The last total eclipse of the, son 'was witnessed here chortly after the close of the civil war.' in the year 1869 The eclipse will be remembered by many citizens who yet speak of it as a qneer experience, noticeably in the folk lore of the south. The iat*t total ecttpne of the san dark­ ened the southern central statee of Ameriea and many are th« oocissions which cure recalled. The soath, daring the latter part of the sixties, was poverty stricken from the ravages of the war, and when the darkness enveloped the land at jioouday the people* of the ignorant classes, es­ pecially the newly freed slaves, were cowed by the effect of the phenomena and fell to the earth in prayer, thinking the eve of a terrible calamity was upon them. Chickens went to roost and cooks crowed. Rate and owls and other fowl which fly at night appeared and candles and lamps were lighted in thf dwellings. The eclipse predicted for June 17 Is to be total and will be a reproduction of the one of 1369.

During the heavy rain on Sunday night and Monday, the roof over Henry Colby's store, in Riverside block, sprang a leak, completely deluging his store and goods with water, causing a dam­ age of nearly, if not quite, a thousand dollars. On Monday morning last, after the buses going from the steamboats had crossed the red bridge, over the creek, in the center pare of this village, it gaye way, the west side partly dropping into the creek, making it impassable for teams. Owing to the heavy rains it was impossible to do any work upon it on Monday, but on Tuesday morning a fall force of workmen were pnt to work and by two o'clock in the afternoon teams were again crossing and reeroes- ing. It is now stronger and more sub­ stantial than ever before. Mrs. J. Van Slyke, wife of the editor of this paper, met« with a severe and painful accident on Sunday afternoon last. While descending the steps in the rear of our residence the heel of her shoe caught on the top step, precipitat­ ing her head-foremost to the bottom, some four feet.

Bingham of Lake county brought two North Crystal Lake men to McBenry last Friday for a con - sultation before Justice of the Peace H. C. Mead. Fishing with nets waa the charge upon which the fish warden had the two arreeted. The men, who gave their names as B. L. Blhnk and Albert Tessendorf, plead guilty to the charge upon which they were held and paid their fines, amounting to $25.00 apiece and costs. The fine imposed may be a good lesson fpr others who are using nets, as we are informed that there are several others in thia immediate vicinity who are and have been practicing these unlawful feats. The two North Crys­ tal Lake men, we are informed, were caught in the very act of seining fish in Fox river a short distance south of Mc­ Henry. The fish warden ooold land others in the same manner be did these by keeping a close watch on Fox river and the lakee surrounding McHenry. The fish warden will attempt to keep his eye on these waters from now on, so if yon are one of 'em, onr advice is to stop the disgraceful work at once.

" y tfkt^A, • -t/iB -W mm?. The annual commencement exercises of the McBenry high school at the Cen- tral opera house lat-t Thursday evening pasae<i off in a manner that reflected great credit to the class. The attendance, as usual, w&o*capac­ ity bouse, every available seat being oc­ cupied. white many had to stand. The *t»<r«j was very prettily decorate*! in £>i«k and white, the class wolors, while the class motto, "Attende Tanm Opn*," otvapiwl a prominent place on a banner stretched across the top of the stage. Flowers of many different varieties al­ so helped to adorn the stage, making the scene a very pretty one. The program for the evening was opened by Misses Hettie Randall and Pearl Claxton with a piano duet, which was well rendered. The commencement song by the class was next in order, its presentation also being received with favor. Rev. A. Roberts, of the Univer- salist churfch, offered the enstomary prayer, which was followed by a beanti- fnl chorus rendered by the high school. Miss Maude Granger, in a very pleasing aiftnner, next rendered the salutatory which was received with a hearty ap­ plause from the large audience. ' 'Treas­ ures Gathered From the Fields of Lit­ erature" was the subject upon which she spoke. "The Functions of Geom­ etry as a School Study" was rendered by Gilbert McOmber in a way that commanded the attention of all. Bettie Randall rendered her essay in a clear, distinct and careful manner, her subject being "Thru the Ages One Increasing Purpose Runs." "A Justification of the Study of Commercial Blanches in the High School" was Leouard Phillips' chief point for discussion, his rendition being faultless. At this point the mem­ bers of the high school again favored the audience with a song, entitled "'A Warrior Bold," the musical selection being well received. Miss Lncile Byrd handled her subject, "Oar English Language and the Art of Using It," with ease and expression. "Botany Ap plied; or Scientific Agriculture" was ably rendered by Joseph Suttou, Miss Alice Olson had for her subject "An Eco­ nomic Valaa in the Study of Latin." Her subject was well handled. - "The Value of a Comprehensive Knowledge of the Human Body" was creditably de­ picted by William Ensign. "The Com­ ing of the Freshmen," a song written by Joseph Sutton, was introduced next. It was good. Miss Flossie Randall spoke on the subject, "The Laws of physics the Foundation of Progress," and had the attentive ear of all thru* out. Chancey Harrison enlightened the audience on the subject, "Algebra a Universal Arithmetic." "Standing on Our Fathers' Shoulders," as rendered by Howard Wattles, waa one of the pleasing numbers on the program. Miss Pearl Claxton in a masterly manner presented her essay, entitled "Advance­ ment in Geographical Knowledge." The address from the juniors by' Miss Agnes Dodge was humorous as well as interesting. Her address was followed by the valedictory rendered by Miss Pearl Claxton. After presentation of the diplomas by Prof. W. F. Rice, the evening's exercises came to a class with a song by the high school. MISS GRANGER'S SALUTATORY. Ladies and gentlemen: We, the class of '09, bid yon a most hearty welcome tonight, sincerely hoping that our es­ says, which pertain to onr high school work and which we haye so diligently prepared, will be of interest to yon. The work of our school life may be compared with the coarse of a river, onr primary work being the source aud oar high school work beiug the opening of the river into the ocean. As we to­ night compjete our school work and re­ ceive our diplomas, we stand at the commencement of a new life. For the past twelve years we have investigated the coarse of this river with the help of oar dear teachers and we hope that our work has prepared ns, so that each one may follow the different but useful courses thru the great deep. When, in after years, each one will be pursuing his course, many aud many a time he will think about his <4lear- old school days, when we spent a great number of pleasant times together and we will always turn to those days as be­ iug the happieet days of all. 'TREASURES GATHERED FROM THF FIELDS OK LITERATURE." Since the invention of the art of writ­ ing, the story of the past is no longer kept alive by word of month only, the father telling the son and the son in turn telling the grandson. It has been set down in black and white by means of letters, so that we today can read the records of the feelings, the thoughts and the acts of the people of 3000 yesrs ago. And we in our turn are setting down onr sayings and onr doings so that those who come after as will be able to under­ stand what we felt, what we thought and what we did. When this record is so skillfully made as to give pleasure to the reader, it is called literature. lit­ erature, hen, is the reflection and the reproduction of the life of people. Every civilised country has a litera- ftauw, bnttha most important omm f» Hebrew, Greek, Latin and English. The great • influence which the religion of the Hebrews has had on Christian and Mohammedan nations has given a universal significance to their ancient literature. This literature surpasses that of any other pre-Christian people and it contains the source of the early history and spiritual development of the hnman race. A very small portion has come down to ns. The Bible is the best work we have of the Hebrew litera­ ture, and from it a large part of oar treasures are gathered and these are more highly valued and Esteemed than any other. That of Greece is the most remarkable in existence. Though sur- passed in extent and in variety by the literature of one or two modern nations, it Is the most perfect in form. This i& shown in the Iliad and Odyssey, which are the greatest epics written by Homer and which are the most famous poetm in existence. The Roman republic had well nigh run its course before it pos­ sessed a writer or literature worthy of the name. Some of its best writers were Caesar, Cicero aud Virgil. Until -the end of the eighteenth eentnry the stream of English literature had but a single cfhannel. Since we In the United States began to have writers of our own, the record of our feelings, of our thongete and of our deeds may be call­ ed American literature. Of the four mentioned, English is the most important in onr high school work" because it includes American lit­ erature, which w the most pleasing as it is the record of our lives. Our litera­ ture class has been the most interesting class of all. Ho# could it help being so with Miss Perry as oar teacher? Before studying the works of any writer, we first read his biography. From the biography alone treasures can be gath­ ered, as nearly all the writers lived such good and pure lives, and they would be good examples to follow. By reading the biographies one learns about the time in which the author lived and the condition of the country during that time, and knowing these facts before reading any works of a writer helps one to readily understand them. As for in­ stance, take the' 'Harvard Commemora­ tion Ode," written by Lowell. Having read his biography one can at once see that Lowell is writing aboat the college be attended and about hie college friends who gave ap their lives for their coun­ try in the Civil -War. So it is with the writings of Whittier, by reading his biography first one can readily under­ stand his feeling aboat slavery, which he expressed in several of his poems. If one thoroly understands what he is resding he must learn something from it. Of course it all depends upon the kind of books one reads whether be gathers treasures or trash. One may be greatly interested and thoroly under­ stand such stories as Diamond Dick, The Tip Top Weekly and love stories, but he can secure nothing valuable from such reading. It is from books that mean something to one after he has read chem, that treasures are gathered and in order to grasp the meaning they mast be read carefully and with thought. So our class gathered much from the Eng­ lish literature as some of our work cer­ tainly required a great amount of thought and careful study, notably the writings of Burke, Shakespeare, Maoan- lay and Milton. weep no EXCHANGE CLEANINGS. HAPPENINGS IN M'HENRY AfMACENT COUNTIE8. AND "Wrcp no more, woeful shepherds, iuor* For Lycldas, your sorrow, Is aot dead, Sunk tho he be beue&tii tbe watery floor. So sinks the day star la the ocean bed. And yet anon repairs his drooping head. And tricks liis beams, and with ut'w-spang­ led ore Flames in the forehead of the morning sky." This thought from Lycidas, Milton's tribute to his college friend and com­ panion, Edward King, is, indeed, bean tifal and certainly is a gem of friend­ ship. Another gem from Milton is: "Virtue may l»e assailed, hut never hurt.; Surprised by unjust force, but not enthralled; Yea, even that which Mischief meant most iiariu Shall in the buppy trial prove niost glory. Hut evil on itself .shall back recoil. Aud mix no more with goodness, when at last, Gathered like scum, and settled to Itself, It shall be in eternal restless change Helf led and self con-iumed If this fail, The pillared lirmament Is rottenness, Aud earth's base built oil stubble," Now take some of the works of-onr American writers, as for instance the works of Emerson, Bryant and Frank­ lin. One can at once learn after read­ ing "The Fortune of tbe Republic," "American Civilization" and "The Young American" that what Emerson wanted to teach ua was to be self-re­ liant and not to depend upon Europe for onr advancement and prosperity. Just as Emerson expressed this thought for as, so did Bryant, the first American poet who wrote about nature, express the thought in his poems that we should love the works of nature. He did not repeat what the British writers had been saying about nature, but he ex­ pressed in bis own words his love of nature and his poems, which have a lyric swing to them, are, I am sore, pleasing and interesting to all. It is. said "that an old young man makes a young old man." Certainly the saying was true of Bryant as a poet, for he was mature very early in life and he kept his freshness to the end. He wrote "Thanatopeis" when he was young and "The Flood of Years" when he was old. The thought is as deep in the fi«gt poem in the second, and the expression is as free and as noble. hese poems are two of the best of Bryant's work and they make a deep impression on one's mind. Take tbe injunction from Than- atopeis: • » (Con tinned on • - <if<K A MImm|1Immom AMortm**t of KEWS Items in Condensed Form For Ootm- iene* of Ruiy People.

Crystal Lake is preparing for a home­ coming festival and street carnival to be held the latter part of July and it iB ex­ pected it will be the biggest celebration the village has ever had. It is sow thought that the smallpox epidemic in Marengo is so well in hand that it is only a question of time before every veatige will be wiped out. There have been seventy-two cases and forty- eight honses were under quarantine. The automobile bill, which provides an annual license of $2 for each ma­ chine, instead of a permanent license of the same amount, was passed by the house last week by a vote of 93 yeas to 18 nays. It will increase the revenues of the state by $48,000 per annum. Thru the efforts of the industrial com­ mittee of the Elgin commercial club the Hasty Manufactnring company of Chi­ cago, capitalised at $100,000, manufac­ turers of safety valves, has been added to Elgin's list of industries and within tbe next two weeks will lie in operation on the first two floors of tlie D. E. Wood building on River street The twelve drivers employed by the Borden company in Elgin struck for a raise of $2.50 per.week on Friday of last week. The men are members of the International Brotherhood of Teain- ste^p, and in the Chicago office of the Borden company the raise was given without a protest, so the Elgin men feel they deserve the same and think they will eventually get it. The annual report of the Illinois department of the Grand Army of the Republic given at the recent three days' convention at Aurora by Assistant Ad jutant General Partridge shows that there are in Illinois in good standing 17,708 members; net loss during year, 816; expended in charity, $8,8(52.91; only two posts were abandoned; total value of post property (in> funds, collateral, real estate and furniture), $1(14,490.72. The tooth of some prehistoric mam­ moth animal in an excellent state of preservation was taken to Chicago re­ cently for temporary exhibition in the Field museum. None of the, scientists who haye viewed the tooth have been able to determine to what sort of an animal it once belonged. The relic of a forgotten age was found by Axel Stroberg on his farm near Syca­ more, 111. When examined carefully it was found to weigh more than ten pounds and measure almost a foot in diameter. While workmen were tearing down an old honse on the Hadsall farm north of Genoa recently they found encased in the wall a small pine box which had evidently been whittled out with a pocket knife. Inside the box was a note written with pen and ink, as clear and legible as the day it was written, .fifty, five years ago. The note was penned by John Hadsall *s father, who was born in 1816, and in referring to tbe house says: "This house was built in the year 1864 by Edwin Hadsall at an expense of abont five handred and fifty dollars." The plaster fell from the entire west half of the ceiling of the Presbyterian church at Woodstock one night re­ cently, demolishing a beautiful chande­ lier which was the pride of the charch and landing against the elegant new pipe organ. A concert had been given in the church in the evening, and it is fortunate that the plaster did not fall daring the program, for had it done so it would undoubtedly have resulted in the loss of life as the plaster had, been covered with burlap, so that it hung to­ gether and its weight would certainly have crushed out tbe lives of any who might have been under it when it fell. Elgin Courier; Miss Margaret Nor­ ton, who resides wsstof St. Charles, is engaged in the culture of lemons. She has one tree that is five feet high that bears yearly. It is treated as a house plant and kept in a large tub of earth. Last season it was apparently dead in the fall and she trimmed it and enriched the ground. This spring when she went to the cellar she was astonished to find that it was bearing fruit. There were five prodigious lemons on tbe tree and they were several times the size of the ordinary fruit. One specimen that has been picked was found to weigh a pound .and half.
