The following Aetdi of hi# life, from tl>e Aurora Aedtos, wilt ho intonating to h!s nsaay MnM± The people of^Aurora have known John C. Sherwln, and very favorably, ever since, In IMi, ho hecamo a law student inuthla «ity. But there are those, fp become his conatltnents as a member of Congress, who have not en­ joyed the same facilities of knowing him and forming his acquaintance; and to them It Is doe that some sketch of hie life and servfoee to hit country be given. John €. Sherwln was born, 1839. In St. Lawrence county. New York, a splendid country to emegrate from but which has given service of the United States such men as Silas Wright and l*reston King. Bis younger days were passed mostly upon the farm, though he did spend some time at the Q*vavene«r Wesley an Seminary. In 1866, at the age of 17 years, lie came to Illinois, with his father, and settled on their Kendall county farm, where he remained until twenty-one years of age. He then worked his own way through the scientific department of Lombard University by teaching school and other methods known to the poor, but ambitious young men --grad­ uating In 1881. Almost immediately, on the 7th of Anw»sf Mr. Sherwlgi enlisted at York- vili« in company of the 89th or Rtiifcoad Regiment, the company after­ ward better known as Capt. Hobb's. Iu this command he served faithfully ntll the regiment was muster*d out i« l«ne, 1885. He never wore shoulder etraps, and the reason why reveals one •ef Che best and most valuable traits In hi« character, as told by Mr. N. R. defctos, of this city, and learned by him liotid 3u<4 brother, the Captain. In 1804, by various deaths, resignations, etc., it became necessary to make a new First Ueutenant. Col. Hotohkins hfd re- ararked Sherwiu's ability and offered trim the position, but It Was refused in regular line of promotion, the place belonged to an old Kendall county neighbor. The shoulder strap went where it waa due, and Sherwln wore the Sergeant's stripes until the date of muster out. Now the compen­ sation comes, and the people propose «e put the self-sacrificing private In the Major General's ehalr. As we said Sherwln served In the ranks from Louisville to Atlanta. He participa­ ted in all the battles of the army of the Cumberland, marching through Kentucky, three or four times across Tennessee, through Alabama and Georgia. In the summer of 1804. while before Atlanta, he was detailed to serve with the Topographical Engi­ neers of the 4th Army Corps. After his mnster-ont, in June,Y888, Mr. Sherwln came to this city and commenced the study of law In the office of Wagner ft Caiiflfld, and re­ mained In the practice of the profes­ sion of the law HIIMI. iSfi, he was elected to the county clerkship. Du­ ring his practice of the law, he was city Attorney one term, and held the Town Treasurshlp heveral times. Asa boy, Mr. sherwln espoused the cause of H »le and Julian, Free-soil can­ didates for President and Vice Presi­ dent and haa never been anything in politics but a Frae-soller and Repub­ lican. In private life he Is without the suspicion of reproach; In his I ntercourse with his fellow men he Is the perfect gentleman; in his profession lie ranki high; ns a student he hard; u a public speaker he stands weH--but of this the people of the district will have opportunity to judge for themselves during the ensuing campaign, as we letmi tie proposes to do yeoman's service upon the etump and in'the Re- puhlicao camp, as he did upon the battle fields, and in his country's oamns iu 1882--8. This is the man whom the Republi­ can party presents for the suffrages ol the Fourth District. As a hoy lie served his time with his father; as a young man he did good battle fur an education, and has honored hit* "Alma Mater;" as a patriot he carried his musket and served his country dvriiig the days of her greatest peril,--he stood at the front "till the last armed foe expired.** He did not . seek the nomi nation give a him. When the contest for the nomination commenced, the idea that he would be the standard bearer of the party in the district did not enter his mind, it wag not sug­ gested until within three weeks of his nomination, and theo he eras iadueeu tdj mmeat to the use of his name with the Idea that the constantly growiag breech between the Hurlbut and U- throp men might he bridged In that manner. "The Boys In Bine," the joung men, the "reputable citizen," the advocate of purity In politics, the old Republi­ can--all can join In the eampaign with Mour John" and have uo fear of being put to blush, or be compelled to apolo­ gise for anything in his career.

An?. 28th, 18/S. i*MiBfflmtt8Ara«wiamLif ums. There fe a curious story about some native •wines which are extensively advertised nowa­ days,, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. underbill,, the well-known grape-grower of Crolori Point, died ia 1871. Some ©f his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were, unwitying to allow the stock of wines then on hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been tent to market, and sometimes left to decay np»n the vines. It Is only now that the other heirs have succeeded in arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on band. Among these is a wine of the vintage of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port,"5 but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, and being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and both physicians and wine- fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine sow accessible in any con­ siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the hards of the well-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurbcrs.--K. Trittm*, Nov. jp, The above speaks for haeiC but we woold add <hat this is the pure juice of the grape, neither drugged, liqnortd nor toattnd; that it. has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes it is unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the • undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
