Gougar Go Bragh—Th,e great case is ended and has resulted in a decisive victory for Mrs. Gougar. The jury in their verdict gave her SSOOO, damages. Lafayette Victorious.-A special from Lafayette in yesterday’s Inter-Ocean says that the directors of the L, N-A. & C. railroad, at their New York meeting, on Tuesday, decided to locate their shops at Lafayette, on condition of a slight change in her proposition. Observers of Celestial plenomena were favored with a rare and beautiful spectacle Monday evening. The new moon, presenting that peculiar appearance known as “the new moon in the old moon’s arms,” was in very close conjunction with the planet Saturn, the two Celestial wanders coming almost in apparent contact at one time.

Looks a little Snobbish.

We have received from the Interior Department, through request of Mr. DeMott©, (for which much thanks,)" a copy of a Compendium of the Tenth Census. We, were obliged to return to Washington a receipt for the same inclosed in a ready addressed envelope which bore this printed legend: THE HONORABLE, The Secretary of the Interior, Washington, D. C. • Now *we would rise to remark that we have no doubt but that the Secretary of the Interior is intirely deserving to be called Honorable, but at the same time we would t consider him in no wav less honorable, and a great deal less snobbish were he to eschew “The Honorable” on envelopes addressed to himself, by his own orders.

A' Beet hard to beat. —Last year J asper county got away with all her neighbors in everything she showed up with, the finest wheat, the tallest hay, the largest turnips, the longest bull snakes, the prettiest girls, the heaviest hogs, the champ-' ion base-ball muffers, &c. This year we enter the contest early, and shall stay right by it, till the end, and shy our castor into the ring in the form of a garden beet, brought to this office by Mr. Madison Makeever. It is twelve pounds long, and weighs eight inches; or is eight pounds long and weighs twelve inches, or an arrangement of weight and dimensions to some such effect as the above. We do not, nt this time, assert positively that the vegetable is wholly of the present season’s growth, but if the honcp of Old Jasper seems to require it, our devil will make affidavit to that effect next week. “None but the Brave.”—A good many of our readers will be interested in learning tile fate of the gay and gallant commander of t ie brave, but bloodless, band that put the play of “The Spy of Attn, ta” upon the boards at the Rensselaer Opera House last winter. The following marriage notice, clipped from the last issue of the “Winamac Republican,” needs no further explanation. We congratulate the Colonel and wish himself and bride much happiness. “Married. —On Sunday evening, April Ist, 1883,-at the residence of the brides parents in Winamac, by Lev. A. Lewis, Col. A. Newton Fi*LD, of Chicago, and Miss Tra- ( Baker, daughter of Mr. Heujy Baker. The bride and gfoom hft on $lO midnight train P.ankfort, this State, where they , reside lor the present. ”

About Dakota.

We think it was a cynical Frenchman who gave a whole volume of “Advice to people about to enter the state of matrimony” in the one word “don’t. ” Our advice to people about to join the universal stamped for Dakota, is not to be in a hurry for a few weeks yet, and in justification of that advice we ask them to read the following article from last week’s issue of the “Jimtown Pilot,” a paper published at Altoona, (formerly Hitchcock) in Beadle county. “People coming here with their stock are badly disappointed because they cannot get lumber to build with. There is such a rush for Dakota, and especially the Jim River Valley, that it is impossible for'the raihoads to transport the Emigrant moveables, and yet the management of the roads must hold up and send in fuel and lumber or the people now here will suffer. There is not a pound of coal in Altoona to-day, and hundreds of people are waiting for lumber to build shanties to live Jin, and stables to shelter . their ; stock. We cannot live without fuel to burn and as the railroad officers are fully advised of the critical condition that the people are in, it seems as if they ought to bring coal and lumber before bringing more people and stock into the country. Nearly all the towns in Dakota, along the line of the Northwestern, are short of coal and lumber and great suffering and inconvenience must ensue if the railroad company does not furnish these much needed supplies at once.”

The Mew Railroads.

In order that our readers may know that neither of the two projected railroads through Rensselaer is yet dead we give an extract in regard to the Detroit, Indiana and St. Louis from the “Noble County Democrat” and another in regard to the same from the “Rochester Sentinel,” and from the same paper one in regard to the Rochester, Rensselaer, & ■ St. Louis. The survey of the Detroit, Indiana & St. Louis railroad, or “Gold Spike,” as it has been called, has at last commenced in earnest. Mr. A. T. L. Kist, President of this road, called at the Democrat office yesterday and informed us that the survey of the road was m full operation, and that the prospects for the early completion of the road were very flattering. President Kist started this morning with a corps of surveyors and assistants, from this place, (the names of whom were given in our paper a few weeks since), for Fayette Ohio, where they will commence to survey, coming west, passing through Albion, and on to Bloomington, 111. All that is now needed to assure the completion of the road is for the people along the line to do do their share to aid the matter. From a map shown us it is seen that this road is almost an air line to Bloomington from Fayette.. The officers of the new road are:' A. T. B.Kist, President; Hon. Hiram Iddings, Vice President; Samuel W. Oldfather, Secretary; Washing Bybee, Treasurer; President Kist exhibits a great deal of zeal and enterprise in this matter, and seems to be the very man needed to push the project through. “Noble County, Democrat.” The new railroad projected from Fayette, Ohio, to St. Louis,, that takes in Warsaw and Rochester on its line, is dubbed the “Gold Spike” road. It is to be an extenstion of th** Canada Southern. A report j of the organization of the company ; for this new line was given in these columns a few months ago. Mr. A. S' Kist, of Warsaw, is the President of the company and be is diligently engaged, doing the preliminary work as fast as possible. . The building of the line is almost an assured fact. —“Rochester Sentinel.” But little is heard of late about the building of the Rochester and St. Louis branch of the Chicago & Atla*sic railway. The new company "Was incorporated some time ago, and we understand that the officers have beeh e ected and that Milo R, Smith is the secretary of

the new organization. Because there has been no noise made about the new road recently, is no evidence that it will not be built We have every confidence in its building and that work will be begun this season.—-“ Rochester Sentinel.”

Church Notes.

The Sunday School concert announced for lastZSunday evening, at the M. E. Church was abandoned on account of the fact that many of those who were to have taken part were unable to attend, on account of the measles. The Rev. Gilbert Small now preaches at the Presbyterian church on the first and third Sunday of each month. Next Sunday will be the next regular appointment.

The Methodists of Lensselaer will soon erect a new church. Churches are badly needed at that place to educate juryman in their duties.—“Kentland Gazette.” They deserve liberal encouragement.-' In all human probability two new houses of worship will be erected lU’Rensselaer during the present year. One by the Methodist Episcopal church society, the other by the Free A ill baptists. Nothing it seems to us, can do more for the money expended, to enhance the material prosperity of Rensselaer than two or three good new churches. And the better the buildings are, the more they add to the attractive appearance of the town, the greater will be the material benefits they will confer. Now, if we are correctly informed, both of the above mentioned churches have means sufficient guaranteed to warrant us in saying that buildings will be erected this year, but, at the same time, neither of them has, as yet, enough money assured them to erect such structures as the honor and best interests ’of the town really demand. Good substantial brick buildings, commodious and handsome, are what, by all means, the new churches ought to be. We ask the wealthy, the well to-do, and the public spirited people of Rensselaer and vicinity to give liberal aid to4hese enterprises, and thus give assistance to the causes of religion, morality, and public impi eveipent.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

The sickness of which we have written in former letters is decreasing daily. The measles have stopped for want of material to work on, Everybody that had not previously had the disease, yielded this time, from the babe in arms to the gray-haired sire. It will be many years, we trjist, before Remington -will receive a like visitation again. There is a good field here now open to speculators. There is so much property being offered for sale at such low figures, both town and. farm and the country around Remington is so good, that, in the natural order of things, the price must advance, and some man who is wise will wake up some morning and find himself rich. Rents are already advancing and with the good season we confidently expect to have, Remington will made a new and vigorous start toward prosperity. A marriage was solemized in Monticello, on Monday morning of this week, the contracting parties being Mr. W. H. Wells the genial and gentlemanly cashier at Exchange Bank and Miss Ida Kingsbury a handsome and accomplish ed young lady of Monticello. Mrs. W. F. Butler and Miss India Butler have gone to Amboy j Ind ,to visit friends and relatives, 1 and to attend the. wedding of Miss Alina Pearson a sister of Mrs. Butler. Mr. John Phelps and bride arrived on the Wafiash train eaily last Sunday morning. They are at present stopping with Mr. and • Mrs. Phelps, sen. j. Mrs. C. H. Price was in town last Tuesday, in route for Indianapolis to attend the grand Chapter of the 0. E. 8. She expects to join Mr. Price in Dakota, in about ■ two weeks.

Acting upon our suggestion of last week, some parties talk of collecting all the anonymous letters about town and having them printed, such as are mild enough to bear- publication We hardly

think it advisable as it would give a certain notoriety to a set of thugs who will hang themselves at last, if you wish to give rope enough. A responsible gentleman, of our acquaintance goffers five dollars toward a fund for the ferriting out, of the authors of these beautiful, chivalric, and high toned productions. Remingtonian. WALKER ITEMS. Thomas Markin and Lew Stockwell are on the sick list. Jacob We ner has engaged in the business of peddling. Route from San Pierre to Nubbin Ridge.

Squire Tinkham has purchased a store in San Pierre to which place he wiH move and open business. The squire will have many friends who wish Dim success. A Sunday school was organized at Pleasant Grove school house, last Sue day with Joseph Tanner as superintendent, Organist, Miss Kennedy and Jno. Meyers librarian. Eric Erickson, of Evansville, has purchased a large tract of land in thisTp., and is now building a large and costly mansion when complete, will be the finest in northern Jasper.
