The farmers have begun spring work in earnest. The man who first said, “Nothing leather,” never had much experience with boarding house beefsteak. “The Rensselaer Blues” is the name chosen for the new base-ball club. The grand dance for the benefit of the club, takes place tomorrow evening at the Opera House. The boys are anxious for a good attendance. Postmaster General: Gresham has approved a design for the new two cent postage stamp. It will contain a profile of Washington similar to the present three cent stamp. The color of the new stamp has not yet been decided upon., A philosophic, but rather cynical, citizen of Rensselaer says that this world is a regular “dog-eat-dog” kind of a place any how, and wishes himself in Heaven with his coat tails full of red apples. He don’t think there would be much consolation in being the biggest dog in the kennel either, for all the little whiffets would be eternally nipping at his heels.

Removing the Post-office. — There has been some great deal of talk during the last few days to the effect that the post-office would shortly be removed to the room in Thompson’s corner building, lately occupied by Farden <t "Noland. We are without positive assurances and the matter but so far as can be gathered from general rumor, it seems highly probable that the change will be made.

Town Clerk Watson, this week gives through the. Republican, official notice of the approaching election. A call for a Republican mass convention to name candidates for the election is also issued this week by the committee. The Republican nomination will be equivalent to election, and all republican voters should take sufficient interest in the government of the town to attend, the convention and help to select good men for candidates.

Remington, Goodland and Kentland have all been visited by destructive fires withiii the last few months. Monticello had a narrow escape from losing her beautiful school-house. Winamac has been numerously scorched lately, and Plymouth has just had a big blaze. Rensselaer cannot always be more fortunate than her neighbors and her turn must come some time. There are a number of old fire traps in town which ought, by just rights to be burned down, but the objection to that consummation is that the old hovels cant bum without endangering the good buildings near them. Let us take warning from the evident dangers of our own situation* and from the misfortunes of our neighbors, and organize a. volunteer fire company. There are plenty of energetic young fellows around town who, at present,, can find no more profitable* method of spending their excers as energy than by unjointing their lingers, and blacking one anothers eyes wivh base-balls, who would be glad to furnish tlie physical" power necessary io run a fire company, if the men of means most interested, ’l.uuld supply the apparatus-,

The Draining Association.

The meeting for the purpose of completing the organization of The Jasper Oountv Draining Association was held at the Court House Saturday afternoon in accordance with previous notice. 8. P. Thompson, was chosen president ana Granville Moody, Bec’y, pro tern. By a vote of the meeting, the objects and purposes of the Association were limited to simplv acquiring and removing the mill dam and race-way Across the Iroquois at Rensselaer. One of the articles of association adopted at the meeting required the election, at that meeting, of a board of five directors who should have control of the business of the Association, and who should appoint one of their number to serve as president of the Board, another as secretary, another as superintendent, and another as solicitior. The directors are elected for one year and elections of directors are to be held on the second Saturday in April, of each year as long as the association exists. After the consideration and adoption of articles of the meeting proceeded to electa Board of Directors: The following being chosen unanimously: Alfred Thompson, Addison Parkison, S. P. Thompson, J.H. Lough-1 ridge, and Granville Moody. After the adjournment of the stock-holders meeting, the Board of Directors held a session and, made the .following apportionment of the officers of the board: President, Addison Parkinson; Secretary, Alfred Thompson; Treasurer, G. Moody; Superintendent, J. H. Loughridge; Solicitor, S. P. Thompson.

An Outrageous Proceeding.

About two months ago a tall, well dressed stranger entered Emmet Kannal’s store and addressing H. B. Smith, the gentlemanly clerk in the jewelry department, remarked that he had a watch which he was anxious to sell, inorder to raise some money to get out of town. Mr. Smith took the watch, examined it, found it of the “first water,” and paid the man his own price—-twenty-five dollars—for it. The transaction was fair in every respect, and Mr. Smith congratulated himself on getting an excellent bargain. On- Saturday last, an other Smith, whose front name is Grover, and who is high constable in the town of Rose Lawn, swooped down upon our Smith, and arrested him on a warrant issued by an other Smith, whose front name is George F., and who is a justice in the afore mentioned place. The warrant was issued on an affidavit made by one De Golyer, of vhrnish celebrity, who resides in the neighboring village of Chicago, and who is a nephew to the Washington De Golyer, of old, who was charged with filching from Uncle Sam’s capaciouszpockets to a considerable extent while paving the streets of the Capital. The affidavit charged our Smith, the first Smith referred to herein, with the larceny of the watch before referred to. It seems that the watch had been stolen, from De Golyer last fall while hunting near Beaver Lake, and being informed that our Smith, had in his possession one similar to it, he filed an affiidavit charging the latter with the theft of the watch, Mr. Smith went before his honor, the justice at Rose Lawn, accompanied bvWm. B. Austin, his attorney, when to the astonishment of all concerned, hishonor dismissed the proceedings against our Smith, the prosecuting witness ref using to proceed further with the case.. The whole affair was a high-handed outrage upon our fellow, townsman, and the man who filed the affidavit in the case, and who, .it is stated, is possessed of considerable property, should be made to know, that he cannot place in jeopardy the liberty of a fellow man, without cause, without placing also in jeopardy his own property in a civil proceeding for damages.

The rush, for Dakota still continues. In addition to the names mentioned, elsewhere in this paper of those who have departed for that booming land since our last issue,, are to be added, the names of Mr. Sam Scott, and son, who went last week, and of Robert Parris, who. started Tuesday morning.

Obituary.

Alexander Sharp, Sr., auditor of Newton county, died Monday the 9th inst., of Bright’s disease of the kidneys, in the 72 year of his age. His term of office as auditor lacked about a year of expiration at the time of his death. At a meeting of citizens held at the Court house, in Kentland, on the day of Mr. Sharp’s death, the following resolutions were adopted: Whxrkis, an All wise Providence has removed from our midst, our friend and fellow-citizen, Alexander Sharp, Ben., a man full of years, of faithful life as a member of the church, and honorable life as a public official therefore be it. Resolved, That while we must bow to the inexorable law of {death, we yet desire in this public manner to express onr feeling of deep regret at his loss and to. extend our most earnest sympathy to the friends and family of the diseased. Resolved, That in the disease of onr fel-low-citizen and neighbor, we recognize the fact that our country ft nd our town has lost a valued citizen, an incorruptible official, and as well the Christian community a member whose fidelity ran parallel with his pure life. Resolved, That as a tribute to his memory, we request that all places of business in the town be closed during the funeral services, from 10o’clock a. m. to 1 p. m. Wednesday 11th instant. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family and that they may be published in the papers of Newton, Jasper and. Benton counties.

Church Notes.

Last Sunday, being the third Sunday of the month, was the time of the Rev. G. Small’s regular appointment at the Presbyterian church. He preached morning and evening, and the Saturday evening previous. There being five Sundays in April this year, it will be three weeks before Mr. Small’s next appointment. Evening services last Sunday at the Baptist and Presbyterian churches, but none at the M. E. church. Social meeting at the M. E. church next Sunday morning, and preaching in the evening. The M. E. Sunday-school is reported in a very flourishing condition. The attendance last Sunday numbered in the neighborhood of 80. Work has been resumed on the Catholic church. The crack in the side wall, near the North corner, has nearly closed since the thawing of the ground and will not result in any very serious permanent injury to the building. No Church this year.—The previously mentioned building committee of the M. E. Church had a meeting last Tuesday and after a careful convassing of the situation concluded to build a parsonage the present season, aud to defer the erection of the church until another year. The new parsonage will occupy the site of the old one. Certain members of the committee have been desirous of securing some other location for the church than the one now occupied, but as the committee rejected all propositions to sell them lots, and have decided to build the parsonage upon the old site, it may be considered as settled that the new church, when built, will occupy the site of the present building■
