An honest reputation is within the
reach of all men; they obtain it by
social virtues and by doing their duty.
This kind of reputation, it is true, is
neither brilliant nor startling, but it is
often the most useful for happiness.

TREATMENT OF TYPHOID FEVER
DIR. George johnson, in the London
Practitioner, takes the ground that in
the treatment of typhoid fever careful
nursing and feed are of primary impor-
lance, while. as a rule, no medicines Of
any kind required, they are often worse
than useless. Diarrhea is a less fre~
quent symptom than before this plan
was adopted, and when it does occur it
is far more tractable, while tympanitic
distension of the abdomen is a rare
event.

Exciting Fox Chase.

| Al LOCKER On gives W an account Of an ami
mating Fox Chase that recently took piece IN
the town of Serena. Mr.. 4. D. llayenhill, Of Big
Grove, Kendall county, had procured two Senu-
inc red foxes at Lockport, in this state, and tele
.,raphed TO II X. Parr, Of Serena, that he would
! be there with them on the 10th inst. 10 lave
chase, and that Parr should have all The hunters
with their hounds on hand. The hunters, you
may rely, were duly notified. and by 10 o'clock
on the morning Of the day named they we're on
hand in force. Luckily the night before about
All inch OF snow had fallen, which made ii all the
better
/ One was let loose early in the morning, to give
him A rood start. At 10 O'Clock the dogs were
let loose, 81 in number, and then there was mu-
sic. But previous 10 this il had been agreed to
have a bag race over the farm Of II. X. Parr, so
that the ladies' could see part of the fun. John
Hawks had been chosen 10 make the bag race,
as he had the fastest horse. The bag had been
kept some time in the box with the foxes, 80 that
it was strongly scented. The bag was dragged
some three or four miles around and back to the
i place where the fox was let loose and Of course,
when the barn door was thrown open, caused
! some fan among the dogs, but they couldn't be
! fooled long and soon scented the true game. IN
the lIrrv.scurry that followed it was apparent
that no one dog could be long ahead, Tor all
were running their best, and no hunter saw any
dogs ahead but his own, and the chase proceeded
in real " glory halclujah style" The fox ran up
to the spring-about mile-took drink ami
rooled himself in the snow, then shooh Himself
and started over the hills, looking back over his
shoulders rs much as TO say, Farewell, brother
hunters" and headed for Somonauk timber,
making all the cunning turns known only to
foxes. 1t was impossible to tell which dog was
foremost in the chase. Old Rcynard lasted about
an hour, and was taken 10y one Of the Dayton
. hunters Thus ended fox No. |.
As the hunters were returning, some Of the
young hounds not feeling satisfied, took after a
COW in the road aud run her some distance. The
COW seemed to belong to Dan Mason, iHd-.n"
, from the way he was excited about her.
The second fox wa. let loose few hours later
, and was given half an hours start. When the
hound, were let loose there were q persons on
horseback, ready to join The chase and Mason in
. his cutter, who dashed over plowcd ground

i. DRINK vs.. Gospel.

Yet there are good people IN Springfield.
As an evidence, we mention that the capital
city of our state boasts of thirteen churches
and one hundred and sevcnty.three saloons.
The saloons sell whisky at from fifteen to
twenty five cents a drink. The churches GA
~ tax their customers att from So to $500
each per year. so that the average between
gospel and whisky at Springfield runs about
even. You can patronize Il saloon-say once
each day, which, at fifteen cents per drink,
would run up TO S5f.75, or, if you paid a
quarter per ."go,' it would amount 10 $500,
You cant go to church every day, as you can
to the saloons-you are denied admission
ottener than once or twice week. III you
become regular customer yon must come
down" to the extent of on an average not less
than $500 As for us, we chose Liberty OF
DEATH and went to the galleries OF the legls-
laturc, the only place in the city where al.
mission is free. But the society was poor.

Finding that Springfield with its sharpcrs,
members OF the legislature, candidates for
office, bummers. senators and lobbyists was
no place for an honest, respectable citizen of
Ottawa, we settled our bill and escaped for

its intensity. The last day of 1868 and the first
dav of 1864 were the coolest ever experienced IN
this part Of the country. The storm at that time
commenced very much rs it did last Friday. The
wind changed to the northwest after it had been
showing few hours, and blew Violently, The
cold continued intense for two days, and the loss
of life by freezing was greater than ever before
or since. vast number Of cattle and other
stock persisted, and fowls, as well as birds OF the

in many wells and ci-t"rnS was frozen, ana lie"
