Wiley Pierce was the first Remingtonian to try the narrow guage. He says they made the last six miles in going from Rensselaer to Bradford in eleven minutes. Hon. Geo. Major has purchased Jos. Crowden’s farm, one and a half miles south of Remington, and will take possession shortly. The farm contains 410 acres of very fine ’land, is one of the handsomest places in this vicinity. The buying of this farm was partly a necessity, but as it will be the means of preventing his departure for Texas for an indefinite perioc, we *re glad that it so happened. We have not yet learned where Mr Crowden intends going, but hope he will not leave this neighborhood, where he is highly and justly respected, to wander among strangers in a strange land. “Charley" invites Bro. James toengave in a thorough “seif-examination” and ascertain, if possible, his political status.
