EXAMINATION next Saturday.

Buy the Buckxte. Wabnxb A Sons, Agente. The Rensselaer Post-Office has been constituted an international money order office. Pbeaching at 11 o’clock a.- m. next Sunday, in Christian church, by Elder D. T. Halstead. The enterprising Fendig is always at it He has just received an extra large assortment of fine summer goods. His display of lawns is especially magnificent Themxs for pulpit discourse in the Presbyterian church next Sabbath: Morning, “The Beautiful as a Factor in the Elevation and Salvation of Man.” Evening, “Quack Doctors.” , • . In announcing the death of Mrs. Mary Hurley, two weeks agh, the ■type made it read three daughters and one son dead, whereas it should have read one daughter and three gons dead. ; Mr. S. E. Woods has his new meat market in running order, and it is one of the finest business rooms in the city. Mr. Woods is an experienced butcher and is deserving of a fair share of your patronage. Owing to somebody’s blundering negligence, a package of printing paper which we should have received the first of this week, did not reach us until Thursday night, and we are obliged to issue our paper a day later than usual this week.

Mr. F. J. Sears, who 'attended the funeral ceremonies of George Gratner, of Barkley township, reports it to have been the largest funeral he ever attended in Jasper county. The procession lacked but little, if any, of being a half mile in length. As one of the curiosities of the reaper trade we make a note of the fact that N. Warner & Sons sold three Buckeye reaping machines to members of the Makeever family within two days. Monday evening Madison Makeever bought a Buckeye mover. Tuesday morning John Makeever bought a table rake reaper, and Jasper Makeever a mower.

“Saving His Bacon” by a New Process. Our communication from Barkley township this week contains some fine “plums” and no mistake. We suppose that the stirring up of that litteV of pigs will produce its natural result of some pretty loud squealing. Mr. Barkley evidently “takes in” that passage of the scripture which says: “Even as ye Sow, so shall ye reap." Dud —Mr. George Gratner, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Barkley township, died last Monday morning, from injuries received some time ago by a Runaway team. ' Mrs. Jessie Monegan, from New Heaven, Conn., who has been visiting with her daughter, Mrs. Pat. Donnelly, two or three weeks, died last Friday. Her health had been very poor for some time and her physicians advised her to come weet, thinking she might be benefitted. She was 75 years old.

Married.—At the residence of the bride’s parents, at Long, Vermilion Co., HI., on Wednesday, June 15,1881, Mr. C. P. Mitchell, of Rensselaer, Ind., and Miss Malissa Vanduyn. Mr. Mitchell and his bride have the best wishes of hosts of friends of the former in this community and The Republican joins with them in wishing the worthy couple bop voyage. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell spent the latter part of last week at Terre Haute, attending the commencement and alumni meeting of the State Normal School, from which institution they are both graduates. They will remain in Illinois until fall, when they will eome to Rensselaer to remain permanently. N. Warner & Sons bought their fanning implements early and secured low rates. They are thus enj abled to sell low.

A decidedly for the worse seems to have come over the spirits of our dream if the condition of our streets at night furnishes any criterion. The crowds of roughs and hoodlums that congregate in front of the and at “Hell Corner” are especially annoying. It is well nigh impossible for a respectable person of either sex to pass along these places at night without being insulted by some disgusting ribaldry or shocking profanity. Few people will have any trouble in locating the chief cause of this state of affairs, but whether the remedy is to be so .easily found is a matter of doubt, but we presume that if the town officers will give the matter their attention that some means can be devised to mitigate the evil.
