Then let him resume speech, but only in a whisper, for ten days more, at the end of which time he will be cured--if the remedy works. JOHN WEST, an old and highly re­ spected citizen of Richmond, died sudden­ ly on Friday evening last, of heart 'trouble. His funeral was held on Tues­ day, and was in charge of the Masonic fraternity, of which he was an honored member. A MEADVILLE (Ohio) editor wrote of a new pastor that he was "full of life and vigor,." The compositor sefc it. up that he was full of "pie and vinegar." If the whole truth was told a good many pastors might be found who would an­ swer the "compositor's" description. AN exchange says that the name Chau­ tauqua is said to have been originated by an Indian chief, who being driven lo desperation by the energetic tongue of his squaw, phinged headlong into the 1 tke, exclaiming as he went: "She tal away! She talk away!" Is it not a ^onde] there are not more lakes by that name. NEARLY every man that goes to struction charges his downfall to wijie and women. Now wine and women excellent things iu their place, and it is to mitigation to the offence if the culpnit tries to attract attention from his own weak moral nature by placing the blaiqe on these two excellent commodities. ATTENTION iw called to the card in an­ other column of Frauk Barker, Carriage, Sign and Ornamental Painter, who can be found at Hauperish's Shop in this vil­ lage. Those wanting th^ir Buggies Re- Painted for the summer should not fail to call and see him as be is a first class workman and his charges are reasonable. Read his card. WHEN a man drives up in front of astore and hitches his team so that it stands on the crosswalk thereby compelling pedes­ trians to step one side into the inuddy street to pass, is it because he doesn't know any better, or is it thoughlessness? Anyhow it is very annoying to have him do it, and such action tries one's pa­ tience to the utmost. Fire! Fire? list, is able to be arouud again. MRS. G. L.

Geo. Gage, on the West Side. The fire caught from a defective chimney, in the rear of the building and had gained such headway that it seemed almost impossi­ ble to save the building, consequently most of the ^rowd beat their energies to saving thefurniture, which was all saved with the exception of what was in two rooms near where the fire caught. The crowd worked with a will, and the result was the main part o( the house was saved with the exception of a slight dam­ age by water. The rear wing, in which was the kitchen, sitting room and sleep­ ing rooms, was totally destroyed. Ev­ eryone worked hard and faithfully, and with the only means at hand to work with, wooden pails, it was a miracle that any portion of the building was saved. - The Chemical EnginQs in this case proved what we always said they would when brought into practical use--a total failure. With a fire under headway a stream of chemical as big as a lead pen­ cil that will run only from five to etght minutes is of about as much practical use as a fork would be to eat soup. Mr. Gage's loss is about $000.00, with jtio insurance. C. H. Granger, who occu­ pied a part of the house, lost some furni­ ture that was io the rear of the house, and also had some damage by breakage. Taken all in at! it was fortunate it w, Slip worse.

The general t opinion is that "The Seven Ages" far * transcends the brilliancy of "Adonis," *5; which won for Mr. Henry E. Dixey a world-wide reputation. In "The Seven Ages" he is seen in no fewer than eight distinct characters, and in each of them he is greeted nightly with most enthusi- ' astic applause and laughter. The com pany is one of the most attractive ever v«. seen in burlesque. Beside Mr. Dixey ^ - there are four excellent comedians, and W*f: it may be safely said that no company V that New York has ever sent westward has contained so many beautiful and clever actresses. The latter are displayed ^4-- advantage in their striking and ar- ? , tistic costumes. The music of "The "> / Seven Ages" is all very popular and tune- > ,* ful, and there are a great number of beau tiful spectacular effect? and novel special­ ties. Altogether "The Seven Ages" is a . \ production that can be witnessed repeat * edly with renewed enjoyment, and Mr. ^ Dixey has made indeed the success of his THOS. PHALEN, who lost two cows and a horse by lightning, during the storm of two weeks ago, wasinsuredin the Agency of Simon Stoffel, in this village, and speaks very highly of the prompt manner in which his claim was settled. His loss took place on Monday morning and on Thursday, just three days after, his claim was paid in full. This shows the benefit of giving your insurance to a live home Agents HENRY MILLER and Henry Althoff, Senior, have opened the store of the lafce firm of Althoff Bros., and are now offer­ ing their entire stock of goods at Cost for ^Cash, tojjoae. This stock consists of Dry CfSods, Groceries, Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, and in short everything usually kept in a General Store, and as they are bound to be closed out they will offer you bargains in every department. Remember these goods are all first class and will absolutely be sold for cost or lees, and now Is the time to secure bar­ gains. v THE Gondoliers will follow "The Gon­ doliers" will follow "The Seven Ages" at the Chicago Opera House, and all lovers of music and merrimeut will welcome an* other opportunity of witnessing Gilbert & Sullivan's latest and most brilliant comic opera. Since "The Gondoliers' was seen in Chicago it has had a trium­ phal tour in the principal cities west of New York. Wherever the opera has been produced it has been received with the utmost enthusiasm, and the details of scenery and costumes have been pro­ nounced the most magnificent ever seen .in oomic opera. The company has been materially changed since it was last seen in Chicago. There are now five popular comedians, and no fewer than three prima donnas. The chorus is nearly twice as large as that usually seen in comic opera. Orders received by the Chicago Opera House through the mail will receive prompt attention. » BRADIJSY Plows at $11.50 atE.

Avery will have no opposition iu a Re­ publican nomination and re-election to the office of Couuty Clerk- This is as it should be. Col. Avery has, by bis effi­ ciency in discharging the intricate duties of that office, shown that he is essentially "the right man in the right place." He is constantly at his post during office hours,--is always patient, accurate, obliging, courteous. He has acquired practically a thorough knowledge of the multifarious duties--special and routine --which are by law required to be per­ formed by County Clerks. As a man he enjoys the respect of all classes of his fellow citizens. Col. Avery rendered his country valiant service during the seces­ sion war, and always votes as he fought, for the triumph of Republican princi­ ples and measures. Our Coupty convention which will as­ semble in the Court House, Woodstock, Tuesday, April 29th, will honor itself and McHenry County, by unanimously nom­ inating Col. Wm. Avery as the Republi­ can candidate for County Clerk.--Inde­ pendent. |©~Hon. A. J. Hopkins, who has so ably i-epresented our Districts in Congress, will again be the unanimous choice of the District at the Congressional, Convention to be held at Elgin May 1st. We have heard of no opposition to his return, nor do we know of any reason why he should not be returned; on the contrary, he has proven himself so able and worthy that there is entire unanimity among the people that he shall continue to represent them in the old Fifth District. Mr. Hop-? kins is popular and influential in our Na­ tional Congress, and the Fifth District has not been befter represented since the palmy days of Gen. Farnsworth.<->#*.

By AugSftt 1, if all goes well, we fehal) know once more how many people the United States contains at present. The enumeration commences Junel, or rather June 2, the first day of the month being Sunday. So well are the plans Arranged that it is thought the work will be finished in two weeks in the large cities. Among the straggling country population^ it will take longer. It is said to be a fact that in some parts of the country are persons so ignorant that they do not know the ages of their own children. Others will insist on giving also the names of their children who are dead. For census purposes the country is di­ vided into 175 districts, with a supervisor to each. The President appoints the supervisors of these districts and the supervisors appoint the enumerators, who do the field work. It is expected that all the enumeration will be ended by July 1. In the list of questions are some that constitute a new feature in census taking, and show how Americans are advancing in metaphysical science. The enumerated \person must tell whether he is married, single or divorced, which might 1* called 1 leither married nor single. So, if ne tell < he truth, it will be kuowu just how i nany legally disjoined persons there are in t&e United State^p-tfee Home of <11- rorce. ' You must also tfll whether you have my acute or chronic disease, and how long you have had it. . You must like­ wise inform the censustnan whether you, are an idiot, whether you are deformed, crippled, cra^y or maimed. If you are a tramp or pauper, that too must go down upon the pitiless page of the enum­ erator, and you must 'feSs if you are a prisoner, homeless child or a convict, You are obliged to mention whether you own or rent the house you live in. An electrical oouuting and tabulating ma­ chine has been iuvented since the.last census was taken which does iu five hours labor that which formerly required fifty- five. It will be brought into lively requi­ sition this summer. The amount of mortgaged property in the country is expected to be ascertained. Finally, the only way to escape telling how old you are is to die before the cen­ sus. taker comes.
