MARRIED.--At the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Sherburne, in this village, on Tuesday afternoon, April 6th, 1897,. by Rev J. R Clark, Clayton C. Harrison, of Ringwood, and Miss Flora W Sherburne, of McHenry. The above was a very quiet wedding, none but the immediate relatives of the bride and groom being present. After the ceremony the company sat down to a sumptuous repast, prepared by Mrs Sherburne, after Which the happy couple departed for their future home, in Ringwood, followed bv the best wishes of all present. The groom is one of Ring woods most popular young men, while the bride is the youngest daughter of Robt Sherburne, of this village, and is H youiig lady whom to know is to honor and respect. Their many friends in and around Mcriertrv join with us in wi^hinft them a long, happy aud prosperous life. AN exchange -says that t v >ry publisher in the Ktfit'e choold publish the fact that burnt corn is good for hog cholera.. 1? was first discovered by burning a pile of corn belonging to a distillery. It wan thrown to the hogs and eaten by them Before that a number of them had been dying every day from cholera, but the disease immediately disappeared. It is BO simple a remedy that it can easily be tried. TRY thiB: Tie a string about a yard long to a common door key and take the string in the right hand, holding it so the key will clear the floor four or Ave inches. If you can hold the string steady enough the key will begin to swing back and forth in a straight line. Let another person take your left hand in his and the motion of the key will change from the pendulum-like swing to a circular swing. If a third person will place his hand on the second.person the key will stop. Try it and theu explain 'f you can. HERE is something we clip from an ex­ change/ It may be of eome benefit to fruit raisers: "A farmer in an Oregon paper say s: 'Fvery year I hear of cater- pillers destroying "whole orchards and there is nothing to be disposed of more easily. I bore a hole in the tree deep enough to reach the sap, fill it with sul­ phur and then plug it up. The result is magical. The sap takes the sulphur to every branch and twig and the caterpil- ler at once dies. I have never known a tree to be injured by it, and have pur­ sued the course for years.

SIX FAMILIES IQMILESS! _>r» And Property to the Amount of • 12,000 Destroyed. » About six o'clock on Thursday even­ ing last our citizens were startled by that dread alarm of Fire! Fire! and in a few minutes the streets were thronged with men, women and children, all anxious to learg its whereabouts and render what assistance they could in subduing its ravages. The fire originat­ ed in an empty ice house connected with what is known as the Howe block, on the corner of Water and Pearl streets, and before it waasubdued it had destroy­ ed the whole Howe property, consisting of seven buildings, including stores and residences; also the saloon building and residence of A. Euglen, and the residence and barber shop of Geo. Rosenberger, on the south side of the property. It was only by the superhuman efforts of bur citizens that our village was saved from total destruction. A strong northeast wind was blowing and the burning shingles were carried to the extreme por­ tions of the village. During the time many buildings were on fire. 1 The Uni- versalist church barely escaped destruc­ tion. In all six families were made homeless, viz: John Young, George Overocker, D. B. Woodburn, FrSd Karls, Anton Englen and Geo. Rosenberger Jos. Bishop, who had a barber shop in the Howe block, succeeded in saving the most of his furniture. The spread Of the fire was so rapid that very little of the contents of the other buildings were saved and thatrin a badly broken con­ dition. , With the strong wind blowing burning shingles filled the air in all directions and it is a miracle there is a building iu the east part of the town to-day. While there was water in abundance on all sides, there was no meads on hand to use it, even the supply of pails being BO limited that the crowd could not work to advantage. This latter is accounted for by the fact that nearly every resident on the east side was obliged to station men with pails of water qn top of their buildings to put out the flying embers that were continually lighting there. And eveu then many buildings were in constant danger for several hoars. Our citizens worked heroically, how­ ever, and to this fact, and the good judgment used*by them in their ^efforts, are we indebted for the comparatively small loss sustained, which otherwise would have been much larger. The losses, as near as we can learn them at th5s writing, are as follows: Anton Englen, buildings, stock and furniture, $5,000; injured for $1,200. Geo. Rosenberger, building and furniture ,500; insured for $600. G. F. Boley, $500; fully insured. Howe block, $2,500; insured for $800. The loss of the ten­ ants of the Howe block will probably foot up about $500, with no insurance. The cause of the fire can only be sur­ mised. It broke out iu the empty ice house, which, if reports are true, should have received the attention of the authorities long ago. That the safety of our village should be at the mercy of a lot of hoodlums and bums, without even a reprimand from the authorities, is disgraceful in the extreme. Shall We Have Fire Proteotlon P The lesson of Thursday evening last should be sufficient to convince the most skeptical of our citizens that McHenry is in need of some kind of fire protection. To be sure there has Jjeen much talk in relation to the matter during the past year, and the question now is, was the lesson of Thursday evening impressed upon the minds of those in authority sufficient to inake them act? There is, of course, a difference of opinion, as to what is best to be done, some favoring Water Works, while others are < f the opinion that Fire engines could be procured that would do the work But we hope all bickerings will now be stopped aud action taken that 'vj|! uive us fire' protection and at the name time be for the best iuterest of the village 'By apathy and carelessness the horee vi a< allowed to be stolen. Let us now lock the barn before we lose the buggy and harness; We hope to see something done at once in this matter. Put all selfish ends aside and do that which will be of the greatest good to all. A Card of Thanks: Anton Englen, George Rosenberger, and in fact all those who suffered by the fire on Thursday evening last, wish us to return their thanks to our citizens who sti nobly responded to the alarm of fire, and labored so faithfully toaid'them in removing and saving their property from the fiery fiend. Every one worked with a will and considering the facilities at hand done marvelous work. To the .sneak.thieves, who took ad­ vantage of the misfortune of others to pilfer from what little was saved, we have not words to express ourcontempt, and could they be caught a short piece of rcpe and the nearest lamp post would give them their just deserts. AT the Corporation Caucus, held at the City Hall, on Saturday afternoop last, the following ticket-jwas put in nomina­ tion: For President, John I. Story. Fbr Trustees, Chas. H.
