It is a little more Ithan human uatuie can bear. Such is 'the condition that we found some very chok'o Plants on our lot last week, and we want the party to und»rsland. (and we think we know who it Is) that we have no slips or Plants to give away or sell, and if they persist in taking them, they will soon have to make a reckoning that they will not likea Take anything else we hive, but let the resting place of our dead alone. March 20th. 1811. Iu 1815 his parents moved to Hamburg, Erie Co., N. Y.. where William spent the succeeding morning days of his life. On the 29th day of May, 1833, he and Sarah Foster were married and com­ menced the Journey of matrimonial life which they have traveled for over a half century together. fearly In Febrtmry, 1830, he came to Illinois, traveling overland with his team, and located a claim in the Town of Fremont, where Ids home was at tlie time of his dealli.

We have seldom witnessed such con­ stant suffering as he endured, oi* such ceaseless care for his wants as his chil­ dren manifested in his last illueos. For the last four weeks his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Gray, of Minneapolis, Minn., Mr. and Mrs. David Parker, and Mr. and Mrs, Jcduthan Gould have abandoned their accustomed occupations and de­ voted their time to the wants of tlie dying father, and they have now the satisfying reflection that all that will­ ing bauds and loving iiearrs could do to alleviate suffering, was done for iiim. The remains were buried In the cemetery at Ivanhoe, and the funeral service was held In th** church atthat place; Rev. R. Gilbert officiating.

Sow that the Kational and Atate nomina­ tions are made m> far as Republican* are eon. cerned, is it not nliont. time to be 'looking'over the Hold with reference to Senatorial, Assein." hlr and County oltlceis. For State Senator I hear the names of Tra U. Curtis, C. If, TrVon of our own County, and A. C. Fuller of limine, frequently mentioned. All are gentle nen of infliicne«!,'ahility ami experience and the dis­ trict will lie al>ly and faithfully represented in any event. And as viewed' from a mere persoiut! standpoint, to the district at Urge, it will in ike not so much difference which of' the three fha-ll be elected, and it isinoro likelv to depend upon personal friends in the can- cuses and conventions than upon the personal merits of eithei. From an interview with Mr, Trvon I think he has a preference to be re. turned to the [.over House, provided the Senatorial combination does not place it l>e. yond this Connty lo name his successor. In- Uependent of the Senatorial question, fr«un what I am able lo learn, a large percentage favor his return. He has one qualification, which commends itself specially in addition to his many others, and that is his profession, which is a farmer, in lhe strictest sense, whether considered theoretically, scientifi­ cally or nracticaliy. Mr. Curtis is a man who is in ornament to society and to his profession; was formerly a member nf our State l.egisla- ture, and discharged Ihedutiesof tlie |>osition Willi credit, to himself and acceptablv to his constituents, tie now tills the oltice of States Attorney, which position he has held for eight years, discharging the duties thereof so lie- reotablv to the people that at the clnseot his tlrsi i«rnt he was re-elected without opposi­ tion. Mr. Fuller halls front Boone, but is too well known as a man of extensive experience, distinguished ability, not only iu his own Coiut' v bufcthi'ouglioul the State, to question the propriety of his election, barriiiir the problem of local pride, which in my humble opinion should have no bearing. We are oue district, and should select a man who will represent the whole district with fidelity to all. Mr. Fuller, as Judge, as Attorney (icn- eral, as suite Senator, as a lawyer and private cit izen lias always known his duty and done It well. There are Tour names before the people for lite olttce of states Attorney: A. W. Noting, of Harvard, who is well kno.vn to our people, as the superintendent of the Woodstock and Harvard public school, and as County Super­ intendent of Schools, as well as a practicing attorney, atlei - the expiration of his term of the last named oltice Ite is a gentleman of learning and ability, and no d,.uhi if lite peo- plo so will, he will discharge the dudes of so important an office with ability, fidelity and seal. C. p. Barnes, of Woodstock, is a young man of worth mtd ability, and when lie shall have had experience fqitul to his *e»l and in- dustrv, will merit the confidence of the peo­ ple in lhe trust to which iio aspires. Mr, Casey, of Huntley, Is also a young man higlily recommended hv those who'havo known Itiiri, nitil, as I have only met hint two or three times, t can only s ty he his the be,iring ami appearance of a i^uug man ot industry and thoughtful tnteUigence. As to niv own can­ didacy I have lieen identified with education­ al and agricultural intereits of our county so extensively and *o long that perhaps I .tut Uto well known to ask for office I w ill therefore merely add thai Fidelity lo the law and lo the people has over been'and ever shall lie my motto. tn regard to tbeoffie of Circuit Clerk t only heiir .he names of two candidates, the present iucumhciit Mr. K.

The MtCormlck and l'lauo Self-Bind­ ing Harvesters each put one of their machines in my t|eld on trial, with the understanding that i should not be biiuiid to tmy either, for I had some doubt if they could be made to work successfully in this country. I find the McConnick is fust the thing we need in this country, where we have Stumps ami rough land. It is strong, durable :tnd does lis work well, picking up down grain better than the l'lauo. while (he drait is equally light, and for material and woikmansbip the McCor- inick cannot be surpassed, and would sav to my frleiide and everyone wish­ ing a rtrst-chisg machine In every respect to buy a McCormick and you will never regret it.
