SMALL TALK.

—Theatre to-night. —Sweet cider at R. E.Spencer A Co’a —A protracted meeting will be commenced at the M. E. church next Sabbath evening. —The eheapet holiday presents ean be foutHTat P. J. Sears A Son's, in the Makeever building. * —A. little Nclittd of Mr. and MrsNewton Imee, disci of membranus croup, at their residence, Tuesday evening. —“Zepheniah Berehonikoffer” has engaged to write a number of articles for the Republican under the caption of “Persoual Opinions,” to which we invite the attention of our readers. —Mr. John F. Warren and M iss Carrie L. Trussell being encircled by the silken cord of love submitted their willing necks to the burden of the matriinouial yoke on Christmas day—Rev. Mr. Wood officiating. —Mrs- Margaret Thompson, wife of Dr. John Thompson, deceased, died on Tuesday morning, in this place, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. Samuel Hemphill, aged 76 years. The funeral will take'plaoe this (Thursday) afternoon at one o’clock. —Dr. Washburn canvassed one day this week among the Republican business men of this place, to dscertain the popular choice for President. The following is the result: Grant. 3-1; Sherman, 14; Blaiue, 11; Colfux, 1; no choice, 17. —The finest and cheapest lot of Furniture ever exhibited in Rensselaer is now on sale at F. J. Sears & Son’s new store in the Makeever building. Bureaus, bedsteads, chairs, rockers, tables, stands, looking-classes, picture you had better go immediately. —H. C- Craft, Esq., of Delphi, was i in town the forepart of this week, circulating around among his numerous ; friends. He was one of the leading spirits in the construction ofthelndi- | anapolis, Delphi & Chicago railroad, and is still chuck full of public enterprise. —The I. O. O. F.’s elected the following persons to office, last Tuesday evening, who will be installed next Tuesday evening: Geo. Bigier, N. G.; L. B. Warner, V. G ; C. C. Starr, Sec’y; L. C. Grant, Treasurer; M. L. Spitler, Jaa. Yeoman, Chas. H. Price, Trustees.

—Mr. Stephen S. Barnes, of Fowler, Ind., and Miss Emma Phillips, of this I place, were married on Christinas day at the residence of the bride’s parents, by Rev. Mr. Halstead. TheocI casion was happily celebrated and the loving twain received the congratula- | tions and good wishes of a host of friends. - . —Shelby Grant, the superintendent poor form, liad'a little experience the other day with pet wolves and coal oil (hat he does not care to repeat. He. lubricated their backs with this illuminating liquid for the purpose of re- | moving certain pestiferous inhabij tan to, which so far had the desired efj feet, but time proved that the remedy j was worse than the disease. Result, one dead wolf and two wauting to die. —A new aud handsome street lamp : was this week susiiemled in front of j the Makeever bhikliiig. But what ; benefit can be derived from street j lamps if they are not kept trimmed and burning when their service is most needed. Possibly it would be j well for the corporation to bear the ex- • neuse of the oil of certain latnps and ! require their owners tokeepithem in repair so that they may illuminate the pathway of nocturnal pedestrians ! when the uights are dark. —The “ship came over” to several [ parties at the M. E. church, Christ- ' mas eve. Amom; the other good and f useful things comj>osing the cargo, j were an overcoat, a hat, pair of over- ! shoes and a watch-chain for the pas- , tor; for all of which he is truly grateful. By way of explanation we will say-that the officers and teachers of the j Sabbath-school fitted out a common row-boat with masts and sails, to represcut a sailiug vessel, and in it were stored the presents} designed for the children. At the Chiistian church the little folks rallied ’round a Christmas tree and were will pleased with the benevolent manner iu which good Santa Claus.bestowed his gifts. —Mr. Tlios. H. Hiuer, so long the ticket and freight agent at this place, received orders last week to take charge of the passenger train as conductor. ForAhe’past few months the trains on this road have been run very irregularly and we presume it was principally to obviate this difficulty the change was made. Mr. Hiuer has been engaged in the various departments of railroading since boyhood and is familiar with every branch of the business. He is a practical locomotive engineer, and in case anything gets out of order about the iron horse he knows just how to rectify it. Mr. H. D. Masteller, who succeeds him at the depot, is an expert “lightning slinger” and that duty will be added to bis labors when the line is completed. ; -»

—Jasper county winds play curious pranks occasionally, and evidently are no res pec tors of persons. Our poetical pencil in describing a scene witnessed some days since, seems disposed to go off in rhymes, and to gratify its whims it shall tell the story as it chooses: She stood at the gate in the even, So neatly and tastefully dressed, Hut the bow that adorned he fair bosom Seemed troubled and illy at rest; The winds were so eager to seize it 1 Her efforts so hopeless to save! As it rose on the wings of the breezes It a saucy adieu seemed to wave. The zephyrs were purer for bearing The beautiful ribbon they caught; The air was more fragrant for sharing The incense that rose from her thought; Tho’ we know not on what field or Woodland Her pink-tinted beauty was tossed. Vexation gave life to expression ;, 'J Because of the treasure she lost. •? Bnt why should this fngitiro ribbon With the breezes choose rather to go And be tossed by the winds at their pleasure . Than to dwell on a bosom of snow ? Perhaps her yonng heart is too loving— Perhaps she some prejudice shows — As lovers will envy positions. And bows may grow jealous of beaux. Though we never may hear her confession, And never onr advice extend. The zephyrs which robbed her fair bosom Passed right by the heart of her friend. Tho* we know not on what Held or woodland Her pink-tinted beauty was tossed, ; The world has gained sweetness and beauty Because of the treasure she lost. —Buy your figs, dates, candies, etc., for the holidays, at Spencer A Co’s.

—» Extremes” at the Opera House, to-night —The*Jasper CireeitO»«rt wiH convene next Monday. —**LltH« May,” at gpsncer A Co’a, la the best- cigar in town. —Superintendent Nowels and several teachers of this county are attending the State Teachers’ Association'at Indianapolis, this week. —Mr. John C. Sigler and family, of Wheeler, Ind., are here, sending the holidays with George Sigler aud family and other /aiends. —II. W. Snyder and W. H. Pierce, attorneys at law, at Remington, Jud., were in town, Monday, oh business connected with their profession.

—The editor’s wife and daughter took the early train Wednesday for a protracted visit among relatives and friends at Peru, Rochester, Courier and Bunker Hill. —Hon. Fred Hoover, of near Remington-, this county, made us a very pleasant call, Monday. He is one of the notable prison directors for the Northern penitentiary, aud enjoys quite a reputation as a successful politician in the Democratic ranks. With the addition of the Standard's prepHuksubscription list and the regular increase in the number of subscribers to the Republican, we shall feel justified )n charging ten cents per line tor advertising loon Is appearing among the reading matter In either of the “Small Talk” columus. Locals inserted eleswhere will cost but five cents per line, except those published for a longer time than one mouth, in which case a liberal deduction will be made.

—After the telegraph line is completed to this place an effort will be made among the business men of Rensselaer to raise tueaus for the construction of a dine between the depot aud this office, for the convenience of our town j»eople and for our own accommodation. The junior proprietor of the Rkpublican is capable of conversing with parties at a distance through the medium of electricity and will perform that work for the privilege of having the iine connected with this office. The cost will be about S4O. —Ou Christmas day, His Honor, E. T. Harding, united the loving hearts and hands of fcfr. Washington W. Wright and Mrs. Mary Webber in the holy bands of wedlock. Both are mutes, but perhaps none the less capable 6f enjoying the sweets of married bliss because of their inability to call each other endearing names or occasionally indulge in cuss words. Each have heretofore sailed as mates iu the macitai barque upon the stormtossed sea of matrimony,and therefore better to make the present voyage a successful one. —Readers will doubtless notice the improvement made in the appearance of the professional cards In the first column of this page. That’s what’s called ‘‘city style.” In time the general appearance of the Republican will be changed for the better, bui we expect to ‘‘hiake haste slowly.” Almost every- person will observe the difference between papers mechanically arranged and neatly printed and those set up iu job typo with the iuk daubed on. Inasmuch as the character and business enterprise of towns and., counties tire judged abroad by she appearaueeuud general make-up of. their newspapers it is important that they make a creditable showing. —Runs Howland, the proprietor of the Rensselaer Marble Works, has just completed a Tennessee marble monuifteut, to be placed over the grave of Grace Bedsore, a little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Price, that is a model of beauty and excellence. As a worker in marble Mr. Howland has but few equals, and his new designs aud tiie quality of the material used, make him the most desirable persou to deal with. There are several families in tills county that have representatives in the spirit world, whose graves are not honored with anything to iuark the resting place of their bodies. Those expecting to make purchases of this kind should call at the Rensselaer Marble Works.

—Several teachers who are receiving the Rkpublican through the order of Mr. Nowels, the county superintendent, suppose we are sending the paper to certain Individuals, expecting to collect pay from them. That is a mistake. We don’t do business that way. The Republican is sent to no one until it is ordered, and not theu if not .paid in advance or we have A reasonable assurance that the money will be forthcoming in due season. Neither will we scud the paper after it lias been ordered discontinued. Am publishers we do not inteud to play the role of a beggar or persuade men to subscribe ‘‘for sweet charity’s sake,” nor for the purpose of up the party organ,” but we do expect to make theREPUBLicAN so valuable and interesting, and therefore so desirable that every citizen of the town and county will consider it as iudispensibie as either of the common necessaries of life.

—Of course our orthodox logs wouldn’t? dance if we wanted them to, which Is the principal reason for our not attending the masquerade ball given at the Opera House, Christmas evening. But a friend who enjoys the light fantastic was there and furnishes a brief report. The attendance exceeded that ofauy similar gathering in this place and possibly was more eujoyable. The music was furnished byProf.Lathrop’a band of Delphi, and that part of the entertainment was entirely satisfactory, as indeed were all other parts. The costumes comprised a very complete variety, ranging from the fastideous Qurker, with his broad brimed bat, stiff collar and white neck-lie, to the comical clown and “ Barnum’s what is it?” “Ginerel” Hidee, a West Point cadet, aud the ‘‘American citizen of African descent” were there, but to the regret of many, that other gentleman of National reputation, “John Chinaman,” did not put in an appearance. Besides these were representatives of the ancient courts, Ac. Among the ladies the diversity was not so great thoguh their disguise was seemingly more complete. Amongthe strangers present were Mr. Kinehart, of Delphi, Miss Failing, of Monticeilo, Mr. Frank Fuiwiler, of Peru, and one or twoother persons whose names were not secured. —Prepared mince meat only 12J cts. per pound at R. E. Spencer A Co’s.

, —Theatre to-night —Freah tub oysters at R. E. Spencer 4 Co’s- Try a quart or two. —Grandpa and Grandma Benjamin left here Tuesday morning to make a protracted visit with their children and frieuds in ami around Lafayette. —Mrs. Thos. McCoy received one of those elegant Domestic sewing machines sold by W. H. A C. Rhoades, as a Christmas present. Her hhsband did it. —Daniel B. Miller is doing quite an extensive business as an insurance agent. He represents good companies and is prompt, reliable aud correct in all his dealings. —William B. Austin, of the Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Ind., is home on a holiday visit. He is a scholarly appearing gentleman and possesses an army of friends. —Frank A. Fulwiler, of Peru, deputy auditor of Miami county, came over last week to spend Christmas with the junior proprietor of the Nowels House and his handsome bride. —Dr. F. P. Bitters, of Akron, Indiana, arrived here Tuesday noon, to engage in the practice of medicine in partnership with Dr. Washburn. His high qualifications as a scholar, a gentleman and medical student will soon win tor him an enviable position among the good people of Rensselaer and Jus{>er county. He has been engaged in the practice of medicine for some time, and so far his labors have been crowned with unusual success.

—Mr. C. W. Clifton, who edited the Poultry Department of the late Standard, and Is proprietor of the Iroquois Poultry Yards, presented us last week with a handsome cock and hen of the BulTCochin species. Mr. Clifton is the most experienced and extensive‘‘fowl dealer” in Northwestern Indiana, aud so far has made a success of it. The varieties now on hand for sale are Buff and White Cochins, White Leghorns, Light and Dark Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks, Houdans and B. B. R, Game Bantams. Eggs in season. Farmers who wish to improve their stock of poultry should give him a call. —A Mrs. Douglas, of White county, whil£ on a visit to her son-in-law George Kinser, in Kaukakee township, >this county, last week, to the great sorrow of her daughter aud relatives generally, was again attacked with a fit of Insanity. .She was taken to Monticello and placed in charge of the proper officers who secured her return to the asylum at IndianapolisSite is quite advanced in years, aud the distortion of mind is the result of bodily iuflirinuties and severe family bereavements, having lost some three or four husband and many other relatives and friends by death. During one of her seasons of iusauity she escaped ftpm her keepers one cold night aud took to the woods, with no covering for her emaciated body but her night clothes. Before being sectored she fell and fractured one ofdier wrists, which, under the circumstances, adtltfd very much to her misfortuues. Her great desire during her more rational moments is to ‘‘shuttle off this mortal coil” and go to dwell witli the loyed ones gone before—For the past two or three Sabbaths many of the lads and lassies of Rensselaer have spent a good part of the suereil day gliding,over the frozen bosom of the placid Iroquois, and sometimes becoming enraptured with the pleasue of the occasion and the agility of motion, they continued their sports until long after the queen of night Jiad drawn her sable curtains over the scenes of earth. Last Sabbath night, at tl|e slumbering hour of fen, one of our worthy denizens, whose daughter had not yet sought her downy couch, arose in liis wrath and sallied forth to seek the erring child and retuiud her of the duty she owed her loving parents and the impropriety of remaining away from home during unseasonable hours without their sanction or consent. Without offering a word of excuse or defense she marched ! leaving her male attendant petrified with fear and disappointment, who, having so long treasured in his heart the anticipacious of pleasure that ‘‘seeing her bomb” would afiord, bowed his head in grief, and—and kept a safe distance from the old man. —The following persons were elected at the last meeting of the Bine Ribbon Society as officers of that organization : Chas. H. Price, President; Sampson Erwin, Ist VicePresident; Charles Hazard,2d vice-. President; J. D. Cowdin, Secretary; J. C. Morgan, Corresponding Secretary; Slyvester Healy, Treasurer.
