It wa» almost one constant flash of lightning, the thunder was territls and the rain fell in torrents. In this immediate vi­ cinity we have heard of no particular damage, but In other localities «hey were not so fortunate. WK hear considerable complaint about the boys whittling and disfigur­ ing the railing of the new bridge, and other public property in the village,-- Whether boys or men thev should be Admonished to desist at once, and if this does not have the desired effect, more severe measures should be resort­ ed to. as thi6 disfiguring of public or private property is disgraceful lu the extreme. THK Base Ball game between the Fox Rivers and the Elgin C'ub, on Fri­ day last was won by the latter by a score of 23 t# 8. eight Innings only be­ ing played. The Elgin Club failed to reach here until five o'clock In the af­ ternoon. too late to commence a game of Ball with any show of ending It before dark. The result was no sur­ prise. as but two or three of the Fox Rivers Nave had any practice tlns^sea­ son, and those two or threj proved themselves the worst demoralized of the lot. s THB biggest part of the Elgin Ball Club liirod a rig from Wigbtman's Llvesy on Friday night to take them home, but the balance, with a few out­ siders who came up to see the game remained over night, and did them­ selves no credit by their actions. One would have thought a band of Comanche Indians had been let loose on our streets. They evidently thought McHenry a back-woods town, where citizens had no rights which they were bound to respect, but if our marshal had been attending to his business they might have been con­ vinced of their error.

They were all large and fine, and when cooked and ready for the table jrere perfection Itself. The "Early Illinois" must surely take the front rank.

D, SMrrtir. of the firm of Smith Bros., Osborne City, Kansas, has shown us a late cepy of a pa pet published at that place, in which we find an item in relation to Wool, which shows that buying wool in that section Is hot so laborious a business as In this section. By a report of the purchases of Smith Bros., we see the lots bought run from one to four thousand pouuds each, which P. D. informs us they get all sacked and ready to ship.

A young boy of Mr. McNab's was struck one day last week by a stone thrown by a boy whose parents are boarding at the Parker House, and very severely injured. He was hit near the teiuple, and the only wonder is that he was uot killed outright. It is no excuse to say it was accidental, for whether It wasor not there certainly is no excuse for promiscuously throwing stones In the street. Let this accident be a warning to all.

Mrs. John A. Logan Is the guest of Mayor Joslyn's family for a few days, and as General Logan has so man/ warm supporters In this county, and as Mrs. Logan herself is generally recog­ nised as the people's friend,and as the Judges doors are wide open to callers, the good lady is liable to weary of hand-shaking during her sojourn. Woodstock and viciuity, we Judge, has furnished her quota to the chapter Of accidents within a short apace of time. M. D. Friend is still on crutches but recovering from being well nigh crushed to death by the falling of a barn roof winch lie with others was attempting to repair on W.T. Palmer's Maple wood farm, north of here, near the brick yard. Mrs. Chnppel. who resides with him, fell a few days later, since which she has sufiered extreme pain ft-oin her In­ juries.

A brakeman on a freight train from a car, aud by the fall his leg broken. We may fail in our chronology of these events, and may hare failed to note all, but we give your readers the benefits of what we kuow ot accidents hereabouts. Dr. P. W. Murphy has been consid­ ered near "death's door," but when last we heard, was improving. Mrs. Dr. Davis died on Thursday evening, the 14th. She has been ailing for a long time, and her slender con­ stitution was unequal to the struggle. By her death who shall estimate the loss, tohor husband and family, to her church, to her social circle, to all who knew her. She was one of those rare persons who have the faculty of being In the right place at the right time, always ministering to some humane necessity. So these many years has she been with us, always cheerful never weary of doing good. The close of her earthly chapter is the beginning .of a spiritual life, where her reward Is sure, T,he many, many of her late neighbors, friends and relatives, who attended her funeral add a more nieritod.ojntuaiy than we can write. Prof. Wilkie and daughter are so­ journing with us during the heated season. Like many others he is at­ tracted by.our mineral water and the many inviting eharacterestles of our healthy ami beautiful city. Larry Jones is happy, although his back pension ouly amounted to 83,890, and his monthly to $13.50. If you smoke he will furnish the cigars, but neither beer nor whiskey will be or­ dered on his account. Larry, we con­ gratulate you, and hope to see the time when all shall be peusloued who donned the Blue. We heard a man finding fault about these pensions causing *uuh heavy bur­ dens to the people. He WM asked: "Do you 'smoke F' "No." "Do you chewp" "No." "Do you wear foreign or domestic goods for clothing? Do you drink beer or whiskey or anythlug of that kind ?" "No, nor tea or coflee." "Then," said the questioner, "it Is a small burden rests on your shoulders, while a big one is taken from the ex- soldier's family, by the pensions of which you complain." Let every per­ son who finds fault with the Govern­ ment tor granting these pensions, stop aud estimate how much of it ho has to pay.and. methinks, bis fault-fiuding will cease. enKBawooD EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--It seems our correspondence was behind last week.

Nunda, 111. MR. EDITOR:--I noticed In the PLAINDEALER of July 13th, reference to an editorial of the Chicago Evening Journal of July 7th, headed a "Prayer Guage," which would have answered one hundred years ago, but at this en­ lightened age, it looks rathor thin. If the President should recover, a vig- orone claim will be set up all over the Christian land, that Prayer did It. Hundreds of salaried preachers will be willing to asseverate that they prayed to their God to spare the life of the President, and that they fully believe their prayers were eficaeious. Per­ haps that will settle It. But If God does not want the President to die -why did be suffer him to be shot and then let such a worthless Christian viillan make two shots with a bull dog pistol at our Chief Magistrate? Would it not have been better to prevent such a rash deed than to permit it, and then have to spend several weeks to correct and repair the damage? Is not prevention in this case, as well as all others, better than cure ? Respect­ fully yours, J. COMPTOX. Vouo, III.. July 23d. lOTl. NOTICE. The undersigned.

Barber, S. Cutter and Z. E. Goodrich were appointed a committee to confer with the road commissioners of the Townships of Richmond aud Burton as to the build­ ing ol'the bridges petitioned for by those Townships. This committee war Instructed to call an extra session of the Board of Supervisors, to act on the matter. If deemed necessary. We understand that the committee has concluded not to oall an extra session, which throws th3 whole thing over uutll the next moetlng of the Board, next September. It appears to the writer that the law touching oounty aid to Townships whs re extraordinary expense has to be Incurred In b'lllding bridges, is perfeotlv plain, and there ought not to be any quibbles on the part of the Board of Supervisors or Its committees, or unnecessary delay In settling the matter when the pubiio In­ terests and convenlenoe are at stake.-- The Solon bridge, in which this Town- shlb Is Interested, has been condemned as unsafe by the road oaninissioners, and although unloaded vehicles yet cross it. the hazard of putting It to the strain of a loaded wagon Is so great tiiat no one would risk It, and eonse> quently heavy teaming must be di­ verted around by the Collison bridge or the first bridge west of Spring Grove--a great Inoouvenlenoe to a great portion of the south end of tbe Township and Northern McHenry.-* Our road commissioners have endeav­ ored to follow the law striotly. Their petition was duly presented to the Board of Supervisors at theopeniug of the last session. The delay of the Board, or Its committee, In taking measures to settle the matter, forces the commissioners either to patiently wait till September, during a season of the year most favorable lor oqilding or eice go or. and put up the bridge at the risk of the Towushio.
