James Fraser, a Remington blacksmith, is the father of a ten pound girl. The visitor came on Saturday last. Attention is directed to the advertisements of the Burdette Organ and tbe Domestic Sew. ing Machine, in another column. According to the report of the Auditor of State, the dog tax during eight years has produced a revenue of $1,871, 883.

A two-inch snow which fell on Saturday night and Sunday morning, made tbe sleigh bells jingle the most of the day Sunday. A terrible shaking up of the dry bones is expected in Rensselaer in a sho t time.— The time is approaching slowly but surely. A lady in Warsaw was born on New Years day, was 21 years old last New Yean, and gave birth to her first bom boy on that day. Ws are informed that Mr. J. Misner, of Remington, eo a tern plates removing with his family to the “Sucker’’ State, in tbe spring. . > ■ - Mr. Cbas.

Johnsons now playing the“devil” in the Republican Omcs—an animal which every well regalated printing office should contain, Bro.

The next Convention of the "Women’l ■Christian Temperance Union will be held on the 19th of next June, in the city of Indianapolis. One by one the roses fade. It is now boldly denied that men who wear long hair are possessed of hay more talent than men who have it snipped close. Keep it before the people that Mr. C. W. Clifton is the popular agent, for tbe counties of Newton and Jasper, of the best Sewing Machine made—The Weed. G. F. Sutton hss had his foot hurt by a tog foiling on it, at his mill over in Jasper ooanty, nod. consequently is new home on furlough till he is better. —Lowell Star Stoat**.— Four or five fine wool sheep from the Ihra of James Ritchey. Any person having any information of the sheep will please notify James Ritchst. Of course a woman dosen’t Want her plants to freexe, but still one can’t blame a man for raising a row When he hops out of bed in the morning and finds a geranium in each trouser’B leg. One of our regular visitors on bring informed that the right way to pronoance the Mine of the King of Hawaii, was “Ksa-lsa-kow-wah,” replied: “Call a cow what?” His informant subsided. On Monday last the House of Representatives passed a bin, by a vote of 67 to 83, cutting down the price to -be paid for advertising delinquent lists to 25 cents a description, half the present price allowed. V 1 l ' The Logansport Journal of last week says: Judge Hammond is presiding over the special court term this week. There is work enough in our docket to give employment to several Judges and then we would still be behind,

A Duluth woman who put ths Kerosene can on the stove hearth while she went to trade with a peddler, is now keeping house in a barn kindly loaned for tbe occasion.— Another ease of misplaced ooafidenca. Mr. Wm. B. Price, Mr. Loo. Riley aad Mr. Hugh Roberts, all of Remington, were iu town Wednesday, aad kindly rembered the Rxpubuca* Owk» among their calls. Mr. W. Bl P. remembered us $1.60 worth. The Central Association of the Patrons of Husbandry of Jasper eouuty will craven# at the Court House in Rensselaer, to-morrow, for the purpose of electing officers, and discussing the propriety of organising a County Council. Wa have reoeived from George W. Child*, publisher if the Philadelphia PtMie Ledger, the PuMit Ledger Almanac tor 1875, which is truly a handsome publication. Alao, two pages of the Ledger it miniature on a photograph card. Rev. C. I. Lambert, in the M. I Church last Sunday evening, preached * very interesting sermon to the young people of Rensselaer. Tbe lesson he sought to impross on their minds wa* “The - Spiritual Strength of Young Men and Women.” • «•' . ! —to— The protracted meetings of the Christian Church at Winamac, which are still being held, are progressing finely. Eighty-three new members have thus far been added to the church, two of whom are preachers of other denominations. —Logan. Daily Star. Scene in the wood market last Tueaday Buyer—“WhatH ye take for that load of wood V * Seller—“ Two dollars. ’ ’ Buyer— 1 ‘I’D give a dollar aad a half.” Sdler—“l’H take it.” Buyer’s feathers droop a little and he waltzes off amid the laughter of the spectators. On Sunday evenings the M. E. Church congregation indulges in a half hours singing exercise before the regular services begin. It to praiseworthy and. will doubtless tend to interest some iu thee# Sunday evening meetings who otherwise would not attend church. Any young man desiring to put the matrimonial bit into his mouth, we would advise hits tomakeMrs. Howard’s his boarding - place. Every young man who has boarded there within the last fifteen years is either a iparried man now, or the prospects are brightening. Tbe work already accomplished on the (? & 8. A R, R. in Lake county, between Dyer and the Kankakee river, runs up to tbe amount of about $50,006. About SIO,OOO more wilt finish the whole line from Dyer to the Kankakee river, nearly thirty miler, ready for the iron.— Lowell Star.

According to the Indianapolis Journal, a good many Democratic papers are trying very hard to create the impression that the administration is plotting for a war with Spain in order to make political capital for tbe Republican party. It should be added that the papers doing this are edited by fools. Don*t toy aside this paper until you have readjt he ad vert lament ofthe “North-Western Normal School and Commercial Institute.” Prof. B. F. Niesz informs us that he has the assurance for about one hundred normal students for next term, which will commence March 22, 1876, at Kentland, Indiana. Some one left on our table papers and circulars of the Champion Machine Company, with Norman Warner's name attached thereto as agent. Persons thinking of purchasing a machine between this and next harvest will find itadvantageous to themselves to call on Mr. Warner and get circulars of the Champion. Says the Winamac Republican : There has not been a time, for years, when there was such a deep religions feeling pervading this community as at present. The awakening bids fair to be general. May it go on until the town to thoroughly shaken from center to circumference, and all the Uhnrchca aad all the people feel its power.

Wm. A. Potter is the name of the supervising architect who has taken the place of the much written about Mullett. Potter was tbe designer of Mark Twain’s new house at Hartford, aad showed the multiversity of his capacity by designing it after the antiquehumorous, with a long corridor cutting the edifice in Twain. Potter thu? made his Mark. ■■ A boy by the name of Charley Ainsworth, of this place, had his leg broken while playing about the horse power, at the Water tank, below the Depot. We understand that his leg is badly broken, besides receiving other injuries. It is feared that his leg must be amputated. Boys should be very careful how they play around machinery.—Goodland Reporter. Mr, James Slattery and Miss Lou. Howard were married at the residence ofthe Bride’s father, last Sunday, by Rev C. E. Lambert. The happy couple departed for Remington a few hours afterward, and we understand they went from there to Kentland to spend the first few days of married life with relatives. We wish the pair much ha-pis ess through life, and many blessings. The Aiding tot February, 1876 (No. 14 of the current series, as the publishers seem to prefer calling it), leaves the reader a little in doubt whether the impression Created by the previous trumbor—that it was a trifle better, especially in variety, than could be kept up as an aveeftge—was indeed well founded. For the February number to quite the equal of the January in variety, and it has one or two features of even rare excellence. The commissioners of Carrel county meet to-morrow for the purpose of ordering an election to be held in five different townships of that county, to vote aid to the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago Railway. The Delphi Journal says bids are now before the Board for furnishingthe toon for the whole distance betwpon the two cities, and the road enjoys such a good reputation that the prospects of having iron furnished and paid for in stock is most flattering indeed. j

On Tuesday, January 26th, Hon. James WHdmaa, the State Auditor, tamed the keys of his office over to the Hon. Ebenezer Henderson, his saeramer. The Indianapolis Journal aays that Mr, WUdmaa retire with the best wishes of Wa eeeoe jvtes and all who have been brought into business relations with him. He has been uniformly courteous rad attentive to all alike, whether of high or low degree, and hone can be found who have ought to say against him.

Andrew Johnson, the old-time “circleswinger,’’ after a hard struggle has been elected to tbe Senatoirship ofTennesee. He crived 62 votes, 48 being necessary to a choice. Btfore his riefltpon he said to the leader of the Republicans in tbe Legislature: “If elected I will go to the United States Senate a* a representative of the Union sentiment of Tennessee, an-i of an ante-bellum Democracy/ 1 wilt ’advance no radical measure, blit will endeavor to take a position on medium ground asoppo ed to both extremes. I will not oppose Grant’s policy except in very extremeouseg. If elected by the rid of Republican votes, I will never forget what I owcjwthat party,. ’ ’ In view ofti»is«at&»eni Mr. Johnson received the votes of the Republicans. In times that are pest it was supposed that Andy was politically dead. But not so; here we find his valuable life be spared, good for a term of six years on the Senatorial steamer.

I. Never send an article for publication without giving the editor thy name, for thy name oftentimes secures publication to worthless articles. It. Thou shouldst not rap at the door of a printing office, for he thatanswereth the rap sneereth in his sleeve and looseth time. 111, Never do thou leaf about, nor knock down the type, or the boys wiU leve thee as they do the shade trees—when thou leav' est. IY. Thou shouldst never read the copy on the printer’s case, or the sharp aad hooked container thereof, or he may knock thee down. V. Never inquire of the editor for news, for behold it to hi* business to give it to thee at the appointed time without asking for it. Yl. It is not right that thou shouldst ask him who is the author of an article, for it to his duty to tcep suet things unto himself. 0 YU. When thou dost enter his office, take heed unto thyself that thou dost not look at what may concern thee not for that is not meet in tbe sight of good breeding. VII. Neither examine thou the proof sheet, for it to not ready to meet thine eye thou mayest understand. IX Prefer Thk Republican to any other paper, and subscribe for it immediately. X. Pay for it in advance, and it shall be well with thee aad thiae.
