the Occasion of the Row.

Louisville Courier-Journal. Last week, at a negro gathering in Henderson county, three men undone woman were sliced up with razors and one man shot in the leg and arm. A gentleman with an African brogue explained to the reporter that ‘Sp, colored lady from Hopkinsville war de kashun ob all datrow.” On the 25th of October Gineral Judson Kilpatrick told a. correspondent that General McClellan would certainly be defeated, because a secret organization of working-men had resolved to vote against him. It must have betn a very secret organization, indeed. The Ginoral appears to be a prophet as well as a soldier with )ut honor in his own country. On the fly-leaf of an old singing Hook among the relies old Christ Church, at Boston, is written: “Major Pitcairn’s compliments to the headsinger. with a request that she will not sing quite so loudly, as it is impossible for him to sleep-” This was the British officer whoiigured against the Ame-ican yeomanry at Concord ami Lexington. Temperance Meeting at Presbytenap Church next Monday evening. - See programme on next page.

The work is progr.ssing finely on the Railroad. We understand tracklaying commenced on the 20th, on the first division from Bradford to Rensselaer. Some ten car loads of iron have already arrived. We hope the friends of the RR. will do their duty in Newton township next Monday, the 26th, and vote the tax by a large majority. We are informed a report is being circulated to the effect that if the tax is voted it will be collected immediately. Such is not the fact. The first installment—and that only one per cent. —cannot be collected before April 10th, 1879. The people will, therefore, have the use of the road I efore the tax is to pay.

I take great pleasure in informing the citizens of Rensselaer and vicin ity that I have rented the room over Kannal’s Drug Store, and intend doing’ all kinds of work pertaining to Photography. Enlarging pictures a specialty. Pictures in Crayon, India Ink and Watt r Color. If you have the picture of a departed friend, which you esteem j s a cherished keepsake, and wish it enlarged or colored, do not entrust it to a traveling agent until you see our work. Remember! we can do the work for less than parties who employ agents at large salaries. Besides, by having your work done at home there is no danger of your pic ture getting lost or damaged, which is often the case when sent away. So bring along your pictures, no matter if they are faded, scratched or broken, and we promise you a good, bright picture in return. As we are doing coloring and India Ink work for artists in large places, we feel confident we can please all, and respectfully solicit your patronage in this line of

work.
