REMINGTON CHIPS.

BY HUNKS.

It rained last Sunday. Dr. H. Landon’s new residence, on Ohio staeet, is looming up into view at a rapid rate, considering the weather. Fred Stifler made his appearance on the streets, Tuesday, for tWe first time ic several days. Sickness kept him in doors. Jim. Irwin has gone out of the grain warehouse, and now says he don’t care a fig how many corners they put up on cobs. Genial, balmy, summer showers occasionally spread their enlivening influence over this section of Indiana’s garden. Witness —last Sunday. Poor show for corn planting and brick making. However. Tribby & Lowery have their wood on band for burning brick.— Forty eords of extra seasoned from Monticello. Last Sunday was a rainy day. - The Gold Templar women, some of them at least, don’t like it because I said that *-Beecher don’t belong to the Remington Lodge of Good Tempi its,” and so, to keep peace with them, I’ll take it all back and acknowledge that he does. A fine-haired gentleman from Benton county, said to be “HoosierMank,” the, correspondent of the Record, monopolised the side-walk in town for nearly a whole day, that is, Where the side-walks are wide. In the narrow places he walked both sides, on the ground. He left several casts of his symmetrical figure in the mud, full length busts. He said he wax on his w*|y to the B’ack Hills, or to h—l. Nobody seemed to dispute him. What a great and glorious thing is whisky. There is a murder trial in progress in Fulton county just now, and a day or two ago the sheriff of said county got off the train here, 'Now, there ere jast seventy-nine young bucks here from Rochester, and J suppose they have serious objections to being made witnesses of, and yon ought to have seen them scatter, It put one m mind of a brood of young partridges when suddenly happened upon. In two minutes net a Rochester boy was to be seen, and in twenty minutes two of them were heard from in Goodland, having made it on foot over the prairie. . • I forgot to mention that we had quite a shower last Sunday.
