He put on bis spectacles, scrutin­ ized the bill and after assuring himself that it was genuine, exclaimed: "I've been supporting this yere paper nigh onto four years, and I never had no such thing as this flung at me before. I'll stop supporting it!" H6 not only withdrew his valuable support, but failed to pay bis bill. A REPORTER dropped Into one of our large retail establishments recently says an exchange: "You have a great (rash of business," remarked the news­ paper genius to the proprietor. "Yes," was the reply, "and it is mainly due on acount of advertising." "How do you know that advertising pays?" lnte|ro- gated the reporter. "I know that ad­ vertising pays by stopping It. I've tried It; trade drops and the tide of purchasers flows another way. Of course 1 save some money by stopping my newspaper advertising. But I io*e a much larger amount. I tell you, you must keep the boiler hot if you jrant steam. If you bank your fires too long Ik lakes time to get up steam again. Advertising Is the steam that keeps business moving.

SPEAKING of the u6e ol slang by young girls, an exchange preaches this short and sensible sermon: "If young la lies, who through associations with young men whose limited education and poverty of ideas compel the use of slang in lien of correct expressions, comprehended the meaning of many of the terms put into their Innocent mouths, they would be shocked at the vulgarity of their companions. Almost without exception words and phrases popularly demonstrated 'slang' are drawn from the slums; tliey are the Inventions of the most depraved ele- ra i .ilf of human society, and should be avoided by all persons with any pre­ tentious to refinement and gentility," WE are ir. receipt of a beautifully illustrated catalogue from Mie Metro­ politan Business College of Chicago, giving views of the college rooms, out* line of the course of study, etc. The "Metropolitan" is an old and thorough­ ly equipped institution, and one of the largest iu the United States.

Old Settlers tnd young settlers, one and all, remember the date, Thursday of next, week, Aug. 27th, at Woodstock* THE Board of Health have made a complete tour of the village, and while many have heeded their suggestions and cleaned up around their premises, there are some who have taken no steps to abate the nuisance pointed out to them. Now if tills Is through neg­ ligence, I*. should be itteuded to at once. If through wilfulness it should be borne in mind that the Board have the law on their side and they mean business. It Is not only for tho good of the parties themselves, but the health of the entire village comes Into the question. We trust every good citipcn will heed the warning of the Board, and that extreme measures may nut be necessary. But all nuisances mutt be abated. "THE Lord have mercy on us; how unjust we are to our wives, our chil­ dren, our brothers and sisters, and our neighbors. There are men In this very town who meet a neighbors wife on the, street and take off their hats and bow and smile and sweetly say tender­ ly: 'How are you madame?' and then go home and wound their own wives with their tongues. Clever to all wi7«s but their own. I don't scol I. If I do I intend to scold somebody else's wife. 1 have heard many a mother say, when a neighbor's child would break <ome article of value, 'Oh, It does'nt matter;' whet, if their own child would break it they'd slap it clean across the room. Lord, give us a religion that will make us good to our wives and chlfdrcn and friends and neighbors," The above is an extract from one of Sam Jones' sermons.

BURR BOBBINS' Great Railroad Show will exhibit In this village on Fr day of next week, the 28th, and we have no hesitation In saying to our readers that it is the best Circus and Menagerie4 now traveling. An Ohlj exchange has the following to say of them: Burr Bobbins' menagerie and circus, which exhibited at Flndlay, Tuesday, gave a first-claw entertainment, and all who were there have only words of praise In speaking of it. The slight of hand, balancing and other exhibitions of Prince Satsuma were astonishing, and elicited frequent applause. The clowns in the ring kept the audience in good humor and made some folks wish to see a circus with nothing but clowns, which, however, might be some what like a cup of tea with nothing but cream. The menagerie is a choice selection of fine animals, the hippopota­ mus, tiger, elephant, lions and lionesses were ail unusually fine, and everjthing unusually clean. The establishment is evidently remarkably well managed, the army of employes orderly and courteous to the crowd of sight-seers, and attentive to business. War Prices Played Out. ON SILICKING.

Bucklaud, is numbered with the great majority. His last words have been spoken. He has gazed upon the faoe of nature for the last time. We see him no more on our streets. We are there­ fore compelled to speak of him as one who has obeyed the summons to join the innumerable throng that slumber in the silent halls of death. His death t >uc<ies the heart or a very large circle of warm friends, as the events of bis life spanned a wide range of human experience. Mr. Bucklaud was born In Brandon, Vermont, February 22d, 1827, Was reared on a farm with one sister and two brothers. He received a liberal education, giving some special atten­ tion to the study of midlcine, with a view of making It his life profession, which was abandoned later, and civil engineering chosen instead. At the age of twenty one, being away from home In Massachusetts, he had a very severe run of typhoid fever, which left him a physical wreck, from which he never fully recovered. / He came from Vermont to Dundee, III., In 1849. The following year he was engaged with a party or Engi­ neers to survey and locate the railroad track from Elgin to Richmoud, with headquarters *t McHenry. Among his acquaintances formed here was Miss Laura Smith, daughter of John W, Smith, to whom he was married Feb­ ruary 22d, 1855. In 1858 he moved to Dartford, Wis., where he. In company with his younger brother, bought a farm and was engaged successfully |n farming until 1865, when he sold his interest in the farm to his brother and returned to McHenry with the Inten­ tion of changing his oocupatlon, as his health was too much impaired for farming. In 1867 be located and built a cheese factory aud dwelling In Rlngwood, where he engaged In the manufacture ol cheese for the farmers or this vicin­ ity until he found, that through causes not In Ills power to control, the busi­ ness had become so unprofitable to him self and his patrons that he was com­ pelled to abandon It, after having lost nearly his whole life, earning In his endeavors to save his patrons from loss. In the mean time his wife died In the spring of 1869 leaving four young chil­ dren, throe sons and onedaughter, to care for. In 1870, August 10th, he married Miss Hattie Pike, a native of Hebron, New Hampshire, and sister of the present United States Senator tf'lke of that state, for his second wife, who, together with his four children, his sister, a large circle of more distant relatives* aud a very large assembly of sympa­ thizing friends and neighbors followed him to his silent resting place just flftoen years from that day. The closing years of his life he has engaged, in company with his so.i,(ln the Nursery business, constantly strug gling with increasing physical debility an^pain, much of the time wholly c.n- ableto attend to his business. But always when possible for him he co-iid be found, earnestly laboring to pro­ mote In some way the welfare of Ills family or lr!ends. Indeed it is thought by Ills physician and friends, that to hi6 incessant labor among Ills crops during the late excessive hot days is to be attributed congestion of the brain, which causedrtns lamented death. It Is not easy to think or write of Ijlm as gone foreverf from among us, yet we must bow ourlt^ads In sorrow, for one of our best citizens has passed beyond the shores of time, flls cordial, friend­ ly, unassuming manner, his unsullied character, his genuine, origlual and peculiarly pointed sayings, his uniform kindness and courtesy to all, bis o irnest devotion to his own business and to his family and friends will live In the memory of those who knew him ' best so long as memory endures. Tls ours to e<M|iHy|||e his many virtues. j. w':& A CAROK To the many friends and neighbors who gave aid and sympathy in our recent sad bereavement.we owe a debt of gratitude we can never repay. With full hearts we thank you. Your tender, thoughtful kindness comforted us, as far as human aflectlon could comfort. May the God of the widow and the fatherless bless you In all things. MRS.

All that medical assistance and tender care cculd do was done to make him comfortable until Death, the reliever of earthly sufferings visited him as above stated.

Ooulman has made t decided change for the better in the appearance of the Opera House, by treating it to a liberal application of paint. The bedy is what is called "pearl gray," with darker trimmings. He has also nearlv finished lathing the inside and will soon have It plastered. This will make It as comfortable in winter sea building of Its site can well be. It will be open for the skaters again next Saturday evening. John Oairus has a sick cow, affected in a singular way, and Mr. Green, who was called to treat her says that the affliction is quite common among stock 11 this vicinity at the presoit time. The animals will be found In the pasture unable to get upon their feet through paralysis of the hinder quarters. It will drag itself around from place to pi tee for short uistauces, and nibble at the clover a little, but generally refuses food when offered *o It. The concert for the benefit ofr the Richmond Oornet Band is being prepared for and prom­ ises to be a treat. The band will hare some new music in a few days, ordered expressly for the occasion, and the singers of Genoa and Richmond will vie with each other to offer some line vocal music. Let it be a grand success. Comrade L. Rollon is on'.the com­ mittee for Genoa, and « e can calculate that things at his eud of the line will be attended to with his characteristic energy and promp­ titude. The graishoppors which had done consider­ able damage t»the oats in this neighborhood, are now invading the corc Holds in large num­ bers. So tar as we have observed they have yet only sttacked only the outside rows, but there Is no telling how much damage they may do. The leavos of the corn where they are at work are eaten full of holes.

Last Thursday as Mr. Thomas Thompson's daughter was driving one of his horses from her home to Richmond, the a nimal became frightened at a midline beside the road, and ran away. Turning around very quickly the buggy tipped and the lady was thrown out, but not seriously injured. In tho buggy with her was a little girl holding the baby. She stuck to her place and held on for life tu tffc baby until she saw the horse wa^s running against an obstruction when she jumped and landed on the ground, baby and heiself unin­ jured. &n instant later the collision came, and the horse broke bis 'neck. That horse never will run away again. Attention of contractors is called to the ad­ vertisement of the Commissioners of High­ ways of the Township of Richmond, for bids for building the abutments for tho new bridge to be built over the Nipising near John C'ralne'a, and half a mile west of Spring Grove. The advertisement will be found in another place In this paper. We understand that the Commissioners intend to put in* a food bridge while they are about it, and not a structure like the present one, that will be tumbling Into the stream in a few years. Those who read the proceedings of the last session of the Hoard of Supervisors will remember that the Commissioners applied to the County for aid in building this bridge, as provided by law. A committee ef the Board of Supervisors has visited Richmond and ha<^a conference with the Commissioeers, and we suppose all things so fat are fully and amicably managad. so that no legal obstacles may stand in the way, as there did when the Solon bridge was built. It is going to be quite a job to put in the abut­ ments--one worth contractors' notice. The addresses of the members of the Board of Highway Commissioners is, X. S. Johonnott, Solon Mills, and for the other two, B. B. Cole and A. L. Austin, Richmond. We are pained to record the sudden death, at one o'clock p. m. on Friday of last week, of David Austin, son of A. L. and Sarah Austin, of this township. Something like a year ago, if we remember rightly, "Davy" was kicked in the bowels by a horse, and at that tiure came near deaths door. He, however, recov- eerd after a long and severe sickness, but was left with a weak spot in the bowels which gave him trouble if by chance he committed an error in diet. In Caet the indications have been that the inflammation following the kick resulted in stricture of the bowels. His late attack seemed to have been brought on by overeatiog of green apples. He was taken with the symptoms ot severe cholera morbus, which seemed to yield to prope^ remedies, and on Tuesday last a week ago be was' in Richmond. The day of his death he ate a good breakfast and shortlyvafter, being in his mother's siok room, he was taken with a sudden paroxysm of pain, in the midst of which he said to his mother that he should "never have auother." His wor ds were pro­ phet lo. He soon commenced vomi ting, and expired |tone p. a, as aboye stated. Davy was a bright, intelligent lad, ef pleasing, modest manners, and a universal Csvorite. His early death will caBt a gloom over his young associates, in school and elsewhere, as well as the afflicted family to whom he was The funeral was a very large one, the Rev" G. C. Clark, coming out from Roscoe, UL, to conduct the services, on Sunday. FOR SALS.-- A desirable nouse and lot In Richmond; nice location, west of railroad. A good and nice home for some one.
