Being naturally a boy of vivacious tempera­ ment, happy disposition and quick per* ceptiv* faculties, ho was always a favorite at school, and an advanced scholar, and able through the aid and protecting? care and judicious counsel of a kind mother, to acquire an educa­ tion and habits of life which endeared liitn to all who knew him. His cheerful greeting, and genial, sonny smile of welcome is daguerreotyped in the memory of a host of mourning friends. "He died where manhoods morning al­ most touches noon, and while the shad­ ows were still falling toward the west. He had not passed on life's highway the stone that marks the highest point but being weary he lay down to rest. While yet to iove with life and rap­ tured with the world he passed to tliat undiscovered country froin whose bourne no traveler returns." He was a lover of liberty and a friend of the op­ pressed. He sided with the weak and with a liberal hand aidfed the needy. He followed the light of the torch of reason and his religion was that of humanity--to do good, and make the world happier and better. All who knew him respected hi iv for his love of truth, and fidelity to every trust. Ho never quailed before the foe of an un­ popular truth, or catered lor a popular falsehood. He was a man of thought and culture an-1 hit loss is a public calamity.

Benediction Among the candidates for the office of States Attorney, we hear fayorablc comment of the veteran. Asa Smith, your valuable Woodstock correspond­ ent. The woods are full of his personal friends out this way. We have known Mr. Smith since the year of our laud­ ing in McHenry Co., 1857, when lie wa« County Superintendent of Schools, and the friendship formed so long ago hai never grown cold. As a matter of personal friendship then, we must say that we would like to see^'Asa" States Attorney if he wants to bo. Besides, liis standing as an attorney of many years' experience ought to be satisfac­ tory as to his qualifications for the office. Co. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS:-- Among the prominent educators of Mc­ Henry County, froin whom a candidate for County Superintendent is to be selected, we know of none more com­ petent for the position than II. C. Faber, of Richmond. Nor do we know of a man more thoroughly Imbued with the spirit of his calling more thoroughly informed as to the needs and possibilities of our school system, or more practical in his ideas of school work. Added to these essential qualifi­ cations Is Mr. Faber's thorough collegi­ ate education. Ills competency a6 a teacher Richmond happily knows in tlie fact tliat he has raised her public school to first grade, as shown by the award in the competitive examinations Believing Mr, Faber to possess every qualification a County Superintendent should have, we take the liberty, with­ out his personal knowledge, to urge his claims upon tlio electors of the County.
