All honor to the ladies of McHenry. They had a Decoration Day of their own last Saturday: an Impromptu gathering, born of love for the mem­ ory of the brave men whose lives were an offering on the altar of liberty, and whose bodies sleep under the green sod of our Cemetery. Of the nine who And a resting place there, one wae a stranger to those present. Nothing was known.of him but his name, yet as teiderly was the grave covered with flowers as though he was tlio dearest friend. After many had gone to the great gatherings elsewhere, toward noon something put it into the hearts of tlio ladies at home, to remember the nine who had seemingly been forgot­ ten. A few were seen, and soon in fie afternoon a notable gathering was in theJCemetery, flags marked the graves, flowers filled every hand, a few remarks and prayer by Rev. 8. Searl, an appro­ priate poem read by;Mlss Kittle Scott, a procession formed, and every grave literally covered with flowers. Three graves were without head­ stones. Mrs. J. I. Story was then.ap­ pointed a committee to correspond with the authorities about providing suitable stones for these three graves. This day will long be remembered by those present. Why may not McHenry have a Decoration Day of her own, for her own loyal dead--every year. * In addition to this the comrades of the 95th an 116th, who were at Wood­ stock on that day, not knowing that any decorating was being done here sent over a choice selection of flowers, to be strewn upon the graves of their comrades whose remains were deposit­ ed here. Also the many friends of comrade Blackmau, in Elgin, sent a tribute to liis memory In the shape of a choice floral oflcrin*.

Prop. tilTThere Is a probability of a dead lock between the President and Senate next winter, rivaling that of '6B-'68. between President Johnson and the upp«r house of Congress. At the next session of the Senate that body will be called upon to consent to so ne nomi­ nations which the more patriotic class of Democrats themselves can hardly endorse,and In all|llke11 liood there will be large batches of rejections sent back to Mr. Cleveland. Then will come the tog of war. and we will have lively times in Washington, with the Repub­ licans In the end on top of the heap. m. C. T. A. The following programme was car­ ried out at Xunda, May S3, it being tlie l..At -- at « _ • „ .. .. iirv tnrruiiK »i i ne smiwii jrr*r. The president called the meeting to order at 10 A. M. The secretary read the minutes of the last meeting, the roll was called and responses given the music being omitted until the after­ noon session wass called. The topic first presented was pen­ manship, by Mr. Long. 1$g!he subject was very ably handled'by Mr. Long and the remarks made by others at the close of the preseutation were good and were given in the right spirit. A mental arithmetic exercise was then conducted by A. J. Kingman, who use 3 very profitably the time until tlio dinner hour. An intermission of an nour and a half wasjhen taken aud at 130 p? M the Preside!.t vailed the meeting to order. Mr. Vasey was called to the floor to tell "how music should be taught in our public scliooli." lie thought the rudiments of music should be taught and the children taught to sing pleas­ ing tittle sotigi,, always being ctrcful not to disuou-age the rather dull scitol- ai8 bjr too severe criticism ou their childish efforts. It is sufficient to say that Mr. Vasey's opinions were endors­ ed by a majority of the teachers pres­ ent. Next wai-a song by Mrs. Hirsli which was highly appreciated by all present. Mies Annie Andrews then read a paper ou "how shall teachers spend *tlKlr vacation.' Miss Andrews criti­ cism ou how teachers do, as a general thing spend them, and h< r views as to how they should be spent, we e both based on goo 1 common sense aud re­ ceived no criticism from anyone. The subject of Reading Continued was next presented by S. B. Hlrs'i, and comment from me could not express the feelings those who are fortunate enough to have heard Mr. Hirsli deliv­ er his views in the able manner In which he does work assigned him by the examination ommlttee. A reading, ^Tlie WHV to Paradise," was then given by F. L."Carr. Method ot Language work for third and fourth reader scholars was the last exercise on the programme, and was conducted by A.Gardner in an able and instructive manner. After this exercise Mis. Hirsh favor­ ed the Association with another song, ar.d then the meeting adjourned sub­ ject to the call of the president. Owing to the lengthy pragramme to be carried out. the discussions were n3C{ssarily omitted or very «hort, but the meeting was well attended arid was all the association could wish. The Superintendent, Mr, Barber was there and announced that the Institute will be held in August and last for two weeks. Absent members note the above adjournment. H. R. BALDWIN Presl F. L. CARR.

We bespeak for hlta a kindly reception by the public and by his medical brethren. The ladies of the Congregational Church served Ice cream and cake it Post office rooms during the afternoon of Saturday, and at the Rink in the evening. They nit ted quite a corn- tor table little sum for the benefit of the church. Snme taking humorous Illustrated cards have found their way to our table. Tney advertise the Woodstock Fair, and are the get up of A, S. Wright, the secretary of the Agricul­ tural Society, who lias demonstrated to *'mauy a doubting Thomas'1 that the descreet and generous use of printer's ink Is the palladium of success. Among the generous deeds that Memorial Day brought forth, one ot those things that strengthens ones faith in the g< nerous impulses of the human heart, was the donation of the u*e of the Opera House in the after­ noon, by Mr. Ceulman. "The boys" were not expecting it and that makes It all the more agreeable. Mr. Coul- man deserves the hearty thanks of the entire community. A g »od company skate>l at the Rink Saturday evening, and. to quote the poet:*'All went merry as a marriage bell." »ri glad to see that the skating public--and that is a good big part of that same "public." appreciate Mr. Coulman*s efforts to run the Rink in sucli a way that it may be the pleas- antest recreation resert In town. And It undoubte lly is. We speak the voice of mauy in wishing him success. We notice, while riding through the country, that many field* of corn are up and nearly forward enough to com­ mence cultivating. In a good many places, too, the farmers were planting as late as last Saturday, and the crop will not be In entirely before the time this paper goes to press. Notwith- standit g the drought before' the rains ef Friday nignt and Saturday, the corn already up seemed to be making good growth. Small grain Is growing finely though W. Monear, whose fnrm is near Solon, informed us tha\ before the rain, he had noticed some yellow drought spots In* his oat fields. But now the needed moisture has been sup­ plied by the generous clou's. If the weather comes oft warm, we may look for a flattering growth of all the cereals. " Those farmers lu this vicinl y who have adopted the plan of setting their milk and selling the ctfttm, seem to think well of the new departure. Jas. Overton, of the Solon factory, is the pioneer isi this neighborhood. He runs a "cream wagon1' which gathers up the cream dally from the various customers, A graduated can is used for setting the milk, showing at a glance, thtuugh a glass register, the ainour.t of cream on each can. The cans cost about $1.90 apiece and it takes about one can lo each cow. This cav­ ers the expense of starting In on the new plan, except a covering of hoards or canvas to protect the milk while the cream is rising. This expense, then, may be reckoned at about 82 per cow. We had a chance to examine the cans on the farm of Lockwood Austin, and they look like models or neatness and convenience. The race on the Kichmon 1 track last Thursday was exciting. A lar#e crowd was drawn to see Prairie King trot against George Eldredge's little bay mare. This horse has been cracked up as being so far ahead of everything In tiiis part of the country lu point of speed, that some people expected the little mare wouldn't keep in sight of the "King," who is advertised to have a bona flde record of 2:38, and a fifty dollar pr'ce is put on his service on the strength of that advertised record. Well, away they started, and instead of the little mare's getting letr, tt.e (horse) shoe was on the other foot. Prairie King, with his low record, was beaten square and fair by the little bay mare! Aud when George coolly re­ marked that lie could beat him for one hundred or Ave hundred dollars, his ownef hadn't the s<nd to meet it. It must be that the speed of Prairie King Is greatly exaggerated or else George Eldredge has got a mare that those fellows who think they have something mighty fast better tight shy of. The Harvard Independent gives a glowing account of tlu piscatorial ex­ ploits of a company of anglers who went from that place to Solon Ma red- horsing." A barrel full of four and five poundeis after they were dressed, was a mignlflcent showing, and we can fancy "But" telling to an Interested crowd, some big stories of the way :hey were taken. About the time the Harvard boys were down at Solon we happened to meet a citizen of that place, who don't pretend to be much of a fisherman, either, and he told us a story of a company of flslior.nen frjm Homewhere, It couldn't have been Har­ vard of cour%e, who paid him #2.00 for catching a barrel full of flsh for them. It seems those fellows had an eight rod seine and they didn't know how to run it very well. Some of them were wet to the skin and they had caught two ftah. Taking pity on them, the citizen aforesaid o lie red to All the barrel for 92, an oiler which was gratefully ac­ cepted. He wont and get an old scoop net about four feet across, hitched to the end of a pole, an apparatus which the anglers froii abroad were Inclined to make fun of; but with this rather premature ccntrivance he soon had the bstrrel full and went l.ome 92 ahead. Of course the Harvard boys Stave reason to be proud that such is hot their way of catching flsh. We presume the citi­ zen could tell who the other crowd -- ^ ' • Memorial p*y. ft , The observance of Memorial Day at Richmond was a-success In every par­ ticular. From the fact that the heavy rains had made the roads pretty mud­ dy and the ftrrther threatening of the clouds Saturday morning, it was deem- ed best to deviate somewhat from the advertised programme and have the servi jes in part at the Opera House. The orator of the day, John E. Burton, of Lake Geneva, came down on the second train from the north, a-com- pan]eel by his wife. About half past i2 p. m. tlie Richmond Cornet Band took a position opposite the hotel and dis­ coursed some very excellent mublc, and then went to the G. A. R. head­ quarters to lead the Post to the Opera House. Arriving at the intersection of Broad and Main Streets the cojumn halted while the speaker was escorted to his place in the procession^ and then all preceeded to the Op«ra House. The floral offerings, beautiful and in lavish profusion, were piled upon a large table near the entrance to the had Among these, two beautiful crosses, brought by Comrade W. B. Walker, of Harvard, deserve especial mention for their beauty. One Was for the grave of his old Captain, E. J. Cook, who was shot betore Vicksburg, and one for the large soldiers' monument. The Opera House contained the largest audience we have ever seen inside its waits. Upon the stand were stationed the Congregational Church -Choir, and to their right the orat ir of the d.iy, chap­ lains and Conunader of the Post. At tlw left and In front of the stage the Richmond Cornet Band were stationed and ai their right the members of the Orand Army of tin. Republic, and in trout ot bnh 32 beautiful little girls dressed in white and bearing tlewers. These were the selected -Flower Bearers." 1'he exercises were opened by reading of General Oiders from Headquarters, by Adjutant J, C. Smith ot Ricnmond Post, and-thereafter con­ ducted according to the ritual of the Grand-Aimy of the Republic. i lie oration, ifiver. by Mr. Burton, was a nenutiful specimen of diction, wf «ord painting, of beauty and pathos. 1 lie speaker well deserved the naiue applied to him by another orator: "The golden tongued." He paid a glowing tribute to the dead and the living who had periled all in the bat­ tles ot the Nation, lie also pronounced a touching eulogy on tiie "soldiers frien I,"' the venerable James Baron, whose remains were recently escorted to the grave enveloped in his country's flag which he so much reverenced. W# are glad to say that the oration will be published in full in the local press, and then our readers will see how inade­ quate our words of praise are to ex­ press al, that niljrht be said as an eulo- gium. Mr. Burton was followed by the Revs. Charles Frazer and Giorge Clark in eloquent and appropriate remarks. Unfortunately, while Mr. Clark was speaking, a man in tlie audience fell in an epileptic fit, which distracted the attention of the audience from the flne remarks wliicn lie was making. This accident, too, set the audience in mo­ tion i rt of doors without waiting for the formality of the benediction even -a piece of ill breeding which perhaps excusable under the untorseen and extraordinary circumstances of the case. But* for this diversion. It was intended to offer a vote of thanks to the Orator, the Band, the Choir, tlw* sweet little Flower Bearers, the noble women who contributed their time, and their counsel in the floral decora­ tions, etc. The Band and Choir did splendidly as usual. We heard encomiums from strangers from abroad 'MI the perform­ ances of both. To all who assisted in any way in making the observance of the day t* e grnnd sqccess that It was, the Grand Army ort|ie/Republic extend grateful thanks. Our people, in t ie main are a gener­ ous people, ever ready to assist by work and money In such an aHair as that of Saturday, But we are informed by the solicitor of funds that not a few to whom a subscription paper was oflered, to raise funds to meet the ex­ penses of the occasion, refused to give a cen-J and others whose wealth and extensive business would make a liber al subscription a mere bagatelle, ex empdtled their nobleness of heart by a twenty.- ;five cent subscription, while the men who went south and fought their battles for them, preserving for them the blessings of a Government whose beneficent rule gives them their{| rosperity. had to put their hands in their pockets, mauy of them by no mean* gold lined, ar.d put lip the bal­ ance. If any such were lu that atten­ tive and sympathetic audience they could not have felt at home Their hearts were not in sympathy with the sentiment and spirit that pervaded that audience. Amid the scores and hundreds of warm and patriotic hearts around them they were %]one--they were,fO to put it, of nnoiher race and lineage, and thrilled not at the popu­ lar heart beat. Humanity - is not all gold, however much we may wisli it, and though we may feel a thrill of contempt, not unmixed with pity, for the barren souls we sometimes find we may thank God that in the main the heart of humanity is ri'ht and not proof against generous and noble im­ pulses. We are not making strictures on any particular man or men that we have in our minds nye at this moment, for we do not know what any particu­ lar person put down on that subscrip­ tion paper except ojrself arid perhaps a couple more. But when the Comrade who carried the paper reported hi? reception in some places, without specifying <vhere. we could not help such thoughts and feelings as we have just written. After the services at the Opera House the procession reformed, the Bar.d leading, then the G. A. R., then the little Flower Bearers and citizens, and marched to the c-'tnetery where the soldier*1 graves were reverently wreathed willi flowers strewn by their surviving comrades. Marching back again to the intersection of Broad aud Main Streets, tlie column broke ranks and the Band then favored the iiun dreds who thronged the streets and side walks with some more superb music--and the observance of Decora­ tion Day, 1SS5, in Richmond was ended.

People were genetally sur- prised at the progresa matte ia so short a time after the organization of the band. The mutic was just "tiptop." Hope they will come again. The entertainment in the evening wae well patronized, and we think gave general satisfaction. Perhaps no better proof of the favor with which the baud was received can be given than by stating that it so stirred np the boys here that they are determined to have a band also. I.ast Saturday night they met in the old hotel halt to organize. They will doubtless report progress of theotseives in a short time. Dr. and Mrs, McChesney went to Wisconsin last week.
