The business men of Remington are not rushed with trade at present, a consequence of the almost impassible condition of the roads. Several of the young men of this vicinity have emigrated westward, hoping to find a more genial climate, and meet with better success than they did on the soil of Jasper, butjudging by the past, their absence will probably De brief. This part of Jasper experienced quite a hurricane, Thursday evening the 4th inst., which resulted in considerable damage. John Jordan, a citizen of R., was unfortunate enough to have a fine barn leveled, a horse killed, and buggy damaged The country schools in this part of the country have all closed but one, thereby liberating teachers and pupilsw We think the schools i. 1 general have been a success, but by earnest work on the part of teachers and pupils there can be still more improvement.

The temperance organization of Remington gave an entertainment Saturday evening, 6th inst., the proceeds of which were devoted to defraying the expenses of the organization. A goodly number was present and the exercises were quite entertaining.

The fanners of this vicinity are making preparations for spring work, hoping for a favorable season that they may free themselves from debt. Tie Tubs.
