REMINGTON ITEMS

Dear Republican—By the time this letter is in print the greater part of Remington will be ih Rensselaer for the purpose of beholding the gallant Gen. Sheridan. A great many also intend to “take in” the sham bat le on Friday. Your pleasant town will bo well filled if the weather is favorable. The wedding of Mr. Traugb and Miss Boyce passed off pleasantly and we might say sumptuously last Wednesday evening. The bride was dressed in dark green satin-surrah and looked very handsome. The presents, of which a list will appear in the News of this week, were numerous and elegant, and the refreshments were all the most fastidious taste could require. We forgot to say that Mr. T. was jn regular evening costume for gentlemen, and he also looked happy and handsome. Clark Price and R. Parris spent Sunday with friends in this place. Miss Moggie Chappell left for West-Liberty, lowa, Monday evening, she expects to. be absent all winter. A man offered a horse for sale ’to Mr. James Plunkett at such a low price that he came to the conctusion that it was stolen. He gave voice to his suspicion, when the man took to his heels and led his pursuers an exciting race through Mr. Henry Bellows’ corn field, but managed to make his escape. The citizens, of this place or part of them, lately had the pleasure of listing to an able and eloquent discourse by Rev. I, H. Patch on the subject of prohibition and the amendments. We wish that every man in Jasper Co. could have heard him. His argument was clear and convincing. Mrs. George Griffin, of Goodland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Blood of this place-is lying dan gerously sick at the residence of her brother-in-law, Mr. Samuel Bowman. She has been a sufferer for years, and her release is expected at any moment. \ Mr. A. M. Traugh, one of our best and most enterprising citizens, is still on the sick list, but we hope soon to be able to chronicle his entire recovery.. School opened on Monday, of last week, with Miss M. P. Bolles as superintendent and Miss Carrie Irwin in the grammar department, Mrs. Stearns, Miss Agnes Nelson and Miss May Blood, in the other rooms. Those who. know Miss Bolles and the teachers under her need not be told that we are going to have the “boss!’ school.

The Red; Stockings of Delphi, thristing for vengeance on the Clippers for the everlasting scoop the latter got on to ’em last week, came up to Rensselaer Tuesday, with blood'in their eyes, and pounded the Clippers all over the ground. Our folks hollered' foe the Delphi boys out of pure hospitality, but their hearts, of course,, were most with the- Clippers. It was a good game, ail round,, and the muffing, especially, was immense. It grew dark early, but none too soon to suit tl*e Clipper* Only 8 innings were played, at the eir 1 of which the ucore stood as follows: Red Stockings.;: 32 Clippers 2.i Billy Legg was the- umpire, ®ad gave general! satisfaction.
