Mr Ladd Hopkius has been to Chicago this week, for the purpose of lay tag iu anew stock of goods. Judging from outside iearances, tho spring fever has uAcked several in dividuab in town.

Mart. Warner has commenced remodeling that forty-year-old building of his, preparatory to placing therein the beef-steak. Charley Hopkins has stepped down and out of the Union office, and now contemplates wielding the paint brush this summer. Spring is here at last. 'VVh have had several days of warm, pleasant sunshine, and the grass is beginning to show {tself. It is said that the spelling match fever has revealed the fact that about half the people in the western part of Ohio spell cow with a “k.” Farmers are all busy in making preparations for planting their seeds, notwithstanding tba hinderance occasioned by eold, wet weather. The farming implement dealers are kept pretty busy just now discusing tbe merits and demerits of this, that and the other implement. See the new advertisement df R. Fendig. We can faithfully recommend Mr. K. Fendig as bring* fair and square dealer. Give him a call. Says the Mouticello Herald: “We understand that Mr- Purcupile, of RenSsselaer,' son-in-law of Mr. B. Hughs, has derided to make Montieello his home.” Mr. Harding, of the drug firm of Harding k Willey, returned home from Chicago last Wednesday. We understand that he has been laying ia a new stock of drags. Pronouncing matchs are taking the place of tbe spelling matches. Now, let not Rensselaer be lagging behind, bat proceeed at once to organize a pronouncing match. Col. Healey is, or has been to Chicago this week, on business connected with the affairs of the Chicago k South Atlantic Railroad. A meeting of the directors we understand. Let it be remembered by all persons concerned that the regular annual meeting of the Jasper County Sunday School Union will take place in Rensselaer, on the third Tuesday in N ay. We understand that the day is not for distant when there will be another wedding in Rensselaer. The young lady is—well, we promised to say nothing about it, and we will not. So there, now. ■ mm ■ . The clash in the fashionable world jnst now between the girls with pretty feet who want to wear short di esses, and those with ugly feet who insist upon having long ones, is described as something fearful. The Assessors of the different townships of Jasper county met at the Court House one day last week, and agreed upon plans of operation. Proceedings are published elsewhere in this weok'a Rzrnm.KUK.

Should such be the case the oars on the road will in all probability be running from Chicago te this cityby the 4th of Jnly.” Jasper coun'y possesses rare advantages for (be agriculturalist in its abuudance of fertile lands, and when it shall possess the means of easy access to good markets—the Chicago and south Atlanta Railroad—Jasper will not be in the rear of many other counties in Northern Indiana. Marriage licenses were issued by Clerk Spitler since our last report as follows: Joseph Mason and Nancy D. Whitaker. William Potts and Mary M. Nichols. Andrew Boston and Nancy J. Comer.— David E. Bmith and Mary E. Braskett.— Henry J. Gratner and Nancy J. Pruett. We, the citizens of Keener and Wheatfield townships, would be greatly obliged to non-residents who-have heretofore brought cattle into our neighborhood for herding purposes, if they would not do the same thing this summer, as it is very disadvantageous to us. MANY CITIZENS.

- - The Delphi Journal snrs, as an evidence that the new railroad has enhxneoTtSevalue of property in this city, we will state that a }ot that fold for 5700 within the last year, was again sold the other day for ever first time and too high the last, but still the margin is great. The following are the names of the persons drawn to serve as petit jurors for the May term of the J*Bper Cireuil Court: Jacob Clouse, Hemy S. Sparling, James Culp, William Lakin, Franklin C. Moore, O. R. Rockwell, William P. Baker, Benjamin R. Farris, Francis M. Goff, Jonathan Rank, Bronson W. Harrington and William Jordan. Now is the time to trim your grapevines. Of a dull Sunday afternoon nothing relieves the ennui of the neighborhood more than to see a (rood man waltz out into the yard with a step-ladder on his back and a pair of shears in hand, and got to work in the grape arbor. AU hearts are enlivened by the spectacle of his industry, bat when he misses his footing, goes crashing threugh the vines, and, hanging suspended to one of bv his trouser’s leg, commences shouting “help I” and “Robinson Crusoe!” the excitement becomes intense. At a meeting of the stock hold ere of the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association, held at the Court House in Rensselaer, on Saturday, April 3d, 1876, the following officers were elected : President G. H. Brown ; Vice President, W. K. Parkison; Treasurer 0. C. Starr; Secretary, Joshua Henley; Superintendent, A. J. Yeoman; Directors—Geo. H Brown, W. K. Parkison, Chas. Boroughs, Henry A. Barkley, David Nowels, u. C. Starr, A. J. Yeoman, Joshue Healey and Berry Paris. ""’"The spelling match held at tbe Court House last Friday evening proved to be quite an interesting affair. Mr. M. F. Chilcote and Mr. H. W. Wood were selected as Captain*, Mr. Ira W. Yeoman was the prononneer, and Mr. Alfred Thompson umpire. Mr. S. P. Thompson and Mr T. Thompson were appointed as detectives, and the spelling commenced. Spelled twenty minutes, at the end of which rime the score stood Captain Cbilcote’B Company 6 to Captain Wood’s 8. Then all stood up and spelled down, loavil 1 Mrs. T. Thompson victor. Spelling again to-night.

The following extraordinary deer story is from the Logansport Pharos: “I® the spring of 1843, D. D, Pratt, W. Wright, Judge Biddle, Geo. W. Bi&kemore, and John W. Wright were practising at tbe bar of Cass, and nearly all the other counties in Northern Indiana. Ae they were going from Winamae to Rensselaer to attend court they fell in with a herd of deer numbering about oue hundred. The gentlemen supposed that ell the deer in the country were congregated then and there. They put spurs to their horses, and the chase was exciting for about five miles, when the herd disappeared from sight. The gentlemen were well mounted, but they emit tn't catch a dee-. They kept on until they reached the Monon, Where they met with a herd numbering from three to five thousand. Judge Wright contends to this day that there were one hundred thousand deer in that herd. Mr. Pratt has often tried to induce Judge Wright to fall one hundred und make the number ninety-nine thousand nine hundred, but the judge refuses to concede a single deer. And even at that early day the old hnnters picked their flint and went West where game was plentiful. All the gentlemen mentioned above are living andoccupvprorainentposition* in the community. The story was told us this mornong by one of the parly, and we can asaore iur readers that the number of deer—between three and five thousand—i* not exaggeiatH.”

We faded to find Charley Price’s name on the managing list. , Riley & Shepard, marble dealers, sent a handsome monument to Goodland this week. These gentlemen do some as fine work as can be done in the State. Mrs. Chappell, Mrs. Black and Mrs. Draper were appointed as a committee, at the Temperance meeting, to present pledges to the druggists and physicians. The first match game of base ball of tiro season was played out oaGeo. Major's farm, Wednes lay, between the “Star Gazers,” and the “Rough and Ready’#.’’ The former won the game. Dwelling houses are springing np all over town like mushrooms. We notice the frames of several buildings which have been erected within the past two weeks. This denotes both enterprise and capital in our midst. ’ At the temperance meeting last Sabbath it was decided that the ladies should present a pledge to the doctors, obligating the forme* oidjMte ngM Uquo* in oxr tremecases, when recomendofi by a physician-, and the latter to peracribe it only in oases of absolute necessity. t It was fan to sees fiaxen-haied youth trying to brsak a male to ridst bn Indiana street lari Monday.

A son of Jonathan Rank, living four miles west of this place, aged about sixteen, met with & serious accident, lari Wednesday, while out hunting. He discharged a doublebarreled shot gun at a wild goose, the gun exploded, and a piece from the side of the barrel struck the boy just below the ball of the left thumb, almost severing it from the hand. Dr Patton, who is ettdftding the case, says it may*yet become necessary to amputate the thumb, as the wound is an ugly one.
