AN exchange reminds that in 1890 ev­ ery farmer in the United States will be visited by a paid officer of the govern­ ment, and asked to give the statistics of his farm crops, stock, etc., for the pre- sentyear. To be prepared for the census taker, b^in now to keep account of all farm operations, and keep it up through the year. In this way only can the agri­ cultural statistics of the census report be made of any real value. • ^Now is a good time to look oa trees [ for caterpillars. They can be found in their nests near the ends of . the limbs, and are just getting out. They are not more than an eighth of an inch in length. The nest looks like the knot on the end of the limb. If taken off soon these pests can be gotten rid of with very little trouble. If left to themselves a few days they will overrun the trees and destroy the leaves. MB. SLADE'S subject next Sunday morn, ing will be "The Religion from Heaven,' and in the evening, by request^ the treat­ ment of a subject preached upon a little time since by Presiding Elder Van Home in the Methodist Church on the West Side--Text: "Wherefore He (Christ) is a|)le also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him; seeing He •msec tiveth to soaks intercession lor YOUR attention is called to an adver­ tisement in this paper of A. T. Evans & Co., Chicago, 111., who are offering a com­ plete set of family scales for 98 gents. This extremely low price is made to get new customers, for to every one to whom a set of scales is sold they mail their cata­ logue, giving full description and whole­ sale prices of watches, jewelry, sewing machines, books, and a large variety of useful household articles. They give such unquestioned bank references as should insure every one that the firm is entirely reliable. THERE will be three days races on the Marengo Driving Park, June 26th, 27th and 28th, in connection with a Horse Fair and Horse Sale. The opportunity to advertise among horse buyers, while advertising the races, will be excellent and will probably call out a good num- cber of them. It is also proposed" to se­ cure a large exhibition of fine horses be­ sides the race horses. The forenoons will be devoted to the display and sale of horses, and the afternoons to the races. As Marengo never does anything by halves you can look out for some rare sport at Marengo on the above named dates. THE young sportsmen and the boys with nest-robbing instincts will do well to read section three of the bird law of the State before they wantonly kill any more of the feathered wlbe: The law says: "No person shall at any time, within this state, kill or attempt to trap, net, en snare, destroy or kill any robbin, blue bird, swallow, martin, mosquito hawk, whippoorwill, cuckoo, woodpecker, cat­ bird, brown thrasher, red bird, hanging bird, buzzard, sparrow, wren, humming bird, dove, goldfinch, mocking bird, blue jay, finch, thrush, lark, cherry bird, ori­ ole or bobolink, nor rob or destroy the nests of such birds, or eithet- or any of them. And any person so offending, shall, on conviction, be fined the sum of |5 for each and every bird so killed, and for each and every nest robbed or destroyed. Provided, that nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the owner or occupant of lands from destroying any of the birds herein named on the same, when deemed necessary by him tar the protection of fruit or prop- 6oh.ool Report.

After two initiations at the Masonic- Hall, the neighbors formed in line and marched to Rowe's Hall where a number of invited guests were patieutly awaiting their appearance. The hall was beauti­ fully decorated wijsh flags and emblems of the order, and underneath the motto "Love thy Neighbor as Thyself," an in­ teresting program was carried out, although cut short by the absence, on account of the rain, of some who were to take part. The address of welcome was delivered by James Casey, of Woodstock, and was listened to with marked at ten­ tion and justly greeted with marked applause. Next was a vocal duett by Henry M. Turner and Miss Delia Crewe, which was well rendered. Then followed the initiation of Mr. which caused considerable merriment. The candidate was forced to take a binding oath of a most ridiculous nature, then ordered to mount a beautiful imported white ele­ phant, of monstrous size, driven on the stage, which he did very gracefully, and finally branded across the back with a red hot iron. At the close of this, per­ formance Henry Turner sang a solo, after which cauie the closing address by Frank Spitzer, w hich was as usual, elo­ quent, deep and patriotic. The company were then invited to cross the street to Union Hall to assist in the final part of the evening's program. Here a grand banquet was spraad, consisting of lem­ onade, fruits, and every delicacy imagi­ nable, prepared by the ladies of Hebron.

Thanks are due the com­ mittee and ladies who lent a helping hand for the success of that part of the entertainment carried out at Union Hall. Herman Clyde. PROF. HERMANS is attracting very large audiences at the Chicago Opera House this week. His illusion, " Crema­ tion," is undoubtedly one of the most startling, and at the so me time most mystifying of all the fciagician's feats which we have had the opportunity of witnessing in many years. Mine. Her­ mann, whois the subject upon which Pi-of. Hermann experiments, is placed in a casket, the sides and top of which are made of glass, so that the audience can view what takes place within. The torch is applied, and to all appearances the body is reduced to ashes. Of course this is not the case; it is only a part of Prof. Hermann's powers of deception, for the lady appears immediately to the audience without a vestige of damage being done by the flames. This wonderful illusion, however, is not the only startling thing in Prof. Hermann's repertoire. His " Ex­ pose of Spiritualism" is undoubtedly the best thing of the kind ever attempted. Then there is D'Alvini, the famous jug­ gler, who is an attraction in himself; and several other people, who have been selected for their ability to add to an evening's entertainment such as is given by Prof. Hermann. The wonderful magician will be seen another week at the Chicago Opera House, when Donnelly & Girard will present their new piece, " The City Directory," from the p^nof that ver­ satile writer, Paul Potter.
