She had been sick the past two weeks with Typhoid Pneumonia, but no one supposed that she was dangerous, and therefore the announcement of her death was a shock to all. Her funeral will be held this Wed­ nesday afternoon from the Universalist Vjhurch. I We shall publish an obituary next week. OWING to the crowded state of our columns with advertising, we are obliged to cfirtail our reading matter somewhat this week, but shall next week commence issuing a supplement, so that we shall not be obliged to encroach on the space of our readers in the future. Live men have learned the value of the PLAIN- DEALER'S columns as an advertising medium, and as can be seen by a glance at our crowded columns, are taking every inch of spare room. . As we will not encroach on the space of our readers we shall enlarge our space next week to-ac­ commodate all. WE are pleased to announce that Miss iBennett, of New York, who comes to us fhighly recommended, Ijaving sold goods , ten years in a general store, will take charge of our McHenry business.

There is an eastern legend to the effect that the last hours of Methuselah were embittered by the recollection of having borrowed one 950 years previously and kept it all that time without making any effort to And the owner. Better take back the one you retain in y out** guilty possession, "Subscriber," and seek not by legal technicalities or fine span theo­ ries of right and wrong to quiet the up braiding of an uneasy conscience.

The earliest on record in the century was in 1845, when it occur­ red on March 23. The latest in the cen­ tury was in the year 1813, when Easter came on April 29. In 1866 and 1878 it occurred on April 21 making with 1889 three times in the century that it has fixed itself at this date. In the year 1900 it comes on April 15. The earliest date of Easter Sunday in the twentieth century will be in the year 1940, on March 6. Ash Wednesday is always 46 days before Easter. Next year Easter comes on April 15. AN agricultural paper says: "Every paper in the United States ought to occasionally keep the fact before its readers that burnt corn is a sure cure for hog cholera. The best way is to take a pile of corn and effectually scorch and give the effected hogs free access to it. This remedy was discovered by E. E. Doke at the time his distillery was burnt in Lewiston, together with a lot of stored corn, which was so badly injured as to he unfit for use. It was greedily eaten by the hogs, several of which were dying daily. After the sec­ ond day not a hog was lost, and the disease entirely disappeared. The rem­ edy has been tried in a number of cases since and has never failed." THE world is really better than many people with poor digestions would have us believe. Many noble deeds are daily proving this, so far as the American people are concerned. If a calamity overtakes a community, and the worldly possessions of the inhabitants are swept away by flood, or destroyed by fire, a sympathetic chord is at once struck in the heart of every country, and contribu­ tions are made with lavish hands. Our people love law and order; they love fairness and justice; and if at times it might seem that these sentiments were crushed or deadened, it is because ottir people are perhaps too much a hurrying race of ambitious mortals so intent upon battling for a goodly share of worldly goods, that they need a calamity to call them from this carelessness regarding the well-being of their neighbors. THE Quarterly Meeting of the II. E. Church for McHenry and Ringwood will be held next Saturday and Sunday the 20th and 21st inst. The following is the order of services.

Church, McHeniy and Ringwood. Wall Paper and Borders, new style, cheapest at Perry & Owen's, and trim' mud free of THE Waukegan Patriot has the follow­ ing to say in relation to the new Post­ master .in that city: "Murray has got the postoffioe" was an interesting bit of news that flew around town very fast last Wednesday morningv It proved to be true, as on Thursday President Har­ rison had appointed Clarence A. Murray as Postmaster at Waukegan to succeed James Moran, Jj\, reigned. The ap­ pointment was no surprise to those on the inside, as the race had narrowed down to Messrs. Murray and Flagg, and Murray had the most influence as it proved and captured' the plum. Our next postmaster was in a happy frame of mind that day as might be imagined and was the recipient of congratulations by the wholesale from his friends. In the evening the band boys came out and serenaded Mr. Murray at the Waukegan House, a lArge crowd being also present. The appointment is a satisfactory one and comes to Clarence as a recognition of the work he has done in the past cam­ paigns for his party. He is widely known as the jolly landlord of the Wau­ kegan House, and as Postmaster ought to shine in the same genial way lor the whole town. •> EASTER PARTY. • At the McHenry House, McHenryy lll.

It is supposed by many that our com­ modious school building was built for educational purposes, for the benefit of the tax payers of the district, but it ap­ pears that two of the board of directors think otherwise, as Mrs. Frank Slater was refused admittance for two evenings a week to instruct her class in German. Mrs. Slater is a refined and educated lady and recently left without support has adopted this course to earn a living, and it seems strange that here in her home the use of a school room should be denied, her when at Genoa and Richmond she was heartily accorded these privi­ leges, and also at McHenry if she had so desired. The class is composed of a num­ ber of the pupils of the day school and others who reside in the district, and the opportunity offered is a rare on? to ob­ tain a knowledge of the German lan­ guage.
