Tiie Indiana State Legislature ■convenes to-day. Mr. W. H. Coover, the able and gentlemanly editor of the Remington News favored us with a pleasant call Tuesday. The planet, Venus, whose “doings on” with the siin, attracted so much attention about a month ago, is now morning star, and at her brightest aspect; so brilliant, indeed, as to be plainly visible till long after sun-rise, in clear weather, to those who know about where to look for her. From the notice which appears in another place it will be seen that the well known firm of Campbell & Farden, the boot and shoe men, is to be dissolved upon the first of next month. The business will be continued by the genial tmd popular Tom Farden, but Mr. Campbell, *we much regret to say, will probaly remove from Rensselaer permanently, his presnnt intention being to seek a location some place in the West.

A destructive fire visited tlie neighboring village of Goodland last week, resulting in the destruction of The Hopkins House, one or two restatiantfi, a barber shop, Guy’s drug store with all its contents, and the printing office of the Goodland Herald. In the case of the Herald we learn that Mr. Kitt, jhe proprietor, saved a considerable portion of lita type, and the rest of his loss not covered by insurance Avas made good by the public spirit and liberality of the citizens of tfie toAvn. The Herald will be suspended but for a few weeks. The play of “Enoch Arden,” derived from Tennyson’s beautiful and affecting poem of the same name, was given at the Opera House on Friday and Saturday, in accordance with previous announcement. Edward Wodisko* in the title role, Was of very unequal merit. In the earlier scenes of the play, both as a lover before the marriage, and later, as a husband parting from tlie beloved wife, he lacked tenderness of expression to a great degree; but later, on the desolate island, as the lonely, des A paring, half distracted

“Shipwrecktii sailor waiting for a sail; No sail from day to day;” And lastly as the nobly self-sacri-ficing, and utterly hopeless outcast, dying within sight of the beloved ones, his once, but uoav another’s, lie was fully equal to the difficult demands of the situation, and so powerful and effecting was his portrayal of the unhappy Enoch’s sufferings that many in the audience could not refrain from tears. Wm. Phillips is an actor of real meiit and of as fine a presence for the stage as we ever saw. The interesting and difficult character of the kind; but cranky, Shakesperian Dr. Grammit w r as sustained by him with unflagging excellence. Miss LettiG Hopkins, trade veiy acceptable Anna, and in some passages showed remarkable talents. As Miriam Lane, Mies Arilla Cottofi, although laboring under the disadvantage of a severe cold; carried out the part in good mat)-* Her.

Especial attention is called to the notice of a rail-road ' meeting to be held at the Court house next Saturday. The projected road-in regard to which the meeting is called, is to run, if we are correct, ly informed, from a point in Steuben county through Warsaw, Rochester, Winamac perhaps, and Rensselaer to Gilman, Illinois. Such -an east and west line is exactly what Rensselaer needs and we earnestly jirgb a large attendance at the meeting Saturday.

There was an exceedingly pleasant dance at the Opera House last Thursday evening. Some 30 couples of the “brave and the beautiful” shook them brogans to the breeze, and made up in vivacity what they lacked in numbers. Everybody seemed good-natured, gracious and at ease, and the dancing was done with a heartiness and alacrity that betokened keen enjoyment. At 8 o’clock the pleasure began and at the sensible hour of 12 they dissolved. It goes without saying that the musicwas good because the Orchestra Band . furnished it, and C. B. Steward managed the affair with old time efficiency. The Circuit Court:— The regular January term of the Jasper Circuit Court opened with a rather light docket. The grand jurors drawn for the term were: Ralphs W Marshall, Steward C, Hammond, Jos. G. Hunt, Ezra Bowman, H. I. Adams, John B. Leffler. Mr. Marshall was excused on account of sickness, and Wm. Saylor drawa to fill his place. The jury was made up of the following: John N. Baker, Fritz Zard, John W. Jacks, William Washburn, Stacy English, William Bull, Micha Halstead, James W. Conden, Lewis Rich, Spencer Hamilton, Peter Foulks, and John Q. A. Lamborn.

Another Daisy Dance.—An--a other holiday dance took place at the Opera House Monday evening. The attendance was about the same as on tlie preceding Thursday evening. The music Avas furnished by the same parties, and, as before, the unequaled Steward w r as floor manager. The previous dance was just about too nice for anything, but with one voice the participants declare this last to have been the very neplus ultra, the absolute and unapproachable superlative of all the dances of forty .seasons. First Anniversary .—The Baptist Sunday school, although the youngest, is one of the most flourishing institutions in the place. During tlie past year, the first of its existence, it has had an average attendance of 56 scholars, and its membership now numbers a total of 70. From the first it has been the special aim cf its officers to gather into the school some of many little w'aifs w*ho had not* before attended any Sunday School. Last Monday evening th£ school celebrated its first annKersary by h very successful New Year’s entertainment. The literary exercises Averb especially good; and a boat load of presents Avere destribitted among tlio scholars and visitors.

Free lecture:— Don’t forget that Gen. James R. Carnahan will lecture at the Opera House next Wednesday evening, Jan. lOtli; under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias. Admission free. Work on the C. & G. S. railroad west of Rensselaer, seems to have come to a staud-still, and a rumoi 4 is current to the effect that the heirs of the estate of A. J. Kent are raising such difficulties in regard to granting the right of way through the lands of tlie estate, that, even yet, there b a possibility that, P>r a reasonable consideration, the road might be brought to Rensselaer. ' —r— —r—- , Persons wishing to take tfie mor- 1 n ; ng train for any place north, will ] see, by retrence to the time table in j this paper, that it leaves Retissela-J er at »: >7 licit.instead of ■*;s as for* ' me fly.

MENE! TEKEL! PERES!

Read the fifth chapter of Daniel., Secure your tickets for Belshaz zar. . t The great feast scene, alone, is worth the price of admission. Belshazzar is pronounced by critics to be the finest work of the kind ever written! Belshazzar is rendered by the largest and best chorus of singers ever organized in Jasper county. Belshazzar contains 108 pages of beautiful solos and duets, bright sparkling trios, quartets and grand choruses. The handwriting on the wall, the failure of the astrologers, the call of Daniel and his successful • interpretation all appear in Belshazzar.

Obituary.

Died, on December 27, 1882, at her home, three miles north of Rensselaer, Mrs. Carrie L. wife of J. F. Warren. Mrs. Warren was born in Akron, Summit Co., Ohio.

Warren December 25,1870 She leaves two small children, one an infant, to live without: a mother’s love, as the pale messenger drew ne?,r, she expressed a willingness to die and a hope of a home with her Savior. She was a true frlfend, an affectionate mother and a loving wife. Loved the most by those who knew her best. “Dearest Carrie thou hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel; Hut, ’tis God thnt has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal.’’

A remarkably brilliant meteor was seen from this place last evening. It passed in a Avesterly direction at an altitude of about 45 degrees; and illuminated the whole vicinity with the brightness almost of day. The grand jury has been hard at work all the week, but with what result is of course not yet knoivn. A good many of the bhoys about town have been invited to honor the jury with a friendly call, and the hard bats of Remington also have been largely represented before the same body. *

SEEK * * health and avoid sickness. Instead of feeling tired and worn out, instead of aches and pains, wouldn’t you rather feel fresh and strong? You can continue feeling miserable and good for nothing, and no one but yourself can find fault, But if you are tired of that kind oflife, you can change it if you choose. How? By getting one bottle of Brown’ Iron Bitters, and taking it regularly according to directions. Mansfield, Ohio, Nov. 26, iß3i.
