Fresh oysters by the can, and direct from Baltimore, at Charley Starr’s. Circuit court convenes ia Rensselaer next Monday. The docket is light. The contented man is never poor, the discontented never rich. The Republican and Young America for $2 80 per year. Millinery goods astonishingly cheap at Mrs. Halstead’s. Wanted. —To rent a small house of two or three rooms. Inquire at this office, Rev. D. J. Huston preached Thanksgiving sermon in the Presbyterian Church, dayLadies, call at Mrs. Halstead's (one door west of the Pioneer Store) and examine the ready made cotton and merino underwear. Demorest’s Monthly Magaxine and the Republican with a magnificent chrome will be tent to one address, one year, for $3.85. Oh, my! the “beautiful snow!” commenced falling this morning about six o’clock. The boys have been enjoying a few “sketes,’’ this week, on the Iroquois, although the river at present is very low. “If you say that again I’ll let down my back hair and screaml” said a Rensselaer belle. He didn’t repeat it. If there is any one time more than another when a woman should be left entirely alone, it is when a full line of clothes comes down in the mud. She don’t swear any; oh, no. The Remington Guard failed to put in an appearance this week. Consequently, the “Remington Items” are not so plentiful as usual. Mr. Wiley Duvall and Miss Maggie Thompson were united in the holy bonds of matrimony last Sunday. May they both live to a ripe old age, and the light of their happiness never grow less. Removal. Mrs. D. T. Halstead has removed her millinery store to the room formerly occupied by J. I. Purcupile & Co. as a boot and shoe store. “See,” said Mattie, a sorrowing wife, “how peaceful thecat and dogs are.” “V'es,” said Jessie, the petulant husband, “butjust tie them together, and then see how the fur will fly.” See the advertisement of lands for sale, in another column, by M. L. Spitler. These lands are owned by the Indiana & Illinois Central Railway Company, and can be bought at reasonable rates. Call early and secure a good bargain. The Crawfordsville Journal says the entire line of the C. & S. A. R. R. has been let from Chicago to Bclphi, and the grade in places for miles has been completed and it is thought trains will run the entire route, 105 miles, in less than one year. A collegiate, enlightening a farmer upon animalculse, applied his microscope to the cheese, saying: “Now, look, and see. theni wiggle,’’ “Well,” said the farmer, cramming the cheese in his mouth, “1 can stand .it as long as they can.” The Republican and the Detroit Free Press will be sent to one address, one year, for three dollars. The Press is one of the liveliest of family newspapers, full of interesting news, literature, humorous sketches, spicy paragraphs, eto. We desire to call particular attention to the article in this paper headed “An Address.” It was handed in too lato for publication last week; but as it is concerning the C. & S. A. Railroad it may not be amiss to give it to our readers even at the eleventh hour. A little seven-year-old was reproved the other day for playing out doors with boys; she was too big for that now. But says Fannie with all imaginable innocence:— “Why, mamma, the bigger we grow the better we like ’em.” Mamma took time to think. To every person who will send us SI.BO in cash, we will send the Republican and the St. Louis Midland Farmer one year. The Farmer is a large eight page, forty column monthly, published by George W. Matthews & Co., 312 N Sixth street, St. Louis, Mo., at 50 cents per year. If a man is getting shaved in a barber’s shop, and a fly alights on bis nose, and he gives his head a twitcly to remove the fly, during which the barber removes a slice of the man’s ear, who is to blame—the man, or the barber, or the fly, or the ear, or the razor? We have received a letter from Charles M. Johnson, of Henderson, North Carolina, requesting a single copy of the Republican sent to his address, and that probably he may become a regular subscriber. We cheerfully comply with his request, and will mail him the paper regularly for one year free of charge. That’s what is in a name.
