His left •side is completely paralyzed, and it is with difficulty that he talks at all. Dr. McClellan, of Wilmot. was called, and at the time of writing, Wednesday morning, lie is somewhat better, and his many friends hope that notwith­ standing his advanced age, he may get around again, THE Dramatic Club are now re­ hearsing the Five Act Drama entitled "The Streets of New York." which they propose to bring out in about four weeks. The Club have worked hard, have a fine stage and good scenery, and certainly are getting up iuterest- ifig eiitertairrmefits. and should receive the encouragement and patronage of our citizens. Principally owing to the bad weather, their second niglits en­ tertainment was not patronized as it should or would have been, but when they bring out their new Play we trust they may receive arousing benefit. O. W. OWEN, our old reliable Watch Maker and Jeweler, is making prepar­ ations to thoroughly refit his store, and when completed he proposes to have it as neat and tasty as anv store of the kind in this section.

Samuel Stocker, an old and highly respected citizen, died at his residence in this village, on Sunday evening last, aged 79 years. He lias been a res­ ident of this town for over twenty- seven years, coming here, we believe, from Vermont. In !iis younger days lie at one time followed the ministry, preaching tor the Methodists at one time, and afterward changing his faith to Universalisui, and for tlie latter de­ nomination we believe he preached for some time after he came west., hut for the last twenty years lie had aban­ doned the ministry entirely. lie was a man of ability, well read in all the'general topics of the day straightforward, honest and upright, and was honored and respected by all who knew hi in. The genial face and hearty laugh ot "Uncle Stocker," as he was familiarly called, will be misled by all. He leaves a widow and several children to mourn his loss. THE world is so full of work to be done there is no room for idlers in any field. Work, with the brain or with the hand, is written upon everything in the land, and woe to the man or woman who fails to read and ooey ;he order. The worker has happiness and a harvest. The idler begs in harvest and has nothing. Young man and young woman, it matters not how much you will inherit, remember, by a law of your being, happiness, the most desirable acquisition, only comes to those who work. No man ever -saw a happy idler. Time-killers are sim­ ply suicides, shuffling along year after year, and when they die are soon for­ gotten,. because they have filled no place iu the world's great work-shop, nor in any way added to the comfort and happiness of the race. No man or woman is more to be pitied than the idler.--Ex. CORN CORN CORN is is is KING. KING. KING STEVENS & SCHNORR.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--When I was a small lad, with other boys, we used to find birds nest# and disturb the lit­ tle ones, they would ©ill until the pai«- *nt birds came, and then we would have sport with t!ie old birds. I re­ member of seeing the dog chase the little lamb in t'je field and hearing it bleat for It's mother's help. Since that time I have learned that the little birds and lamb were praying. Pray­ ing for help. Asking their natural protectors to come to" their aid ill a time of trouble. I have often seen a child sitting in its crib or on the floor with a tear on its cheek and a quiver­ ing lip, looking up to its mother foe care. Perhaps a kind word and a smlle and the mother passes on abont^ her daily toil and care. But by and by the Child cries outright, as if something was really the matter, and the good mother drops all and flies to its relief. I think I have read in a book what a heathen poet has said: "tor we are also his offspring." Believing the poet was right and that we are the offspring of the great Good Father, may we not call to him. in our trouble anrl sorrow P Indeed, haven't wo the instinct of a bird or a lamb, or the heart of a child, or is it possible that the Great Father has less interest in us than a bird has in her young, or does he care less for his children than an earthly mother does for he^ offspring. Is it possible that our Great Father is like the rocks of Gibralter or that he has a set of un­ alterable laws that when we call to him in our distress or sorrow lie can't hear or come to our aid ? That" while we are passing through this vale of tears lie looks down upon lis like a statue of marble ? I don't want the God of the deist. If I am deceived let me remain so. Let me feel that I have a great, loving Father who can be touched with all the feelings of my in­ firmities and when I die I may fall in­ to his loving arms foreve.r. PRATES. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--! notice that some--of your correspondents mention the Birthday Party of Grand­ pa Beckley, that took place on the 17th Inst, at tiie residence of his youngest son. L. Beckley. Being one of the guests I will merely say that a large (J (\1iJ iin was expected, and was only prevented by the extreme inclemency of the weather, raining, as i t did. from early morn until late in the day. The child­ ren, grand-children and great-grand­ children were mostly there, and some of the invited guests braved the storm and put in an appearance, but the com­ pany seemed small in the capacious parlors of the host, yet all seemed to try and remedy the lack ef numbers by social converse, vocal and inslf-u mental music, intermingled with rich jokes and apt repartees. The w.'ilis and mantles were resplendent with flowers, but not until we passed into the dining room did the artistic beauty of tlie decorative art show it­ self to perfection. Conspicuous upon the wall iu evergreen letters was the injunction to "ear, drink and be mer­ ry,"' and if I could judge it was fully complied with. A beautiful wreath of flowers extended entire around the table, while numerous vases of florid beauties adorned the centre, aiul as to the edibles, why--why Mr. Editor, there must have been more than seven baskets left 1 am sure, after all were satisfied, to say nothing of the bi­ valves. When the com pan v was seated at the table av appropriate communica­ tion was read by Captain Beckley, and after repairing again to the parlor, some poetry written by Miss Clira Howe for the occasion was read. Music and dancing were iu order iu the even­ ing, but the only event that interested me in this line was to see the aged sire of the occasion lead his great- graiid-daughter, (Miss Lillie Gra»y) on the floor for a dauce. The music struck up a march and thus we had tlie .first and fourth generations dancing to­ gether. The united ages of three of the oldest persons present was 265 years--and here I bid theingood night. [Owing to tlie crowded state of ou columns the paper read by Captain Beckley will he laid over until next week.--Ed.] AUCTION SALE.

A. Bald­ win, of the city, made his friends here a call on Friday of hist week. Don't forget the Literary at Hill's Hall this week Friday evening. Some of the boys at the Factory thought to play a jok3 on the people by blowing tlie whistle for fifteen min­ utes in the dead of the night on Friday last. We learn that the Village Dads will be fotced to call a new election after the next meeting, for Joliu Marshal will tender his resignation, as he In­ tends to go away, and that with John­ son's and Finch's already accepted It does not leave a quorum, Rowley lias put In his Notion store a fine lot of the various kinds of Teas. The slaughter house is still there and the obnoxious smell with it. John DeGrushe came out from the city on Saturday last and returned on Sunday. John has a permanent job at 20 and 22 Michigan Ave., iu a whole­ sale house. We understand his family will move into the city as soon as suit-e able arrangements can be made. \ J. B. Butler is improving slowly and C. C. Petti bone is again able to be 6&t. Elder Robert* family have arrived and we are favorably Impressed with the Elder, his wife and two little girls. A Mr. Hullister, from Minnesota, an uncle of Mrs. Clark, is at their place ou a visit. Any one la this Immediate vicinity who has good cord wood for sale will find a ready market for it if they will haul it to town. Ed St, Clair spent the Sabbath with his family. He Is at present traveling for a publishing house of Chicago. The new base burner stoves tor the school house have arrived but are not set up yet for want of coal. Ote Ellsworth has sold his dray to Charley Verinilyea, whoylll now be our drayman. *** Gilbert Hunt has been laid up with rheumatism but Is now at Ills work agai n. * Darby and Coy alt have arrived home after five months work in Nebraska. Leroy Beckley has further adovned his establishment with a Silverware case. Prom the Harvard Independent. He who doubts that It takes all kinds of people to mako a world, should try publishing a county paper for about six months. It is strange what ideas some have in regard to the mission of a local paper. Publishers are frequently asked to render favors of one kind or another to people who "have alwas taken the paper,'* or who are "taking your paper." Now it is evident that people take aid pay for a paper because they find reading therein which answers their require­ ments. Editors generally try to give their readers full value for their mon­ ey, and sometimes without the money. They lay out % great deal of labor and Incur considerable expense each week to furnish them' with fresh reading matter. The columns of a newspaper are the publisher's sole stock Iu trade and from their use lie must derive his livelihood. The man who asks for space therein without rendering an equivalent, might, with equal justice, ask a lawyer to work up and plead a case for him gratis, or request a black­ smith to shoe his horse for nothing be­ cause lie had employed him at some previous time. When a paper ceases to he worth its subscription price, then it is time to ask for extras. At any rate do not try to Impress upon the mind of the publisher that you arc doing him a favor by taking his paper. Probably one of the tuost amus­ ing occurrences on our streets circus day was the sale, by a Cheap John vender, of a box of worthless com­ pound for cleaning the teeth and sham­ pooing purposes. One of McHenry County's editors, who appeared to be very much interested in what the ven­ der said to the crowd around him, stepped up to the wagon.and planking down a quarter seized the open box of dope, remarking he would buy that box as there was a chance of the re­ mainder being impure stuff. He prob­ ably bad patent (or some other) med­ icine on the brain, as he had a bundle of Kendal's spavin cure under his arm which he was trying to sell to our cltizeus.

Fnrer, WHO had expected build a brick store next door south the express office this fall, has Roned the same until next spring. Since the Presbyterian and Baptist societies have united 5ti holding serv- fce In the Baptist Church they huve had no Sabbath evening service. Last Sunday evening, however, the Rev. J. D. McLean expected to inaugurate the first of a series of lectures ou char­ acter, and if lie received a fair audi* ence, as he certainly should, lie will continue evening scrvlce throughout the whole winter. And now tlie flag presentation to the Guards will not occur until Friday evening, Novemh»r 4th. This post­ ponement i« made so as not to couflict with the entertainment which the Tennesseeans propose ^giving on the evening of October 2jWK~for the ben­ efit of the CotigreJ-iUloiial Church. The Expn^ssi"Offioe and Bird's har- ne?s shop lijave been treated to a new coat of paint on the outside, which is certainly a decided improvement to the same. ( The Beach Brothers, who are asso­ ciated with the Chicago Comedy Com­ pany, and who played to good and ap­ preciative houses all of last -week, were nfembers of Battery A., Chicago Light AHillerv, during tlie War, Oncoming to Woodstock they Immediately re­ paired to the hardware store of fhos. Whitsou & Son, expecting to find their old comrade and member of the same gun squad, Oscar Whitson. Im­ agine their surprise and sorrow ou as" certain lug that he whom they had counted upon seeing and talking over old scenes and Incidents during three years of active service, had been laid away to rest from the care and toll of litis life for over three years. They found, however, James G. Eastwood and%Vm. II. Cowlin, who were both members of Battery A., and the meet­ ing was of an extremely pleasant and friendly nature, after over 16 years of separation Geo, B. Beach has, iu his business, that of an actor of no inferior order, traveled over nearly all the territory, and visited nearly all the battle fields in which the Battery had taken part. Both the boys were gen­ eral favorites with their command and Geo. B., who was a veteran actor before the war, while the Battery was in cainp at Larkinsville, Alabaica, dur­ ing tlie winter of 1864, organized an amateur theatrical company among his comrades, and with tlie aid of his brother, who had also been connected with this line of business, played suc­ cessfully such plays as the "Golden Farmer.""Paddy Miles""the Limerick Boy," "Box and Cox" and the "Mornei* tous Question" to good houses. In fact, generally speaking, to the whole Brigade, exceptiug those on actual duty. Generals Morgan L. Smith, Division commander. Gen. Ligiitburn, Brigade Commander, and once or twice Gen. John A. Logan, who com­ manded the 15th Aruiy Corps. Gen, W. T. Sherman, anil Gen. James B. Mc- Phersou were present. The audience was seated or stood out doors iu front of two large tents which had been borrowed at Division Hea<r Quarters and with the use of several wagon cov­ ers, was so arranged as to make every­ thing necessary to enclose the stage, dressing room, etc., etc. Fred Church, now with Harper's Weekly, and one of j their best artists, did the scenic work upon clean wagon covers with pieces of bin lit wood. Tlie female characters were taken by a couple of good lookiug boys, and their wardrobes procured from tlie wives of tiie officers of the 116th, and 127th Illinois, and the 8th Missouri Infantry. The orchestra was couiposed.of two violins, two flutes and one banjo, and this part of the per­ formance was equal to uiauy first class concerns who labored under far Jitter- ent auspices than this troupe did in producing a fair performance without the usual paraphernalia tor such, and laboring under all manner ot difficul­ ties. Everything was free. All were dead heads, the officers "chipping iu" to defray what little expense there was. It helped to entertain tiie com­ mand and make pleasant the two or three mouths after a long and tedious campaign from tlie Big Black River, Mississippi, after the fall of Vicksburg, and scige of Jacksou to Chattanooga, Knoxville and return, not until the middle of the cold,wiuter of '63^--4.
