Mr. Schenck, wife and little son, who have spent some time in this place visiting the Misses Smith, took their departure on Sunday for Dayton, Ohio. A Sunday School Pic-Nic will l-e held at Yeoman’s grove, near the Price bridge, in Newton township, on the 25th inst. Everybody is invited to attend. County Clerk Price issued a marriage license on the 10th inst. to Geo. W. Ott and Julia C. Payne. They were married on the 12th inst. by Rev. G. D. Shapley. There is on exhibition at the Drug Store of Willis J. Imes a fine display of stuffed birds. Lewis A. Alter, of Carpenter township, did the stuffing, and did it well, The Sheriff of this county has in his hands not more than forty executions; the Sheriff of Newton county carries upwards of 150, and the Sherof White twice that number. This speaks well for the people of Jasper. Capt. Frank W Babcock and wife returned from Howard county on Saturday last, where they had been visiting friends for the past two weeks. We are pleased to note that Mrs. Babcock’s health is much improved. A.Williams, of Kentland, stopped in Rensselaer, last Sunday night. He was returning from Porter county, where had been in pursuit of a horse thief. He found neither the horse or thief.

Lemuel C. Janes surrendered the County Treasurer’s office on Monday, all * correct, receiving quietus. On Tuesday he started for his farm in Kankakee township, and will there make his future home. Dr. Samuel W. Ritchey will deliver an address on the subject of Wheat Culture, at the grounds of the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association, on the third day of the Fair, Thursday, September 20th, 1877, at 114 o’clock. On Monday morning, at Remington, two brothers named Hoss, noted desperadoes from Benton county, boarded the morning train for Goodland, declaring their determination to pay no fare. In the “muss” that ensued lire arms were freely used, and the “Hosses” were badly used up. Verdict—served them right. Jacob Eiglesbach, The Butcher, would respectfully call upon those of his patrons whom he has favored with credit, to make immediate payment of their accountsHe must have money to keep the shop supplied with stock. Call without delay and make settlement, without further dunning.

Our merchants are paying but 25 cents per bushel for potatoes, and if any farmer is fooled by the Union’s quotation at 40, he must attibute it to its “fancy flights” and give it credit for good intentions. You see, the Union is the eheapeast thing out -“onlyaquarter”—“try itfor three months!” Potatoes can’t be that cheap. We understand that Leopold and Fendig will have to knock under to the Union in their war on high prices.

Some person or persons unknown have employed idle moments in tea: - ing down posters for the Fair of the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association. Their being procured at “less than cost'of raw material” would be no good reason for perpetration of such a dastardly trick. Therefore some other motive must be assigned. Some thoughtless boys, for the fun they in it,“may have done the deed.

Prov den e, R. I. April 1874 Peter Lawson, Esq.—lt is within my knowledge that your “Curative” cured a decided case of Dyspepsia.

Yours truly, W. D. HILTON, Sup’t. P. & W. RR. W. J. Imes, Agent, Rensselaer. The Democratic State Convention of Maine met at Augusta, that State, on the 14th inst, and nominated exGov. Jos. H. Williams for Governor. The Convention was large, orderly and harmonious.
