Jtidge Tourgee of North Carolina' the ' famous anther of “A Fool's Errand” end 1 ••urieks wttiwnt Straw, ■' has added to hig series of strikiag historical studies, another work, entitled “A Royal Gentleman.” *‘A Fool's Errand” relates the esperencc of a Northern Settler in the South after the war. "A Royal Gentleman,” on the other bsnd, i* a study of Southern Society and Cliarheter just "HefSre and during the war, and throws a flood, of new light upcn the iuner history of that strange epoch. It deals with the social, industrial,and political phases of Southern life in the ante-bellum days; *nd reveals the nndercurrent of events at work—that under-current which drew a whole people into civil conflict. * In his preface, Judge Tourgee'says: '•The' story is the delineation of a romantic sentiment, having its root in slavery, hut its flower and fruitage in freedom, and concerns itself with Slavery only in order to mark the growth of character under that ini fluence. Tko incidents of “A Royal Gentlem.\D’’ are founded upon real <-vents, and rte characters drawn from life. In dramatic romntic interest and in literary finish, it ia the author’s masterpieee. when %e consider that-in a little more than one year, hnndreds of thousands of volumes of thts author have been pat in circulation among the reading and thinking people of American—books dealing witq the doepest and most important problem* of o*w national life, and yet popular because svt forth blazing, fascinating of Action—wonhow that tbo ou hor most be Makings profound impression upon hia dav. There ia scarce on instance in literary history of eo sudden a rise to eo proud an eminence. Judge by the sale of bis books, wh ch has been the meat rapid fn the b ; atory of book-publishing. Judge Tonrgee stands to-day the most popular of American writers. A book from hia graphic pen is therefore a great literary event. It ia safe to eny tbai ■ll who have read *‘A fool’s Errand” wil[ dosiro to road “ A royal gentleman;” and as U-l# to Its sold exclusively by snb-criptioa, tbonaando will weloemetb* coming of tbe —vaosar.

Saturday, Oci. «, at her rt&sidencfe in Rsaaaelaer, Mia. Abigail Bingham, wife of JL W. Bingham. Abigail Bingham waa born in Alerandiia, Geueoee county, New York, June 27,1816 *ahe waa married to Augustus W. Bingham at the same [dace on Nov. 11* 1833 ; removed with her husband to this* county in 1835 ; remained here nn- 1 til 1842, when they moved to Codk county, Ilk In 1851, they moved to Jersey county, HL, where they remained until they moved baric to sis Bingham. Mrs. Bingham was a woman who was esteemed for harmany virtues. She was a* kind *koa affectionate mother, a dutiful and faithful wife, and a generons and good neighbor, beloved of all who knew her. Truly one of the pioneers of our oouniy lias been removed tram our midst. 1 Her husbaud, whojjTir ri n* her, has the heartfelt sympathies of hb neighbors and friends, who mourn with him his sad loss. Messrs. Editors For the informatton of the members and patrons of the Presbyterian church, permit me to state that Mrs. T. and myself expect to go to White county this week and will probably he absent two Sabbaths. For the anarter beginning with November se regular days for service in the Presbyterian church, will be the second and fourth Sabbaths of each month. The Rev. B. F. Ferguson will preach in thei, Presbyterian church next Sabbath. At my next reguiar appointment, Nov. 27th, no preventing providence, the the Lord’s Supper will be administered. We desire to have services Wednesday and Friday nights, and Saturday, at 2 P. M. preceding, and the Lord’s Sapper on the Sabbath, Nov. 27th. A. Taylor.

The mystic letters, Q. A. M.. stand for “Quit At Midnight,”'the name, the precept, and the practice of the dancing club, organized some weeks ago. The next regular biweekly dunce take place to-morrow evening. The two dances already given by the club were, according to the unanimous evidence of those present, very pleasant affairs indeed. The business meeting of the club, however, are not always, in all things, absolutely felicitous. That which took place last Monday evening was in fact decidedly stormy. Some proposed changes in the rules and by-laws of the club were the cause of the difficulty. * i i‘ At the Presbyterian Gbc.ch last Suuday, after the morning sendees, it was decided to organize a choir. The congregation tbeii proceeded to elect two choristers, or leaders in the singing, and jtwo organists. The organists chosen were Mis. Djr. Hnmar, and Miss Hattie Coen. ’ The leaders, Mrs. E. S. Woods and Mr. F. J. Sears. The organists and choiristers were directed to call in what assistance they will need to make a first-class choir. ' After transacting some other business the meeting adjourned, peace and harmony prevailing.

Grand Opening. Everybody should call and see the finest, largest ami most complete stock of Millinery Goods ever brought to Rensselaer. Also we make a specialty of all kinds of sewing. Call at once, up-stairs, over Leopold’s store. Laßue <fc Crane. At Purcupile’s Bakery and Restaurant will be found a full line of everything in the bakery and restaurant line wluch will be sold as cheap as can be bought at any other place. Come ana look at- our goods and get prices. •We ask for your patronage. * The Oxford Tribune has changed to a five-column quarto, printed all at home. Unless the business men of Oxford 'are better .acquainted with the value £f printer’s ink than those of most Indiana towns the experiment will hardly prove a success.
