As many of your readers are well aware, the Bailroad, whi<Jh has heretofore left this place in the dark, now runs through it (that is the cars run through on it) bringiug^th them such accommodations and privileges AS only the Iron horse and his followers possibly can. By the side of the track stands one of the neatest depots found west of Chicago, built both for beauty and utility being alike attractive and commodiorC It would be impossible to do justice to the many branches of industry which flourish here were we to attempt It in one communication and as such enterprises ought to be no­ ticed in detail we will take time and gather such information as will enable, us to notice each one particularly, merely drawing an outline this fkne.-- Something odnn Idea of the amount of business done here ipay be formed \by the cars standing here being load­ ed and unloaded, there being as many as\25 or 30 per day, most »f them be- ingXinioaded or reloaded here. Mr. Smith has a stock of lumber Which can­ not be surpassed either for quality or quantity anywhere In this part of the country, he having three or four car­ goes of the very best Michigan lumber several carloads being boards from fourteen to twenty inches wide most­ ly clear. Those who contemplate building will do well to call and exam­ ine this lumber, even from a distance of ten miles, as Mr. Smith intends to make his own prices regardless of those who buy small lots on time. 8ituated close by the depot is the well known Flouring mill of Dillon A Carpenter, who shovel their wheat from ihe cars directly into the mill, having a side track running right to the door. They are selling an immense quantity of their celebrated^ Flour, supplying El­ gin, Dundee, Algonquin, and other places that are supplied with mills of their own, sending oft" several wagon loads per day. The Illinois Iron and Bolt Co.. the Valley Woolen Mills, and the Star Manufacturing Co.. are each doing a large business which we shall notice at some futiue time. •1r •>r NO. 20 McHenry County Agricultural Hoard Meeting called to order by James Crow President of the Society.

The following resolution wfts itbo Adopted, * ^ Resolved* That a committee of five be appointed to bring the subject of the (above) resolution of tnis Body be­ fore the Board of Supervisors of this county, and to request the favorable Action of that Hon. Body thereon. T. McD. Richards, Richard Wray, A. Thompson, A. Dike and L. Wood ard were appointed as said committee.

H. BTIirVXTT, Gen 1 Passcr^erAgen Our people will remember that a few weeks ago Angeli, the cashier of the Pullman Car Co., 'and a famous dandy in Chicago society--the pet of the Aristocratic ladies ot that city-- that this Angeli, we say, spread his bl ight wings and took his flight to ,some far away country, carrying off 6ome 970,000 of the money of the Pull man Co. Now, if anybody on earth must be robbed of #70,000, we should prefer it to be that Palace Car Co., which so systematically monopolizes the privilege of robbing the public by charging <2 for an hour or two of hot, uneasy slumber on the shelves of its bedecked and bedizened sleeping cars. But Angell's robbery was so uncom­ monly mean, having nothing about it of the common excuso of a defalcation and using of trust funds and Inability to replace them, but a low, vile. Inex­ cusable, detestable, deliberate viola­ tion of solemn trust. And picking of the pockets of his benefactors, with no apology of necessity or need, that ev­ erybody was Indignant and anxious to i*ee him punished. Well, tliAt very proper desire has been granted. Af­ ter spending many thousands of dollars in detective work, the company has tracked the dandy thief to Portugal and nabbed him there. We have no extradition treAty with PortugAl. The United States has never thought it worth while to make such a treaty with that little weak State, And that Is what caught the scamp. If he had t-~ = cc-tirttry with which we have such a treaty he would have gone tree, because extradition treaties binding nations mutually to surrender danger­ ous criminals, do not embrace offenders of his class But Portugal, bound by- no treaty, is yet sufficiently courteous to give up an offender upon the spe­ cial application of our goverumeut, and this It did in this case. This Au- gell, with his wings clipped, his plum­ age soiled And bedraggled, Is new on his way back to Chicago, to be tried like a common thief, and sent to break stone at Joliet, we hope, a WArning to all--especially to sweet-scented, kid- gloved. high-toned pick pockets.

Nine out of ten families might, if they knew how, live better at one-half of their present expenditure. But lu the matter of clothing the $a*e Is, If possi­ ble, still worse.

The expenditure of the MAN who CAII afford to live at the rate of 10,000 a year is imitated in brass, or by steal­ ing. by him who is entitled to spend 05,000. Afar oft, the #1,000 folks are envious and imitative in cheap furni­ ture and dresses which would lead to suspioion if every one did not know them to be the merest sham. .

Their plan is te give a trifle for the deAd bodies of the hogs, and then sell them to some sosp factory, which pays quite a little sum for them. These fellows, it appears, in this part of the country, have tried in every way which was possible And me An to spread the diseAse. Some three weeks ago a man came to the house of Chas. Hosier, and inquired of his wife It her husband had any dead hogs, stating that he would like to buy them if he bad. He was informed that the hogs were in go<?d health, and so left the, house. Thlfe Was at about ten in the morning. At noon Mr. Kosier found a small dead hog in the yard with about thirty of his large fat hogs, aud in less than ten days every one his hogs bad d ied o f the cho lera . There I s l i t t l e doubt but what this fellow who called in the morning had thrown this deAd hog into the yArd, There ARE also A number of instances where these' fel­ lows are known to have thrown por­ tions of diseased hdgs into yards of healthy hogs, Aud thus spread the dis­ ease.
