JAMES NouTiiiioi'died at his home, in Woodstock, on Sunday morning last, aged 71 years, He had been in contin­ uous practice in this county for about forty years.

C.^fiad's farm, just west of this village, last week, and at the depth of nineteen feet struck what proved to be a flowing welJ. He put down an iuch and a half pipe, leaving it three feet above the ground, and the water came with such force as to displace a stone larger than a hen's egg, placed on top of the pipe. The water is cold and pure spring water. It is thought that when com­ pleted it will throw a stream fully six feet above the surface of the ground. It is well worth going to see. THE next time a traveling peddler calls at your door and tries to sell you goods, ask him if he will take your butter, eggs, a,nd other farm produce; ask him if when your neighborhood gets ready to build a road or bridge over a creek or slough he will be willing to donate a few dollars to help it along. Tell him there is a poor widow down the road who would be very thankful if he would donate a few- pro­ visions; ask him if ho will contribute to an enterprise just starting. If he agrees to do this, then patronize him. Your home merchant does all this and more. FOR the past eight days humanity has b;en suffering under a temperature of from 90 to 105 degrees in the shade with scarcely any let up, night or day. Dur­ ing this time thunder showers have been frequent, but each time when it clears up the heat is more intense than ever. In the large cities the suffering is even more severe, hundreds being prostrated and many deaths occurring daily. At this writing there is no prospect of a let up aud the question is how long can we stand it? It is said that "the prayers of the righteous availeth much." If there are any such in this section let them commence at once. WHITE RIBBONURS. Of McHenry Co. and Elsewhere, Please TAKE NOTICE. The W. C. T.

It was a half mile dash and was won easily by the Whiting horse, in 58 Beconde, the Wood horse boltiug the track at the quarter pole. The latter was clearly the fastest horse of the two had he kept the track. The Bicycle Race drew out only two contestants, Paul Gates, said to have been from Chicago, and therefore under protest, but who registered as, from Terra Cotta, and C. Sizer, of Barrington. It was for mile heats, best two in three, and was wou by Sizer, taking the first and third heats. We did not get the Lime. This closed the programme of the day. Driving Park for August 22d.
