A number of Kentland citizens were in Chicago last week for the purpose of interesting capitalists in the construction of a new railroad from Hammond to the mineral springs near Attica, or the coal fields south of there, the projected road to cross the Pennsylvania line at Kentland.

A band of gypsies, who made themselves a nuisance here last week, were egged by a number of boys, who were encouraged by some of the business men, it is said.

He returned to Rensselaer on the next train and notified the banks of his loss and stopped the payment of the notes, after which he again departed for the west. Mr. Turner is wealthy so that his loss will not especially inconvenience him. According to a Lafayette paper, A. Lewis, the cigar manufacturer, is contemplating moving his factory to Lafayette. He is endeavoring to form a stock company with a capital of $12,000, one-third of which amount Mr. Lewis will take. If successful in floating the stock the factory will be removed to Lafayette. Mr. Lewis has beenlocated here for some years and hasregularly employed a number of bands, and his removal would be a loss to the town. The cause for such removal could largely have been prevented by the merchants pushing the sale of his goods.
