' Jit- }V E acknowledge the receipt, through the gentlemanly Secretary, C. C. Jones, of a complimentary to the Thirty-Third Annual Exposition of the Winnebago County Agricultural Society, which is to he held at Rock- ford September 5tb, Sth, 7th, 8th and 9th. This is acknowledged to be one of the best Fairs in the State, and is yearly attended by immense crowds of both exhibitors and visitors. Their attractions this year are bigger than ever. When you are fixing your pro­ gramme for Fairs, be sure and bear the Rockford in mind. Yr THE "Devil" has recently submitted a poem to the Atchison Globe for pub­ lication. and from it we make the following extract: "I stand at the gates of a smouldering land, and I bask in its sulphurous glow, and I beckon the spjrlt with welcoming hand, to this region of torture below. The young and the old and the rich and the poor, who liye in the places of sin, I beckon and welcome them into my door--I gather, I gather, I gather them in. The chump who deserts the town of his birth to boom up a place far away, who'd never invest in his own city's earth, for fear that the move wouldn't pay; who groaned of the evils that held down his town, and never would squander his tin, as sure as I'm living he's wandering down--I'll gather. Til gather, I'll him In. The woman who sits near the frunt at the play, with a bonnet as big as a door, will come to these regions at some future day aud never go out any mere; to thousauds of people, lor dozens of years, a nuisance and bore Bhe das been, and I'll pile on the* brimstone and laugh at her fears--I'll gather, I'll gather, I'll gather her in." Death of Josoph Lawrence. The death of Joseph Lawrence, which we briefly announced last week, deserves more than a passing notice. He had worked for the McHenry Brick Company every season since they started business tn this village, and was a reliable hard-working man. For the past year or two his health has been poor, and his friend* had urged him time and again to seek some eas­ ier employment, but be had as oiten replied. "I will come out all right, and if I don't ril die in the harness," And really he did. He went to work on Tuesday morning as usual, his business being lifting molds. Between eight and nine O'clock he complained of fool­ ing bad and asked them to stop the machine for a few minutes, which they promptly did. He then sat down for a moment, and being apparently both­ ered for breath, arose and walked up on the yard, aod It was here that he appeared to realize that his time had come, and turning around he said, "Good-bye, boys," sank down and In a few minutes breathed his Isst. "Joe" was a whole-souled follow, and liked by all with whom no came in contact. As an evidence of the es­ teem la which he was held by his fel­ low workmen, a subscription was started Immediately after his death, and every man upon tho yard sub­ scribed. and with some given outside, raised enough to pay all hts funeral expenses and had a handsome little sum left which was given to his family. His funeral was held from the Catholic church on Wednesday afternoon and was largely attended. ON Friday evening August 19th, the 100th performance of the Arabian Nights will be given at the Chicago Opera House. The affair will be cele­ brated with appropriate rejoicings The phenomenal success of this most brilliant stage representation Is still the topic of conversation not only of theatre-goers In chicago but of those who are interested in theatrical mat­ ters throughout the oountry. Every night the house Is filled with delight­ ed spectators, and it Is apparent that the Arabian Nights could draw profit­ able audiences for a yevr to come. In conformity with the policy of the management of the Opera Honse, bow- ever, it has been decided to efleot a radical change In the Arabian Nights. On Sunday night, the 21st Inst., the third edition will be presented. An entirely new libretto Is in preparation by Mr. Wnau^|M^^r4LilJl is one of the most burlesque cem- mecliai^pPxJramatic authors In this counti^rHe wrote "Adonis," and his work with the late Sam Colville Is well known.

A new ballet entitled The Tambourine Dance will be introduced and new solos will be danced by the premieres.

DIED.--In Greenwood, 111., July 17, 1887, Maggie Bolger, daughter of Thomas Bolger, aged 21 years. Whisper, ye breezes that blow through the valley, And tell to the wild flowers that grow on each stem, That one who had loved them, has left them forever; Go whisper the death of a dear one to them, Fair as the lily that grows in its splendor, The glory and pride of the flowers of the dale, Its meek, lowly nature so pure and so tender, Its sweet summer beauty aderning the vale, Playmates and friends from the days ef her childhood, Who saw the bright hopes that illumined her way, Look back to the past with a sorrowful yearn­ ing, For days that are new gone forever away. Loved ones will call at that home now so lonely- Suppressing their tears, while ito grief reconciled-- And try to encourage, to soothe and to com­ fort A sorrowful mother who weeps fer her child. Angels will watch o'er the grave where she's sleeping. And guard it with care as they whisper her praise, While the zephyrs of evening will pause on their journey, To find her at rest through the long sum­ mer dayi. While calmly she sleeps in the grave-yard so silent, She will live ia the memory of all she had known. Till the last sumnons calling in rapture will bring them. To share the bright home where her spirit has flown. A FBIBND. FOR SALE.

EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--The Harvest Festival of Queen Ann, has become a fixed fact and stands forth a3 a recog­ nized organization by the people of McHenry county to an extent that en­ titles it to a broader significance than Its name indicates. Nevertheless the hundreds, and I might say thousands who annually gather in the beautiful gro?e on the farm of Burton Wright, Esq., owe it to the farmers and farm­ ers' wives of Queen Aun Prairie, that the festivities, whether eoclal, literary or physical, are of such exalted, varied and enjoyable a character,* This year tho excessive heat and drought had been so intense and severe, many ex­ pressed a doubt if it might not be a failure. But the work of preparation went on. The co umodious stands, the seats and tables were placed spite of Mercury at one hundred In the 6hade, As on the evening of Wednesday the work of preparation of the groundc was about to be completed, ominous clouds put in an appearance which gladdened the hearts of the "willing workers" and on Thursday morning, qot only the face of Nature was changed by the bountiful showers of the night, but the races of the little world about us were bright with joy that at last the rain had come. It may well be doubted if"*a more gratful people ever assembled for a pleasure feast than met on those festive grounds on the 11 tb Inst. The literary and musical exercises deserve high encom­ iums, nor did the aulience fail to ap­ preciate this part of the entertain­ ment. But when matron and maid arranged the tables, loaded down with "goodie goodies" and Invited "those within and those without the gates to coaie to the feast."--O my! It just beggars description how they did eat and bow they did partake of the viands spread out before them, and when they had eaten their fill and still beheld the baskets tilled, they cauld not cry for more but wept that they could not eat it all. The reader^ will understand that "wept" has a flgura live, not a literal meaning as used here. Thanks to Dr. Hart and his good wife, and about a dozen others your correspondent made out a hearty meal. The second edition of the Bull Val­ ley riots was tried before Justice Thomas on Friday.
