COMMITTEE. Richmond Department. OOWTKIBCTID BT 3. f. BENNETT. WE learn of a sad and fatal accldent which happened on the farm of Burton Wright, on t'ie Woodstock road, on Saturday last. Elmer Willis, who was assisting the carpenters to place shin­ gles on the roof, preparatory to shin­ gling a new barn, while 24 feet from the ground, lost Ills balance and fell backwards from the building. He only revived from the shock enough to say he was badly hurt in the stomach, and suffering for about four hours died. Tho funeral was held on Sunday at 3 o'clock, from the resldene of Mr. Wright, Rev. Mr., Jaycox, of Green­ wood, officiating, and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and sym­ pathetic friends. Elmer was a son of W. N.

Buss, Agpnu "Who lives to Nature, rarely can be'fwor. Who live% to fancy, never can be rich." There is a pleasure in the pathless woods; There is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society where none intrudes, By the deep Sea; and music in its roar." EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--The fore­ going lines may or may not have come into the mind of the Rev. S. C . Hay as the nucleus arouud which his thoughts clustered while delivering his im­ promptu address to the students at the closing exercises at "Todd's Seminary" on Friday last, but certain it is, that "Great Nature"' and lie greater Author were the inspirations prompting his every utterance. And the boys, for such they were in age, though In de­ portment manly to perfection, will not forget his emotional appeal that they pursue their studies with the expansive book of Nature ever before them. His happy allusion to squirrel*, real, not imaginary, perched among the branches or leaping from tree to tree, overhead, to the crows that strutted around with responsive caws in approval of the manner their young mabters performed their part; his reference to the lawn, so tastefully mingling nature and cul­ ture , to the arbor so picturesquely ar­ ranged and ornamented with natur* and art combined, his congratulatory remarks to parents, pupils and teachers, Ills final appeal carrying his audience from Nature up to Nature's God, ia a picture not easily eradicated. "Todd's Seminary for boys" is a fix­ ture, both ornamental and useful. Lo­ cated as it is, in the suburbs of Wood­ stock, on the line of the Chicago and Northwestern railway, fifty-one miles northwest from Chicago, a point easy of access, noted for its freedom from epidemics or miasmatie diseases, foun­ ded, owned and conducted by the Rev. R. K. Todd, D. D., aided by the ability energy and advice of his accomplished wife; patronized as It is by the fami­ lies of nearly every profession and in­ dustry inclined to study and Improve­ ment, it's worthy of an endowment sulHcient to enable the venerable foun­ ders, Mr. and Mrs. Todd, to hav* their names placed upon the retired lUt. Not that their usefulness is waning, or their energy aud zeal growing less, but that by overcoming almost insurmount­ able obstacles they have earned and merited a "snug elbow chair" In which to recline and rest from labors. But to close my article I send programme, which was filled to the letter, with the the addition of a psycologlc aud physi­ cal entertainment by little Ml«s Lu!n Bolton, of Chicago, which was greeted with appreciative approval by the audience. T'ie boys, without excep­ tion, (fTfl thernsalves and teachers rionor, and more than once carried their listening patents and friends back to the "merry days when they were young" aud aroused emotions not easi­ ly concealed. Nor were the helps, those indispensable attachments to such oc­ casions, wanting in decorum and atten­ tion. Like clock work, In apt time, without interruption, the lemonade was passed, and at the close the cake, strawbeiries and ice .-ream and social greetings were enjoyed, and were a fitting close of a very pleasant after­ noon's exercises. I will add that in debate I think the boys inust have chosen the Illinois Legislature as a model, though 1 must say that Chair­ man La Parle- out-Halnesed Haines in his ruling9, [The Programme spoken of above !» so lenprthy it is unavoid ab j crowded out-- iOdilor.] Buy your n*w su!

The play of "Esmeralda," by Richmond amateurs, was greeted by a targe and appre­ ciative audience at Couhnan's Opera House last Saturday evening. AH things considered the Company did very creditably indeed. All were new to the stage, anless, perhaps, Miss Potter, who took the leading rote of "Esmer­ alda," but displayed less of the awkwardness common to beginners, thar. usual, tn the character of "Old Man Rogers," George Shib- ley left lit.le to be desired, and the same may toe said of Miss Potter's characterisation of the heroine of the play, Esmeralda. As will always happen, some of the playera foiled at almost the last moment, and their parts had to be taken by others, which gave too little time tor committing or rehear ling the parts, so that a book had to be used on the stage, a ciicumstance which alwavs detracts from the realism of a play. With ample time for re* hearsal, and the change of one or two charac­ ters, and the Richmond Dramatic Club will be tble to produce Esmeralda li'a manner to satisfy the most exaoting critic. As it was, the universal verdict is that all concerned did admirably, uuder the circumstances, and that Mrs. Haythorn bad shown good capabili­ ties as a manager. It would please our peo. pie to have the entertainment repeated at a future date, and we hope such an arrange, ment may be made. Awhile ago a follow with an unpronounce­ able name, which we cannot recall, (may be it was assumed) canvassed Richmond for the sale of roses, strawberry plants, trees, and various choice flowers. He was a scalawag and cheat, and this is to warn everybody to beware of hLu in tbe future. He claimed to represent "J. H. Sulser A Co., Rose Growers, Milwaukee, Wis." He viotimlced various parties in town, by selling one thing and de- llvering another. Before tho plants eame, each subscriber received a postal card on which appears the name of the firm above mentioned, notifying that the goods would be delivered on a certain day. The agent had with him a book with beautiful plates pur­ porting to show what flowers and fruits he was selling. Among other things he claimed to have a florlcultural wonder in the shape of a "presn rose." Among five dollars worth of stuff we bought of him was one of these green roses, and when it blossomed it proved to be a very ordinary what rote. He also had the picture of a plant called the "Weeping U," represented as growing after the habit of a weeping willow, and producing rose-like flowers. This proved to be a little rose bush which has not yet blossomed at all. He plso •old a new strawberry which he claimed pro­ duced no runners and Increased only by stool- ing so that the patch would never become crowded by new plants from runners, as with ordinary yines. P.G. Skinkle paid $3.o0 for fifty ef those plants and set them out when delivered, with groat care, in April. To-day we saw these"runnerless" vines growing and a good share of their energy is being expend, ed in producing good, long, vigorous runners. Mrs, Ella Chevillon, whose postal notification is now in our possession, bought three dollars worth of plants of him, ami she informs us tbu not one thing received is what the agent represented it to be. Miss Hannah Cotting informs us she was swindled In the same way There are plenty more people in town simil- iarly cheated. ffe do not know anything about the reputation of J. H. Sulser ft Co They may be all right, and this fellow may have palmed hliatelf off as their agent, when he was not. If so, it is high time they were after him, to save their own good name and trade. Since :ommenclng to write this ex­ pose, we hear of the ease of Mrs. Geo. Rowe, who bought some plants of the same fellow. Soon after he left they began to wither. On examination they were found to be nothing but slips without a root on them. W. Bogart bought some of the strawberry plants, and they are producing a nice crop of runners. He sold Landlord Culver a bill of four dollars against a man, which pioved worthless. We have examine! the Richmond House Register and find that tbe scamp was too smart to register his name, but Mr. Culver says he remembers distinctly that he called himself "Mulnieux," (pronounced "Mulno"). Who­ ever he is or whatever his name, be is a sharper of the first water, a swindler and oheat, and we take full responsibility of pub­ lishing him as such and of warning all parties against nim.

Gard has been cleaning up the post- office the past week--getting ready for his Democratic successor. pr«*scm- ably.--Democrat of lout week.

M. will be asked to lick stamps from tho patrons of the office. The editor of the Sentinel offers to lend his scythe te even the publisher of the' Democrat. We can say this much to John, If he would like to bor­ row or has need to, that "Gards" scythe Is well hung, for we have observed it hanging on the limb of a tree ijear the editors house all summer, and If our memeryOgerves us right, and we think it does, that same scythe hung there all last winter and spring and must he in fine condition for cutting dewo weeds.
