Remington Items.

[From the Recrn'd.] D. Y. Garrison has built another addition to hia harness shop. We understand that C. Harlacker has employed another workman. Corkins talks of moving to Wanatab, up in the northern swamps.—-JoAn Sylir. The postmaster is pushing tho season with a linen coat. —John Sylcr. Mr. Goldsbury, dry goods salesman in Church & Lyon’s store, is at Lafaj'ette - tlik week enjoying a short respite from ‘business. * The Church of God will hold meeting in Anglemire’s Hall, commencing Monday nod continuing over Sunday. Everybody cordially invited. - • Church & Hartley have rented ths Wolcott elevators. We that Mr. Church will hold forth at that place for .awhile, returning here Saturdays. (Is Church & Hartley going to mouopolize the grain trade in Indiana. 7) Do not judge a man by first sight. We know of several fellows in this place who lost two dollars by a hastily formed opinion. “Guard” against such things in the future. —John Sylcr. You was one of those fellows, wasn't you, John? The trials and tribulations of an editor are many, indeed. When they can’t find anything else to “twit” us on, they bring the paper np, stick it under out nose, and yell, “there’s a grammatical mistake Mr. t’’ That boil that Dave Coover has been nursing with such tender care, has taken a run and jump and lit on the end Of his nose. How dreary seems each hour, As it slowly, slowly goes, To the man who site in anguish With a boil upon his a die! (Poor Dave.) There are persons who imagine that in order to be Christians they must put. on a long face, and envelope their countenance in sadness. Then the question very naturally arises iu our mind—does a man eiyoy himself any tho less for obeying the scriptures. ? (Try it, brother; then answer the question yourself.) An alarm of fire was started in the west end of town last evening, but it proved to be a corn shock that had taken fire from a locomotive. We don’t want any fires to break out in that end of town when the wind blows as furiously as it did last night. B. M. Butler having failed to dispose of bis interest in the lumber business has concluded not to sell at present, and will be found at the office of Burger & Bntler, preared.tcilA a shccrji pencil, to make figures right- at the bottom on largo or small lots of lumber. Whenever we see two persons parading our streets, making fun of our town and buildings, we make up our mind they are condemned idiots, and have been reared in whortleberry swampe. We saw two gents(?) of the above description trying to make light of this city, Monday, and we also noticed an old cow just behind them, that looked wistfully at their coat tails; but had she got a bite it would hare been an awful soft • one. .. s l? .- The agricultural meeting convened at S. M. Black’s office at 2 o’clock last Saturday. Tho committee oh grounds were authorized to purchase land for the fair-grounds, using their own jugement in said purchase. Thcro will be a meeting held at the same time and place February 12th, 1875. The Rensselaer Republican says: “A terrible shaking up of the dry bones is expected in Rensselaer, shortly.” From the number of dances held is that place this winter we should judge that some of them were already pretty well shaken up.— (Dwellers in crystal palaces should refrain from tho propulsion of irregularly shaped particles of granite formation )
