SPEC lAI COR RESI’ON D E N C E. The Christian assembly closed its meeting at Fountain park last Sunday evening. The meetings were nearly all well attended, and much interest was manifested in them throughout the entire session. There were several accessions to the church. The attendance at the Sunday school • last Sunday morning, which was led by Mr. Morgan of Fowler, an excellent superintendent of the Christian Sunday school of Fowler, was about 400 i in all—the scholars enrolled be-! ing 842 and visitors about 6b. j The Methodist Sunday school of; Remington were nearly all pres | ent. Old Settlers' day. Thursday of last week, was well attended, and the people present were, much edified by reminiscences of; the early settlement of this: part of the country by John Ade of Kentland. S. P. Thompson of Rensselaer, Rev.; Mr. Lilly. Mr. Hollingsworth of ; Benton county and others. Hon. Anson Wolcott of Wolcott also made a quite lengthy speech on the finances of this country. He dwelt especially on the great crime of 1878, when silver was demonetized b,y the republican party led by John Sherman and others. He had no hope for the restoration of silver to where it was before it was demonetized by either of the old political parties. The only hope was in the great mass of the American people, who should arise iti their majesty and might and do this thing. Until they do so it will never be done, Mr. Wolcott is a rirui friend of .silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. and does not think it necessary for this government to wait on the will and pleasure of England or any other European country to take action first. Mr. Wolcott is right. Ladies' day at the park was fairly well attended, and the people there assembled were well entertained by fluent talks from the good sisters who favored the grounds and the occasion with their welcome presence. This was Friday. Saturday was devoted to the cause of temperance, and in the afternoon the Hon. Mr. Nicholson of Kokoma, the author of the so-called Nicholson temperance local option law, made an address to a fairly large audience. The writer did not hear his speech, but has been told that Mr. Nicholson is an excellent talker, whatever effect his law may have on the cause of temperance in Indiana. An affidavit was tiled Monday before Esquire G. B. Chappell against Chauncey McCulley, a young man of Remington, charging him with assault and battery on the person of Mamie Miller. A warrant was issued, and young McCulley pleading guilty he was lined 81 and costs, after the court had heard the evidence of the injured party and also a statement from the defendant. An excellent rain commenced falling here Monday morning about daylight and continued most of the forenoon. It was greatly needed and will do much good to the corn crop as well as meadows. There was not enough to have any effect on the dry wells of this neighborhood, but it has proved a great boon to the fair association and those attending the fair, as it put a quietus on the dust, which was four inches deep between Remington and the grounds, caused by the large travel during the assembly meetings. The prospects are .that the fair will be largely attended and the exhibitions good. There are' a great -manj’ good! horses on the grounds, and the
entries are ail tilled in the various speed rings. The other department- are showing up quite well. The temperance league of this plaee is circulating remonstrances against the granting of liquor license to James F. Ellis, who has an application pending in the commissioner's court and which will be heard next week. The remonstrants are not meeting with such success as they desire, and they wii: probably fail to receive the signatures of the required number of legal voters in this township to defeat Mr. Ellis under the Nicholson law. Tnere Is a great amount of oats and corn being delivered at the Remington warehouses, notwithstanding the low price for both cereals.
Joseph Vogel, who has been dangerously ill with fever and rlux for the last four weeks, has so far recovered as to be able to attend his boot and shoe store a part of the time. His many friends are glad to see him about again. Perkins & Worden, who recently bought out the blacksmithing business of Bowman & Heines, are having a fair run of business. We wish them prosperity. as they are both deserving men and good mechanics. A drive was taken over West Jordan township last Friday. The outlook for a good corn crop is encouraging. The Marvin & Tilden Company are playing this week in Durand hall to fairly good and well pleased audiences. J. 0. B. McDougle was severely injured by being kicked by a vicious horse last Monday. While the hurt is very painful it is not dangerous.
NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS

Of the manuscripts left unpublished by Robert Louis Stevenson at his death (not many, by the way >, the first to reach the public is a collection of very original ••Fables" in the September number of McClure's Magazine. One of them isaconversation between John Silver and “Cap'n" Smollett, of "Treasure Island." which is as delicious in its way as anything those worthies do or say in "Treasure Island" itself. In the same number Anthony Hope relates another adventure of the evercharming Princess Osra. an encounter in the forests of Zeuda with an attractive and most courteous highwayman. There is also a romantic tale of court intrigue by Stanley J. Weyrnau, and a new Drumtochty story by lan Maclaren, the author of "Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush." Elizabeth Stuart Phelps supplies an admiring review of an earlier story of lan Maclaren's, "Afterwards." which appeared in McClure's last spring. Of the illustrated articles. Clevland Mos-
j fett's interesting account of the artist Will H. Low, and his work, with the beautiful reproductions of drawings and paintings, must be mentioned first; but. in the nature of things, a greater thrill is to be derived from Mr. Garrett ; P. Serviss’s account of the ex- ; periences of an amature mountaineer in climbing the Matterj horn. In addition to these, there are authoritative articles-, with plenty of pictures, on the AmerI ’ca'scup and the contests over it, ; past and soon to come; an account of John Kelly's resuscitation of ; Tammany as a political power, from the dissolution in which it had been left by Tweed; a story from the Pinkerton archives of a long-mysterious express robbery; and an account by “Edmund jKirke." derived largely from ; Garfield himself, of Garfield's ride at Chickamauga up a per- ! fectly exposed hillside, under the j enemy's constant fire.

It is reported the colored population in the vicinity of Rensselaer will pitch their tent in McKillip’s grove on the 29th and hold a camp-meeting.—Wolcott Enterprise. As Rensselaer has only a “colored population" of • two, and these are in other businesses, the above report is a canard, and this place desires, in justice to itself and its colored citizens, to shake off all responsibility.
