All parties interested are requested to be present next Sabbath. —The girls ought not to complain of time or opportunities. Next year will be leap year, and February contains five Sunday nights. The like will not occur again for nearly a half century. —Only two dollar* and fifty cents of the premiums awarded by the Agricultural society at the last fair remain unpaid. The Secretary will issue orders for these whenever application is made by the persons entitled to them. —A young man who gobbles hash at a Rensselaer hotel not unfrequently repeats the following’laroentation: And always thus since’ I have roved O’er earth, my heart-sores have enlarged; If e’er a waiter-girl I loved. She was the first to be discharged. —Abby Sage Richardson, the queen of the rostrum, will deliver her popular lecture, entitled the ‘ Trio of Poets,” Longfellow, Lowell and Whittier, at the Opera House, neV Monday evening. No lover of poetry or literature should miss this elegant entertainment.

—Dr. J. H. Loughridge has a fine collection of house plants at his office. Among the new arrivals is a stock of pampas grass, received from California. His office also contains many curiosities and relics decidedly Interesting to any person possessing an inquiring mind. —The young man whose admiration of the fish geranium was so wickedly distorted by a kitten, says be not only no longerfinds pleasure in inhaling the -aroma of that once highly-fa-vored plant, but a spirit of revenge wrangles constantly within his bosom for the annihilation of the feline race—Mr. H. D. Masteller and wife moved hery from Rochester, last weekHe expects to perform the double duty of freight and passenger agent at the depot and manipulate the telegraph Instrument as soon as the wires are up. He is an unassuming, gentlemanly fellow and cannot fail to please the public and his employers. —So far during our editorial career in Rensselaer, sensational local news has beeti remarkably rare. No robberies, no fires, no elopements and .no scandals. This is an. unusually wellbehaved town, and, notwithstanding our desire to make the Republican attractive, we shall be pleased to have it remain so. —Mrs. Rebecca Nichols, widow of Geo. Nichols, deceased, died at her home in Barkley township, Monday last, aged 77 years. Funeral services by Rev. Mr. Wood. She was a member of the M. E. church for some forty years, and departed this life fully realizing that she would enjoy the better life in heaven.

—Next year. 1880, will be leap year. The young ladies, however, need not be reminded of this fact. Those who purpose joining in the song of man’s exultation will find the following appropriate chorus decidedly expressive : “We’ll lie for them, We'll cry for them. And if we eould we’d fly for them; We’d anything but die for them.” —Rev; Mr. Wood has-been conducting a revival meeting at Egypt during the past two weeks- Eight persons have been converted and united with the church, and many more are seeking the pardon of their sins. After the protracted effort closes at that place the work of reviving the church and saving sinners will commence here, when every soldier of the Lord will be expected to do his duty. —Eli Perkins’ lecture on the ‘'Philosophy of Fun,” at Starr’s Hall, Monday evening, was largely attended and well received. The audience seemed to be just in the humor to be entertained by his wit and comical illustrations, and Eli rather excelled himself in his efforts to please. His jestures and the modluation of voice have been much improved, and his descensions from the sublime to the ridiculous are now clearly perceptible. The fun-loving citizens of Rensselaer have no fault to find with the lecture association for securing the services of Eli Perkina. —About every week some owner of land bordering the Iroquois river, east of town, takes occasion to offer a verbal protest againta further continuance of the Hopkins mill dam. The complaint is that it causes the water that would otherwise pass down the channel to overflow their fields and render the ground useless. Not'having beard the other side of the question we are not prepared to express an opinion in regard to the right of maintaining this obstruction against the evil it is creating. There has been some talk about investigating this matter before the courts, but possibly it would be just as cheap to raise funds by subscription among those whose lands are Injured by the backwater, and pay the mill-owners for the removal of the dam. —Perhaps it is in accordance with the best interest of Rensselaer and Jasper county to ship out our wheat to foreign ports and ship in flour for home consumption, but to a causual observer the principle does not exhibit a correct financial policy. The manufacture of flour certainly costs no mure here than elsewhere, and the present outlay for freights would form

a large share of tbe miller’s profit*. A* It la the millers at Monticello and Delphi are not only gaining wealth off the bread-eaters of this place bat absorbing a large share as our ready money. Another good steam mil! here besides retaining the means expended for bread-*tuflb would furnish employment for a number of hand*, and add further to tbe business enterprise and population' of Recsselaer. Willey A Bigler’s Opera House will be completed thia week. With one or two exceptions it is the finest publie edifice in Indiana, north of Indianapolis. The main floor and gallery will seat about six hundred persons and a good view of the stage can be obtained from any part of the house. There are three ample dressing rooms, a bagrage room and ticket office, all supplied with the necessary accommodationsand well lighted with gas- Tbe entrance to the main floor is by an easy flight of stairs, and a pair of massive double doors, which swing either nut or in.’JJThere Is also a back stairway which can be, used in case of Are. ' •/., —Last Saturday was the day set apart for tbe reorganisation of the Greenback party in this county. The day was favorable but the Inflation brethren came not, and no one so far as we have been able to learn, was very much surprised at tbe little Interest manifested for the revival of this now almost forgotten financial measure. The fact is, that the Greenback party has not now even a respectable pretext upon which to longer continue its organization and nobody is aware of this fact better than its supporters- Tbe status of the finances is deflnately fixed, resumption is a grand fact and has given to tlie people just such a currency as they need.* The voters of Jasper equnty who acted with the Greenback party during its brief career, will re-

ceive a cordial welcome to the Republican ranks whose principles otter equal justice to all men. —The question naturally suggests itself to every new-comer, why are two or three of tbe churches in Rensselaer without reglarly installed pastors? Is the membership too few iu numbers to support ministers ? Too poor in pocket to pay for the gospel? Or too indifferent as to theirsouls’ salvations and the promulgation of Christianity to maintain these places of worship. Every public-spirited citizen deplores the present inactivity of the churches on account of tbe impression that goes abroad and the lack of Christianity and Christian principles inculcated here. With a proper effort on the part of church members and church-goers, it is very evident that the gospel would be preached twice each Sabbath at each of the now vacant church edifices, and thereby secure other means of grace. If but half of the citizens of Rensselaer who would be benefited by live churches would give half as much attention and half the amount of means they expend for personal adornments, our public places of worship would be well supported and largely attended.

Local Gleanings. Pat Donnelley, Dec. 15, —a ton. J. S. Wigmore, of Monticello, was on our street* last Tuesday. Geo. Morgan want* the marshal to impound the straying cow*. Hanging Grove would be a good place for a store and a doctor. F. J. Sears & Son made their first sale of a coffin last Monday morning. • Contractor Wood has done some more work on his house west of the bridge. ' Six hundred chairs will be required to seat Willey & Sigler’s opera house. Jack Yeoman is paying twenty cents per bushel for soft corn to feed his eattle. A. P. Rowen and James Ryan, of Union township, have been improving their dwellings. Cotton & McCoy’s are putting up a new office and a new set of scales near their elevator. Alec McDonald certainly deserves an increase of pension if any one does in Jasper county.

John Pullins, of Barkley township, has recently lost two bright little boys with diphtheria. The persons who bottled up their laughter at Perkins’ fun, Munday evening, will never grow fat. Charley Harditjg and Charles Bruse have started a store in Hurley’s store room in Hurley town. Theodore Hurley’s wife and daughter are still very sick. His son -in-law Henry Steel is recovering. Captain Frank Babcock has accepted an invitation to address the Kentland Republican club the 27th. They have leveled up the side walks in front of Percupile’s and Imea* steres. Good. Let a lew more try. The Christian Sunday school will have a Christmas tree. Louis Hollingsworth has been chosen to deliver the Christmas address. John Makeever has purchased a part of the brick for his hotel to be built in the spring. Ho promises that it will be the finest in town. Settle up all your little bills with the Wash woman, dress maker, laborer, merchant, doctor and editor and make it a “Merry Christmas” indeed for all. Win. Washburn, of Jordan township, has put his fifiishing touches on bis mammoth corn oribs. They will hold 5,000 bushels, but he has but four to pnt in them this year. The Surgeon of the army has asked for forty more clerks to assist him in the work of his office, particularly that pertaining to the pension and record division. If you notice a discouraged and

drssatrefled look on the face of year wife, you can eootribnta it to the fact that she attended Perkins’ lecture and did not laugh or yon have* been buying green wood lately. Tbe public schools in Rensselaer are orar crowded. The trustees ought to take the preliminary steps towards building a new house at as early a time as possible. Dr. W. L. Ham ar just received a letter from hi* brother, Will Hamar, who was running an engine from Little Rock, Ark ,to Texarkanias, Texas, stating that he had recently sustained a fracture of one of his ankles', and other injuries, about two weeks ago, caused by hi* engine striking a horse and then jumping the track. His injuries y ill disable him for some time.

Opening of the New Opera House.

The new Opera House of Willey A Bigler will be opened on Monday eve, Dec. 22. 1879, by Abby Sage Richardson, who will deliver her famous and highly interesting lecture entitled the “Trio of Poets; Longfellow, Lowell and Whittier.”

For Secretary of State.

From the La Forte Her al< I. We made mention a few weeks ago of the fact that tbe triends of Horace E. James, late editor of the Rensselaer Union, would present his name before th* State Republican nominating convention for Secretary of State. Mr. James has a splendid record. He was four year* in the army, we understand, as a private soldier, and has been eleven years in active editorial life, and during that time stood at the head of the fraternity in Northern Indiana. He is at present a member of the Republican State Committee, chairman of the Tenth Congressional District Republican Committee, and postmaster at Rensselaer. In all relations of life Mr. Janies has occupied an honorable and consistent position. As a newspaper writer he is able, cultured and gentlemanly. As a state officer he would be found capable and honest. As a candidate he would be formidable, especially where he has long been known. Northwestern Indian a has rarely, if ever, been remembered in the division of the spoils, and a man coming up from the respectable county of Jasper, which never failed to give from 300 to 500 Republican majority, ought certainly to be considerately treated. We hope that Mr. James will receive the support at the convention that his merit and worth entitle him to. From tbe Logansport Journal. The Journal notices that the name of Horace E. James, of Rensselaer, is frequently and prominently mentioned in connection with the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, and considers it an excellent suggestion. Mr. James is a gentleman of fine attainments und high character, and possesses rare qualifications for the position named. As an editor he has had large experience in public affairs, and an extended knowledge of the administrative needs of Indiana. lie is an ardent Republican worker, and in the recent “tirn°s that tried men's souls,” gave proof of the sincerity of his belief by serving his country in the ranks of the Union army. His nomination would be creditable to the Republican party of the State, and very gratifying to his hosts of Republican friends in Northern Indiana.

The people after all see very little of General Grant as he flies through the country. Only the favored few get so much as glimpse at the man whom all delight to honor. The principal feature of every reception seems to be to lunch or dine, as if the great business of life, especially the life of a great man, is to stuff. How much more satisfactory to the people would have been that trip from Chicago to Indianapolis, if it had occupied eight hours instead of four! The train should have stopped ten minutes at each county seat, giving the General an opportunity to exhibit himself on the rear platform and a few hundred people the chance to shake his hand. Some sandwiches, with some sweitzer case and bologqa, taken on the train between stations, would have served the essential purpose of a lunch just as well as Blue Point oysters on the half shell. Our plea is in behalf of the people who don’t jet tickets. They should all be permitted to see tho-hero at a rate of speed less than fifty miles an hour. In short the exhibitors should allow Grant to travel as an elephant rather than a caged lion.—Peru Republican. Although not so intended, the financial recommendations in the president’s message are happily acting as a brake on both political parties in congress and will prevent any tinkering with the finances. The 1 republicans promptly sat down-up-on the president’s recommendation to retire the greenbacks, without even the formality of a caucus. They thus take the popular side, and, of oource the democrats dare not take the other, and have wisely decided that the policy of the demoerts on finances should be one of masterly inactivity. So, all in all, everything has turned out for the best so far as the country isconcerne<L—South Bend Tribune.

IS-' Taxpayers will find it greatly totlieir advantage to call early and avoid mistakes incident to the rush of business during the last few days; and those who have their tax complicated, such as undivided estates, are especially requested to call when we are at leisure, as it requires considerable time to make tbe division and fill out separate receipts. HENRY I. ADAMS, Treasurer Jasper County. Rensselaer, Indiana. December 18, 1879. .

IRO QUOIS.

A prominent Republican in Mig*is*ippi, for some time a member of .Congress, in a private letter to a friend in Chicago, indulges in the following lively writing: WhenjGrant is posted, his head i* always level, and if he is nominated we will buckle on our armor and go into the fight in old-fashioned style; bntwe won’t strike a lick for any Miss Nancy s, nor for any man of the icicle kind, either. We want a man with blood in him as well as brains —some one who is neither too saintly nor too cowardly to strike back. The mbst human thing any of the apostles ever did was when Peter lammed away with his cheese-knife and cut off the fellow’s ear; and though he was reproved, because It was not in accordance with the “plan oi salvatiofi,” I notice he got the best place up yonder, and, so long as he keeps the keya, I’ll wanrant he’ll never go back on a poor devil for making a square fight.

HOLIDAY GIFTS. ‘•They are the noblest benefits, and sink deepest in man, v of which when he doth think, the memory delights him.” Persons desiring photos and colored pittures for holiday presents, should leave their orders as soon as possible, as work to be done nice can not be hurried.
