Isaac Went­ worth, aged 59; William Deacon, aged 23; Mary, aged 20. A rather peculiar circumstan e in one family. They had a family gathering, and a pleasant visit oo,this occasion. ON Saturday night two ice trains be- tween here and Nunda undertook to pass ' on the same track, going in opposite di­ rections, and the result was several de­ moralized cars and a badly battered -engine. Fortunately no one was hurt. The accident was caused by a heavily loaded train being left upon the track near Crystal Lake, and after the engine •was detached, the brakes not being set, it commenced going down the grade and met the other train coming up, with the result above stated. A WESTERN paper gives the carping kicker a little plain talk after this fashion: "If you are a kicker and see the shadows of a failure in everything that is proposed to help the town, for heaven's sake go into £ome secluded canyon and kick your own shadow on the clay bank and thus give the m^n who are working to huild tip the town a chance. One long-faced, hollow-eved, whining kicker can do more •/to keep away business and capital from a town than &U drouths, short crops, •chinch bugs, •qyalones and blissarda com­ bined."

PERCY. SOME gray headed editor has carefully Purveyed the different situations and properly penned the following poetical prose. It will interest you if you read it. "The preacher works for souls of men and generally gets bis pay; the merchant reaps his reward for his toils in profits from day to day; the banker sits in his office chair with his bundle of cash to rent, and gathers a harvest month by month with a vigorous 8 j>er cent; the dealer in grog stands behind the bar and fills up the schooners high, and jingles the tin that the boys "blow in" for good beer and rye; the lawyer and doctors find work to do, that brings in the hard cold cash; and the men who wield the plane and spade find money to purchase their hash; but the editor has a thank less task as the busy months roll by, and he knows no rest of body or brain while he misses the chance to lie. His reward in this world never comes,* but over the silent sea, if justice reigns he is bound to have an elegant jubilee. Wait for it." THE Elburn correspondent of the Elgin Courier eays: "A young Elburn man was a member of the Northwestern Mu­ tual Endowment society of Minneapolis By the terms of contract he was- to re­ ceive $500 upon bis marriage. He paid into the concern over $200^ and then he married. When he presented his claim for $500 he received only $100. Eleven other members of the concern married, and all claimed that their endowments had shrunk in a similar manner. Anoth er young man of the village invested in a building and loan association. He paid his dues regularly for two years. He paid $70 in dues and then desired to take paid np stock on his investment. After filling all the requirements of the com panv, it is said he received paid up stock to the amount of one dollar. Thereare various ways of disposing of superfluous cash, but theseeases are by the most ap­ proved methods." We now ha ve the best line of overalls, shirts, Jackets, etc., that we have ever shown. J.

VAN SLYKE, Clerk. CHAS. F. JOHNSON and wife, being about to leave MeHenry, were invited to spend last Thursday evening with Rev. and Mrs. Clark, at the M. E. parsonage. Nothing was said, however, about other company being expected, and they were t,h3refpre greatly surprised when their friends of the Epworth League, and others, same trooping in, until be­ tween thirty and forty people had assem­ bled. A short programme was rendered after which Miss Fannie Osborne stepped forward, and after delivering a brief ad­ dress to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, in behalf of the Epworth league presented Mr. fohnson a handsomely bound Oxford Teacners' Bible, in appreciation of tht fidelity aud Christian fortitude with which he has performed his duties as president of the McHenry Chapter of the League since its organization. Refresh­ ments were served from a bountiful sup­ ply provided by the ladies, and all seemed to enjoy themselve to the utmost. The party broke up about eleven o'clock, a feeling of satisfaction at the success at tained pervading the entire gathering. Mr. Johnson has been in the employ of John Evanson & Co. the past seven months and we regret to see him go from among us. He carries with him the good wishes of a host of frinnds in and around McHenry, and all will be pleastd to hear of his success in whatever field he may locate. Saying Unpleasant Things. There is a certain class of people *ho ta£e great satisfaction in saying un­ pleasant things. They call this peculiar­ ity "speaking their minds" or "plain, speaking." Sometimes they dignify it by the name of "telling the truth." As if truths must be unpleasant in order to be true! Are jthere no lovely, charming, gracious truths in the world? And if there are, why cannot people diligently tell these, making others happier for the telling, rather than hasten to proclaim all the disagreeable ones they can dis­ cover? The sum of„ human misery is always so much greater than the sum of human happiness that it would appear the plainest duty to add to the latter all we can, a,nd do what lies in our power to diminish the former. Trifles make up this amount and in the trifles lie the best and most frequent opportunities. It may seem a little Ihing to tell another what is out of place in his or her appear­ ance or possessions; but if the informar tion is unnecesary and makes ,one un­ happy, it is clearly an unkmd and unfriendly action, withoutexcuse.--Harp Bazar.

No literary announcement of the year is of greater interest to the general pub­ lic than that of a comprehensive Life of General Sherman,^which is about to be published and sold through agents by the noted house of Hubbard Bros., of Philadelphia. Admirable biographies of Grant and Sheridan, complete to the time of t heir death, are >Uready familiar to the public, but a life of the third great commander, to finish the series, has been lacking. The various biographies of Sherman hitherto published, have neces­ sarily been incomplete; and even his own memoirs, written in 1875, said almost nothing oi his intensely interesting early life, and not a word, of course, of the more than twenty years of social activ­ ity and fraternity with old comrades since, the war. The work which is now to be issued will splendidly supply the widely felt demand for a history of the great strategic com­ mander. It is being written by General O. O. Howard, a man of fine literary at­ tainments, who knew Sherman better than any other of his comrades now liv­ ing, and ranked next but one to him in the army, and by Willis Fletcher John­ son, whose ability as a historian is famil­ iar to the reading public of America through his former unusually popular works, which have had millions of read­ ers, and the sales of their vast editions enriched hu army of book agents. That this history of Sherman, the last of the great generals, will surpass all others in popularity is not to be doubted. <' The story of this great General's career is of a marvelous march from the moun­ tains of time to the sea of eternity. Of the three great war heroes, Sherman was by far the most interesting personality. He was the best known to the public and the tjost loved for his genial disposition and warm sympathy with the popular heart. He has joined bis illustrious com­ peers in the eternal bivouac of the dead. His is a life to study--to emulate--and is a profound inspiration. The forthcom- coming volume will tell the whole story of his marvelous career, and frompthe authorship engaged upon it, we are as­ sured it will be told in a way that will enthral the attention and interest of every reader from first to last. It is a book every American will want and one every American youth should read. It will doubtless be the best life of the great chieftain published, and we predict for it wonderful ]>opnlarity.
