OWING we presume to the mild Weather, the hens are "shelling out" th$ eggs at an unusual rate, and the consequence is that the market is over­ stocked, and the price down to fifteen cents per dozen.

We do not pretend to Compete with those fifteen cent "chcap John's" who advertjse from t"ie cities, but give you good work and a card that you are not ashamed to show a* friend. Call and see samples. ' HERE home mechanics, patronize hotne merchants, build «m> home inter­ ests, patronize the printers, and all will be well with you, and that' chronic ail­ ment "hard titoes" will trouble you no mote. Mellenry has as liber*! and en­ terprising business men as cart be found In the State, and there is no excuse for going outside for anything you may need. IT is said that during leap year the girl who counts all the gray horses she sees, until she has got up to a hundred, will be married within a year, to the first gentleman with whom she shakes hands after counting the one hundredth horse. It is also hinted that a number of young ladies in McHeury are busily engaged counting gray horses; there­ fore, timid young men, who have fears that matrimonial bliss might prove a blister, had better be on their guard. Messrs. ROGERS A SEYMOUR,' the Feather Bed Renovators, are still in town, and doing a good business, but intend to remain but a few days more, when they will remove to Wauconda, consequently those who wish to avail themselves of this opportunity to get their beds innovated should do so at once. We speak from actual knowl­ edge when we say their process nearly doubles the size of the bed. and makes the feathers as lively and fresh as when new. If you have an old feather bed you should leave it at their place of business for a few boors, before they go. THE collection tor the Centennial *(|8 taken up at the Brick School House in this village, on Fridajr last, and re­ sulted in receiving, from Teachers and Scholars, the sum of $5,30, Should every school in the county do as well in proportion to their uumber, the sum of two hundred dollars could be easily raised. gOCIABLK THURSDAY KVEXING. The Ladies of the Universalist So­ ciety will hold a sociable at the resi­ dence of D. S. Smith, in this village on Thursday, (to-morrbw) evening, to which all, regardless of religious opin­ ions, sex or nationality,1 are cordially invited. The above is a move in the right direction. That the people of McHenry Bring ' are lacking sociability is a fact be­ yond dispute. We want Xo see more, seciahility^ among friends and neigh­ bors. The American people are too apt to shut themselves :up, within them­ selves, as it were, aud think that be­ cause they do not all happen tin belong totJie same chureh.an occasional soeial gltnering together is out of the ques­ tion. This is all wrong. Let us meet together on Thursday evening and in­ augurate a series of Sociables that ear not fail of being pleasant, besides being highly beneficial in a social point of view. ANT "persons having copies of the IftbAiNDEALER of the following dates, or any of them, will receive five cents per copy besides confering a great favor on us, by sending them to this office,.

This 1s much better than none at all, and bet- iter than could reasonably have been expected, considering the weather so far, this winter. Who says we \\ro;.'t have something to cool our water with nextjTuly ? OWING to the horrid condition of the roads-wood is scarce in this market, ant) one feels himself lucky if he gets enough do scrimp along wi th. In con-, *aequejioe the girls are obliged to dis­ miss their beads early, as it won't do to'kelp fires late these times. It is to be hoped that the roads will get in a condition soon, that our citizens may be able to get .their summers supply of wood. W. W. ELLSWORTH, of Woodstock, breeder of the Magie itog, lc without doubt entitled to the belt on large hogs, lie sold a few days ago to J. Eckert, of that, place, four fat hogs for the sum of $145.60, Weight 2120 pounds. Aver­ age B30 pounds. Heaviest hog 640 pounds, Two of them were sows that were farrowed August 28th. 1874, and hadsuccled pigs late in summer of 1875. Mr. Ellswortlfdoes not boast of the weight so much as the fine form and feeding qualities, as all fed on grass the most of the summer, and two until October 1st. Mr. Ellsworth also shipped a sow last week to Monroe, Wis,, farrowed May 22d, that weighed in fair breeding condition, with cage, 318 pounds, for which he received $40. Also one boar, four months old to Mr, Keys, Palatine, Cook County, price $20, and five late pigs to a gentleman in Wisconsin. r TH* second of the series of Clntf Parties by the McHenry Social Chib, will be held at the Parker House on Friday evenhig of this week. Feb. 4th, and an unusual good time is anticipa­ ted. These, parties promise to become the most popular of any ever held in McHenry, and the managers are sparing no pains to make it pleasant for all who attend. Come out on Friday evening and have a good time. Tickets only 75 cents. FOR sudden change* thp weath«r In thissection beats the world Oil Friday morning last it rained and ar 2 o'clock it cleared off. the thermometer ranging at 62 degrees above zero. The next, morning at 7 o'clock there was a slight change, the thermometer having gone down to zero wit h a West wind blowing strong enough to take the hair off a dog. The little matter of 62 degrees difference in less than Heventeen hours is putting the thing on a little too -.thick for linen coats, at all events. ^ WE learn that a new Cabinet Shop has been started in Wiedemann's Building, near^the Depot, by John Shoen.lately from the old eountry, who is said to be one of the finest workmen in thif line to be found in the Norlli-j west. We were shown some tables j made by him, which for style of work- *4 manship and finish would be hard to beat. Persons wanting anything in this-Jine should not fail to call at his shop and inspect his work. All work ordered of him will receive prompt attention. j IT is a fact that persons frequently gofromhomeat the expense of time and money to procure what ean be had at less price in their own town or vil­ lage. IN some Instances this can be ac­ counted for on the ground of a want of proper information, and in other cases the cause must be sought in the old ad­ age* "Distance lends enchantmeut." The enchantment of the distant School brings to its embrace the daughter of our citizens, but when the so-called ed­ ucation 'is-finished they discover that they could have given their daughter a better education at kom% for less money. Some persons will travel four miles to hear a stranger preach the gospel, and go into ec-staeies over the sermon, while better sermons are preached every Sabbath within five minutes walk of their own home, but which they never take the trouble to hear;--"Distance lends enchantment." Others will drive six miles through the •mud,-snow and rain, in case of great danger, for a physician, and thus give the sick man plenty or time to die, while there is just as skilful a physician next door to the dying, but he cannot be called because there is no distance to throw enchantmeut around him* * * We knew a lady who. under this spell, went all the way to the Metropolis of her State to buy a new bonnet, and she got n pretty tiny one, of course; but •then siie caught the small pox in the restaurant where she took her dinner, and she confessed afterwards that it did not pay. A small bonnet was a poor compc isation for the small pox The lesson is: *Prtronize home imtitur lions, take your village paper, hear your village preacher, p:ry your village doetor. and school your children under jour own eye. ..."

' , DURING the heavy wind on Saturday morning last, the residence of Wm, Mndgett, four miles Southeast of this village, was totally destroyed by fire, together with all his household furni­ ture. clothing, Ac., The house was a very large and substantial farm house; composed of an upright and two wings. The upright and one wing was used by Mr. Mudgett's family, while the other wing was occiipird by Horace Burton, who worked the farm. The fire caught in the West end of the main upright part, near the Chimney. Mr. Burton was at the barn when he discovered the smoke, and running to the house found that the fire had made considera­ ble headway in the attic. He went immediately to work to extinguish it, aud partially succeeded, but the fire burning through to the outside of the roof, was taken by the wind and soon ail hopes of saving it was goue. John Kimball, who was staying with Mr. Burton over night, and Mr. Mudgett's father, an Old gentleman 76 years old, was all the help there Was at hand. (Mr. Mudgett himself being away from home.) Mr. Burton went from the attic, to the roof of the house, and says that he is confident that if he had had help enough he could then have saved the house. While on the roof he met with a Very narrow escape from instant?" death. He was carrying two pails of water when he slipped and fell head­ foremost over the ridge, and ouly saved himself from going oft by catch­ ing with his toes on the ridge, and had but just regained his feet and got down before the whole roof fell in. The men were then obliged to turn their attention to saving the barns and hay stacks, while the women took care of the children, who were almost naked having been taken from bed after the fire was discovered; Consequently nothing in the house was saved, furni­ ture, clothing and everything being totally destroyed. It.was only by a miracle that the barn and hay stacks were saved. Mr. Mudgett's loss is es­ timated at $3,500. Insured for $1,500. Mr. Burton loses his entire household furniture, clothing, and in short every­ thing he had, atidis not insured for a dollar. He estimates iiis loss at $400. Old Mr. Mudgett froze his hands and feet badly, and is feared that he may lose his fingers in consequence. Con­ sidering the weather it is a wonder that the children had not perished. It certainly was a fearful morning to turn a family out of doors, and only par­ tially dressed at thai. SPELLING.

He moved from New York to the state of Illinois and thence to Geneva Lake, Wisconsin. On account of his failing health he came to Riverside, Calafornia, in July 1872, where he remained until his death. He was a member of the Baptist Church and died !n hope. He conversed freely the evening be­ fore his death, though his disease (consumption) had taken a permanent hold on him, yet no one expected his death so soon. The Masonic Fraternity conducted the funeral servioes. As a citizen and Christian gentlemen, Mr, Neweomb was highly respected by all who knew him F. D. BOVARD.
