Rensselaer has had its ardor dampened considerably so far as basket ball is concerned. Miss Shields, a member of the team, ran against the wall of the gymnasium with such force as to break her arm above the wrist. The mishap to Miss Shields will have a tendency to break up the game at that place. Basket ball for girls, is as bad as foot ball for men, it seems.—Hammond News.

Samuel P. Hunter, formerly employed by John F. Judy and well known in this section, who was recently convicted of stealing the Goddard livery stable at Clark’s Hill, Tippecanoe county, was sentenced Wednesday to the penitentiary at Michigan City for an indeterminate term of from one to fourteen years. His attorneys have tiled notice of an appeal to the supreme court. George Steolo of near Rose Lawn, was arrested by constable Vick and brought hero Wednesday charged with the larceny of a £-0 <1 isk harrow belonging to Amos Loughry, of near Laura, in the Gifford district. He gave bond for Ids appearance for trial yesterday at 10 a. m. before Squire Irwin. Quite a number of witnesses had been summoned and the trial promised to consume considerable time. The work of putting in the Mnkcmself sewer has been progressing this week again and about 050 feet is now laid. The contractors begun at a point north of Dr. Washburn’s residence nnd are now at Vanllensselaer street. Mr. Smith informs us that if the weather is favorable he will begin at tho river Monday and connect up with that already laid next week. All of this is 24 inch sewer, and tho work progresses quite rapidly with good weather. Tho slo.v work will begin when they strike the rock and have to excavate, further east. V, ith two-tlnnis of tho month gone, March has heen very tame tho* far. During the past week much of the time the mercury has been up in the 70’s nnd g r uf? ami nil kinds of vegetation have seeured a good start. The lays have been most pleasant and nearly everybody bus made a good share of their garden and planted some potatoes. In the southern part of the county and about Goodland and Kentland, many of tho farmers havo begun sewing oats. Yesterday morning a nice warm rain fell and tho f'rnss is ns greon as usual in the atter part of April. The weather buroau’s predictions wore “rain and much colder’’ yesterday, nnd for to-day, “fair and colder; fresh to brisk northwest winds.” Should it come freezing weather again, it is thought the fruit crop in this section will bo ruined.
