THE RENSSELAER HOUSE.

The Republican primary election comes off to-morrow. , ! f o^7"We have had another glorious rain this forenoon! which commenced at daylight. ; Rev. Mr. Livermore, of Chicago, preaches at the Court House next Saturday night. -■ Benjamin F. Downing will please accept our thanks for the first watermellon of the season. f oi/~Potatoeß are selling her at seventyfive cents per bushel; eggs, six cents per dozen; blackberries, five cents per quart. | is selling at this place for $3 per hundred, at the Logansport mills at $2, and in Chicago at $4 per barrel. In the latter place white wheat commands 90 to i>3 cents. j fps” The jury in the cattle case of Dougherty vs. Martin retired on Thursday morning. Th ey remained out übtil eleven o’clock at bight without finding a verdict, when they \Vere discharged. , n , Messrs. Hammond have just burnt a fresh kiln of bricks, at their yard, two miles south of Rensselaer, on the Lafayette road, and are prepared to furnish them in any quantity. ' Harding presented us with a* penknife yesterday which is of as good njatefial and polish as any we ever saw. If aiiy one wants a good knife, or anything else Whatever in his line 7 we recommend them to give him a call.’ 1 Westville Herald has ceased to exist. We learn from the last number that frjend Powell, its editor, will immediately commence the publication of a new paper at Laporte, Republican in politics, to be called the Herald. Success to him. advertisement of Mr. Harding, announcing himself as an independent candidate for selling more goods for $1 than aijy other merchant in town, is copied by mhny of our exchanges as a specimen of shrewdness not often met with. Wi gmore, the watchmaker, desires us to say that he will stay here but five days longer. Those who have clocks, witches or jewelry to repair, please take nqtice. He expects to visit here again in a feV weeks, of which he will give due notice. Hlswork seems to give general satisfaction.

As it has been rumored that friend Babb was about to close up the above-named hduse, and retire to private life on a farm, he desires us to say that it is incorrect, and thht he will “keep open house until the last day in the afternoon.” This will be good news to the occasional guests of the RensgeInfer House, who are so accustomed to the good-humored faces of the host and hostess, and the bounteous table always set before thfe hungry and weary.
