Q. FRETT, McHENRY, -PROPRIETOR- ILL1NOI <« r , 1, v . . . !®k,+ A pair of twins, a boy And a girl, arrived at the home of Ernest Wendell on Thursday last. The circus has come and gone, and the children *re happy. It drew oat one of the largest crowds seen in" this village for some time. While a 8team thresher, being oper­ ated by. an agent of the mannfaotnring company, was moving down the street towards the pickle factory, on Friday last, a horse belonging to O W. Harri­ son, who lives south of this village, be came frightened, threw himself and died almost instantly-. Some thought he died of fright, while others think he broke a blood vessel in his straggles. Sometime since O W. Owen of this village advertised to give away a ladies' gold watch with the first ten sewing machines sold, the purchaser of each machine to choose a sealed envelope from ten, one of which contained an order for the watch, the envelopes to be opened after the ten machines were sold. The tenth machine was sold last week and the eovelopeft opened on Tues­ day, when it was fonnd that Mre. Wm Mudgett had drawn the lncky one and received the watch. Miss Mattie Smith, who has been vis­ iting with friends at Osborne, Kan., returned to her home in this village last week. The campers at Piatakee Bay have abont all broke up, the cool weather of the past two weeks having hastened their departure. Hunters and fishermen are now monarchs of the lakes. Our public school opened on Monday with the following corps of teachers: J. J. Vasey, principal; Miss Clara Wight- man, intermediate department; Miss Nettie Page, primary; and E. W. Wheeler teacher of the West McHenry division. The Sunday school at Ringwood will give an entertainment next Sabbath evening at 7:80 o'clock, on the subject of Missions. We have received a copy of the pre­ mium list of the tenth annual fair of the Marengo Agricultural society, which is to be held from Sept. 22 to 25 inclu­ sive. SEIT. 16, 1885. Darius Clark of Johnson, Vermont, has been the guest of Jacob J3tory the past week. We learn that Wm. Powers has bought of John H. Doran the farm known as the Watt Goff farm in the ti'wn * Nanda, containing 100 acres, ch he paid $50 per acre. tfead, of this town, took five first ... r second premiums on landscape paintings at the county fair last week. His pictures are true to natnre, the colors being perfect, and are far ahead of many older artists. He has few superiors of his age. The young stallion, "Geo. O.," owned by Geo. W. Owen of this village, done himself "proud" at the connty fair on Saturday last." He trotted in the conn­ ty stallion race on a heavy track and beat all competitors easy, making one heat in 2:46. This on a heavy track and without urging we consider good. He also took first premium for road stal­ lions. As we have said before, he is the most promising young stallion in these parts. The McHenry Brick Manufacturing company is turning out brick at their new yard that beats any manufactured in the West. The clay is of a superior quality, the brick perfectly white and when struck together have a clear and bell-like sound. They have recently made the following sales: 150,000 for the new brewery of Arnold, Zimmer & Co., Woodstock; 100,000 to a contractor in Elgin; 100,000 at Lake Geneva; sev­ eral two and three car lots. In short, they find it hard work to make as fast as they are sold. Next season they will greatly enlarge their yard, pntting in new machinery, etc. Wm. D. Gates, of the Spring Valley tile works, had a very fine display at the fair last week, consisting of terra cotta tiles, drain tiles, etc., and it was the universal verdict of good judges that the tile manufactured at these works are far superior to any to be found in the country. Mr. Gates also had his tile on exhibition at the state fair, Madison, Wis., last week and the Wisconsin State Journal has the follow­ ing to say in relation thereto: Near manufacturers' hall Wm. Gates of Chicago has an exceedingly interest­ ing display of terra cotta tiles, drains, chimney tops, etc., manufactured at his own establishment, located at a new station called Terra Cotta, on the North* western road between Crystal Lake and Geneva Lake. An inspection of his handsome display will prove interesting as showing to what nse terra cotta can he pnt. Don't Break Down. Severe strains on the vital organs, like strains on machinery, canse break, downs. Yon can't over-tax stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or nerves withont serions danger to yourself. If you are weak or run-down, or under strain of any kind, take Electric" Bitters, the matchless tonic medicine. Mrs. J. E.

Looming np majestically in its smoky surroundings, the passenger station of the Northwestern railroad at Madison and Canal streets, Chicago, is rapidly nearing completion, and is expected to be opened within three months. Barring strikes and accidents, the new station may be ready for occupancy by the end of November, and officials are oonnting on opening it formally to the pnblic not later than the early part of December. The exterior, stone and ornamental work, has been completed, and a large force of workmen and deco­ rators are at work on the interior, rush­ ing the inside finishing to completion. The terminal tracks into the new train shed are being laid and the inter- locking system, connecting the new tracks with the tracks that now branch off and ran into the Wells street station, soon will be started. The latter is one of the most tedious and intricate parts of the work yet to be done. Contractors are confident that there will be no labor strikes or hitchet* and that the work on the station can be rnshed thru to completion soon. Plans are being made to have the station open to thro traffic by the end of the first week in Docember, and to have it open to sobarbaa and all traffic by January 1 next. No defiuite plane for the opening have been made. The building of a new Northwestern station has been a pet project of Marvin Hughitt, president of the road, for many years. The new station building is one of the most unique and attractive in the conn- try. The main building is a four-story structure of the early Italian renaissance style of architecture, with a lofty Doric portico at the Madison street entrance, supported on a colonnade of six granite columns, each 61 feet in height and seven feet in diameter at the base. Im­ mediately back of this colonnade, en­ tered by three granite arches, is a vault­ ed vestibule of great size and beauty. At either end uf the vestibnle are broad granite stairways to the main waiting room on the track level floor. Similar vestibules of simpler architec­ tural treatment give entrance from Canal and Clinton streets. These vesti­ bules lead directly to a large public space around which are arranged the ticket office, baggage room, lunch room, news stand, telegraph offices, parcel check room, etc. From the center of this pnblic space the grand stairway leads to the concourse of the main wait­ ing room on the track floor.
