Patterson of Wellington. Tex., "as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 100 pounds, in spite of doctor's treatment for two years.

Chapiil Smith, an old resident of this town, died at the residence of George Lumley, near Ringwood on Friday last. Edward Brahan, who has been West the past three or four years, has been shaking hands with old friends and acquaintances here the past week. The two years old daughter of Clar­ ence Colby died on Monday night after several days of severe illness. Diph­ therial croup is said to have been the difficulty. The Washington's birthday party at the Riverside House on Monday last was attended by ninety-six couples, and all report one of the pleasantest times of the season. L. A. Parker has Sold his residence and one lot in this village to Elisha Hubbard. Consideration, 11,300. Mr. Parker will build a new house the eoming summer on the lot west of the one sold to Mr. Hubbard. At the auction sale of Elisha and Charles Hubbard on the 12th, P. K. Granger proved himself one of the best auctioneers in this section. He sold in a little less than three hours $1,700 worth of property, and on nearly every­ thing offered, from stock to farming tools, the best prices were obtained. McHenry now boasts of the best band in McHenry county. The boys are practicing regularly and their playing shows ihat they are profiting thereby. They treated our citizens to some very fine music on the streets a few even­ ings since. As we said before the Mc­ Henry Military band stands in the front rank. Burglars or sneak thieves again paid some of our citizens a visit last week, Bishop and Hanly's mills and the Cen­ tral meat market being visited. While in this instance the amount of the loss is but small, still the fact remains that we have such sneaking scoundrels in our midst and some means should be taken to ferret them out, and when found let an example be made that will be a warning to all such hereafter.
