The very choicest of Candies, chocolate, maple, cocoanut, bon bon«, iu one and twf> pound boxes, at Gilbert Bros., PekOYeky Block. far OBll'TJARY.l DIED--Suddenly, at his home tear Mc­ Henry. 111., Feb 17tb, Paul W., young­ est son Of Mrs. Isabel, and the late Robert Richardson, in the nineteenth year of her age. Rarely has the parsing away of afriend called forth in this community.such un­ usual grief 4nd intense sympathy with an afflicted" family as the deaths by ac­ cident, of this estimable young man. At sunset., on Wednesday, Feb. 17tb, > he went out of his home to attend to his usual duties in caring - for his stock, and half an hour later was found in a dying condition in the open field in sight of his own door. It is supposed that in lead­ ing or riding his horse to the well it be­ came unmanageable, and that he was thrown with such force upon the ground as to"criuse an internal injury, torn which he died. Although he "continued to breathe nearly an hour he did not re­ gain consciousness, and as the Bhades of evening fell upon his home, the brave young life that had been the j of the household had gone out. " \ The sorrow that has fallen upon that home is too sacred to unveil. In their affliction the mother and family have the deep sympathy of all who know them, and a gloopi rests upon the entire community. Few young men in any position have won for themselves so early;in life the high place in public esteem that was ac­ corded to Paul Richardson. Devoted to his friends, ever ready, to aid those need­ ing assistance, his 6unny cheerfulness made him ever welcome in social circles, while his manly, upright, industrious business life secured to him the respect of all. With his elder brother he was left fatherless at an age when most boys sorely needed a father's guidance and control, and* he thus learned early to •share t he responsibilities of the home How well he fulfilled his duties and met the unusual responsibilities, those can testify who have been privileged to wit­ ness the bappy home life, of which, next to the mo; her, Paul was the strength and joy. H:s funeral on Friday, Feb. 19, called together a concourse of citizens, younir and old, such as has rarely if ever assem­ bled to do honor to the memory of a youth. The towns of Marengo, Seneca, Woodstock, Greenwood, Ringwood, He­ bron and McHenry were all represented in the sorrowing company who followed his remains to their final resting place. The services were conducted by Rev. S. C. Hay, of Woodstock, the choir of the M. E. church, of McHenry, rendering the impressive music, and the flower-laden casket was borne by hie young compan­ ions to rest beside his kindred, until the glad morning o^the resurrection. "They cannot be where God is not, On auy sea or shore; Whate'er betides, Thy love abides, Father, ioreverjnore." S. O. H. Woodstock, Feb. 22, 1897. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT The pupils of the Ostend school have unanimously adopted the following reso­ lutions of respect: WHEREAS. Our Heavenly Father, in His wise providence, has seen fit to re­ move from our midst our esteemed friend Paul Richardson, and . WHEREAS, We desire to ondole with and offer our sympathy to the relatives who feel aud mourn his early and sudden death eo severely, therefore be it Resolved, That in bis death we, the young people of Ostend have sustained a loss which will not easily be repaired, and whose presence will sadly be missed by us all, for in him we recognized not only a leading and genial companion, but a tried and true friend and gentle­ man, who was always ready and willing to assist and befriend the friendless. And be it Resolved, That we, the young people of Ostend, tender to the bereaved familv in this, their hour of so sad an affliction, our heartfelt sympathy. And be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolu­ tions be presented to the mourning fam­ ily and that the same be published in a number of the county papers.

THE Scientific American gives the fol­ lowing simple recipe for thawing out frozen water pipes: "Place unslacked lime around the pipes, cover with straw, and then pour on water. The beat gen­ erated by~fhe slacking of the lime will thaw out the pipes if the operation is properly carried out.' Pipes may also be .protected from freezing by first wrap­ ping with F\traw, then putting on a layer of unslacked lime, and finally again cov­ ering with straw. The gradual slacking of the atmosphere evolves sufficient; heat to prevent water pipes from freezing for a whole season." . OBITUARY. DIED--At his home at Terra Cotta, Feb. 18th, 189.7, Eddie Knox. ̂ Again has the angel of death entered a happy home and claimed for its victim one of our brightest and most beloved young men. Just entering upon the threshold of manhood, when life was most sweet, most enjoyable, when hopes were brightest, ambitions strongest, and friendshipsjand affections deepest, in that happiest and best portion Of hisexistence when it was hardest to go,' and sweetest, to remain, the dread summons came. Why it is that so many die under cir­ cumstances which seem that they should live, we cannot fully understand. /God'q wajs are as mysterious and incompre­ hensible as Himself. They all lead how­ ever to one grand goal, viz: To His glory and our good. Just as every stream, no matter how distant it may be, or how devious its course, empties finally intp the sea. In His seemingly cruel dispensations there is al ways, * far beyond some great beneficent purpose, hidden maybe to us, but seen clearly by Him. Out of death springs life in the natural order. Is it not so in the spirit­ ual order? Out of this untimely1, death which you mourn no doubt a purer, nobler, more lasting life has blosaonied forth. Out of this darkness which en­ circles aud enshrouds you, no. doubt a bright endless day has already dawned, for him that is gone. Eddie died young, having not yet reached his 22d year. Throughout his< long period of sickness be bore his suffer­ ing with a patience that was remarkable even to the last. Surrounded by those near and dear interceding in his behalf, he passed away, as a babe in its mother's arms, seemingly free from all pain and suffering. The calm, peaceful expression of his features in death told of a happy death, aud a hope of a like peaceful meeting with his God. A mother h s given a second cherished son. The two brothers who loved each other so dearly, now sleep side by side in the quiet church yard. Together in life, together in death, they are together to­ day, we trust, at the feet of God, in Heaven. To this sorrowing mother, brothers and sisters, the hand of sympa­ thy is extended. Though a cloud of sad­ ness hangs over your home, and a bright light has gone out from it, a happy, joy­ ful day, without a cloud, will yet come for you. That day will be when you meet your dear ones in Heaven. Such, we trust, the coming years will bring you, and in its clear and eternal shining the darkness of these sad hours will quickly vanish and shall be as if the/ had never been. He whom He IOVCS He chastlscth, Wcat solace from above, To know that while jou Brieve on earth, You mav gain a Father's love. Dear mother, youi' heart Is bled, Hyisorrow's bitter grief, Should look above for strength to bear, And you will And relief. Turn to that scene on Oalvary's mount, Think of that mother's loss; Asjshe gazed upon her bleeding son, Then dying upon tne cross, . Those sisters who by prayer and deed, Besought hie life- to savo; Will find a comfort In that hope That lies beyond the grave. ' He at the throne of grace w ill plead, In retutn for kindness given; A. 3ister's love, how pure, how sweet, Uuiding him on to heaven. Then grieve not for your dear on^, For soon again j ou'll meet; And in tbe bliss of that reunion, Your joy will be complete. %* OBITUARY. DIED--At Terra Cotta, Feb. 27, 1897, after a foug illness, Mrs. Wm. Doherty. It has again become our painful duty to chronicle the death of one whose loss seems unusually sad and pathetic, leav­ ing a kind husband and six small child­ ren, whose tender years will feel deeply the loss of a mother's loving care. In obis case death seems to be unusually cruel in its visitation, and why it should rob ai' happy home of a loving wife and devoted mother seems hard to understand. This is because we do not fully know God. It is for our own true good, not temporal but spiritual or eternal. She always made home happy. What a noble record. How frequently and faithfully she ministered to the spir­ itual as well as temporal necessities of her family, was shown by her frequent attendance at Divine service. Inclement weather, distance, not even sickness, were barriers between her and her duty to God. And, as Father Meehan spoke solemnly on the christian virtues of this model wife and mother, particularly in her preparation for death, a genuine sympathy aud emotion was manifested by tbe large concourse of people who had come to pay a last tribute of respect to a deurly cherished friend. We can well imagine the grief that wrings the fond husband's and aged mother's heart. But remember a great, christian duty is resignation to do God's will. Christ has gone before us in the way of suffering when he exclaimed, "Not, my will, but Thine, oh God, be fulfilled." 80 as ye have met with this sad loss in approaching season of Lent, which is emblematic of sorrow and death, so also will you arise from this sadness, (which now seems to verge on despair), on that, beautiful resurrection morn, to be reun­ ited with her for whom ail hearts tc-Jay are lifted up in prayer. Though puliation's rod we'ghf heavy, in the death of your loving wife, May your christian filth sus'Min you And cheer yonr lonely life. Faith tells us that *tie soon may know. Though resting berieath-the eo'i, That her foul will grow an t blossom 'Neath the bleeaed smile of God. Dear children, when by her grave you kneei. With mingled tears and prayer. May the gmrdian angels hear your volse And take ye to their care. May the filth your dear mother implanted In r.he innoaent min is of youth, Be your safeguard against temptation And your guide in the way of truth. Oh FTeavenly Father hear our prayer, Soothe all their childish woe, And ot>eer the many lonely hours The motherless mij know. A blessed mollies too, will hear, And gnard thin little band. Falling them atill closer to her cara With her protecting band, And when the beautcon* SDrlng time comet, W.th blossoms svveet and' fair, Reserve the choicest ror her grave And often p'ace them there, Now if, in all the coming years. C^ese lines may cheer you on; Our pen has told of evmpathy, Our feeble task is done. YOCBS IN SYMPATHY. RIDGEFIELD. " Many are suffering with the grip. Blanch Lynch was, a Nunda caller Friday. .

Don'ttry to catch the handle-bar with your teeth. Don't look around to see if the hind wheel is following. Don't be surprised if the front wheel shows a disposition to turn into a yard and l'e down for a rest.. C ̂ ~ Always fall on your right shoulder, and do not let your ear strike the ground till a few seconds later. When you lose^a pedal don't get off and go back to look for it. It's there on the machine still, and if you'll feel for it long enough you'll find it again. Should you find a runaway horse on your trail, keep close to tbe curb until he has passed. Then make a spurt and seize him by the tail and put on the brake. Never hill a pedestrian when it can be avoided, but when you do kill one, dis­ mount and say you're sorry.
