AS SEEN BY A GROUCH.

Rensselaer pulled off a big day Tuesday/ thanks to the county commissioners, who donated SSOO or better for stunts, and $1,200 for silver rings, and the city council, which appropriated another SSOO, and the business men, who were assessed $lO apiece. There is no good reason that we can see, why they should not have been able to pull off a real big time with all that capital to raw. A balloon ascension was the main feature of the day, and a prize fight the principal attraction of the night. There was also a football game that drew a large crowd, and a few other stunts. The commissioners out the silver rings and the day was voted “one grand success. — Remington Press.
