THERE aro many young men in this vicinity who are out of work or earn­ ing onlv half the pay they should re­ ceive. To all such we say, first get a business education, qualify yourself for better positions and better pay and you will gel them. The cood posi­ tions with good salailes are being constantly captured by those who have educated and qualified themselves in some good Commercial College. Do not postpone this matter until some future time, but get a business educa­ tion this winter. Write a letter or a postal to Mr. O. M Powers, Principal of the Metropolitanw-Buslness College, of Chicago, for a catalogue. That in- titut'on stands as high as any in the land, and if our young men woul£ go there and spend a tew months, they would find it a rich investment.

Cutteridge A Going, will give an entertainment in Malman's Hall. Prof.X'utterldge is well known in McHenry. He is a gentleman of ui> usual musical ability, and we have no hesitation in predicting that his con­ tribution to the entertainment will be in Itself richly worth the price of ad­ mission. Mr. Going Is so well known in this section that any statement, further than a mention of his name may seem almost superfluous, but the, fact Is there Is a temptation to enlarge lust a little when such a meritorious subject is presented, and so at"the risk of shocking slightly Frank's well known modesty, wie will say that a better negro minstrel is seldom seen In or out of Chicago. He Intends to make minstrelsy a regular business. During the summe> he has been study­ ing with that end In view, and it is said that he has Improved greatly In his specialty, a^d that in this enter­ tainment he is awfully immense. It must be confessed that there have been times when, as a whole, the McHenry troupe lias not covered Itself In Wauconda with the greatest glory possible.

No formal wedding was given and none but the relatives and very intimate friends of both parties were present, bi.t notwithstanding this fact the pres ents tliey received were remarkably numerous and peculiarly costly, a mate rial and convincing proof of the very high esteem in which they are held. It is hoped th>»t on their retnp4 to Chi cago. which they will make their future home, they may be enabled to pay at least a short visit to their many friends in Wauconda. where the grooin is very widely known.
