Mrs. M. E. W. Adams and a part of her class will give a vocal and instrumental concert at the Court House in Rensselaer, on Friday evening, Jan. 28, 1876. An attractive programme will be presented , consisting of Choruses, Quartettes, Trios, Duetts and Solos. Admission 25 cents. The Jasper Republican says that faith in the Chicago & South Atlantic R.R. having died out, it would be advisable for the citizens of Rensselaer, Remington and Valparaiso to go to talking up the narrow-gague railroad, ns it would be better than no road at all. We don’t need the road here very bad, yet are willing to assist our neighbors out of the mud,— Remington Record. Thanks! Give us your on that.

It is claimed that the Western Farmer’s Almanac, published by John P. Morton & Co., Louisville, Ky.. for forty-nine yean has reached a circulation of one hundred thousand copies, This is certainly very remarkable, but when we come to think about it, it seems to have been brought about in a natural way, Jim Fisk used to say, “if you have got a good thing, put all the money in it and all the men on it it will bear, and ■S.Shrican people will buy it.” This is what its publiaers did every year with the Western Farmer’s Almanac, so that it grew to be a standard authority. This year the prophet Tice makes up its weather notices, and, and there are a great many highly interesting and practical articles on such subjects as Jersey cattle and short-horses, butter-making, the culture of small fruits, tobacco culture, manures, Patrons of Husbandry, co-operative trade, weather forecasts, domestic recipes, etc.,, together with thwusaal budget of anec dotes. Everybody ought to keep this reliable old almanac hanging up by the mantel piece for referenqe. Its price la only ten cents.
