He leaves an estate valued at over $50,000. "RAMBLER," in Elgin Every Saturday, has the following: "Daniel Webster was extraordinarily fond of oxen. His oxen would follow him about the farm like so many dogs. An ox is an awfully dear little pet. I know a farmer out west of Elgin who has a pet bull that chases him all over the pasture and if the farmer doesn't see him first he will get frisky and toss the farmer over the fence or up into a tree, just as playful like as a kitten." A Hig-h Compliment. , E. P. Wise, General Agent for the Phenix Insurance Company, while here a short time since, informed us that their Agent in this village, Simon Stoffel, does the largest soliciting business of any Agent in the state o? Illinois. This ia a high compliment to Mr. Stoffel, and one which all who know his hurtling business proclivities are sure is well deserved. We also understand he stands second with the National, of Hartford. THAT the average man does not know how to drive a horse, is the verdict of the average woman, and to illustrate the fact Mrs. S., who is sojourning at Pistaqua Bay, attempted to prove to her unbelieving other half that she knew a thing or two about driving. The pony was hitched up iand Mrs. S. started for a ride. Result, a vehicle with two badly sprung axles, and things generally de­ moralized, especially the nerves of the lady. And Mr. S., '^jthe horrid thing," only laughs. THE September number of McClnre's Magazine will contain a series of life por­ traits of Henry Clay, most of them never before published.

Weber Bros. Band, of Chicago, was in attendance and dis­ coursed excellent music during both days and evenings, which added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. Also one of the finest Choirs in the city of Chicago were present both days, and after sing­ ing in the church on Sunday morning, gave a Concert on the Picnic grounds in the afternoon, at both places being lis­ tened to by -large and' appreciative audiences. They were pronounced by all who heard them to be equal to any they ever listened to. As we said before the weather was most unfavorable, being cool on Saturday, rainy and threatening on Sunday, but notwithstanding this the Fourth Annual Festival of this Society can safely be pro­ nounced a success, and although the committee have not as yet figured up it is estimated that it will net the Society the handsome sum of something near $000. • - * ' Accident at Fistaq.ua Bay. A serious and almost fatal accident occurred at Pistnqua Bay on Sunda.v morning last. The circumstances, as we learned them are as follows: A Mr. Barso, of Chicago, who is stopping at Stilling's Hotel, was &frt with a gun, and in getting over or through a fence, draw­ ing the gun after him by the muzzle, it was discharged, the entire charge strik­ ing his left arm between the elbow and the shoulder, tearing away the flesh and shattering the bone in a horrid manner. Dr. Alder, who is sojourning at the Bay, was called and Dr. Fegers, of this village, immediately sent for, who, on his arrival took out the pieces of bone, squared the shattered ends and bound them together, since which time the patient has been resting easy, and with good luck will probably suffer no inconvenience with the exception that the wounded arm will probably be a little shorter than the other. It was a narrow escape from death, for had the muzzle been diverted but a few inches he would have received the entire charge in his body. Narrow Escape from Drowning1. A LITTLE daughter of John J. Buch, aged about three years, had a narrow escape from drowning on Saturday last . She was sittiug in his buggy near thf river bank, when, child-like, she strucjf the horse a sharp blow with the whip The horse started and plunged into the river where the water was about four feet deep, and the plunge threw the child out into the water. The horse took a short circle and came out on the shore, with the child clinging to the buggy, which she had grasped in her struggles, and thus saved herself from death, It was a remarkable occurrence, especially for one so young. Accident at the Ice House. Amos Wolff, a son of Albert Wolff, aged about, seventeen years, met with a severe and painful accident, while work­ ing in the ice houses et McCoIlum's Lake, on Tuesday morning.--He was wouBded with an ice chisel, two of his toes on the right foot being cut completely off, only hanging by the skin at the bottom, while the third one *was badly cut. He was taken to the office of Dr. J. L Abt, who sewed on the two toes and dressed the foot, and he is now as comfortable as could be expected under the circum­ stances. While he will be laid up for some time his foot will not be crippled by the accident. CAPT. GEO. A. JOHNSON, a prominent West Side (rhicago) man died very sud­ denly at Fox Lake, Saturday. August 7, of apoplexy. He had just taken the tiller to sail in the regatta of the Fox Lake Yacht Club when stricken down. He was an insurance man on Carpenter street and was spending the summer months with his family on the north shore of Fox Lake. A widow and five children survive him. Coroner Knight impaneled a jury who rendered a verdict of dpath from apoplexy. The remains were taken to Chicago for burial--Antioch News. THE Ladies' Aid Society of the M. E Church will meet with Mrs, W. F. Bassett, on Friday afternoon, August 20, at the usual hour. Ten cent Tea will be served from five to eight o'clock. Everybody come out and bring your friends.

The proceeds will be given toward the repairing of the M. E. Church. It is hard to find a person who, would live in a towb where there wa§no church. The more the churches the better the people, and the better the church seat9 the better the sermon. If you believe the last thought, do not fail to attend. THB COTTNTT FAIB. Before another issue of this p.aper the McHenry County Fair for 1897 will be in full blast. Are you ready to attend and give it your assistance in making it a very successful one? The bounteous corn crop, which Beem* already secured, should make it necessary that you have a little recreation beforo commencing to to cut it. The Fair offers extra induce­ ments thisyear. The many new features which have been added, and the fine pro­ gram to be given each day of the Fair, makes it important that you so plan your work as to attend each day. The fine speed program and the large list of entries which have been received will make that feature of the Fair: something far superior to any year in the past. The Poultry Exhibit Once more I would like to say to the Poultry Breeders who expect to exhibit at the Fair next week to be 6ure and have their stock on the ground the first day of the fair, as Our judge, F. H. Shell* abarger, of Iowa, will have all the work to do Wednesday, as he has another en­ gagement for Thursday. That the ex. hibit vi ill be large is evident from the fact that several calls for room have already been made, one party alone call­ ing for 320 square feet of floor space Remember we have over $250 in pre­ miums offered for this large show of poultry, which is $ 125 more than is offered by the Walworth Co.

He said they had to mow the grass off the sod floor to find the baby. One family near bim had twin babies with only one cradle, and the kid who had to sleep on the floor grew twice as fast as the other. Where the soil is richest a man dare not stand on one foot any length of time lest one leg become longer than the other and bother him in walking. Auditors' Not ce.
