M« ENGELN, Gun Smith, has a change In his advertisement this week, which can be found on the first page. Those interested should not fail to read it. THERE Is a general cry that business Is tat, and men are wondering wheu It will revive. The way to revive busi­ ness is for men to pay their debts. A •till better way is to pay cash down. THIS double-jawed calf, of which we spoke last week, has since died, being unable to take nourishment sufficient to sustain life. Thus Barnurn er "any other man" has lost k rare curiosity. "WHAT becomes of the flies and swallows?" asks an exchange. It is quite true that the butter will not ac­ count for all the flies, but the swallows --they go straight down the throat. Tits next Sociable by the Ladies of die Unlversalist Society has been post­ poned on account of the rehearse Is of •'Esther.** When it Is decided when the next one will be held due notice will be given. GEO. ROSEKBERGER, Barber, can still be found at his old stand, opposite Henry Colby's Drug Store* ready to do you anything In the line of Bartering on abaft notice and in the beat ofman­ ner.

Being crowded with boarders he has finished off auoth- er large and pleasant room, and can ••w accommodate all in the best of manner. WE inadvertently neglected •? last week to acknowledge the present of a very flue fresh Fish, through the cour­ tesy of our able and efficient Street Commissioner, Isaac Wentworth. * Al­ though a little late please accept thanks oil the same. THE second installment of the ~*Rem- tnicence of Old Times'* is unavoidably - crowded out this week, but will ap­ pear next, and will be followed'weekly othe rs until finished. The first letter proved highly interesting and is weH spoken of on ail hands. WE learn that the arrangements are •bout completed and that a Butter and Cheese Factory will certainly be erect­ ed in the Spring, on the site of the old Sorghum Mill, in this village. This will be a good thing both for the far- f^j ***** and business men and we hope to Malt pushed through at once. WE would call the attention of our readers to the now advertisement and locals of Bucklin & Stevens, in our pa­ per this week. They have knocked *"•» everything in the line of Winter Goods to bottom prices, ami are selling 14} pounds of Sugar for One Dollar. Head their " ad " and notices elsewhere. IT waa a line Umbrella and hung en the tence all night, and no thief dared pot his polluted hands upon it. The owner is hereby notified to call and pay for this notice and no questions will be asked. Absent-mindedness like this might lead to absent um­ brella if it wasn't for advertising. ONE of the beueftce nt results of the general stagnation of business is the opportunity it giyes many people to attend to their neighbors business. It's a beautiful thing to see the enthusias­ tic ieadiness with which they spring to the work,and it's a "settler" on the doctrine ot total depravity. Ax the regular meeting or the. Lit­ erary Society, en Saturday evening last, the following officers were* elected • ' for the coming month: President, Hon. •mm.4 GranSer- v,c® President, Hon. Geo. Gage. Secretary, Win. Stevens. Treasurer, C,V.Stevens. Executive •• Committee* J. Van Slyke, S.D.Bald­ win, Goo. A, Bucklin. !%• WHILE men wander Idly over the country complaining of hard times, we know of a man who makes an honest living swapping dog*. And we say it without fear of contradiction, a living Is a good deal to make these times. THE arrangements for bringing out the Cantata of "Esther the Beautiful Queen," has progressed so far as to en­ able us to announce that It will posi­ tively be brought out, the time of which will be duly announced In these col­ umns. The rehearsals will undoubtedly commence this week. v SHALL we have a Rifle Club In'Me- Henry? Richmond organized one last season and now has one of the finest clubs in the State. We have any num­ ber of good shots in this village, and could organize a Club th^t would do us honor. Who will makeit start In the matter? * PRIVATE Ice Houses are being qnite extensively filled in this village this mason. The Brewery, Homer Wattles E. M. Owen, Buck & Wells, and R. E, Waite filled last week, and still there are several more that will go at it at once. It now looks as though we should not be short of the conjealed element when the scorching days preach us. Let us keep cool, > BUSINESS at the Depot is lively, the side tracks being completely blockaded With cars, and an Engine constantly there to handle them. The Increase of business made it necessary for Agent Buss to have an assistant to help him out. Boss is one of the moat faithful and efficient Agents on the line' of the Roau, and any business that comes un­ der his hand is sure to be done prompt­ ly and well. PH. BRUCK, who for the past year has been running the Parker House Barber Shop has *old out to Jacob Hetzell, late of the McHenry House Shop, who has taken possession. "Jake" is a good Barber and the old customers of the Parker House Shop will find him on hand at all times ready to give them-a clean shave and a hair cut in thr latest style. Bruck has gone back to Philadelphia. THE business ot cutting and securing Ice 'Seerfts to have assumed gigantic proportions this season. We learn that Chicago parties have bought the right of the Pond at Richmond, and will commence cutting and shipping at once. They ait also cutting at Genoa, and Geneva Lake, Wis., and in fact at all points where Ice can be obtained. If we don't all enjoy our (--•) cold tea cocktales next Summer it wont be the fault of the Ice men. at any rate. THE Ice business on the Pond Is run­ ning lively this week, there being over one hundred men at work. The Work­ men on the Ice House .have three sec­ tions up and the first section l» nearly filled with 106. ami they aTe also load­ ing an average of fifty cars a day. The lee that they are getting to-day, (Tuesday) Is about 9 inches thick and very fine. Should this weather held it will be still more lively next week. It is a big business and is a great bene­ fit to the working class in this section. MR. DKTWKIJ.ER, of DuPage Connty, a worker in the Temperance cause, de­ livered a Lecture at the Unlversallst Church on Sunday evening last. The house was crowded to Us utmost capac­ ity, and the lecturer handled his sub­ ject In a masterly manner, and was listeued to with marked attention by *14. The subject of Temperance is •ne that has long since been worn thread-bare, and tio wan, no matter how good a speaker, fcao bring out many new points, and Is therefore obliged to **soattei,n a good deal lu or­ der to interest an audience. COSTCMKH FOR THK KAHQUKRAPK. As we noticed last week, those who desire Costumes for the Masquerade on the 8th of Feb. should leave their names at this office. Wadhams & Roundy, of Chicago, will have a Cos- tumerhere on that occasion, who will furnish Costumes of all discriptions at reasonable rates, but it Is desirable that as many as possible leave their names so that some estimate may be made of how many will be needed.-- All costumes furnished will be bran new. A partial list and prices can be seen at tins office. W> are informed that the Washing­ ton Ice Company, of Chicago, have Leased Mycelium's Lake, Just West of the Depot, where they propose to run a side track, build extensive Ice Houses, and ship to Chicago. They had in­ tended to commence operation at once, but we understand that upon examin­ ation they found the soft weather of last week had decreased, the thickness of the Ice to such an extent that it was not practicable. They will undoubt" edlycommence soon when, together with the other company now at work on the Pond, will make business lively aronndatlie Depot. f ' --; f • "«•» ' , ; i * NoticfctW'. WH!LE at BIlvln'8 Mills one day last week we made a very pleasant call at the store of R. Tweed & Son. They are good-natured, wide awake and so­ ciable gentlemen, who have the faculty of making every one seem at home and at their ease. They* hav* a store filled with Dry Goodsl(i Notions," Groceries, Crockery and Glass Ware, and possess- lug an enviable reputation for square dealing are doing a large and increas­ ing business. They keep none but the best of goods and are selling as low as the lowest, quality of goods co aside fed. The Post Office is also kept at this store, where subscriptions are received for all the leading papers and Maga­ zines cf the day, {lie PLAIXUKALDR among the re$t. ' IT has come to our knowledge that in a neighboring town a Donation was to be he:ld.aml on the evening in ques­ tion one of the prominent business men was asked if he Was going, when he replied "Yes, I am £oing to the Donation and take a sack of Flour and a sack of Buckwheat, But mind you net to the Elders, he has enough, and will get mttch more from tlice who will give only tor show. I shall give my Donation to Mr. •'••• a wert'iy poor man who lies sick In bed while his wife and children are suffering for the necessaries of life." And he did* give It. That is our ideal of a Chris­ tian. Would that there were more of the same kind. f ! OLD SKTTLKM* ATTrNtW*. The Executive Committee of the Old Settlers' Organization of McHenry and Lake Counties, will meet at the Riverside House, in the village of Mc­ Henry, on Thursday, Feb. 21st, 1878, at one o'clock p. M., for the purpose of fixing the time and place (or the next Annual ReUniou.and the transaction o such other business as may come be­ fore them. All Old Settlers', and eth­ ers interested in tfte success of the organization are requested fo meet with the committee. , The following are the names of the Committee for the ensuing year: Hon. Richard Bishop, D. S. Smith and Dr. E. A. Beers, of McHenry Coun­ ty; Richard Coinpton, Justice Bangs and Albert Kappel.of Lake County. PER OltUER. THERE IS now a constant inquiry of who is going to attend the Masquerade in Costume. We answer nearly every one who ever dances at all. Of bourse all want to remain incog, and do not say much about it at present only to those of whom they want to* secure costumes, but we have no hesitancy in saying that the party on the 8th will be one of the largest and most pleasant gatherings of the kind ever held in the County. Wadhams & Roundy. of Chi­ cago. the finest Costuuiers in the West, will have a representative here who will furuish bran new Costumes, of any desired style, at reasonable rates.*-- | Therefore we say to all who wish an evening of real enjoyment come out to ; the Masquerade ou the 8th of February. And if you do not wish to dunce come and see the characters that will be there represented and hear the excel­ lent music, which will be furnished by Rogers & Gillett's Band, of Geneva Lake, composed ot six piecos. They are without doubt the best Qnatlrille Band in the Northwest. The tickets have been placed at the low price of $3 including supper.and those who do not wish to dance can have the pleasure of looking on for the small sum of 25 cents. We predict a large and plsjis- ant gathering on that occasion. Fourteen and 1-4 Pounds. Of Sugar for One Dollar at Bucklin & Stevens.

As a balm for their wounds I heard one QU,o»e from Col. Ingersoll, "An honest God is the noblest work of man." A telegram from Minnesota brings the news that Edwin Van Slyke. an old resident of Wauronda, is dead. He died of Consumption. Ed had gone to Minnesota with his family especially for his healtlu but that fell destroyer was too deeply seated to be eradicated by Minnesota's invigorating atmos­ phere, Farewell old friend. Mrs. Potter, a widow and mother of Charles and Albert Potter, who lives about one mile west of this place, some two weeks ago was thrown out of a two horse sleigh and struck the ground head first and received injuries' from which her recovery Is quite doubtftil. On tlie 8th day of November, 1842. snow fell here and remained upon the ground for six long months, in banks until May, 1649. That is knowu as the cold winter. What a contrast from that to this in only thirty-five years. The problem is easily solved* The waters of onr northern lakes are flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, by the Improve­ ments in the south branch of Chicago River, and the waters of the Medlter* rauean into the Red Sea through the Suez Caual. In consequence the Med­ iterranean is perceptibly lowered and in consequence also the earth is topting to the South. This is shewn by the sun's shadow reaching nine seconds further north and increasing in a Geometrical Ratio per year since the opening of said canals. Now will somo mathematician please tell ns by this raies and rule how long before we shall be under the equator again. Then what a happy time that will bo. Noth­ ing required but a fig leaf. KMCX.

Allowing thai the Idea is a correct one. we would like to ask, '• When we are going to have snow enough for sleighing?" The first interchange of salutation wlitn two parties meet now-a-days is, * How warm it Is!" " Did you ever see the like,M etc.. The next question asked is, " Have yon paid your taxes?" " HoV awful high they are," etc. And here In this connection we would say to those who have not as yet the Col­ lector's receipt, that our Town Collect­ or will be at the store of J. J. Phil- brlck on Thursday of each week, In the village of tireetiwood, and ou Saturday of each week will be at the store of Whitson & Sons, in Woodstock, On Tuesday night last the school building was entered by some ttu^nmvn persons who apparently spcut the night there. No great damage was done more than burning of the wood and taking away one book. Suspicion rests upon two trainps who. were seeq hear there just at night. On the same evening Sir. W. tt. Howe, residing about two miles north of the village, while in town during the evening with his team, had the reins cut nearly In ttvo, a short dis­ tance from the bit* by some Unknown villain. We are confident however, that the dastardly act was the work of some outside party, as we cannot be* lieve that we have any one living in ottf midst who would stoop so low, even upon the worst provocation. There Is apparently a pretty general dissatisfaction 011 the pai't of the mem­ bers of the Singing Clas*, as expressed in do*la*ras toues, "onpledsant to the hear?' There is seemingly a very strong and urgent expression for, a change. The Literary Association has on the programme for Friday evening next the discussion of the following ques­ tion: "Resolved, that man ought to obey the dictates of his conscience, human laws to the contrary notwith­ standing.

Pneu­ monia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person pan use it with­ out immediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to recom­ mend it It to the poor dying con­ sumptive. a,t least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the GERMAN SYRUP cannot, be too widely known. Ask yottr Druggist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at 10 cents, fiejuilftr size 75 cents. ?i'!« • ' ' .J - hog KILLING. C.
