HENRY KEI ON Tharsday and Friday last, this section was visited by a severe northeast snow storm, accompanied by a heavy wind. Snow fell to the depth of a foot or over and at places was piled into high drifts, making traveling with teams al­ most impossible. We are just now ex­ periencing the worst roads of the season. THE "Crystal Slipper*' is shortly to be revived at the Chicago Opera House with everything new--music, costumes, scen­ ery, ballet, and libretto. An effort will be made to surpass the spectacular glories of "Bluebeard Jr.," but it will be a difficult task for the management to accomplish, as in "Bluebeard Jr." the limit of magnificence seems to be reached. THERE is a new counterfeit ten-cent piece in circulation, which so closely re­ sembles the genuine coin that it can be easily passed off upon the unsuspecting. It differs from the usual counterfeit in that a genuine silver plating covers the German silver which forms the body of the jsoin. Thin gives it a "ring" very nearly like that of good money, and also does away with the greasy feeling by which most counterfeits can be detected. The coin bears the date of 1887.

CHAPELL * MOBTON, Algonquin, adver­ tise an Auction of a car of cows, for Tues­ day next, April 8th, at their stock Barns, in that village. MARRIED, At McHenry, 111., March 29th, 1890, by J. B. Perry, Esq., Samuel S. Johnson and Miss Jennie Walsh, both of Wauconda, III. . THE present engagement of "Bluebeard Jr." at the Chicago Opera House is the last opportunity for people in Chi­ cago and vicinity to see this most brill­ iant spectacular extravaganza A PHILOSOPHER declares that thereason ! why newspaper men have such clear and ; sensible ideas on all subjects is because tbey are never wearied or broken down by the cares of wealth. JEO. W. BESLEV has opened a News loom at his Drug Store, and will keep all tie Daily and Weekly Papers, latest rMagazines, etc., and deliver promptly to jubscribersy Read his notice in another placettfTliis paper, BOYS who are now killing song birds in and around this village, should bear in mind the fact that there is a law against this thing, with a severe penalty at­ tached, aud that it will be enforced, they will find to their sorrow, if this wicked practice is not stopped at once. «0! €'• ' * > 4' • AM exchange gets off the following: the clothes press is a Bwell affair for gar­ ments nice and neat; the hay press is a grand machine aud docs its works com­ plete; the cider press is lovely with its juciesrich and sweet; but the printing press controls the world, and gets there with both feet."

J? f ' THE village of Barrington suffered from a serious fire, Sunday night, March 23d. The hotel known as the Bennett House and five other buildings were entirely consumed, and one man lost his life in the flames. The origin of the Are is sup­ posed to be the upsetting of a lamp in the room of the unfortunate who per­ ished. It is a very heavy loss for so small a village, and one that will be felt by the citizens. A FLORIST has said this: "Don't paint the flower pots, because the more porous the pot is the better, and paint fills the pores and keeps out the air and keeps the water in. The chief failure in grow­ ing banging plants is they are not given sufficient amount of water because, perhaps it is difficult to get at them. The best plan is to put them into a tub or sink and sprinkle them until the soil is thoroughly wet." THE New York Ledger for March 22d contains the first installment of an Irish story of to-day, by Harold Frederic, which will set the hearts of Irishmen on fire. The story is called "The Martyrdom of Maev." The name of the heroiue is Maev. She is a beautiful and accom­ plished girl, and it is her martyrdom, suf­ fered for her lover's sake, which is de­ scribed. The story is full of intensely in­ teresting incident, and is told with a sim­ plicity and pathos which go straight to the heart. GILBERT & SULLIVAN'S latest and greatest 'success, "The Gondoliers," is now in the height of its success in Lon­ don, New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Cincinnati. "The Gondoliers" will soon be seen at the Chicago Opera House for a limited engagement. Manager Henderson's company has been greatly improved since it was seen in Chicago. Miss Louise Montague and W. H. Fitz gerald are the latest acquisitions. Miss Montague is a favorite in burlesque, and she has just returned 4rom Paris, where she has been studying two years for grand opera. The piece is magnificently mounted, and the costumes are pro­ nounced the finest ever seen in light op­ era in this country. I Grove J um \ mond, 111., i * OBITUARY. Mrs. Ellen Bogart was born at Spring GrovpJunelO, 1856, and died at Rich- Friday, March 27th, 1890. The deceased was the daughter of Wm. and Sally Watts, and her life has been spent in the yicinity of Spring Grove and Richmond. Nov. 19th, 1875 she was married to W. W. Bogart, and leaves to his care one son nine years of age. This is the fourth time death has recently en­ tered this home, her father dying Aug. 30, 1888, Mrs. Jackson (a sister) June 13th last and her mother March 10th. The mother died at the residence of Mrs. Goodwin, a daughter, and the evening pf her death Mrs. Bogart had gone to re­ main there over night, when she was taken suddenly and severely sick, apd was un­ able to be removed home previous to her death. She almost immediately pro noipced"ber sickness a fatal one, and ar­ ranging all business matters to her wishes, calmly waited for the change that was to Come. Fearlessly and hope fully she entered the vale of death. The funeral services were held at her recent home in Richmond village, Sunday at 10 a. m. being conducted by Rev. Wm. A. ^r(,aai and attended by a large concourse of weeping relatives, and sympathizing friend.s Mrs. Bogart was a cheerful, in­ dustrious woman and will be greatly missed among us. %r Don't forget that in Evanson's closing out sale you will find new wall paper, new lace curtains, new oil shades, new f&amm SIMM*--everythiiat W axui fre^>4 no old Stock ot any kiad! • qfewja Sfcatififr in KcHeary. Town Meeting passed off in an unus nally quiet manner here on Tuesday, only 323 votes being polled, a little more than half the vote of the town. This probably can be accounted for by the bad condi­ tion of the roads. The only real contest was on Supervisor, the balance of the names on the two tickets being the same. F. K. Granger headed the Peoples'Ticket for Supervisor, and Geo. W. Besley the Citizens' Ticket. The result was the election of Mr. Granger by * majority of 21. The following is the vote in FOR SUPERVISOR.

Soon we'll see the red- cheeked maiden and her brother Johnny spadin' in their mother's flower garden, and a-rakin' up the yard. These and other signs will tempt us (and the doctor won't exempt us) to remove our winter flannels, and our summer clothes to don --and--when our last wish has been granted, and our friends have got us planted, we won't need our winter flan­ nels, but we'll wish w'd kept'em on. AN exchange meets us every week with the startling inquiry. "Do you wear pants?" About half of our population will answer in the affirmative, confessing to the practice of appearing in public with those convenient bifurcate*] garments. Tbey are an evidence of civilization. We are not naked savages. But another very important part of our population will look upon this direct interrogatory with suspicion, if not with actual resent­ ment. It is not a question that concerns a newspaper. It shows a spirit of imperii nent curiosity. HENBY E. DIXEY and the most com­ plete burlesque company ever seen in America, will come to the Chicago Opera House on April 7th for a brief engage­ ment with Dixey's latest success, "The Seven Ages." The success of "The Seven Ages" in New York was so great that it has been played at the Standard Theater in that city for months.' The production is under the direction of Edward E. Rice, author of "Evangeline," "The Corsair," etc. It is said that no burlesque com­ pany ever brought together has con tained so many popular comedians and beautiful women. The latter, in fact, have always been the lending element in" Mr. Rice's companies. Mr. Dixey ap­ pears as the representation of each of Shakespe&re's "Seven Ages," from an in­ fant in a baby carriage to a feeble old man in nis second ehildhood. It is said to be the cleverest piece of wtjrk that this inimitable actor has ever done. Visit Evanson's closing out sale next week.

This may be considered the best brief work on the subject published. It con­ tains new illustrations prepared especial­ ly for this volume, showing the exact lo­ cation of each of the phrenological organs, and full description of their functions in the various degrees of development, and those organic conditions which affect and indicate character. It is a complete hand-book of the subject which all should possess who would acquire a knowledge of human nature as indicated in the dead and Face and the physical constitu­ tion.

J Well Stated. Those who read a newspaper should bear in mind the great variety of tastes it is necessary for its editor to consult. A man whose attention is devoted ex­ clusively to farming and agricultural pursuits will find no special interest in lo­ cal town gossip, and the numerous read­ ers in town will find no special pleasure in readiug a purely agricultural article. A cultivated old man will be disgusted at the silly story that will captivate the il­ literate or the children. Women are not always satisfied with political news and men care little forthe latest fashion items. Old ladies will throw down a paper in contempt that contains a discriptive ac­ count of an elegant party wherein toilet­ tes are given, while on the other hand nothing will quicker strike the fancy of a society young lady. Sor&e readers of the graver sort may be disgusted at reports of parties and social gatherings; who ar­ rive home and who leave town, while many will read nothing else in the paper. And so it works. Please remember then, when you see irticles in a newspaper that do not suit your fancy, that you are only one of several thousand, old and young, male and female, wise and illiterate, whose tastes have to be consulted in a newspajjer's general makeup. Bead what suits you and pass the distasteful items over to those wh<? find the greatest pleasure in that which you reject.--St. Peter Herald. CHEAP DRIED FRUITS.
