He has been in poor health for several years, but was around feeling usually well all day Jfrlday.j We have not learned the cause of his sudden death. An exchange says: Did you ever thfuk when a publisher has a certain circulation, that tbe number of read­ ers is four or five times that number? Take a-paper in any home in this com­ munity and there is more than one person readt it i yes in some homes by two or three families. One paper In a bar tier shop will be scanned by fifty men, A hotel will furnish half that many readers.

When we taka into con­ sideration the fact that our boys have been organized but about two weeks, and this their second game this season, the showing is good. We learn that there was not a single base hit made off of Granger's pitching and that Owen, catcher, had but one pass ball the gamej The boys speak In gli terms of the gentlemanly treat merit received at the hands of the Woodstock Nine, and assure .them that It will be fully returned at tbe first opportunity. ; • WHILE iu Wauconda one day last week, among other Improvements we could not help but notice that being made by H.

Gage nnd wife, mMfMt was cele­ brated at thfllr residence, in West Mo- llenrv. oa Wednesday last, July 4fh^ Uw wnlcfsT-greHToT tl^ sraeofr, and will long bo remembered with pleasure by the largo number there congregat­ ed to pay their respects to him and her who had, for half a century, travel- ed life's thorjy path together, and now, In their reclining ypars find themselves hale and hearty and able to receive and entertain their friends as In the days of long ago. At about 11 o'clock tbe gaesto began to arrive and by noon full three tiua- dred were assembled In the spacious residence and on the lawn surround­ ing, where ample* srrapgements had been made to accommodate and make as comfortable as the extreme warm weather would permit, all those who were there assembled. And ti^ gath- erlng was Indeed a notable one, and as we watched tbe old pioneers, as they met for the first time in many years, tho acquaintances of early days, the happy face and wafin hand grasp plainly pictured the pleasure tbey ex­ perienced la the meeting. Under the shade on tbe lawn ample tables were spread, and shortly after twelve o'clock the guests were invited to be seated and partake of the hos­ pitality there set forth. And here We must admit our Inability^ to give even a faint description of th«r bountiful re­ past there set forth. The tables fairly groaned under ttie load of good things, which were In such bouutlful suppi y that after tbe large number present had all been supplied though was left to feed as many more. -%ter the inner man had been fully sau^fied, a pro­ gramme of exercises, which had been arranged by the friends, carried out as follows: j * The first was some beautiful am! ap­ propriate music by the choir, after which Mrs. F. K, Gringer, by request, recited th|£ beautiful and appropriate Poem, by Will Carlton, entitled "The Golden Wedding." Dr. II. T. Brown then came forward, and In a lew well timed remarks, presented Mr. Gage, in behalf of a number of our citszens, with a beautiful Gold headed Cane, to which Mr. Jage responded in a feeling manner, Hon, F. K. Granger, in behalf oi a number of neighbors and friends then presented Mrs. Gage with a beautiful Gold Watch and chain, which, with the presents (a list ef which appears below) was received and acknowl­ edged by Mr. Ga£e vltb the remark ;bat he had meant to have it under­ stood thit he discountenanced (be bringing ot any presents, but that he would be indeed ungrateful, under tbe clrcuinsutnoes, to decline to re­ ceive them and thanked his friends In the most heartfelt manner fer their tokens of respect and esteem thereby manifested.; E, E. Thomas, of Woodstock, was then called .for aud reciftd tfiio inci­ dents of the early settlement of tble eounty, when Mr. Gage and himself were "Pork MercUauts," aud the trials and^vicisitudes they experienced while drawing their merchandise to market. Mr. Thomas was reminded by Mr. Gage that he bad forgotten a part of the story, whioh he finished, much to thetmerriment of theassembled guests. We have not attempted to give even a synopsis of the remarks of tbe speak­ ers so far, but H. W. MoLeau being tbe next one called for, aud being probably one of the first white men who settled in this town, we shall give his remarks verbatutn, as near as we oan recollect them. Judge McLean commenced bj saying. It is embarrassing to speak where so much Is expected oi me, for every oue knows I am a better speaker than Granger, and still 1 feel incompetent to do justice to tbe occasion. Then again I am so deaf that I don't know that 1 can make you understand mo. This bountiful repast for this multi­ tude of people may seetn wonderful to some but it is notuing for George and Martha. I expected it and my ex­ pectations liave not been disappointed 1 have known them of old--kne«v them when they lived on a farm. And I remember well that George always had his weaknesses. 1 remember how it was usual lor him to go out on the road about eleven o'clock and inter­ cept travelers and invite them In and tell them dinner would be ready in a few moments. I rather like such weakness. I admire it in any man Fifty years ago to-day Mr. Gage at­ tained a prouder position than was ever attained by any orowned head of Furope. Tbe monarch may have his millions ot low, servile, groveling subjects, but Mr. Gage was crowned monarch in the heart aud affections o( the best aud grandest woman iu God's unlveice. For fifty years they have traveled tbe highway of life together and now In ttie twlligtu of life the* words ef the Scottish baia^woufd very appropriately apply on this golden oc­ casion. The Judge here very dramatically and in bis Inimitable, artistic style rendered tkatlmmortal Poem, entitled "John Anderson my Joe," and con­ cluded by reciting facts and incidents iu the lives of bride and groem, with whom he bad been intimately ac­ quainted for over 60 years. This ended the speech making and after several pieces of fine music by the choir, those present had a regular old lashl'.ned, visit, renewing old acquaintances and forming new ones,', and thus tbe afternoeu was pleasantly spent.; Titer* were prjsent en this occasion all the family of children, grand-chil­ dren and great grand-children, viz :-- H.;C„and Alsena Smith, and'tbelr chil­ dren, Georgo G. and Ada G. Smith, Marion, Henry, Ma^tie and Alice Smith, Charles and Hattle Granger, Villa Smith, daughter of Geo. G. and Ada, Ellen M.

There his been bnt one death in fifty years, (that of a grand-child eighteen months old.) A brother, John Gage, aud his wife Portia, came from their home, In Vine land, N. J., nearly one thousand miles distant, and arrived just in time to at­ tend this celebration. Numerous rel­ atives fiom Chicago, Waukegan, Wil- nwtte. Oak Park and Lake County, were iu attendance.

He is now 86 years of age aud uls wite 75,both bale aud hearty. We are in­ formed that Johu Gage built the first flouring mill ever built in Chicago, in 1S36, on the corner of Caual aud Van Baron streets, with a capacity ll during 5U0 bushels per day ; and rere he bought and manufactured most of the best wheat from McHenry county. A. H. U&niy, n>w of thia town, ha6 undoubtedly sold him thousand* of bnaUuis of the finest samples of winter wuoat. John and <*oriia Gage celebrated their Golden Weddiug, eight years ago at Wili- mette. l'hey have mado their home proverbial for hospitality, Many children in indigent circuuistauces uave been takeu to their home and cared for, with a kind parent? afleciion and quail tied tor houorable positions in society.
