Marriage Licenses.

The public schools of Rensselaer will close Thursday, June Bth, a. d. 1882. We have had a light frost or two lately, but we think the fruit crop is all solid yet. mi + m* mm Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Duck, of Salem, 0., are visiting their daughter, Mrs. Emmet Kannal, of this place. Dr. M. B. Alter is in Indianapolis attending the annnal session of the state grand lodge of Odd Fellows. Miss Mollie Babcock intends going to Plymouth, this state, shortly, for a stay of several months. Prof. Hooper has our thanks for a fine lot of rhubarb raised in his own garden. He marketed some of the fruit six weeks ago. W. W. Watt on, our efficient deputy prosecutor, was over to Kentlend, very, very e*»rly in the week. Went over there to coart we suppose.

S. P. Thompson visited Fowler last week, he reports political matters in Benton county to be absolutely in a state of volcanic eruption. n» i W. B. Price Jr., departed for St. Lawrence Dakota, with his livery stable outfit, last Friday night. Mrs, Price will follow him next Monday. R. A. Connor, of the Kentland Gazette has been appointed a mailroute agent .between Cincinnati and Chicago, over the I. C. St. L & C. R. R. Mrs.A. Purcnpile andherdaughter Lizzie have returned to Rensselaer, intending as we are informed to make quite a protracted visit to their friends here. We chronicle with regret the fact that the genial Tom Farden has betaken himself to the wildernes of Pine Village, not expecting to return for several months. We neglected to mention last week that John and William Eger haVe purchased the property of W. H. Rhoades, now occupied by W. T. Hamar, as a jewelry store, and will at once rebuild it and put in a large stock of groceries. The boys have plenty of “backing” and will make a strong team.

The numbers which drew the unclaimed prizes at Kannal’s donation, as handed to us and published last week, were incorrect, 8363 is good for the lamp, and 7141 drew the clock, and if you have either ot those numbers please make it manifest in a rather previous period of time or you will be left. Our Jordan township fellowcitizens believe m asking for what they want whether they get it or not. Mr. J. V. Dutton, of that township, has just forwarded to President Arthur, a very comprehensive document, in the form of a petition which requests the president, Ist, that he will pardon Sergeant Mason, with Betty and baby; 2nd that he will not pardon Charles J. Guiteau for the enormous Ac. 3rd, that he will not put Gen. Grant on the retired list with an allowance of SIO,OOO per year. We understand the good people of Jordan squandered thenautographs upon the petition-with: a-great deal of libfcralityx-'.

Decoration day. —A meeting of the citizens will be held next Monday afternoon, at four o’clock, to organize for the proper observance of Memorial Day. Hiram Day, the brisk citizen who bought a lot, and built and occupied a comfortable house in such a phenominally short time last fall, is erecting a more pretentious domcile this spring. .w D. L. Bishopp, of Kentl&nd, the popular prosecuting attorney, of this district, struck Ratsselaer Monday evening. We suppose to use the popular political parlance of the period, that he conies for the purpose of Dutting his fences in order. Messrs. Emmet Kannal and F. B. Meyer, attended the Indiana State Pharmacentical Association last week, and were much pleased with the work of the association. Mr. Kannal teas honored by the appointment of delegate tj the National Association which meets at Niagara in August. • The new passenger train was put on the L. N. A & C. road last Monday as was previously announced. It will be of great convenience for Rensselaer people wishing to go Chicago. It passes Rensselaer going north at about a quarter past five in the morning, and returns at About half past eleven in the evening, thus giving a full day in Chicago. ""our long tune-friend, George M„ Robinson, of Rensselaer, wilT make the race for County Auditor. After serving two terms as S heriff of Jasper county, it is useless to call the attention of the voters in his direction. Mr. Robinson is probably personally acquainted with nine-tenths of the inhabitants of the entire county, and if nominated, wo predict that he will lead the balance of the republic n ticket at the November election.—Remington News. . «§» ' W. H. Rhoades was on Mondt y brought befoie Justice Wood charged with the disgraceful offence of wife-beating. In the absence of the deputy prosecutor', F. W. Babcock conducted the prosecution. The defendant entered a plea of guilty, and the court, after taking a few hours to reflect upon the matter, assessed agiinst the defendant the full penalty of the law. A fine of $25 and the costs of the suit. Mr. Rhoades, we are assured feels keenly the disgrace this act has brought upon himself. And in the hope that he may profit by the lesson he has received, we refrain from further comment on this lamentable affair.
