Remington Notes.

John Barnett has been on the sick list for the past week or so, being confined to his bed for the greater portion of the time. The petition to the Board of Town trustees asking for the passage of the curfew ordinaire was presented last Friday evening. The petition was signed by about one hundred and fifty interested persons. After some discussion the prayer of the petitioners was granted, and the town attorney was directed to prepare an ordinance to govern in such cases, for presentation at the next regular meeting of the Board of Town trustees. . Interesting meetings were held in the Christian church last

Sunday the occasions being devoted to the cause of foreign missions. The Sunday school contributed the day’s receipts, amounting to 43.42. The Christian Endeavor Society and the church proper contributed liberally also, so there was no trouble in raising the amount demanded from this church which was 25.00. Sisters Booher and Anderson the latter of Monti - cello were in attendance at all these meetings and both gave interesting talks. Sister Booher filled the regular Sunday evening appointment. Her discourse on the subject of missions was good. These two estimable ladies organized an auxiliary branch of the women’s foreign missionary society here under very flattering auspices, and much good is expected to result therefrom.

James U. Green who has been sick so long does not seem recover so rapidly as his friends would wish. He was however a little better a day or two ago when we last heard from him. Miss Lizzie Green sister of Ed N. Green of this place is afso very sick, at the residence of her brother. She has been very ill for about 3 weeks and does not appear to make any perceptible improvement we hope she soon may recover. Frank Stoudt the horseman has moved from Monticelio back to Remington. He now occupies the Morehead property on North East Railroad street. Mrs. Casey, a widow and the daughter of John Reed of Jordan township died at Long Cliff asylum near Logansport last week very suddenly. The remains were brought to Remington, and buried in the Catholic cemetery near here on Tuesday of that week.

There is considerable amount of moving in this locality this March. The houses here which were empty the forepart of the winter are nearly all now occupied many of these by persons from the country who find'that farming does not pay. •‘The Donation Party” which was given here last Thanksgiving by our young people under the auspices of the ladies of the Christian church will by special request be given again on Saturday evening the 13th inst. This play is highly spoken of, by all who formerly saw it, the parts being all admirably rendered. All are invited to attend. You will get the value of your money. William Warren and his little son of Rensselaer was in Remington last Wednesday, the former on business, while here they paid your correspondent a short visit.

Cleveland is out. McKinley is in. We are glad of the change but what will the Harvest be? For all except those in high places. Mr. and Mrs. Paine went to Chicago last week. When they returned they brought with them the little six months old daughter of Mr. Paine’s adopted sister. The father of the little one died a short time ago and the mother was not expected to live.

Mrs. Hattie Shepherd went to Chicago Monday. She will probably enter a hospital there for treatment. An early ex-president was elected justice of the peace after retiring from Washington. Cleveland need not begin to let his ambition vault itself on that account, though. The early expresident referred to was mentally and morally qualified for the office.—Chicago Dispatch.

A co-operative soceity in Chicago has abolished money. It is only fair to Mr. Cleveland to say that they were greatly assisted by him and his late secretary of the treasury.—Chicago Dispatch.
