FISH in the Illinois river are dying by the millions. The reason given by an old fisherman is that bass, pike and Other game fish frequently come to the surface at air boles in the ice, which they have been unable to do this winter on account ot the thickness of the ice. A REGULAR old fashioned thaw set in on Monday morning, and before night water was running down our streets like a tnill race. In the evening it rained quite hard, but at this writing, Tuesday morning, it is froten tighter than triixem. Truly February is going out ;e a lion. 5KK SCHAEFEB is drawing the lumber for a new barn and the repairing of the house on the Will Colby farm, and also for a new house on the farm where the •ane was burned last summer, 2 miles Northwest of the village. There is large amount of building in contempla­ tion in this vicinity the coming spring. THERE is a fellow up at Green Bay. who. every time he gets on a spree, in­ sists on paying a year's subscription to "jiia town paper. He has already paid his paper to Jan. 1st, 1927.

It proved to be a mistake and the woman appeared to have it corrected. The next day the paper said: "We fully believe that Mies Barnes is not married nor do we believe die ever will be. A YOUNG lady has figured it ©utthat the next leap year will be in 1896 and then it will be eight years before another leap year. The y^ar 1900 will not be a leap year. The year is 3G5 days and six hours, less eleven minutes. The eleven minutes amount to one day in400 years, when leap year is dispensed with. The year 1900 will therefore not be a leap year. v THE postal note must go. It will be succeeded by a postal script, a sheet cal­ ling for an amount from one cent to three dollars, from which on the payment o? one cent the amount to be sent will be torn off, about the same as an express order. There will be no writing of any kind on it by the postmaster. It is en­ dorsed by the sender. The government guarantees its safe transportation.--Ex. JBHS EMMA NORTON, District President the W. C. T. U., will deliver the regular /monthly Temperance Lecture, at the City Hall, in this village, on Sunday evening next, March 5th, commencing at _Z-o'clock. Miss Norton is an interesting speaker, and no one should fail to hear her. The male quartette of the Univer­ salist Church will render some choice selections for the occasion. All are cor­ dially invited. THE Chicago Tribune shows that it costs $568,000 a year to support the educational fads in the public school sys­ tem of that city, and adding the propor­ tion of cost of the buildings. manag*>- ment, janitors and supplies, and a half million more is spent for the faddists The fads are generally positively useless studies and have no proper relation to the pub ic school system. There is room for reform in this fad business pretty generally through the country. AN exchange prints an article which may be found of interest to housekeep­ ers in keeping away a pest so well known in the summer time. It says that little red ants cannot travel over wool or rag carpet. Cover the shelf in the closet or j pantry with flannel, set whatever you wish to keep from the ants upon it, and the.v will at pnee disapear. They may be caught also in sponges into which sugar has been sprinkled; then the sponge* should be dropped into hot water. IT'S a funny world. When you are skipping gaily down the path is when you catch your toe and stumble. On the other hand sunshine comes only when the clouds break. The man who gets the pebble out of his shoe is the happy man. The fellow who never had a pebble in his shoe is merely an indif­ ferent one. You must go hungry occasionally to know the real pleasure of a good dinner. Misfortune clear.-) away the surplus of good things and sharpens the sense for their enjoyment when they come again.

There are men who never have a good word to say of anybody. No matter how noble and of good repute a man may be, these backbiters will continue to say something to his disparagement. They do not often speak directly against a good man, but by implication and in- ueudo seek to besmirch a fair and hon­ orable reputation. Such men are a bane Mid blight to society. Of ill repute them­ selves they would drag others down to the same low level. The sight of an hon­ est, trustworthy, high minded citizen is sufficient to give them a bad attack of the spleen, which they seek to remedy by inventing stories derogatory to good character. Their own inherent badness cause-* tht-m to think others must be bad or indifferent also. The chronic back­ biter would seem incurable. He Will listen to no arguments in a good man's favor. That all men are more qr less vicious is his premise,^nd the most con­ vincing proof would not drive it from his mind. Truly a most deplorable state of mind and heart to be in. Were there no honest men in the world things would come to a standstill and the farth would almost cease to revolve. It is they who make life and civilization what it is and keep us from primal chaos. But the born backbiter will entertain no such view as this, and goes ou his daily round of be­ littling everything and everybody. He seems to take great delight in it, and to roll it ou' as a sweet morsel under his tongue. We think if he could see how small, Detty and insignificant such a course of lile is, and how it dwarfs and belittles his humanity (if there be a grain left in him) he would instantly reform, and speak nothing but good ot mankind forever after.--Fx, ; \ • * Nunda Department. AN exchange gives a list of nine classes of people who do a town no good. First, those who go out of town to do their trading. Second, those opposing improvements. ' Third, those who pre­ fer a quiet town to one of push and business. Fourth, those who imagine they own the town. Fifth, those who think business can be done slyly with-, out advertiselng. Sixth, those who de­ ride public-spirited men. Seventh, those who oppose eyery movement that, does not originate with themselves. Eighth, those who oppose every public enterprise that does not benefit them. Ninth, those who seek to injure the credit of an individual. ISO NO 1 m ISO 00 Beal Estate Transfers.

RHE FOX LAKE STEAMBOAT LIL̂ E On'e of the new steamboats, the "Elma" which is to ply between McHenry and tW$ Lakes the coming season, has arrived, and is now being painted and put in shape for early navigation. The "Elrna is a stern wheeler, 60 feet long, light draft, with plenty of cabin room, will carry one hundred passengers with ease and is expected to make the trip to Fox Lake inside of an hour. The other one the "Willard," is «ot yet qwtac^mpleted but will be ready as soon as navigation opens to take her p'ace by the side of the • Elma,', and the two will give as the finest steamboat accommodations we have ever had 011 our river. The "Wil lard" will be 47 feet long and capable of carrying 75 passengers. Messrs Wilde & Rt«ese, who have this line in charge, art gentlemen who thoroughly understand the business, and being acquainted with the former short comings of boats on this line and also the real wants of pleasure seekers who pass this way to the Lakes, will spare no pains to meet such * ants and satisfy all. Their boats will be kept clean, neat and tidy, will connect with all trains both coming from and going to Chicago, and their aim will be to make the trip between McHenry and the Lakes a pleasant hours ride so that those who go once will besure to come this way again. Thecitisens of McHenry are glad to know that the steamboat lin* has fallen into reliable bauds, and that the travel­ ing public can be assured of good accom­ modations when visiting our pleasanty summer resort. Messrs. Wilde & Reese, we predict, will prove the right, men in the right place, and will receive the hearty co-operation of our citizens. We shall hare more to say about these boats when the season opens. Inaururai Reception and Ball. The Democrats of Woodstock have an­ nounced their second, Inaugural Recep­ tion and Ball, to take place at Murphy's Hall, Woodstock, 111, on the evening of Friday, March 3,1893. It is the inten tion of the committee of arrangements to make this an "olden time" affair, as well as the erentof the season for McHen­ ry county; nothing will be spared to meet that end. It will not be a Wood­ stock affair but a McHenry county jubi­ lee, and to that end invite all McHenry county's people to join with them. *The reception program will consist of a rare treat, and will be preceded by an able, short address by C. S. Darrow, ,of Chi­ cago. Slocum's celebrated orchestra of ten pieces, will furnish the music. Tickets of admission to dance, $1.50. Supper will be served at Hotel Woodstock by mine host Comstock.

The most of our town folks attended the W. P. Thompson Auction Sale on Monday of this week. W. H. Ogbin is moving from his farm into town. He will occupy rooms over his Warehouse until he can build a new residence. We understand that Geo. Dodd and R. W. McKee are Grandpa's. George Helm is home from Milwaukee Mr. and Mrs Hilt Smith spent Sunday last at Father Eckstrom. There was quite a difference* in the weather on Tuesday of this wepk, from what it was on Monday. We are informed that H. M. Bryant has exchanged his property for a place in Elgin and will move there soon. W. P. Morris has rented his farm and bought a small place in the suburbs of Nunda. A good many changes in farm tenants are being mad« just now. The articles appearing in the PLAIN- nEALER the past few weeks giving brief mentiou ot the business houses of Nunda, we omitted to mention the agricultural implement house of Fred Colby, located at the corner of Williams and Railroad streets. Mr. Colby sells everything in the implement line aud is doing a good busiuess. We also omitted to mention the milli­ nery hou?e of Rowlands & St. Clair, do­ ing business in the building formerly occupied by O. C. Colby, on Main street, opposite the depot Mr. Wood, of Princeton, III., official instructor for the state, visited Nunda Lodge I. O. O. F. last wefk Thursday and Friday.

E nterprise and im provement have com­ menced in Nunda for the spring of 1893, our worthy and enterprising citizen, D. B. Warner, being the first to commence the work, he h iviug bought the building formerly used as a photograph gallery, and moved it onto a vacant lot west of Henry & Lanning's blacksmith shop. It was intended at first to fit the building up for a law office, but the firm that were tQ,occupy it concluded it was not large enough for their business. We under­ stand that it will be again fitted up for a photograph gallery, being better adapt­ ed for that than a law office. This will beex^ellent opportunity for agood artist to open business. Quite a serious accident happened John Railman, section foreman on the Wiscon­ sin division, at this place, last Thursdsy evening. In a little wrestling match with Geo. Freiye, one of the hardware merchants, it seems Banman was thrown and Freye fell on him. The re- cult, Bauman's leg was broken below the knee. Wm. Butler and J. A. Sheldon, oi Huntley, were calling on Nunda friends last Saturday. H. O Mason has rented his farm to Mr. Button. Business Notices.
