The children showed rard ""Training and the excercises were all of the most interesting character. \ MR. SLADE'S subject next Sunday morning will be "Is Punishment Eter­ nal?", meaning endless. Text: Rev. 22 --12, "Behold I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be," A WEEKLY exchange says: "He fel| from the scaffold and seriously broke hisj neck, dying instantly." This reminds as^ of another item; "When the doctor arrived the man was dead, and he left, after pronouncing his wounds fatal." AN exchange v<ry cruelly says that the sermon of the best preacher in the world will not make as much impression upon a congregation as the sudden, pattering of rain on the toindow panes of a church containing 200 new bonnets. j THE awkward possibilities SUGGESTED the action Monday of a Mississippi woman in presenting her husband with six bouncing baby boys at a single effont will dampen the ardor of many a bach­ elor who has indefinitely longed for the delights of matrimony.

AN election was held on Saturday last >r a President and two members of the oard of Education, in this District. There was but one ticket in the field and but little interest seemed to be mani­ fested. Only 47 votes were polled and resulted in the re-election of the retiring members, Isaac Wentworth for President and S. Stoffel and E.' Wheeler as mem­ bers of the Board. TTTri RS. THOMAS STANTON, mother of Thomas and Martin Stanton, died at the residence of her son Martin, near Long Lake, on Sunday last, aged 92 years. She waB one of the oldest settlers of Lake county, having resided there nearly fifty years, and was honored and respected by all who knew her. Herfuneral took place on Tuesday and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and sympathizing fiends. ^ DR. C. H. FEOERS, of this village, re- seived the nomination for Coroner of McHenry County, at the Democratic County Convention, held at Woodstock, last week. The Doctor is one of natures noblemen and we know of no man in the democratic party who we would rather seeelevated to this high and responsible(?) position, but we iear the wind is in the wrong direction this year. However we congratulate the democracy in having a first class man .on their ticket fo? this office. Corporation Election. The Corporation election, in this village yesterday was a very quiet affair, One hundred and seventy-eight votes were polled and resulted in the electioif of the following officers: President--l%a&a Wentworth. Village Clerk--George W. Owen. Trustees--Elmore W. Howe, Oliver N. Owen, Henry Nordquist. The hold-over member# of the Board are W. A. Cristy. Simon Stoffel and Chas. H. Granger. "There is a lot about hens' eggs, fa- milliar as they are to every one, that people don't suspect," said a chicken fan­ cier the other day. "Now, here's an egg that would be a rooster if it should be hatched out. This one would develope into a hen. How do I know? I learned it by long observation of eggs and their habits. The small end of a hens' egg will be either as smooth as marble or wrinkled like a nutmeg. Some folks won't buy eggs that are wrinkled, because wrinkles are a sure sign of age. A wrinkled egg indicates that it holds a rooster in embryo. A protoplastic hen is enveloped by the smooth-ended shell. UNION, Feb. II, 1892. Mi*. Chas. Sinping gays;--I have used Sophus Egg Food and find it is as good recommended. Our chickens are in a splendid condition. Sophus* Egg Food when fed for cholera should be mixed with bran, double the amount being used as called for in di­ rections. If chickens cannot eat, stuff the itiiitui-e, ulightiy wet, into their mouths first settlem go to any land there is a true neig&bot'ttiMiM among them that will not be kept up, quite in its i<lenity, even &tnr<ng their children; for people grow less and lew dependent upon each other as comforts and traveling facilities increase. But here in McHenry are still living those who came to this western land more than u half contu^ since, and their pioneer neighborliaess is part of their individuality yet. Not long since when one woman told another, that Mrs. Mary Wightman would be eighty-two the eight of April, the response came quickly, "She has been a friend to the people of this town ever since she came into it so long ago. In her younger years when she could go about, though she had a family of her own to care for and provide for, and though she worked as few women have or could, she still was always found wherever trouble or sickhess went--a friend, a nurse to those in need. Now that her years are getting so many, would it not be pleasant both for her­ self and her friends, to surprise her by spending the first afternoon o? hw 3rear with her?" And the woman went about and said the same, in effect, to many others who thanked her for think­ ing of just that grateful thing to do and cordially entered iqto the pleasing work in the spirit of her words. Mrs. WighSmas kss?? hsr son Usury and part of his family that could, were coming to see her with two other friends, and was ready and smiling to meet them. But when many others came, some she had known for scores of years, and all seemed so gracious, so happy, so mysterious as they went to other rooms with their packages and whisperings; it was not strange that she grew a little dazed in her joy, and though still "Smily roun' the lips" was "teary roim' the lashes." There were music and fiowers; the afternoon was brightand thoughtful, gay and sad and delightful--all in one; and I know that each dear old lady felt, along with her present pleasures: "I hold the years in my heart and all that was, is yet. Tears came to many eyes when the daughter of one of the best mothers, who left her but last summer, sent remem­ brances in that mother's name. The ages ranged from Mrs. Wightman's eighty-two to her grandson's fourteen. Mrs. McCollum was to be seventy-nine next day; Mrs. Waite was seventy-six; Mrs. Howard seventy-five; Mrs. Hanly seventy-two; Mrs. Covell seventy, and so on through the lesser years. Some of the company found interest in the fuct that the combined ages of the twenty- five who were present, amounted to four- teen-hundred and forty-one years. All sat long 'round the bountiful itable that was graced by a beautiful lamp the guests had left in remembrance, and, though the twelve who first sat down, had more than eight and a half centuries among them, laughter and merriment were abundant as the years, and every one who was present wished such helpful and delightful reunions be multi­ plied in the land. COM. THE dramatic and musical entertain­ ment at the City Hall last week, by Prof. Chas. Guinness and Miss Donna Carlisle, under the aspices of the Willing Workers, was certainly the best that has visited this place for many a day. Prof. Guin­ ness is an elecutionist of rare ability and as an imitator, has few if any superiors, while Miss Carlisle by her fine voice and charming presence, won hosts of friends. Should they ever come this way again they can be assured of a full house. A BILL prohibiting any one "descend­ ing from a baloon by means of a para­ chute, or in any other manner than by alighting when the baloon has reached the earth," has been passed by both branches of the New York legislature; and will, no doubt, become a law. Some of the laws that pass our legitlatures are perfectly ridiculous. If a fool wants to risk his life by jumping out of a baloon, why, let him jump, whose basinets is it but his own? Had better pass a law making it a crime for a man to blow into the muzzle of a gun. Demorwt Silver Xedal Contest. There will be a Demorest Silver Medal Contest at Ringwood on the evening of April 29. The following pieces will be spoken: "Who is to Blame", "The World on Fire", "A Glorious Monument", "The Monstrous Character of the Liquor Traffic", "A Vision of Prohibition", "The Two Pictures", "Looking For ward", ̂ "In the Bushel or in the Jug".

"Felix Oldboy's Recollections,,' an idyllic des­ cription of New York city in the last generation, is the last piece of litwrary work done by its gifted author, the late Col. John Flavel Mines.

The Independent says, J. L. Curts will soon leave town. In reading the call for\he Dorr Caucus our mind wanders retrospectively back to a caucus held here the 26 th of last month. The call read, Republicans only, but said nothing about non residents. And we are prepared to show that th% hall was packed with citizens from Alden, Dorr, Dusiuaru, Bouae County, Wiscon­ sin and Canada. LOST--H. 3. Williams and "Hero" Lake having wandered from home some time ago, their friends are becoming anxious--for fear thej may return again. When last seen Williams was thought­ fully stroking his silky whiskers end say­ ing nothing, while f .nko wm in nofnaof conversation with a Nunda blacksmith, but all that could be heard of their cqf- versation was something about "fifty." We cannot furnish a good description of them, but anyone will know them by the company they keep. A suitable reward (of sixty five cents) will be given for in­ formation stating in which of the many soup tureens around the county they may be found. LATER--We have located them in the following towns, Hebron, Greenwood, Burton, Nunda, Algonquin, and several other towns. When seen Lake was murmuring aadiy. "Tis better to have loved a hoes than never to have loved at all." Tiir sjwhooS election held here Saturday was quite largely attended. As we pre­ dicted last week L. A. Gardner and his associates on the ticket were elected by a large majority. The name of Milo Munger having been substituted for that of J. Logue. No sensible person could find any fault with the make up the ticket. The three gentleman elected (by about 200 majority) are all good men of sterling worth, upright and honorable and will fill the position to which they have been called in a manner that will prove satisfactory to all. We have -not one word derogatory ol the men on the other ticket. But when it was known that H. S. Williams had promised these men his support if they would help him kill Blanchard off, and that llobbin Redbreast Hall, Pussy Young and Grand ma-ma Wellington were also supporting them, their doom was sealed. They can be found at their respective places of business as usual. "Many shall be called but few (of the best of us) shall be chosen." The only unpleasant occu­ rence of the day was when the gravel train men came in to vote, there was con­ siderable upturning of noses by a few and such remarks as "oh look at them," " Aint they dirty," etc. And this by women whose only claim to distinction lies in the fact that they habitually wear certain portions of their husbands wear­ ing apparel. We could preach a sermon on this but wont. : Mrs. D. G. Burghart,"of Milwaukee, 1^ visiting her mother this week. The concert held in the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening was listened to by a very large crowd and heaitily enjoyed by all. Mrs. H. D. Crumb never sang more sweetly than on that occa­ sion. There was also a concert held at theM. E. Church the same evening. We were unable to attend but have no doubt it was as all their concerts are, well worth hearing.

"Darius buckled on his wings, took a flyer from the window, and chug, in the barnyard he went." Two tickets in the field for school trustees. One the old board, the other the women ticket. The women first put on their ticket three of the most pronounced suffragists in Ma rengo, bdt there being some doubt in the minds of the W. C. T. U. ladies, their names were scratched out, two others substituted. They received sixty-eight votes ont of 263. Some of the women voted for the old board. Well, the wom­ en have been doing a good deal of mis­ sionary work in the last month, but the King of France marched up the hill aud then marched down again." Although the W. C. T. U. women have not been successful here at the polls, in their own ligitimate work, they are im­ minently so. They have 121 members, this year, the most successful since or­ ganised.
