Ilanly, on Satur­ day evening next, July 3d. for the ben­ efit of the Sabbath School. Refresh­ ments will be served. All are cordially invited. WB had intended publishing an Obituary notice this week on the late S. H. Walker, but as we have been un­ able to obtain dates, and other particu­ lars necessary, will be obliged to post­ pone it until next week. DR. CROSS, our Dentist, needs no Laughing Gas now, as there is con­ stantly a smile all over his face. It is a boy, and weighed nine pounds strong^ The Doctor is as well as could be ex­ pected, under the circumstances. THE Dam at Bishop's Mill Pond sprung a leak one day last week, (which necessitated the drawing down of the water for repairs. This was done and the dam repaired in a most substantial manner, and it is now miiCh better than for years before. FARMERS will be gratified to learn that a piratical potatoe bug killer in the form of a voracious parasite is preying upon the pest in some locali­ ties. It is certainly to be hoped there may be enough of the "new remedy" for geteral application. AT Hainesville they are making preparations for a grand time at their celebration on Saturday next. Good speakers will be present, and a regular old fashioned time may be expected. We hear of quite a number of our cit­ izens who contemplate going over. JOHN BERTHA, of Chicago, has rent­ ed the store of J. Wiedemann, former­ ly occupied by Lauer A Becker, near the Depot, where he will open a Har­ ness Shop in a few days. He is said to be a first-class workman, and we have no doubt will receive his share ot the patronage. J. J. GILLES has one ef the hand­ somest Flower Gardens in the village, in the center of which is a large Plan t, covered with the mosx beautiful flow­ ers we ever saw. What the name of this plant is, no one has, as yet, been able to tell u3. It will pay any lover of flowers to call and see this plant. THE rascals are ever trying to get the best of the farmers. The latest dodge Is that rascals are traveling the country as temperance missionaries. They get their unsuspecting victims to sign a pledge of total abstinence* and then the pledge turns out to be a note. THE Chicago and North-Western Railway will sell round trip tiek% from all of its stations, for the fourth of July celebrations, at largely reduced rates. Tickets will be sold at all stations on July 3d,4th and 5th,and good to return td including July 6th.-- Do not forget tjiat this is via the Chicago and N ortli-Wcstern Railway THE daticiug public should not for­ get that the 4th of July Parties will be held on Friday eveniug of this week, the 3d, on account of that "Hur­ rah day" coming on Sunday this year, and that Wightmau, at the' Riverside House, has made ample preparations to accommodate the usual crowd that attend at that popular House. There­ fore we say do not forget the date. THE Woodstock papers are making great lamentations because the Census enumerator did not add in the towns of Chemung, Hartlaml and Greenwood, so as to swell their population to the figures they had been telling outsiders they had. Only 1466! Too bad, boys, too'bad.. You will have to play second to Chicago for a few days yet, unless you get J. M. S. out to do some count­ ings for you.

It is finished and furnished in elegant style, and visitors to the Lakes can hereafter rest assured ef a good place to stop^ and be well taken care of when visit, ing this popular resort. We shall speak nfore in relation to this House at an early day. "THE circus is coming," remarked Mrs. Goodington, laying down her pa­ per, "with no end to the trained horses and caramels, hypothenuses and other bedizens of the forest and jingle. How well I remember the first time Daniel took me to the circus! As we entered the tainted enclosure, I said to.him.'How terribly the wild auim- alsules growl, don't they? i was eenamost frightened te death till Daniel told me it was only the ven- doos of peanuts and tprize packages plaj'ing their rogation." A SHREWD young man is going through the country exhibiting a sam­ ple of barb wire to farmers and, in or­ der to get it introduced, offers to send them enough to build forty rods of fence, free of charge. All lie requires is a signature to a nicely printed state­ ment that the farmer is the (individual owner of the premises. This "state­ ment, by the way, is attached to a blank order, and the farmer who signs it will probably learn a lesson that will always be appreciated because of its cost. As yet. Orin Stafford Of Ice­ land, is the only man we have heard of who accepted the young man's gener­ ous proposition.--Somonauk Keville. THE I'ENNKSSKEANS COMING. We are glad to be able to announce to our readers that the Tennesseeans the best troupe of Colored Vocalists living, will make their first visit to McHenry on Wednesday evening of next week, July 7th. and give one of their popular entertainments at River­ side Ilall. This is the original compa­ ny that built the College at Nashville, and are without quession the mogt popular troupe of singers in the United States. It is seldom that the citizens of McHenry and surrounding eouutry have an opportunity like this, and we hope they will improve it by iiijing Riverside Hall to its utmost capacity. The Hull will be especially arranged and seated for the occasion, and re­ served seat tickets will be for sale at the Drug Stores. Do ;iot fail to secure your tickets. It will be the best enter­ tainment that ever visited McHenry. ONE great need at Fox Lake, for the accommodation of the Steamboat, and more particularly the passengers, is a regular Dock on the Wesjf side of the Lake, at about a central point between the Club Houses. As the arrangements now are the Boat is obliged to make four or five stops where there is no Dock, back out and turn around, thus losing at least three-quarters of an hours time, besides the great inconve­ nience, while if there was a regular Dock she would be obliged to stop but once, would save ail this time aud ac­ commodate passengers much better.-- Capt. Hill does all in his power to please, but with the present arrange­ ments he is unable to do so entirely, besides being subject to much unnec- cessary labor. We trust that those in­ terested will look at this in its proper light, and that the evil may be reme­ died at once. PERSONS traveling by railway are subject to continued annoyance from flying cinders. On getting into the eyes they are not only painful for the moment, but are often the causeiif long suffering, that ends in total loss of sight. A very simple and effective cure is within the reach of every one, and would prevent much sufiering and expense were it more generally known. It is simply t|pe or two grains of flax seed. These may be placed in the eye without iniury or paiu to that delicate organ, alid shortly they begiu to 6well and dessolve a glutinous substance that covers the ball of the eye,envelop­ ing any foreign substance that may be in it. The irritation or cutting of the membrane is thus preventeJ, aud the annoyance may soon be washed out.-- A do/eu of these grains stowed' away in the vest pocket may prove, in an emergency, worth their number in gold dollars. LAWRENCE, LUTTEN ft Go's. Circus, which exhibited in this village on Tuesday last, coming as it did on the heels of Barnum's, and not being prop­ erly advertised, wa? very poorly pat­ ronized, but nevertheless -was one of the be=t entertainments that has visi­ ted this place in a long time. Indeed, there are few shows traveling through the country that'will equal them in merit. The Fire King and Queen, Sig. Diablo and Lulu VrEtta are won­ ders in their line, eating coals of fire, blazing sulphui, drinking boiling oil, and doing other acts with fire that was truly astonishing. In short the show from beginning to end wis A. No. 1, and is justly entitled to a liberal pat­ ronage from the public. Should they ever again come this way they will be sure to draw a big cro-vd. Fourth "of July at Fox Lake. The "Mary Griswold" will leave her Dock on Saturday, July 3d, at 9 A. M., sharp, arriving at Fox Lake at 10:10, A. M„ where, during the day there lylll be speeches, music, dancing* boat rid­ ing, etc., etc. Fare. 50 cents, the round trip. The Steamboat will make trips round the Lake during the day and leave for McHenry at 5 P.^M., and at midnight. Round trip tickets available by either boat. WALTER HILL, Captain. The 4th at Greenwood.

Hartman have taken the contract to harvest and put in the b&rn C. S. Doles crop of hay, about 125 acres. WOODSTOCK. Enrron PLAINOKVLER :--Woodstock will not celebrate the 4th this year.-- A celebration was talked of. but It was finally decided not advisable to under­ take it, as our town lately had one enormus crowd, that attended Barn- umks show. The show called out a variety of opinions, commendatory, and the opposite. The prodigious amount of advertising led many to ex­ pect rather too much, and such were disappointed. But in many respects the show was worthy public patronage, but the immense crowd made it almost impossible to see all there was of it. Our park is a most attiactive place just now. Our spring house has been improved by the removal of the parts on which the thoughtless ones used to perch so often, and repel by their ap­ pearance. conversation, and tobacco, ladies and others who desired to drink. The seats in the park are now used in­ stead, and the spring house is free from the crowd that used to be such an annoyance. Lately we noticed among the shade trees in the park a number of birds that were strange to us both in appear­ ance and song. On inqu'rv we were told thev?were English sparrows, aud we have heard it. said that they drive away all other birds. We are ready to welcome the little Englishmen, provid&d they leave behind tue belli­ gerent disposition that seems indigen­ ous to the soil of their native country. We shall watch their habits as we have opportunity. . t)ur city ce^M^Tflfc source of disap­ pointment to some, but as a town it scarcely does us justice. The number inside the limits of the corporation is ascertained to be 146(5, but it will be remembered that the corporate Units extend only a half mile each way from the center of the public square, and some hundreds of our actual citizens live outside those limits, especially toward the fairground and south of it, and on Chemung Jstreet running north­ west. These and other places ought to be included in the corporation, so that census figures would do us justice. St. Mary's Catholic church of this city is being enlarged and improved under . the energetic and efficient management of the pastor, Father Thomas F. Leyden. He has done a great deail to build up the Catholic church in this place. Rev. S. Earngy and wife of the >f. E. church have returned from their visit east, with renewed health and strength for pastorial work in our midst. On Sunday Rev. S. D. McEwin of the Baptist church preached his farewell discourse. lie leaves on Thursday oi this week for Wellington. Kansas, a place of about 6000 inhabitants, and but three churches. A year or more ago Dr. Howard L. Pratt, one of his parishioners of this place, went there, and now the pastor follows, so that the Baptist church now being established there may very probably be regarded as an outgrowth of the church here, Mr. McEwen i* a young man or marked ability and in (hie nee, and this entire community regret to see him go else­ where Mr, Charles Northrup of Woodstock, has passed a successful examination, and been admitted to the practice of law amoi1^ us. As we could not be present at the graduation exercises Tuesday evening we can say but little about them. As usual the Presbyterian church was filled to overflowing, and we hear the efforts of the young graduates wall spoken of. We give the names:--Kittie Davis, Kittie Schryver, I,. Edd Spooner. Eliza EcKert, Hattie L. Murphy, Rose McManus, Alma Young. Jennie Paine, Grace Fuller. Lula Kennedy, Sarah Hartlett, Lillie Fnrcr. Lact year the graduating class consisted of ten ladies and one gentleman, the year before one lady and two gentlemen. In the the years 22 ladies and 4 gentlemen have completed the course laid down in our sehool. Can any one explain why the list shows so many more ladies than gentlemen? For want of time we leave unnoticed some tliiugs we should like to Speak ot. Waucondalce Cream Parlor. E. A.

EDITOR PLAINDEALEU WE have been on a picnic and such a picnic that we thought we would give yoii; anj ac­ count of it. Ml<s Mary Smith and the Misses Huson were the chief engineers of the afiair, an I that they may suc­ ceed in every undertaking as they did in this, is the sincere wish of all of us. Fox Lake was chosen as the place best calculated to please, and we wero to leave Yolo at 10 A. M. Very well, we were all promptly on hand, that is nearly all of us, aud at the appointed time we set out iu high spirits for the Lake. The day was moro'than bad hard­ ly dared to hope for, and h-vl It been a tew degrees cooler would have been simply perfect. The ride was enjoyed immensely. A lively conversation was kept tip all the way, with only such breaks in it as were caused by sudden lurches of the carriage, jamming the speaker's hat down over his mouth, or the sudden taking of one's breath by being switched in the face by the over­ hanging branches along the roadside, all of which was fully appreciated by everybod}\excepting the afflicted ones. The lake was reached at about 11 A. M. Some time was spent in deciding where we should locate, but we finally settled ourselves for the day on Sayles' grounds. By this time the "Inner man" began to assert himself. Accordingly tables were spread, under the supervision of Miss Smith, with the help ot an excel­ lent corps of assistants prominent among whom were Miss Nannie Stan­ ford, of Cioverdale Farm. Miss Addio Kapple ot'Fort Ilill, Charley Ranght and Sim Russell, of Yolo. The latter two were simply indispensable, being sent out under guard of one young lady apiece, to carry water and making themselves generally useful. At about 1 p. M. dinner was an­ nounced and we were happy, or would have been had it not been for one trifle. Through some miscalculation our table was spread on an inclination of about 60 degrees, and those on the lower side found that it was quite uec- essary to be cautious that they did not fall out of our Impromptu dining hall into the lake that was shining so plac­ idly in the sun just at tho foot of the hill. Nothing serious occurred, how­ ever, and after the meal was finished and the tables cleared, we all made our way to the "Mary Griswold" for a trip around the lake. With such a courteous and obliging Captain in charge as Mr. 11111. and such delightful scenery all around us, the trip could not fail to be enjoyed. At first there was a grand rush for the upper deck, but soou the conclusion was reached that they didn't care for the upper deck so mnch after all, and down they came, each and every one of them looking iike an animated piece of the fancy work affected by so many ladles and known as spatter work, the soot and steam having played havoc with the delicate lawns and laces. As works of decorative art they would have been Immense, but as yet we believe that it isn't{jtiMisid- ered the thing to wear "spatteYedj* costumes, however popular the painted ones may be. Our steamboat excur­ sion ended at last, and then row boats were pressed into service. Many of the yonng ladies inclined to the belief tiiat floating dreamily along over the water with a gallant attendant was perfect bliss, but we will wager that when they examined their sun-burned cheeks in the privacy of their dressing rooms, they were unaiiimous in their verdict that the result was blister. No accidents occurred to mar the enjoyment of the day, that is nothing serious, but had the water been a little deeper and the boat a little farther from the shore, we might have had a first class sensation. As it was a boat overturned, depositing one of its fair occupants in the weeds and water just on the edge of the lake. There is no telling what "might have been" had not the young gentleman in charge rushed heroically to the rescue, and^ at the imminent peril of wetting his feet, succeeded in bringing his dripping burden to terra firma. Such bravery ought not to go unrewarded, and in our opinion the afore mentioned young gent ought to be presented] with a medal. Well, all days, however pleasant, have an end, and of course this was no exception. After about six hours of unalloyed fun, we turned our faces homeward, satisfied that we had had picnic enough for one day, and feeling that all we wished for now was rest. It would be impossible to tnake even passing mention of the costumes worn by the young ladies. We think it quite sufficient when we say that the fair daughters of Lake County never looked fairer. Among the young gentlemen present George Cable was superb in his man­ agement of a diminutive, reversible Chinese parasol. We don't know that it was reversible originally, iu fact we incline to the belief that it wasu't* But it became so. eventually, at any rate. Ward Gale secluded hiihself in the romantic shudes of an elegant broad brimmed straw hat, trimmed in blue drees braid. The scene was also enlivened by an occasional linen dus­ ter, and once iu a while a pair of gloves. Though wo don't recall any more costumes that attracted our at­ tention particularly, we hasten to assure the young gentlemen that they all looked too sweet for anything. We congratulate the young ladies on the success of this, their first picnic of the season,|;ind hope that it may not long be the last. ONE OF THK CROWD. Richmond Department. CONTRIBUTED BT 8. R.

The Richmond cheese factory during the census year consumed 2,500,000 pounds of milk which produced 250.000 pounds of cheese and 40,000 pounds of butter. The two products during the season footed up 932,625, the average price of cheese being 8} cents per pound and of bntter 30 cents. The averago number of cows supplying this factory Is about 500. The Burton cheese factory used 900,000 pounds of milk from which was manufactured 90.000 pounds of cheose and 7.000 of butter. The average price received was 8} cents for cheese and 30 cents for butter which brought the valns of the two products at 99.975. Mrs. G. P. Wodell had a Night- Blooming Cereus from Price's Green House,ueneva, iu blossom at her place Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, which was the center of attraction to all in and about this village, many coming from some distance to beholll the curiosity. One flower was pro­ duced the first night and Wednesday two were in bloom. .They measured, when fully opened, twelve inches In diameter Mrs. Wodell took great pal us to advertise it that all might improve the opportunity of seeing the curious plant. Many thanks are due Mrs. Wodell for her kindners in taking the plant up to Mr. R. R. Crosby who was unable otherwise to see It, being confined to the house with a severe cold. The census enumeration of the 131st district, which' comprises the town­ ships of Richmond and Burton, is fin­ ished.
