J- Sear* 4 Sou’s. - Don ’ t forget tn attend tbe meeting at tbe coart home, Tuesday evening, to complete the arrangements for decorating tbe soldiers’grave*. —Rev. Mr- Wood's theme for his morning discourse, next Sabbath, will be “Christian Beneficence.” In tbe evening, “Weils at Salvation.” As a Christian gentleman Mr. Wood is receving the good will and respect of the public generally; aa the pastor of the M. R church be is supported and encouraged by tbe membership; and as a pnlpit orator and expounder of the Scriptures be is acquiring an enviable reputation. This Is not intended for fulsome flattery but truths In which those acquainted with tbe facts will bear testimony.

"Kannal mart May." sad he wfll stay. He to permanently located. —A preliminary meeting was held at tbe court bouse, Saturday evening, to inaugurate methods for tbe celebration of Decoration Day, which occurs on Sabbath, the 30th Inst. Committees were appointed to draft programmes of exercises, music, 4c., and submit the same to a public meeting to be held at the same place, Tuesday evening next. Decoration Dayoccurrlng on Sabbath, this year, an immense crowd will doubtless l>e assembled and every needed preparation should be made. The programme of exercises will be published next week. —Now comes Mr. Era st us Peacock, who has served tbe public faithfully and well for nearly three years as dep uty sheriff* of Jasper county, seeking the nomination for the first position. His claims are worthy of consideration, and if nominated and elected he can bring bis experience to bear In the discharge of his official duties. He enlisted in the Union army when he was but sixteen years of age and served during the darkest hours of tbe rebellion. He has been a citizen of this county for twenty-three years and has never deserted the political principles he faught to sustain. If It is possible for a citizen to merit official he well deserves the position he seeks. Tbe ear of Lnntec, which was injured in the runaway accident, h almost well enough to walk on. It would have l»ccn well long agn if she had exercised ordinary prudence and called on Emmet Kannal for a remedy. —Dr. M. B. Alter, so well and favorably known to the citizens of Jasper county, is announced in this issue of Republican ar a candidate for the office of county treasurer, subject to the decision of tbe Republican nominating convention. He has been a resident of this county almost continuously since 1849, and has at all times been recognized as a useful and enterprising citizen and a stalwart Republican. Heretofore he has never intimated that he had a desire to serve tbe people In an official capacity, and would not now were it not for the fact that his health has become too greatly impaired to continue the practice of medicine. Doubt lew the doctor is as deserving of position as any other citizen in the county, and we ho|>e the delegates to the nominating convention will fully consider bis claims and ability before passing-him by.

—We learn there has been some talk among n few public spirited citizens about the propriety and probable cost of putting a town clock in the courthouse tower. If this enterprise should be accomplished the principal expense would necessarily have to come out of the corporation treasury, and just at present the average tax-payer would consider the scheme as being one not strictly compatible with the dilapidated condition of his pocket-book. We can suggest two improvements to the town of Rensselaer that would prove far more beneficial than a public timepiece, namely, grading Washington street and bouldering the gutters, so that teams will not be required to plow through a saa of mud during the muddy season nor our principal business thoroughfare present the appearance and smell of a barn-yard during the summer Season. Another improvementmight be made that would prove advantageous to the general public and as a permanent advertisement to the town; that is to convey the water from the artesian well, by means of iron pipes, buried two feet under ground, down along the bank of the river, to the east end of the river bridge, where it could be raised to any desired bight. Being centrally located aud upon the bank of the placid Iroquois, a pleasant resort could be established at a very small expense. We are told that Ibis enterprise would have been undertaken some years ago but the parties were deterred by the enormous price asked for the privilege of the well. Being a citizen of considerable wealth it is possible Mr. Hopkins can now be persuaded to become a public benefactor and permit a public monument to be erected to h'.s good name in the way of an ever flowing fountain, at which the weary pilgrims of life can slake their thirst for many ages after be has gone to enjoy the reward of his benevolence- A fountain might also be continued at the well, as there Je much more water arises than neewbe conveyed to the proposed resort. There is still another improvement that should be made not long hence, and that la an iron fence in place of the old wooden one enclosing the public squareAnd now that the county is about out of debt we woald suggest that this matter be considered by the honorable board of county commissioners immediately after a half-dozen bridges are constructed where needed thro’out the county. A handsome iron fence would add largely to the attractions of Rensselaer, and the good appearance and general enterprise of the county seat baa much to do with a stranger’s good opinion of the country surrounding. We hope the readers of the Republican will consider the improvements suggested, and if tho’t practicable encourage their accomplishment.

Why he was not a subscriber to tbe defunct Union we have never been informed. —C F Harding has gone to Hillsdale, Mich., to abide for a season, and perhaps permanently; and like tbe great majority of persons going hence to seek new homes, he has engaged tbe weekly visits of tbe Republican. * —The members of the Republican Central Committee should preserve tbe table published In this issue of the Republican, giving number of delegates from the several townships, for reference, When the township meetings are held on the 12th of June.

Moore, a compositor on the Peru Republican, is hereon a visit to bis sister, Mrs. Wm. Kirtley and other friends. James served bis “devship” during tbe.eleventh year of the writer’s foretnaushlpof that office, and the pleasurable incidents of that period will never be erased from the tablets of memory. —Capt. Nathaniel S. Paul, of Laporte, Census Supervisor of the Fifth Census district, was in town last Friday selecting proper persons to canvass the several townships of Jasper county. As soon as the list of canvassers dare be made public we will publish it that the people may be apprised of the coming of the census-taker and put their houses in order. —There was a very fair attendance at the Christian church, last Sabbath, to hear Hon. R. S. Dwiggins’s lecture on prayer. We had expected to give u brief synopsis of his remarks, but our space is limited this week aud wc dare not even attempt it. He believe? in the efficacy of prayer and tliat all reasonable petitions offered at the throne of grace, supplemented with desire and Christian faith, will be answered, if not in accurdance with the petipner’s views, to his good and the furtherance of Christianity. I’ope Leo is seventy-one. II he hail bought his drugs at Kanual’s drug store, he might have been a hundred by this time. —Willet, the proprietor of “ Red Hell," by reason of one or more efforts to obtain a license before the honorable l>oard of county commissioners, to retail intoxicating liquors in a less quantity than a quart, became indebted to the county of Jasper in a sum he was not able to liquidate when called upon by Sheriff* Robinson. To satisfy immediate demands, Willet rolled uut two quarter barrels and two half barrels of “fire water,” and surrendered tbe same to the possession of said county official, who has since kept it carefully stored in the southeast corner of his office. The sheriff* has been frequently importuned by thirsty individuals for the priviledge of extracting a quantity of tlie invigorating fluid from on* of the keg* by th* aid ofastraw, but so farthe liquor remains intact. The cheapest ready made clothing on earth at the Cheap Store. You rave from 8 to 5 dollar* on a suit and it pays.

—Mr. J. W. Powell, whose name appears under the head of “announcements,” as a candidate for the nomination of sheriff, enlisted In the service as a private soldier, in response to the first call, in 1861, and was a member of the secund company that entered Camp Morton. He reinaind in the army, with the exception of two months, until the close of the war, in 1860. He has been a resident of Carpenter township for nearly eightyears, and as a soldier and citizen he has ejoyed the respect of all good people. He is now seeking the nomination for sheriff of Jasper county and none doubts his ability and fitness for the position. As a soldier-he never avoided duty; us a Republican he has at all times been firm in the faith, and as an official he will doubtless discharge bls duty in an acceptable manner. —The peculiar freaks exhibited by the wind-pump, situate In the northwest corner of the publie square, has excited the curiosity and admiration of many persons, and its self-adjusting machinery and daredevil propensitia, during a wind storm, has never been fully understood by credulous eitizeusA lawyer, a doctor, a merchant and an editor endeavored to comprehend its manipulations during a protracted gale, but failed to diagnose the case, agree upon a verdict, invoice the stock or interview its gesticulations. The doctor was fully persuaded that a correct knowledge of its organism and protoplasmic condition could only be ascertained by dissection. The lawyer thought the facts could be successfully determind by invistigation and crossexam inatiou. Tbemerchant expressed the opinion that if he was afforded an opportunity ato offer it for sale the scrutiny of the average purchaser would develope every motion and texture of its mechanism. The editor argued that a little newspaper notoriety would induce it to run for office, when a discriminating public will blister and probe every hidden mystery. w A Bostonian says that culture saves taOor bate.

On Sabbath the remains were conveyed to bls home, accompanied by the sorrowing ones. —Doubtless the voter* of Jasper county are pretty generally aware tliat Mr. George M. Robinson, the present sheriff, lias yielded to the repeated soIfcitations of his numerous friends tb become a candidate for the office of county treasurer. How well and satisfactory he has served the public in his present capacity need not be mentioned as it is said by some to lie beyond criticism. As a cltizeu and official he stands high among the people, and they will give him a liberal support for the nomination.

In view of tlie fact that Mr. Daugherty is well known throughout the county as an upright,honorable gentleman,a Republican ofßcpuhlLcans,a trustworthy citizen and an experienced county official he needs no special recommendation. Four years ugo he served the county two terms as sheriff* aud the manner in wnich lie discharged the duties of the office elicited the praise of every one. He has been persuaded io again seek tbe nomination through the solicitation of bis fritends, and has fair hope* of success- He served bi* country faithfully and acceptably in the war of the rebellion and was wounded at Vicksburg.

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and the man who is deceived thereby Is not wise. Then look not upon the wine when it Is red, but go and buy a bottle of ‘‘Bromaline,” the great Blood medicine. It euros Dyspepsia, cleanses the blood, regulates the Liver and tones up the whole system until the body Is the smooth-run-ning machine it was intended to be. Do not wait until your health Is entirely broken by disease but get a bottle of this and you will have no reason to com pl ain. Bromoline is put up in a large hottie with directions on each inside wrapper, and the price is $1 per bottle. I have taken the agency.
