Thunder, lightning, rai and wind, with low, dark, hangingcloud made the speue to those who were out, one of awful grandeur. MARSHAL HOLMES is on the war path and persons who are allowing their cat tie, horses and hogs to run upon the streets had better "look a little out," Or they may find them in the Pound with a dollar fine attached for each one. THE idea that April showers bring forth. May flowers seems to bean obsolete one this year. May storms bring June rheumatisms, would be a better reading except that it would not, perhaps, be quit^go romantic. As will be seen by the proceedings i another place in this paper, the McHenry Horse Sale Association is a fixed fact, and the first meeting will be held on Thursday, June 12th, and the second Thursday in each month thereafter. The necessary funds have been guaranteed and the committee are now at work in such a mauner as will ensure success, and be a lasting benefit to the town. THIS from an exchange: A young lady asked a young gentleman if he could transpose the letters in "enough," so as to form two words that meant not enough. He took pencil and paper and struggled over the problem some time when suddenly his face was illuminated by a look of holy joy. The character stood out before him in this form--"one hug." v f- W E have heard of |»eople who were so small in their dealings with their fellow- men that nine hundred and. sixty-one of their souls could rattle around in a mus­ tard seed, and none of them know that the other nine hundred and sixty were in existence, but they don't compare with those who ask their local paper to give them a complimentary notice and then go and get their printing done at Bome other office. Such people Will get their reward in--well, we won't say where. Ice Cream Festival An Ice Cream Festival will be given by the M. E. Sunday School, at the City Hall, on Monday evening May 19.

W' During the severe storm on Friday night last, the large stock barn of Willard Colby, just north of this village, was struck by lightning, and together with almost its entire contents was destroyed. The fire broke opt about halt; past one o'clock, and so rapidly did it ^ftvad that it was with difficulty that his horses and cows were got out, while one hundred and five sheep, twenty lambs and a fine young Devon bull perishftd in the flames. The sheep were all choice breeding ewes, which at this time of year makes the loss much heavier. The following is a partial list of the contents of the barn which were destroyed: 105 sheep. 20 lambs, 1 Devon bull calf, 40 hens, 30 tons tame hay, 1 binder, 2 sets harness, 400 bushels oats, 50 bushels winter Wheat, 5 tons ground feed, 6 bushels grass seed. 100 pounds wool, 30 tons straw, besides a large number of other small articles. The barn was one of the largest in this section, was built only a few years ago at a cost of upwards of $2000. Mr. Colby estimates his loss at $4000. Insured for $2000. The loss is a severe one and Mr. Colby has the sympathy of the com munity in his misfortune. dffffft'rl *1p SiHMi Hebron Medal Contest.

ON Monday evening, May 19th, the "Bostonians Opera Company" begin a spring season of opera at the Chicago Opera House. The opera to be presented will be "Don Quixote," in which this cel­ ebrated company of singers have made the greatest hit of their career. "Don Quixote" is the work of two Chicago writers, and when first produced in Bos­ ton last November, it ran through the entire engagements in that city, where it was pronounced the most melodious and funniest comic opera seen there in years. The reading public is generally familiar with the celebrated novel of Don Quixote It abounds in coruic incidents, and the two principal characters of the Don and bis squire, Sancho Panzo, are conceded to be two of the greatest comic charac­ ters ever created. There is also a strong romantic story iu the opera, but the humorous element predominates. The opera has already been seen in every prominent American city excepting the home of the authors, where it will doubt­ less be received with favor. There is no more popular company before the public than the Bostonians, which, under the name of the Boston Ideals, won popular favor for ten years, presenting the best light operas in most artistic style. The cast of Don Quixote will include all the favorites of the company--Miss Marie Stone, John Kail, H. C. Barnaby W. H. McDonald, Miss Jessie Bartlett Davis, Miss Juliet Corden, Miss Carlotta Ma- couda, George Frothinghani, EdwinHoff, Eugene Cowles, Miss Josephine Bartlett, and Fred Dixon. The scene of Don Quixote is laid in Spain, and this gives an opportunity for most beautiful scen­ ery and costume-*, and the opera pre­ sents a series of gorgeous stage pictures, together with beautiful music and bright gobool Report.^" - r-,: The following is fiie report of ijie Mc­ Henry Public School for ndibtitli ending MayO, 1890: " HIGH SCHOOL.^;, * Total numberenr (>1 IimI .......

A mouth may not be a very long time for a boy to absent him­ self fit)in school, but it is long enough for his class to m<Sve away from him, and it is neither justieer good sense nor good teaching to hold the class back until he has recovered lost ground.
