TbeSboes at toe CheapOtore are acknowledged by all to be the vary cheap art aad beat erer brought to M—selser. —The Presbyterians are continuing their efforts to secure a pastor. We hope they may succeed and accomplish the good they are capable of doing. Every obnreh organization In Rensselaer can afford a pastor if tb*e members would make a special effort in that direction. Idle church edifices are indicative of indifferent Christiana and slothfulness in chnrch matters goes far toward retarding the enterprise of the town.'

—Mrs. Rboda Florence came to town in a spring wagon, last Saturday along with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pulling. Returning home as for as the depot, Mm. Florence missed her pock-et-book. They drove into town again as fast as possible, and as good fortune would have it the object of their search was found lying on the street in front of Emmet Kannal’s drug store, where the party had climbed into the wagon. The wonder is that a nice red pocket-book, containing a handsome sum of money should so long escape the gaze of an avaricious throng.

Remember that C. C. Starr A Co. deliver good « to any part of the city free Of charge. —We are aware that there are several young ladiea and young gentlemen in Rensselaer who have not a very friendly feeling toward the moral tone of the Republican because it has arrayed it influence against dancing—especially rouud dances. It is true that the commoa "shin-digs” in towns the size of Rensselaer are not so licentious as the motley crowds iu cities, but the tendency is the same every wliere. Three-fourths of the fallen women of America to-day passed thro’ the dance-house to their debased estate. There may no direct evil result from the dances held from time to, time in this place, and yet it ia possible that many are treading on dangeous grounds. Parents who are aware of the evils that exist in the world and the snares set toentrap their children, see as great danger in tlieir daughters entering the ball-room as their sons visiting the grog-shops. The Sunday edition of the Logan sport Journal contains an editorial on this subject, apart of which we quote in support of the statements Just made: "The past winter has been seed sowing time in this city, that before many months will bring a heavy hearvest of heartaches. Almost every night of the past winter the air has been laden with the strains of the violin, making music for dancers. At these dances were young girls, away from the mother’s

-care until the hoar of early mornlog. The society at all times has not been select. There vanity; frivolity were fostered. Loose tongues whispered words that soon ceased to cause a blush of shame to mantle the cheek of the almost child. There, clasped in the arms of the libertine, Intoxicated by the waltz, the child learned to think thoughts that ought never to have come to her. The downward path was throngh a bower of roees and pleasure. The thorns were hidden from view. The mother, in her vanity of carelessness, would deck ont her daughter, and send her to those slaughter-pens of the soul, little thinking, apparently little caring, that there

her daughter, Idolized and loved, would hsar words that should have never saluted her ear, encounter temptations, almost too great to be resisted. Especially baa this danger been to the yoong girls who have no fond mothers to watch over them. Young girls who are earning a living by their labor, away from friends, from home. To them these dances were a bright oasis in the dreamy round of life. There then met the tempter. There they formed the acquaintance of girls Vhoae feet had already started on the downward rost, and whose conversation soon taught the pare mind of the innocent girl to listen to similar words from the male siren. There are young

girla whose feet have not yet strayed, bat whose names are now being bandied about upon the lips lloentioos. Soon that foot wHroome to their knowledge. They will leant it by the averted looks of their friends, the open whispers of the gossip, and the agony and shame that will oome to their hearts. They may attempt to stem the tide, to battle down the scandal; they may, in their vain endeavor*. * t *s m ** to • corn the world, and bid defiance to the world and Its opinions, bat in the conflict they will receive many a scar.” Tto Black Cush meres at the Cheap Store, am selling very rapidly.

—Mr. William 8- Beery, a young man who formerly taught school in this county, and for a time served as a book agent, was drowned near Logan, Ohio, on the 6th lost, while attempting to ford a river. The journal from which the information is gained, says "the hard hand of fete seems to have been against him from bis birth. When a obiid only three years old he fell and broke his leg'. Later on he had his leg again broken in a threshing machine. The fracture never healed and bia leg remained crooked. A few years ago he quietly left home, telling no one of his purpose, went to Clrcleville. and submitted to an operation In which his leg was amputated. He taught school in Indiana some years. Whilst there be was set upon one evening by tw.o tramps, who robbed and beat him almost to death. He bravely and cheerfully bore all bis afflictions and was making a succeseful and honorable careef, when his brief but useful life was so rudely and tragically closed.”

IWi make brain, and Starr A Co. are offering splendid bargains in all kinds offish. —Hon. Schnyler Colfax arrived here last Thursday noon .which affordhlm a pleasant half day to shake hands with hia many warm friends in this place, and many references were made to incidents that transpired before the war, when Mr. Colfax stumped this county for coriferem. He ie becoming quite gray and venerable in appearance, but the vigor of life seems no way slackened, and he chats and smiles as pleasantly as ever. Daring his stay he called at the Republican offlee in company with Hon. R. B. Dwiggins, at whose residence he dingd. The evening meal was partaken at the Thompson mansion. On account of the previous inclemency of the weather and the diligenoe of far mere to get In their spring orops, the country people were not very numerously represented, though the attendance waa very creditable in size and composed of the beet citizens of Rensselaer and vicinity. Notwithstanding Mr. Colfax talks very fast he occupied about and hour and a half delivering his lecture, through all of which each auditor gave him marked attention. Tease your appetite with C.

—Prior to the opening of Mrs. Pnrcnpiie’s dressmaking shop, ovsr W. J. I meg’s drag store, ladies desiring an expensive dress pattern made op in good style were almost obliged to visit soma city before the work could be accomplished in s satisfactory manner, Mrs. P. observing this need procured the servioes of a lady well veined in the arts and scienoes of dress models and the handiwork of fits and fhshions to asist her iff doing this work as well and cheaper here than it can be done abroad. In this she has succeeded admirably as the number of elegant dresses turned out each week will attest. Not satisfied with this aoooess Mr. Parcuplls purchased a large and superior stock of Millinery Goods for tbs scoommodstion of those who wished to get good goods at reasonable price*, and so great have been the saiga that It became necessary to make two more trips to Chicago to lay In the necessary supplies. The secret of her success lies in theanperier quality of the goods purchased and the reasonable prices at which they are sold. The ladies in Rensselaer and Jasper county needing any ting in the way of millinery or dressmaking will find it to their Interest to patronise Mrs. J. I. Pureupile.
