Many thousand dollars were involved and the battle was a hard one, Casey being opposed by the ablest legal talent in our Circuit. This case, with the Flusky case, and a number of other large cases won by him marks him as one of the ablest trial Lawyers in our Circuit. He is a fine speaker. Township Sunday School Convention. The McHenry - Township Sunday School Convention will be held in Wheel­ er's grove at McHenry 111., Saturday June 25th. A splendid programmo is being arranged. The session will open at 10 A. M., afternoon session, at 2 p. M. Bring your lunch and spend a pleasant day. CELEBRATION AT RINGWOOD- Ringwood, being a patriotic town, will celebrate. Money sufficient for a good display of fire works ha« been raised, and other necessary expenses will be provided for. A good orator has been secured. The programme has been arranged and will be published in full next week. t Bills will be sent out at once. Come out and celebrate the Fourth at Ringwood. M'HENRY. WILL NOT CELEBRATE. We believe it has finally been decided not to have any regular celebration in McHenry the coming Fourth. The past two years McHenry done herself proud in this line and it is no more than right that she should lay by this time and give neighboring towns a chance. For this and other reasons we think it is well that McHenry does not celebrate this year. THE Musicale by Miss Browne and pupils, at Stoffel's Hall, on Saturday evening last, was not largely attended, but was pronounced by aii who were there to have been one of the finest musi­ cal entertainments that has been listened to in this village for many a day. The pupils showed a degree of perfection that speaks well for their teacher, and all done their part in the programme in a manner highly creditable. The piano solo by Mrs. Browne, a lady over seventy years of age, was spoken of by our best music­ ians as something remarkable. As we said before it was an entertainment highly creditable to all who participated. The Prizes!

On Thursday afternoon last eleven of the young men 1)f this village went to Woodstock, were examined, accepted and sworn in to the United States service as privates in Uncle Sam's army. The same day Ijhey were taken to Rockford where they joined other recruits, and on Friday started for Camp Thomas, Chick- am auga Park, Georgia, where they joined their regiment, the 3d Illinois Infantry. They arrive*? at Camp Thomas on Saturday night or early Sunday morning, and thusln less than four days after leaving home they entered upon actual soldier life. The names of those who went were: Frank Bennett, Albert Willey, Herbert Bennett, Chas. Swadisch, Albert Holly, M. J. Thelen, Jesse M. Van Slyke, George Enelen, Wm Rothermel, Nye W. Colby. Martin Thelen. There were three others who enlisted, namely, Jacob Leickem, Joseph Schu- binger and Ole the Swede, but who were thrown out on examination. That they may all come back when this "cruel war is over" as happy and itf as good health aud spirits as when they went away, is the wish of every good citizen We shall keep our readers posted as to their whereabouts and doings from time to time. THE IDLE HOUR STOCK CO, The above named company are adver­ tised to give one of their superb enter­ tainments at Riverside Hall, on Friday evening of this Veek, at which time they will present a triple bill consisting of three one act plays. They come highly recommended by both the public and the press, and we can give them no better notice than by copying what has been said of them where they have been. The Morris. III., Sentinel says: Those who were preeent have nothing but words of praise for the excellent entertainment given. The company is compoved of Misses lmalda Grace and Lonergan, and Messrs. Wm. Dill and Henry Hall. Miss Ella McCoy, pianist. The entertainment consisted of three one act dramas, "Uncle's Will," "His Toast" and "On An Island," Each piede is re­ plete with wit, humor and pathos and each character was ably represented, showing1 careful study in the dramatic art. The plays are devoid of coarseness and levity that often characterizes per­ formances. The following iti the cast: "UNCLE WILL" Chas. Cashmore Mr. Dill Mr. Baker Henry HalT Florence Marygold .Miss lmalda Grace "HIS TOAST" Ralph Briscoe Mr. Hall Sir Algernon.. Mr. Dill Lady Calverly Miss Lonergan Lucy Briscoe Miss lmalda Grace "ON AN ISLAND" Jock Carljle Mr. Hall Nellie Garland Miss Grace SENSIBLE THING TO DO. A number of our exchanges have Bug gestions that, instead of wasting large sums of money this year on 4th of July celebration, the funds be used for the benefit of the boys at the front. The Albany (N. Y.) Journal says that "when this war :s over and the soldiers return who have gone forth to fight, then we will have a celebration that will move the coldest and most undemonstrative. This year we can afford to forgo the us­ ual Fourth of July celebration and send the money which would have been sub­ scribed therefor to our soldiers, who are suffering many privations. This suggestion has met with much public favor. It should be adopted, and let our soldier boys be so provided on July 4th that they may know they are tender­ ly remembered at home." This is good sense. Patrio ism could take no form more practical and effective than contributions for the comfort of the troops at the front. This was the way that many communities observed the 4th of July during the civil war, and it is pleasing to note that there is a dispo­ sition, in many parts of the country, to follow the example during the present war.--Sentinel. We endorse every word of the above. To talk of a celebration this late hour is mere nonsense. THE Liberty ville Independent, in speak­ ing of the Idle Hour Stock Company says: "Tly^^ntertainment given in Libertyville was a meritorious success, not only sociably but also financially. It was conceded by all who were in at­ tendance to be the best programme ever given in this place. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity." At Riverside Hall on Friday evening of this week, June 24th. THE Sub. District Camp Meeting will be held in Wheeler's grove, McHenry, June 26th , to July 3rd. Dr. Vanhorne will preach once a day and both morning and evening of each Sunday. Friday will bf> young people's day. {Sunday July 3, will be communion di^y. Bros. Duttouj Lock, Cross.

THE Bible Institute at Chicago offers an unusual attraction to the Bible stu­ dents this summer. Mr. Moody has ar­ ranged with Rev. James M. Gray* D. D., of Boston, who started the Synthetic Method of Bible Study which has proven so popular, to conduct a special course from June to October. He will take the class through the whole Bible in that time, and also give instruction at differ­ ent hours of the day, in the Christian evidences, and in the preparation of ad­ dresses and Bible readings. The design is to furnish a certificate to those who pass satisfactory examinations in the work, a feature]which is attracting a large number of missionaries, evangelists antj young pastors. Arrangements are being made also to accommodate public school teachers who can not enter before the close of June, but who .can make up the back work and obtain the certificate if desired.

It is fear­ ed he is not living, and a reward of one hundred dollars is offerd any one finding his body. Mr. Armstrong had recently moved to Nunda, from Freeport, 111., and was a man of exemplary habits, a member of the Methodist chnroh, and respected by all who knew him. He had become very melancholy and despondent, owing to long continued sickness of himself and family, loss of work, and consequent financial troubles, and it is feared if he is still living, that he has lost his mind and wandered away. He left home that morning at the usual hour to go to his shop, and about half an hour later was seen going down the ice track toward the lake. L. Benthusen, the detective, thinks he had trace of him below Dundee the same day, but it is not certain. He may have wandered into the country in a partially demented state and been hired by some farmer. Mr. Armstrong was 42 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches in height, and weig'-ed about 150 pounds, hnd dark brown hair, full sandy beard and mus­ tache. (may have shaved since leaving horn*-). blue eyes, nose glasses. Was dressed in his working clothes, brown coat and vest, grayish pants, soft black hat, black shoes and carried a long black macintosh. If any one has seen such a person will they kindly write at once to Mrs. C. 0. Armstrong, Woodstock, 111. BINDING TWINE. We have just received a large quantity of the Sisal, Standard and N.
