GLOKIOUS prospects for crops in county. THE annual {4 Fourth of July excursion to Chicago has been arranged for.

LET'S have another big celebration on Fourth of July—one that will astonish the natives.

WHO people com- hack from Greenfield bayju with big fish stories, ask them to show the fish.

FOUR Saturday evening papers issued this afternoon. "You pajs your money and you takes your choice."

STKAWHERHIES are gradually reaching that point when they cease to becnroe merely objects of our special wofi pr, and begin to be a thing of occasional diet.

THE average citizen can scarcely digest the four Saturday evening papers and the Sunday morning Express in time to put in an appearance at morning church services.

LET US gather at the river," is the song of the hoodlums now of an afternoon. Bathing Judiciously is healthful and—but we shall not be so ridiculous as to gi vo ad vice to boys. More sense in whistling to the wind.

As you chew the indigestible cucumber, it is well to know that in addition to the usual supply of colic, a now danger has been discovered, being nothing loss than a tape worsi. A Philadelphia scientist recently made the discovery.

A CALL is made for a mooting at the Council Chamber, Monday evening, to take the initiatory steps towards a proper celebration of the Fourth of July. Aside from patriotic motives, it will pay our business men pecuniarily, in the increased trade It will bring to the city. All should lend a helping hand. Let no one stay away from the meeting, think ing that there will be other^ there to start the movement. I -k

THE first number of the Saturday Evening Ledger— under the proprietorship of Edmunds Terry A Roderus— was issued last Saturday aftornoon. The publishers have exhibited good tasto in patterning very closely after The Mail and of course it is a handsome papor, with the exception of the hoadiug. Mr. Edmunds was prevented by sickness from taking-part in the editorial work, but Mr. Terry got out a very readable paper. The advertising columns indi cate that the Lodger has come to stay."

THRf5aturdfc£ Evening^ Ledger was tho only paper in this city to crack a joke, on tho occasion of Kate Claxton'd visit here, over her recent flro escapes. MisrCiaxton'S businew hs*rbeeu „aeri ously affected by tlils^ofienjj VfHb. JJiNo sooner is sho announced to appear in a town than tome paper commences to howl, "Howare of a conflagration." This is nonsense. £he story, that ^lf». Clax ton staid that she had a presentment that sho would pvontually bo burnod to doath is dcuied by the lady herself. Toor Kate CI ax ton has passed through enough trouble without being persecuted by the jests of thoughtless newspaper raon. t'* i- -.mat

A SAD accident ooourred last Sunday, by, which Otto Everett ilulman, 17 years of age, son of Theodore Huluian, near the Provldeuoe Hospital, lost his life, llo had not been in good health, and thinking tho ride would do him good, accompanied a colored young man to the home of the latter's father in Lost Creek township. While there ho sayif a squirrel in a tro'i and taking a gun w^about tO( shoot it, wbealt Is ^upposnl tbo trigger' or lock caugUt In'iis^ofcltig and the charge ontering xituUrf^e chin, passed through the braip,\^brting immediate death. Youhg 6$o was a premising boy, a meiul^ct^r roe High School. His school mate| attended the fdueral in a body on luelday. In this terrible bereavement the parentn have much sympathy In this community.

THK annual floral offer lng—a fitting and beautiful tribute to the tuenioigp of tho bravo dead—was deposited Wednesday afternoon jou the graves of the Madiera whoso boJ!#sTVe in our cemetery. We are sorry to sky that outside of a faithful few, little jeal Interest was taken in the ceremony. A prooawdon of girls and boye boating the floral offerings, beaded by a band and followed by the Fire Department and a few carriage* marched from Main atrtfet to the retne* tcry and deposited a floral crow and wreath upon each grave. Immediately after, in,the|grove opposite the cemetery, Hon. Wiu. Maok called the assemblage to on!or, prayer was oifcrcd by Rev. t\ H. Henderson, and appropriate muric rendered by a choir. Mr. Mack made an earnest and forcible appeal for the erection of a soldiers* monument, and then introduoed Col. James B. Black, who made the address. Judge Gookins followed, and after music by the excellent choir, tho audlenoe dispersed,

MARRfAQE LICENSES. The following marriage licensee have been issued since our last report:

John a May and Annie Ingernan.

THE SUMMER (XMPLAINT. The symptoms tend to the picnic forth—indeed we have had several pronounced cases, and others are breaking out. Few readers of The Mail but know what a picnic is. Few Joliet Sun says it is a lot of people with piespiration streaming down their laces, and a nam ber of ham sandwiches. There are sev eral kind of picnics—Sunday .school picnics, social picnics, and society picnics. But the little black bugs get into ail the pies and milk jast the same. These little black bugs, found only In picnic groves, are no respecters of per sons, agej color, or previous condition of servitude. People always wear summer pants and muslin dresses to picnics. The man who has never attended a picnic dressed iu white duck pants, and who has never while there, seated himself on a lemon cream pie, has missed mu of life that it is intended we shall enjoy Picnics cure headiches, rheumatism dyspepsia, and sometimes love. Peri cles, a Roman statesman, orator, and humanitarian, was quite fond of picnics and it is reported of the good old man whose bones have long since turned to dust, and the whispering draughts through the tomb have wafted away the same—tbat he found his wife or the lady who afterwards became his wife, while at a picnic she screamed, and he hasten ed to her assistance and found the cause of htr terror to have been a c&terpiller in her tea-cup. Since that day, hundreds of years ago, ladies have been seated under trees at picnic* putting caterpillars iu their tea-cups and screaming for help.- However, the Pericles are all dead, and hence, to all intent and purposes, the screams of maidens at picnics are in vain. The first thing is to get dinner, an 4'the next thing is to take a walk, and you cannot remember in your life of ever having seen moro than two people walk together at a picnic. We don't know why this is so, we only know it is so. Picnics have been the cause of more soiled blue ribbon, love aud sorrow than anything else in this world. Picnics are popular because they are cheap." Let us have picnics let us go into tho deep, cool woods and study nature and taste the nectar of maiden lips and let us all be timid screaming maidens with caterpillars in our tea and brave Pericles. Let us do so at once.

THE trial of attorney Thos. E. Knox on charge of forgery, occupied the attention of the Criminal Court, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week The alleged crime was in his insorting the name of kis wifo in a deed of property received from Richard Strout, with a view of deffauding his creditors. IJe claims that Mr. Strout gave his eonsent. This Mr. S. denies. The evidence tended to show that from repeated conversations Mr. Knox was at least impressed that Mr. S. had no objections to the change being made. In fact the concluding words of the hitter's testimony was that Mr. Knox plight reasonably have supposed from what had been said tbat he bad lib consent to the alteration ef the deed." The jury after retiring eight minutes returned a yerdict of acquittal.

Mr. Knox has brought suit against Rovse, Grimes ifc Royse, Richard Strout and Conrad Ashermun for $10,000 dam ages for malicious prosecution. The defendants announce their readiness for immediate trial.

TfrR concert at the Cougregatipnal Church Tuesday evoning was probably the most artistic home musical entertainment ever given in this city, and reflected much credit upon Prof. Shid'e, the director. Tho opening overture, '•Poet and Peasant," with orchestra, piano and organ was a remarkably fine piece of concerted music, and the chorus exhibited admirable drill. We do not care to sling adjectivos at Miss L. Allen, Miss K. Stone, Mrs. Shido and Messrs. Alder, Kloer aud,Lorey. It is sufficient to say that everything they gave was enthusiastically encored. Prof. Breinig's violin solo was more of a duet with Prof. Shido at piano, aud was well done A double quartette "First day of spring' cloved th© programme which, if we have any criticism to make and it is the only one we can make—was rather too classical—too good—in made, as well as in literature, there is euch a thing as too much of a good thing.

THK Eark-Anderson oombination went went over to Brazil Saturday evening to play "Lucille" and "Solon Shingle." The curtain rolied up and showed what aeemed to the actors on the stage, a splendid audience, but the doorkeeper had been industriously passing in sixteen members of the Brazil Bond, who ss they played Tor passes, understood that it included all their families. There are throe newspapers in Uracil, each with one to three editors, a half dozen printers, and sundry devils," and they were all passed." These constituted the audience. Of the performance it may be guessed by tho following from4iho Brazil Enterprise:
