FIRE SALE! SBOOO Stock of Merchandise • • PORTER & YEOMAN, Rensselaer, Ind. Tuesday morning, Jan* 26th, the large store building occupied by Porter & Yeoman was destroyed by fire, and their immense stuck of unsurpassed merchandise was partially saved by being hurriedly carried into the street. These goods are but slightly damaged, none injured by fire, water or smoke, though somewhat mussed. Some are slightly soiled by the snow, boxes and wrappers broken, etc. No better stock of goods is to be found anywhere.

However, the people at Hastings left the call open and have frequently urged the matter since then and at last, on account of the ill-health of Mrs. Paradis and upon the advice of her physician, it was decided that the call sL be accepted. The pastorate of tin Kcv, Mr. Paranis has been a successful one in every particular. Aside from the large number of accessions to the membership of the church, between fifty and sixty in number, the most notable event was the building of a fine brick church, costing SIO,OOO, which is almost free from debt. The Rev. Mr. Paradis and his estimable wife enjoy to an unusual extent the love and esteem of the congregation, and their departure is extremely regretted. The farewell sermon was preached on January 31.

Remington.

Remington was visited with another excellent snow storm Monday night, the “beautiful” having fallen to a depth of about four inches. It did not avail much however as the weather turned warm, the result being that it was pretty generally melted away before it could be utilized for sleighing purposes. There is a great deal of corn coming into this market at present, and has been for some time past, but the price of corn is not yet satisfactory, even if confidence was restored. The last price so far offered being 17} cents per bushel, or 7} cents less than it costs to raise it. Yet our people are compelled to sell at these ruinous prices iii order to protect their little remaining credit. We are patiently awaiting that promised prosperity, “immediately after the restoration pf confidence.” Attorney Yeoman went over to Rensselaer on business with the County Clerk last Monday and on his return home, he had another application placed on the inside of his left cheek, to re move a smali portion of the cancer in his face, which had not been removed by the two first applications, The medicine is very strong, and Mr Yeoman says that woids fail to ex press the pain and punishment caused by the medicine. He says that he thinks the last ves tige of the cancer is now removed. We trust this is true. Remipgton will be supplied this year with the greatest amount and the finest ice ever put up here. Messrs. Denham & Broudie, J. W. Carron, Hon. Robt. Parker, Geo. D. Meyer and several others, have their ice-houses now stored with ice

that ranges in thickness from 9 to 12 inches, and if is as clear as crystal. Owing to the Stringency in the money market, our merchants are doing but little business. People have but little money, and for that reason they buy nothing but the actual necessities of life. This state of affairs makes it dull for the merchants. They are probably running behind, as it costs as much to pay rent, and keep up other expense- in dull times as it does when - « ri* flush.
