Commissioner G. W. lurk has returned from a visit to his brother, Charles Burk, at Rippey, lowa. Mr. Burk reports lowa booming and is highly pleased with the country. Mr. Roberts, of Rushville Indiana, has been in Rensselaer a few days looking at the place. He has made up his mind to move here in ease he can secure a business room, and a dwelling. It has recently been developed, that one of our well known citizens, not a member of the cornet band practiced five nights, and then paraded the streets blowing his horn long and loud, all for the purpose of getting a dead head ticket to Dixie’s Famous New Orleans Minstrels. Surely economy is wealth. It is reported that a Lafayette physician has sued a prominent citizen of Tippecanoe county, for ten thousand dollars damages, for taking a case of small pox into his office and leaving it there when his office was full of children, there for the purpose of being vaccinated.

While at work about his engine in Bates & Havens elevator, this morning, Ike Heistand, was caught in the machinery and had a shoulder dislocated and lost part of an ear.

Correspondents will please bear in mind, that nothing in the form of an advertisement will be admitted through them to our columns at less than regular advertising rates. Also we will publish no articles of * personal nature which will tend to arouse any ill-feelings. We want the news, and nothing in the way of vain attempts at wit, and items of personal abuse. If you have an ax to grind do it on your own grind-stone. We are not aware that we have a correspondent to whom this item refers, but we simply desire it to be understood by them. The Leslie Concert company held a series of interesting musical meetings last week, concluding Wednesday evening with a concert at the -Presbyterian church. The large attendance of pupils—numbering about 50- made remarkable progress under the directions of Prof, and Mrs. R. B. George who are said to be first-class instructor. Prof. George is not only a splendid musician, but a thorough gentleman as well, and should he ever visit our town again he will doubtless meet with better success. As it was the concert was not sufficiently advertised and the attendance was not large.

Married—At the residence of the bride’s parents, in Remington, Ind., Wednesday evening Jan. 25, 1882, the Rev. J. B. Crow officiating, Mr. Wm. B. PRicE and Miss Mary Dr\per, all of Remington.

McCoy, shipped 100 3-year-old steers, Tuesday, that averaged 1,420 pounds each. They were probably the finest lot of cattle ever shipped from this point. Mr, McCoy expects to realize S9O per head for them. > — 1 ■ e i . School books the cheapest at Tharp’s. The Fort Wayne Gazette published a lot of worthless clap-trap from Prof. A. M. Blake, an astronomical crank of Cleveland, who might well be in better business, The “Professor” claims that a change in the axis of rotation of the earth took place in 1877, and that, in consequence th estate of Indiana is now in the Torrid Zone. Th s only evidence advanced in support of the assertion is a table showing that the mean temperature of Cleveland has been a few degrees higher since 1877 than it was for the four years proceeding that time. Which proves nothing except a cycle of warm seasons follow a cycle of colder ones. The idea that the equator of the earth could change its position, to the extent of a single degree,without the fact being at once precaived by every astronomical observatory in the world is absolute folly.

Dr. Haas’hog and poultry remedy is proof against cholera in swine or poultry. For sale by Imes & Meyer. Delphi Dunces.—A set of Delphi roughs, advertising themselves as Dixie’s Minstrels, gave a disgusting performance at the —operahouse, Tuesday night, to a large audience. The “advance agent” came here last week, and represen'ted to the proprietors of the opera house, that the troupe was one which had played all over the east, with great success, and upon the statement they were engaged to give an entertainment here. They proved, however, to be a lot of young fellows of Delphi who had been practicing with the view of starting out in the show business, and thinking Rensselaer sort of a backwoods place, thought it a good point to make a start from, but the reception they received at t e opera house should be sufficient to discourage them from future offences. The havoc which it would have played with stage and scenery was all that prevented them from receiving a dose of ancient hen fruit at the hands of some of our young ■ten, which they so richly deserved. This office is mourner in a small amount.

These armies will be opposed by the united armies of England and India, under the lead of England. The armies under the lead of the Czar will take half of the city of Jeruselem, but will be miraculously overthrown. That the signs of the times indicate the near approach of those events.

Guiteau Will soon be|j food for worm*. In the closing proceedings, yesterday, he answered th* terrible thrusts of Judge Porter with an almost continuous flow of personal abuse, no effort being made to restrain him. Judge Cox instructed the jury to pay no heed to. the statements made by the prisoner as to public sentiment in his case, the only question being that of guilt or innocence. The jury spent thirty minutes in reaching a verdist of guilty. The assassin passed the time in a small writing-reoin, and predicted his acquittal. When brought back to the dock he showed unusual pallor, but no nervousness. When the verdict was announced, he cried out: “My bleed will be upon the heads of that jury, and don’t you forget it.” The audience shouted itself hoarse in approval of the conviction. Mr. Scoville at once gave notice of a motion for a new trial. Guiteau eaid: “God will avenge this outrage.” Judge Cox paid the highest compliments to the jury. When the assassion was put in the van the crowd hooted until it was out of sight. Under the laws of the District, the defence has four days in which to file a notice for a new trial. The prisoner is allowed thirty days of life after the next meeting of the general term, which begins April 1. The execution will probably be fixed for J uly. Marshal Ilenry promptly telegraphed the verdict to Mrs. Garfield, who told the Cleveland interviewers that she had no comments to make for the public ear. The positiv* enthusiasm with which the result was received last evening in all parts of the country shows the fear which" prevailed that the jury would disagree.
