His remains were interred in !the Johnsburgh Cemetery on Sunday. V • 1 IT is said that a bunch of clover bung Bp in a sitting room will clear it of flies, it would not cost a great amouut of ^ r; trouble to try it--although it is reason- ! able sure that Jack Frost is about the oolv fellow who does a good symmetrical job in the fly clearing line. A TE^AH clergyman about to be ap- pointed chaplain of the penitentiary * preached a farewell sermon to his con­ gregation, which had treated him rath­ er- shabbily. There was nothing in the sermon at which any one could take offense, but some of the newest members of the congregation did not like the text which was: ' I go to prepare a place for you, so that where I am ye may be also." THE man is a rarit y these days of whom it can be said, "there areno flies on him," for they are everywhere; but twentv drops of carbolic acid evaporated from a shovel, says an exchange, will banish them from a room quicker than all the ? . sticky liy paper in existence. A small 1 ^• piece of camphor gum held over a lamp till it is consumed, will also do the work well. . v . OVER at Streator they have invented a new kind of social amusement. It is called an "avoirdupois party." All the girls are weighed and the weight of each ' fc*'"girl is written upon a piece of paper and put into a hat, and the young men draw. The youug man must go to supper with the girl whose weight he draws, and must pay for her supper at^p*e-half cent per pound. It is very exciting,^so far a8 the young men are concerned. PBBSOKAI..

There will be preaching at the Univer- salist church next Sunday morning, Aug,, 24th. Mr. Slade's subject will be, "Adam and his Posterity." He is desirous of meeting the Trustees and as many of the friends as possible. Will the children of the Sunday School be present to talk over the matter of a picnic to come off some time during the week. We are hopiug to see every one who will expect to e LET every man pawte this in his hat, and study it, too. The illustration of the wagons is a good one. It hits us all: If times are hard there is no better aid to keep the machinery of life easily turning than the payment of small bills promptly. Yet this simple lubricator is what a great many people neglect to use. The mis­ chief of the neglect is that to withhold money in one case withholds itin another and so on through a long line. When one wagon is stopped by an obstruction in the road, other wagons behind it, are stopped too. Pay up your bills, promptly. Your creditor is in his turn a debtor. By this means money may be kept mov­ ing, which is what is now very much needed. Almost Another Fire. f About six o'clock on Thursday evening last our citizens were startled again by that dread alarm of fire, which was found to be in the cold storage of John Evan- son & Co., on the West Side. They had been candleing eggs and ft is supposed left their light burning, which in some way ignited the straw aud shavings, set­ ting the building onfire. Fortuuately it was discovered in time, and with theaid of oneof the Chemical Engines andtheextra exertions of a large number of men who were early on the spot, the fire was ex- tingi^hed with a loss of only about $75. W ith the extreme dry weather had the fire happened in the night and got under full headway, the west part of our village would have to-day been a smouldering ruin. The loss is, we believe, fully cover­ ed by insurance. /i / P* I ft I Rt We learn that a number of boys, for pure cussedness only, amused themselves a few eveuings since by throwing stones, Rticks, pumpkins, etc., into the yards and against the houses of some of our citi- was, much to their annoyance. Now ' v these smarties should bear this one fact mind and that is that this thing will .l^will not be tolerated. They are known and a repetition of the act will lead a punishment that will be a warning them ever after. inown ad to 2 ng to.r y 'HE following is said to be a sure cure for hay fever, and is highly recommended by one who has used it: Take a piece of camphor gum about the size of a hickory nut, cut it up fine, place it in a cup, and fill the cup with boiling wq,ter. Place the cup under the nose and inhale the steam, drawing it up hard into the head and down the throat. Do this for about ten minutes; in an hour or BO repeat it. In­ hale this steam or vapor as often as is necessary, as it is perfectly harmless, and If the results are the same as they were in nay case you will be entirely cured in one day. _ assortment of Pipes, Cigars and Tobacco, at Barbiaa Brou.

JOHN EVANSON & Co. THE "Crystal Slipper" will enter upon the second last week of its phenomenal career at the Chicago Opera House next Sunday evening. The run of the piece up to the present time has- been 2(5 weeks, a period never exceeded by any production outside of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. The longest runs scored in these cities were by the "Black Crook,'" "Erminie," "Adonis," and "The Little Tycoon." The longest run everscored in Chicago previous to the advent of the "Crystal Slipper," was that of the "Ara­ bian Nights," which ran thirteen weeks. ' Bluebeard Jr.," which by the way will -Hollow the "Crystal Slipper"' at the Chi- , Vago Opera House, has scored 19 weeks in Chicago. l*he extraordinary run of the "Crystal Slipper is due to the skillful management of an extremely meritorious production, the lavish expenditure of money and the constant changes which are taking place in the production. A number of new features are promised for the last week. Azella,the Flying Dancer, who was brought to this country for the great Madison Square Garden, will ap­ pear at the Chicago Opera House Sept. 1st. She has been the sensation of Paris, Berlin and Vienna for two seasons, and the performance is described as being of a most extraordinary character. Mile. Paris dancer, will also be seen. An en­ tirely new transformation scene will be substituted for the elaborate affair which now concludes the performance. It is en­ titled the "Fleeting Seasons," and is original in its design and strictly novel in its conception. A number of the Cory­ phees brought over from Europe for the Madison Square Garden will join the or­ ganization. The receipts of "The Crys­ tal Slipper" for the past five weeks have been phenomenally heavy, and the entire summer season has been of a most profit- ble character. The final performance of the piece will be given Sept. 6th, and Bluebeard Jr." will be produced in its original entirety, but with a new com­ pany the following evening. First class in every respect, have sent E. Lawlus, Tailor, three hundred more samples of their cloths, to take orders and measure men for suits. Good fits und low prices on the very best goods in the market is what you want and no humbug. E. LAWLUS. Opposite Riverside Hotel. se -A.
