Smith & Snyder's Lumber Yard, near the Depot, supplies this part of McHenry and the West half of Lake conniy with Lumber of all kinds, and the stock they keep on hand is not sur­ passed by any Yard iu the Northwest, while their prices are as low as the lowest. This tirm also deal iu Graiu and other country produce, and iu fact there is nothing a farmer has to sell but this tirm is ready to buy and pav the highest market rates for. paying the farmers some days- a? high as three thousand dollars.

We do not exagernte when we sav McHenry has two of tliejAuest Mills to be found in this part of the West. The Fox River Valley Mills, owned by Hon, R. Bish »p. is well known and has an enviable reputation throughout the county. Therefore It is only nec­ essary to say they have an excellent Miller, are running on full time, and are prepared to furnish their custom­ ers with Flour and Feed of the best, quality, or do their grinding on short notice and guarantee satisfaction. The McHenry Brick Mills, A. II. Hauley & Sous Proprietors, are doing a large and constantly Increasing bus­ iness Their Mill is turning out the celebrated New Process Flour, which isgivfng universal satisfaction where- over used, and keeps the Mill running to its utmost capacity to supply the demand. Owing to some disarrange­ ment with their dam they have beeu bothered the past week but will be all right again soon. L. Bonslett. iu Lansing Block, also keeps a wholesalo and retail Flour and Feed store, where yon can find live different brands of Flour and plenty of Foed at all times. A<«KICI LTUKAL MACHINERY". Opposite the M ill can be found the firm of E. M, Owen & Son, who keep a general assortment of Agricultural Machinery of all kinds, open and top Buggies, Wagops, Sleighs. Cutters, &c.

Over Perry «St Martin's store can be fou'ul Millar's Photogi'itph Studio, which is jcriainly one of tho institu­ tions of McHenry. As a Photographer MiSlcr is a success; iu fact it has been said that many of his pictures are more perfect than the subject, as tli«y are always perfect likenesses, and then--they «r»/»7 talk. Nnone should fall to call and secure one. UAkllWABi;. STOV'KS. 4fC. J, Story is now located in his own store, two doors West of the Rivers'de House, where he has a store full of Shelf and Heavy Hardware, Stoves, Tinware, Carpenters Tools, &c.

Gents Furnishing Goods, Hats, Caps, <&c., and arc ready to make suits to order oil short notice, and warrant satisfaction. Their trade is constantly increasing, and customers are coming from a long distance, which is a cure guarantee that they are giving good satisfaction, both iu quality of goods and good tits. On Water Street. Just North of the Riverside House,can be found F. G. Mayes, who has been a rciddent and done business iu this town for oVer twenty-live years, and probably Has dressed moro men and b<>ys than an}' other man in this section. He keops none but the best of goods, and is al­ ways prepared to make a single gar­ ment or a fuH suit on short notice, and give you "tits" every time, BOUT AM) SHOE MAKERS, Of these fellows, who make a busi­ ness of attending to the "soles'* of our zitizeiis, tliere are three, Fred Schnorr, at his new store, next door to Mead's Hardware storo, is an old resident here, and a Boot and Shoe iMaker who has a reputation second to none. He keeps a good stook of the best of leather, and will make you a new Boot or repair «m old one iu (lie best of manner.

At both places good horses and carriages can be had at all times at reasonable rates. Those wish- lug a rig for one hour or all day, can­ not fail of being suited. 1HK PICKLE FACTORT. This tias no v become one of the lit- stitutionsol McHenry,and far surpasses any establishment of the kind now run­ ning iu the Northwest. In the past year great improvements have been made at this establishment, large addi­ tions having beeu made to their build- iugva new Engine and Boiler put in, machinery lor making vinegar direct from corn, and other improvements which we do not now remember. The present proprietors, Cristy, Walker A Co.. are sparing neither time nor money in pushing the business,and un­ der the able management of Mr. W. A. Cristy is sure to make a success in every particular. The benefits which this institution is to this village and surrounding country is untold and wu believe the faot is appreciated by our citizens. We shall visit the establish* ment soon and give a more particular notice of its doings. HOTELS. The Riverside House, H. S. Wight- man. proprietor. This House 1s pleasant* ly located near the river, well fitted and furnished, and is kept in a style equal to the best in the country. Mr. YVightman spares no pains to make it pleasant for all who put up at this House, and that he succeeds is vouched for by all wrho scop with him. The Parker House near the [Depot, is so well and favorably known to the traveling public that encomiums from us are unnecessary. That Parker knows how and doe* keep a good Hotel cannot be disputed, and traveler*stop­ ping there sau rest assured of being well taken care of and furnished with aU comforts usually found in a first- class Hotel. BARBER SHOPS. McHenry has two shops, Geo. Rosen- burger. just north of the Riverside and J. Hetzel, in the Parker House. If you want a clean shave or a good Hair (Jut either will accommodate you iu the best of manner. SALOONS AM) RKSTAF RANTS. Of these McHenry has eight, vl»; Jos. Wiedemann, Casper Wirfs. Geo. Scnreiner, David Powers. Jo«. Freund. Tlios. Knox, Jos, Buck, and J.J. Gill6s. In all of these pUoes the hungry are fed, the thirsty relieved, and the hand­ lers of the cue are won't to while a leisure hour iu driving the ivory balls around the tables. , BREWERY. The McHenry Brewery la now «wn- ed and run by Gottleib Boley.aiid is do- ing a good business, / J.AWTEKS. In this profession McHenrjr has but two. vir: Hon. F. K. Granger and Hint. Richard Uishop. But then our citi­ zen* are all honest, peaceable and lair abiding, ar.d these two have little to do In tl»at line. ^ DOCTOR*. ----- In Doctor* McHenry riling* but three. Dr. n. T.

McHenry can boast of live men aa can lie found in the county. C. T.. BI- dredge, F. K. Granger, Smith &Snyder always stand ready to attend to this part of the business in this village aad surrounding country. ItEKTISTHT. In the person of F. J. Cross Mi llfi rr can beast of as good Dentist as can be found in the county. His office is over Mrs. Nichols' Millinery Store, and per­ sons wanting anything In the Dentis­ try line, from having a tooth polled to a full set of Teeth,should not fall to give hirn a call, as he is sure to suit you and his prices are as low is any other good workman. CIGAR MANUFACTORY. F. J. Barbian has the full swing this business, and make* a brand of Cigars that are becoming justly popular with smokers. His trade Is constantly increasing, so that he has hard work to keep ahead of ftis orders. V CiJOPER SHOPS. * \ Barblan's Cooper Shop, north eld* of l'ubllc Square, and the shop9 at the Pickle Factory, supplies the want In this line. Thus we close * brief notice of the business and businesl n»*n of McHenry. We have done this more to show outsiders the amount of business that Is being done In McHenry, than for any other par- pose, and we think the showing Is ex­ ceedingly good. There may be sosae that we have missed. If so wo shall be glad to rectifiy It n«xt week, aa It was not our iuteiitlon to skip a lisgls business man. Romucfi of Aitem ilialsi months Ago a middle-aged a former resident of Gospel Sws had to borrow money to buy a burro v go to Santo Catarlna Mountains pros* poet ing. He sold, the other day, • mine for 910.000, and has better mines still for sale. Another former resident of Los Angeles discovered a mine In the Dragoon Mountains and kindly placed a friend in the claim. After a widle he was ofered 975.000 fdr It, and finding the other half owner, discover* ed that he was in au advanced stage of intoxication. The whisky-eyed Indi­ vidual, who had not put a dollar In the claim, concluded: "Worth a million If it's worth a cent. Won't sell for |7S,- 000. Our wives will be dressed in silk down in Los Angeles.** The result was the parties bought out the sober part­ ner, and are now engaged in freezing, out the would-be-tniliionalre. A no tit­ er instance and I will leave tuluing matters. A certain miner here owed a merchant #110, and nu coining to pay his note had only 9100. The merchant tore up the note, remarking that "it was all right. Put me on some claim that you discover." The iniuer did it, and the claim lists since beeu sold for $40,000,--/,o* /I tvgele* Ileratd. IQrAn old steamir, the Planter, baa just beeu sold in Baltimore to junk dealers to be broken up. which during the war was known as "Grant's Apoth­ ecary Shop."
