He is a man of experience in the pro*- fession and should receive his share of the patronage of McHenry people. Dr. Auringer will leave tomorrow for Sa­ vanna, HI., where he will bang out his shingle. It is with th« deepest regret that his regular patients and friends witness his departure from this city. During his nine 'years of practice here be has been successful both profes­ sionally and financially, having won the" confidence of his patients and the esteem of all his friends and acquaintances. By his quiet dignity and yet cheerful man­ ner he is ever a welcome visitor in the sick room, and through his skill many trying and complicated cases have been conquered. Both Mr. and Mrs. Aurin­ ger have been active workers in the Methodist church and their absence from the choir will be regretted by the oengiegatloih' " A few weeks ago the Harvard papers told about a woman doctor in Chicago taking several lizards out of the «tom- achof Orrin Carpenter, of that city, which she said had been lodged there for several years, and last week The Herald said that "Richard Crook, of Hartland, was in' Harvard recently and to lriends he told of his experience in having four lizards taken frcm bis stomach by Dr. Sarah DeLoss, of Chi­ cago." And now the Woodstock Sentinel says that Adam Phul, a German resid­ ing near the state line, tells his exper­ ience in having two sea serpents re­ moved from his stomach. For ten years he was a great sufferer fr.im in­ digestion, causing severe pains in his stomach, great thirst and a ravenous appetite. The thirst was oftentimes unbearable and' required enormons 'quantities of fluids to quench it (what kind of fluids the Teuton sayeth not.) .He consulted Dr. Minerva Goll, of Mil­ waukee, who told him hie trouble was due to snakes in his stomach. On tak­ ing the doctor's medicine, two hideous- looking sea serpents were expelled, measuring over eight feet 111 length, We can not doubt the above state­ ments for the gentlemen all have the reptiles preserved in alcohol which is proof enough for anyone. There never was a McHenry' man foolish enough to even make the at­ tempt at raising a menagerie in his stomach, but we have in mind a man (he desires that his name be not men­ tioned, probably from a sense of modesty) who has undergone an ex­ perience that will put the above men tioned incidents in the shade For more than a year he had eaten nothing, but for all that he never seemed to get hungry, nor did he seem to get thin. He could not eat and bis case baffled the best medical skill. In the morning he always awoke with an apple leaf in his month, but how it came there he coujd never tell. One night however he was awakened by a peculiar sensa­ tion in his throat, and as he grew worse a doctor was summoned. An operation was necessary. What was the surgeon's surprise to find a well-developed ap^le tree in the man's stomach, loaded with apples. Many apples qad fallen and were partly digested, which of course accounted for his lack of appetite. Tb& highest branch of the tree had worked its way up into the patients throat, causing the peculiar sensation. Don't believe this unless you wish, but just the same this man has the apples that were hanging to the tree when it was removed frotO his stomach, which should be proof enpugh. It is likely that he had swallowed a seed, and it would not digest any better than the lizard and snake eggs. -'At nine o'clock Wedneeday morning before the altar at St. John's church, at Johnsburgh, Rev. Fr. Mehring pro­ nounced the words that united Mr. Joseph Freund and Miss Katie Bugener in the holy bonds of wedlock. The magnificent church was nearly filled with friends and relatives of the happy young couple. Misses Maryf Freund anfdrMaggie King acted as bridesmaids; the groom being attended by Messrs. Jacob Freund and John Bugener. The bride wore a gown of light colored material trimmed with white silk and ribbon. The maids were attired in light green cassimere, trimmed with white silk and lace applique. The groom and his attendants wore the .cus­ tomary black. The bride is the oldest daughter of Mrs. Anna Bugener, oif Johnsburgh. and has the respect and edbeem of all her acquaintances. Thee groom, youngest son of Mrs. Anna Freund.is a y.onng man of sterling worth and integrity, possessing tho«e traits that make the good American citizen. Dinner and supper were served at the home of the bride, and the tables fairly groaned under their load of good things. As tokens of esteem the bridal pair were presented many beautiful gifts, both useful and ornamental. In the evening a dance was given in the McHenry House hall in their honor. Mr. and Mrs. Freund will commence house-keeping at once on a farm near Johnsburgh. Through all life's jour­ ney they will be followed by the best wishes of hundreds of friends. ITniversallst Baiiar.

U. are working like beavers, and the sucoess of the affair is an assured fact. The city hall has been engaged for the occasion. One of the features will be a rummage sale. Refreshments will be served at all hoars of the day and evening and it is a conceded fact that the ladies of the Universalist church know how to cater to a hungry man's appetite. An excellent program of a musical nature Will take plaOe qtth evening. A Neglected Cavalier. A goodly sized audience greeted Dr. Fox at Stoffel'e hall last Saturday even­ ing and enjoyed his lecture, "A Neg­ lected Cavalier." He is undoubtedly the most entertaining speaker that ever appeared before a McHenry audience, and those who were instrumental in securing him are deserviqg of as mnch credit as Dr. Fox himself. The lecture was of a historical nature and in relating the events and incidents of the life of Sir ^Walter Raleigh enough wit and humor was introduced to maintain the uuuivided attention of the most careless listener. In describing the historical scenes, more particularly the execution of rRafeigh and the de •struction of the Spanish Armada, his word painting was simply grand. Through the effect of his oratorical powers one could almost see the events as they transpired. Dr. Fox is a fine looking man, has a good figure and a commanding presence, holding the at­ tention of bis andience at all timea Those who failed to hear him have missed a treat that comes their way very seldom For Ouvernnient Service.
