Groceries. Crock erv, &c., bought fresh from tne city, and selected with especial reference to the wants of the people of this commu­ nity. The store will be under the per­ sonal supervision of John C. Smith, who is so well and favorble known a? a member of the late firm of Smith Bros. Co., and whose dealings with the people of McHeury county at this place, Al­ gonquin and Richmond, has undoubted­ ly made him as many warm personal friends as any man in or out of trade in the county. This firm are all expe­ rienced business men, and while they will continue their store at Richmond will put in a stock of Goods here second to none to be found in the county. This splendid store will bo newly repainted and fitted up, the worlc on which has already been commenced, aud when opened will be an honor to our village, aud the new firm a valuable acquisition to the business of McHenrv. We heartily welcome the new firm to our village. QUITE an excitement has been crea­ ted in this village the past few days on account of the repeal of the Ordinance allowing cattle to run at large in our streets, and the consequent order to the Pound Master to take up all cattle found running at large. It culminated on Saturday night by some person or persons tearing down the Pound, and also the fence adjacent, letting the cattle from Owen's pasture into the Cauliflower field of Alderman Curtis, destroying between thirty and forty dollars worth. Now at this time we are not going to discuss the right or wrong of the order prohibiting cattle from running at large, but this we do say, the persons who will wantonly de­ stroy property as on Saturday night, deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. It was just this spirit that caused the late strike, which ended in bloodshed and great destruction of property, and to uphold such lawlessness by word or act is to invite the iucendiary to apply the torch at every fancied wrong. We think it the duty of our authorities to ferret out the perpetrators of Saturday nights act if possible, and give them to understand by a practical illustration that "the way of the transgressor is hard." CLOVER THRESHER. F. WIEDRICK would inform the farmers throughout the County that he is prepared to thresh Clover or Shell Corn, having one of the best machines in the market.

Some of our boj's went up to Twin Lakes to rusticate a day or so aud to break the monotony of life, it was rather late Iu the evening when they arrived at tlieir camp and took posses­ sion of Foster's tent and everything passed oft pleasant and all right. The}' spread their bed, but boys will be boys and are bound to have a good time, but they were wot aware that they were trodding on forbidden ground. Be­ fore retiring for the night they con­ cluded to slug a song. They had suug one verse of the song entitled "The Old Home'Aint What it Use to Be," when they were surprised by Hamlet or his father's ghost, who appeared to the boys with revolver in haiid (Dame Rumor says it was a corn cob, but the boys know,) and ordered them to vamoose the ranch, which they did in a hurry. They did not wait to hear tale unfold" from a father's ghost^ but their hair did stand on end and their blood run cold as they skedadled for the hazel bushes and some of them did not stop till they reached the Richmond House and awoke Foster from his slumbers and took him back to camp as a peace-maker. When he arrived at the camping grounds he found a lonely .sentinel keeping guard over the camp, and as he was in speak­ ing distance the order came from the sentinel "who comes there ?" The an­ swer from Foster was "a friend with the countersign." "Advance and give it," and things were all made right.-- But where were the boys? Strict search and they could not be found. But Foster gave one of his whoops and they came in from every direction, and they pulled the stakes, broke camp, moved farther up the Lake and weutinte camp agaiu, and Fostercame back home. But the boys say when they go up to the Lakes again they' will send out advance guards t'o re con- noiter to prevent the enemy from am­ bushing them and to prevent their supplies from being cut off.

At the Special Election on Saturday August 4th, the following tickets were in the field: Labor Ticket--I. Miller. C. Henry, A. Finch and Jo. Washburn. Temperance Ticket--C. H. Stone, N. B^ardsley. W. Ilartman and J. Darby. The election was called for the purpose of electing Trustees (four in number) to All the places of those who had re­ signed and those who had refused to qualify at the beginning of the year.-- Now that the saloon is licensed and a permanent fixture, that question did not appear in this election, thus leav­ ing it only a question of choice in the candidates without regard to that great bone of contention. The tem­ perance ticket was elect*... by a small majority aud the newly elected mem­ bers are expected to qualify to-night (Monday.) The polls were closed at the time set, but ou the arrival of another voter they were re-opened and his vote taken. This was done on the authority of the Law, as quoted by Si. F. Ellsworth and Esquire Jackson.-- To-day the polls are open for the elec- tiou of a Judge for the 12th Circuit. Votes are coming; in fast aud the pros­ pect is that there will be enough to prove conclusively that the establish­ ment of a voting precinct here was a necessity. It was established at a meeting of the Board of Supervisors, at Woodstock ou July 12th, aiid this is the first election succeeding. Our school term closed on Friday of last week. For a lew weeks immedia- diately preceding the close ot the term the attendance was deplorably and un­ necessarily small. As correspondent it i4 in my province tospcak of this great fault in the rearing of children which permits their absence from school for any cause whateverr«xcepting illness. As an adinonisher I know that I cannot speak adequately, but it is evideut to the least experienced person that noth­ ing but irrepairable loss can result from tardiness and absences when anything like frequent. Great injustice is done the teacher. /His reputation, whieh for many reasons is dear to him, is in­ jured, and oftentimes causelessly. He must take this lack of interest as an indication that he is not liked, and his work thereafter must be devoid of all encouragement and pleasure. Beyond a doubt a childs education is almost illlmitably injured when his system of study hours is ̂ broken. There are con­ ditions attending the life of the child which renders learning easy and when these opportunities are passed they are lorevergoue. The fact is undenia­ ble, that what is learned when the miud is young is always recollected with very much greater facility then what is learned in later years. Still the young minds of some of our boys are allowed to rest and run to weeds while the muscles earns a few cents--he will curse those cents some day. It must be extremely mortifying to the child who is always standing at the foot of the class. Who wonders that he soon gets discouraged and occupies .the dunce block and serres as the b.utt of ridicule witii as good grace as possible. If to make such a youth is the desire of the parent he can take no surer method than that of irregular attend­ ance. Not the least of all objections is that of having the child look back to his parents with severe censure when, in after years, he is placed in hnmilat- iug positions on account of a neglected education. A great deal depends ou his attendance at school, whether he enjoys life. I am sure auy one cau per- cieve that, aud if it is so why have the harm doue ? 21A * OIS. , ^ .Business 2ijptices« 7 Carpets, Carpet*. Carpets. 35 differ­ ent styles at P. U. Smith's.
