We learn that quite extensive lm« proveineiits are being contemplated at Fox Lake this spring, and the season at this popular summer resort premise* to be a lively one. Among th# im­ provements which have cora« to our knowledge, are the following: Frank Sayles will build an addition to his hotel and put his house In shape to accommodate hi* large and Increas­ ing business. The Milne property, which adjoins the Fox Lake Club House, has bee* purchased by Ed Howard, who will im­ mediately build an addition to the house and open it as i hotel. J. Woodard has moved a large house ou Crab Apple Island, which he will flt up and opeu as a boarding bouse. LippinceU's large and beantlftd hotel is already open and ready to re­ ceive guests. As we said before* the season promi­ ses to be e lively one, and hunters, fishermen and pleasure seekers gener­ ally can rest assured of finding good accommodations at all times. There are now three steamboats on the river, which will leave McFleury on the arrival of trains, which assures quick and pleasant transportation to one of the pleasautest sumnicr resoris In the Northwest.' /'DIED.-- JO MR Henry, April 2, of hvdroreph- 'aius. .IKNN'IK, ;iURCTI (i VMI-S, 7 months and 8 .lavs, only daughter of MI. and Mrs.Stephen Raymond. ^"Little Jennie was a bright *mt w some child, much beloved by he? asso­ ciates. Of remarkable precocity, she learned Iter les«ons at school .with great ease, and was making much prog- ress, Entering school last Septetube hardly knowing her letters, in a few weeks she passed the primer, and was put into the first reader. She learned readily and gave promise of a bright career. But all this was cut.oft in the very bud of promise, last fall, by a fit of sickness from which she never wholly recovered. When she came down with the measles, her constitu­ tion, already enfeebled by long illness, broke do$;n utterly, and slue passed away. To her parents, she was a lov­ ing daughter, to her playmates, a merry-he ailed, kind little friend, and to her teacher an impress aide pupil.
