The above great consolidated circus and menagerie will exhibit at McHenry on Friday. August 23th, 1885. Below we give extrnc.s from papers where this circus has exhibited: Burr R>bbins' show was a decided success. For a number of days the peo­ ple had looked forward to it, and they made their minds up to witness the performance. The street parade was very fine, and the performance under the tent all that could be expected. There were no gambling devices hang­ ing on to it. nor so far as we could learn, no gang of thieves following it Altogether, everybody was wel pleat­ ed."-- Lima (O.) Oaxette. Thursday was a magnificent day.' The streets were lined with people. Burr Bobbins' great show arrived in the city at an early hour and pitched their tents on the old fair grounds. The street parade at 10 e'clock was one of the best ever seen In Fremont. The circus was an excellent performance, and was witnessed by huge audiences, both moruing and «veaiog."-/remw< (O,) Journal.

IT is a fact worth noting that most of our successful business men, and the meu whose active brains control and direct the business enterprises of the day, are graduates of business colleges, and in most cases poor boys, whose only capital at the beginning was their business education and their integrity. And It is also a fact that the great Metropolitan Business College, of Chi­ cago, is educating mare young men for business, aud qualifying them tor suc­ cess in life than almost any other insti­ tution in the United States. Its ex­ perienced faculty, thorough system and extensive facilities are scarcely equaled anywhere. To any of our young men who expect to a tend a Commercial Collage, and there are many who ought to attend--we say, go to Chicago, the great busluess centre of t'ie Northwest and attend the "Metropolitan." Even If it does cost a trifle more, go to the best. By addressing the college, or calling at this office, our readers can obtain full Information regarding this justly famous school.

The fitrmer, his wife and Children, were there also. It seemed as if sne-halt the residents ef this city joined the happy throng. The Queen Ann Harvest picnics are growing to be something the people In other localities would do well to pattern after. The "Woodstock Cemetery Association" has been chartered under the laws of the State or Illinois for the beautifying and improvement of OHk'aml cemetery in this citv, and the fol­ lowing officeis were elected last Tuesday evening: President, J.

It Is just what has been needed for year* past. Every man and woman In our ci ty should become a mem­ ber of the '-Woodstock Cemetery Associa­ tion." sow AND AGAIN. Early last week Peter Schneidcr, of the town of Greenwood, died very suddenly. He had but just started to dress on the morning of the 16th when he compUined of a pal.i in his chest, and immediately laid down again. His wife proceeded to apply something she thought proper, outwardly, but he only lived a few moments. He had slept soundly all night and appeared as well as usual upon re­ tiring. He had Just flniehed stacking, which he did himself, and the day preceding his death had picked cucumbers all day. Mr Schneider was about M years of age, and was a man universal!y liked and respected by his neighbors and acquaintances. A neighbor, John Bozler, who sat up with the coipse of his friend during one ef the nights previous to burial, was heard to state th*t "he wished When It was his ttrte to go, to die as did Mr. S.--suddenly.

Chicago, tuu commercial city of the Northwest, has again been selected as the place for holding the great Agri­ cultural and Industrial Fair of the State of Illinois, and the time has been appointed for September 14 19.1885.
