Buss, Agent. McHenry, 111 ICE on the Pond is now reported about ten inches thick and it is expected they tjrill commence catting next week.. "ICE BOATING on the Pond has been brisk the past week, an«i greatly enjoyed by many. Isaac Wentworth is said to hare the "boas" boat in this locality. A POLANDEB, of Chicago, claims that he has made a discovery by which he can manufacture coal, equal to anthracite or bituminous, at a cost of only $1.00 per tp n. . WB are now enjoying in this section the first sleighing of the season, and in fact the first for the past two years. The change makes our streets look lively and everybody feels better. THE female prophet who predicted that the world? was to come to an end at 5 p. M. on Christmas day made a miscalcula­ tion somewhere. The old world looks in a fair way to stand for a number of years yet. THE Epworth League will'give a 10 cent Social, at the residence of E. W. Wheeler, on Thursday evening, January 21st, 1892. Refreshments will be served and a fine Literary programme arranged. All are cordially invited. EVERYBODY, and with reason, is looking for a revival of trade now the holiday excitement is over, but it will come grad­ ually,--no rush is to be expected. The first merchants to feel the incoming tide will be those who advertise loudest. BY the Redfield, South Dakota, Journal we learn that Frank Schnorr has been elected one of the County Commissioners of Spink County, South Dakota. Franks many friends here congratulate him on this evidence of his popularity in his new home. SENSATIONAL rumors have been lately circulated that a strike had occurred in the great watch factory at Elgin, and that the institution had been closed in consequence. A dispatch in the Inter Ocean denied the whole thing and said there was no trouble nor prospect of any. OUR Exchanges tell of a swindler who is abroad among the farmers selling them twenty-five pound cans of coffee for a ridiculous small sum. When the farmer gets his can he finds instead of cofiee he has some nicely browned navy beans with a little coffee essence poured over them. WHEN an old veteran wied at the sol­ diers' home, in Togus, Me., and it wao ascertained that he had left several thousand dollars in cash among his ef­ fects, his chief crony exclaimed: Bejab- bers, if 4 was to die with all that money in roe clothes, I'd never forgive ineself as long as I'd live." HERE is the way a neighboring editor soliloquizes: '"Practice makes perfect. That's why a widow is able to manage A Tier second and third husbands better than her first, and forsooth, to catch them easier. A man bent on single life should never get into the same field with a frisky widow." SOME one has ggured out that twenty- five chestnut coals weigh ont pound. If there are 25 kernels of chestnut coals in a pound of coal, in one ton or 2,000 pounds, there would be 2.000 times that or 50,000 coals. Therefore, when next you purchase a tcrti of coal, count it and if there are lesB than 50,000 pieces in it your dealer has evidently robbed you. AN exchange has hit upon a novel plan to keep subscriptions paid up. Every time a delinquent subscriber is mentioned in that paper, his name is inverted. For example, "uqof sanof and wife are *pend- m.'. ing the summer north of Saratoga, Every other reader understands what it means and there is a grand rush among the negligent to get right side up again. AN exchange says that the individual who thinks tempus doesn't fugit never used a memorandum calender pad where you aj*e obliged to pull off a leaf each day as the days rapidly slide into the bosom of the past. This job impresses one that we are gliding toward the shroud and the grave with an accelerated and . almost startling motion. A GOOD reputation is a good invest­ ment; but the only way of securing a pe'- manent investment of good reputation is by putting a good character at interest. "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches;" but it is often easier to get riches than it is to get a character ^ that shall be the basis of a good name. A man may inherit his father's riches, but a father cannot bequeath his charac- f ter to his f «vorite son. IN the city of Buenos Ayres it-is said that there are sixteen men fqr every wom- ^ an, and that any decently good looking woman that goes there can have her pick out of fifty eager suitors, jn that coun- try one never hears of a policeman beat­ ing an old woman and kicking over her newspaper stand. On the contrary, women, old and young, are looked upon as something better than the average of humanity, and are worshiped accord- ilgly. ; PBBBONAI*. MRS. E.

He has Typhoid fever, and at this writ­ ing is reported as a very sirck boy. His many friends here hope for his speedy recovery. . AN editor of an Iowa paper, on being asked "Do hogs pay?" says that a good many do not; that they take the paper for several years and then have the post­ master send it back marked "refused, gone west," etc. THE-Waukegan Patriot says"Last week at Tacoma, Wash., occurred thf1 death of J. Charles Haines, only son of the late E. M. Haines and brother of Mrs. Andre Matteson, of this city. He was for many years J ustice of the Peace in Chicago and then went west and lid well in *he new country. He married a daugh­ ter of Mrs. Burton, of this city, who with a family survives him." WE acknowlebge the receipt of an invi­ tation to attend the 28th Annual Recep­ tion of the Harvard Fire Department, which will be held at the Roller Academy. Harvard, Wednesday evening, January 27. Music, Murray & Slocum's Orches­ tra, of ten pieces. That they will have a pleasant, enjoyable time all can rest as­ sured, as the committee having the ar­ rangements in charge never do anything by halves. THE officers of McHenry Lodge, No, 158, A. F. & A. M., were publicly installed on Monday evening last, by Deputy Grand Master Hewins, of Elgiu. About 50 of the Masonic brethren and tb»ir friends were present. After the installa­ tion ceremonies the company adjourned to the Riverside House where a bountiful banquet was spread, to which all did ample justice. It was a pleasant and en­ joyable occasion, and will long be remem­ bered with pleasure by those present. Death of, James Tyrrell. JAMES TYRRELL, and old and highly respected citizen, died at his residence, about three miles southwest of this vil­ lage, on Tuesday morning,aged 74years. He was taken with an attack of LaGrippe on Friday last which terminated in pneumonia and congestion, and resulted in his sudden ^eath yesterday morning as above stated. His funeral will be held from the Universalist Church, in this vil­ lage, ou Friday next, at 10% o'clock. An obituary will appear in these columns next week. -- WE find the following complimentary notice of the Tripod Clamp, lately pat­ ented by L. E. Bennett, of this village, in the St. Louis and Canadian Photogra­ pher. When men who are in the business and know a good thing when they see it, - speak thus of an invention, it proves conclusively that what we said of this patent when it was first issued, is more than true. Below is the notice spoken of: A tripod clamp has just beon patented by Mr. L- E. Bennett, McHenry, 111, who will manufacture and place them on sale. The samp'e received shows it to be very simple, and a desirable .device for instant* attaching and detaching the tripod to and from the box. Once tried no view photographer would care to be without it. THE custom of ladies being allowed to propose in leap year is supposed to have had its origin in statute published by the Scotch parliament in the year 1288. This queer ordinance reads as follows: "It is ordaint that during the reign of her maist blessit Majestie Margeret, ilke maiden, ladee of baith high and low es­ tate shall hae libertie to speak to the man she likes. Gil he refuses to take her to be his wyf, he shale be mulct in the sum of ane hundredity pundis or less, as his estait may bee, except and alwais gif he can make it appear that he is be- trothit to another woman, then he shall bee free." In 130G, Margaret having passed away, and the ladies being still clamorous for their privilege, another parliament, it is said, allowed them the privilege every fourth year. WK inadvertently omitted to notice last week, the Holiday number of the Mc Fieri ry County .Democrat, which was indeed an honor to the city of Wood­ stock, as well as to the publisher of the Democrat. It gave an excellent write-up of the city and gave four extra pages, which were on colored paper, and hand­ somely illustrated with pictures of the county, city and other prominent build­ ings. It was indeed a creditable issue, and shows the well-known enterpriseof the publisher of the Democrat. The citizens of Woodstock should remember him in a substantial manner. /^HE friends and acquaintances of Mr. ,Henry Roger's family, late of Yolo, were greatly shocked and pained New Tears morning to learn that "Willie," the only son, had died the night before, only five hours before the dawn of the New Year. Indeed, but few knew he was sick, as his illness was only of twd days duration. He never was strong and robust, as are most boys, and bis health deteriorated rather than improved since the family re­ moved to Waukegan, though he took the fall term of school and had kept his place in the winter term till the holiday recess. He was a boy of rare sweetness and purity* so that all who knew him felt that those white roses on his casket, some so thoughtfully sent by his teacher, and some by other friends, were fitting emblems of bis young life and noble char­ acter. He left a stricken family--father and mother, five sifters and four broth- ers-in-law, as his immediate relatives to mourn his early and, to our human vision, untimely death. The funeral services were held Satur­ day afternoon from the house, 303 West street, conducted by Rev, R. H. Pate, the family pastor. The above facts we learn from the Waukegan Post. Begging Letters from London. "Ever since I was abroad," said a well known New Yorker, "I have been pes­ tered with all sorts of begging letters. They are mostly from the managers of English charitable institutions of vari­ ous descriptions, though some are from private individuals. The former inclose a variety of printed patter illustrating the purposes and work of the institution. The latter are abject appeals of appar­ ently professional begging letter write*, with which London abounds. I was talking with a friend about it and he said he had the same experience for about two years after he had built a fine house here, a description of which and his wealth got into the local papers. He was deluged with begging letters from almost every capital in Europe and es­ pecially from Loudon. "Those people are the worst and, most persistent beggars in the World. Fancy an American mailing bagging letters to Londoners I I suppose there must be money in it or they wouldn't do it."-- New York Herald. "Bravo." The intelligent foreigner is highly fimused at the indiscriminate way in which English audiences use this word, regardless of the number and sex of the performers whom they wish to applaud. A tenor is, of course, bravo; but a prima donna is brava. More than one male artist can only be bravi, and if there are more ladies than one on the stage, and no man is to be included in the applause, they should be hailed as brave--at least according to Italian grammar.--Notes and Queries.

We want every mother to know that croup can be prevented. True croup never appears,without a warning. The first symptom is hoarseness; then the child appears to have^aken a cold or a cold may have accompanied the hoarse­ ness from the start. After that a pecu­ liar cough is developed, which is followed by the croup. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will prevent the attack. Even after a rough cough has appeared the disease may be prevented by using this remedy as directed. It has never been known to •fail. 25 cent, 50 cent and f 1.00 bottles for sale by G. W. Besley.

This remedy also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it during the epidemics of the past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneu­ monia. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale, by G.
