Edgar Nye, Superintendent. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. ITEMS CLIPPED PROM PLAINDEALER OP TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. Get your fishing tackle in readiness; the time has come when you can go out and sit on the damp ground all day and not get a nibble. Little Katie, daughter of John Hei- mer, had the misfortune to fall from the fence on Sunday afternoon last* breaking her arm between the wrist and elbow. Died--In this village on Thursday, May 5, }887, Mrs. Maggie Barbian, wife of Jacob Barbian, aged thirty-two years. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her loss. Wm. Richardson of Volo has left in our sanctum a queer shaped stone, found somewhere in that section. It will probably weigh from 25 to 30 pounds and looks as tho it was cut for some special purpose, perhaps hun­ dreds of years ago. The question now is by whom and for what was it in­ tended. Owing to the large orders daily com­ ing in the McHenry Brick company has been obliged to increase their ma­ chinery and are now making 30,000 brick every day, instead of 20,000 as heretofore. They fired their first kiln of the season on Sunday night last and are pushing [the yard to its utmost capacity. The board of trustees are doing a commendable job in having our streets cleaned of ash heaps, old cans, old boots and other rubbish, and they it a fiuahiA offense for any one- to de­ posit rubbish of any kind in the public streets. It would tend much to the beauty of our village. McHenry is never behind in any­ thing and just at this time she is way ahead on plug hats. Not satisfied with the cdhnnon kind to be obtained in this country, one has been imported and was out in all its gl^pry on the bridge on Sunday last, it was three stories high and had a stove in the top, that is, had the top all stove in. It can be seen by calling on Frank, Rev. B. Brunning has closed his la­ bors here, by mutual consent with the Universalist society, feeling that his financial affairs were demanding more funds for the present than he could command here, and having a very much increased salary he drops the Rev. from his name and for the pres­ ent will be addressed as follows: B. Brunning, 134 Van Buren St., room 83, Chicago, 111. He is now the general agent of the American Musical asso­ ciation, the headquarters of which are as above. He has been pastor of the Universalist church here for the past year and a half, and the society very much regret that circumstances com­ pel him to sever his connection with them as pastor. WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1887. The circus has come and gone unif yet the boys are not happy. The street commissioner replanked the red bridge in this village one day last week, putting it in first-class shape again. We learn that Stephen Freund, who lives on the Johnsburgh prairie, was kicked by a horse on Friday last and his hip bone broken. R. Bishop has been~rebuilding the abutments to the bridge across the mill race, which were somewhat dam­ aged by the high water this spring. The McHenry Brick company will put fire to their second kiln on Sunday night next. They are shipping brick daily to fill their many orders, and new orders are coming by every mail. Dr. Fegers, who is assistant surgeon of the C. & N. W. R. R., was sum­ moned by telegraph to go to Richmond on Friday last to attend a man who was injured by being thrown from a handcar. It pays to raise good horses. E. J. Hanly sold his driving team one day last week to parties from St. Paul for the handsome sum of $700. They were a fine young team and Hanly & Sons have more of the same kind coming up. The steamboat traffic between this village and Fox Lake has been discon­ tinued for the present, on account of low water. The river has not been so low in many years. Travelers to the lakes are now obliged to go with teams. The repairs on the Catholic parson­ age, in this village, are progressing rapidly and when completed will be of a substantial kind and will add much to its looks and convenience. An addi­ tion has been put on the north side, a new roof on the east wing, and cup­ boards and other improvements in the interior. John Winkles is doing the work. Mrs. Wm. Richardson of Volo has left in our sanctum a relic of "ye olden times" that is indeed a curiosity, both on account of its rarity and its extreme old age. It is an earthen pan, on the edge of which can be ciphered out the figures 1744. The inside is a bright yellow, while the outside is of a brown color. Mrs. Richardson's grandmother had it 90 years ago and it has remained in the family ever since. It would be a good relic for a museum. NOTICE TO CORN GROWERS.
