Two hundred employees of the Collins & Burgie Stove Company came out from Chicago last Saturday to spend the dny in Marengo. Carriages were provided, so that all had an opportunity to see our beautiful village and etivirons. They were worthy young men, of good appear­ ance and address, were delighted with what is to be their future home, and equally pleased were Marengo people with these men who are, with their families, so soon to become residents and neigh­ bors. The work on the stove factory is get­ ting along as well as the weather will permit". Jupiter Piuvius aud Mars seem to have had a corner on rain and elec­ trical displays this summer. Residence and lot owners are making great improvements in' their propert here, putting in concrete walks, repair­ ing, painting, building new fences, or taking old ones entirely^ away, digging out useless shrubbery, thinning the t rees to Jet in air and sunshine, Ther click of the lawn mower is a familiar sound, and keeping it company is the snip, snip, of the pruning shears. The family of H. E. Patrick are enjoy­ ing the summer in their beautiful home: Mr. Patrick Sundays with them. Mrs. K. E. Strahorn, of Boston, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Green, has been making thein a short visit. Many of our young people havereturn- ed from school aud college to spend va­ cation with friends Prof. Wi'rner.ToHlyii, of Hebron school, Miss Amelia Horen of Hanover college. Miss Grace Patrick of Shepardson college, Miss Fannie Pat­ rick, Lake Forest graduate; William Sul­ livan, Cornell college, 'Iowa, graduate; Ferdinand Haverslin, Yale graduate, and brings with him a bride. Dr. V . C. San- ford, who has spent the last year in Ger­ many, taking a special course in surgery, ha^been engaged as consulting physician of St. Elizabeth college, Chicago. Mrs. C. W. Ingersoll, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Will Abbott, has gone to New Haven to attend the commencement exercises of Yale, of which James Ingersoll is the valedictorian. In the near future he will occunv a professor's chair. Col. Stewart has closed his business college for the summer, and will reopen in September. He is a good teacher and has hn(f excellent success. There will be a Sunday School conven­ tion held in Marengo, on Sunday, July 10th. M. A. Keis, of Chicago, has opened a cigar fActory in Brown's block, lie keeps everything you can find at a first class tobacconists. Some of our yonng men recently en joyed a week's fishing at Pistaqua. They had a big catch and a jolly time. In response to an invitation from the Woinivn'sColumbianClub, of Woodstock, the ladies of the C. C., of Marengo, at tended the reception and lecture. They were delightfully entertained. What a season for clubs and conven­ tions. It must be the wet weather, for they sprout at every four corners. Miss Jane Stanford, primary teacher in our public school, started Monday, July 4th, for the home of her parents in Eng­ land. Mrs. K. M. Patrick is visiting her son, Fred A. Patrick, in Duluth. Miss Harriet Barber has accepted a position in Washburn & Patrick's, Miss A. H. McKenney taking her place in the post office. If I do not speak of the rain I suppose you will think we are having a drought. Without exception, I never saw it rain as it did last Thursday. Marengo was a little peninsula, and in ouryard we had a lake, a waterfall, (no pun) and down the garden raging canal--but even this has not crushed thefciosquito. The pretty littie operatta, Cinderella, given under the auspices of Mrs. A. B. Coon, was a complete success. Singing and acting excellent. Ida Babcock was Prince Charming, ,and she was all the name implies, in a suit of white satin, with a troubadour cloak. An entertain­ ment given by home talent is always well patronized. Strawberries are sour, require three sugars ^o one berry, and a* to cherries, the robins are literally fulfilling scriptur­ al injunction, by "looking iu the things of others." What a flock of little ones I startled the other morning, t*arly, hard at it, cliuging with tenacious little claws to the limbs, making a wkward dives for the half ripe cherries, but they got them. I do not want to be mean, but they hu ve left not one for Phyllis to make a pie, and if some of those youngsters do not have a colic I'm much mistakea, and not at all sorry. Fourth of July was ushered in at 1:20 in the morning, wi*h ripging of bells and firing of cannou. Through the open win­ dow conies thesouud of t he fife and drum, and no one, save old Time himself, can but keep step to the martial music. Flags are waving in the breeze, regardless of expense; the mean man has invested five cents in fire-crackerj, and the small boy is--well, I will tell you all about him next week. _____________ DENTIST.--Dr. W.
