REMINGTON ITEMS.

Dkar Rbpubucan:—Prospects in this . part of Jasper county are gloomy enough. There are bugs for the potatoes, cut-worms for tbe cabbaged, corn ami beans, blight for • the grapes and raspberries caused by the late frosts; worms and bugs of different kinds lio in waiting for the melons, squashes, pumpkins, cucumbers anil other vines, and taken altogether tbe pres peels for an abundant harvest are slender. We cannot say much ns to the political outlook. We have heard as w rurnor merely, that Nathaniel Bates will probably be the Democratic nominee tor County Clerk. Tha party could not have selected a better man than Mr. Bates, lie is well known and> universally respected over here, still we think Mr Irwin will come oat abend. We do not know what questions the Ke#tlsnd Gazette correspondent may have put to Dr. Maxwell concerning his course toward Dr. Hatch, but we do believe, and people over ' here generally believe, that Dr. Maxwell is an upiighl Christian gentleman and that covers the whole ground. If he opposed Dr. Hutch he likely felt that he bad good reason to do so, and very likely can answer satisfiictorially all the hard questions propounded by said correspondent. Let no man W deceived. It is merely a Democratic howl, raised to create, if possible, a panic in the Republican ranks. We have no personal fueling in the matter but would like to have Dr. Maxwell elected, knowing that he would ably, faithfully aud conscientiously serve bis constituent#. The flax mill enterprise is fust assuming definite form and proportions, five carload* of lumber and machinery having arrived for it last Friday. Mr. Sweetser is spoken of by those who know him as a man of wealth and business ability, and he will doubtless carry it on with profit to himself ‘ and to the farmers and all others interested. The A. 0. U. W. and the I. O. 0. F. societies are making preparations to have a good time here the fourth. Sack races, glass ball shooting, and other rustic amusements together with an address from Hon. Wm. Meyers, of Andersort, and a basket dinnor will fill the meosure of the dny’s enjoyment. As you are going to celebrate in Rensselaer, it would be superfluous to . you all an invitation to come over and have a good time. Reports from Dakota continue to give > glowing accounts of the growing crops, and h continued stream of emigration into that , favored land, where the earth i» not deluged eVery week, where the vrtwat is not, molested by the fly, nor tho corn by ti e > cut worm; where the potatoes grow and tliiive, unmoloted bv the insatiate bug. Let us alt emigrate “as one man.”
