THURSDAY and Friday of last week were the coldest days of the season, the thermometer ranging from 18 to 24 degrees below zero in different parts of this village.

Mr. Bacon extends a cordial invi­ tation to all to come out and spend an evening in having a good social time Shelter has been procured for those having teams. AN exchange truthfully says: "The grand mistake made by newspaper patrons is--they expect a paper to live for a decade on nothing, and, then put up with a receipt of fifty per cent of its bills. And people will wonder why editors are baldlieaded and x-eyed and wicked." THE lieneva Lake iter aid has come to us for the past two weeks with only oue side printed. We like to see both sides of a story, and if we can't see but one much'prefer to have ourownchoice as to which side that shall be. That serenade must have had a demoralizing effect upon all hands. What did you say? Don't know What get your wife for a Christmas present? Then you should not fail to see the large stock of Furs, Dress Pat­ terns, Shawls. Felt Skirts. Elegant sets of Jewelry, Cloak Patterns, and scores of fancy articles which are ornamental and Useful, at P. D. SMITH'S. A CRUSTY old fellow entered the sanctum of one of our exchanges the other day and frantically asked, "what does tliat mean? There^s not one word of truth in it!" As he pointed to an objectionable article in the paper. "Well my friend," complacently re­ plied the editor,"then the whole thing is a typographical error." IF there is anyone who thinks tliat "figures wont lie" lot them read the following from nil exchange. In speak­ ing of a death of a lady it says: "Mrs. Barnes was born ih Yeoval, Somerset­ shire, England, March 17,186l,and come to the United States in 1&51, and to Illinois in 1860." It will be seen that these figures tell n* that she curao to the United States 10 years and to Ill­ inois one year before she was born. We don't believe it. ? e> As will be seen by a notice elsewhere in this paper, L. Botislet, Johnsburg, has advertised his store, dwelling, land, Goods and Household Furniture at Auction, the sale to commence on Tues­ day next, and continue one day of each week until all is disposed of. Mr. Bonslet has been in business at Johns­ burg for a good many years, and did' not decide until a few days since to close out but as he finds that old age is slowly but surely creeping on he has decided to close out everything at bottom figures. His stock of Goods in store is all fresh, and bought especially for the Fall and Winter trade, and buyers will And some of the rarest bargains ever offered in McHenry county. Bead his notice iu another column. THETuscola Review man, say* that 'the Photograph business must 1)1 mighty good up in McHenry," and then quotes prices at Ford's Gallery as fol­ lows: "Tintypes, four for $lt)0; the common card photos.$200 per dozen; the latest style frost and marble back­ ground, #300 per dozen. Van, we will not take any at those prices, as we can get all we want of our popular artist 'W. Boyee at three dollars per dozen." "John" you mistake the meaning of that "ad" entirely. Ford hajs been down your way getting married lately, and hearing that the editor of the Review was the homeliest man in the State, and fearing that you might hap­ pen up this way, and not having his machine insured he had this notice in­ serted for your especial benefit, On common subjects Ford can discount "Boyee" either on pictures or price.-- Nothing personal meant John.

THE January Number of "Peterson's Magazine," that paragon of the lady's books, is out in advance, aud is we think, the most superb we have ever seen. There are two beautiful steel engrav­ ings, one of them a little girl and water-lillies: the other "The Wander­ er," illustrating a story by Frank Lee Benedict. The mammoth colored fashion-plate is unusually elegant; it i« a picture as well as a fashion-plate, In all, there are some thirty fashiou patterns iu the number. But the great feature is a magnificeut colored pattern of a new kind of fancy work, "Ribbon Embroidery," which every lady will be wild to learn* aud which is, besides, tha most costly •inbe'lishment evtr seen in any magazitie. The stories are even better than usual and no lady's book has such writers as "Peter­ son," This magazine i« cheaper than ever for 1877. Single copies are two dollars a year, but five copies are Bent for $8.00, with an extra copy to the person getting up the club, or $9.60, with both an extra copy, and the larg£- sized steel engraving, "Cornwallis Surrender." All are postage free. For larger clubs the prices are even lower. Specimens are sent, gratis, to those wishing to get up clubs. Now is the time to get up clubs. "Peterson" is emphatically the magazine for the times. Address Charles J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street. Philadelphia, Pa. We will furnish Peterson's aud the PLAINDEALER oue year for $300.

SHALL "WE HATK A FAIR? have several times spoke*n of tho matter of organising a, Union Fair in this village, and all of our citi- zen\Jlave expressed themselves in favor of the move, but yet there is no one to put the ball in motion. The plan, as we stated it before in these columns is as follows: The towns in the ISast part of McHenry county unit* with those in the West of Lake and organize a Society to b* known as the Union Agricultural Society; to buy ten or fifteen acres of land in or near .Mc­ Henry, and hold their Fairs at this place. The plan is a feasible one, and has, we understand. been endorsed by several of the leading men now and formerly connected with the Lib*rty- vlll* Fair. The community in-the setion named is composed of the most prosperous and wealthy farmers to be found in the ,Nvrthwest, and should they take hold of a matter of this kind it will be sure of success. Adjacent to this village are grounds especially adapted to this use that could be pur­ chased cheap, where an abundance of water for all purposes could bo had, and other natural conveniences found in few places. Now the only question, ik who will take interest enough in the matter to make a start. The Liberty- rille Society will soon beelcctiug their officers and making arrangements for their next Fair, and we are informed that they look with favor upon a pro­ ject of this kind. Then why not have a meeting called and a committee ap­ pointed to wait upon the Society at their Annual meeting, and see if such arrangements cannot be made as will ensure the organizing of a Union Socir ety? Suclyau e nterprise would be a lasting benefit to all classes. Will not some of oureitizens take this matter in hand. , Home Blankets Horse lllauketsl Do not pay more than $2,25 per pair for One Buckle, Six pound Horse blankets.

At twelve yearsof age by the death of her mother ner residence was changed to Sterling, Mass., where until her marriage she found a home in the fam­ ily of Dea. Samuel Sawyer. She was married to Mr. Lucas Dunn in 1824, and Ave years later removed with her fami­ ly to Bolton. .Mass., in which place she continued to reside until the death of her husband in 1834. During this tifu* Mr. and Mrs. Dunn were employed as Steward and Matron of the Poor House in the town of Bolten, and after the death of her husbaud Mrs. Dunn re­ tained her position as Matron until her removal to Northboro, Mass., where she spent several years, having charge of a large boarding house at the Davis- vine Cotton Factory. Both at Bolt on and Northboro Mrs. Dunn's christian labors for the church and Sabbath School will be held in grateful reraem- braoce by those who were permitted to enjoy her instructions, and to witness her devotion to every good work. In 1843 Mrs. D. Was appointed Matron in the McLean Asylum at Somerville, Mass., and this responsible station she filled for 25 years with such entire sat­ isfaction to those associated with her that upon Iter resignation of the office, the Trustees of the institution pre­ sented her with a handsome testimon­ ial accompanied by nnqualified commen­ dation of her faithfulness in all her ar­ duous duties. Nor was the high esteem in which Mrs. Dunn was held in the Asylum confined to the officers of that institution alone. Hundreds of domes­ tics who were under her' superintend­ ence can testify to the uniform kind- nesrand fidelity with which she filled her relation to them, while the gentle­ ness and courtesy that marked her in­ tercourse with those in every station, wOn for her the esteem of all with whom she came in contact. But the infirmities of age were stealing upon her, and amid the regrets of all classes in Somerville. she came to Illinois to spend the evening of her life with her two sons, who had previously emigra­ ted to this distant State. Here, amid neighbors who honored her faithful ex­ ample as a christian, and children who revered her maternal fidelity, her long and useful life drew toward its peace­ ful close. A sufferer from a cancerous affection, she sought relief by a surgical opera­ tion, which promised for a time to re­ store her health. But from the physi­ cal prostration which followed she never rallied, and after three mouths of excruciating pain, God sent to her patient waiting soul the welcome sufn- mons to depart and be with Christ. She joyfully entered into her r««t on the 24 Ih of Nov. 1876. For more than thirty years Mrs. Dunn was a devoted member of the Congre­ gational church, and in the churches of this denomination at Bolton, Northboro and East Cambridge, Mass., as well as that of Crystal Lake, 111., her memory will be cherished as a bright example of fidelity in this as in aft tbe stations of life.

Good jokes are better than bad temper; mirth than Darkness and Gloom. A good story is told how a prominent Republican was sold by a well-feeling citizen a few nights ago here. Pat was jubilant and as he walked along the street kept shouting, "Hurrah for Tildin and Endricks! Tildin and Endricks is the meji." As he was .pass­ ing the Republican in a burst of enthu­ siasm he yelled, "Hurrah for old Ire­ land." "Hurrah for h--1." said the dis­ gusted Republican who is sometimes a little profane, Pat locked his eye with a comic leer and instantly re­ plied, "right be-jabers. Every man hurrah for his own country," That Republican subsided. This brings to miudlhe story of the boy who used to hurrah for Jackwm in the olden times. An did man was dis­ gusted with the youth aud thought to tease him by replying "Hurrah for Jackass." In all good nature the boy replied, "You hurrah for your candi­ date and I'll hurrah for mine.
