Remington Notes

M*. Eoh-ok*—l pre an me it is not neuessary to tell yon that in a small town, there is generally a gre -1 dearth of news that would interest the genersl public. You in yom ospauitj of journalist have doubt Teaa fraud o» t for yourself. The dull stagnation which follows great political excitement io upon na and we have nothing left to talk about 1 In last week's Reporter we find two lengthy epistles defending the action of the writers in their man ner of voting at the late election. We have no fault to find with themgeotlerpjßn as men and citixens, by we do deplore the want of common sense which caused them to act as they did. As a member of a ebris tian church and partaker of a ebriatian communion it gives ur pain to have the dear name of Christ bandied about upon the lips of the thoughtless, the vulgar aud profane; brought down upon a level with Hancock, English and others of that ilk.

She ikitenda giving a concert on Friday evening at Exchange Hall. Workmen aie still at work beau tifying the Jouvenat place. " hen finished and furnished it will make a very handsome and cosy residence for-woll-for Mose. I forgot to say that we had a big jollification here last Tuesday eve* ning. “All went merry as a mar riage bell.” Spoecheaand original songs filled up the measure of the evenings enjoyment and the Hat scene in the last act of the campaign closed with general good feeling.
