PERSONAL AND OTHER MENTION.

Mr. and Mrs. J. U. Kerr, arrived at Rensselaer frbm California Tuesday morning. |The state of Mr. Kerr’s health is considerably improved. We hear it remored that J. V. W. Kirk and another! party is about to rent one of tho'new rooms of John Makeover. We hope such may be the case, both to have uncle John’s room bring him rent, and also to have J. V.' W. K., open a shop of his own. A correction. —Mr. M. O. Halloran denies positively- and, we doubt not, truely, the ! report of a row in his saloon last Saturday evening. There was some pretty loud talk either inside the saloon or on the side-walk in front, and the report of a fight probaly arose from that circumstance. Messrs J. J. Burton and J. H. Selliok, two solid citizens of talker township were in town Wednesday. These gentleman are owners of large stock farms M Walker, to which place they lately removed from Wisconsin. i v Fairchild Bros, are seven miles p£ the Indiana,. Illiinois and lowa Railroad in Keener and Wheatfield townships. They are promptly paying good wages for men and We learn they are “pushing things.” The people of Keener township have measles to go around this time. The famil es of Daniel and Elam Fairchild are sorely afflicted. The former we learn, has six or seven sick and the latter five, Elam ■ lost a daughter about 13 years old. ~1- "

The, Ladies Literary Society will meet at Mrs. W. T. Jones, Saturday afternoon, Feb., 3d at 2 o’clock. Mr. Berry Parris is recovering from a short but severe sickness, which threatened at one time, to develop into typhoid fever. So far as heard from Mr. W. F. Shaffner, the trustee of Wheatfield tp., is the only citizen of Jasper who has been honored with an invitation to testify in the Gougar-Mandler case at Lafayette. After long waiting Mr. M. D. Rhoades, our fellow townsman, has at last received his pension from the Government. The arrears amount to nearly $1,500.00. Mr. Rhoades is to be congratulated. Judge Hammond did not go to Logansport, this week, to hold court as intended, having been detained at home. by the continued serious illness of Mrs. Hammond’s mother, the venerable., Mrs. Malinda Spitler. Mr. M. B. Price, better known as Myrt, and a brother of Charles H., and the others, came in on the morning train Tuesday from Huron, Dak., near which place he has located a land claim. He speaks very favorably of Dakota, and thinks the winter has been no colder in Huron, than in Jasper county. He will return to his claim in March. Marriage Licenses for January. —Chas. M. Peck, Minerva Fishburn; Joseph Ellis, Rachel H. Phebus; Adam W, Shidler, Melissa Parks; Geo. W. Huffman, Lilly P. Pruett; Thomas Randle, Martha A. Tillet; Isae N. Dern, Isabelle Hopkins.

The Temperance 'Meetings, Special Notice. —Daring the continuance of the protracted meetings in the various churches* or until further notice, the Blue Ribbon meetings will be discontinued. Chas. W. Coen, Pres. Clark Price, Sec’y. Gone to Plainfield.— Deputy Sheriff, Oliver Robinson, took Jack Halloran to the reform school at Plainfield, Tuesday, where he will remain, at his father’s expense, until he attains his majority. The indictments against liim in'the Jasper Circuit Court, are continued, and will probaly never be brought to trial so long as he conducts himself properly. M. F. Chilcote and 0. H. Price of Rensselaer, were on beard the L. N-A. & C, train last week when it ran off the track near Battle Ground. The train was badly wrecked, and passengers much shaken up, and some of them, Mr. Price for one, slightly bruised; but the principal injury to the passengers resalted from their being exposed, for an hour oi two, to the freezing weather while waiting for another train.

The Swedisii Lady Quahtette: —These Indies possess a national reputation, are thoroughly trained musicians, with excellent voices, so alike in timbbe as to blend most harmoniusly. Their extensive ItEPebu'OIBE embraces many English, French and Gefman songs# as well os their own national airs. This unique combination has already filled a, highly successful season, and is"considered by managers one of the best companies -before the public. They are sure to satisfy the purest and most fastidious taste. ‘ ‘ At the Opera House, Saturday evening, Feb. 3d, 1883. 4 The Sick List.*— Mrs. Mhlinda Spitler is no better. V Mrs. A. W. Wood is very low with the consumption. M, E. Baylor is very sick with scarlet fever. M. F. Chilcote has been confined to his honse for some days with a throat dificulty, the tesultof a very severe j Cold. „ >

Miss Jennie Duvall returned to Rensselaer, from Valparaiso, last Thursday. Mr* Alfred McCoy is doing as weU as can be expected, with her broken limb. Mrt M. E. Baylor is reported very sick with the scarlet fever. Bad for Mr. Baylor, and the community also. A number of the friends of Mr. Auditor Nowels surprised him with a pleasant little party Tuesday evening, in honor of his birthday. The best place to buy is where they keep first class goods and make prices reasonable. R. F. Priest & Broe. keep just such a place, try them. Caution: —Do not leave your own town for Dental operations, when you have first class Dentists residing here, who are always ready and willing to do your work at lowest living prices. . .i 11 w—■ » ■— i R. F. Priest & Bros, have still a complete stock of Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, and furnishing goods, and will make you prices as low as anyone can, and do business. y * '«»■ '■■ T* - '■ l Notice: —For first class Dental work, call at Dr. I. 0 Kelley’s.

Musical.

G. Hull. Address, WILLETB BROS., Columbia City, Ind. Hear Instruction and be wise: —Consult your family dentist as you would your family Physician. Teeth should be brushed with a pure dentrifice. Acids, alkalies, pickles and ices are injurious to the teeth. Children ehould early and constantly be drilled in the care of their teeth. Diseases are more easily prevented than cured.

An Agreement.

It is announced that the Louisville and New Albany and the Chicago and Atlantic Roads have agreed upon terms whereby the former road will use the tracks of the Chicago and Atlantic from its terminal point at Hammond to the Western Indiana connection, a distance of about a mile and a half. Trains on the Louisville and New Albany Read will probably be running via Hammond in a couple of weeks. Prominent officials of the Louisville Road deny that there is aDy truth to the report that radical changes are soon to take place in the management of the road. It is in a very prosperous condition at present. “Inter-Ocean.” Miss ,Ed a Eliel:— Miss Eda Eliel has read successfully before the most critical audiences in the leading cities, from New York to the Mississippi Yalley, and wherever she has appeared has met with a most cordial and Enthusiastic reception. Some of the most eminent men and women of America are among her many admirers, who have been lavish in praises of her, both as a lady and an artist; but her modesty and good sense have always protected her from any vanity which praise sometimes creates. Mifm Eda Eliel is the possessor of a most rich and melodious voice, well trained and under good control. Her splendid facial expression and her great versatility enable her to excel in the sublime as well as in the intensely humorous., At the Opera House, next Saturday evening, Feb. 3d.
