Last Saturday at. 2 P. M. the citizens of Rensselaer bade a fiinal adieu to the narrow gague locomotive and cars that for three years have daily measured the distance between this place and Delphi. It was the day appointed for changing the road to a standard gauge. A goodly number of workmen had been brought together, and on the departure of the afternoon train, were detailed in squads by contractor John Connor, and the work of changing the grade was begun and continued through Saturday and Sunday, the work being completed, to Bradford about 5 o’clock Sunday evening. A train was then made up, consisting of a J., M. & I. locomotive, a flat car from the L., N. A. & C., and a box car from the Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis railroad. The train was given in charge of Ed. Honan, who safely piloted to our town this, the first train over the standard gauge, arriving here about 7 p. m. But few people were expecting the coming of the train, but the shrill of the locomotive excited the curiosity of the curious and*a general movement toward the depot began. All were anxious to see the big cars, Excitedly the throng rushed along. Old men, young men, maid and matron, long people, short people, those that were fat and those that were lean, some inclined forward, some backward, some not at all inclined, only to reach the depot; square men, round men, angular men, and some altogether shapeless, walking, running, puffing and blowing, all impelled by one overpowering desire to get a glimpse of the first standard gauge train, to see it, to walk around it, or even to touch it. » Long will be remembered the arrival of the first train. Untold have been the benefits, to Our people, of the narrow gauge, but greater things were expected, greater promised, until from one disappointment to another the people, mahy of them, lost patience ana frequent murmurs wqre heard. - Yet patiently the managers of construction have struggled along, overcoming obstacles,- surmounting difficulties, until through various changes and many trying circumstances we have a standard gauge railroad as far as Bradford. This will sooh be extended to Monticello afid thence tor Delphi. Active operations will also soon begin in the direction of Chicago, and we feel confident that the prospects are favorable for the completion of the road to that city by the middle of the coming summer.

Another lit lo ebtw, but not fc, welcome one. Several of the farmers commenced plowing last Monday, but on awaking Tuesday morning and finding the ground white with snow abandoned the plow and concluded to wait untill winter was over. John Timmons returned home last Saturday bringing with him a bride. May they live a long, useful and happy life is the wish of their friends. I . - \ Bev. Loder preached at this pladfe last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Ida r. Moody and her little daugter Bessie May are visiting relatives at this place, The narrow gauge engine jumped the track here one day last week while switching. The literary at the Ridge parsed off pleasantly last Friday night, spring is upon us and people busy, it was thought best to adjourn the society indefmitoly.
