THE Ice House, at the Riverside House was filled on Saturday last with the best ice of the season. It was about ten inches thick and as clear as a crystal. E*HE weather the past week has been more like April than January.

AN*exchange says there is a town in Ohio where a "kid bell" is rang every night at 8 o'clock and boys and girls un­ der fifteen years, have to get off the streets. A good law, and one that ought to be enforced in every town in the land. THE preparations for the Masquerade, at the Riverside, on Feb. 5th are pro­ gressing favorably and promises to be the affair of the season. Slocum's Orches­ tra will furnish the music, and a good time is assured for all who attend. E|> tv- JOHN HDEMANN, of Johnsburgh, had a break down while passing through onr village one day last week. We expect to age him coming out with a new buggy soon, and thus prevent' a repetition of the accident in the future. / IN a copy of the Mellette, South Da­ kota Tribune, which we have just re- / ceived, we find the following item: " F.

A CERTAIN traveling man stepped into a local store to-day to show his goods, and when the proprietor noticed him start to open his grip he threw up both hands and stated that he didn't want to see them.

AMY C.OWEN, Secretary. A SuNDAy School teacher recently elec­ trified a class of pretty little girls by-tell­ ing them that he had three children at home, half of them girls! Rapidly scram­ bling through their arithmetic they fair­ ly rustled with surprise at *the startling statement--and then heard with an aud­ ible sigh of relief his explanation that the other half were girls too. A COUNTRYMAN took his seat at a hotel table opposite a gentleman who was in­ dulging in a bottle of wine. Supposing the wine to be common property, our un­ sophisticated country friend helped him­ self to it with the gentleman's glass. "That's cool 1" exclaimed the owner of the bottle of wine, indignantly. "Yes, replied the other, "I should think there was ice in it." ANOTHER counterfeit is extant in the shape of a twenty-five cent piece which has almost the same ring as the original quarter has and which is so cleverly mint* edits to baffle all except the most careful scrutinizere.

The beet rule is to say all tbe good we can of every­ body, and refrain from say ing evil, unless it becomes a Clear matter of duty to warn some one against them. Slander is a sin much worse than theft. We should no more bite one with our words than with our teeth. Angry word is often as bad as a blow, and a satirical word is like a sting. RICHARD MALSILL, the famous almanac maker, predicts for January, 1894 s A violent snowstorm and blizzard over, northern Illinois and parts of the north­ west from the 23d to 25th. Another blizzard and remarbable cold wave over the northwestern states on the 30th and 3lst. February is to have a snowstorm and blizzard for Iow% £nd Illinois on the 5th and 6th, and a great snowstorm in Dakota on the 13th and all over Illinois on the 17th. % *+,*4 j* DID you ever notice that when a man drops a piece of meat on the floor, no difference how clean the floor may be, he gives it a kick or picks it up and lays it aside? He will never eat it. But let him drop a plug of tobacco in the street no difference how dusty the street may be, he picks it up, gives it a careless wipe on his coat sleeye or on the bosom of his pants, and bites a big chunk ont of it and wallops it around in his mouth with a fanner relish thaaevert House, but to get the beet site obtainable for the same. There were rw*lly only two tickets in the field, viz: One for BekvUitg ilio ( hvwi Lot, on ihn the hill west of the City Hall, and one for using the present site occupied by the Brick School House. There wore 178 votes polled, as follows: For the Owen Lot on the hill, 142. For tbe Brick School House site, 28. Against rescind­ ing the vote on selecting the Herbes property, 8. Thus it will be seen it was almost a unanimous vote for the Owen Lot. And we believe this to right for several reasons. First, the ground is the best and most naturally adapted for a School House of any in the village. Second, it isjin nearly a central location between the two parts of the town and thereby will accommodate- the District better than at any other point. And it is just and right that it should be so locat­ ed so as to accommodate one part of the District as well as another. Now that the Board of Education have the voice of the people let them lose no time in getting to work on the new building. There is much that can be done between now and Spriug that will help to 'expe­ dite matterp. Let the good work corn- will deliver his celebrated Lecture On Ha­ waii, at the City Hall, on Thursday, to­ morrow evening, under the auspices of the Willing Workers Society. The sub­ ject of this Lecture should arouse interest at any time but more particularly now when the subject is so prominently before the public. From a residence upon the Island for five years Mr. Merrill speaks from personal knowledge, and his Lec­ ture cannot fail to be of the most inter­ esting character. This lecture is illus­ trated with fifty Stereopticon views of the principal*plac^s of interest, members of the Royal Family, the volcano of Kilauea, and others of the most Interest­ ing character. These views will be highly interesting to the children, who will not only be entertained but instructed there­ by. We trust our citizens will turn out and fill the house to-morrow evening. o one, young or old, can afford to miss !t. Single tickets, 30 cents* Season ickets, good for the four lectures, f 1.00. Children under 12 years of age 15 cents. AN eastern paper says: v "A young man at Carmel, Me., took his girl for a sleigh ride. She tell out and he drove a mile before noticing it." Well they don't sleighride that way ont west. The young men all drive with one, hand, and some­ times the girl drives and leaves both arms loose to prevent accidents. ONE merchant alone cannot advertise a town in such a way that it will attract trade from a distance. It requires a con­ cert of action on the part of the proprie­ tors of dry goods firms, clothing estab­ lishments, furniture stores, groceries, coal and lumber offices, hardware stores, grist mills, bakeries, banks, restaurants, shoe shops, harness shopsi implement establishments, liveries,etc. When they all speak. together they bring trade. That is one reason why a newspaper ad­ vertisement is preferable to an individual bill and why a newspaper that represent# the town is better than one that re] sents Only a few firms. THE prospects are good for the buil ing of a branch railroad through tl northwest part of Cook and the sout west part of Lake counties in tbe neai future. The' projected line is to connec with the Chicago & Northwestern eithef at Barrington or Palatine, and theno will proceed via Lake Zurich, Waucondaj Volo, Fox Lake and Richmond to Laki Geneva. Enthusiastic meetings hav been held at Wauconda, Lake Zurich andj Volo. At Wauconda $10,000 was quick^ ly raised. The road if built as projected^ will be the nearest to the heart of the Fox Lake fishing, hunting and summer ort region. Stearns was bora i| North Law- ntoee, New York, Dyemhjr 16, 1855.

Jan­ uary 27,1894, commencing at 11 A. M. A full attendance of members is desired and all interested in the breeding and developing of the trotter are earnestly invited to join the association and thus help strengthen the organization to sift out some of the evils that have been gradually creeping into the trotting horse business. By order of , : E. S. JOHONNOTT, Pres. -TV * . G. W. ELDREDGE, Treat* v T*"' ."-J R. W. OVERTON, Sec. THE Prairie Farmer published the fol­ lowing as a sure and speedy .cure for felon: "Take sassafras bark and beat or grind it well, stir into a poultice with cold water and apply to the felon. Keep wet by pouring on cold water. That is, do not let it dry out, and in a short time the felon will be killed." The author says that a woman who had been^suffer- ing extreme pain night and day, and could not sleep was told this remedy. She tried it immediately, and in fifteen minutes after the application was per­ fectly easy and sound asleep. When she awoke the felon was entirely killed and never bothered afterwards. This is cheap and simple, and it is certainly one of the sions where life contains no pate, nor sorrow nor care. Flora's daily life was snctras to im­ press all whom she met that "tribulation worketh patience," and that patience may "have her perfect wefrk" in the heart and manifested in the life. So did she apply Christianity that even in her last days of intense suffering, she showed how sublime] endurance Hhny be, when the day star of christian hope is founded on the Rock of ages. She helped to make the home more dear to every member, always having a cheerful, happy way of seeing the bright side to every dark cloud. Her father who so lately has gone before, always found in her sympathy and strength; her sister appreciated her companionship as pure and sweet to re­ member; her brother estimated her as the best friend and sister that one could have; her mother's life was so interwoven with her own, that separation seemed impossible; Mid all who knew her found her friendship so sincere that her memory will be a silent influence •prompting to purity and righteousness^ A large congregation assembled as a last token of respect, Saturday, January 6, when Rev.
