I really think that a home­ opathic correspondent Is best calculat* ed to satisfy the wants of the reader, as the two frcqueut doses of copious effusion are apt to weaken the mental stomach,or render it Incapabio of di­ gesting our food. There are other, however, and more wholesome con­ siderations which have kept your cor­ respondent silent and left him steepod in despondency. He was once a happy man but instead of letting well enough alone, he has becu thinking of getting married. I hope this is a sufficient excuse for letting correspondence slide, as only those who have been there can realize the vastness of the conception. It is a sort of Isthmus of Panama whicli has got to be bared alone and unaided, although some folks suggest the idea of a yawning abyss to be bridged, according to that precept advising the matrimonial ac­ robats to look before they leap. All this looks bad enough on the face Of it, and that wild cat leap above referred to has a very depressing effect on the mind of your correspondent. Kp Dulcinea lias hove in sight yet, btit he expects to meet the enemy at any given time or moment; his expenses are now on a war footing, and his troubles already great, In anticipation. Measles and wlfooplng cough are lurk­ ing around every fence corner and ad bsre like burrs to his raiment. Red gums and piercing teeth are belchtng their music which not even worm cakes will assuage. The question of primary schools, the price of candy, baptismal and divorce fees, the wages of doctors, the price of flour, the prob­ lem of protection versus free trade In relation to calico ar.d kindred matters of an all-engrossing interest, all serve to fill up your dejected though thought­ ful correspondents leisure, aud enable him to realize (proud thought) that he now stands foremost in the van of useful men in his generation. He is losing flesh over it, but it Is shed in a noble cause, After settling the much vexed question whether it is lawful for a woman to woo, entrap, or other­ wise beguile a man by wiles or artful devices, or under plea of goodness and loveliness before she is competent to support a husband; how often she will lift the carpet in the course of a year; whether the washing will be carried on without giving the husband one week's clear notice; and who is to get Up first to light the tire in the winter, or retire itrst to tha cold room at night, and whether ten years court­ ship Is considered a reasonable time to promote a Bound knowledge of each other, discover incompatibilities of temper, if aity.ra*tte#a ol fradkloa and religion an# germs of..latent disease lurking lnh«r system--wUen all these things and many more are definitely settled, it will remove a great incubus from your correspondent's mind, and enable him to resume light duties ouce more. Inra afral d'that!this sort of style may be found scarcely relevant in an annual message to the PUIKDEALGK but Fox Lake is not Washington, VJS- itors and all excitement is gone, and we are left to draw upon empty treas­ ures for information. At this time of the year, also, it is usual fbr corres­ pondents to count their money, invest their earnings and prepare balance sheets for the forthcoming year. Yet in spite of all these encroachments on my time and a total dearth of measles I may yet find something to say Fox.Lake has well maintained Its reputatiou tnis year. Doubtless more visitors have come than ever before More improvements iiave been added and even more are promised for the coming year. The programme for the n$W club Is a smith has earued a high i#jN!t§tlon In boring guns, so jauch so that a large number of our Chlcaeo sportsmen are entrusting .their fine guns to tils care. Fie has a theory of his own which 1s invariably successful as in uo case does he fall to secure vastly Improved pat­ terns, and that without damaging the gun. In fact, some zftses pronounced hopeless by eminent gunsmiths of Chi­ cago, such as tapering bores, which could not ho remodeled, have Teturned their patients to Mr. Howard, who has restored thein to the pattern desired. Close shooting is the one thing par- tlcularly needful In duck hunting, and 1 have volunteered these remarks for the benefit of the many who may be Interested in these matters. Mr, Mudgett is evidently no leit disc tinguished as a fiddler, and on tlie evening preceding his departure I en­ joyed the rare opportunity of listening tosomeofhls fantasia* accompanied by Mrs. Howard at the organ. Friend Mudgett's place, however, Is not at the orchestra but near the silent guest at sn Irish wake. A rake of that bow will at once let loose Gabriel and all his trumpets, and a dead man will surely rise, change hands and swing around in a merrv cotillion. . T. > WAUCONOA.

Mr, Crisp's chronic hoarseness does not materially affect his representation of Rip, and in many respocts he seems admirably adapted tw assume the character. In fact, some of his critics considered that he entered almost too heartily into the spirit of the play. Wednesday evening it seemed too true to nature. Notwithstanding the horrible con­ dition of the roads, people did manage tp get to town, to make things lively in the stores Friday and Saturday, and. fill the Baptist Church Saturday even­ ing to witness the exercises at the Christina? Tree. The exercises were very pleasing indeed, and were not so long us to prove tiresome.

We also hear of a series of cottages to be built on the south shore, by another Chicago community Also of a new management in Colonel Lippincott's Hotel. The minors of that railroad have redoubled once more, and the shrill voice ot the snorting horse already disturbs the slumber of our citizens, strange jumble of hickory nuts, night mare and "tickets if yon please." Some three years'ago a swarm i>f wheelbarrows coming from the direc­ tion of the Northern Lights passed through some village above us con sighed to Libertyville and the new railroad.
