Married, at the church in Johns- burgh, Tuesday, Nov. 9, 1886, by the Rev. Father Mehring, John Buch to Miss Lucy Simmons, both of McHenry The question of having a night watch in the east part of the village to guard against fires is being agitated. The West Side is employing one and we think it a wise thing to do. It could be paid by subscription and would be a light burden upon each one. Let the matter be pushed forward. Died--In this village, on Monday, Nov. 8, 1886, of consumption, Miss Bertha Hollister, aged 28 years. She has made her home for the past four­ teen years with the family of James B. Perry, Esq., in this village, and was cherished and loved as an own daugh­ ter and will be missed and mourned as such. We understand that the higher de­ partment of the Nunda public school now has fifty-four regular scholars, tw enty of whom are from outside of the district, six being from McHenry. This at $5 each per term makes $100 per term benefit which this school de­ rives from having a first-class school. Now the question naturally arises, why is it that these benefits, both of reve­ nue and having a good school, are denied McHenry? It is a question that is daily asked by our citizens. " The Standard Theatre company, which is composed mostly of McHenry talent, has announced to give two en­ tertainments at Riverside hall in this village on Friday and Saturday even­ ings of next week, Nov. 19 and 20, at which time they will bring out the beautiful drama of "The Dead Wit­ ness," together with a variety per­ formance that will excel anything ever before witnessed in this section. Cut­ ter-edge and Going will appo§r in their specialty acts. C. Rausoh will give one of his celebrated zither solos, which alone will be worth the price of ad­ mission. Little Miss Nettie Schiessle will sing some of her beautiful songs and others will appear in songs, duets, etc. In short, it will be one of the finest entertainments ever brought out in McHenry and no one should fail to go and see it. E. B. Perkins' orches­ tra of six pieces will furnish music for the occasion. NOV. 17, 1886. A child of John Crouse, aged about four weeks, was buried today (Wed­ nesday). C. W. Slafter and wife rejoice at the arrival of an eight and one-half pound boy at their residence on Thursday last. Both the steamers, the Mary and Mamie, are at their docks in this vil­ lage, having discontinued regular trips for this season.

Granger, has accepted a position with the Wilbur Lumber company and has charge of their yard at Antioch. He was accompanied by Larry Welsh. John Heimer has grown two feet in height since Sunday last. Cause there arrived at his house on Saturday night a boy weighing twelve pounds. Mother and child are doing well, but we ain't so sure about John. But then he'll get used to it. Thanksgiving services will be held at the Universalist church Nov. 25 at 10:30 a. m., when appropriate decora­ tions will be placed around the altar By a vote of the congregation an in­ vitation has been given to pastor and people of the other church to hold union services. Mrs. Salisbury, daughter of J. Mun son, met with a severe accident at her father's residence in this village on Monday last. She was assisting to raise a pump from the well when it fell, striking her on the shoulder, knocking her down and severely in­ uring her back. She is now under the care of Dr. Brown. The hog trade is again booming in this village this week. On Tuesday F. K. Granger received two hundred and ten, and C. T. Eldredge about sev­ enty-five, Granger shipping three cars and Eldredge one, and on Wednesday (today) Eldredge ships two cars more. These two buyers wijl ship ten cars from this station this week. The average price per hundred paid on Tuesday was 93.20. THE BLIZZAKD ARRIVED. The predicted blizzard reached Mc­ Henry early last Sunday morning and as our people awakened from their night's slumber they were greeted by one of the breeziest blizzards that has ever visited us. The sudden change from Saturday, when men were seen walking the streets in their shirt sleeves, was more than many cared to greet and the wise ones remained in doors all day. The coal man was on the job bright and early Monday morn­ ing and Bince that time he has been the most popular man in McHenry. aking Powder ade from Grapes Al t Advertisement* inserted under thin head at the following rate*: Fire lines or less, 86 cents for first Insertion; IS cents for each subsequent insertion.

We have just been informed of a large cucumber that was raised on the farm of Mat Schafer, north of this vil­ lage, this summer. The cucumber, we are told, measured eighteen inches in length and twelve inches in circum­ ference. It was not weighed, so we are unable to give its weight. The curiosity was exhibited at the meat market of Ben Schafer in Chicago a short time after it was found. Read The Plaindealer. The Hon. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, representing the United States government, in the formal open­ ing of the show some years ago, spoke in part as follows: "The Chicago International Live Stock exposition is the most magnifi­ cent expression of progressive breed- ipg and feeding that there ever lias been in the history of any country. "At present they do things around here, and the thing they are doing here is to help us toward the develop­ ment of the domestic animals of the United States, as it is the greatest in­ terest in America. "The meeting you have here now, gentlemen, on this ground is one of the most magnificent examples of progress in the world's history. What a long time we waited for all this! Forty years ago congress endowed agricultural stations, and experimental stations later, for the purpose of help­ ing the farmer toward the establish­ ment of the science of breeding and feeding, among other things, and what an illustration we have today with re­ gard "to the latter. Our people are beginning to learn something about feeding. Take one of our crops, 2,500,- 000,000 bushels of cornfrown this year, which is to go to market, the greater part of it thru our domestic animals. But our people are learning how to feed economically and to prevent waste. "The most, interesting feature of this exhibit to me, gentlemen, is the presence of those college boys. Chica­ go, with all its millions, could not have got fifty-five agricultural college boys here six years ago. They were not in America or Canada then--men who know how to score cattle as these young men have scored, and are scar­ ing, and will score them thruout thifc exposition. It means that we will go to the front as a people with regard to the production of meats." The dates of this year's show are from December 2 to 9, and many new attractions have been added in connec­ tion with this year's events. TWO GREAT ANNUAL EVENTS IN CHICAGO.
