We copy the following fjom the Bradford (England) daily Observer: “Bogers—Smith—July 13, at Rensselaer, Jasper county, Indiana, North America, J. Samuel Rogers .to Violeta Smith, late of Great Horton, Bradford.” The Monticello Constitutionalist says: “Monticello for beauty ; Idaville for wit; Logansport for lager-beer and Remington for— base ballists” It would have been a good idea to have added : Rensselaer for business. Go to Emmet Kannal’s Drug Store and buy one of those Patent, Pocket Cooking Stoves. Handy for using in a sick room.— Will heat a half pint of water boiling hot in three minutes.

Marriage licenses were issued to the following named parties: On the 26th day of August, William Anderson and Francis Angeline Hart; on the 30th day of August, William F. Gibson and Sarah E. Price.

The Union of last week says: “From every quarter the report prevails that work will be resumed on the Chicago and South Atlantic Railroad before the 15th ofSeptember. The impression is strong that the track will be laid from Chicago to Monticello this fall, and the road in running order.” The RbpubucjLX sincerely hopes the impression may prove a reality. The Jasper County Rkpublicait wants it understood that the reduction of the public debt has been dona exclusively by the Republican party. Democrats don’t pay any taxes.— Valparaiso Messenger. It takes something more than the payment of taxes to reduce the public debt. It requires an economical management of the finances to reduce the public debt at the rate of $90,000,000 per annum at the present rate of taxation.

“Pioneer’’ sends us an excellent lot of items from Gillam township, but neglects to send the proper name of the author. We have stated before that to insure publication the proper name must invariably accompany the article—not for the pnrpose of publishing it to the world—but as an evidence of good faith on the part of the writer. If “Pioneer” will send his proper name his production will appear in our next issne, as it is good, and will keep. The following we clip from the Be nton County (Iowa) Record, and will doubtffss prove of interest to many of the readers of the Republican: Phillips —McFarland.—At the residence of the bride’s father, on Saturday evening, August 21st, 1875, by Rev. J. W. Daniels, Mr. Will Phillips and Miss Emma McFarland, both of this place. Thus has one of the flurest and best daughters of Shellsburg, been pursuaded to abandon the associates of her girlhood and take upon henelf the responsibility of a wedded life.

Wood, about two miles south . of Rensselaer, last Saturday evening, between Mr. Wood and his brother-in-law, Noble J. York. It seems that York, fired three shots at Wood, but fortunately none of them taking effect. The trouble arose from a family difficulty.
