This is a little rough for the 20th of April, •'* "*"11 nnrt rn am fitted jHfc AN exchange says ' it is remarkable *ith what facility New York editor* secure rich wives." Why not comment upon the facility with which rich girls secure New York editors? There is nothing surprising in the fact that an editor should capture a rich wife, but it is rather unusual that a wealthy woman should have the good sense to marry an editor. It has always occurred to us that tf we were a rich girl that we would demand an editor or death, but the large majority of affluent females nowadays seem to manifest a decided preference, as between the two, for the latter.

FUN is fun, butwhen you meet a man on a very dark night and all in fun do- maud his money, it is not so much fun to you if he takes the thing In earnest and knocks you down.

W THIS is the season of the year when Ithe average girl conies down town > wearing a veil so thick that you i couldn't shoot a bullet through it, and •; then gats mad because every gentle- % mau friend she meets does not recog- iniie her. As the report of F. G. Mayes, Town­ ship Treasurer, published last week, an orror occurred under the head of Town­ ship Principal Loaned. The item dated December 1st, should have read •500, not 9800, as was printed. It was an error of the printer. •$•>.;• AT the Short Horn sale of J. B.

AT the meeting of the now village Board ou Friday evening last, two of the new members and the Clerk quali­ fied. but the third member, R. A.

By chlmfuy gracious, dot ting must be stopped. THE ground-hog has been "lest in 'dlte fog1' this spring. The six weeks have elapsed since he emerged from his hiding place and saw his shadow, yet the springtime of gentle Annie has not arrived.

"• • SOME county offices'of trust and profit are to be filled this year and there are plenty of men all over the county competent to fill them under ordinary circumstances. The idea is erroneous that one man has a better right to an office than another unless upon the plea of superior qualifications. The fact that a man has been a good officer is no proof that another man may not make just as good a one, and because a man served one or two terms accept­ able, is not a conclusive reason that h* should have the office another term. The law fixes the time for holding an office, and when it expires all have an equal right to aspire to it.

The Troy Chief publishes the following, which is true to the letter: "The expression is very fequenlly used, that history repeats iuseif. We pre­ sume It does in some instances, one of which is now in progress. More than one hundred and sixty years ago Charles XII. of Sweden was killed at the siege of Frederikshall. in order to prevent a panic among his soldiers, the fact was concealed from them, and the lifeless body was fastened in an upright position upon the l^orse, and moved about from place t9 place to make it appear that the King was still in command. Democrats who have in­ vestigated, hare been reluctantly compelled to admit that S. J, Tilden is dead, to all practical Intents and purposes; yet certain party leaders have stuck the old fellow astripe of his bar'!, and posed him before the public as a paragon of mental and physical strength, in order to olieer and rally their demoralized forces." Beating a Whirlwind, As the passenger train on the narrow- gauge road between Lowre.vsville and Liucolnton, N. C., was rattling leaure- ly along last Tuesday the engineer discovered a terrific wliilwind sweep­ ing down the track behind the train. Realising what the consequences would be if it overtook theiu lie pulled the throttle wide open and let the little machihe work out the salvation of the passengers if it could. The whirl­ wind was not more than five hundred yards behind the traity and the anx­ ious passengers soon became aware of the painful fact that it was gradually gaining upon tlmm. There were sev­ eral ladies in the car, and they cried and carried on at a terrible rate, while the men danced around the car in their cxcitemenr., vainly yelling at the engineer to put on more steam. The race was kept up in this way for two mile-i. when the train turned a curve in the road. As the whirlwind struck the curve it left the railroad track, speeding its way straight on through the fields, Sheep sh«arla| FMUTBL Tha Sixth Annual £beep Shearing Festival, by tho Northern Illinois Merino Sheep Breeders* Association, will be held' in Richmond, Illinois, April 29 and 30,1884.

The well-known publishing house ot JVC.

Charles King,U.S. A. late Professor of Military Science and Tac­ tics In the University of Wisconsin, and author of "The Colonel's Daughter. In this, his litest work, Captaia King brings to bear all the grace and power of hU feciln pen upon descriptions of the most renowned military events, from Marathon, 490 B. C., to the pres­ ent time. His work combines the qualities of severe and conscientious study with great picturesqtreness of representation, and the reader conse­ quently gets solid meat of history serv ed and presented i n a most alluring form. This hook is. In fact, a gallery of battle pictures, each telling its own story, and all hung upon a connected line of history which brings the in to their proper relation with each other. History thus taught stays in the mem­ ory, and a book of battles, having the scope and writtvu in the style of this ms6teily work of Captain King's, be­ comes at once tho most effectual, as it Is the most delightful medium for ac­ quainting us with the 'great salient features In the story of our race that could possibly be devised. The firm wants agents everywhere to introduce this new and popular work. Write fop full particulars. AlttOHWlM.

Interesting to Ladies, Qnrlady readers can hardly fall to have their attention oalled this week to the latest combination of improve­ ments in that most useful of all domes­ tic implements, the "sewing machine." As we understand it, a machine for family use should meet first of all these requirements: It should be simple in its mechanlsriii; it should run easily; it should do a wide range of work;should be as nearly noiseless as possible; itshould be light, handsome, durable, and as cheap as is consistent with ex­ cellence throughout. These conditions the "Light-Running New Home" certainly meots. It has also several very important and useful attachments and "notions" of its own, which go far to make irood its claims to popular favor. The "New Home" specially recom­ mends itself to purchasers on account of its superior mechanical construction ease of management and reasonable price. Over half a million have been sold in the last three years, all of which are giving universal satisfaction. This unrivalled machine is manufactured by the New Home Sewing Machine Co.. 341 Union Square, New York, who wish us to say that all who will send for their new illustrated catalogue and enclose their advertisement (printed on an­ other page), will receive a set of fancy advertising novelties of value to those collecting cards, etc. WAUCONDA EDITOR PLMNDKALER:--The village election on Tuesday last passed oil very quietly, only one ticket being in the field.
