REMINGTON RAMBLES.

BY W.

Your correspondent has been censured tor not telling more the marriage of Mr. John Ford and Miss Laura Timmonds. He told all he knew. Not being a witness,, of course be could not give a description of the bride’s dress and appearance of the bridal presents. There was no elopement, abduction or anything to create a sensation. They were married as they had a right to be and that is enough. • The old Agricultural Implement establishment ofS. M. Black’s has been sold to Majk Phelps, who . in addition, carries a stock of general hardware. That old unfinished cornice over the stone corner has been completed. Had this been done before the tornado, three weeks ago, the tin roof would probably have remained uninjured. . The temperance society two weeks ago voted to have a weekly paper read, and appointed 11. K. Payne, editor, with Miss Mary Draper, assistant. Last Saturday evening the first number was read at the meeting and was well received. Its witioisius caused much merriment and the articles of sober sense were full of good advice and appealed to the better judgment of all. Apropos of the temperance movement, one or two who were prominent appendages to the tail of Jimmy Dann’s kite while that gentleman(?) was here last summer, have soured on him and all other tramp lectures. Yet some of our citizens of known temperance principles, habits and practice were soundly abused and falsified because they saw fit to have no hand in the flying of that longtailed kite. “A change has come over the spiritof their dreams,” and the flyers propose to fall back on home talent. Every man has a right to his own belief provided ’that belief is founded on reason and common sense. * . ' Geo. F. Bloom has been confined to bis bed, for several days with typhoid-pneumonia. I am happy to state however that he is convalescent. Last Saturday morning John Southard was the owner of a coW. Before night she was spread out on the railroad track by a freight train. Remington baa for years labored under u great dlsavantlge'ih'cF'cdh-’' sequeatly has not kepUpaoe with' her sister towns in the dovelopemepts of fine arts. But ndw the hiuderance is to be removed and she can confidently be expected, soon to stand among the foremost if not the topmost. A string band will be the motor. Mrs. Littlefield io in the town lecturing on the treatment of lunatics at the asylum. Sheknowshow it is herself. .In the meantime the divorce suit “goes bravely on.” Tho Reporter man is evidently a little stimulated to extra exertion, by the fact that each of the Rensselaer papers has a correspondent in Remington, and he is “going to have one from Rensselaer soon or -boat.” It ie to be bopod-he will obtain th© correspondent. Those Republican papers which are so earnestly protesting against a third term may as well prepare for an ungraceful back-down. They will have to db it.—-Delphi Times.
