We noticed the Sentinel gave a pass­ ing notice of the arrest ot Will Leon­ ard by Officer Beuthuyseu of this place The facts as we hear them are about as follows: From the verj ' hour that Leonard escaped from Constable Petti- bone Lafe was after him. Will first took the cars for Iowa where he got a job on a freight train and on his way back Late cut him off at the Junction aud lie next turned up at Nickcrson- vilie. near Chicago, when Lafe put up a job on him, but before the trap could be sprung another detective of Chica­ go, not knowing of Laic's design, scared ttie game away, when he went to Silver Springs, Wis., and then a Milwaukee detective was put on the track, but Will foiled him also by com­ ing to Chicago in a car of ice. As soon as he landed in Chicago Lafe was onto him again, when he escaped aud came to Huntley, taking refuge in a friends house about half way from Huntley to Woodstock. Lafe being close onto him all this t ime ordered a tig aud went out about 3 o'clock 1 n the morn­ ing aud in due time gained entrance to the house aud captured him in bed. For several months past articles have been missed from several stores iu this place and some time ago this matter was put in Benthuyseu's hands to ferret out. On Monday he found the goods iu the house of a German named Licquorth. south of the village. How the matter will end remains for further development. Richmond Department. OONTRIBCTISI» BT S. K.

The long continued and unprecedent­ ed rains excite grave apprehension among the farmers that the clover seed is being ruined.

I t ha* now been wet so long that i t is beginning to rot where i t l ies. I ' l te yield of seed was expected to be a very large one, as the heads were fil led better than in most seasons, and the farmers looked hopefully to this crop to recoup them iu some de­ gree for the losses on wheat, corn and oats caused by the severs drought ot the summer.

COLBY BROS, The Commissioners have let the con­ tract for an iron bridge across the Nipisiug at Solon, to the King Bridge Co, of Cleveland, Ohio. An iron bridge Is going to cost a large sum of •money but i t will be the chcapei in the end, and we are glad to know that the Commissioners are not influenced by any penny wise aud pound foolish notions in this matter. Commissioner Wray iias just handed us the town assessment taken from official sources, ^;UMi\which i t appears that the figures given in this department on a former occasion were incorrect. The assess­ ment is $T> 13,337, four-tenths per cent upon which "vould give 82.053.34 for bridge purposes. I t is l ikely the So­ lon bridge, abutments and all . will cost ; considerably over that sum, and if so, i t remain* to be seen whether the County Board of Supervisors will com­ ply with the law as to county aid.-- Now that accurate measurements have been made it is found that tl ie bridge siiouhl be eighty-eight feet in length and the contract was let for that length ap #1.700. The abutments are expen­ sive also. TDK MAKKNGO POST OFFICB. I t is nofcofteu we feel i t a duty to interfere in the quarrels of our neigh­ bors, and this article would not be written were i t not for the.fact t l iar i t j is not born in us to a friend unj.ist- I ly aud maliciously kicked and not ' feel l ike doing a li t t le hearty kicking back. [ Tlie Elgin Atlv tcate, for some rea-j son or other, is v*ry bitter in i ts at­ tacks upon Congressman Sherwin, es­ pecially crit icizing his course iu regard to the Elgin and Marengo post offices. In i ts i«Mie of Oct. 19th i t not only scores Mr. Sherwin indecently, but also offers a gratuitous insult to J . Q. Adams and to hi* friends. The affairs of the Marengo post office have for some years been administered by W. C. Stewart, who Is a candidate for re­ appointment. Dr. J . Q. Adaius is also a candidate for the' position. This strife gave \he Advocate a chance to strike a blow at Mr. Sherwin, and, in i ts mistaken zeal i t stoops to use the following language in regard to Mr. Adams, than whxim no more intelli­ gent. capable and true man stands up. in Marengo, or Elgin either, for that mutter: "Mr. Adams, who seeks the office, we are informed is hot a representative man; has no particular claim on the: Repuliltvan party; manages to go hunt­ ing about elect ion time- and thereby avoids the trouble ot voting; once held the office of tax collector in one of the northern towns of Mcllenry, and for the manner in which lie discharged the duties of this unimportant position, John C. Sherwin, Congressman, is re­ ferred to the former neighbors of the man. Careful inquiry might reveal to the astute member that his appointee is hardly tlie man to fill so important a trust as postmaster of Marerigo. i t certainly would if the member had not deliberately made up his mind to in­ sult the party that made htm congress­ man. and outrage common decency by foisting on the people officials who are recognized to he totally unfit for the places they seek." ' To us who live at this end of the Fourth Congressional District , and who know Mr. Adams personally, the above language goe* down hard, and the author of i t would 'stand a good chance to get kicked at sight anywhere iu Mcllenry county, where Mr. Adams is well known as the "representative man" of his section, aud one whose personal character Is unassailable in verity. As to his claims upon tlie Re­ publican party, let his war record bear wit ness. If the Republican party owes anything to anybody it owes some- tlii iyr lo the battle scarred heroes who gave all but l ife for the preservation of tlfe Union and made a Republican party a possibili ty. Three long years J . Q. Adams served iu tl ie armies of the Union--served with such distin­ guished bravry that he was awarded a medal of honor therefor--he bears on his person the scars of a rebel nils. »le, a more ho iorable passport than could be written by tlie most distin­ guished hand; and he caine home per­ manently broken in health through .hardships and exposures incident to a soldiers hazardous life. To whom, it not to such a man. does the Republican party owe any thing? Besides his war record. Mr. Adams has always been a consistent and earnest Republican ill politics, a Pepublican from principle and not for party favor, and one of the most eurnent and efficient worker* for the part!/ that Mcllenry county can boast of. If he lias no claims on the party, who has? If the Advocate writercan read what he wrote about the "office of tax col­ lector" et uequitur, aud not feel asham­ ed, some friend, capable of that emo­ tion, ought to feel ashamed far li iui. He does not dare to make a direct alle­ gation, but insinuates, what ? A fair construction of t l ie meaning of the lan­ guage is, that Mr. Adams held the office of collector aud performed the duties of that office discreditably and dishonorably to himself, and to the dissatisfaction of his "former neigh­ bors" and that on account of this, l ie is not fit to be Postmaster of Marengo, that his appointment Is an "outrage" upon "c.uuinon decency"'--facts which would be revealed to Mr. Sherwin by proper inquiry. If ever there was a case for a libel suit against a newspa­ per here would seem to be one. The facts, as we are Informed, are, that Mr. Adams was elected collector by the votes of his fellow townsmen who l^d full confidence iu his honesty and abil­ i ty and beiore he entered upon the duties of the office, he removed from the town, aud another collector was appointed to fill the vacancy. Those are the facts upon which the Advocate based i ts derogatory insinuations. Now, as to Mr, Sherwin's action In recommending Mr. Adaius for Post­ master of Marengo. In making these appointments i t is plainly the duty of the congressman to do in accordance with the wishes of a majority of the patrons of the office. I t seldom hap­ pens that there is only one candidate. If mor« than one each will have his friends, and i t often becomes a matter of great delicacy in the congressman tu judge which applicant represents a majority ol the patrons of the office.-- But he must judge from ?ome basis or other, and tlie most accurate one is that of petit ion, How does Mr. Adams stand on that basis? It is a matter well known that Mr. Adams and Mr. Stewart commenced circulating their petit ions at the same time; that Mr. Adams' petit ion was closed up about the 1st of last February ; that Mr. Stew­ art solicited names up to a date much later; that Mr. Adams petit ion was signed by over -10U patrons of t l ie office 50 more ti tan Mr. Stewart could pro­ cure by a much longer canvas; that Mi. Adams petit ion bore the names of nearly two-tlrrds of the business men of Marengo; that Mr. Adams also had tlatteiiug letters of recommendation from prominent citizens of Mcllenry county, entirely outside of Marengo, including every one of the County offi­ cials. In t lrs state of affairs what could Mr. Sherw iu justly do except appoint Mr. Adams? ft was plain)) ' Ins duty to do so as every fair uilnded mail must say. notwithstanding the sulphurous vaporing* vf tlie Elgin Ad- vocate. The people will vindicate Mr. Sfficrwin In his course. He Ins done exactly right un.fertbe elrcuinstances, and this end of the District wilt back him up so far us thai is. concerned.-- We only echo the sentiuientsrof a host in McIIcury county wlteu we say we hope to see J . Q. Adams Postmaster of Marengo. Basineats Notice** CORN IS KING. CORN is KING. CORN is KING Reed's Gilt Edge To*!. rest«#M tb# appetite. 'rite Mo line <«»«%? Flow at |K. JK Owen's.
