WE learn that a sowing machine a^ent, who lives net a thousand miles from tlie county scat, was slopped a few nights since by a highway man. Tlie Intrepid agent caught the would be robber and sold hi in Tour new machines and two old ones on the installment plan. Tlie robber could not say a word. We do not vouch for the truth of the above, but knowing the agent as well as we do we are- inclined to be­ lie v« the story. ' THE man who wants his name kept out of the paper is just the man who don't believe in the virtue of advertis­ ing. Ask him for a losal notice and he, will tell you no one reads the paper; but just lethiin be flirting with some other man's wife, walking oft with funds not his own, or trying to hold up a lnmp-post some dark night, and lie'11 climb seventeen pairs of stairs and beg on his be,nded knees that the item be suppressed. It makes a difference In the minds of a great many men whose ox is gored, when an article is to ap­ pear in public print.--Ex. DON'T let a few warm days tempt you to remove the stoves. Half of the coughs, colds, catarrhs and consump­ tions are caught at this time of ' the year by sitting round in half chilly rooms when yen are a little uncertain whether you want afiie or not. Women have a mania for cleaning the house and bouncing out the stoves just about the time when tlie trees begin to bud. the birds to sing, and the ministers bring out their sermons ou spring; but it is a fatal practice.

WIGHTMAN'S "City Bus" ha* been newly painted and upholstered and presents a very handsome appear-! ance. We learn that he has purchased another new bus to accommodate the large patronage that he receives in passenger traffic to and from the steam beat. Now, as the days are getting Varm and bright, every lady is thinking of getting a new Spring hat, and the question each one asks is: "Where can I get a stylish hat tor a reasonable price?" This,question is quickly de­ cided by calling at Mrs, fl. H.

Orange Judd, editor of the American Agriculturalist, for some thirty years, hut unconnected with its business man­ agement for a year or two past, has lately retired from Us editorial depart­ ment and located in the* West, fie desires to gather a complete "Postal• Card Album" of his old readers and friends, and requests them all to send hi in now a Postal, giving their present location and address, naming also, when convenient, the years In which they were his subscribers.

Froui a personal experience we take great pleasure in rccomrnendlug Mr. O'Xuil to them in this section who fna|- want anything in this lino. WE are glad to be able to announce to our readers that the International State Publishing Company, of Chicago, are contemplating tlie publication, at an early day, of a complete History of McUenry County. It is to embrace a full history of the countv from the earliest settlement, with the trials and hardship* of pioneer life, down to the present time, shewing tlie improve­ ments and progress, step by step. Each township will receive careful attention and its own peculiar history carefully noted. The work will be illustrated with portraits of many of the earlier settlers and also of prominent men of tlie present time, of those who have and are now taking part in the history of tlie county. Also many of tlie prominent buildings, both of an early day and of tlie proseut time, will l»o shown in this work. The civil, political, legal, religious and educational inter­ ests of the county will receive due notice, and add greatly to the interest which aU classes must take iu this most valuable work. An important chapter hi this book will be the part '.lie county took in the rebellion, con. tabling tlie names of both the living and the dead who took part in that conflict from this county. It wili bo handsomely bound iu half morocco with gilt edge, and could be properly termed an album of our county's pioneers and prominent men. The work Is to con­ tain not less than 700 pages, and more if it is required to give the full and complete history of our county. An agent will be in this section during tlie next sixty days Tor the purpose of gathering statistics, and we hope eur citizens will do all in their pewor ,to aid him in this work." Everyone should contribute from his store of informa­ tion what he can toward this history. ATTENTION, COMRADES!--The mem­ bers of Richmond Post. No. 280,G. A.

BISHOP, McUenry, IU., 4priy«h, 1884, Barglar The storo of Mayes A Bartlett, in his villagOrWas burglarized on Sunday night or Monday morning last, and although but a small amount of goods was taken, the indication* were that the thief or thieves had made prepara* tions for a good haul. It wa« not dis­ covered until Mr. Bartlett went to the storo on Monday mprning when he found numerous evidences that they had bad callers when they were not at home. Tho clothing and other goods were strewn around tho counters and OQ tho floor, and everything had the appearance that the unseasonable visitors were looking fpr something they could not And. It appears they gained entrance through the cellar, by crawling through a small window, and in seme manner unknown unfastening a trap door leading into the store. In and around the premises were found a large sledge hammer, several chisels, three ty*c-stock«. and a number of drills, which tools would indicate that they expected to find a safe to work upon iu the store. But iu this they were disappointed, as there was no safe or money there. The only thing* missed, as yet, by the firm, are! a few silk handkerchiefs and other smptT arti­ cles. to tho value of perhaps ion dol­ lars. / The tools found in the storo proved to have been taken from tho black­ smith and wagon shop of Phil. Hauper- isell, which had been entered through a window. In this shop burned matches were found all over the floo£ and among the shavings, and the groat wonder is they did not burn the buildings. Now that it is known that burglars are about it behooves our citizens to be prepared f<»r.Miofii, and If. one is caught in th#riict make an example for« like tendencies, aud also a for tlie coroner. ------ Mcflonry c®.

DIKQ.--Xear Woodstock, on Wednesday, April 16th, Mr. Joseph Thompson, at the age er 82 years lacking four days. Deceased was hern April 20th, 1802, in Wash ington county, N. Y.; eame from there to Ohio in an early day, and from Ohio ho came to this ceuity and settled en the farm about 1S54, where he died. Uncle "Joe," as he was familt irly known, wis noted for his industri­ ous habits, honesty of purpose, a kind neigh, hor,a peaceful, intelligent citizen, and died as he had livod, an honest man. It seems to he a settled fact that Capt. C. H. Tryon will again represent us in our State Assembly. Hurrah for Charloy first, last and all the time. He net only voted right, hut by his upright conduct, his energy and close at­ tention to the wishes of his constituents, as wel(jas by his genial, suasive manner, won distinction among the savans of the State that reflects a credit upon Mclfenry County of which her oltizens may well he preud. Tho presidential question is not likely to be solved until the June and July conven­ tions, with reference to cither of tho parties. While Blaine and Arthnr seem to lead in the Republican race, it is still doubtful if either can marshal his follo'wers in sufficient num­ bers to win the lace. Blaine is trusting en- tirelyto those who have brought hiniout after his elt repeated assertions that ho was not a candidate, and ho lost Ohio's delegates at large In the samo way Gen. Hurlbut lost Kane county at theG. P. Lord convention, t trough the inertia of his friends, and allow­ ing his opponents to capturc three of the four delegates. Ho IoU two delegates at largo in New York and Arthur two, booanse some of Blaine's friends would not allow Senator Miller, who hail a clear perception of the con. dition te arrange with the Arthur men. And thus in many county, district aad state con­ ventions by the mismanagement of his friends the will of the people was thwarted bycaacus trickery. Mr. Arthur seem* to he giving no heed to the strife, but in bis truly dignified way attends strictly to his official duties, making hie appointments without reference to personal advancement, hut in strict accoru with civil service rules, calm and contcnt with the univcrrtal » erdii t of all factions and parlies, that he has l*eou a good President, and if lie is to lift his own successor he can en, upon his secqjpl ndministiat'on with an independence of thought that his own wise and prudent conduct has won for him a fame and station never before gained" l>y any wut have become chief magistrate by virtue of bo- ing vico president. And if he is superseded he retires endorsed fcy all as to ids official acts. It appears to me that our people lose eight of one great advantage te the country by failing te nominate and elect him his owu siicnesser. It would certaiuly attach more dignity and importance to the office of vice- preiident ami make it acceptable to men of character and ability. When we contrast hit administration with those of Tyler and John, son, wj do him great Injustice by the compar­ ison, and even when compared with Pilmore's his towers tar above, ami indeed the admiuis. trations are but few that are more worthy of a second trial than President Arthur's. While nothing can be gained by disparagement of any ether candidate, ant while all true Re* publicans will cheerfully support any BU fairly nominated, from all that can bs gath­ ered from newspapers and observation, no other, or all together, have a following in the hearts ef the peoplo equal to that of either Blaine or Arthur, and if tbe people can have their choice the race at Chicago in Jnue will be declared in favor of one or the other of these two men, both good and true. While dark horses sometimes win, they are not al­ ways Satisfactory. MARRtAOB MC^KSKB. Edmund J llays to Kthol Mary Smith. Kugene l.ong to Kmraa Henlv.* Gee. E. Dickinson to Coru K.'Maxham. Jidin G.
