ONE of the most terrific thunder storms we have witnessed for many years oc­ curred on Monday night asd Tuesday morning. The rain fell in torrents, the wind blew a perfect hurricane, and with the loud booming of thnnde^ and the constant flashes of lightning, tile scene was one of awful grandeur. The storm came from the southwest and passed to the north-east about one o'clock, and in about an hour returned passing to the southwest again, The clouds hung so low that many persons were considera- ily frightened. A MAN who writes for a newspaper is Of few days and lots of grief, says an ex­ change. He riseth in the morning and knoweth not what a day may bring forth. If he telleth all the news he ranneth a great risk of getting a tin ear puton him, and if he telleth not the news the people say he is n. g. and there is no joy in it. The crafty man cajoleth him into giving him a fifty cent puff for a five cent cigar, and fond mothers frown on him if he fail- eth to flutter their freckled faced broods. And all his ways are ways of woe, and his daysarefullof sorrow. The life insurance man trackleth snares for him, and on tile whole he hath the deuce of a time. A.. H.

Lightning was the cause and thjj loss is uearly |2,000, partly covered bj insurance. Twenty-eight cows and four horses perished in the flames. C>« "RING the storm on Monday night the| barn of Thomas Phalen, three miles south of this village, was struck by lightning, and two cows and one horse killed, but fortunately the barn was not burned. Those who have seen the damage say it was a narrow escape as the hay was scorched in many places. r FOR REPRESENTATIVE. The undersigned hereby announees him­ self a candidate for REPRESENTATIVE in the lower house of the General Assembly of Illinois, subject to the decision of the Democratic district convention. May the best man win. JOHN C. DONNELLY. A SMALL Cj clone struck this village on Tuesday night. The new Ice Houses of the Knickerbocker Ice Company are a total wreck, a part of the battlement on Owen & Son's Agricultural Warehouse was blown off, and havoc on a small scale prevailed generally. We would re- E=~»ctfuHy request the weather clerk to let a little on this kind of proceedings.

He came to this county nearly fifty years ago, and is well remembered by all of our oldest citiaens. His funeral was held on Satur­ day last, from his late residence. GILBERT & SULLIVAN'S latest and great est success, "The Gondoliers," is now in the height of its success in London, New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Cincin nati. The run of "The Gondoliers" at the Chicago Opera Rouse recently was very successful, but it was cut short by engagement of "Bluebeard Jr." It has been decided, therefore, to bring The Gondoliers again to the Chicago Opera House for a limited season. The com FOR the benefit of those Who abhor printer's ink as a prime factor to the ad­ vancement* of their interest, we would state that Samson--the strong party-- was the first man to advertise. He took two solid columns to demonstrate his Strength, and several thousand people "tumbled" to tho scheme. He brought down the house. AN escutcheon for a luminous keyhole has been dosigned which will be especially convenient on closets, chests, etc., in dark places, and also to the jeunesse doree who have lingered out late.

IN the Fond dn Lac Common we&tth we find the following: Arrangements have just been.complet­ ed whereby the grocery store heretofore known »as Kayser's, will hereafter be known as Kayser&Rauen, Joseph Rauen having purchased a half interest in the business. Mr. Rauen has been clerk for Joseph Podolsk.v for some time, and is a prompt anq attentive young business man. The new firm will no doabt have good success. Joseph Rauen is a former McHenry boy and where he is known as a Jive young business man, who is bound to make a success of whatever he takes hold of. His many friends hoe wish him success in his ing been connected with one of the prin­ cipal Hotels in Elgin, and besides this has a genial, pleasant way .that will, we predict, make him one of the most pop­ ular landlords in the county. The River­ side has been enlarged by the addition of seven more rooms, and will, as soon as the weather will permit, be painted and repaired on the outside, and under the supervision of Mr. Brewer is sure to be­ come one of the most popular Hotels in this section. His aim will be to please all and make the stay of his guests seem as home-like as possible. IN another column can be found the new advertisement of C. F. Hall, of the Nunda, Woodstock, and Dundee Cash Stores, to which we invite the particular attention of our many readers in Nunda, Woodstock and vicinity. As prowf that he has the leading store in Nunda is the fact that his increasing business necessi­ tated him taking anotherstore adjoining she one he occupied, which he has con­ nected with an archway and now has the two stores filled with as fine a line of goods as can be found in the county, and as he sells strictly for cash, and believes in the liberal use of printer's ink, he is bound to offer you bargains not to be found elsewhere. Read his advertisement carefully and see what he has to say for himself. ANNA KATNERTNTE GBEEN'S latest and best story, "The Forsaken Inn," has been brought out in book form by Robert Bonner's Sons. The authoress of "The Leavenworth Case" has always been con­ sidered extraordinarily clever in, the con­ struction of mystifying and exciting plots, but in her latest product she has not only eclipsed even herself in her spe­ cialty, but has combined with hSr story­ telling gift a fascinating mixture of poet­ ical qualities which makes "The Forsak­ en Inn" a work of such • interest that it will not be laid down by an imaginative reader until he has reached the last line of the last chapter. The scene of the story is the Hudson between Albany and Poughkeepsie, and the time is the close of the eighteenth century. In writing her previous books, the authoress carefully planned her work before putting pen to paper, but this story was written in a white beat, and under the spur of a mo uient of inspiration. The hook is charm­ ingly illustrated by Victor Perard. THE "Seven Ages" has made an im­ mense hit at the Chicago Opera House, where it will remain for but a limited period on account of dates in other cities. Henry Dixey has made the success of his life in this piece, and has caused "Adonis" to be quite forgotten by his admirers. As an entertainment, "The Seven Ages" is even better than "Adonis." Mr. Dixey himself appears in ten widely different characters, and in each of them he gives a masterpiece of burlesque comedy* Dixey is greeted with shouts of laughter when he makes his firgt entrance wheeled on in a baby carriage, and the amuse­ ment is incessant until the last scene, when he appears as an old man in his dotage. This last character places him among the best of America's comedians. It is a most remarkable study of the pe­ culiarities of old age, and in finish is worthy even of Joseph Jefferson. "The Seven Ages" has a great many brilliant spectacular features, notably the grand military tableau, in which Dixey appears as a statue of Washington on horseback. This has a most inspiring effect, and is nightly received with the most enthusi­ astic applause. The scenery and cos­ tumes are all handsome and artistic, while the company is one of the best ever seen In burlesque.' CORPORATION OATTCTT8.

Our Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 21st of March. It may fall as early as the 22d of March or as late as the 25th of April. It was for­ merly a common belief that the sun danced on Easter day. Easter or pascha eggs are symbolic of creation or the re­ creation of spring. The practice of pre­ senting eggs to our friends on Easter is Magian or Persian, and bears allusion to the mundane egg, for which Ormuzed and Ahriman were to contend till the consum­ mation of all thiugs. It prevailed also among the Jews, Eg.vtians, and Hindoos. Christians adopted the custom to sym­ bolize the resurrection, and they color the eggs red in allusion to the blood of their redemption. There is a tradition, also, that the world was created at East­ ertide. • SEED CORN FOR SALE.

Have Failed In turning out the expected quantity of spring stuff. They must go, even to be sold undei4 the hammer if necessary.

It must be converted into cash at once and while we don't mean to invite you to a sheriff's sale just yet, we will do our level best to make it as interesting for you as if that officer was running the business. We do not wish to mention this thing in detail but simply call your attention to the fact that we have nothing but new and fresh goods to offer, that we are bound to convert into cash even at a sacrifice.
