Tbe French admiral gave orders that no quarter be given inek, women or chil­ dren, and three hundred people who bad taken refuge in the Bay of Thuan were slaughtered, as well as half as many mere who were drifting about in tbe bay in a Junk.

CHICAGO, Nov. 7th, IMS, J 115 Oesrbortt street, Room 9 \ Comrades oftMcIlenry County: Nearly a score of years baa passed since we laid aside the garbwf the'sol­ dier, and assumed that of citizens; and although our numbcrsjhaye largely'de- creased, it is felt that there should be no delay In a thorough organization of Union Veterans for political purposes. Our army life gave us a taste for the excitement of an active contest, and we hare felt it our duty to preserve by the ballot that which was won by the bayonet. As next "year the presidential and other national and important State elections take place, it is thought now is the time to efiect a thorough organ* izatinn of veterans #htcl^\ahall exert an influence in assisting to secure a wise, honest, economical government and the election(of officials of integrity and ability, who seek only the best In­ terests of our country. As all organiza­ tions must emanate from one centre, I have been commissioned by the Chica­ go Union Veteran Club to effect an organization in every township and ^onnty in the State, or Until such time as there are sufficient counties organ­ ized »o sanction a State Veteran Asso* elation. The design Is, to have the organizations as universal, as simple and economical as possible. In order to secure a roster of every union veter­ an In each township, which taken to­ gether will form the county club or organization, a recruiting officer will be commissioned for each township upon receipt of request for such ap­ pointment, signed by at least five vet­ erans. residents of the township, and upon the approval of the recruiting officer for the county, provided such officer has been appointed. Upon the request of at least ten nnloti veterans, a recruiting officer for the county will be commissioned, or for a certain di­ vision of the county, should it be deemed advisable to form two or more clubs in the county, said recruiting offi­ cer to reside at some central point of the county or division of laid county. The recruiting officers will be furnished with enrollment blauks for the signa­ ture, residence, company,and regiment and rank in same at date ef discharge, of all veterans in the township and the county; also,sampl<fcopy of constitu­ tion and by-laws, instructions for or­ ganization, etc. Said enrollment blanks to read as follows: "The undersigned, ex-soldiers and sailors wbe were honorably discharged from the service of the United States of America, and who served under the union flag during the late war el the rebellion, would most respectfully ask that a charter be granted for the estab­ lishment of a clnb at Some think those who stayed away from Murphy's Hall Tuesday night were more the fools than "Fools" in Murphy's itall on the same night.

The village was surprised to hear, on Friday evening, that Mr, Kennedy had resigned his position as teacher in the school. We hear that this is due to a misunderstanding between the direc­ tors and himself concerning the amount ef his salary. The new teacher, Miss Norton, takes charge of the school Monday morning.

"Who is lie?" Nobody knew, but the next day while ^ the Ohio election, the big gentleman turned up again, and we loon discovered it was Reuben Ellwood #f Sycamore, 111., a very extensive Inanufacturer, and member of cengresb ; i|lect from that district.

TheiVft something luittUkc about It."v. "Objects: First, the upholding of the principles of the Republican party, based upon a paramount respect for, and fidelity to, the national Constitu­ tion and laws reserving the right, how ever, to act independently in all cases where the interest* of the Union Veter- vn Soldiers are involved: Secondly, the procuring of employment fordeserriug unemployed union veteran soldiers. Third, the cultivation and ^strengthen­ ing of the 6ocial ties which had their beginning in the common privations of the camp, the battle field auil prison pen." As soon as tbe enrollment It com­ plete for the township and county, a preliminary charter will be granted and the club organized by the selection of proper officers. ' This organization will be diflerent from any other organ­ ization of Union Veterans, as it !£ pri­ marily for political purposes. As the expense will not ekceed twenty-fiye cents to one dollar a year, it is iiiteifd ed, and cannot fall tore^cb the masses. All form and ceremony will be avoided as the clubs will hold open public meet ings for addresses upon and discussions of political questions, and to organize for work prior to the campaign. One primary advantage will be that a com1 plcte roster can and should be secured of all the union veterans In each town ship and couuty. This will enable the officers of the clubs and other political managers to communicate with every resident union veteran,even in iparsely settled districts, also let the comrades know who of their neighbors are also comrades, and in the case *of death of any comrade, to pay appropriate re spect at tlie burial service of the de ceased. Even should any of the com radei be identified with other political parties, there ought to be no opposi­ tion on their part to such an organize tion. as it is distinctly understood that the organization reserves tlie right to act independently In all cases wher** the interests of the union veteran eel dlera are involved. As aState Association will be farmed as soon as sufficient counties are organ­ ized to form a nucleus for such an asso­ ciation, and if any county is to organ ize, it is always desirable to be one of the charter members of a worthy organization; those counties which intend to organize should do so at once. Requests for commissions as recruit­ ing officers as above should be address ed to the undersigned. Room 0, 115 Dearborn Street. Chicago. I have the honor to be, comrades, Very respectfully your obedient Servant, n. S. VAIL, Chief organizing and Mustering Of­ ficer, Chicago Union Veteran Club. As the time approaches for the annnal meet­ ing of the McHenry County Agricultural Board, it behooves every citizen of the county especially every land holder, to look up his ticket and be ready and present to cast his vote for the election of officers for the ensu­ ing year who will not only make onr annual exposition a success in numbers, bat who will so manage the finances that the receipts shall count toward diminishing the indebtedness of the society. Our last two Fairs as expositions, as entertainments, as sources of profit to in­ dividual citizens of our connty have proved to be highly profitable, while the society has financially suffered. It is true many costly and much needed improvements have been made upon the grounds anil in that direction the society has gained, but this gain is over­ balanced by an increased indebtedness, It is a demonstrative fact that immediately after General Oglesby spoke of the wealth of our soil and of Its inferior price per acre as com­ pared with the old world, many verbal trades in real estate fell through or were only per­ fected at an advance of from five to ten dol­ lars per acre. And this should convince the farmers of McHenry Co. that it is not a local enterprise, but that it is general bounded only by the border lines of tho county.. I care not how many local Fairs are fceld, the more the better, so that they do not clash or detract from the County Fair, but are made as they should be,contributors to the general grand results. By means of these annual Fairs un­ der the auspices of the McHonry County Agri. cultural Board, we haveacquirod a standing as a county not only among the citizens of our own proud state and of the United States,'but our fame has tiaveled across the waters and is recognized'with Interest among tbe nntions of the old world. Then why should the bur. den of its maintainance rest upon the few when the masses are benelltod by it. I have been familiar with the management for nearly thirty years and whenever nn extra expense has,been required, a comparative few have been obliged to donate considerable sums. It seems strange after all that has been said and written to the contrary that the opinion should obtain that the society is a quasi joint stock company, and that the managers reap pro lit from receipts, when it Is far otherwise To my certain knowledge the managers, with the exception of a single officer tilt within the current year, have devoted their time and to a considerable extont their purse, without other reward than is realized in common by every citizen ot the county.

The proprietor of this celebrated medi­ cine justly olaims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the publio for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PER­ MANENT oure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standr ing. He refers to the entire Western and| Southern ooantry to hear him testimony to. the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fell to oure if the direo» tions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many oases a single dose hae heen sufficient for a oure, and whole fami­ lies have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, ana in every ease more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been checked, more espeoially in diffionlt and long-standing cases. Usa« ally thii medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four/ doses of the Tonio, a single dose of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be saf> Sclent.
