REMINGTON ITEMS.

Dear Republican.—The sickness of which we spoke in out last letter does not seem to be abating any as yet. It seems to be generally a lnng trouble following the measles. There have been several deaths in and about Remingtoi\during the past week. -Mrs. Dobbins wife or Thomas Dobbins living fourmiles north-east of town, died on Wednesday. Mrs. Jacob Shews on Tuesday’ leaving husband and a large family of children to mourn their irreparable loss. Miss Eliza Rouse died at the residence of R. W. Hubbard six miles north-west of town on Tuesday. On Friday, Etta, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Hawn, living in Remington fell asleep and on Saturday evening Miss Rose Coffelt gave up the unequal contest. This last was a death of peculiar sadness.. The deceased was a very industrious girl almost the sole support of her infirm parents and younger brothers and sisters. She was twenty years old lacking a few days, and her short life had been one of patient toil. The careful attention of one of our best physicians and the kindness of sympathizing friends and neighbors brightened a little the close of a life which they could not prolong. The funeral oocured on Sunday afternoon, and was largely attended.

The weather still continues cold and unfavorable for out-of-doors work, but they who claim to stand among the prophets are faretelling an early and factorable spring. Some plowing has been done already, and more ground will be turned over next week. We had supposed that the anonymous letter writer, or writers, had left the country but if so, he, she or they, as the case, may be appointed a competent deputy, for the work goes bravely on. If these letters could be gathered up, and, sent over to the Republican ana printed “verbatim at literatim” it would make a column or more of spicy reading, and show beside the “true inwardness” of some of the RemingfopjCßns. The thirty fifth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Pettitt, occured on Monday evening April 2nd. A large number of friends met at J. Thompsons Jewalry store and proceeded to Mr. Pettitts pleasant and hospitable mansion where the evening was pleasantly spent. Piano, Organ, and guitar under the skillful fingers of Miss Ella Pettitt, Mrs. Emery and daughter Grace, Miss Ida Garrison and Will Middlesworth, made sweet music. The singing too, was much enjoyed by till pesent. The most noticeable feature of the evening, was the reading of an original poem by the Rev. J. B. Crowe, said poem, being a production from the pen of our esteemed citizen, E. F. Emery. Many handsome gifts were left as tokens of the esteem, in whiefi the bride and groom of thirty five years ago are held. May they live and celebrate their diamond wedding. ,J. Hon. Fred® Hoover, and son David Irwin, Mr. B. Hudson and some others, whose names we have forgotten, will join the innumerable caravan that is moving toward Dakota, in a few days. E. H. Briggs, Charley Peck, Mrs. M. L. House, Mrs. Isaac Tuckey, Miss Rosella Courtright and many others are cn the sick list.

Spring vacation at Asbury University and Charley Warner is home enjoying it. On his homeward way from Washington, we see it stated, Major Calkins came so near cremation in a door-locked burning sleeper that with other passengers he barely was let out alive with hair ana eye-brows signed and minus money, watch and .all his clothes except his pants. It was near Pittsburgh.—“ Valparaiso Vidette.”
