The Fourth in Mellonry. /The ci'leliration it; McHenry on Frl- lixr last, was. not withstanding the shortness of the notice, a success iu every particular. The lieavv rains of the niglit Iwjlore. -and the consequent threatening weather of the entire fore* noon of the 4th. no doubt kept many away who otherwise would have heeii here, but nevertheless there was a large crowd, the beautiful grove the Driving Park, where the celebration was held, being packed almost the en­ tire day.and all seemed to enjoy them- selves,in the best of manner.] ^ The exercises were-opened about II oViock hy music by the Band, followed hy soinfe excellent singing liy the Glee Club, prayer by the Rev. Mr. Sear?, Reading of the Declaration of Inde­ pendence by Dr. II. T. Brown, after which Judge B. N. Smith, of Wood­ stock, the Orator of the Day. was in­ troduced. Time or space will not permit its to give even a-synopsis of his address, but suffice to say It was clear, logical and patriotic, and was closely listened to and highly spoken of by all present. He was followed by the Hon. Richard Bishop In a few well timed remarks, after which the exer­ cises at the stand closed and\the Picnic dinner came next In order. ^ 'The Trotting, and iftase Ball Games, swhicli were advertised.'came off iu their order, although the rains had made the new track so heavy that not much interest was taken In that direc­ tion.

One hundred and two uumhe s were sold, and everything passed o(t n the most quiet and orderly mimi< r.

T ' / A game of Base Ball was played tn fthis village on the 4th, between the Lake View Unions, of Chicago, and a Picked Nine, from this village, and proved a very interesting, and under the circumstances, a well played game. The Picked Nine had not played a game before this year, and some of them net for two or three yesrs, while their opponents were not only good Ball tossers but In perfect practice. Our boys went to work, however, with a wlH and at the close the score stood 17 to 14 In favor of the Lake View Unions. The visiting Club were all yoiing men net over 20 years of age^ and were not only good Ball players but gentlemen In every sense of the word, and our boys are unanimous iu their praise of them. We hope tlioy may see At to visit McHenry again at sofne. /uw»re-time»3 ^Another game was played In the forenoon between the East and West sides, which was won by the East side by a score of 39 to 16.

It litis been a long time since I told you anything about the Sntithwortiigleuiionoldwiirhorse Ring combination that have their headquar­ ters at Woodstock. What shall we talk about this evening? 1 was reading in the papers the other day about a man over at Woodstock that wants to hold office for life. Do you know anything about It? Yes, my boy. I do. 4 ^ What kind of a man is hif @1^ He Is a very good and efficient officer, my son, but he has held the office lie wants for life for nearly eight years. This man, then, must have been for Gen. Grant when he run for President the Inst time, for he wanted to be President for another term after he had held the office eight years, didn't he? Yes, my hepefttl. but the man we are talking about was solid against the General at that time, and labored bard tb carry this county against him. Well, the man over at Woodstock must have lots of "gall" to war.t office for life after doing that. Yes, my boy, but this time It is self, ar»d he claims lie is "In the hands of Ids friends." who demand that lie forget the past and claim that there is no oilier inan in the connty^that can do the business connected with the office but h|in. They must think he is going to live forever. What will the people do for a man to do this business when the man at Woodstock has climbed the "golden stair?" Ask me something easier, my child; but I suppose the office will then have to be abolished. 1 was reading a piece In the paper edited by that man over at Woodstock that cannot eveu write an estray notice,'* that some one up at Ringwood wrote about the man that wants office for lite. Do you know who it was that wrote the piece, or have you seen It? Yes. iny hope fill. I read it, and from what I knew of the good sense and the eapahility of the good people up at Ringwood, I should conclude that there was but one man In that vicinity who could write such a weak and foolish piece as that is; and as ft Is well kuown that the "satchel" has not been there yet, it must have been written some other place, ami several persons whom have heard mention it tiii.ik it was written where another piece similar to it was, which appeared in the paper edited by the man that has net yet learned to write even an eat ray notice, some weeks ago. Where was thai ? Well, my son, if- Is supposed rlght near or In the court home over at Woodstock, Well, It wi«s a real walling piece and Oti£ht to ton jh l he hearts or the people that read it. Does the man over at Woodstock, that wants otlh-n for life, ami his friends there say why he ought to have the otlk-e again? Only that he is the only man that Is .able to rlo the business, my son. WELL, that must tswikn the other men at Woodstock that always want all the offices feel proud of themselves. l>o you know anything about the other man that wonld like the otiler ? I mean the one that lives at Xuuda, Yes. my boy, 1 know him weRi What kind of a man la lie? I see by a card In the papaft all the people at Nunda want him. He is a good man. my child, and is honored and respected by all who know him. Is he able lt |o the business If he gets there? Perfectly able, my son, and the man over at Woodstock that wants the office for life knows It, as does his friends there, which Is the reason they dare say nothing directly against the man at Nunda, and "his capability to per­ form the duties of the office. I heard someone say that the man at Nunda was a soldier and was in some rebel prison. Was the man over at Woodstock, that wants the office fer life, a soldier? 1 have heard, iny boy, that bo was in the army for a very few months, that lie never was engaged in a battle, never carried a musket, and only pla.ved in a brass hand at the outbreak-of the war, when it was soon found that so much music was of no earthly use and Ills band was musterod out #f the service, and when he came home from the army he did not run on the same ticket for the office he wants now, neither did he vote it. Did you say the man at Kunda went into the ariry ? Yes, iny child, he enlisted when he was a little older than you are, and served almost four years in actual war. He belonged to cue of the best fighting regiments that went from the State of Iowa, and was in several of the hardest fought battles if the whole war, in one of which l«e was wounded and In an­ other was captured with hundreds of his comrades and languished In Bell Isle, Anderson vllle, and other Southern prison pens for over s year. It seems to me the people will not and ought not to go back bo that kind of a man and soldier. It would seem so, my son, but the people have heretofore had but little to do or say about.such matters. A few political wire-pullers, who make a good living. It is supposed, in this way (for they have no other visible means of support) and who reside principally at Woodstock, have managed these mat­ ters; but It looks now ai if the real honest voters of the entire county were about to lake this matter into their own hands, as they did last spring when they laid out ••The General" of tne Elinlra invalid corps, who also lives over there at Woodstock, Is ibe mau oyer at Woodstock, th»t wants to hold ottoe for life, poor, sod does he need the office? Not desperately so, my son, for he hullt a residence last year that cost him without^ the grounds nearly six thousand dollars, and We heard some men say who build houses, and live over at Woodstock, that he hired all the work done on his W« house from Chicago, and left every one of the workmen out in the cold that live in the county, as far as giving them a days work was concerned. I should think these men would think Chicago ought to elect him to office from this out. je It would seem so, my boy. Is that all the property he has? Not by any meons, my hopeful, for lie owns another nice house, a brick block, horses of much value, and is a money luaner. besides. I should think this man was what they call a millionaire, Tliat*s about the size of lt,'my son. Does he hsve any other business? Nene to speak ot, my boy. He is simply Interested In the ownership of the abstract booics, which he does not deny brings him about three thousand dollars a year. He makes a specialty of writing up deeds, mortgages, or any legal papers. Mid dees more in this line than all the lawyers iu Woodstock com. bined. Insures property against loss by fire, lightning, tornadoes, cyclones, hurricanes anil wind storms, and does more in the sale of real estate than all other dealers in the county together. Is that all? Weil, I should think the man that wants office for life, who lives over at Woodstock, and his rrlet.ds there, have lots of "gall" to ask fer this office; and I heard several people say that were talking about It yesterday that they would think more of liim if would come to the front and say: "I don't want the office any longer; let that old soldier and Andersonvllle pris oner have the office as long as I have held It." Yes, my son. that would be right and just. But yon know he claims he Is In the hands of "lils frends," and those friends are the few men who live over at Woodstock, whe claim, and generally have managed to hold about all the offices the county is entitled to, and he is their candidate, and is obliged to offer himself up as a sacilllce to fur- ther their future political Interests. At heart he does not like the canvas, and openly says ho "has no xeal good reasons to ask for the place for life," and were It not for mlf Interest and those men at his hack he would not have been a candidate.

Moral--Peg ahead anyway.'* THE FIRST OP THE SKASOS.-On Satur­ day last he visited us-- he came as usual hard up, wear worn, and his face beam ing with-.sun-burn. He had traveled from New Orleans direct--came all the way on foot, that was why ills toes protruded from their eowdiide casings. He reported work slack in every town; no "chance for a job." Iu fact, an un­ precedented"run of hard luck." His "case" was empty; his clothes were in spl;" and to use liis own expression, he was "out of sorts." If we couid only give him a few "quoins" and help his "inner form" to a "lake of fat" he would depart In peace. We couldn't re fu§e--years ago we had known him in better circumstances, an honored member of the craft, although located at different points of the compass. Of course lie succeeded in again getting his "stick" full, "locked up his form," and "distributed" himself to the next town. Who was het asks our readers. Well, he was a "dead-broke tramp Printer." We sell a 40 cent wheel fan for 10 ccuts. BOXSLETT STUFPEL, We spent the 4th at Caprin, where ve found as good a set of people as there Is tit the world. We could write a column or two about Capron and its good people, but time*forbids. Those of our people who did not wish to stay at home, spent the 4th in vari­ ous places. Some went to Hebron, to Lake Geneva, McHenry, Nunda, Wil- mot. Powers' Lake, etc. Most of our dancing young people went to McHenry in the evening. At the late concert given by the Euterpean Quartette, of Elgin, under the auspices of the Richmond Cornet Band, the Wilmot Cornet Band played two numbers, which were received with applause. "The boys" were dressed in a spic and span new uniform, which made every one of them look more gorgeous than a brigadier general. We hope our band will be uniformed before long. The Wilmot boys play like veterans, and deserve the thanks of out people for the fine music they gave us. A pleasant social event occurred at the residence of Robt. Johonnott, Esq. on Wednesday evening, July 2d. it be­ ing the wedding of William H. Berger. Superintendent of the State Farm at the Elgin Insane Asylum, and Miss Gertrude C. Johonnott, daughter of Roberfiiud Fanny Johonnott. of Rich­ mond. Elaborate preparations iiad been made for t'ie event, and when the company of friends ancl relatives as­ sembled, to the number of about 70, they found the house decorated with a profusion of flowers and other artistic decorations. The happy couple were married under a beautiful canopy of flowers bearing tlie name of "Berger." The Rev. Charles Frazer, of the Con­ gregational church, performed the marriage service. The relatives of tlie Johonnott and Berger family were ifhmerously represented at the wed­ ding. After the marriage tile large company sat down to a supper which no words of praise could dormice to. It was elaborate in all Its details. Mr. and Mrs. Berger went to their home in Elgin on Tuesday, the 8th inst., whither follow tlietn the. good wishes of a thousand friends. The position Mr. Berger now occu­ pies speaks well for his character as a man to be entrusted with important affairs. SlionSd lie wish to resign Ids present position, a fine farm awaits lii.-n In Richmond. The bride has for a long time been deservedly popular as one of the teachers in our public school and her resignation from that position was received with regret by the direc­ tors uf tlie district.
