Remington Items.

Proß*cuting Attorney Bibcock ‘•tirr«d up the tigers in Rrruingtou this week, but save a feroeious growl or two it was barren of results. From all Inclinations tne rabbit erop of next year will be rather short. Betide* being the principal article of diet for many people, the fun furnished to boys in hunting them is equal to a horse race. Thn snow interferes materially with their locomotl'u. The grain house* at Remington are full and no oar* to be had. In eon eequenoa the grain butitioas is not very lively. The young people from Remington

DIED, of Diptfieria, Dec. 14. 1878, Ida May Culp, aged 15 years, and Dec. 18, 1878, .Clara Etta Culp, aged 11 years, daughters of JohnG. and Mary Culp, resij elite of Barkley towuship, Jasper county, Indiana. No pains were spared ior their comfort und lelief, yet the suffering was most intense and the disease baffled all mad' teal skill. This disease has been raging in that neighborhood since the lattsr part of October, and because of it the school has been vacated. Many friends sympathize with the bereaved family, and the school has lost two pupils who were obedient and promising, aud dearly beloved by their teachers.

Kankakee Township, Dec. 23, 1878. Ed it or Rensselaer Sentinel: If Kankakee is in the “fur her cornel” of the county, and oue half the territory is marsh and the other half sand ridge, yot she is by' no means behind otbei sections in many respects, as was shown Saturday tright in an entertainment given by the South Grade School. Rarely' do we in a district school find such advancement in elocution and composition as was shown in this entertainment. We would do Mr. Pierce injustice did we not state that it was principally owing to his efforts that our citizens were favored with such a rare treat as this exhibition proved to be. Tb av aid taking the r upils’ minds from their studies, they were allowed but one week to prepare It was a common remark among the audience, “How could they acoomp lish so much in so short a time?”— The secret is this: Mr Pierce makes elocution and composition a part of the regular school work. Now we think if these subjects received proper intention in our schools, such treats as our people received Mat urduy night would come oftener, and the school work vvou.d be more perfect. L. A. J. E. R. Pierce, Teacher of South Grade School, Kankakee township, makes the following report for the month ending Dec. 20th: Number $f pupils enrolled, 40. Average daily attendance, 30-65. The following pupils were perfect in at- : tendance: Emory Jones, Homer Jones, ! Grant Rockwell, May Jones, Trent Jones, Nellie Bentley', Rose Joues, Fannie Bentley, Johnnie Cooper and | Robert Mannnn. Trent Junes, Isaac B. .Tones, Rose | Jones. Robert Mannan, Emory Jones, ! John Jones, Joe Cooper, Amos Cadwalader arid W S. Bentley were per- | feet in recitation. | Emma Jones, Nancy Cooper, Mary | Cooper, Amos Cadwaladsr, Jno. Jones, , and Lydia Lavender were marked i ‘perfect in conduct.’ | The Firth Reader Grade achieved ! the following average in the sight i branches: Reading, 71; writing, 77; | spelling, 81; geography, 83; arithme- ! tic, 81 ; grammar, 75; history, 85; phy- | stology, 71. I There were eleven members of the ! Fifth Reader Grade in most of the | above eight branches.

H. B. Murray teacher of Barkley township school No. 4, report s for the month ending December 13th: En 101 l merit IS, average attendance 9.5. Eugene Ball, Ida Coons, Rosa Coons Eva Coons aud Ida Buil missed uo time. Two eases of tardiness during the month. New York Post. 21st; To-day is,dn the language of the almanacs, the shortest day of the year, the sun rising at 7:21 in the morning and setting at at 4:36 in the afternoon, giving us only niue hours and fifteen minutes of daylight. Iu fact, however, however, this day is uo shortei than several of its successors will be, for while the sun will set later after to-day it will also continue to rise later until the middle of the first week in January, the gam in the evening being offset by the loss in the morning. By the lat of February the day will lengthen to ten hours and eight minutes, aud the change will then be notieeable.— It is an old saying that “ when the days begin to lengthen .the cold begins to strengthen,” and it certainly loukßto iayas if winter had set in in earnest, there being every prosoeot that we shall have cur share of the snow that has recently been so abundant in the west. Our first snow last year came on the 9th of December, out it soon turned to rain.
