' at their THE Board of supervisors, late session, did an act of an especially commendable character when it adopt­ ed and passed a resolution offering ten cents a h^ad for all the crows killed in the county.

The process in the main will be gone through with as in the sparrow law for the payment of crows' heads, the town clerk being the gentleman to whom crows' beads must be shown and be in turn will issue warrant on the county clerk.

It appears she was out horseback riding and was thrown from her horse, her foot being caught in the stirrup and she was dragged full half a mile before she was released. When found she was dead, and mangled in a horrible manner. She was a young lady about 16 years of age, loved and respected by all who knew her. Her friends have the sympathy of many in this vicinity who knew and loved her tor her bright and pleasing ways. MRS. J. H.

Ottr citizens and the snrroun&ag country are to be treated to one of the finest and most interesting entertain­ ments that has visited this plaet-vin many a day. The W. C. Coup Eqa^Sfi^- riculum, and Buckley's Educated Horses, will pitch their tent in this village on Friday, August 3d, and give two of their refined and elevating entertain­ ments, which are patronized by the best people wherever they have been. This troupe of wotaderful trained horses and educated dogs are unsurpassed by any on earth. This is an entertainment that all, both old and yonng, can attend and really enjoy. Don't forget the date, Fri­ day, August 3d. HERE is something that is worth $5 to every farmer in the land to know. Sprinkle a little stone lime in yonr stock tank and not a particle of green scum will form in the water. When ths lime loses its strength and scum begins to form, which may be twice during the season, wash out the tank and repeat the dose. It is cheap, not only harmless bnt wholesome, keeps the water and saves work. AN exchange tells a good one on | farmer. He went to town and purchased a new suit of clothee, placed them on the seat beeide him and started for home. When he reached the bridge over the creek the idea struck bim that it would be a great surprise to discard his old patched clothes and go home in a new suit. He pulled off his duds and fired them into tbe creek a piece at a time. When he bad nothing on but a shirt he reached for the package bait it was no longer in the wagon. The night was chilly and be went home at a 2:40 gait. He surprised the family completely, and next morning when he went out and found the package hanging on the brake of his wagon be was surprised himself. WOODSTOCK.

The yaaag people in the vicinity of the brewery enjoyed a dancing party in one of the new houses just west of that insti­ tution last Thursday evening. This has been the hottest week of the season.

John Bart died at $ie home of Mrs. Hurd, in this city, oh Thursday last, of consumption after a long illness. A water famine is threatened if rain does not come soon.

THE following circular letter was re­ ceived by Judge Donnelly, of Woodstock, last week and we publish tbe same for the purpose of informing our readers of the fact that an institution for the edu­ cation of the blind exists and is main­ tained by the state: JACKSONVILLE, III., July 12,1894. To the Hon. Judge of County Court: Dear Sir: There are, no doubt, many bliud children in the state of Illinois of school age (six to twenty-one) who should be in this institution but are not. In some cases the parents and guardians are ignorant of the existence and loca­ tion of the institution. This wet'ound to our surprise during our active exhibit at the World's Fair last year. Many Buch could be placed in the institution through correspondence. May I respectfully re­ quest you and your county clerk to con­ fer upon this matter and send me the address of any parent or guardian in your county having a blind child of school age? Last year's enrollment was the largest in the history of the institu­ tion, numbering 262. W. F. SHORT, Superintendent. Ingreraol on Song* Bob Ingersol has the following to say of song: "If I made the most eloquent and flowery speech tjjat. lips ever uttered and you Came along with a "sfx-bit fiddle and played Home Sweet Home across tbe street from where I was pouring forth my eloquence, you'd steal the crowd, leaving me talking to tbe empty air in five minutes. A speech, no matter bow flowery and eloquent, enters tho ear, and like a homeless tramp, walks sluggishly down the by-ways of memory, knocks at the door of the heart, is refused admit­ tance and dies on the road to the grave­ yard of forgetfulness. But a song like Mollie Darling' comee skipping along with her apron full of flowers, jumps into the pathway of memory, throws roses right and left, and kisses to the birds until she grows weary with her frolic with nature, then passes in front of the man­ sion of memory and knocks at tbe door of the heart, goes in and lives there. 'Home Sweet Home' will live long after the most powerfully gifted and eloquent speech ever uttered by the lips of man, will be buried in the minds of men forgotten." Al. Kemmerlinf and wife, of Effcin, spent- the first of the week here. Mies Frankie Willis attended a conven­ tion of the B. Y. P. U., at Toronto, Can./ last week.
