THE CONTINENTAL RAILWAY.

Fmi Brews from the Great Prelect—Met m Chimerical as Haajr Suppose. The Continental Railway project—in whisk Akron, m one of the points on the propose* Rne, w vety much interested—thonfh having apparently slumbered for eetne time, is by no mesne deed, as recent odvicea from Washington conclusively show. A dispatch in yesterday's New York Tri. bwu, says: The Noose Committee oa Railways sad Canals bare prepared a substitute for the bill providing for a double-track freight railway from New York to St. Louis, and Council Bluffs. It requires the eomp*ay to complete its road in three yean, and carry freight at five mills per ton per mile for 750 miles and over, and at a shade higher prices for shorter distances; appoints n Government Commission to supervise expenditures ia the construction and operation of the road, requiring it to reduce the rates whatever the net earnings exceed eight per cent, per annum upon the actual outlay of capital, and to prevent combine, tiena from perverting the objects of the bill. Hie Commission ia required to cast a vote at all stockholders’ meetings equal to the total shares represented. The Company is to mortgage its property, new valued at $8,000,000, to the Government, with all that it may hereafter acquire, and to pay all interest as it matures and also the principal by means of a sinking fond, a default of which works a foreclosure of the mortgage, the property reverting to the Government, which is to guarantee interest at five per cent, on the bonds of the Company at the rate of $20,000 per mile of the contemplated road to be issued to the Company as each 20 miles is completed. The value of the Company’s property, consisting of the equivalent of 223 miles of single track, grading, and bridging ready for the iron, with rights es way, terminal, and ether franchises purchased, is stated at $3,0(4),000, a sum equal to the interest upon the entire issue of bonds to be guaranteed for a single year, and will accumulate a* the road is completed in double proportion of the value of the ftce of the bond to be issued, giving the Government, it is claimed by the projectors of the road, perfect security from the start, which will increase in the same proportion as the construction progresses. It is further claimed that while giving ebeap transportation, it will only require the loan of the Government credit, as It is said the calculation of railroad experts confirm the ability of such a road to carry •t the prices named in the bill.— Akron {Ohio) Beacon.

The Legislature convened yesterday. ' F»r k Seal Caps at Leopold’s at Cost. Business Is lively and clerks are rampant. Mr. Joseph Robinson will please accept thanks for an Akron (CMiio) paper. flo to Leopold’s and get oneof those Overcoats at Cost Price before they are all sold. Mr. W. W. Owens, of Remington, favored ns with a eail last Saturday. Call at Leopold’s and see those flneShawls aad Skirts, at t for 20 days. If a man’s heart is in the right place it makes no difference how he parts his hair. Call on Leopold for Comforters. Will be sold at Cost for the next 20 days. “Coming events cast their shadows before.” Apply it yourself. A large stock of Cassimere will be sold at Leopold’s inside of 20 days at Cost. The Remington Record is only about three months old, and a lively youth it is, too. Good heavy Woolen Hoee at Leopold’s, at Cost for 20 days. “California lhm” is the latest for the Benten county beast. Winter stock of Flannel at Leopold’s at Cost for Cash for the next 20 days. Oysters are almost as plenty in Rensselaer as grasshoppers in Kansas. Leopold will positively sell his stock of Gloves and Mittens at Cost for Cash durthe next 20 days. The darkest day in life is when you start to get a dollar a shorter way than by earning it. Goto Leopold’s, take your money, and he will sell you Ladies’ Skirts and Waists at Cost, The saloon keepers in G ree*castle talk of giving a chrome as a premium for each drink sold. Remember there is a fine and complete stock of Velveteens at Leopold’s, for sale at Cost Prices for 20 days. Chewing-gnm left in exposed situations, la this weather, becomes too solidified for mastication. Bear this in mind, girls. Potatoes retail at $1.60 per bushel; and Gw market is not flooded with them at that price. A lazy chap marked his handkerchiefs by potting "Smith 1 ’ on one and “ditto” on the rest. Paring the year 1874, marriage licenses mure iwmed by H, L, Spitler, clerk of Jasper grwiy.to 182 Individuals. A paper can for kerosene oil, which is claimed to be as strong as tin and much sh caper, is among the latest inventions. Maanncp.—By Rev. R. L. Adams, on the 24th day of December, 1874, Mr. Jasper Gay to Mile Emm* V. Hartman,

Now comes A. LEOPOLD and deposes as follows: Having entered upon my New Business on the 4th day of December, and having had such an Extensive run of Trade , *1 feel under obligations to MY MANY PATRONS to sell the balance of MY WINTER GOODS at Greater Bargains, in fact, at Cast Prices tor the next TWENTY DATS. They consist of OVERCOATS, HEAVY CASSIMERE SUITS, FUR AND SEAL CAPS, GLOVES, MITTENS, COMFORTERS, Ac. Ac. Ac. &c. Ac. In the Dry Goods Department, I will sell the following articles at C©fit Prices, not even Adding the Freights : LADIES’ FURS—ALL KINDS, LADIES’ BHAWLS, SKIRTS, WAISTS, WOOLEN HOSE, FLANNELS, VELVETEENS, and a great many other articles necessary at this time of year. This is a feet, and everybody is invited to Call and Examine for themselves. — I will make such Pales as these at the end of every Season, thus enabling me to always have a NEW AND WELLSELECTED STOCK OF GOODS at my Store. Thanking my Patrons for the very large share of Patronage bestowed upon me since I commenced in this Enterprise, I will Promise them and the Public in general that I will endeavor to make my Business House one of the BEST-REG-ULATED IN THE COUNTY, and will sefl on an ENTIRE CASH BASIS, thus enabling me to Share the Profits with my Patrons instead of a lot of Partners.

The greater part of this week we have been in the midst of real winter, and the snow covered the earth in a mantle of white. ** - The Methodist Episcopal and Presbyterian mite society met at the residence of Mr. S. P. Howard, last Tuesday evening. Married. —By Rev. R. L. Adams, on the 31st day of December, 1874, Mr. John R. Wilson to Miss Ella Smith. The ice men are putting up their ice this week. Mr. C. C. Starr has put up about ninety tons, which no donbt will materially aid us in keeping cool next summer. f The Detroit Free Press tells us that Wisconsin wont let clergymen kiss the bride any more and fees have jumped from fifty cents to five dollars. The plasterers on Harding & Willey’s new brick building finished their part of the work yesterday. The carpenters are "now at work putting on the finishing touch.

Rev. E A. Andrews, Pastor of Methodist Church in Remington, will preach at the M. E. Church in this place, tomorrow, at 10; 80 a. m. Rensselaer, the hub of the West, and Indianapolis, Lafayette, Logansport, South Bend, Chicago, Kankakee City, and Remington, the spokes. A pretty good wheel. Last Tuesday was a pretty cold day. Rev* Mr. Miller while crossing the.prairie between here and his residence, on the day mentioned, had both of his ears badly frost-bitten.

Quarterly meeting will be held at the M. E. Church, in this place, on the 9th and 10th instant. Presiding Eider, J. L. Smith, will be present . The lecture delivered at the Court nouse last Saturday evening, by Prof. Emery was truly a scientific one, one that common minds can scarcely comprehend. An advertisement in an exchange says: “a good boy’s suit for $5.” It don’t go on to say how much a bad hoy’s suit would come to. In Porter county they charge from $25 to SSO for a plain drunk and disturbing the peace, and the consequence is none but the upper ten can afford such a luxury. What small boy docs not envy the portly man who enters church, takes out a big handkerchief, and deliberately blows his nose three times before sitting down ? The postal card factory has sent out about 20,000,000 cards during the last quarter, and about 5,000,000 are in store. The presses are said to be running until midnight. The Detroit Free Press thinks that “if the Pilgrim Fathers had landed at Galveston and paid $3 apiece for breakfast at a hotel, none of us fellows would ever have heard of them again.” Mr. C. W. Clifton is the sole agent in Jasper and Newton counties for the wellknown and Celebrated Weed Sewing Machine, which will sew anything from sole leather down to lace. A man inquired for “coffin varnish” the other day. One of the questioned replied: “That’s to thin! We boldly call for whisky in this town, and there is no one to make us afraid.

Our partner never tires praising the good grub at the Austin House, Rensselaer, since his visit there Christmas. And it is a settled fact that the above house is one of the best in Northern Indiana.— Remington Record.

Alfred Thompson, William Beck, David James, I. R. Lewis and David T. Blue gladdened the heart of the printer by the presentation of $1.50 each for the RgrunLICAIT.

E. F. Maxwell is the teacher of the school in district number three, Newton township. In his report for month ending December 11th, we find the following: Number enrolled, 33; average daily attendance, 263 > number of cases cf tardiness, 2; minutes lost by tardiness, 60; number neither, absent nor tardy, 12.

The world is a looking glass, and gives face. Frown at it and it will turn mad look sowr|y at yon; laugh at it ami with it, and it is jolly, kind companion. The Jasper County Sunday School Union Institute will convene in the M. E. Church at Remington, next Tuesday. The exercises will commence at 10; 80 a, m. A full attendance is earnestly requested, and a profitable and enjoyable seaakm anticipated. In our last inrae We neglected to speak of the reunion held at Mirs. Howard’s on New Year's eve. The company consisted es about ten persons; ail apparently enjoyed themselves “hugely,” which proves that Mrs. Howard knows how to entertain company. Mr. Samp. Irwin’s blacksmith shop is adorned with a bell, which rings at 7a. m., tells us when dinner-time comes, when to commence work in the afternoon, and when to cease ftom our weary labors In the evening. In short, it is a very intelligent bell. We are under the necessity of acknowledging a call from “Zeno,’’ John Shaw’s Newfoundland dog. —Remington Record. Yes, and before taking liberties with that dog, “observe his tail, and wait for the wag-on.” - An offended individual called at the office of the Minersville Republican to get satisfaction—and got it. The editor, according to his own statement, took the irate gent by “by the nape of the neck and kicaed him across the pavement into the gutter.” Terms $2 v year.

The clergy are so often sneered at for interpreting a higher salary for a divine call, that it is no more than fair to quote the statement of » Penn, paper that “a Lewiston, Miffin county, clergyman left a $2,800 salary inAhe city for a SI,OOO salary, just because he wanted to go where he could do the most good.” At the Odd Fellows Installation of Officers held in the Court House, last Tuesday evening, the following named gentlemen were duly installed in the different offices : Nathaniel W. Reeve, Noble Grand; Abraham Leopold, Vico Grand; Ira W. Yeoman, Recording and Permanent Secretary; Garret W. Terhune, Treasurer. Remember the inducements offered to persons desiring Winter Goods, at Leopold’s. Cash at Cost for 20 days. It is astonishing how his goods are selling. He sells mare goods in one month than others do in two. Evidently the people know where to go to get bargains, and Mr. Leopold appreciates the good of a free use of printer’s ink.

The Freewill Baptist quarterly meeting will be held in the Presbyterian Church, commencing Friday evening, Jan. 8, 1875, and is to be continued over Sabbath. Services Saturday at 10; 30 a. m., 2; 30 p, m. and in the evening at 6; 30; also, Sabbath morning and evening. Rev. S. E. Rogers, Pastor. See that your lamps are sound and filled only by daylight, Fever fill or permit a coal oil lamp to be filled by artificial light. Suppose you have “done it for ten years and never had an accident!’’ The very next time you do it you may lose your life by it. Hundreds have died horrible deaths, and millions of dollars in properly have been lost by it. “Christianity, if it means anything, means sixteen ounces to the pound, three feet to the yard, a just weight and just measure. It means honesty in all dealings, purity in all conversation, a charity as broad as the race, unflinching integrity, sympathy, humanity to man. With these there can be no compromise.” The Indianapolis Herald: Hargett, the oldest printer in the world, is now on his forty-seventh circumnavigation of the globe, and is temporarily jerking small pica for the Rockville Rejmbliean. Mr. nargett has walked 694,000 miles, and slept in every hay mow from Maine to Georgia. He has been badly jimjammed fifteen times and is still vigorous.

Married. —At the Jasper County Clerk’s office in Rensselaer, January 6th, 1875, at 3 o’clock p. m., Mr. Robert Shigleyof White county, to Miss Elizabeth Eldridge; of Gillam township, Jasper county, Justice Jackson officiating. The happy couple received the congratulations of a portion of the county officers and others with becoming dignity after which they departed for home. We wish them a long and happy life. No cards, no cake.

By pernsing the article at the head of the first column, on this page, it will be observed that the prospects for the Continental Bailway have not entirely faded. Should Rensselaer he so fortunate as to secure two lines of railroad, she will undoubtedly attain the proportions as a flourishing city in a short time thereafter. Taking in consideration the productiveness of the soil around Rensselaer every sane person will concede the foregoing to be an uncontroversory fact.

A certain hostess, whose table is noted for its uniformity of dishes, has a brisk daughter who electrifies her ma’s boarders with the following parody, sung to an accompaniment on the piano: "While beefsteak and venison costs lots of cash, bo it ever so grisly, there’s nothing like hash; the scrapings and leavings, of no use t-lswhere, when mixed all together makes exc-llent faro. Hush, hash, that hash! Bo it ever so grisly, there’s nothing like hash!”

The Inter Ocean of last Saturday contains over a column and a half concerning the Benton c-onnty “lioness” and the grand circle hunt for said animal on last Friday. The animal, however, was not found during that day, a party of hnnters having gone over the gronnd early in the morning and frightened the "lioness” off. The Inter Ocean reporter says all coincide ns to its marvelous achievements; none dissent from the statement that it is about three feet high, and six or seven long; has a cat-like head, with eyes far apart and vicious; a ti-ger-shaped nose, wearing thick hair like 4 mane around the head and neck, with a body whese chief strength rests in the forequarters; has a bushy or tolled tail, ind is covered with a yßlemish coating of for that very much resembles that of an ordinary lion.
