WEDNESDAY,NOV. 27tU. 1873* J. VAN 8LYKE, BdUor. 'The Geneva Lake Herald says: Hon. F. K. Granger, of Mcllenry, will probably be the uext Speaker of the Illinois Assembly. He is a very suita- able man for the plaoe ani} as he isoor- respondiugly popular, will without doubt be elected. t * V . tut a little while ago and A«$\ 3tewart towered among his fellow men, and was honored as one of the money kings of the earth. Now his bones are Jostled about In a bag rudely tossed by profane hands, aud hidden away in the dartt dens of thieves. It Is a repulsive reflection, indeed, but at the same time it is a stern comrtwnt upon the vanity of wealth and earthly honors. ^' 18r£ Welsh engineer has tainted an engine of warfare which consists of a cannon so arranged as to discharge a sharp sword blade crosswise in the direction of the enemy, the knife be­ ing so poised in its course through the air as to cover the whole space in a longitudinal direction described by the blade Itself. An 8-inch ball would carry a sword 14 feet in length 600 yards, mowing down every obstacle life path. * x Robert Banner has purchased fbr 816,000 the trotter Is&win Forest, of C. B. Green. At Hartford last sum­ mer he trotted A half mile in 1:03 and a quarter mile Ha 30 seconds. Edw in Forest is a bay, sixteeit hMds high- grand in action, with hwpfwell up-- and a square trot. He 18 now seven years old. Up to four years old he had never trotted, being a natural racker.-4> He waa converted into a trotter shoeing with one pound shoes in fleet and twelve ounce toe weights. fSSTHop. P. T.^ iBdrnum, of Bridge­ port, Conn., has again beeu called to .take a seat in the Connecticut House of Representatives. In many minds lir. Barnum's name is associated only with the show business and trickery In general, but by those of his own State, who know him as he is, he is univer­ sally icOugiiiiOu ao a Sinn O* liiiuieiil« ished character, great public spirit, an incorruptable legislator, wfio has been always found the unflinching advocate of loyalty, temperance and good gov- •ftimept. * %arGrave robbing Is getting-t» be strangely prevalent of late, aczordinfe to newspaper reports. The Burlington Hawkeye suggests as a remedy that •^ery grave robbed of a corpse, be filled with a medical student, which wonld Unquestionably be effectual. Our neighboring city of Elgin had a sensa­ tion last week, caused by the robbing of the grave of Mrs. Schroeder. The ghouls were tracked to Chicago, arrest­ ed and brought back to Elgin and held in bonds for trial. The body was also returned tof El^in and re-interred. The ghouls prove to be Frank Brown son of Dr. S. P. Brown, of Elgin, and a colored man by the name of Frank Johnson. It seems that they were after the body of a yonng man who had committed suicide, but made a mistake •ltd got the remains of a wonaan,4bat had been dead somo time. It is hbped that the grave robbers will get their ftili legal deserts. Fna tlM New York Tribune, TBS ISPtlftUCAHS IK lSSOk There are certain Democrats'and as- Blatant Democrats who insist that the prospect for Democratic victory In 188Q Is excellent, because the Democratic and Greenback vote combined exceeds the Republican vote in New York, Ohio. Michigan, Illinois and Pennsyl­ vania. On the other hand, there are certain Republicans who profess to be­ lieve that the party cau uow elect any­ body with ease, and need not take any further trouble to educate public opin­ ion on the qnestfons of currency and public faith. Both are palpably in the wrong. The Republican party has not won the battle of 1880, but it has dis­ covered how to win it. It has the van- tage-ground of aclear and houest pur­ pose, In which It Is sustained not only by impregnable reasoning, but by the conscience, the common sense and all the material interests of the country. It can be assailed with success only by a hearty and determined co-operation of three distinct elements--sincere hard-money Democrats like Bayard4 Democratic repudiators like Voorhees, and Republican Greenbackers like Butler. By what process can thege three elements be fused into one eff< tive party, if the Republicans do their duty? It is commonly said that the most serious difficulty will be with the hard- mqney Democrats. We have not yet so^mean an opinion of men of this n ^lasa as to suppose that they can be swallowed by any party which will satisfy the demands of the Greenback fanatics or the Voorhees-Pendleton Democrats. But there is one other difficulty. The Greenback then want a new party, in which they ean take front seats. The Voorhees Democrats Want an old party, In which they al­ ready have front seats. The Green- back^-ftation wants to swallow the mocrptic party, as Butler tried to swallow: Massachusetts Democracy.-- But the Demoeratic repudiators want to swMlow the Greenback party, as they iraarly did in Pennsylvania and Ohio. It Is not at all clear whlcli will succeed, but it is very certain that there are a great many men of Repub­ lican antecedents, who voted the Greenback ticket this year, but can never be dragged into any party lied and controlled bv the repudiating and rebel Democrats. . # It. fa olAflf Annucrh t.tiA RunnKIt x can party cannot afford to shirk Its dutyf^ff it palters with financial here­ sies or heretics, or merely fails to ex­ ert itself to arouse and Inform public opinion, it will have no easy task, and will deserve defeat, whether it escapes or not. AN UNDENIABLE TRUTH. You deserve to suffer, and if you lead a miserable, unsatisfactory life in this beautiful world, it is entirely your own fault, and there is only one excuse for you.--your unreasonable prejudice and skepticism, which has killed thous­ ands. Personal knowledge and com­ mon sense reasoning will soon show you that Green's August Flower will cure you of Liver Complaint, or Dys­ pepsia, with all its miserable effects, such as sick headache, palpitation of the heart, sour stomache, habitual cos- tiveness, dizziness of the head; nerv­ ous prostration, low spirits, etc. Its sales now reach every town on the Western Continent and not a Druggist but will tell you of its wonderful cures. You can buy a Sample Bottle for 10 cents. Three doses will relieve you.

McHenry, H>y. 27th, 1878. I ' V i , *h THANKSGIVING PBOCLAXATIOX of XUinoi*--Executive Depart­ ment. I, SHELBY M. CULLOM, Governor f tho State of Illinois, do hereby ap int Thursday, the 28th day of No­ vember, a day of public Thanksgiving to Almighty God, when the people Way oease, as far as possible, from la­ bor and from business, and in a sulta Me jjffd becoming manner, give expres­ sion to their grateful sense of the Di­ ll ne favor; for. during the pa^t year; K Our lives have been spared; Our borders have been free from the ravages of the pestilence which has •o afflicted some portions of the land We have gathered bountiful crops iu and quiet; The trade and industry of the States which are, under Providence, the only fources of prosperity, have been utk* interrupted, and We continue to hold and ei\Joy a ' jfiree government founded on the school > <§!he church, and the family, to whose ' ffenign agency we owe so large a share $€our civilization. While we give thanks, we should not X , Ibrget to ask of God such guidance in ihe future as will enable us to transmit fo our posterity, unimpaired, the bles­ sings which we enjoy. • In witness whereof, I have hereunto fet my hand and caused the Great : ||eal of the State to be affixed. % Done at the City of Springfield, this . f th day of November, A. D. 1878. f t - . . 8. M. CULLOM. P By{ the Gov Him secretary of Stace, NUNDA. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--Nunda has now a night watch that tliew thieves will dread, In the person o^ van. Mc- Cluie. We expect to hear of no more burglaries. G. H.Clayson has returned from his Texas trip satisfied to remain at home and attend to his business. Eb. McMillln who accompanied ClaysonjSonth, Is stck with the fever in Texas. ' * Nunda Is a Temperance totrn. We would like to have the people under-, stsnd that and then judge from the performances we have almost daily how well the "City Dads" perform their duty. Not only one day but almost any day yon can see drunken men on our streets, and last Thursday night the thing came to a heati, or at least we hope it will go no farther. The facts as we learn them are these. M. F. Ellsworth and Bill. Stohd got into .difficulty which culminated in Stone hitting Ellsworth In the face. Ells­ worth retaliated by drawing a re vol ver and firing at Stone, the ball passing through the clothes and breaking the skin upon the abdomen of said Stone.-- Such drunken rows as end in an at­ tempt to t|jte life demand the atte tion of the peoples, for we knt?W'"f>ur Trustees will pay no attention. The fact is Nunda has never had a man serve as Trustee^ that had spunk enough to commence action against anv^a^tha4kepj^i saloon. They did once brace up and fine an old, inoflen slve man 75 dollars for selling whisky without a prescription, igphile there never has been a M'me when whisky could not be bought at other places, but they pitched upon him thinking £e would do them lio harm. While Miss Nellie Mallory was walk­ ing up to her Uncle's one night last week, a certain man, of our town, (or thing In shape of a man.) insulted her openly. We are sorry the old whip­ ping post law Is repealed, for we do think a good raw-hiding would do such fellows good. We learn that Homer Sheldon will play the violin for Gillett, the dancing Master, who has organized classes at McHeury, Richmond, Hebron and Wll- raof. We can^bespeak for the dancers good music.
