THE Principal of our Public School requests u« to ask parents not to allow ^children to come to school until after half past eight in the morning, as the School building is not open until that time, and those who come before are obliged to stand upon the steps in the cold, wvhieh is not only disagreeable but dangerous to them this cold weath­ er r T. J. ELLIS, 6f Ring wood, while out gunning a few days since, , came across # splendid large deer, which he imme­ diately gave the contents of his shot gun, The deer fe!ll as if struck with an axe, but after floundering a few min­ utes, and before Mr. Ellis had a chance to get.pear it, struggled to its feet'and made off. As he was not looking for such large game his gun was loaded with fine shot, which probably only slightly wounded the deer. Mr. Ellis followed the trail for some time but was unable to get another shot. E. M. OWEN, having disposed of his interest in the Milling business, intends now to turn his attention to selling Farm Machinery and raising blooded Stock. Mr. Owen is one of our oldest and most respected citizens, in faet is one of the old landmarks of McHenry, having been in actual business here for the past thirty years, and during that long period has pursued that straight forward course which lias drawn about liim hosts of friends, who will be glad to know that he will remain among us. He has novV a number of very fine .. Wooded horses, cattle, hogs &e.. and we ^ersume will add largely to them the . •coming season. Being a good judge and a lover of good stock, he will of 4X>urse keep none but the best. We in­ tend visiting his stock yards at no dis­ tant day when we will tell our readers frh»t we see there. LUFF the new proprifcfior of the Fox River Valley Mill, is sparing neither tfaae nor money in ptrttii^' this Mill in order to meet the great and increasing demands upon it from the public. He is putting in new ma­ chinery, repairing old, and giving the Mill a general,cleaning ajid renovating, and when the repairs are completed the Mill will be able to turn out Flour second in quality to none in the West. Mr. Luft is a young and energetic busi­ ness man, and none who know him fear that the Old Fox River Valley Mills will lose any of theirformerpopularity under Ids control. He intends keeping on hand at all times the best of Family Flour, manufactured from choice Min­ nesota wheat, and do a general Milling business, and will make it his aim to satisfy hiseustomers in every particu­ lar. We bespeak for Mr. Luff a con­ tinuance of the very liberal patronage in the future accorded to his predecess­ ors in the past. XKAP YEAR PARTY. The Ladies of McHenry, knowing their rights and not being afraid to maintain them, have announced a grand Leap Year Party, U> take place at the Parker House, in |uik village, on Friday evening of nex/ wetak, Jan. 21st, at which time one of the grandest and most enjojable entertainments of the kind ever held in McHenry county is confidently anticipated. The names of the Ladies who have this matter in change is a sure guarantee that nothing will be done by halves, and we can as­ sure all those who may receive iuvitac­ tions that one of the plea&anteat ,eve­ nings of the season is in store for the to. The best of music has been engaged, the Ilall renovated in the best of order, and with Parker to get up the Supper there can be no failure. The tickets will be issued in a few days, and next week we shall si>eak more particularly of the arrangements. In. the wean time remember that the grand Leap Year Party of 1876 will be held tut the Parker House on .Friday evening, the 21st inst. P. S. Since writing the ab*ve we learn that the Geneva Lake Quadrille Band has been engaged for the occa­ sion, which is a sure guarantee that there will be nothing wanting in this lint;,as there is no better music in the country. Wife No. £». O. Ilall, of Ringwood, is now can­ vassing the town of McHenry. for that very interesting work entitled, "Wife No 19. by Ann Eliza Young," the nine­ teenth wife of Brigham Young. This Beautiful Volume contains a complete expose of the Wiles and Wickednesses of Mormonism from rtlie beginning, giving full and reliable aceouuts of the personal appearance aud character of every prominent individual in the Mormon Church and Territory, and re- revealing all the inner seeretsand more private workings of Polygamy. Its Author, from her peculiar position as the Wife of the Mormon Prophet, and from the fact that she was born a Mor­ mon, and spent the best years of her life under Mormon influences, possesses many advantages over every other writer, and these she uses siftiply but ably in tearing away all the veils of mystery, superstition, and iniquity with which the upholders of these abominable systems have sought to cover themselves from the public gaze. Thjs Book is embelished with nearly two hundred beautiful illustrations, and cannot help bht be of great interest to all, Mr. Hall will canvass the towns, of McHenry, Greenwood and Richmond, and when he calls we bespeak from our readers a careful examination of this work. It is neatly printed and bound ^nd jte sol<J at a reasonable price. SPLINTERS.

Some of our citizens are Courting thif week at Woodstock, IN the Chicago Ncw> Convenant of last week we find the following: "While in McFIenry, 111., recently^ we made the acquaintance of a remarkable young artist, Miss Clara B, Owen. She is but eighteen years of age, and two yearstj[go had not touched a brush, and she now makes portraits that all but speak<.A?>d that are models of artistic excellence. She has already produced .a large number that delight all ob­ servers, and she gives every promise of achieving great eminence in her ardu­ ous profession. We predict great suc­ cess.in the future of thisjoung painter, The above is but a just tribute to the great skill of Miss Owen as -a Por­ trait Painter, for we do not exagerate when we say that she has few equals and no superiors, not even among those who have made this great Art. a life-long ^tudy, Every picture that comes from under her magic touclv, as it were, is sure to delight all who see it. No word that we can say.will half do them jus­ tice. They must be seen to be appre­ ciated. Miss Owen is now painting some pictures for parties in Chicago and Englewood which are models of perfection. No person who' visits McHenry should fail to call at Mr. Owens' and see some of these Por­ traits.
