Fast friends are good to have about when they are needed, but they should not be too fast.

On the 26th inst. a marriage license was issued to Henry H. Downing and Tillie J. Kitt. Rag money will be willingly received at this office on subscription. Never mind the specie. Mr. Mahlon Johnson, ofßemiagton, while out buggy riding, last Sunday, “took in” Rensselaer. A cold winter is predicted. This is not a cheerful prospect for the poor, but the wood dealer grumbleth not. Owing to the continued absence of Mr. Shepard Mr. Brown is unable to fix the date of their joint public sale. The business, men of Rensselaer are honest, keep good stocks of goods and sell low. Here is the place to do your trading.

The Indianapolis Sunday Courier and the Peru daily Times have both “gone dead” for want of proper encouragement to live.

It has been noticed that hous.s harboring young ladies were the most prompt in getting their parlor heating apparatus in order.

The Marshall County Republican has been enlarged to a 9-column folio sheet. Messrs. Packard and Brooke are making the Republican one of the best and newsiest papers in Northern Indiana. Remember tbe grand temperance rally at the Court House next Thursday evening.— Good speakers will be present and address tbe meeting. Everybody is invited to attend. .
