Rensselaer would be a good place for some man of capital to build several houses for rent, as there are applicants but no empty houses. Mrs. Howard sent us a head of cabbage measuring thirty-five and one-half inches in circumference. She raised it in her little garden. A man never looks so helpless and insignificant as when standing around in a dry goods store waiting for his wife to get through trading. If you buy your school books of Emmet Kaunal you will be furnished with one of Holden’s Book Covers for each book FREE of charge. Has anybody explained why a young man who is going to be married invariably casts a gloom over the occasion by having his hair cut short ? The beautiful Indian summer has at last made its appearance. Some of our knowing eitieons predict three or four weeks of this kind of weather. Many of our exchanges teem with advertisements of sure cures for ague, so that it would appear no one need shake more than a week at a time. Logansport Journal : “Cupid’s Harvest,” is what an exchange calls marrying. We would call it “Cupid’s Sowing,” the harvest will come after a while. All new yearly subscribers will receive the Republican from uow until the first of January, 1876, free of eharge. Now is the ti ne to get ud cluba. tm • Mr. A. J.

The time of year is fast approaching when a woman always insists upon ter husband going to bed first, and kindly intimates that it would be better for him to get up first. The Nursery, that splendid magazine for young folks, has reduced its subscription price to $1.60 per year, postage included.— Subscribers to the Republican can get it at $1.19. F. J. Sears A Co. mark all their goods in plain figures. They buy all their goods for cash, and can afford te sell to all persons alike. Try them ;we guarantee you will be satisfied. The Gypsies are around again. Beware of your fortune, especially, if said fortune is invested in chickens. They have a weakness for chickens equalled only by the oldfashioned circuit preacher. An old farmer, under the influence of “John Barleycorn,” attracted considerable attention on froDt street, last Saturday afternoon, by his efforts to navigate the street successfully with his team. We neglected, last week, to call the attention of the public to C. W. Clift ion’s new advertisement. And, come tothinkofit, guess its hardly necessary ; it speaks for itself.— Don’t foil to read it at any rate.

The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the adoption of the 14th amendment did not oonfer the right of suffrage on women. Now, let the Jasper county ladies “go for” the Supreme Court. Mr. James Dutton, trustee of Jordan township, will attend to township business o'n Friday of each week. All contracts, auditing and payment of claims made only on such days, at the residence of said trustee. Mr. Prestley Dunlap, formerly of Rensselaer, is now located at Battle Ground. He has ordered the Republican to be sent regularly to his address, therefore, we naturally conclude he will live happily in his new home. “Who’s your grocer ?’ ’ is an important question now-a-days, and if you can reply, Charley Starr, you must be a happy mao, for the groceries he sells are tbe best quality, aud his prices compare farvorably with all others. A young lady(?) stood on a street corner, at Winamac, lust week, and drank whiskey out of a half pint bottle, with xher young gentleman( ?) associates. Surely, the Woman’s Rights doctrine is in the ascendancy at Winamac. As we said before: We would modestly suggest that the Jasper Republican is the best advertising medium in these parts, both on accounnt of circulation and influence, the young men of the Union to the contrary notwithstanding. By Subscribing for the Jaspkr RkpucliCAN, you will bo enabled to get the Weekly Indiana State Journal at $1.25 per year and one of those sectional and township maps of Indiana; aud Louisville Weekly CourierJournal at $1.40 per year.

Prof. Tbos M. Lott, formerly leader of the orchestral and brass bands of Watseka, Illinois, is traveling with the Anna Britton Company, and furnishes the excellent music with a violin and cornet. Mr. Will Sears assists him with an organ accompaniment, during their engagement in Rensselaer. You may talk as you will, but the fact still remains that Norman Warner carries the largest and most complete Stocks of Furniture in Northern Indiana. It would be impossible to enumerate all the valuable articles which he keeps for sale, but it is safe to say that you can find anything wanted. It pays to trade with those merchants who advertise their wares io the county papers. Those whose penuriousness compel them to rely exclusively upon the oards printed upon their wrapping paper, fence advertisements, and the like, invariably keep poor stocks of goods and at the high* eat figures. Two of the colored ladies of the North Carolinians singers were passing some parties on the atreet and overheard their remarks about them, whereupon they turned around and remarked that “it would be a great addition to the nigger show if you roughs will stay away for wo do not want the money of such”— Brookston Reporter. The Crown Point Register, in speaking of the narrow-gague railroad, says: “The people of Valparaiso are agitatirg for a nar-row-gague railroad from that town to Rensselaer. Why not include Crown Point ? Let our farmers and professional men think of it, and soon move in the enterprise—the three towns can be thus connected at a very small cost.” Majrikd.—At the Residence of Mr. J. Mifcrr, in Donovan, Illinois, on Wednesday, October 20th, 1875. Mr. U. L. Black, of Remiagton, to Miss Lillie H. Jones, formerly of Remington, but more recently of Donovan. May the happy couple be blessed with a long life, and experience a full fruition of all their hopes, are the best wishes of the Riotblicax.

Two Carroll couqtj gentlemen, Messrs Stets and House, have the eontrttet for the grading between Bradford and Rensselaer, and we understand that they are also pushing things with all possible speed.

Judge Hammond is dispensing justico in Newton county this week. He iayery popular with all, and makes an excellent Judge; The Anna Britton Dramatic Company are giving the amusement lovers of Rensselaer and vicinity a series of excellent entertainments, this week. They are greeted with a large audience each evening. The famous “Ticket-of Leave-Man” was well rendered on Wednesday evening: At bus m >ment the audience was convulsed with laughter, at the next, bathed in tears. All unite in saying that this is a troupe-of the best performers that has ever visited Rensselaer. To-night they play the “Octoroon,” the best sensational drama of the age.
