THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.- The Republican- Caucus, on Saturday last, to select fifteen delegates to repre­ sent this town in the County Convention, to be held at Woodstock March 27th, was .one of the largest Gatherings of the kind ever held in this town, two hundred and fifteen votes being polled. There were two tickets in .the fi^ld, the only question being whether they should in­ struct for State Senator alone or whether for State Senator and State Board of •Equalization. The one instructing for State Senator alone was victorious by an overwhelming majority, many of the names of delegates being on both tickets. . . . - Li • . --- The following are the names of the del­ egates chosen: . -- James B.

IT is not necessar3T that a newspaper should print everything that happens, even though it be news. If it wounds the sensibilities, or injures the interests or reputation of some person, when no sub­ stantial good can arise, it had better be omitted. There is such a thing as an editor having a too lofty as well as a too low cenception of his duty. Unless a good purpose can be subserved by the publication of an article involving the character or the interests of an individ­ ual, no professional or ethical obligation rests upon the editor to print it. DII^£SIF FEGERS, ot this village, has no\<>4vithout doubt, the finest turnouts in the shape of carriages of any physician in Northern Illinois. He has just re­ ceived a new "Physician's Coupe," which is one of the finest vehicles ever seen in in this section: It is enclosed on all sides, with glass panels and slots for the lines to pass through, and is warmed by a heater with a patent smokeless coal, so that the temperature on the THE ladies of the W.

The funeral services were held from the resi­ dence on Sunday afternoon and the remains were laid at rest in Oakland cemetery. \ WE have just learned that F. L Carr has purchased the Wauconda Letxlor and will hereafter conduct the same Frank has been in the business before and the citizens of Wauconda are sure to have a good paper while it. is under his control. We wish him purcess in his new field. TNDKR the present election law all nominations for township officers, mu^t be made either by caucus or noniination papers fifteen days before the election, which occurs this year on Tuesday, April 7th. The latest date therefore for ti'.ing nomination papers will be on Monday, March 23d. AN Arkansas editor has let himself out in this fashion : "You may have all the stars in a nail keg^ hang the ocean on a rail fence to dry, put the sky in a gourd to soak, unbuckle the bellyband of eter­ nity, let out the sun and moon--but never delude yourself with the idea that you can escape the place on the other side of purgatory unless you pay the printer." WHAT was suppose 1 to be the largest pine tree in Wisconsi.i was cut down a few days ago at Antigo. It was well known as a land mark. Several years ago the top was blown off leaving the trunk standing. This trunK measured 22 feet in circumference and is.150 feet in length, and two feet in diameter at the top. The full length of the tree was 260 feet. It required five grown persons to reach around it. FROM the 1st to the 31st of January, •the days lengthen one hour and twenty- five minutes. In February they gain one hour and forty-five minutes. The month of March adds two hours and thirty-six minutes. April one hour and nine min­ utes. May two hours and twenty min­ utes. June but nine minutes. It will thus be seen that the month ot March makes the greatest gain, while the month of June makes .the smallest, its gam be­ ing but nine minutes, which is made be­ tween the 1st and l-ith? Full line of Fruits and Groceries at Gilbert's East Side store. inside can be kept at <30 while the ther­ mometer on the outside is below zero. 11 is certainly a very comfortable as •veil as handsome turnout. The Doctor says he has been saving horses long '•nough. He now proposes to try and sa ve himself. He also has a new Eng­ lish ""Cabriolet, two seater,'for a family carriage, which is also one of the finest in this section. While a physician's life is one of the hardest the Doctor pro­ poses to make it as comfortable as may be, and no one blames him. WHILE in Chicago a short time since our attention was called to a ten story building being erected on Washington street,^he front of which is being put in by the American Terra Cotta and Ceramic Company, of Terra Cotta, 111. As these works are located within four miles of McHenry, a short description of the front ofthis building, which is cer­ tainly a very handsome and unique one, cannot fail of being interesting to our readers. The front is called Glazed Terra Cotta, and the coloring aud shad­ ing is the finest we ever saw, the con­ trasts showing an architectural taste seldom equaled. The first two stories are of a dark green, spotted with light, with ornamented capitals to the col­ umns. From the third to the eighth story a cream ground, spotted with bluck and brown. From the eighth to the tenth a cornish of half round fluted (old Ionic) columns with cream back­ ground. The balance being of the same color with a little darker shading. In the center of the pediment or cornice are two reclining figures, a ijian and a woman, each 13 feet in length, (but which at that height look much small­ er) which is a fine finish to this magnifi­ cent front. No description we can give will, half do it justice. It must be seen to be appreciated. Mr. H. L. Griffin, of this village, who mixes the glazing and colors and super­ intends this entire work, has just cause to feel proud of this handsome front, as it is something different than ever before produced and is being noticed and ad­ mired by every architect in the city. It would pay any one when in the city to walk around and see this beautiful piece of architecture and be convinced that we have not exaggerated in our rambling description. The American TerraCotta Works are fast 3oming to the front as the foremost institution of the kind in the United States. BOARD OF AUDI'i'OES MEETING.
