Since our last report marriage, licenses were issued to William A. Lam son and Mary A. Peacock, and George W. Heiligand Maggie E. Reigle. Mr. H. E.

'■ ■ '♦ We received a pleasant call one day last week from Max Laib, of LaPorte. He is a genial gentleman, and we hope lie will not fail to call again when in Rensselaer, An advertisement reads: “When yen travel, take the Pan-Handle route.” Many a man has been utterly routed by a pan-han-dle—a mad and lively woman having hold of it. Mias Mattie Cunningham,ayoung, handsome and accomplished lady, of Edinburg, this State, has taken tke vail, and entered a convent in St Louis, She is a late convert to Catholicism.

The meeting of the stockholders of the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association, for the purpose of electing directors! will ha held" in the Court House today—Friday. The Indianapoliß daily Journal is now received in Rensselaer regularly on the evening of the day of publication. It seems that the hints of the Rkpubuca-W in regard to the mallet were well-timed. A temperance meeting will be held in the Presbyterian Church tomorrow (Saturday) evening, The public g nerally is invited to attend. Important business to be transacted. Good speakers are expected to address the meeting. The temperance meeting at the Presbyteriau Church, last Thursday evening, was net such a grand rally as was expected, hut the attendance was very good. The necessary committees were appointed, and, the temperance work is fairly inaugurated for the coming contest. Ou Monday last, Mr. and Mrs. Howard, of this place, having led separate lives for some time, concluded to jump into the same boat and sail through the journey of life as a wife and husband should. The “belling” on Monday evening no doubt evidenced tfcrtr Mils «*ww4o».

c The LaPorte »emi-weekly Chronicle *•* ceased to exist. If bright and successful career closed with the Issue of lost Friday.-* But the evening and weekly Chroniel* will take its place. In short, Itoa- Jwipw Packard has determined to start a daily paper, and of course it will be a live and epiey one. Success to the Laporte evening Chronwle. In one town in New Jersey when a policeman tape at tha door the next rooming and says that though they are respectable people he must atop them next time when they are throwing coffee polo and puttv pane at each other and disturbing the neighborhood, the man of the house smooths down the sticking plaster and says he was only celebrating bis tin wedding. This week we present to our readers the prospectus of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, the leading Republican newspaper of the Northwest. Aa tha Centennial and the Presidential election is In the near future, it behooves everyone to keep posted in the matters pertaining thereto. The Inter-Ocean is able and reliable, and ia an excellent paper for every familami'y to have. A man in Southern Indiana having shot his wife in the head three times the other day, “locked bimaelf in a room, shot himself threa times in t k e head, opened a main artery, and crushed his skull with a ham* mer.” If he bad then swallowed half an ounce of strychnine and melted lead, and jnmped out of a nine story window he would have come very near rousing a suspicion that he intended to injure hi oself seriously. The card oMfrank W. Babcock appears in the cardcolnmn of this issue of the Republican, to which the attention of the public is called. Mr. B. has been so long and favors bly known by the people as the Auditor of Jasper county that further recommendation from us is unnecessa.y. If you have anything to be done in his line es business it will be promptly attended to by calling at his office and making it known.

Volume 1, number 1, of the New York Merry Masker, an illustrated journal of humorous and entertaining reading, published monthly by Collin k 113 Fulton street, New York, at SI.OO per year, has been received at this office. Ip their introductory they say their object is to make people happy, and if the succeeding numbers prove as interesting as the first one no doubt they will accomplish their aim. «ffi» ■ * Mr. L. Kern and Mr. A. Leopold, two merchants of this place, bad a little scrimmage, lost Sunday, in which Leopold.struck Kern on the head with a rock, knocking him headlong into the door of Mr. Ralph Fendig’s residence. On Wednesday, Leopold was arrested on r charge of assault and battery, had his trial before Justice Harding, and was fined twenty-five dollars and costs. Many such fines as that will have a tendency to make Rensselaer a quiet and peaceable village. The following is a report of the Second Intermediate Department of the Rensselaer schools for the month ending October 29, 1876: Number enrolled, 56 ; average dally attendance. 62. Cora Zimmerman, Tillie Fendig. Carrie Egor, Louisa Platt, Mary Heaiy, George Hollingsworth, Fred L Chilcote. Oliver Rhoades, Victor Willey, George Conwell, Charles Porter and Caley Hopkins were perfect in attendance, punctuality, study and deportment Mattib Benjamin, Teacher. Michael Halloran, Esq., gives notice that he will apply to the Board of Commissioners of Jasper county, at their December term, for a license to sell intoxicatig liquors in less quantities than ft quart, with the privilege of allowing th >. same to be drank in what is known os the bar-room of the City Hotel,,in Rensselaer. We rather suspect that the good temperance people of Rensselaer will hardly permit such an undertaking to prove a success. If they do we mss our guess ; that’s all

Marrikd. —At the residence oft he bride’s father, in Rensselaer, on Sunday morning, November 7th, 1575, by the Rev. Thos. Vanscoy, Mr. Will am A. Lamson to kiss Mary A. Peacock. The community will join us most heartily in expressions of hope for the future happiness of the newly mafried couple, and in trusting that the splendor of the November morning on which this union was consumated may prove prophetic, and that all the days of their lives may be gilded by a brightness and geniality akin to it. Messrs. A. J. Kitt and A. B. Clark, of the Remington Record, were in town last Saturday night. We are not aWare of aßy particular feminine attraction for them in Rensselaer, and yet there may be. In connection with the above we will say this: the young lady that secures either of the gentlemen named os a life partner will get a lively and energetic hnsband. It might not be out of place to state that we charge nothing for this notice. The published report of the receipts of the ladies State Centennial tea party does not do justice to the town of Renss iaer in Jasper county. The ladiesof that pla< e gave an entertainment, and the net proceeds were $63 35. This amount was forwarded to the District treasurer at LaPorte, which, added to the receipts of the LaPorte entertainments $87.60, made the full ■ amount reported, and which is all cred ited to LaPorte. We desire to rnder this justi s to Rensselaer because we believe that according *o population that town made the mostliberal contribution that was given in the State.— rLaPortc Chronicle. Thanks to the LaPorte Chronicle for giving honor to whom honor is due.

Getting up in a cold room to make a fire is like get ting up in life If you crawl timidly out of bed, go on tip-toe to the stove, and allow the shivers to get control of you before the kindling starts, your fire will probably be failure, and you will half freeze to death in the operation. But if you jump out bravely, bustle around, pull on your clothes, knock over a chair or two, and - itch in the stove-wood, you will probably be too warm by the time tb e fire gets to burning and have to open a window. So iu life.— Attack it timidly and you will fistt. Grapple with it, hurry up things, stir around, conquer fortune, and you will be a suc-

I | g - Mr. Pettit, formerly of' Logansport, is building a room 20 x 36, sooth of D. V. Garrison’s harness shop, which will be used as a bakery. This, when ounploted, will make the 11th building sn Ohio since last May, and one of them a two-story brick 80 x9O feet. These buildings bjtve cost the sum of $30,000 Now, when you consider the fact that this is only one street in the city; and that improvements have been going on in all parts of the town, yon can readily see that the growth of Remington the past season has been extraordinarily rapid. In’addition to these, are the two-story brica business room of Burger A Butler, on North street, and the elegant church erected by tha Catholics on New York street.— Record.
