Tho Remington mail failed to nuike its appearance in thi* place on Wednesday, owing to the severity of the went her.

May the new enterprise prove a financial success. It is understood that Mr. Gutche, railroad contractor or for this division of the 1., D. & C. R. R., will begin work at an early diy. If wo are to have the m ercury fooling around down about zero for the nert six months to come, why we want to know it. What has become of the Goodland Reporter ? Has it suspended after only one issue ? We have not heard from it for two weeks past. Hon. John B. Glover stepped “down and out” of the state Treasurer’s office on Tuesday, and was succeeded by the Hon. B. C. Shaw. A Trov man worth $75,000 hung himself recently. If they must do it, that’s the kind of men to go about it, as it loosens the currency. Five townships of Carroll county will vote on the 1., D. &C. R. R. appropriation on the 6th of March. The amount to be raised by taxation i* $68,000. A dancing club has lately been organized In this place with a code of laws somewhat longer than the moral law.

The same thing might be shid of Jasper county. , Brothers James k Healy, proprietors of the Rensselaer Union, are happy bver the prospect* of *. $10,030 libel suit, at the bunds of Hon. Jasper Packard, M. C., and editor of theLaporte Chronicle.

Nathan P. Johnson, of La Grange, Ohio, whose death recently occurred in the set en-ty-fourth year of his age, had been a subscriber of the Albany Journal from the date of its first issue, more than forty-five years.

Mr. Prior, the new editor, will talce entire control, having bought the interest of the former gentleman." A useful and much needed invention has been patented—a fountain pen, which by the pressure of the thumb on a small rubber ball, projects a stream of ink through the holder and into the face of the person who is looking over your shoulder while you are writ* inß ' f w The protracted meeting at the Christian Chapel closed on Monday night last, after beiug held over four weeks.

An old lady has become disgusted with almanacs. She says if all tho peolple in the country were to stop buying almanacs, “maybe the printers who make ’em would put in some total ectipsos of the sun and moon, and some transits of Venuses that would be visible here.” A finly dress ed lady slipped and fell near (fie wind pump, the other day, and the young gentleman who assisted her to her feet “Did you bretfk any bones, madam?’’No I guess not," she replied, “but lam just as mud as if I bad broken a dozen of’em.” . The law protecting wild game took effect February Ist. Persons violating the law will be prosecuted to the full extent thereof, and their informants will be properly rewarded.

The Union meetings still continue. Meetings have been held every afternoon and evening, so far this week. It is thought that more interest is manifested in these meetings than has been in meetings of this kind in this place for years. We earnestly hope that they will continue until mor* of a religious feeling is awakened in Rensselaer. The vote of Jasper county last Saturday, to decide whether aid would be extended to the C. & S.

The following from Mr. S. P. Thompson, Prosecuting Attorney, dated .at Fowler, Benton county, will explainifSelf: From an inspection of Senate bill No, 22, approved January 30th, 1875, I am able toeay that the terms of Court in Jasper county will hereafter be two weeks long, if the people are foolish enough to require it. They will commence op , fourth Monday of February, second Monday of May, fourth Monday of September, and second Monday of December, in each year, - Benton county has a comfortable, convenient and substantial Court -Bouse, and Brother Shidter Lewis, good grub at the suuiLuit House. n ‘ • * My business in Court is ip a chronic state of bloekade. ; ,K . d ' Smith wick says that liis landlady’s servant girl Maria Jane has from her inner consciousness envolved the faculty of going into trances. She thought that she would slide into one tho other night while she was peeling potatoes. Smithwich rolled her on th* floor and thre w flat-irons and stove furniture at her, but she looked as calm and peaceful as the little cherubims that are sometimes seen in pictures. He emptied the dish of potatoes and water over her and smashed a length of stnve-pipe down over her ears. After he had exhausted all his ingenuity, and lay utterly worn out, on the kitchen table with his wife fanning him with a newspaper, she turned around and asked Mrs. Smitbwick if there was anything the matter, as sweetly as an infant with a piece of taffy.

A Hint to the Working Man.— A man with a family, however poor he may be, owes it to his wife to save her health and strength in every way possible. He bas no right to allow the mothas of bis children to wear her life out toiling with her needle to cloth her ’ family. His duty is to buy the Wilson Shuttle Sewing Machine, the best machine for family Re wing jmd manufacturing purposes ever invented, and he can buy o ne for fifty dollars. More than this, he can buy tho Wilson Machine iipohrierms which enables him to pay for it ha stnall monthly installments, that he can spare out of his wages without feeling the drain. He will get, thereby, a machine capable of doing every variety of family work in the most beautiful manner, a machine even a child can operate,,and which will prove a permanent family blessing. Machines will be delivered at any Railroad Station in this country, free of trailsportat.on charges, if ordered through the Company's Branch House at 197 State St., Chicago, 18. • - They send an elegant catalogue and chromo circular free on application.
