His many friends in this section con­ gratulate him on his good fortune, and wish him all manner of good luck in his new home. JPL iiMmiiW WE are Informed that our village Is being disgraced and property en­ dangered by the lawless actions of a setot individual? who ought to know better, and if they do not should be taught by the severe arm of the law. We refer to the carousing that is said to have been going on at the Clover Dryer building, on the West Side, and the Cheese Factory building In the center part of town, the two Sundays past. It behooves the author­ ities to look into this matter at once. If these disgraceful proceedings are repeated we shall speak more plainly in the future. THE members of Sear Lodge, No. 64. I. O. G.

Yny one wanting good Pasture for young stock caa find the same by calling en P. Gleseler, four miles West It Is Indeed gratifying to us to hear tho many words of commendation whieh are bestowed on our Soldiers Department, that appears each week on the first page ol this paper, and which is under the oharge of Comrade Wm. H. Cowlin. of Woodstock, Mr. Cowlin, from his experience >t the front and in the prison pens of the South, Is peculiarly fitted to edit a column of this klnd„and that he fulfills his mission well Is evidenced by the contents ot bis department each week, and the high encomiums we receive from the many veterans who weekly peruse these columns. He is also one ot the most successful Pension Attor­ neys in the State, never having failed to secure a claim that had the least merit, and many time after It had been given up as hopeless by other Attorneys. He is painstaking, careful and honest, and any comrade who has business with the Pension Department should not fall to consult Mr. Cowlin* As we said before we are proud of the Soldiers Department In the PLAINDEALER, aad commend Its.eare- ful perusal to all and especial to the boys In blue, to whose Interest Mr. Cowlin Is devoting his best energies. THE west end of our village narrow­ ly escaped a fearful conflagration on Friday last. A large smoke house, standing in the rear of Schiesale's building, near the depot, and which was being used by Howard's Market, caught fire and burned up, together with a quantity of bams, etc., being sraeked therein. Had It not been dis­ covered In time the whole west end of town would have been a smoulder­ ing ruin to-day, as the smoke bouse stood but a few feet from other build­ ings and the .wind was In the right direction to make it most destructive. Again comes the warning "leek your barn before the horse is stolen,'1 Every day demonstrates more and more our unprotected condition as regards fire, and it is a crime to neflect to act in the matter. After all this warning we hear men say, "Oh, a Fire Engino would be of no use." Well, then we say, if you are so sure of that why in the name of Heaven do you not sug­ gest something that will be of use. But the facts of the case are, gentle­ men, you do not know what you are talking about. The right kind of an engine is just what we do need, and we challenge any man to show good cause why it should not be procured at once. Why Not McHonry? Groat efforts are being made by the enterprising towns about us to build up business. In many places there are organized committees whose business it is to make known the advantages of the place, *nd to attract business men to it. In others the capital of resi­ dents Is Invested In business that makes work for those who live by their day's wages, and- furnish a market for the produce of the vicinity. There Is no place of its size In Illinois that has more natural advantages than McHenry, nor whose surrounding country has a batter class of citizens to support any maeufacturing enter­ prise that might start in our midst. And we have some capital here that is seeking investment. Now, we ask, why loan this extra capital? Why not look up some more and put it into some horns Industry? If the Inter- State commerce law aet as It reads, the large towns will have no ad­ vantage oyer us In freights, and we have the advantage over them In cheap roal estate and house rents. And a good maaufaoturlng compa­ ny of some kind in operation, handled by our own people and backed by home capital, would soon attract capital and operatives from other places. We have the natural advanta­ ges that God give us.' Why not use them- Who will start a citizens committee, or what is better, a home company, to add to our home industries? WE elip the following from the Lake View Independent, which will be of Interest to our readers, at tbe junior member of the firm Is a Mc­ Henry county boy: "We recently had the pleasure of visiting the milk de- pets of Messrs. Kee A Chapell. corner Hill and Franklin Streets. Chicago, which are a model of perfect order, system and cleanliness, and which one could hardly realize as being possible In so extensive an establishment. Tbe senior member of the firm Is an old citizen of Lake View, and their patronage here has grown very rapid­ ly under bis personal supervision. The firm contemplate erecting a branch depot in onr city at an early day Irom which to supply this portion of their trade." SHE was a remarkably sensible young lady who made tbe request of her friends that after her decease she should not be burled by the side of a brook where babbling lovers would wake her from her dreams; nor in any grand cemetery where slght-seers, con­ ning over epitaphs, might distract her; but be hid away to take her last sleep under the counter of some merchant who did not advertise in the newspa­ pers. There, she said, was to be found peace surpassing all understanding--a depth of quiet slumber, on which neither the sound of the buoyant foot of youth, nor the weary shuffle of old age would ever intrude. • » SEALED PROPOSALS.

A very large :rewd of neigh torsand friends assembled at the Presbyterian church on Friday to pay their last tribute of respect to Mrs. Woodbury, who died Wednesday night. She had been a patient sufferer from inflam­ matory rheumatism for several years, and death to her was a great relief. She was admired and respected by all, and her friends were many. She was born in Rutland, Vt., in 1823, was married to Wm. Woodbury (who survives her) in 1815, and the home where she died had been hers for forty years. She leaves four sons, who carried all that Te. mained of their mother to her last resting place.
