The Mc Henry cornet band is making arrangements for a grand vocal and in­ strumental concert, to take place at the public school bnilding on Friday ing of next week, March 18. Stone for the foundation of the new skating rink is now being hauled, and work will be commenced' as soon as the frost is out.. Mr. Curtis informs us that he has deemed to add to the width aB well as the length of the building, mak­ ing it when completed 40x120. , We understand that Homer Wattles will immediately commence the tion of creamery on his farm, just soutfhWest of this village. The buildjng will be 40x^0, with two stories and basement, and^&fed with the best and most approvedStpimrfenancee known to the dairy business. ; « At the Riverside skating rink on last Thursday evening the barrel race was won by George MeOmber, and on Sat­ urday evening the prize in the ring race was won %y Miss Mattie Smith. On Thursday eveni ng of this week will occnr the twenty lap race and On Satur- day evening the hat carnival. MARCH 11, 1885. We leam that C. B. Curtis has sold his residence in this village to Dr. <?• H. Fejierl Consideration $3000. population ^f the village was in- I by the arrival of a son at the home of W. A. Cristy on Friday last. At the hat carnival at Riverside rink on Saturday evening last the prize was awarded to Miss Myrtle Childs, her hat measuring seven feet, and six inches across the brim. A very good, snn shade.' Our tax collector, Geo. Rothermel, returned his books today (Wednesday) and the footings show that he has done remarkably well. The full tax amount­ ed to $12,697.17, of which he is obliged to return only $364.44. This, when we consider the scarcity of money, we con­ sider good work. At the skating rink on Thursday evening last the excitement was the race of twenty laps around the haii, equal to about three-quarters of a mile. There were eight entrees, but the real contest was between three, viz: Stacy Clark, Geo. MeOmber and Frank Colby. The time given for these three was as follows: Cl&rk 2 minutes 58 seconds, MeOmber 2:58, Colby 2:69. There being a tie between Clark and MeOmber they agreed to divide the prize. The man­ agers have offered another prize for a 20 lap race, which will come off on Thurs­ day evening of next week, the 15th. Fred. D. Williams, America's cham­ pion stilt and fancy roller skater, will exhibit at the Riverside skating rink in McHenry on Saturday. evening, March 14, 1885. Four great acts: Skating on stilts 18 inches high, executing the most difficult feats performed by expert skat­ ers on flat foot, such as heel and toe slide forward and backward,* single cut- off, spread eagle, double alligator split* picking keys from floor, single foot serpentine flat foot, grape vines, scis­ sors, figure eight, single locomotive, pivot act, etc., etc. Flat foot: Execut­ ing all the difficult feats of trick and fancy skating with both loose and fas­ tened skates, including jumping the tope flat foot, with loose skates and back wheelp removed, executing most of the difficult feats, such as the double and single grape vine, ricket fence, scissors and many others. Chair acts: Making a leap over twelve chairs at once, also three distinct leaps over two chairs, and other difficult leaps on skates, Mr. Williams is the acknowl­ edged champion stilt skater of America and his flat foot and fancy trick skating is as good as the best and his exhibitions are highly commended by the press and public.

We can safely say, howeveri'that any one of THE/SEf ^rHREE would build just as good a Pyramid, if not iter, than the olej-fashioned ones in Egypt. Now probably you are not in the pyramid building* usiness, but you may be goin^ to use some cement for one thing and another, and you are going to buy the best, and WE would like to sell it to you. •a.
