V WE would call the attention pf our readers to the Prospectus of the Chi­ cago Inter-Ocean, the stalwart Repub­ lican paper of the West, which can be found In another column. It Iscertaln- ly the best political paper In Chicago. WE are informed by Prof. R. I). Scott that he contemplates bringing out the "Haymakers," in tills village at an early day. That he will take hold of it is a *ure guarantee of success and ourcitilens may look out for a rich treat. Jfff|FLOLA8 MCLADORK, one of the oldest German settlers in this town, died at the residence of his sou three uiilt'S not tli of Johnsburgh on Sunday night last, aged about 73 years. He came to ibis town about tin* year 1841. and has resided here constantly ever since. For the past five years he has been totally blind. He was a man who was honored and respected by all Who knew him. WE learn that a very pleasant sur­ prise was given Mr. and Mrs. Beu Hanley, on Saturday evening lait. At about 8 o'clock the young folks to the number of about eight couples, took possession of their residence, and hav­ ing brought ample refreshments with them, proceeded to enjoy themselves in the best of manner. Altliouj^i sur­ prised Mr. aud Mrs. Hanley were equal to the occasion, and a universal good time was the result. THE following is the programme for the regular meeting of the Red .Rib­ bon Club, to be held in the Universal- let Church, in this village on Friday Evening: Instrumental Music Miss Elolse Waite. . . - " Reel tatlon.

THE liest business men ineveryjnwn and those having the most trade, know and affirm that advertising pay*. It is on!}' the one-horse cornyrn, which does no busines^to speak of and never advertises, which goes on the principal that advertising does not pay. Such business men are constsuitly losing their trade to the more enterprising ones who have goods that they are not ashamed to recommend. Our rates for advertising are lower In proportion to' the circulation than any other publica­ tion In the count v. THERE will be general Exercises at the Public School, this Wednesday evening, commencing at 7J o'clock. A Debate, Recitations, Ac., will be the order, and a very interesting time may be expected. It is hoped that the pa­ trons of the School will make it a point to be present. PROF. R. D. SCOTT, will meet all who wish at the UnlverSalist Church on Monday evening next,for the purpose of organizing a Class In Vocal Music.-- The first evening will be free. Prof. Scott Iran old and experienced Teach­ er, and we trust he may get a large class. This is an opportunity that should not be missed by the younger portion of our community. THERE IS now a prospect tliat they may be able to fill the Ice Houses In this village yet.* AT'this wrltlug. Tuesday afternoon, about five inehes is reported on the Pond, aud still it is freezing. If the weather does not change our citizens will commence tilling their Ice Houses by to-morrow or next day. And undoubtedly Shedd A Co. will commence operations next week. A MAN will^jend an hour hunting up a board and painting an advertise­ ment on it to be nailed up where, per­ haps, fifty diflerent persons m?y see it In the course of seven days, when at a trifling cost he would put the same an­ nouncement ia a newspaper, wliere it would reach three thousand diflerent readers within three days after the newspaper was printed. That's the difference between olu fogyism aud enterprise. BT the latest postal decision, busi­ ness men can actually make money by getting their bills aud statements of accounts printed. Statements of ac- c-ou»t aud bills of sale that are made out on paper that is printed at the head, can be sent through the wail for one cent, the envelope being felt un­ sealed, whereas If made out ou im­ printed paper they will cost three cents. Thus, by patronizing the print­ er* two cents can be saved ' on every bill or statement that la sent thrtmgb the mails. " . . . j&fc..». - .fcJLr&Ut - THE "Ivy Social Club* announce their Second Party to take place at Grand Hall, on Fiiday evening of this week, Feb. 6th, and that the Gerinauia Band, of Chicago, will again furnish the music. The first Party by tills Club was one of the most pleasant aud enjoyable aflulrs of the season, the manager* sparing no paius to make it pleasant for all. The.new Hall was In the finest condition and the music su­ perb, and when they broke up In the "Wee sma' hours." every one there voted the "Ivy Club" a grand success. If you ever dair.ee. bo sure aud give them a call on Friday evening. WE learn there w'll be LiterarvExer-' cises in the Brick Church, on Thursday evening Of this'week.

McLean, on Tuesday evening of last week, came off per announcement, but owing to the bad weather and horrid condition of the roads, was very poorly attended, but those who were there speak well of "Hanks" first eflorls iu thi*, to him. new Lecture field. "Hank" has been One of the most successful political speakers ou the stump, but having abandoned politics entirely, he says he proposes now to enter a broader and more honest field of labor. His Lectures are interspersed with stories such as only "Hank'v can tell, and we predict Bob Ingersoll will have to look to his laurel* on this question of'souls" which he Is talking about. He proposes to deliver this Lecture In other towns in this and Kane comities, and are pre­ dict he will have a good hearing. THE Western Fanners Almanac, of which we spoke last week, has a circu­ lation of over 100.000 copies, and no farmer who has ever seen one would , hewithout.il for five times its cost. This valuable book for 1880 contains, initdditiou to what we noticed last week, the following valuable articles and hints, all more or less useful to the practical farmer. "The Catalpa Tree." by E. E. Barney, Dayton Ohio. "Out new Sugar Plants." by F. L. Stewart, Pennsylvania. "Improvements of the Navigation of the Mississippi River and it* Tributaries." by Hon. Eugene Underwood, of Kentucky.

The low price, lOcents at which this valuable book is sold makes It within the reach of all. This Almanac has now been published filly- two years, and enters upon its fifty- third feeling that U Is the farmers friend, and having imparted its valua­ ble information in over 100.000 house­ hold in the iand. has just cause to feel proud of ;Its success.

Pinafore was brought out at Riverside Hall, In this village,, ou Thursday aud Friday even­ ings last, under the direction of Prof, R. D. Scott mid family, and wasagiaud succesa lu every particular. This is said to be one of the most difficult Operas, ar.d many, at the outset, enter- taiued doubts..its to its being success lully brought out here, but we are hap py to announce its perfect success which Is a great credit to the manage incut of Prof. Scott, as well as to th< home talent of McIIeury. Time and space will not permit us to speak of all as we would wish, but we cannol re­ frain from noticing a few of the lead­ ing characters. Miss Mabel Scott, in the character of "Jose phi lie " could no't be surpassed. She is a splendid singer, while her acting of the character was perfection itself Those who have seen this play In Chicago and other large cities, say that they never saw Miss Scott's character of "Josephine" surpassed and seldom equaled. She is indeed a Star. Mrs. Scott, as "Butter­ cup," was also at home in her charac­ ter, her splendid voice and acting mak­ ing i t seem almost real. Miss Mary L. Owen, as "Hebe, cousin to the Ad­ miral. and leader among his sisters his cousins and his aunts." done herself great credit in her character, her sing­ ing being splendid and her acting easy and graceful. Prof. Scott, as **Slr Joseph Porter, K. C. B.," C. P. Waite. as "Captain Corcoran," C. B. Jordan, as "Ralph Raekstraw," and Win. Slers, as "Dick Deadeye." all took their char­ acters In a manner not to be surpassed. In short, all done themselves honor, and brought out Pinafore in a manner of which they may well feel proud, and proves what We have often said before that McIIeury has home talonf. sur­ passed by no town in tire Norlhwe-t. Great credit Is din» Prof. Scott aud Family for their great labor in the re­ hearsing and bringing out «»f this beau­ tiful Opera. As a Di reel or and Teach­ er Prof. Scott has few equals aud no superiors. There is some talk of re­ peating It at no distant day. otm DKV GOOLIA MKKCHAMT& We take pleasure in noting the suc­ cess of any aud all businessmen In Our ' midst, and when we see In our stores parties from adjoining towns doing their trading, we can but come to the conclusion tjiat our merchants, bv square dealing and low prices, are ofleringthe buying puhliciuducemeuts that they do not find elsewhere. l©ur merchants have put in this Winter un­ usual large stocks, and now can be found at Colbv Bros., Perry A Martin's, Stevens A Schnorr's, or Fitzsiinmons & Evnuson's. large and well selected stocks of Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots and Shoes. Hats ai.d Ca|is. Groceries. Crockery. Ac., and if you want <o buy they will please you both lu totality aud price. The four firms above mentioned ,have well established re.putallons for keeping none but the best of Goods, and the fact that they draw customers from a radius of ten and twelve miles around.,is sufficient evidence tli.it they are satisfied they can do better In trade here than el>ewbere. In thl« line ol trad*e McIIeury is to-day ber hind no town In McHenry cocnity.-- McHenry lias just cau>e to feel proud of her enterprising and go-ahead mer­ chants.

OARLETO*. the famous Letrttfr- er and Author, will deliver the Fifth Lecture of the Course before the McHenry Lecture Association, on Fri­ day evening of next week, on his pop­ ular subject, "The'Wolden Horse." Carleton is one of the most popular Lecturers In the field, aud never falls to draw a full house . wherever kuown. Below is what a Rutdiville, 111., ex­ change says ofhim: The people of Rushvllle never en­ joyed a l it her treat than was furnished them on Friday uight last, by that dis­ tinguished poet aud author. Will Carltou. His theme. "The Golden Horse." though a mystery to the uu- iuu iated. soon becomes apparent, as under ihe figure of a golden horse, in Imitation of the historic Trojan horse, he Introduces the idol, opens the secret door, aud one by one lets out upou so­ ciety, and depicts in vivid colors, the leading vices of the day. This lie does in poetic metre throughout, during which he introduces many of his best poems, the whole a poem of rare merit. No one can listen to his lecture without being improved. He had a large and intelligent audience, ami a handsome profit was netted for the benefit of the M. K. Sabbath School library. No one should fail tb hear hi in on Friday evening of next week, the 13th. Wehopetosee the Uuiversiilist Church filled to Us utmost capacity. Ail will be wet] pleased. v Notice.
