A man drove up with a load milk and liftd a loaded gun laying across the front of his wagon, when a young man employed around the. Factory took hold of the tnuzsle and drew it towards him, the hammer catching on the box and the* gun Was discharged, the entire load penetrating his side.-- Dr. Beers of this village was called but there was no help for hiiu, and. he died on Monday night.

Stuart gained many warm friends on his former visit here, who will be glad to learn that he Intends tc return. Our citizens can look out for a rich treat. On Friday night last seems to have, been a good one for Burglars , as they ntade big hauls both in Richmond and Nunda, accounts of which can be found in our regular correspondence from those places. McHenry has been for­ tunate in this line, having had but one visitation, but our merchants will do well to be on their guard and give these night prowlers a warm reception should they happen arouud again. We would direct the attention of our readers to the new advertisement of Scott, & Co., Hatters, to be found on the first page ot this paper. This firm now occupy three Stores, and do a large wholesale and retail business.-- They are a square dealing .firm, and if you want a single Hat or Cap, or a large bill yon will get a good article and equally as low. Read their Adver­ tisement. about three utiles West Clay County, which is said to be as line ^a country as lays out doors. Quite a nliurtfer from this immediate vicinity have moved to Nebraska, imd we hear o f o t h e r s w h o c o n t e m p l a t e g o i n g i n the Spring, among which is Joseph Freund , who infor .ns us that it is his intention t<>r buy and. settle upon a facm near the - two gentlemen above named. Th is does the tide of emi­ gration continue towards the setting sun, and one after the other does the young, middle-aged and even old make for themselves and their children homes in the Far West, whoso broad priiiries are amgDe for all who come. We clip the following from the Spec tator of September: "We published last month a cr i t i c i sm of Some of the announcement*' Circulated bv the Rockford Insurance Compnuy "of Rock- ford, 111., taking exception to the prac­ tice pursued by that concern, of exten­ sively advertising a statement where., In no allowance is made for re-insur­ ance liabilities. A statement tiled by the company with the Missouri insur­ ance Department, exhibiting its attains oil Jane 30th, 1878 gives* the com" pany credit for $200,000 less assets than It claims for itself in its pupli«h- ed advertisements and the total liabil­ ities of . the concern as made up by the company, amount to ubout $300,000.-- The assets do not include .a dollar of Government or State bond4; in fact just as we said last mouth, only a very small part of the funds which the com-., pany claim to be possessed of appear to be convertible into cash, so that in the event of any large conflagarat ion invol­ ving a number of its risks, it is not un­ likely the company would experience considerable difficulty ill meeting the claims of losses. We are informed that an examiner from the Missouri State Insurance Department, has been at work iu au examination of the com­ pany tor several weeks past. He made almost at the outset the interesting discovery that books of the company are not kept iu such a way as to show the company's obligations for re-insur­ ance, so that the work of calculating the ^tueartMd premiums , liability could ^nly be performed at the ex­ pense of much labor and tiiue. The amount hitherto reported for this lia­ bility by the company appears to have been made up at random, and we can safely say that the obligation will verv muea excuse i fny estimate which the company has ever made.-- We would uot be surprised if the Mis­ s o u r i S u p v i n t c u d e i i t w o u l d d e e m i t uecessary to exclude the company f rom doing business in that State, although it is quite likely that it inay continue there until the expiration of the pres- year. Iu view of these facts we repeat what we have said before: "Itiain- conceivable what excuse a prudent farmer or home owner can make to himself for taking a policy from the Rockford Insurance Company, when there are so many Companies of unim­ peachable. stiinding which will afford jundoubted indemnity at reasouablc raie*. On opening the Council Room on Tuesday morning it was found that our village had narrowly escaped a terrible conflagration. The room had uot been used since the last meeting of the Board of Registry, and it is sup­ posed that a lighted cigar had been dropoed into a Ujx filled with saw dust used as a spittoon, which had burned entirely up and burned a hole through the floor nearly a foot square, and then went out. Had this fire got under full headway tha- entire part , of town w o u l d probably now have been in ruins. It probably went out for want of draft. NOTICE. There will be au Oyster supper and Bazaar at the new M. E Parsonage, Wednesday eve Nov. 13th. The pro­ ceeds are to help defray the expenses of the Pareoiiage.

TOE KLKCXION IN McHKNHX The election in this village on Tues­ day passed ofl in the most quiet manner, although a good deal of hard and earnest work was done. Split tickers and trading of all kinds was the order of the day wUhi the opposition, and the result wis that the Democratic party was entirely swallowed up by the Greenbackers, there being but one solitary straight Democratic Vote polled .

Ward has withdrawn from the editorship of, the Richmond Depart­ ment of the Sentinel, and-a callow youngster has taken his place, or is trying to.

Here are his comments of the ^usieal Soiree of the High fScbuftl^tn vyUiuh-lM; JumA dead-head tieket and took a lady in 011 it without paying for her: The objects 'of the entertnlnment . Mr. Stanley said, were to get money, and to accustom" the scholars of the music class to appear before the pub lie. With regard to the first of these o b j e c t * w e h a v e n o t h i n g t > : » * a y . I n the imerest of the scholars we enter our protest against the latter. Ac­ c u s t o m i n g t h e s t u d e n t s t o a p p e a r i u public before they have that to pres­ ent which is worthy of the public at­ tent ion , l ead ? to superf ic ia l i ty , a th ing very much to be r eg re t t ed , The t i m e required for preparing entertainments would be fur more wisely and bene­ ficially spent in mastering the rudi­ ment-.. The best Seacliers of music do not allow their pupils to piny at pieces until they have thorough]}' gone through with the preliminary steps.-- And tor a pupil who has had but a few lessons, to attempt pieces for the pub­ l i c , w o u l d b e r e c e i v e d b y t h e m w i t h very ill favor. Protest, indeed! It is well known that Mr. Stanley thoroughly grounds his pupils in the elementary principles of music, and uot one of them has ever appeared in public without doing hon­ or to himself aud hU instructor . And t o b r i n g p u p i l s b e f o r e t h e p u b l i c i n the manner it is being done in these soirees is eminently proper. It is giv^ ing them just the drill they need to advance them in their musical studies. Mr. Stanley is right and the callow ed­ i tor of the Richmond Department of t h e Sen t ine l shows h i s ^ i gnorance . I f "he" is a •"school ma'am" will he ri^e mid explain how, iu his last sentence above, he makes "them" agree In num­ ber jvith "publie.^ Hear him again. The exeivises at the Bapt i s t church Sunday evening, phssed off pleasantly. Tne principal thing, principal at least in length , was an address to the bib le class by Mr . Stanley . This address t o o k t h e f o r m o f a p o e m , g i v i n g i n rhyme the history contained in the' book of Esther . We once perpetrated a rhyme i n the introduct ion of which was the following. , • •'What the thought would lack ITsingle. .W j'11 try to make up in jingle," This verse kept recuringto us all the time Mr. S. was saying his production. I presume the opening lines quoted were an appropriate introduction to the poem they belonged to, but not *p Mr. Stanley^. Mr. Stanley's poem was simply a paraphrase of the Book of Esther, and if there was any lack of "thought" p i it . the fault must be laid to the Sacred Word and not'Mr. Stan­ ley . Put that goose quil l Rack in your wing, bub, aud let it stay there, The last week has been prolific of entertainments of one kind aud auoth er, so that our people have had no rea­ son to complain of want of amuse­ ment . On Monday evening Billy Mayo gave au . entertainment^at the Richmond House Hall, and the same night Mr. White, of Harvard, gave a very instructive lecture before the High School . Mr . White's audience was not large, but intelligent and ap­ preciative. I hear that Billy Mayo had the largest crowd, which shows tjiat tli/e average Richmond mind appre­ ciate a nigger show more than a scien­ tific lecture. On Wednesday night, the Seott family gave a concert at the High School mtisic rooms , and Mifcs Ethel Lynn give a dramatic entertain­ ment at the M, E. Church. Both were thinly attended. On Tuesday uight the animal meeting of tho Richmond Lecture Association was held nnd re- stilted in the election of the following officers: President, John W. Hay thorn; Vice President, John Vosburgh: Sec­ retary. J. R. Hvde ; "Treasurer, A- R. Alexander. On account of the hard times, it seems probable that t.be As­ sociation will not ,at,tempt to secure a course of Lectures this winter. On Friday night the regular weekly aolree of the High School was given. The soiree , as usual, drew a crowded house, mid, like all the rest, wns a very enjoyable afiair. Besides the eutertaiu- ineiits mentioned there were several religious meetings where those pious­ ly inclined might find food for Ihfrlr spiritual stomachs. But the most excitement was caused by the bold aud adroit robbery-of the store of Alexander & llyde , on Friday night. The burglars affected an en­ trance by boring oft the fastenings of two doors. They made a clean sweep of all the valuables in the store--the best cigars , jewelry silver and plated goods,cutlery, two valuable* rifles, i&c. To carry oft their plunder, they then •stole two horses, and harness' and a platform wagon of Mrs. Gibbs. Pur­ suit was made early in the morning and one hoiw and the wagon were fonnd In Woodstock, where the thieves?liad left them, but the burglars and their plunder were safely Shipped to Chicago . After we have had a few more burglaries , our village Board will probably hire a night watch.- Business Notices, v , For -ft ndhby suit. f BeekCTS, near the Depot: : """ ^^xSklO phromos, for NUNDA .
