Snow IN JUNE.-The intense heat of last week
was followed on Saturday by "cold snap" as
remarkable as the heat Immediately preceding it
was intolerable. From Friday to Saturday eve
ming the thermometer in Ottawa sank at least so
degrees. On Sunday morning overcoats were
quite comfortable, and the sky gave indications
of rain. Several gentlemen who stood at the
corner of La Sale and Madison streets, between
and o'clock in the morning, have assured us
that for few minutes there was very slight
fall of snow, perfectly formed snow-fakes hav.
ing been repeatedly caught on the coat-sleeve.
Snow on the 2lst of June in this region is GER
tainly without parallel.

Change OF Firm, ,

We are sorry to learn that the health of our
friends and townsmen, Messrs. CLAPP & GLIB.
son, failed them so much that they have sold
out their eagle Agricultural Works. and are
proposing to leave for the salt water or some
other watering place Of the east. We regret
much TO lose them from amongst us as business
men, but are glad, since there must be change,
that the establishment has fallen into the hands
OF J. Z. PORTER, thereby retaining one Of our
most energetic and enterprising young business
men, who had got Chicago On the brain, and We
believe, like sthers of our citizens, had made
investments in Chicago mud, a. they call it. By
this transaction he will remain here and carry
on the manufacture of all kinds Of farming i'm.
plements, and, with the assistance Of his gentle
manly foreman, Mr.. Rodgers, who has been long
and favorably known with the works and to the
community. you may rely on it that the Eagle
Works will prosper right along, and still be
credit to our town as heretofore. If others Of
those that have the Chicago fever would invest
their spare money in manufactures in this city,
We think it would he as well for them and bet
ter for Ottawa. There is room, and the prosper.
ity of our place demands manufactures. They
would pay more than fancied ideas Of Chicago
property. There should be two more glass fac.
tories built here at once. They will pay good
dividend. We should also have paper mill or
two. Where are the parties that got charter
last session of the legislature? They should
build at once. The Marseilles factory is paving
20 per cent. on the investment. We understand
a good pail and tub factory would pay 80 per
cent. fax seed oil factory would pay, and one
or two furniture factories like Geo. H. Rugg 8
would make business for hundred or two hands,
and would yield large per cent. We should
have large vinegar factory, which, we'll con-
Quoted, would pay 40 per cent. Think Of vine
gar being worth, at least sold for 81 per gall.
on in all the southern states, and this has been
the regular price for years. Why not some more
of our grain men go into manufacturing and not
stick to the corn trade, and continually complain
that they make TO money Success to J. E. PoR.
TER is our earnest wish, and we take pleasure in
recommending him to the farming community, who
will ever find him gentlemen in all his bnsi-
ness transactions.

Scorr, HoUTz & Co.-There promises to be
quite large gathering of people from all parts
of the county at Ottawa on the 4th. We suggest
to such as come early enough to call at the new
store OF Scott, Houtz Il Co on La Sale street, q
few doors above Madison, get acquainted with
the proprietors and look at their goods. They
are business men in whom we take prde--whom
we want the whole county to get acquainted
with and give them their custom. They are the
sort OF business men We want to keep, and half
as big custom as they deserve will keep them.

Search OF . Name.
We have in our city the finest Hotel building
between Chicago and St. Louis, for which We
have principally to thank the enterprise and ener.
gy of Mr.. LESTER II. EAMEs The feeling Of the
stockholders to man and Of the people Of the
city is to name the building the Eames House,
and We think this ought to be done. But Mr.
Eames, We understand has refused to allow his
name to be used in this connection. The result
is that Mr.. Eamss has got child, and can't find
o name good enough for il.
We will probably be forced to 70 TO some

pretty name for the Hotel The smallest taverns
In the smallest towns rejoice in very suphonious
names, such as Metropolitan, Washington, Els

go begging for name. Some persons have
suggested the name of Tonti. But every one
says who the ID is Tonti? Tonti never kent
hotel he never kept dry goods store he
never kept saloon; he never was captain of
steamboat or canal boat; he never dug an arte.

was the unfortunate possessor of q not very

such name. La Sale, Joliet, Marquette, Shah
