Some person, accidently or intentionally shot a bullet through the front window of Church & Lyon’s dry goods store, Tu sday evening, about half past seven o’clock.Jamts Fraser, H. C. Uoldsberry, and seveveral other persons were in the store at th<time, and Fraser, who was standing near the stove, sais he distinctly heard the bullet wb ix as it passed in close proximity to his head. No idea has been formed as t > who fired the shot. It must either have been done by carelessness, or with the intention of severing the “mortal coil” of some fellow within. Mr. J. 11. Tribby. of the firm of Tribby & Patton, druggists, returned from Cincinnati. last wsek, where he purchased a large stock of goods. They have added some shelving to their room and are putting -in an elegant 6tock of goo <s.

Rev. Hendryx’s residence is rapidly approaching completion. Mr. G. B. Clark has been suffering with sore eyes for several days. The man who contracted for Geo. Swett’s property failed to come to time, consequently Swett will continue touo business at the old stand. Well, Goo. S. is a good fellow and a good business man, and we arc glad he intends to remain in busiaes.if lie doesu’t advertise. O. B. McTntire reports land sales lively this week. No less than five men were negotiating with him for land yesterday. Of course Mac. accommodated the gentlmen. Is it not right to support home institutions, build them up and make them a credit to the town which you have chosen for your home ? < ertainly, you will say.— Yet there area hundred men iu and around Remington who are inking the Rensselaer papers, and not the Record. We have nothing to say against the papers published at Rensselaer; they are both good papers, well worth the money paid for them, but we think with Carpenter-township inhabitants it should be Remington first, as here their interests are o mterel. Wf learned last night, for the first time, that Remington had two livery stables.— Patton Br<s’. stable is known to everybody, simp y because they have advertised their business We do not know where the o'her stable is situated, nor the proprietor’s name. We noticed a plan for a model school house in Remington, designed by E B. Righter,which we think is worthy of the approval of any committee or board of trustees who contemplate building. Mrs. G. B. Clark, accompanied by her mother, returned from Connecticut, lust Thursday a week. Levi Hnwkii s received an addition to his family, Wednesday evening, in the shape of a fine young gianger. We were asked the question the othqr day, “Who are the Dire'tors of Remington Agricultural Society ?” We have never learned who the gentlemen are that occupy that position. Now that spring has opeced, the dogs begin to perambulate our streets by ihe dozens, and we long to see some of them pass through an old-fashioned sausage stuffer. Geo. Hieleg, a young man who has been employed as baker in Swett’s bakery, has left this place to make his home in Logans port. Success. We understand that the receipts at the Ladies Union Sewing Society fair, last Wednesday night a week, amounted to about §IOO.

To Lead all Competitioners is the aim of the Wilson Shuttle Sewing ' achine. It is founded on the very best principles known to tbe sewing machine science, and improvements, in advance of all otht r sewing machines, are being adopted constantly.— The Wilson is rapidly gaining the preference of all parties that are acquainted with sewing machines, and it has already taken tbe front rank among the first-class machines of this country ; and its price, owing to its being manufactured where labor and material is much cheaper than in Eastern cities, is lif.oen dal &rs less than all other first-class machines. Machines will be delivered atony Railroad Station in this county, free of transportation charges, if ordered through the Company’s -Branch Bouse at 197 State St., Chicago, HL They send an elegant catalogue and chromo circular free on application. This Company -was* a ftw sere good agents. '-**—-•
