Rensselaer has Btfuck with the spelling school mania. We fried to persuade our inhabitants that they, could make it both profitable and amusing, but then they don’t seem to think bo; Rensselaer young ladies say they don’t visit Remington to “Captivate the verdant youths” of this place, anymore. How heart-bursting this intelligence must be to the young men of Remington. Drs. Patton & Hood say that tho month of February was the healthiest they have ever known since practicing medicine in Jasper county. ’We are not aware of a single case of sickness in town at present. A rnnaway came off in first-class style, Monday morning. A team of greys started from Norris’ Grocery store, on Railroad street, and ran down to the Nevada House, where there seemed to be a slight difference of opinion ris to which way they should go. One horse took the east and the other the south side of the building, but the neck-yoke taking the corner checked their mad career. The only damage resulting was a broken' neck-yoke. * It is now a settled gfact that four brick bui IdiDgs are to bo built this spring on Ohio street, north of the Railroad. Melntire & Sbaw build two of them, J. O. B. McDougle one and J. H. Tribby the other.- — We saw the draft for the fronts, drawn by E. J. Righter, and like the design. They will make a handsome block of buildings, and add much to the appearance of the town. •Mr. J. H. Tribby has the contract for making and putting the brick in the walls.

When such men put their shoulder to t.iro work, they can and do acomplish wonders. The board of officers is wadi selected, and speaks in the highest terms for the society. '' ; . . -e t«- -
