AN accident Which may prove quite serl- ous happened--to Nicholas Ivretchmer, of Volo, one day last week. Mr. Ivretch­ mer runs a cattle I breeding farm, and while leading one of his fine bulls to water, the animal became vicious and attacked him. The animal after getting h.im under its feet tried to gore him, would have succeeded," but for some school boys, |who wer# passing on their way from school. They succeededjn getting hold of the rope and tying the animal to "a tree near by and Mr. Kretchmer suc­ ceeded in freeing himself from the ani­ mal. Three ribs were broken and his face was badly cut. The school boys de­ serve great praise for their bravery. PERSONAL. R. SHERBURNE and daughter, Flora, were Nunda visitors Saturday. F.G.

IF the business men of this village would urfite with the farmers and make a reasonable effort to secure a condens­ ing factory, such an industry could soon be established Here. This would bring with it such a revival of business as to completely banish the present discour­ aging situation. Make another effjbrt now ! It is well worth it. WE learn that E. B Perkins has pur chased of theE. M. Owen estate the store building now occupied by Heaman & Schneider, Jewelers. Consideration, §1450. He will, early in the spring, put the building in first class repair, divide it into two stores, one of which will be oc­ cupied by Heaman & Schneider and the other by himself, into which he will putja fine stock of Wall Paper, Paints, Oils, etc., etc. WE learn that many of the summer cottages, at Fox and Pistaqua Lakes, have been broken into during the winter and a considerable amount of property stolen. Among the sufferers rre H. L. Hertz, Noah Pike, Geo. S. Chapell, H. E. Wightman and 0. W. Owen. An effort will be made to find out who these law­ less individuals are, and if found they should be given the fullest extent of the law. AN exchange says "e" is the most un­ fortunate letter in the English alphabet, because it is never in cash, always in debt and never out of danger. Our ex­ change forgets that the aforesaid letter is never in wdr, but always in peace. It is the beginning' of existence, the com­ mencement of ease and the end of trou­ ble. Without it there would be no bread no meat, no water, no life, no gospel, no Jesus, no Heaven. A FARMER near Geneseo set a trap for muskrats along a creek bank near a hole in the ice. A neighbor came along and noticing the hole,flattened out on the ice with the intention of taking a drink. It is claimed as he was about to reach the water his no9e touched the trap and sprung it. His nose is now in mourning and he is afraid it will yet be a grave affair. His apprehensions, however, aj-e probably not well grounded. IF you must walk hand in hand with the devil do so like a man. When you have anything to say against your neighbor come out square toed and say it, but in the name of decency do not sneak around like a thief in the night, like a snake in the grass, and whisper scandalous stories about your neighbor in every ear willing to listen. Do not at­ tempt to ruin a man or woman's char­ acter by any such cowardly acts. Be a man, be a woman, in all you do, whether good or bad. „ THE Antioch News is responsible for the following: "A Swede working for a farmer near this village was requested by his employer to go and feed the hogs some corn in the ear, and a few moments afterwards the farmer went out and found tbe hired man carrying out orders tb the letter, for he was crowding tbe corn down one of the pork­ er's ears at a lively rate, while the ani­ mal was fairly splitting the air with its shrill voice in protesting against such modern style of being fed. IT is more fun, says an exchange, to see a man read a puff of himself in a paper than to see a fat man slip on a banana peel. The narrow minded man reads it seven or eight times and then goes around and appropriates what copies he can. The kind hearted man goes home and reads it to his wife, then pays up his dues to the paper.. The suc­ cessful business man, who advertises reg­ ularly and makes money by it, starts out, finds the editor, and the two walk down the street. The business man takes sugar in his, they eat a clove, or two, life is sweeter, and peace settles down on their hearts for the moment. Such is the experience of seeds that fall upon differ­ ent soils. v / . up a goodly,sum for so good a cause, and fflso hear one of the best lectures of the season. An exchange in speaking of this le *ture says: The lecture by Rev. J. M. Green last, evening, in the opera house, on the bat­ tle of Gettysburg, as the sixteenth deci­ sive battle oi the world, was an excep­ tionally interesting one. The subject matter under discussion wa^ simply cold facts iu history clothed in a most fasci­ nating and realistic manner. . No one who hears Mr, Green's beautiful word painting in this lecture will ever forget the battle Of Gettysburg. Bqar in mind the place and date, to­ morrow evening, at the City Hall. ' THE West McHenry Band and Premier Dramatic Club brought out the Drama of "A Celebrated Case," on Thursday aud Friday evenings last, in; a manner that was highly creditable to themselves and pleasing to those who witnessed it. This is a drama that few amateurs dare tackle, and evolved an amount of work that was deserving of "better audiences than they received last week. But those who were present are loud in their praise of the manner in which it was rendered and numerous requests have been made that it be repeated, and they have con­ sented to do so "on Tuesday evening of n^xt week, at Kiverside Hall. Those who failed to attend last week should not miss this opportunity to do so. At Kiverside Hall/Tuesday evening, Janu­ ary 28th. | A TRUTHFUL ^change says that the man who doesynot advertise simply be­ cause his grandfather didn't, ought to wear knee pants aud a queue. The man who do^sjdot advertise because it costs cnoney, should stop paying rent for the same reason. The man Who does not advertise becauseJie does not know how himself, should stop eating because he cannot eat. The man who does not ad­ vertise because he tried it once'and failed should throw away his cigar because the light, went out. The man who does not advertise because somebody said it did not pay, ought not to believe the world is round because the ancients said it was flat, and then he should advertise. I January Resolutions. IFyou wish to tivoid one. fruitful cause of discomfort during the coming year, make a resolution not to grumble about the weather. Kicking and fault finding never made a hot day cooler or a cold day warmer ; but, on the other' hand, intensify t'he current weather trouble im­ mensely. > . If you want to make your husband gbod natured, resolve to help him have his own wiy invariably. He probably will anyhow, and the adoption and car­ rying out of this resolution will save a whole lot of trouble. If your wife has got in the habit of asking you for money every day resolve RIVERSIDE HALL SKATING RINK. Tbe attraction at the Riverside Hall Bkating Rink, on Saturday evening will bo a TURKEY RACE, the winner to have the Turkey. The West McHenry Band will be present and furnish music for the occasion. All who ever witnessed or participated iu a Turkey Race will bear us out in the statement that it is fun alive. Let everybody turn out and see the fun. Admission, 10 cents. Skates, 15 cents. Five tickets, including skates, $1. Admission to those furnishing their own spates, 15 cents, or eight'tickets for $1. The West McHenry Band will be in at­ tendance. It should be borne in mind that River­ side Hall has one of the finest, floors tor skating to be found in this part of the state, and nothing will be left undone to make it pleasant for all who attend. [Re­ member the date, Saturday evening of this week. to make her a regular allowance and keep your resolution and you will be sur­ prised by the result as she will be by the" resolution. If you have become disheartened by the depravity of your fellow' men, resolve to stop thinking of it and try to do a favor every day to some one oP them. It will amaze you to see how- quickly the world at large will improve in your eyes. If the new year finds you clean discour­ aged because of a lack of" progress in 1895, review the 12 months carefully and see if wasted time has not been at the bottom of your failures. If it, has, rfe-: solve to makethe minutes count in lSSG. A year is made lip of minutes, and you cannot?well fail to advance between New Tear's days if you make every minute count. If you have had hard work keeping New Years resolutions in the past, re­ solve this year to make none and to con­ duct. yourself in such a way that none will be necessary. Good practice is bet­ ter than good resolves always.--Ex. FARM FOR RENT.--I offer my farm, sit­ uated in the town of Greenwood, for Rent on reasonable terms. For particulars inquire of • _ C. B.

Sebrina Baldwin, a former resident of Greenwood, this county, and one of the oldest settlers, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wm. Lee, of Harvard, on Jan. 8th. The remains were interred in the cemetery at Greenwood. Mr. Baldwin was the father of the Hon. Jesse Baldwin, a practicing lawyer of great prominence in Chicago; also,of the late S. D.

Was Sad- She had yielded to the fascinations of tho new woman idea, and was at least a neck ahead of the most advanced. Her husband was meek and lowly, observes the Boston Post, and adds that they lived on Fannin street. After supper she put on her bloomers, got her hat and cane aud said she was going down to the club for an hour or two. Henry had gone to bed and was trying to figure out why he had been born. She reached up to the gas burner and said : "Is there anything I can do for you, Henry before I put out the light?" "Yes my dear, I'm feeling rather ner­ vous to-night. Would you mind look­ ing under the bed to see if there's a woman there before you go out? " The Special Discount Sale. At John I.
