QUITE a number of Woodstockites visited McHenry last week. Fishing seemed to be their purpose, and that they went home satisfied was evident 1*3' the large strings of the finny tribe that we saw them carrying away.

The Steamer is HOW making daily trips, and will con­ tinue to do so during the season, JOSEPH BUCK had a fine twe year old colt badly cut up by a Barb Wire Fence last week. The breast was al­ most torn out, while'the sides and legs were torn and lacerated in a fearful manner. These are undoubtedly a good and cheap fence, but a man who will use one around a field where young horses are kept should be prosecuted for crueltv to animals. THE PLAINDEALEK News Room will be open and7 ready for business the flrst of hext week, where you can find all the Daily and Weekly Papers, Mag­ azines, and the leading Periodicals of the day.

If this does not destroy thsir relish for strawberries in May, they can move' tip closer to the pole. * V WE would feel obliged to our sub­ scribers in the several districts com­ prised in our circulation--town and county--for information in regard to the prospects of the crops--hay, wheat, oats, corn, etc. etc. Also in regard to the effects of the recent frosts, as well as of potato bugs, etc. The informa­ tion obtained wouid be welcomed by readers. A few sentences on a postal card would be sufficient, and would cost but little time a*d expense to the writers. PETER SCHEIDE has built a new Shop on the west side of the Railroad, near Hanley's Mill, and is now ready to do filacksmithing of all kinds on short notice and in the best of manner. Those who are well acquainted with him say that as a Horse-Shoer he has no superior in the Northwest, while other lines of work are done in a work- maullke manner aud at reasonable prices. He is now prepared to do yonr work promptly and well, and hopes his old friends and as many new ones as may see fit, will give him a call in his new quarters.

The rain came down in tor­ rents, and the flashes of lightuing were simply terrific. The vtaodshed at the Public School was struck, the corner torn oft the splinters flying in every direction. It was certainly fer- tuuate that the School building escap­ ed. "We also hear of several other places where the electric fluid struck, one being a »large oak tree east, of town, the bark being completely strip­ ped oft and the leaves scorched as if by fire. THE enterprising Agricultural Im­ plement dealer, O. Bishop, has taken a new departure. Finding that ©lie story was not enough to accommodate his large stock of fanning tools, he lias taken possession of the second story ef the wart-house, (which was formerly occupied by the Good Templars) am4| has filled It with tools of all kinds; among which is the finest Stock of rumps to be found in the West.

Last Friday evening we noticed a large gathering of men in front of the Post Office and bteing olf an inquiring turn of mind we walked over. It ap­ peared C. Henry had been trylug to sell some farmers a seeder. J.

' " KMTOR PJLAINDEALEU ;--WE here­ with submit .to you a few facts con­ cerning this village, which though they do not relat'e to dog fights, horse trades, etc.. may be of full as much interest and perhaps lend as high a tone to tho columns of your paper as the Democrat is favored with from this place. Notwithstanding the ungfentlemanly, untcholarly, and libelous attack upon it by " Bird," correspondent of the Dem­ ocrat from this place, we must say that our Literary Society is in a flourish- in®: condition, the meeting held by it Friday, May 31st, being a grand suc­ cess. The house was filled to overflow­ ing, many being obliged to remain standing during the entire evening. The programme consisted of Musi«| Select Reading. Essays, Declamations, a Query Box and the djscussion of the following question: Resolved, "That it Is the duty of Congress to pnss a bill prohibiting Chinese imigration." Decided in favor 6f the affirmative. Roll call wa# answered by facts con­ cerning the early history of Crystal Lake. Next meeting Friday evening, June 14th. While we consider the un­ truthful, scandalous and blackmailing articles, eminuting from the pen of " Bird " in regard to the Literary So­ ciety, beneath our notice, we must say th«£ a " pollution" with but one 1 in it would not contaminate a very large society, while a "descent" made with­ out ac would be almost an up hiU affair, yet this spelling is done by a man who boasts of his educational attainments and his ability to impart instruction unto others. The F.M. Church held their Quarterly Meeting last Saturday and Suiday which, considering the condition of the roads and state of the weather, was well attended, several being pres­ ent from different parts of the country.

Mr. Stanley Grimes has been lectur­ ing upon the cause of Temperance in Richmond. He's a good speaker and makes lots of fun--fully worth the ten cents admission fee to gentlemen aud five cents to ladies. I don't see what he lets women in at half price for, un­ less he tiiinks a woman's soul is worth only half as much as a man's or else that a wornaii needs only half the per­ suasion to become temperate that a man does.

I did think I'd never say anything about it, and I wouldn't now. hadn't two parties interested been lately chuckling over It. and congratulating themselves that there was one thing that "PLAINDEALER fellow hadn't got hold of." We'll see how good a hold he has got! Before the report of the Debate in the Red Ribbon Club was published in the PLAINDEALER, (the time that Srire was voted diminuendo and Stanley crescendo,) Ess Arr UU went up and had a talk with Pee Cee Ess as to the difficulty between the latter aud Bee Eff Ess. When Ess Arr UU got home he threw his hat on the floor and said that he had at last heard the Pee Cee Ess side of the story and of all the ****** taik_ ing men he evei heard, let alone one of the "cloth," Pee Cee Ess was the worst 1 So it was evident that there was not the most "meek and lowly" feeling between the two wtien they parted. Sotutyih lor that. Now, when the report of the Debate came out Pee Cee Ess was so hurt in that part of his spiritual man, which may be called self esteem, that he didn't propose to have anything more to do with the R. R. C.. unless the PLAINDEALER'S re­ port, (which was in "meek and lowly" spirit, denominated "a lie") was con­ tradicted through the columns of the Gazette. So Jay Ell Dee, anxious to fugle for his spiritual head, (I don't know whether said spiritual head hired him or not.) went to Ess Arr UU to write a crusher, lie being the only man in the crowd with brains of sufficient elephantine proportions to prepare said "crusher." Feeling as he did, it was so big a mouthful that he at first rebelled, but others of the faithful were counseled, and at last he consented.-- Imagine him writing that article! It was like eating red hot chestnuts, or sitting on the business eud of a whole paper of tacks! And when he got It done, his very sensible wife thought, that he had only spilt the fnt into the fire, and had better said just what he did when he threw his hat on the floor. How your correspondent got hold of this will inix'em up some, but she did, aud concluded that a double header in the PLAINDEALER, provided the PLAIN- DEALER got up here on Tuesday night, wojild kind of bust them up a little.-- The PLAINDEALER camt-- a solemn communi­ cation never saw the light. So poor Pec Cee Ess re in !»i us to this day un- vimlicated. and he hasn't been arouud the R. R.
