Father Kirsch, who has been pastor of St. Mary's German Catholic church in this village for more than six years, has been promoted to a large parish in Chicago. Father Mathias Barth, pastor of St. Theresa's church in Chicago will succeed Father Kirsch as pastor of St. Mary's. Father Kirsch came to this city in August 1894. He started with sixty-two families but by zeal and energy the number has increased to one hundred twelve families. s He bought the ground and built St. Mary's church which is one of the finest structures in the county. The year previous he built the parsonage. The church property is valued at $30,000 of which only $7,000 is unpaid. , Joseph H. Huemann, the hustling implement agent of Johnsburg, made us a pleasant call Tuesday.

Walsh attended the funeral of Mrs. Allen at Ringwood last Tuesday. Mrs. M. J. Walsh and Miss Walsh were enjoying a sleigh-ride Wednesday afternoon when the horse became unmanageable and ran away. It started at the mill and opposite the city hall both ladies were thrown out. The animal ran until it reached Mr. Walsh's store where it stopped. Fortunately there was no damage done to either occupants or sleigh. John Brents, the popular janitor of the public school, knows how to do things just about right and also keep on the sweet side of the school ma'ams. Knowing that they were a trifle despondent over their lack of sleigh rides he decided to gratify their wishes and Wednesday evening took them out in "state." Such a jingling of bells, tooting of horns, and whistling of whistles, has seldom been heard. It is said that a number of pedestrians were frightened into a state of nervous prostration thinking it was Gabriel sounding his trumpet. The concert given by the McHenry Military band last Friday evening was a grand success^ The hall was filled to overflowing with a sympathtic and appreciative audience. The program consisted of fifteen numbers a presented entirely by members of the band.

Another of Richmond's old citizens has crossed the river, and, like several others in the immediate past, the call was sudden and his taking away almost without warning. Last Friday morning Elijah Bower drove out to the McClellan farm east of town to attend to some business. When ready to return home he was taken with a severe pain in the region of the heart. He was assisted to the house and restoratives applied, but without avail and he died a few minutes , after the atack. Michael Thelen, a horse dealer of this city, who is visiting in Chicago was held up and robbed by two men last night on Belden avenue.

Thelen pursued the men but they escaped by running through an alley near Larrabee street. Freeman Wilson, who received a fall on a sidewalk at Harvard about three years ago, sued the city for ten thousand dollars damages. Three times the case was tried, the last time Mr. Wilson being awarded five hundred/dollars by the jury. Hon. E. D. Shurtleff has introduced a bill m the Legislature to appropriate $10, 027.10 to reimburse the ^ | dairymen, whose cattle were condemned and slaughtered by order of the Board of Live Stock Commissioners two years ago. Alvin Dodd of Algonquin bought one of the drove of horses brought into that town last week and while trying to get it into the barn at home, it reared, and falling on the hard ground, broke its neck and died instantly.
