—Possibly you may hear some interesting railroad news within * week or twugj , ' —Dr. Washburn b absent this week looking up unsettled business in Cass and Pulaski counties. —Mr. and Mrs. Rial Benjamin returned last Friday from a flre-weeks visit among friends at Lafayette and other points. —The city of Wabash is soon to be illuminated with electricity, from the court bouse tour. Be sure her al us will find her out. * s —Sheriff Robinson has received the tickets and tally sheets necessary for the constitional election to be held on the first Monday in April. —Flat-cap, legal-cap. fools cap, letter and note writing paper on sale very cheap at the postoffice. No better quality of goods in the market. ’ —An average of eighty wagon loads of corn have been received daily for the past week, at the depot, and it hasn’t been a very good time for corn either.

—Soon after the Republican congressional nominatiing convention we expect to have Bro. McEwen’s Democratic scalp dangling in our wlgwom. Until then we dare not put on the war paint. —The Republican now has a larger and better paying subscription list than was ever accumulated by any other paper in this place, and we confindently expect to add two hundred more names to the list before the first of July next. ? —Miss Nettie Everson died at the residence of her parents in this place, on Saturday last, aged about sixteen years. She possessed more than,average intelligence, was discreet in deportment and every way well calculated to enjoy a long and useful life, but death plucked this fragrant flower at its budding to bloom in a brighter world. » —Alfred J. Knight, in his popular entertainment, “ Historical Costume Impersonations,” will delight the literary people of Rensselaer and vicinity, at Starr’s Hall, next Thursday evening, Feb. 19th. The recitation of the “Editor’s Guest,” the impersonation of “Sbylock,” and the rendition of “Miriky’a Conversion,” are alone worth the price of admission. His entertainments are pathetic and humorous to a degree tliat catches overy auditor, and those who cannot cry must laugh.

—Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Clift, at Remington, have issued invitations announcing the marriage of their daughter, Evarf with Mr. J. C. Morgan, of this place, which will occur at the M. E. church, in Remington, next Sabbath, at 7:80 p. m. The Republican extends its best wishes for the happiness and general prosperity of the contracting parties. We have not the honor of the prospective bride’s acquaintance, but report says she is an amiable lady and worthy of the position she is about to occupy. Mr. Morgan is a knight of the razor and shears, and as a tonsorlal artist fankes with the leading members of the craft. —The family of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Sayler. residing north of Ibis place* have been most sadly and Beverly bereaved during the past few days by the effects of that terrible disease—diphtheria. On the 4th lust., Ida May, a little daughter died, aged three years; on the 9th, a son, Stephen Enster, aged six years, and on the 10th, another son, William Henry, aged eight year. Thus three bright children were carried to Qie tomb in less than one week. The sons were buried at one time and occupy one grave. Two other children are afflicted with this fatal disease and they may die before this account appears in print- The grief of the parents cannot be comprehended save by those who may have been similarly afflicted. —lt is no uncommon tiling at the present period of the world’s history to hear of a young lady’s heart being broken, having the heart-ache, a divided heart, or heartless, but the story of a lady at Indianapolis, whose heart is misplaced, has set physiologists to thinking. A physician who made the discovery while examining her for a supposed spinal trouble, reports as follows: ‘‘She is about twenty years old, of good form, handsome face, and pleasing disposition.- A careful study of the precise location and form of the heart shows it to be transferred to the right side of the chest, and instead of the apex resting just below the breast, it strikes upward against the right collar-bone, near its outer third. In this case there must be a double curve to the large vessels of the heart, and the base of the heart is downward. In other words thjs heart is on the wrong side of the body, and Is upside down. This unnatural condition of things does not give rise to any serious Inconvenience, except when moving quickly or going up stairs, the organ beats with painful violence against the collar-bone, where its motion is plainly visible.” —Farmers frequently complain of the dullness of the wood market, and that they are some times insulted by town people who offer them fifty or seventy-five cent for a good load when there is no particular demand for fuel and the owner is anxious to sell. This is doubtless all true, but wood-haulers should remember that purchasers are also shamefully imposed upon. Not unfrequently a load of wood sold at the market price is not worth half the money paid. Only a few sticks of good wood are placed on top whils the bottom of the load is composed of crooked, water-soaked stuff that would not ignite in purgatory. We have noticed .that wood merchants who complain most of the dullness of the market are those who when they come to town with a Ibad of wood for sale, hitch their teams and wag off to a saloon or lounge around the stores and make no effort to find a purchaser until night approaches. During this winter there have been as many as four persons hunting at one time for the owner of a load of wood, each anxious to become the purchaser. Farmers who wish to make a success of the wood business must haul honest loads and let it be known that they have the wood for sale.

—Farmers who expect to "raise eane” thia sissnn ahoaM parehaae seed at Warner T s hardware store. —School teachers will find very pretty reward of merit cards at the poatoffioe; not gaudy, bat attractive, neataad cheap enoogh. —Any newapaper or periodical in the United States will be procured for single subscribers at club rates, on application at the postoffiee. —The Democrats have as much hatred for the men who staid at home and prevented the Knights of the Golden Circle from carrying Indiana into secession as for those who defeated their Southern brethren in the field. —Mr. J. D. Cowden, deputy auditor of this county, received the appointment of clerk at the Northern State prison, Wednesday. He is well qualified for that position and we feel that he will prove a very efficient officer. -j-Mr. C. D. Stackhouse exhibited a quantity of nice sugar at this office, Wednesday, made from the Minnesota Early Amber Sugar Cane. Those who wish to purchase seed for the raising of this superior cane, can procure it at Warner's hardware store. , —Mr. Shuey, of Greencastle, was in Jasper county this week, looking after business affairs. He thought it highly probable that he might move to Jasper and settle upon unimproved lands in which he owns an Interest, and turn bls attention to developing a stock farm. —Those who defeated Northern Democrats at the polls during the war and kept the Knights of the Golden Circle from carrying Indiana Into secession, rendered their country noble service,and, like tbesoldiersin the field, deserve to be recognized for their loyalty and patriotism. —Perhaps it would not be wise in us to urge the “war record” of Jasper county’s candidate for congress, but that lie did go to camp Taylor, Ohio, in 1862, and offer bis services to the government, cannot be denied, the statements of the new editor of the Sentinel notwithstanding. He also served for some time as a recruiting officer. If his health did not permit him to enter the army at the beginning of the war he did a good job of fighting and voting agaiustVallaudigbam Democrats.
