THOS. WHAI.EW, Who resides South of this village, had a horse taken sick under the sheds near the Mill, on Sun­ day last, and was obliged to drafo' him home on a sled oji Monday, with the prospect that he will die, The disease was called spinarmenengetis. Anoth­ er horse was attacked on the street on Monday, but the owner succeeded In getting him along after dosing him for an hotyr or two. With the present hor­ rid condition of the roads one cannot be too careful of the horse,* * . :-- -• THE biggest yield of Eggs we ever heard of has just come to our notice. Thos. Whitson, of Woodstock, has nine­ teen -Brown Leghorns and two Brahmas from which he received in seven weeks the following number of eggs: For the week ending .January 22d. 96 eggs. For the. week ending January 20th, 100 eggs. For the week ending Feb. 5 th,. 108. Feb. 12th, 112. Feb. 10th, 127. Feb. 26th, 118. \March 4th, 103, Making a total in seveik successive weeks of 764 Eggs, which makes an average of over 109 per wdek. We think this would be hard to beat.

They are printed upon the best of paper afid gotten up in the best of style. Read their notice elsewhere, and when in want of anything in the Blank lii^e be sure and give them a call.. ' < I» we are to celebrate the Fourth of July in MeHenry this year, is it not about time to begin talking it *uptf A meeting should be' called soon and vcominitteos of arrangements appoin­ ted. We cannot see anything to hinder the people of MeHenry from celebra­ ting the day at Jiome in as grand a manner as our neighboring cities and «wtnties. Think about it friends, and begin early to prepare. j. ON account of the horrid state of roads the Sociable at the residence ot Amos Whdting- which was to have been lield «a Thursday Evening last» was 'postyxoncd, and will be held at the same place on Thursday evening of this week, when it is hoped there will fee a general turnout.

Ay attempt at burglary took place ife&r the I>epbt on Sunday night last, the particulars of whifch, as we learn them are as follows : Casper Wirfs hearing a noise in the rear of his build­ ings between 11 aud 12 o'clock, got up and went out and saw a man standiug at the outside cellar door with a club in his hand. On the appearance of Mr Wirfs he dropped his club and made a hasty retreat. Another head immedi­ ately made its appearauce in the cellar way, when Mr. Wirfs slammed shut the: hatchway and sat down upon it, at the same time crying lustily for help. The caged rascal was not only strong but. desperate, and he lifted the door, Wirfs and all, and mkde his escape^ but iu the struggle Wirfs seized hi m by the top the head, but he slid out leaving ouly Uis.hat.iu his hand.

Every desired taste was gratified. After this bountiful colla­ tion,uiauy beautiful and appropriate presents were made to the bride and groom, and now John if you don't build the fires, fetch the wood aud rock the baby, you ought to be sent to the Black mil*.

Mr. Nickle says the arrangements are all complete, and success certain. Growers Hall will seat all that come. So all come and thus aid in represent­ ing our Coiumou School system.at the Centennial. The law office of M. F. Ellsworth was broken into,-by some unprincipled renegade on Tuesday eve ning,swhile he was at church. The office was badly demoralized but nothing of import­ ance taken. We should judge by the crowd we see in his office that wMot" has plenty to do. But when can we have that temperance lecture? Our merchants begin to look happy as trade revives.

We are not in the habit of running down Organs sold by other Agents, being satisfied to let our instrument speak for itself, but we are sorry to say there is one Agent In this county who has no compunction in that way. He has, we are told, on every opportu- nitv, run down the instrument we are selling, not because ho knows anything against it never, we believe having seen it. but in order to make psoplo believe he is selling the ouly good in­ strument ottered iu the count}*. But notwithstanding this we are, as we be­ fore said willing to let the North Western, speak for itself,and to anyone wishing to buy an Organ we will guar­ antee them a lower price and as good nn instrument as can be found in the Northwest.
