The spectacle of the rear end of a jail thrust into the front end of a court house is ; one that yon could not find equalled if you searched from Dan to BeerV sheba.' A Tiie members of the executive committee of -the old settlers of •Jasper and Newton counties, are requited to meet at Frank W. Babcock’s office, in Rensselaer, on Saturday, the 13th inst., at 10 o’clock a. m., to arrange for the annual re-union. The members of • the advisory committee ore all invited to bo present. Jared Benjamin, Pres’t. .Frank W. Babcock, Secretary. Aug. 3,1881. Wit understand that Mr. A. McCoy has guaranteed to the proprietorh.of the Rensselaer Mill sufficient monoy, to be raised by subscription, to buy them a forty horse power engine, provided that the mvners'of the mill will tear out the old dam, and 'agree not to build an- • other. No doubt the heavy land owners.along the Iroquois, whose lands are sadly in need of drainage would generally favor this movement.

Mr.. Jonathan Peacock wishes to minounce to the people of Rensselaer and vicinity that his harness shop, formerly managed by J. H. Peacock, will hereafter be- under the general control of savid C.

The town board adopted on ordinance at the regular meeting, Monday night’providing that all cattle shall not bo permitted to run at large after night. The ordinance took immediate effect The penalty for violation of this ordinance - is a fine ol from one to five dollars, add the marshal is required to impound cattle found on the streets between Bp. m. and 4 a. m. from April. Wo believe this to be a good ordinance and trust the marshall will see that it rigidly enforced. ; . Building Notes. —Recorder Abbott has commenced the foundation walls of liis new residence, in the western part of the city. A. Leopold broke ground for that new store building, Monday morning. It will be a fine building, presenting a striking contrast with the rusty old buildings on the west of it.. C. C. Istarr «fc Co. and N. Warner A Sons are having twenty foot additions built to their stores. Wm.' Greenfield is putting an addition to his house. The County Commissioners held a special session last Thursday, to select a site for the county jail and to take action on the various plans for the building which might be presetted. The plan accepted was one presented by the firm of P. J. Pauly & Brb., St. Louis, Mo., with the- condition, However, that certain changes should be made in the plans by the 10th of August, at which time the Board will hold an-other-session to inspect the plan as amended. For n site for the building the Commissioners selected the southwest corner of the court house square-.

There was quite a' lively horse race, best two in three, half-mile dashes, at the fair ground, last Sat- . unlay, for a "purse of SSO. B. Bey--uolds entered Lis sorrel mare, Jennie 0., and Mr. Johnson, of Johnson’s .Mill, entered his sorrel mare, Lady Hampton. The first heat was token by the Lady by about a length. Hie second heat was won by Jennie by about 30 feet. Previous to the third and. concluding heat excitement ran very high, and betting was exceedingly lively with the odds in favor of the Reynolds horse. The result of the third heat justified the judgment of Jennie’s backers, as she took the heat, and of course the race, by a lead of 40 feet. The best time made was 54$ seronds. We understand that the race is to be repeated next Saturday;, • I 1 ‘ - - 1

C. P. May be w was in Chicago the first of the week. T. C. Anabel, esq., of Logansport, was in the city Tuesday. Mr. Fh Brown, the tailor, was up from Delphi this week, Poking up his business interests here. Mr. J. F. Taylor,-of Camden, Carroll county, was visiting Rensselaer Tuesday. He likes the town and would open a dry-goods establishment could he rent a suitable room.

Copt Ash, John Veach, Jas. Graves and Upton Schaub, of Morroco, were in the city Tuesday. Mr. Schaub is looking up a location in which to open out a merchant tailoring establishment on an extensive scale, and if he can procure a room, will probably come to Rensselaer. Dr. D. J. Lor in g, of Francesville, has made arrangments to come to Rensselaer to live. The Doctor is a practitioner of many years experience, and gives up a lucrative practice at Francesville and comes to our city that he may spend the remainder of his days in a more thrifty and metropolitan town. Mr. F. J. Sears sends us the following note from Chicago : “Johtu Ccamor- informs us that we are the first to go to Chicago oyer the Air Line Railroad, and that all the dead head tickets are used up. We passed Cedar Lake, 1 a beautiful pond, about three miles long, which is becoming a great country resort.”

Eds. Republican:— The article in the Sentinel a few weeks ago, on the organization of a fire company, tlxe right key. A fire company and fire engine are demanded more and more every day. Why should we sleep until the destroyer has us within its grasp? Would it not be better that we arouse ourselves, to a just appreciation of the imminent danger threatening us every hour that our town and property remain in their present exposed situations without any appliances whatever with which to protect ourselves? The suggestions in “Citizen’s” contribution are good ones. There should be fire cisterns sunk in the most populous and exposed parts of our town; then wo should, by subscription or otherwise, purchase a small engine, and organize a good, company; then we will bo able to copo with the ravager whenever and wherever in our limits he makes liis appearance. Our property owners aro threatened, and our merchants oro threatened; in fact everybody—professional men, tradesmen, capitalists and all—would feel the effects of the blow were it to come. Let. us not bo caught without oil in our lnmps,-but let us be prepared for any and every emergency. , Another Citizen.

He had his druggist procurator him a bottle of Brown’s Iron Bittern, having heard- of its merit from an eastern friend, a physician, who told him not to be persuaded to take ■ay other Btttera or Tonis, for well bo knew, with the exception of Brown's /ran Bitten, they all contained alcohol, and had fuled to give his patients lasting relief; nor should he tiko any other preparation of Iron, for with the exception of Brown’s Tron Bitters, they all blackened the teeth, and fcften gave headache, which Brown’s Iron Bitters never did, bnt in fact ci*rr«# headache. The effect was moet satisfactory; he immediately realised its wonderful results..
