Bailiff George Robinson, from Rensselaer, dropped into our town Monday evening w th a batch of subpoenas and beni ves in his pocket, and next morning, bright and 6>rly. was down on our citizens like »-hen on a june bug, and gobbled all the Grand Jurymen and witn sses he wanted before the alarm was raised. If there is anything that will drive iron into the, soul cf the average Remingtonian it is to be compelled to go to Renssrlahr, unless it is to defeat a railroad appropriation.

The Remington Union Agricultural Association has purchased thirty acres of lan< from Mr. William J >rdan at « cost of two thousand dollars, We congratulate the Association on its selection. The ground is just a mile north of the railroad, on the range line load; lays well, nnd includes twelve acres of beautiful grove, which will afford ample shade for all. There is room for a half mile traek cutside of the grove and also for sheds for stock., it has all the natural advantages it wot possible to crowd o-> thirty acres of land, and there is nothing to prevent its being made ’he handsomest Fair Ground iu Northern Indiana, at a comparatively small outlay. The fair is now an n-ssurojjfact, and it is only a question of time about our being called upon to print a premium list. Thursday evening of last week Messrs. Taylor, Moore, Cnrnahamani Springer, of Lafayette, visited Remington' so- the purpose of organizing a lodgo of the order of Knights of Pythias.

Coover ; K.B. & S., Al. Kitt; M. E., J. K. Shaw ;M. F.,C. W. Hartley; M, z..,M. G. Trough; I. G., fiank Morgan ; O. G.,G. F. Stiffler. At 12 o’clock lo ge was adjourned, and al l.repa red to the Remington House and partook of a sumptuous supper spread for the occasion. The business wan’t finishd until daylight, but all felt that it ws a night well spent. The Lafayette brothers have the thank- of Remington Lodge fur their kindly assistance. Thefruits of that nights labor will live and flourish as an emblem ofall that is good and pure iu principal, long after they hive passed away and been forgotten.

We believe, if a majority of Congress w re allowed to decide, as against tl e pra ;s and the people, they would favor a jestoralion of the franking privilege in all its former glory. . It is said that some members—the more social ones- we presume- —are actually Tecomlng bankrupt, so great, is the demand for money with which to purchase stamps. We thought Congress would be the first to tigh for the flesh pots of Egypt. The press rather enjoys the prbsent state of aflt.iis. ' t least it will never cry pcccavi. As for the dear people we are sure they ought to be satisfied with the present arrangement.- — “Justice-to all; special privileges to none,’ is a safe motto for the people, press and Congressmen. Let it prevail.— Elkhart Observer.

The following beautiful lines were handed us by a friend with the request that they be published in the Republican, with which we cheerfully comply: Ye nations all on you I call, Come hero this declaration ; And don’t reuse this glorious news, Of Jesus and Salvation. To Koval Jews came first the news,. Of Christ the great Mesiah, As was foretold by prophets old— Isaiah, Jeremiah To Abraham tbc promise came, And to his seed forever, A light to shine in Isaac’s line By scripture we discover. Hail promised morn! a Savior’s born The glorious mediator ; God’s blessed Word made flesh and blood, Assume the human nature. His parents poor in earthly store, To entertain the stranger, They found no bed to lay his head, But iv the oxen’s manger No royal things as used by kings were seen by those that found hint; Butin the hay the stranger lay With swaddling bands around him. On the same night a glorious light To shepherds there appeared ; Bright angels came on shiiing flame. They saw and greatly feared. Tt.o angels raid: “Bo not afra’d, Although we much alarm you, Wc do appear good news to bear, As now wc will inform you.” “The city’s name is Bethlehem, In which Go i hath appointed ; This glorious morn aSavior's born. ’“for him God hath anointed ; By this you’ll know, if you will go To see this little stranger, Ilia loving charms in Mary’s arms— Both lying in a manger.” When this was said, straightway was made A glorious sound fromUteavcn ; Each flaming tongue tin anthem sung: “To men a Savior’s given ! i,. In Jesus’ name (the glorious theme I) We e eratedttr voice*. At Jpg' s’ With be peace on earth ; Meanwhile all heaven rejoices !” Then with delight they took their flight And winged th Ar way to glory ; The shepherds gazei, an 1 were amazed To hear the lonely story. To Bethlehem they quickly came, This glorious news to And, on he stall, they foud them all— Joaeph, the babe and and Alary. The shepherds then returned again Tutheir own habitation, With joy oflreart they did depart;.. Now they have found salvation. “Glory" they cry, “to God otl high, Who sent his Son to save us; This glorious morn a Savi.r’s born, * ’ His nameitls Christ Jesus.”
