The Narrow Gauge.

President Lee, of the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago Railroad, was in the city on Sunday, and reports progress on the survey. The engineers have completed their task on ths line between Bradford and Monticello, and have started over the route between the latter point and this city. Mr. Lee is now in Chicago completing the contracts for the building of the bridge at Pittsburg and Monticello, and arranging for the extension of the line from Dyer to Chicago. The first of July is approaching, and the management will need io push things to finish the line to this city by that date.— Delphi Times.

Although the audience of last Saturday evening made no great demonstration, yet the entertainment given by the Rensselaer dramatic troupe, for the bentfit of our cemetery, was thoroughly appreciated, and intensely enjoyed by our citizens. The play was a good one and well performed. Where all the actors played so well it is hard to discriminate; but we cannot forbear making special mention of Mr. John Boroughs as Michael Erie, and Miss Fix Thompson as Mary Woodward. Their acting came as near perfection as the surroundings and conveniences of the stage would admit. To the troupe Remington owes a debt of gratituie, which should opportunity ever offer, we hope, and are confident, will be cheerfully paid. If they will come again on their own account, they will receive good patronage.— Remington Times.
