The Republican. ■ T . , - ■ ■ ■ i RENSSELAER, Friday, Oct. 30,1874.

High winds. Pern is to have a little daily paper. Halloween next Saturday night. A Reynolds ’squire has a crazy eat. House repairing is going on in all quarters of the city. We can’t tell a lie. He did it with bis little scratch it. —Laporte Herald. Farmers are busy now husking their corn crop. 0, Jerusalem! wasn’t it cold to-mor-row 1 Jefferies is elected over Baxter by a majority of one on a re-counfc. The Remington grain merchants are paying fifty cents per bushel for corn. Mr William Daugherty and family talk of going to Missouri to spend the winter. The latest thing in Laporte is the location of a knitting factory in that city. Mr. McCoy drives a beautiful span of little ponies. J. Zimmerman has about completed a nice little residence in the north part of town. All who advertise do not get rich, but precious few get rich without it. Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth—you bet.— haporte Herald. Call on Burger & Butler and get a barrel of that salt. Nice and fresh. Another railroad engineer’s strike is talked of. Walnuts are brought to Rochester by the wagon load. Ladies’ and children’s hose, knit saques nubias, and various other woolen goods, at Mrs Halstead’s. Mr. Hendricks is called a ‘'war governor” since he suppressed the railroad hostilities in Porter county. Quite a refreshing shower fell in this part of Jasper on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Our Remington itemiser failed to ‘‘dish up” the usual “Bevelings” this week. What’s the matter? Are you out of old sock’s ? Dan Brown moves that the Republicans of Laporte oounty withdraw all their votes and make the thing unanimous. The President has issued his proclamation, setting apart Thursday, November 24th, as a day of National Thanksgiving. The Last Call. —Bring on your wood you who want the Republican for one year, and can’t spare the money. The world is sure to find an honest man ; but it will find him a great deal quicker if he advertises. The mother of John A. Logan died on the 26th instant, at Murfreysboro, Illinois. Hats of all styles and prices neckties, necklaces, ruches, collars and cuffs at Mrs. Halstead’s. Eighteen of the Republican counties furnished over half the votes cast for the Independent ticket in this State. The moon eclipse, last Saturday night, was a grand sight. At least, several persons have so expressed it. What is the use in talking of the happiness of this world or the world to come to a man who has tight boots. Please don’t forget to call and settle that little subscription, as soon as you “thrash your punkins, ” and get your “walnuts husked.” Four thousand tons of iron have been delivered at the Michigan City docks since the opening of navigation. So says the Enterprise. Mr. Statzell has sold his interest in the feather renovator to Mr. Calhoon. The feather business will be continaed under the firm name of Flynn & Calhoon. The Governor has ordrerod a new election to be held in Fulton county on the 17 th of November, the vote for Auditor being a tie. The Winamac Republican : “The wheat fields between this and Logansport looks well, as a general thing. Here (ind there is a poor one, but they are few.” At the present writing Jasper county can boast of four weekly newspapers. Two twenty-eight column papers and two fortyeight. ’Rah for Jasper I Donnelly & Teagarden, Photographers, Remington, Ind., give a chromo to any person patronizing their gallery to the amount of SI.OO. s A Chicags reporter has just won his spurs by an article headed. “Desperate Bloodshed—The Murdered Man not Expected to Live!” It seems hard to see an Indianapolis woman of sixty-five seeking a divorce because her husband would not let her wear a red dress to camp meeting. Sol Moritz, the cowardly murderer of Miss Florence Harding hoS gone to Cincinnati. The scorn of all decent men will eurely follow him. First-class board can he had at Mrs. Howard’s, at three and a half dollars per week. Persons desiring board will find it to their own interest to give her a trial. Central Clarion is the name of a new paper just started at Reynolds, White county. Dunham & DeForest are the editors. It is a five column folio sheet. Success to you, gentlemen.* In this issue will be found the remainder of the proceedings of the Jasper County Sunday School Convention, which will doubtless be of interest to many of the readers of the Republican. The Sunday School Concert held at Wolcott, last Sunday, was pretty well attended, and said to be a very pleasant affair. Tho Remington folks carried off the laurels for their splendid singing.

Early to bed and early to rise will be in vain if yon don’t advertise. Mr. Mark Vermette, of Onarga, UL, has just set up a barber shop in the office of the Kansas City Hotel J Two yearn ago the aggregate vote on the Secretary of State, in Indiana, was 377,410; this year it wa5365,744, a faH ing off of 11,666. The Cincinnati Enquirer says: “O’Howligan is the name of the editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel. He wants notoriety. Don’t forget the Urge O.” The names of McDonald, Niblack, Judge Worden, Sharklin, and Turpie, are spoken of as Democratic candidates for United States Senator. A motley crew indeed. If you want the best local paper, and the largest paper printed in Jasper county, (except the Remington Record, which is the same in size as the Republican,) try the Rebublican a year—only $1.60 in advance. The Terre Haute Express says the Lafayette people are going to have fun this winter. They have filled tho shoe track of one of the girls with water, and when it freezes they’ll have a skating rink. The Weed Sewing Machine is truly a family favorite, and is perfectly reliable It is far superiQr to any other machine made or known to the trade. C. W, Clifton is the Agent. Brigham Young’s health is still rapidly giving way. It is evident that his “race is nearly run.” “Weeds” will be plentiful about the Salt Lake when he shall have been called hence. The Cincinnati Enquirer is sparring with-several of the leading Democratic papers, among which are the New York World, Cleveland Plaindealer and the Indianapolis Sentinel. “A house divided against itself &c.” At Mrs. D. T. Halstead’s, ladies will find a large assortment of new and stylish dress and cloak trimmings, consisting of plain and beaded yak laces, guipuse latfes, ball fringe, bugle fringe, beaded gimp, matelasse cloth, turquoise, satins, silks, velvets. Ac., Two days’ meeting will be held at the Presbyterian Church, in Rensselaer, on the 14th and 15 th days of November.— Rev. R. L. Adams will be present to preach and administer the sacraments. G. W. Hascall, the milk man, the chorister of the M. E. Church, the Brass bandleader* the leader of the Remington glee club, the gardner, the painter, and the most scientific flute player of Northern Indiana, gave us a call one day last week. The Remington Recoid thinks the good people of Remington should congratulate themselves that Rob. Parker was not elected Treasurer of Jasper county, “as in that event Remington would have lost one of its best citizens.” On last Wednesday evening we spent a pleasant two hours at the residence of Mr. Babcock, our genial Auditor. Mr. Babcock and family are pleasant, sociable and courteous people, even if he was defeated at the late election. Mr. E. H. Watson, of Danville, Illinois, formerly of Remington, gave us a brief call Wednesday. He proposes to make his future home in Wabash county, this State, and his business that of keeping a restaurant and selling—must we say it —selling whishey. „ The Madison Courier records the following singular case: Mrs Nelson, of Hanover, went to bed night before last in her usual health, and got up yesterday morning so blind that she could not see daylight. She had never been blind before. Mrs. Nelson is now in the city under treatment. The Kokomo Tribune, speaking of the cost of litigation, says: “It lakes 4,000 bushels of corn to pay the expenses of finding out how much a small cow, killed by a railroad train, is worth. It takes 60,000 bushels of corn to find out whether a man is a murder or not.”

Rev. R. M. Brooke, the pastor of the M. E. Church at this place, is very low with an attack of the lung fever and pleurisy. Latbr.—Mr. Brooks died last night at 11 o’clock. This morning th© corpse was taken to Francesville, and from there to the Battle Ground for interment.

The Cincinnati Commercial, a LiberalDemocratic organ, says : “The Democrats have just about enough victory to spoil them and confirm the Republicans in power.” It also predicts that the new Democratic Congressmen will show themselves to be bummers of the first water, and grab every thing they can get. Very true. The first number of the Remington Record has been recivcd. It is to be published every Friday, by Kitt & Clarke, who are the editors and proprietors. If each succeeding number is as well filled and as nicely printed as the one before us, we are pretty cei tain it will receive a liberal support at the’hands of the Befflingto&ians. A young Remington gentleman took a young lady a buggy-riding last Sunday afternoon. He drove the spanking bays up to tbe gate, alighted, and, in the hurry and excitement of the moment, neglected to make the s. b’s fast. which resulted in a little runaway; but he succeeded in spoiling a first-class item by climbing over the back part of the vehicle and getting a hold of tbe reins while the horses wove i>n a full gallop. Bravo!

We are necessarily delayed twenty-four hours With the RkpUßLlcan, this week, by not having received the paper from Chicago until Friday evening. We hope this will be Hie last time our readers will be inconvenienced by a similar occurrence. The Rensselaer schools opened Monday of this week with an attendance of 47 in the Ist dept., 38 in the 2d, 46 in the 3d, and 52 in the 4th. There is no change in the text-books, at the present term. The time of forenoon session is from 8;30 to 11;30, and the afternoon session from 1 to 4.

A special to the Inter Ocean of Thursday, from Terre Haute, says Greencastle is burning. The following dispatch from the mayor of Greencastle to the chief of fire department, Terre Haute, states that the town is on fire, and for God’s sake to send them engines and as many as possible. Another from Indianapolis says: “Dispatch received from Greencastle at miduight stating that the town was on fire, with a high wind blowing, and asking assistance as soon as possible. Just as soon as a special train can be got ready two steamers Will staft to their aid.’

A REPRESENTATIVE AND CHAMPION OF AMERICAN ART TASTE / Prospectus for 1875 — Eighth Year. THE. ALDUtfH, THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA, Issued Monthly. “ v Magnificent Conception Wonderfully carted at.” The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of great artists, has always beeu recognized, and many attempts have been made to meet the want. The successive failure which so in-variably-followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the indifference of tho people of America to the elaims of high art. So soon as a proper appreciation of the waDt and an ability to meet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artistic ana commercial triumph —The Aldine. The Aldine, while issued with all the i egularity, has none of the temporary or timely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful literature ; and a collection"of pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill in black, and white.— Although each succeeding a umber affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real valua and beauty of The Ald'.ne will be most appreciated after it is bound up at the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheapness, as compared with rivals of a similar class, The Aidim is an unique and original conception—alone and unapproached—absolutely without competition in price or character. The possessor of a complete volumn can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper and engravings in any other shape or number of volumes for ten times its cost ; and there is the chromo, besides / The national feature of The Aldine must be taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopolitan. While The Aldine is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to cultivate a broad und appreciative aft taste, one thut Will discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus, while placing before the patrons of The Aldine, as a leading cbaiacteristic, the productions of the most noted American ardsts, attention will always be given to specimens from foreign masters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and instruction ob.ainable from Lome or foreign sources. The artistic illustration of American scenery, original with The Aldine, is an important feature, and its magnificent plates are of a size more appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details than can be afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figttfe, and animal subjects, sustain ah unabated interest, impossible where the w.rk confines the artist too closely to a single style of subjeet. The literature of The Aldino is a light and graceful accompaniment, worthy of the artistic features, With only such technical disquisitions as do not interfere with the popular in erest of the work. PREMIUM FOR 18TO. Fvery subscriber for 1875 will receive a beautiful portrait, in oil eolors, of the same noble dog whose picture jin a former issue attracted so much attention, “Man’s UNSeLfish Fbiend” will be welsome in every home. Everybody loves Buch a dog, and the portrait executed so true to the life, that it seems,the veritable presence of the animal itself. The Rev. T. beWitt Talmage tells that his own Newfoundland dog (the finest in Broonklyn) barks at it! Although so natural, no one who sees this premium chromo will have the slightest fear of being bitten, Besides the eromo, every advance subscriber to The Aldine for 1875 is constituted a member, and entitled to all the privileges of THE ALDINE ART UNION The Union owns the originals of all The Aldine pictures, which, with other paintings ana engravings, are to be distributed among the members. To every series of 5,000 subscribers, It 0 different pieces valued at over $2,500 are distributed as soon as ths series is full, and the awards of each series as made, are to be published in the next succeeding issue of The Aldine.
