For the past ten or twelve years he has lived ai Duluth, Minn., only coming here occasionally. About fiye months ago he went to his sister's, at Evanston, and was confined to his bed most of the time, but getting better he came to McHenry some four or six "weeks ago, thinking a change might prove oeneficial, but it proved of no avail. Death had too firm a hold and would not be shaken ofL Ile^iwastaken back to Evanstou by his friends, and lived but a few days, passing away as above stated.

SMITH, who resides with her sons at Smith's Corners, near Ring- wood, met with a fall on the Fair ouads, at Woodstock, on Friday last', injuring herself quite severely. At her age such a fall may prove of a serious nature. She has the sympathy of all in her misfortune. THE ladies $ho contemplate taking iessons of Mrs. McFarlin should bear in tnind that she only remains here until jthe second week in September,and if they flo not improve the chance now it. will soon be too late.

They have now tht best half mile n track in the state, new buildings throughout, and in every par­ ticular they are prepared to make a slriSwing in every department equal to any aud surpassed by none. This sec­ tion, as it always is, will be well repre­ sented a.t Liberty ville on the dates above named. THE wearing of bloomers aud knicker­ bockers is evidently likely to produce sortie new so Jal distinctions. According to a Liverpool paper, a young man was arrested recently in that city, charged with kissing a woman against her will, in the public highway. The prisoner pleaded that she was in bloomers, and that he mistook her for a long lost brother. The magistrate discharged him. The editor cruelly adds that the demand for bloomers in that city has sfyown a remarkable increase." /MCHENRY Public School will open on Monday next, with the following corps of tibacherw; Prof. Joel II.

Prof Hurley comes highly recommended from the State Normal School as a teacher of ability and experience, and assisted as he will be by the able corps of teachers under him, all oi whom 'are well and favorably known here, we predict for the .McHenry Public School a very profitable time the coming year.

Harley, a graduate of Dartmouth Col­ lege, and also of the State Normal, they place at the head of the school a gentle­ man of rare ability and experience, one who. with a corps of able assistants, will place the school in the front ranks of graded .schot^ in the county. To pupils .desiring to enter the school who reside outside the district, the fol­ lowing information will be of interest: The tuition per month is, $1.for Primary rooms, $1. 25 for Intermediate and ble in advance each half term. Upon re­ ceipt of tuition the clerk will give a re­ ceipt check which, upon being presented to the Principal, will entitle the pupil to admission fir the time credited.

About four years ago he went to Iowa, where he remained until a few months since. He was a man highly honored and re­ spected by all who knew him. Being nat­ urally of a social disposition he had a pleasant word for all whom he met, and 4te believe it can be truly said he had not an enemy among his acquaintances. He leaves an aged wrife and six children, four daughters and two sons, to mourn his loss, who have the deepest sympathy of this entire community in their great sorrow. His funeral was held from the Johns- burgh Church, on Sunday morning last, and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and sympathizing friends. A Card.

He closed by saying: "Your condition in this matter would lead me, were 1 editor of these papers to promptly throw into the waste basket any com­ munication sent in by any society, tin members of which were too proud or too stingy to take a paper, or if I inserted it, to demand lull advertising rates for every line published." old, at the County Fair, last week, com- Vor ti,at matter, who think a newspaper MRS.

Out of 3.SD0 convicts in the State peniteu- tiary of Texas there is not a printer or a newspaper man, while there are minis­ ters, doctors, bankers, photographers, bar-keepers, cooks and members of. all the other professions and callings. The printer gets a bad name merely because the nature of his business teaches him to detect shams, and he therefore scorns to play hypocrite. THE Hotel Woodstock, Mrs. J. Iv.

The rooms are all neat and jpLeasant while the table is supplied at all times with the best the market affords. •For a hotel where the comforts of home can be found we take pleasure in recom­ mending the Hotel Woodstock. It is indeed a model country hotel. THE County Fair, at Woodstock lasn week, was,; notwithstanding the threat­ ening weather the first of the week, a euccess, financially and otherwise. Thurs­ day and Friday the crowds were immense j and thanks to the united efforts of the officers, the programme was carried out in full, and to the entire satisfaction of all. The races were txceptionally good, each class being well filled and the contests close from start to finish. The show in every department was equal if not super­ ior to any former year, and the Fair of 1895 can be put down ap a bright spot in the history of the society. We have not learned the amount of the feceipts. THE Conundrum Slipper, at the resi­ dence of Hon. F. K.

Benjamin, editor of the Spec­ tator, Rushford, N.Y., says: " it may •oe a pleasure to you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlain's medicines are held by the people of your own state, where""they must be best known. An auut of mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to visit me a few years since, and before leaving home wrote me, asking me if they were sold here, stating if they were not she would bring a quan­ tity with her, as she did not like to be without them." The medicines referred to are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, famous for its cures of colds and croup; Chamberlain's Puiu Balm for rheuma­ tism, lame back, pain in the sides and chest, aud Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy for bowel com­ plaints. These medicines have been in constant use in Iowa tor almost a quar­ ter of a century. The people have learn­ ed that they are' articles of great worth and merit, and unequaled by any other. They are for sale here by J. A. Story. No. 1 fine salt, §1 per barrel, at S. Stoffel's. School Stationery.
