THE Algonquin Steamer, with a party of six hunters, mad* our village ^Qnll on Monday. The party were out •u a Duck Hunting expedition. WE learn that our Richmond neigh­ bors are soon to have another Lecture, this time by Eli Perkins, one of the Ityest humorous and interesting Lec- ttorers now on the rostrum. He cannot fail to draw a big house. The time will be duly announced. CECIL Cox, Dentist, at |tUe .Parker Rouse, has recently enlarged his Rooms, and uow has as neat and tasty an office as can be found in this section Persons wishing anything done in his linn will always find him at his rooms prepared to do anything in the Dentist- try line in a workmanlike manner and at reasonable rates. THE Census is still gradually increas­ ing in this village. We have this week to report a fine eight pound hoy at the M. E. Parsonage, a ten pound girl at tlie residence of C. Stegeman and a nine pound boy at J. F. Harvey's. That these new boarders design to be immanent residents, we believe is un­ disputed, and we presume no challeng­ ing will be dope when the male portion •f them presume to attend a Bridge Caucus. WHILE at Richmond last week we stopped with the new landlord at the .Bichmond House, Mr. John Billett, .and we must say that this popular Hotel will lose none of its former pop­ ularity under his charge. He has new* Ijr painted and renovated it through­ out, aud spares no pains to make it pleasant for his guests. The Richmond House, under his,charge, promises to be •ne of the most popular Hotels in the county. "ROLL" WAITE has opened a new Meat Market, in Curtis' old Shop, Wnere he will hereafter be found at all times ready to supply those who may five him a call with the choicest meats of all kinds, both fresh and salt, and also all kinds of Vegetables in their Mason. He has fitted his market up in flrst-clas6 shape, and all who know him know that he will keep it so. He has: secured the services of a first class Butcher, and will spare no pains to please all who may favor- him with their patronage, SMiTif, ALDRICH & HAYTHOUN, in Riverside Block, have just received, a new invoice of Ready Made Clothing, Overcoats, &c., which the buying pub­ lic will do well to make a note of and call and examine before purchasing. These goods are made especially for this firm and are of the best material and as well made and finished as custom made goods. Their stock of overcoats islarge and varied, and their prices so low that those wishing to purchase a good arti­ cle connot fail to be pleased. Call and examine their 6tock before purchasing. William Dickerson, of Richmond is a regular subscriber for five copies of the Gazette, which are sent to his friends Such thiikg as this are a cheering e vi­ de nee that our eflorts to make the Gazette a live and reliable paper are appreciated.--Richmond Gazette. Why Mr. Gazette, we can see you and go you several better. We have four men in our town who are regular sub­ scribers for twenty-one copies of* the PLAINDEALEU, viz: F. A. He bard 7, Jf. Colby 5, D. S. Smith 5 aud H. C. Smith 4, besides quite a number of others who take two and three each, sending them to friends in other sec­ tions. THE Fourth Annual Sunday School Conventibn, of the First District, Illi­ nois, will hold a Convention in the Presbyterian Church, at Rochelle. Ogle County, Illinois, November 6th, <7th and 8th, 1877.

Any ac­ credited Sunday School worker may be considered a delegate. Please attend the opening exercises. Bring your Bibles, pencils and note books, Gospel Hymns, and Jasper and Gold. Rail­ roads centering there will give reduced rates. WHILE at N. S. Colby's a few days since we picked up two ears of corn from his corn crib which we think it would be hard to beat. It is of the White Dent variety, and was raised from seed whichbe brought from Iowa last year The ears are 10} inches iu leugtb, measure around the largest place 7J inches and one ear has 988 kernels and the other 896. They are filled out completely, and is certainly very handsome corn. The ears men­ tioned can be seen at this office, and they are but little more, than the average of all we saw. P.

The late rain made our streets very muddy, but nevertheless business is livelj' as usual. The farmers arc bus}- husking their corn in this section, which is an unusual crop this year. L. D. Kelley.who has been running a Wagon Shop here, has closed up and is intending to move to Woodstock, which was his former residence. May success attend you '•Cap.* Our Public School is progressing fine­ ly under the supervision of E. Wheeler assisted by Mrs. Chamberlain. There are 6ixt^-^ye scholars iu attendance. Wheaton & Son are bricking up the outside of Clayson's new house, which makes it very much nicer. It bids fair to be one of the handsomest places in Nuu da. The Parsonage is nearly completed.-- All it needs to finish up is the stucco on the insiae ' and two coats of paint on the outside. The Sorghum Mill, run by Beardsley Bros., has made over 2.000 gallons of Sorghum. Their run this year is larger than before in five years. Some of the ypurg sportsmen of our place are out trying their hand at shooting Rabbits, and as it is getting pretty cool they are in fair demand. I KNOW. S. a COLBY'S BLOODED STOCK. Having a few hours leisure one day last week and local items being scarce, we took a ride to the stock farm of N. S. Colby, one half mile west of this vil­ lage, and although wo had been there onoe or twice before, we can always find something worth seeing and tell­ ing of among his varied stock of Horses, Sheep. Swine, &c. The most particu- lar thing that called us out this time was to see his celebrated Spanish Merino Buck, which he purchased at the late County Fair, paying for him the handsome sum of 975. This Buck is one year old, very large of his age, and willweigh full 130 pounds. Judg­ ing from his appearance we should say that he would shear 25 pounds oft wool, as we never saw a sheep so completely covered in all parts of his body, , the wool growing down to the very edges of the hoofs. We do not pretend to be an extra judge of this klud of sheep but good judges who have seen him pronounce him the fl/iest Buck iu every particular they ever saw. No stock raiser should fail to see him. Mr. Colby also has In the same pen a two year old Buck of his own raising that it would be hard to beat. His flock of Spanish Merinos now number fifty Bucks and one hundred Ewes, and are as fine a flock as <*an be found in the Northwest. He is receiving orders and shipping to all parts of the couu- try almost every day. To show the superiority of his stock we would mention the fact that last year he sold four Ewes and one Buck, lamb after his flock had been culled out, and the same Buck was taken to the State Fair this year artd received the 1st Premium over nine competitors. He also gave two pet lambs to Isaac Harsh, of this town last Fall and this year they sheared one 21 pounds and the other 20$ pounds of wool.^ Has any fanner got a scrub that will do that ? Mr. Colby also has-a fine lot of Poland China Pigs, from three to seven months old which he is also receiving orders for aud shipping to different parts of the county. This breed is so well known that they need no'recommenda- tion from us, but. we w6uld say that persons wishing pigs should call and see Mr Colby's, as they are A No 1 in every particular. 1 He also keeps in stock the Berkshires, and he has, some Pigs that are perfect beauties. In this connection we wish to say that ptrsons wixhiug to buy blooded stock should not wait until the best are culled out, as they are then obliged to take up with an inferior animal, when if they had been around on time they might have secured one much more de­ sirable. Breeders who make this a business are apt to sell their best animals to those who come first. There is nothing to be gained by delay, and everything to be lost. Select your stock early. Mr. Colby is a eareful breeder, and all stock which he.offers for sal* is guaran­ teed to be pure br';ed. We could not come away without seeing that handsome Young Morgan horse, "Billy." and while the first time we saw him wo thought he was per­ fection itself, he seems to be improving every year, both iu beauty and intelli gence. For road and all general pur­ poses we think the Morgan horses beat the world. No lover of a fine horse should fail to see this splendid young horse.

THE TOURNAMENT AT RICHMONDl The Tournament at Richmond on Saturday last wa«a success in every particular, it being well attended by the Shootists from different parts of the county and also those who love to see the sport, among the tatter being a good representation of the ladies. The day was all that could have been wished for such a gathering, being warm, bnt a-littlc cloudy, aud the Shooting was as fine as any we ever witnessed. The Glass Ball shooting was something new for most of those who participated as well as the spectators, aud proved that practice, is necessary, and that those who are considered good shots at game on the wing,, cannot burst a Glass Ball as easy. But nevertheless some very fine shooting was done, and the interest maintained by those who par­ ticipated portends that should another 1'onrnament take place even a larger number of sportsmen would ,W pres­ ent than at this one. The Rifle Shooting, the score will show, will compare with the best, the score standing, at 100 and 200 yards, 28 and.29 out of a possible 35. The rnern- bersof the Richmond Rifle Club partic­ ularly distinguished themselves by their splendid markmanship. The Creedmore Guns used by them are sim­ ple perfection itself. We learn that their practice at 500 and 900 yards is equally as accurate. ; r 1 Match No 1, was Glass Balls, 18 yards, ten shots each. 1st Prtee, a Silver Goblet, valued at $5,00, was won by Robt. E. Stanley, of Fox Lake. Second Prize, a Silver Tobaco Box, valued at 3*50, by Edwin" Kimball, of Blivins Mills. Third Prize, a Stiver Napkin Ring, valued at 75cts, by Geo, W. Eldredge, of Richmond. It will be seen by the score that the second and third Prize were a tie, and were closely contested. Below is the score. \Y H Cooley J O N a son A K Alexander II Hustings Ed -Dennett J II Osmond G W KMwvlge K A Kimlktll G If * to wart Geo Vinton Hobt Stanley Harry Ditnnell 1 .ong J ark Ed Kimball SECOND RU IZK, II Hastings 1 0#l Geo Vinton 0 0 0 Harrv Dunifell 0 10 Ed Kimball 0 11 0-1 0-1 1-1 1-5 1-3 0-1 1--3 0-8 0-3 1-5 l-« 0--5 ,0--0 0»--6 TilllM) PRIZE, & BALLS.

The horse and wagon, while it may not clo for all pur­ poses, will certainly be a "handy thing to have in the house," more especially for the baby to play with. There was one more match adver­ tised, but as it was now 4ai;k they were obliged to omit it. \ Thus ended one of the finest days sport we have witnessed for many a day, and the Rifle Club and the citizens of Richmond, who aided in its manage­ ment, are entitled to great praise for the fair and impartial manner in which the programme was carried out from beginning1^ end.

Some of those fellows that have un­ necessary shooting to do ii.sido the corporation "better look a little out" or there will bo some money in tho vil­ lage treasury. J.

Another loss for West. If his feet is as large as his fathers it will take a whole skin. Mrs. L. P, Wodell has her fall stock and lias her show windows arranged very nice. We think she misses "Murtie's" help, as she has not yet re­ turned from her visit In Iowa, Where she went to visit her U^icle, ^ohu Wodell. We heat that Wm. 3mattes is dom­ ing back to Richmond to open] a Gehts Furnishing Store and Tailor Shop, in the building formerly occu­ pied by him, William is a good Tailor, and if he cornea bade we hope lie will do well. Those in want of Ready Made Cloth­ ing call on Smith, Aldrich & Hay thorn and you can be suited both in quality and price as they have the largest stock that ever came in this market at one time and will not be undersold.-- Call aud see them and you will be sure to buy arid got What you pay for. We see that Mrs. G. B. Carpenter has returned from Chicago with her Milli­ nery Goods, and we should judge from the number of ladies that go and come with packages that she was doing her share of business. She has lots of nice things that will suit all classes of her customers, as she has good taste and knows what the ladies want. We notteed that Gorton, of your place, advertised for an apprentice to learn photographing. We think it a little too thin when he only would have to go to Ringwood to find one that would stay with him for lifet provid­ ing be would keep his nose clean and furnish plenty to eat. Gorton, that is the way to take pictures, life size.-- Costs only five dollars, besides license. The Select School opened on Monday in the basement of the M. £. Church. Mr. Stanley, Teacher. The reason for starting this school Is to teach higher grades than is taught in our District School, and those that want to attend this school should apply at once as your schooling will not cost you as much at home, or near home, as if you were to go to some distant school. It may not be generally known, but nevertheless is a fact, that John West has one of the largest stocks of Boots and Shoes, Harnesses, Buffalo Robes, Blankets, &c., to be found in this sec­ tion, which be is offering to the buying public at prices way down to "bed rock." And then another advantage of buying of West is that you can always make up your mind that everything will be just as represented as he sells none but the best of goods and charges only living rates. When in want of anything in Ids line do not fall to givo bim a call. The Hardware Store of I. X. Meade looks as though he meant business, be­ ing full of goods in his line from a Cook Stove to a Shingle nail. In the Stove line he has an immense stock. In Coal Stoves he has the "Crown Jewel,*' '•Garland" and ' Shining Light," three of the best Stoves now in the market, while in Cooking and Heating,.

We are surprised to see so many still suffering with neuralgia and rheuma­ tism, when they can be cured. Wo know the feeling which exists among very many--"that any medicine which is advertised must be a humbug." This may he true in some cases, but when we know of a remedy which has be­ come so popular as Lawson's Curative, and we have such conclusive evidence of the good it has accoraplished.it is more than folly not to make a trial of it, and satisfy yourselves that all tho proprietors claim for it is true. In such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, headache, sore throat, lame back, and toothache, we can safely say that no remedy either In physicians* prescription, or in proprietary form, lias effected more cures than Lawson'a Curative.
