A-number of out-of-town trap shooters are present, including Charles Peck, of Remington. There was quite a little frost last night. It was not confined to the low places but seems to have been everywhere. Crops generally were prepared for it arid no damage, unless it be to late potatoes, will result. Tim Comer left yesterday for a visit at several points,’ including Wheatfield, Medaryville, Delphi and Logansport. At the latter place he will attend the reunion of the 9tlt Indiana regiment, to which he belonged. It will'beheld Oct. 3rd, that being the anniversary of the first fight the regiment had after the three years’ enlistment. It, occurred at Greenbrier, Va. C. M. Stanley, the Forest street watchman, now has a watchman’s shack, the one having been moved from Main street when the elevated watch shack was built. All he needs now is a few joints of stovepipe to complete his happiness. The stove is there and a supply of coal ready to fife up whenever the stovepipe arrives.

Meager reports have reached Rensselaer of the marriage of James George, of Chicago, and his cousin, Miss Maida Teagarden, of San Antonio, Texas, but The Republican has been unable to get into communication with members of' the family to get the details of the affair, which appears to have been in the shape of an elopement.

He went out with Herman Churchill two weeks ago and stopped at Bethany, Mo., then going to Oakwood, Okla., near which place his brother, Jesse Cover, lives on a farm.
