The subject of the above notice was a native of Ireland, aad one of the many early American setters who sought a home in the far west, having settled here about 1851. Few among our aged people were more favorably known than "Grandpa Knox," as he was familiarly called. His life was one of strict honesty com­ bined with many Christian virtues, and many of our young people, now grown to <nan|u>od, revere his memory for the ma^y lessens of piety and wis- dom whleh long ago he had instilled into their young minds. He had reaehed what Is commonly termed a "second childhood,1 and for the past year received from loving children the same tender care that Jie had bestowed as a father in their in­ fancy.

There was scarcely standing room at the Presbyterian sociable and musi­ cal entertainment held at the resi­ dence of Mr. Georgo Turner Friday evening, yet all enjoyed the exercises exceedingly. The suit for atsa'nlt and battery brought by FranklJWoodbury against a german working for Beal Finch result* ed in tavor of Mr. Woodbury. Mr. Frank Spitzer from Woodstock plead the case for the plaintiff and Mr. Foots ef Richmond for the defence. The trouble arose over money matters In a settlement for work, the defendent claiming the plaintiff cheated him out of a part of his pay. There was a dog and * whip mixed up In the affair, also. We believe the dog found Mr. Woodbury's whip and gave It to the german, who retalned'it as part pay-? ment for the sum owing him, and Mr. Woodbury accusing htm of theft had to take a severe "banging." Although public sentiment was strongly with the germau, the case went against him rand he was fined five dollars and cost. BISHOP'S MILL. A1N IN RUNNING ORDER.

Yet I wonder if it would not become monotonous by and by. and If the sunny, quiet days would not at laat seem dreary as winter moonlight on a grave. I believe, my dear, that it would. That all .my enthusiasm, my passionate love of nature would udie dead," and that I would live the same humdrum life that the huadreds do who never stoop to pick a wayside flower, nor raise their eyes to yiew a pretty sunset. I think that after a while the postscript to my prayers, would be a petition for a change--any­ thing, even an earthquake. Our long wintere, with their storms and gloomy days, make life almost a burden some­ times. 1 know, but ten-fold is the re­ compense when spring has come. There if a great deal of sickness all around the country, especially so among the children, changeable with­ er causing much lung and throat com­ plaint. Mr. Frank Lawson and family are going to move to Nebraska in a few days, to see If a change will benefit Mrs. Lawson's health, whftk ts very poor. Mr; P. K. Allen contemplates moving to Crystal Lake, which point will be more convenient for him to reach from his mall route. A host of Richmond friends would be sorry to hare "Pack" and his estimable family go. Already the wild ducks and geese have reached the Illinois River, In tbeir northward journey, and ere many more of these spring days have passed, this vicinity will probably be favorable for that sport--buuting. Ac unusually good season Is predicted. Mrs. Ed. Turner, nee Edith Moore, who has been suffering from blood poisoning In her hand aad arm. had her right thumb amputated one day last week. Mrs. Turner's many Trlends regret that she is having such serious trouble and hope she will speedily regain good health. The Congregational Church fair, which was held at the rink Wednes­ day and Thursday of last week, was considered a success, both financially and otherwise. The display was good --first rato, and was the result of many weeks of Incessant labor on behalf of the ladies of the church. The chance- taki lg method was not resorted to as is usual at a fair, but a few articles brought the treasury a good sum by voting. Supper was served through­ out the evenings, and the brass band helped to make the occasion pleasant. Nearly one hundred and fifty dollars were cleared, and the church will be re carpeted,etc. thereby. Ever since there were any boys In Richmond, or any flsh in Twin Lakes, the boys have made it Interesting for the fi9h, both In summer and winter. But one day last week the boys were the interested ones, for Capt. Acker- man bad some of them (that Is those erb0 did not succeed In getting over the line before the sheriff reached the^) arrested for yiolation of the Wisconsin fish laws. The boys took a morning ride over the K. D. to Ke­ nosha and one of them was fined a few dollars. It is needless to say that the affair caused no little indignation among Richmond people, and the unl versal opinion Is that Capt. Ackerman has made rather a mistake, as people who live in glass houses should never have boys arrestud for pulling in a black bass which had become eu tang led In the hook, How nice they are--r!ie«e very first spring days! It seems as though one could not breathe enou^ti of this Bweet blessed air. Of course now and then we have a little flurry of snow, and the white frost twines Its silken fringe across the boughs aa frequently as be­ fore, yet we know that Spring has come. We know that each succeeding day has a few moments more of pre­ cious sunshine than yesterday, and brings us nearer to bonny summer time. I think sometimes tbat it must be a perpetual joy to live where no winter's breath ever chills the lily's heart, nor locks up the meadow streams with Its loy keys, where al- uid »l«m T aonjil Hirn«fi Bargain in Music.
