Mr. Willis J. Imes has sold his brick dwelling house to Hon. G. H. Brown, who intends to occupy it after the Ist of Maj. The price paid was $4,000, cash money; no cat’s and dog’s and no dead horse. Mr. Imes is thinking of making a trip to Dakota this spring, principally for the benefit of his health, but partly we suspect, with a view of moving there if he finds a place Jhat pleases him better than Rensselaer, which is very doubtful. The Hotels.— Major Burke, of Michigan City, will open the Makeever hotel about the first of next month. He is a well-known landlord which will insure the house a good patronage from the outset. Geo.

From appearance they are new in the business, one not being over 20 years of age.

There are a number of young idiots in Rensselaer, who make a practice of going to church simply for the purpose of making disturbance. They get in an off corner and there sit and spit tobacco juice on the carpet, indulge in profane and vulgar language during services, and mako themselves generally obnoxious. It would seem that in a civilized community there should bo some way to put a stop to such proceedings, but it has gone unrebuked thus far, and. there seems no prospect that it will not oontinue n thia way fox all time 4s sons*
