Herman Malman has gone Into busi­ ness for him «eif, and la now prepared to manufacture first-class clothing at reasonable rates. Herman is a mighty good fellow, and a tip-top workman. He certainly merits, and will doubtless receive a good trade. Perhaps the little drive on the Mc­ Henry boys last week for proposing to play ball for money created a wrong impression. It seems th#* were per­ fectly willing to play a friendly game, but hearing that Wauconda was so anxious to play they said, "Yes we will play them,aud If they wish will put up ten dollsrs on It." That at least is said to be the how of It. But knowing we bad no regularly organized nine, not knowing they had been thirsting for an opportunity to play MuHenry, and the clialletiKO being to play for 810. we took it to menu what It said. The McHenry boys afe gentlemen certainly, and they beautifully scooped us Fri­ day. As stated last week. Wauconda liad no fears as to the result--not a bit of it. Why should they? Fear, la an enterprise deliberately and willingly undertaken. Implies a degree of uncer­ tainty. With the lack of practice, and absence of two of the best nan, the pitcher and estcher, there was little uncertainty.; The result was expected, hence was not feared. But the fact is McHenry lias a rattling giiod nine, and It Is no dlsgraos to be beaten by them, tliongh It Is s*1d they hare had little practice this season and their regular catcher was absent. • Picnic.

Prof. Estee. so report says, has placed our school board !n a quandary by pleading Indisposition to fulfill his contract to superintend our school the coming school year. A New York clergyman says: **A man does tint take a wife because she is a philosopher, but to satisfy his cravings for the beautiful, the good, and the gentle.'1 Our Co. G. boys have just rattttned from Lake Geneva, where they have been in camp for a week and report a good time, and we take pride la not­ ing from reports to Chicago papers, that for deportment and drill as a com- (ytny, they lai# no secoud place In the regiment,; In strolling through the streets of our beautiful city, we note the signs of tin ift and improvement which have been steadily advancing, by way of comfort and adornment withiu the past few years. We cannot, of course, without a more ininnto survey than we have been able to give, mention all. On Clay Street we notice two partic­ ularly attractive and comfortable new residences, completed within the last two years, on grounds long left vacant, after the binning, many years ago, of an antiquated and uninviting struc> ture. One is that of Etr.il Arnold, and the other was built by Dr. A. E. Bald­ win and now owned hy a stranger, whose name is not uow remembered. Near these, on the same street. Is a renovated residence of very respect­ able appearance, owned by a Mr. Craig. The residences along this street are noted for their neat and quiet appearance, and bear testimony of nfflu^nce and industry. At the cor­ ner of church anil Madison Streets, Mr. Eckert is making decided improve­ ment by changing aud adding to his residence. At the corner of Madison itnd Vine Streets, C. P. Barnes, oiir en­ terprising young attorney. Is trimming and Improving the lawn and grounds of his new home, lately purchased of A.W.Smith. Ou South Street Mr. Seymour l« building a fine residence. On Calhoun Street, the Presbytarian church aud parsonage and the Improve­ ments made by P, M. Buuker on the M. W. Hunt property are the attract­ ive features. A Mr. Wright, a wealthy business man from Chicago is erecting a palatial residence midway between Jackson and South Streets. On Jack­ son Street E. E. Richards and A. K. Bunker are Maintaining the reputation of our "Wabash Avenue" by ttsir new mansions, fast approaching completion. Near the court house we note the cosy and home-like appearance of our old and respected eit'aen, the obliging deputy circuit dork, Erastus Richards. May lie live yet many years tg ettfoy Its comforts. On Judd Street Fred Reulcli, the tobacconist, and A. Dryer, the harness maker and carriage trim- mervare building homes worthy of the beautiful sites selected. On Chemung Street the new German church is the oue principal building lately erected, which reflects credit .ipon the church and their popular pastor, the Rev, Mr. Kolh. The residences which have been built anew or rebuilt wltliia a year or two are many and of no mean appearance,built, as tliey.are to a large extent, from the savings of the own­ ers from daily labor. The residence of Jacob Zimmer, Esq., oua of our en­ terprising highway commissioners, shows that his taste for home comfort is equal to Ills good judgment far road- making. Well, Jacob is rstlier puny and consumptive iu his appearance, no wonder he wauts a comfortable home. Mr. Whltbeek. the marble man. has made the old to become new. Phi­ lander Woodard has added to Ills. And that fresh coat of paint on the mansion on the hill near the gravel pit, shews that -Crystal Lake Street Is alive to improvements.

Cot- ting, lately deceased. As woidd natur­ ally happen, he was the hope and pride of the family. Grandfather Cotting often remarked that he would give hi" own life to |ave the boy's. Whether at home with his father and mother, er with the family of lilt grandfather be was welcome aud loved lira same, and the hear|s of "Grandma" and "Aunt Hannah" are as desolate as any at his loss. He was a boy manly and thought­ ful beyond his years,aud took an Inter­ est In the affairs of the farm and his father's business that made hlin seem more like a lad of 20 than 14. Even at his «arly age lie evinced a good deal of business talent and method. When his health began to fail and it became evi­ dent that he had consumption, every effort was made to restore him, but without avail. He was patient and un­ complaining through all his long sick­ ness, and not {infrequently spoke of death, apparently without fear. Iu fact he once remarked: "1 do not see why anybody should be aflrald to die when It isso much happier than to live." He fell asleep peacefully in the morning, to awake to a brighter day beyond the river. The funeral services were con­ ducted by the Rev. G. C, Clark, and the remtlr.s were buried in the family lot In the Richmond Cemetery. Mr. Clark paid the following tribute to deceased at the funeral: Louie Cotting was born In Richmond III., Sept-mb-T 21. 1868. and died Aug­ ust 6,1883, aged nearly 15 years. His illness has been long and lingering, and for several months his case lias afforded Ills friends but little hope. It was only ton apparent that consumption was slowly but surely accomplishing Its work of desolation, and the coming of the end was ouly a question of time. Louis was a quiet unassuming boy. witli s kindly .genial nature, and a gen­ tle winning manner. Ha had a loving heart, was bright and thoughtful, and always faithful aud ambitious. He was much beloved by all who knew him. He was the only son of his parents and his death makes a large vacancy in the home from which he haa been taken, and he will be missed by a large cirde of his yOung schoolmates and friends. He died peacefully, and hie weary, wasted body Is at rest. |MiAKOiMKKTt har« been made with theeditor af this paper whereby atn> tents can, at any time, enter tha West­ ern Normal College aud Commarohd Institute at oue-third the coat of any other school.
