The Township Trustees.-Tugs-day was the day appointed for the trustees of the townships to meet with the County Superintendent to make their reporta of the enumeration of school children in their respective townships. All the trustees were present, with the exception of Mr. McCullough, of Gillam. The substance of their reports will be given in The Republican as soon as the superintendent has worked them into a practicable shape.

A Condemned Dam.

Rensselaer will lose its dam by the Mill site but not its mill by a ( —) sight. Thanks to the fruitful brain of S. P. Thompson who conceived the plan of the Jasper County Draining Association, and to the energy and perservance of himself, and others, who have put the plan into execution, that great obstacle to the improvement of Central Jasper, the Mill Dam at Rensselaer, is at last to be improved off the face of the earth. The terms of the contract between The J. C. D. A. and Mr. E. N. Hyland, the proprietor of the mill, give to the former the possession of the dam and raceway upon the 24th of the present month, and from an official notice from Dr. Loughridge, the superintendent of the association, which appears in this issue of The Republican it will be seen that the dam is to be removed immediately after the date above mentioned. • Mr. Hyland, who is an enterprising ! and valuable citizen, and a good miller, is already making arrangments for putting an engine into the mill.

Circus Notes.

A rather thih show, but way ahead of no circus at all. Between the wisdom of the dogs and the foolishness of the alleged clowns, and some really toleable performances most everybody felt that they had got the worth of their money. The youngsters enjoyed it especially. It being a busy time with the country people the attendance at the afternoon performance was light, but in the evening the crowd was immense, all things considered. The Electric Lady was loaded, no mistake, and went off easy and often. Nearly every person who touched her hand felt a decided, and even, in many cases, unpleasantly powerful, electric shock. The Three-headed Songstress was exhibited inside a cabinet, only the heads being visible. It was an ingeniously contrived optical illusion; but just how it was done, we do not undertake to say. The group of “Trained Barbary Coursers and Branches” resolved themselves into a white horse, beautiful but without much sense, a handsome dark bay, which really was up to a number ot little tricks, and a diminutive donkey which knew but little more than the so called clown who had him in charge. The dogs were well trained and 'intelligent, and their performance was really the best part of the show. The show people themselves, though many in name, were few in number, f.nd, so far as we can learn, were all decent and well conducted people. The thieves, gamblers and pick-pockets who made things so lively when another circus was here a year sgo, were not heard of with this show. Landlord Blue, of the Makeeyer House, who boarded the whole show over Sunday, says that a more quiet and well behaved jot of people, or more honorable in their dealings, he never saw.

Green Gets the Bulge.

Indianapolis Times. Tlie driven well contest has been decided by the Supreme Court in favor of the Green patents; hence there is no recourse for those who are using these weils but to pay the patent royalty. This fact will doubtless start afresh the sharpers who make their livings by pretending to be owners of patents, and frightening uninformed farmers inbuying their fraudulent claims. Our advice to those who may be called upon to pay a royalty on one of these wells is to be settle on the best terms possible, without a law suit, but to be very careful that the person with whom this settlement is made is the authorized agent of the owners of the patent.

Vitalized Air.

■ This agent has been in vogue a great many years, and as yet no person has ever exj erienced bad effects from its use. it is composed of the same elements, as the air we breathe, Oxygen and Nitrogen, you, can experience the pleasant sensation wrought by the air and have teeth extracted, positively without pain or harm, at Dr. Kelley’s Dental rooms, over Imes & Meyer’s drug store;
