Is not this 8oui<d sense? A STRANGE case of sudden death oc­ curred at Ridge field, this county, re­ cently. An old gentleman l>y the name of Hartmann, was sitting In his easy chair when a little girl of the family stepped into the room, and told him of the sudden death of a neighbor. He made no reply, and Hie little girl went out* and returning shortly afterwards repeated the state­ ment. He still sat still, and made no reply. The child went Out, and report­ ed fte strange conduct of tho old gentleman.

First come, first served. THE law requiring township ofliceer to publish statements showing th® amouut aud disposition of funds com­ ing into their hands by virtue of their office Is a wise safe-guard, and should be strictly obeyed. The following Is the new law requiring such publica­ tion. § a. Any public officer of any county or township in thin state, who, by virtue of his or tier office, shall have the custody of public funds, and who shall refuse orneglect to com. plv with the provisions of the first section of this act, shall be deemed guilty of a misde­ meanor. and, upon conviction thereof shall be lined not less than flity dollars (150), nor more than five hundred dollars (S500), at the dit- cretion of the court, which tine shall be paid into the treasury to the county or township in which the officer convicted of said mis- demeanor shall hold his or her attorney for the countv in which said misdemeanor is com mitted to bring suit against anv public officer charged with the violation of the urovittoua&f this act in any court having jurisdiction. SOME TURRETS.--From a torn scrap of the weekly issue of the New York Times dated August 18, 1876, we olip the following: "Lucius Tuttle, of Can­ ton, 1$. Y„ tells a queer yarn about a turkey, and asserts that lie can prove it by oaths of nine unimpeachable witnesses. For the purpose of mul­ tiplying and replenishing the earth with turkeys, Luolus sat his turkey upon seventeen eggs. At an expiration of the usual period of Incubation he found that the turkey had produced the requisite number of youug turkeys, but was surprised to find twenty seven eggs still under her. She had evident­ ly laid an egg every day besides doing the hatching business. But the won­ der of the thing Is that the turkey still continues to sit there, hatches one chicken and lays one egg per diem regularly." If there was any more of the par­ agraph, it has been torn oft from the scrap referred to. THE following is the list of delin­ quent Taxes, for the town of McHenry, as advertised by the County Treasurer, If not paid before, the lands and lot« above (named will be sold to satisfy said taxes on the second Monday in June: McH E X RT--Township 46, Range &.

Try onr "Hatchet" baking powder only 26 cents per pound, warranted, at Bonsletl A S to lie If* A VAi&fct* etfehange ctot» ttt a truthfolrematk to thto effect:MATito editor must always have onemiea. Only the worthless create no antagonism. Show me the editor Uiat Is worth tho dirt It takes to bury him, and 1 will show you a man with onemies. And the editor that serves tho community best--most faithfully, and loyally and fearlessly--is the one who will have the most enemies. Why f Because he la continually antagonizing men who from mercenary and selfish motives, are try­ ing to crowd themselves upon the com­ munity. He is always antagonizing tho most selfish and unprincipled men in the community. And In this way he gets his enemies. If a man drifts along and takes no stand against anything or anybody, of course he makes no ene­ mies; nor is he any good. But the edi­ tor that has convictions and the cour­ age to avow them, is always running agaiust somebody, but he is a go id ra&n for the community. SMie wide awake* energetic and aggressive man is the valuable man, and the 01 e, too, that lias his enemies. Opposition is the inevit­ able result of aggressiveness. But a man that is used to 'opposition never worries over it. He learis to take it philosophically--as . OH® or^ho necet. sary things in life." ^ Newspapers otTo-Day. ^ People generally^ and even those who may be termed steady readers and close observers, have but a faint conception of the magnitude and in­ fluence the press of this country has attained. From 4 careful examination of the advance pages of the 1885 edi­ tion of the AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIKECTORT. issued May 1st, by Geo. P, Rowell & Co., of New York, it ap­ pears that there are 14.147 newspapers and periodicals published In the United States and Canada; of these the United States 12,973 an average of one paper for every 3,867 persons. In 1884 the total number of newspapers was less by 823 than at present, and while the gain this year Is not so marked as in some previous years. It Is still oonsiderable, Kansas shows the greatest Increase, the number being 78, while Illinois follows with a gain of' 77. It Is curious to notice that New York, the scene of so much political activity during the last campaign, should have only about one-third as many new papersfas the Stato of Penn­ sylvania. As an Index to the com­ parative growth and prosperity of difie rent sections of the country, es­ pecially the Territories, the number of new papers form* an interesting study, and may well occupy the atten­ tion of tho curious. 1 ' -- -- -- • ' BSfThe fourth annur.1 reunion of the Fifteenth Regiment of Illinois Volun­ teer Infantry will be held at Roekford, III., oil Monday, May 25th, 1885. Last year over one hundred survivors were present at the reunion, artd it is be lleved the number will be much larger this year. The committee of arrange­ ments will spare no effort to render the gathering thoroughly enjoyable, and it is earnestly hoped no comrade who can come will fall to put in an appearance. The Chicago & Northwestern Railway company have generously granted re­ duced rates all over their lines in Illin­ ois--all those attending the reunion being required to pay full fare to Roekford, where they will be furnished by the secretary *ith a certificate en­ titling them to return at one-third the regular rate. Circulars glvftig all ne­ cessary information will be forwarded to comrades in a few days, The Netv York Sun makes the following comments upou the narrow escape that Gen. Grant hid from be­ ing butchered by the Ignorant physi­ cians: About a month ago, when hi* physicians had fully made up their minds that a cancer was eating ?up his tongue and fauces, a consultation was held to discuss the advisability and expediency of resotring to a desperate measure of temporary relief. It was proposed to perform a surgical oper­ ation whicli Dr. Shardy thus discribod ID giving a report of the consultation in the Medical Record of March 21. "Such a measure would involve the division of the lower faw in tne med Ian line, the extirpation of the entire t*ngue and the greater part of the soft palate, together with the removal of the ulcerated and iufllitered fauces and the indurated glandular structures under the right augle of the lower Jaw." Dr. Shardy went on to say that all this was "considered mechanically pos­ sible,M but that, "In the best Interest of the distinguished patient the sur­ geons did not feel Inclined to recom­ mend the procedure,n for "even by such means there could be no guaran­ tee, In view of extensive surrounding infiltration, that that the limits of the disease could be reached without im­ mediate risk to life by the severe shock tea constitution already much enfee* bled.
