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.

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.
