THE fellow, who, by mistake, sent his auburn-haired sweetheart Instead of a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup a bottle of hair-dye, wants to know the .best way to commit suicide. WE would call especial attention to the Prospectus of the Chicago Jnter Ocean, to be fopnd In another place in this paper, Jjt is one of the ablest ' Republican papers published In the ^ Went.

ONE O! the severest snow storms of the season, accompanied by a heavy Wind, struck this section on Sunday night, and the consequence is that the Railroads are air blockaded, the high ways are almost Impassable and busi­ ness generally is st a stand still. At the time of writing, Tuesday after­ noon, tbe thermometer is down in the twenties, and the wind blowing a stiff galf from the west. AT the Skating Rink this week the following attractions are offered, as will be seen by reference to a nor ice elswhere In this paper. On Thursday (to-morrow) evening, a prize 'or the best lady skater who never skated before this winter. On Saturday after­ noon, the 14th. a Masquerade for chil­ dren of 15 years of age and under. Saturday evening a Hurdle race. Rare sport may be expected. THE entertainments of the McHenry Dramatic Club, at Gr&nd Hall last Week, were a success In evdVy particu­ lar, and netted the band boys the handsome sum of #60. The drama was an admirable one and all took their parts so well that it would be folly for us to attempt to particularize. The Ball was well filled both evenings and all went home well pleased and with tbe hope that they would bring out - another play at no distant day. another column can be found a new advertisement for W.H. Dwight, Woodstock, who keeps the only ex elusive Boot and Shoe House in Mc­ Henry County, and who is now offer­ ing bargains in Boots and Shoes never before heard of In this section. His goods are of the best manufacture to bo found In the country, and he will war­ rant every article so^ just as rep­ resented. Read his advertisement and be lure and call when In want of anything in bis line.

WE despise a common thief* but an uncommon one--a newspaper sneak thief--we have a perfect hatred for. When we iiave occasion to clip from our exchanges, we intend to give prop­ er credit, and if we are not treated in the same manner by certain exchanges, we shall cut ttiem oft our list. Do you hear us?--Harvard Independent. That's right, Brother Burtch, but go further. Give us their name. THE great Peter Cooper is credited with the following: "In all towns where a newspaper is published, every man should advertise, even if nothing Inore than a card telling his name and the business in which he is engaged. It not only pays the advertiser, but lets the people at a distance know that the town you reside in bas a prosper­ ous class of business men. As the seeds are sown so it recompenses. Never pull down the sign while you intend to do business, for jt often in­ dicates that your grip, commercially, is broken. The judicious advertiser will receive, in return, ten dollars for every one invested in the columns of a local paper. MAHRJKD.--In this village, on Tuesday, Fel>. 31, 1H8&, hv Rev.

The Are waa feupd to be in the Meat Market of L. A. Par­ ker, situated just west of his reeldenoe, which, together with its entire con­ tents, was destroyed. In fact so quick was the work of tha demon Are, tbat the building was one mass of flames within five minutes after the altrm was given. In the market was two dressed hogs, two quarters of beef, one barrel of salt pork, one barrel of corned beef, one Stevens Patent Cooler, valued at 9225, all his tools, fixtures, etc^ and so rapid was the spread of the Are there was no chance to save a single article.

Insured for 9700, in the Rock- ford Insurance Com pan v, of Bockford, 111., C. 11. Morey, Agent. Now the question naturally arises do our citizens realize the condition we are In In case of Are, and are they willing to lay supinely upon their backs, huggln; the delusive phantom of hope that we may escape the dread­ ed conflagration, until it is too late? Had the lire of Monday evening broken out in either one of our business blocks our town would have been one ssass ef ruins to-day, for with the exception of wooden pails we have not a single ap­ pliance to extinguish Are. While we have fortunately. escaped for years, the fire of Monday evening Is a warn* ing that the dread demon is liable at any time to pay us one of his unwel­ come visits, and it is uothlng less than criminal to neglect to procure seme- thing to protect our village. W« hope a meeting will be called at onoe and some steps taken to procure some sort of a fire apparatus. M. C. T- A. SCIENTIKIC.--Soda or Saleratus con­ tains carbonic acid gas.

Mr. Lee stated that he waa not prepared to give an exercise ih a way which the term Technical Grammar indicated, that he taught Language. His re­ mark? produced a long and spirited discussion. Fourth year in numbera Jwas discusa- ed by J. C. Paul. He reviewed brieAy the work to be accomplished the pro­ ceeding three years, and stated as t^e pupil could now use a book we sbouid be careful not to tell him what he can And out for hlmaelf.

"Physical Geography Continued," by Miss Alice Deering was presented In a very Instructive manner, covering the "waters of the Wofld." Discussion spirited.

What might be inferred as something detrimental to the Sons of Temper­ ance was Intended for another party and subject. A short time ago the teachers and pupils of our Public School visited the Genoa school of which Mr. Linn Young ts Principal. They were cordially re* eived and highly entertained. Last week Mr, Your.g and pupils returned the visit. Come again. For several weeks Mr. Wire, of Greenwood, has declared his intention of bringing his pupils up "to spell down the Hebron school." Friday night was the time chosen, the result being a follows: The first time spel­ ling there were twelve standing of the Hehron school w!ien the last Green- woodito went down, Miss Anna Prouty spelling dowu both schools.' The sec­ ond time at the last there remained one representative from each schooh Hebron going down flrst. This is an exercise that should be encouraged and often repeated.

The Western Plowman, of Moline, III., has just published the Ga*ne ot the Flying Dutchman, an inrtocent. in- stru;tive and fascinating amusement, for vounur and old, Those deficient in spelling, or a little slow in addition and subtraction will find the game of the Flying Dutchman a* good ft»r them as a term at school. It can be played by any number of persons, the more the merrier, There are flfty-slx cards, each one containing a letter and a number. Words and combinations are mad« from these cards, and when combina­ tions are made lgtving numerical value of fifty, the player takes the Flying Dutchman, which adds fifty to his ac­ count, This remains In his possession un .il some other player takea enough words from him to lower his record below 100. when tbe Flying Dutchman "llias" to tbe player who nas taken his word. It will be seen by this brief description that the players are kept constantly spelling, adding and mib- stracting, w licb makes tho game a most excellent mental discipline. The regular price of this game Is 50 cents, but it is used only as a premium for the PLOWMAN. For 18 cents in stamps, the PLOWMAN, a 20-page paper, stitched and trimmed, is sent tor three months, and a copy of this game with full instructions. Address, WESTERN PLOWMAN, Moline, III.

A number of fair contestants strove for the prize of grace on roller skates at the Opera House, Saturday evening. Miss Hillsbero, of Bristol, Wis., bore oft the. honors. Once more attention is called to the party at the Culver House, F« b. 19th. The music Is by Slocum's Orchestra It is needless to say that Landlord and Lady Culver will use every endeavor to make the danoe a pleasant aflair In every particular. On Thursday evening, Feb. 12th, Chass EJdrcdge and Frank Vosburgh will try titles, at the Opera House, for the Richmond "championship" on roller skates. Both of (he boys are fair skaters, and which is better is a subject of much interest to the friends of the two, if not, to the young gentlemen themselves, and we wouldn't wo.tder If considerable money changed hands on the result. The livery and sales stables hereto­ fore rua by John Dermont, have passed into the hands of Alex. Dermont, who will hereafter run the. business. Mr. Dertnont lias bought the place where Peter Birch used to live, will move into town about the first of March, and become a permanent resident. "Alex" is well known as a straight, honest business man, and we hope he wjll get his lull share of public patronage. The teachers and students of our public school were delighted, last Tues­ day, by a visit from the Principal and pupils of the public school of McHenry. Such visits are n good thing for all the participants. The Interchange of courtesies and thought between the members of difierent schools is not only pleasant but elevating and instructive. We feel sure we express the sentiment of our teachers In suggesting a renewal of the visit at the earliest convenient date. When will our school return the compliment? Probably the worst place on the face of the earth le send a majority of con­ sumptives to is Florida. Aud yet, hun­ dreds of poor sufteurtPfrom that al­ most hopeless disease are sent there annually to die. Wiat is about what it amountOd. News was lately received from otie of our townswomen who went there last tall in hopes to be benefitted by the climate, that she is worse in­ stead of better, and her husband started ou his sad' journey to her side. The wicked humbug In regard to ti*e bene­ fits of the Florida climate to consump­ tives is, happily, being exploded. Those who l^ave the comforts of a good home and t|ie fairly good ollmate of Idinois for the inconveniences and discomforts of Florida hotels and the poisonous malaria of a Florida climate, and, we might add, the extortions of Florida landlords, will, in most cases, only reap a harvest of regrets. The snow storm of Saturday was re­ markable for the size of tiie flakes, the rapidity with wliicn the snow fell, the stillness of the atmosphere and the brightness of the day. Indeed It was, to the close observer of nature, a phe­ nomenal storm. It was a bea 'Ui fn l sight to .watch the Immense flakes fa l l in myriads through the remarkably bright atmosphere. The depth of the fall w is ten to twelve inches, and there was not wind to disturb it at all. so it lay where it fell, and. as a consequence, the sleighing is superb. The snowfall ceased during Saturday evening, the stari shone frotn a cloudless sky later. %nd Sunday morning was one of the most superb that ever dawned on the snow covered earth. The sun rose as on a summer's morning, and the golden gleams of light reflected Irom the snow and frost covered trees aud streaming through a fine frost which permeated the atmosphere made a sight long to be remembered by every lover of the beautiful who observed it. The date of the next fair of the Rich­ mond Market Fair Association is fixed for Thursday, Feb. 26. The new officers elected lately will, wc trust, take hold of these fairs with renewed interest I'hey have"ah>eady been of great value to our farmers at d townspeople. On every wall and fence corner we see posters advertising auction s^les of stock, and other things, Wliv cannot these sales be all concentrated at the market fairs? If the custom were to be inaugurated and m-ide genera], it would be to the benefit of all concerned. If it be properly advertised so people know the stock will be on sale at tlie fairs, to the fairs the buyers will come. But the custom cannot be made a per­ manent success by a little talk, or by advisory articles in our local columns in country newspapers. The officers of the Association must take the trouble to see those who have stock for sale and labor with them personally. They must be made to understand that a bigger crowd can be got out at a fair than at a private sale, and that the chances are that, better prices will be tealized at this fair. If the farmers would club together to have their stock on sale at the fair all together, they might save considerable in the way of advertising. If the officers have enough interest in the success of the fairs to get into their buggies and canvas the terri­ tory naturally tributary to them, they have It iu their power to make a mighty change in aflairs.
