REMINGTON RAMBLES.

L. Riley &Co. are contemplating giving up the marble business. A want of time to it the proper attention, is the cause. Will Price, a brother to Charley, is now on the sick-list. He.is not sufficiently ill to be confined to the bouse, but enough to make him look miserable. The popular temperance drams, “Ten Nights in a Bar-room,” will be rendered at Exchange Hall, next Friday evening, by a troupe from Reynolds. Owing to the great labor of moving and setting up the new 1 presses,the Reporter failed to come out last week. Good things fail occasionally despite to utmost human indurance. The .protracted meeting at the M.E. church was well attended last week and is continued through the present week. The United Brethren also commenced a series of public services last Saturday, Several of our young men are getting ready to emigrate to Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and other States. Unlike rainy of those who preceded them they purpose starting by daylight and leave no heart-broken creditors behind. Still another man exists -who deems bis moral character sufficiently pore to obtain a license to make drunkands,, ruin families and -increase tlie number of paupers. An application is to go before the qommissioners at their with th'at object in view. will be very likely to something to his disparagement at that time. *. ■ Tuesday morning opened out with a little more excitement than usuall ' First, Barney Patton and Dan Coleman had a slight “unpleasantness,” j which resulted disastrously for Bar- [ ney. The usual beauty of his face 1 is bow enhanced by sundry patches ofr court plaster. Two hours later | James G. Knight r forensa* of the J Hathaway Elevator, got entangled in the belts and came out with a leg broken, just above the ankle. As predicted in my last the hard roads of the past week have been improved to that extent that the grain houses are filled to overflowing with corn, and other places of storage pressed into the service. Downing’s bay barn now does duty as a granary. The average Hoosier detest* unloading grain with a scoop, and until the z warehouses can be cleared out a little, so the d»mpß can be used, corn-haalir.g will not boom.

A yuong man waa heard to re mark th* *ther day, “I am going to leave thi* d—-d town and go where j I shall aeve* see or hear anything l of Remington or a person who lives iin It.” Poor Remington I What will ahe do when be lakes bis departure? His preaence ia all that make* lifo here endurable or poaaible. Woe! woefto the stricken community frdm which he takes his handsome face and form diviue. Seriously, there are in this, a* well aa in other commnnitiea.one er two chaps who teem to be impressed with the idea that the world was created and now exists for the express purpose of doing homage to their beauty and importance. If they want toknowjpat bow much thev will be misted when they are • . ' . ’. i . . into a pan of milk .... dibcover th* holes after the same are withdrawn. W***
