We have not learned the name of the bride nor other particulars. The latter part of last week they were having a high old time on the mill pond with ioe boats. The speed with which they went the length of the pond was simply immense. There are three boats now owned here and another one is being built. Married--At Elgin, on Wednesday, Dec. 23, 1885, by the Rev. Wm. Balch, Geo. O. Smith and Miss Ada A. Granger, both of McHenry. The many friends of the happy couple in this section would extend hearty congratu- latiOnS, aSu wish them a long, happy and prosperous life. Geo. W. Besley and family went to W•mlfPEran Clhristmas to be npesent at a gathering of the Besley family at the old homestead. There were thirty- eight present, all Besleys. Who says the Besley's are not numerous"? That they had a pleasant time no one who know them will attempt to dispute. Immediately at the close of the morning service last Sunday at the Univerealist church the congregation w as called to order, a report made by the canvassing financial committee, and a unanimous call was extended to Rev. B. Brunning to become the settled pastor of the parish which call was duly accepted, and as he has not to leave to make any preparations for moving, we have therefore another citizen and minister settled among us. He will board with Mrs. Sarah Mc- Omber, and Mrs. Brunning is expected to arrive in McHenry on Wednesday, Jan. 5, 1886. We trust much good will grow out of these new relations. Meetings will be held hereafter every Sabbath, and active duties have already been commenced by both pastor and people. The gossipers of McHenry, or what might more properly be termed the "poke your nose into everybody's busi­ ness society," have turned out in full force of late and are doing their best to make an impression. We will get them all spotted before long and pub­ lish their names. "Hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may."

Woodstock Sentinel:--D. F. Quinlan of this city and A. M. Webster & Sons of Washington, 111., have just com­ pleted one of the largest real estate deals ever made in this section of the country. It involves approximately 90,000 acres of land, 2027 of which are located in McHenry county, and the balance being Southern lands. Three of this county's choicest farms, through the transaction, were pur­ chased by a wealthy baifker of Cen­ tral Illinois. The other farm of 200 acres goes to a Central Illinois farmer, who intends to move upon the same and make it his home. The total valuation of the property involved in this deal amounts to $789,000. The real estate men who have so success­ fully closed a trade of this magnitude, have spent almost their entire time for the past two months in working out the different problems presented in this matter. The trade involved so many different pieces of land and many owners that the bringing to­ gether of these different interests, speaks highly for the ability and fair­ ness of these men. Mr. Quinlan and the Websters are to be congratulated upon the success of their efforts. lr umianed by McHenry County Abstract Company, Woodstock, Illinois.

NEWS The tuberculosis demonstration to be given at Elgin Jan. 19 during the con­ vention of the Illinois State Dairy­ men's association is creating a great deal of interest. This demonstration is undertaken by the association for the benefit of dairymen and breeders of dairy cattle. It is entirely educa­ tional. The animals selected for slaughter will be animals that have been subjected» to the tuberculin test and they will be on exhibition with other animals during the days of the convention, Jan. 16-19. Competent veterinarians will make the post mor- tems on these animals and the parts will be displayed so that every person present will have an opportunity to see and study the whole situation. i^Vhile so much stress is being placed the butter and cheese makers are not being overlooked. Besides the classes in milk testing and butter judging and the opportunity to see the butter and cheese scored and to ask questions and consult with the judges while the scoring proceeds, there will be ad­ dresses for buttermakers by N. W. Hepburn, in charge of dairy manufac­ turers, University of Illinois, J. C. Joslin, government inspector at Chi­ cago, and H. J. Credicott. Both Messrs. Joslin snd Credicott are former buttermakers who reached the top in the buttermaking work and who had added marketing experience to their factory experience. A milk exhibit is another feature, one quart of nylk constituting an entry in each milk class and one pint of cream in each cream class. Market and certified milk and market and certified cream are the four classes and the milk will be scored according to the government score card.
