THE dancing public should bear in mind the Thanksgiving Party, at the Parker House, on Thursday, to morrow evening. An enjoyable time may be expected. ' A PHYSICIAN says: "Girls in feeble health should take a tramp through the woods or fields every day," but an ex­ change wants to know "what if the tramp should object to- being taken through the woods oc fields every day by girls in feeble health ?" THE sad news came on Saturday last of the death of Howard Cole, son of H. M.Cole^of Richmond/ He was a young, man highly respected by all, and his early death will be a sad stroke to his young wife and afflicted parents. His disease was typhoid fever. THE use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, stimulates the secretions, and imparks new life and vigor to every function of the body. For nearly half a century, it has remained unrivaled as the best blood medicine ever discovered Be convinced by a trial. A TELEGRAPHIC dispatch .states; "Tie bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Brunning, of Prescott, Ont., were found in their house yesterday. The man evidently killed himself and then took poison." Now, why didn't he bury himself instead of taking poison? We were never edu­ cated in the business, but we have given him a sound pointer, we think.

T. Eidredge's poultry house has been booming the past month, and the amount of dressed poultry he has been shipping, is ahead of all former years. ,, -He pays the highest market I ""pooriand it pays the/farmers to bring their turkeys, chickens and ducks a long way to sell them to him. Take your poultry to El dredge if you want a good price. As church fairs, baaars, sociables, etc., in order, the follow ing may be of value: Take nine reasonable sized oys­ ters--not to large--too each five gallons of water, and tie them up carefully in a cloth. If the fair is to continue only three days, cheese cloth will do; but if it holds a week and a large attendance is expected, it is better to use a good, heavy quality of duck, so that the bivalves shall not lose their entire flavor the first few evenings. The most satisfactory financial results have been obtained from above, and there is a local legend, pretty well authenticated, which relates that a youth once murmured in an awe-stricken whisper, after he had tasted such a mi*, tare: "I think I detect a flavor of optora! , PIBfOMAXi Mas.

DON'T throw away your old rubber boots and shoes, says an exchange. Save them for the agents of chewing gum man­ ufactories, who are now buying them up in all parts of the country. Pulverized rubber boots and overshoes, flavored with vanilla, strawberry and other ex­ tracts makes the nicest chewing gum. GEO. W. BESLEY, on the West Side, is putting in the finest line of Holiday Goods this year ever brought to this county. He believes, and in fact knows from actual experience, that it pays to keep the best goods, and at his store, in a few days, you will find a full stock, both of the useful and ornamental, suit­ able for presents for children or grown people. Look out tor his Annual An­ nouncement soon. MARRIED, at the residence of the bride's parents, in this village, November 23, 18&.9, by the Rev. R. K. Todd, of Wood­ stock, Warren Thomas and Miss Lovina Grimolby, youngest daughter of C. Grim- olby, both of McHenry. The presents were numerous and flfie, an elegant dinner was served and the happy couple departed on the 3:26 p. m. train for a short trip to Madison, Wis. Their many friends wish them boa fDy» age on the sea matrimonial. Fair Meeting. Next Monday, December 2dA at the Court House, Woodstock, at 3 p.

WBMHT, Secretary. DR. P. L. MCKINNIR, who was ousted from the executive council of the Modern Woodmen, has been re-instated by order of the court. He went before the court at Morrison and told the story of the frauds practiced by J. C. Root, the head consul, and the court issued an- injunc­ tion re-instating him, and forbidding the issue of any certificates unless approved by him, forbidding also the removal of any headquarter documents from the State. It now looks as if Root and his allies were to be fully exposed and their frauds unearthed. For the good of the order it is hoped justice may be done. GIRLS, if your fellow stays too late when he comes "a courting," try this little game on him (advises theForreston Herald) and see bow nicely it works: Give him a pencil and paper, with one of your sweetest smiles, and say: "Now make a row of eleven ciphers; now make a perpendicular, mark downward, at­ tached to the right of the first cipher, upward on the right of the fourth; down­ ward on the right of the fifth; upward on the right of the seventh and eighth; downward on the tenth." The mark should be half an inch long. Ask him to read what he has written. The effect is electrical. SUPPOSE a man and a girl were mar­ ried, (which of course is impossible), that at the time of the hymeneal contract the man was 35 years old and the girl 5, which makes the man seven times as old as the girl. They live together until the girl is 10, this makes the man 40 years old and four times as old as the girl; they live until she is 15 years old, and the man being 45, this makes the man three times as old; they live until she is 30 years old; thiB makes the man 60, only twice as old. Now as we havn't time to work it out,' perhaps some oi our readers will be good enough to tell us how long they would have to lfre to make the girl as old as the man?' THESE are more young men in the pen- itentiaries in this country learning trades than there is outside of them. The prin­ cipal cause of this is that we are educat­ ing the young men for idle gentlemen, trying to make lawyers, preachers, doc­ tors and clerks out of material that is needed for blacksmiths, carpenters, ma­ chinists, and other "hewers of wood and- drawers of water." It is a mistake, and a big one, to teach boys and girls that labor is disgraceful, and to do nothing for a living is more becoming the society in which they have respect. Hang such society! It is rotten to the core and is ruiuing our country to-day; and there are many sons and daughters who are now being educated to play the part of "leading lady" and "walkinggentleman" in the great drama of life, who will light out for the poor house or the peniten­ tiary before the curtain drops on the last sad act of the play to which they have been educated by their too indulgent parents.--.Ex. fAQKovar Sanson's Bargain Tab*, TBI McC&all Optera Company begdii its annual enjfAgemfnt at the Chicago Optera House Monday evening last in Ton Suppe's masterpiece of "Clover." Von Suppe has been conceded to be the fore-' most among the German composers, the most familiar of his works in this coun­ try being "Fatinitzo" and "Boccaccio." "Clover" possesses all the vigor and daintiness of orchestration which has characterized his other works, and the plot of the opera is quite as humorously and dramatically sustained. The Mc- Caull Company has long been recognised us the leading organization of the kind in this country, and its strength this season is undiminished. The opera and the company have scored the hit of the season in this line of work so far, and the theatre has been crowded and is likely to be for some time to come at every per­ formance. Mr. DeWolf Hopper one of the most grotesque comedians on the stage, has a part which admirably fits him. Miss Marion Manora impersonates the heroine. She is by long odds the bebt soprano McCaull has ever had. She possesses a voice <&great power, sweet­ ness and flexibility, Ind is an actress of unusual skill. Then there is Mr. Eugene Oudin, who is recognized as the best bari tone in this country on the light opera stage; while Mme Cottrelly is a comedi­ enne who has a national reputation. In addition to these people there is Jeff de Angelis, a comedian, who first made his great success in the west at the Chicago Opera House, in "Ruddygore." He is a skillful dancer, and has a rare apprecia­ tion of delicate humor. Although "Clover'f has proved such a hit the inten­ tion of the management is to change the bill so as, during the engagement, to pre­ sent for the first time in Americu, Bellin­ ger's new opera, "Captain Fraceassa." Del linger will bo remembered as the writer of "Don Caesar" and "Lovaine," two operas that made great successes at the Chicago Opera House. Chicago, Union Pacific ittd North-West­ ern line.

I WILL hear your song sublime, some other time, he said, pulling away sudden­ ly and leaving his coat button in my hands. But he didn't get far. He was de­ tained by rheumatism in his left knee. I pressed into his hand a, small package. The next day he ran to meet me and said Wonderful this Salvation Oil, aiti't it?" The Fiav--Pubiie Sohools. I commend to each Department the patriotic practice of the Post in the De­ partment of New York of presenting on the 22d of February, the birthday of the Father of his Country, the American flag to such public schools as are not yet in possession of one. Let the children re­ ceive the Stars and Stripes from the men who placed their bodies as a living wall between it and those who would tear it down. The future citizens of the Repub­ lic are being educated in the public schools; the flag of their country should ever be before them as an object lesson. From its stars and stripes let them learn the story of liberty as exemplified in the lives of Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and the patriotic sons of the Republic, who, by their valor, suffering and death ren­ dered the imperishable fame of this illus­ trious trio possible. Let them learn to look upon the American flag "by angels' hands to valor-given," with as much rev­ erence as did the Isrealites look upon the ark of the covenant. Let the 8,000,000 boys and girls in our elementary schools be thus imbued with a reverence for the flag and all it represents. Then the future of the republic is assured, and that flag shall forever wave > "O'er the land of the free ) And the home of the brave." --John A. Warner.

Croup is the terror of young mothers especially during the early winter m6nths, as it is then most prevalent. To post them concerning the cause, first symp­ toms, treatment, and how to prevent it, is the object of this article. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptoms of croup is hoarseness; it is a peculiar hoarseness, easily recognized, and once heard* always remembered. Usually a day or two be­ fore the attack, the child becomes hoarse and gradually shows symptoms of hav­ ing taken cold, and this is where the mis­ take is usually made, the mother think­ ing h§r child has just taken cold, gives it no especial attention until awakened in the night by the violent coughing of the child, finds it has the croup, and remem­ bers it has had a cold or been hoarse for a day or two. Such circumstances often occur, and in many cases the mother has nothing in the house that will relieve it, and may be several miles from a physi­ cian or drug store. You can well imag­ ine the situation and her distress. The time to act is when the cMld first becomes hoarse, or shows symptoms of having taken cold; if Chamberlain's Cough Reml edy is freely given from that time on, all tendency to croup will-disappear and al- danger be avoided. The remedy prevents fully ten thousand cases of croup every year. It is the main reliance with many mothers throughout the Western States and territories; they have learned its val­ ue and how to use it, and in those fami­ lies croup is seldom known because it is always prevented. Can any mother who has small children afford to*be without such a remedy? It costs but fifty cents, can she afford to take the chances for so trivial an amount? For sale by G. W. Besley.
