PERSONAL AND OTHER MENTION

George Hopkins has sold his house and lot to Isaac D. Barkley. Mrs. F. M. Oswald, of Kentland, is visiting the family of Mr. Jay Williams. Mr. Arnold and Joe Burns of Barkley township, are building dwelling houses. Mr. Noble J. York bought goods in Chicago, for Leopold’s Bazar, Thursday and Friday last. Casper Eiglesbach tie preparing to build a house and stable north of the school building. Miss Rosa Parris returned Saturday from a week’s visit to friends in Oxford and Attica. Charley Mayer, the tailor, the lost but not lamented, has settled in Wadena, Minnesota. Don’t forget the railroad meeting at the Court House next Monday evening. Hon. A. O. Marshall, an attorney from Joliet, 111., visited his mother and his brother, the editor, this week. Mrs. Isaac M. Stackhouse, of Indianapolis, is visiting old friends and acquaintances in and around Rensselaer. The Anti-Monopoly Convention in Chicago last week was attended by Messrs. J. A. Burnham, J. J. Waterbury, J. A. Pierce and Jonathan Pancoast.

The Rev. W. H. Vance, pastor of the M. E. Church at Remington, came to Rensselaer to visit his brother in the cause, the Rev. Claypool this week. Mrs. Lillie Anderson, who has been with Hemphill & Honan, for several months past, departed for her old home at Mason City, 111., on Tuesday morning. The good neighbors of Mrs. Wm. Price, of Barkley tp., whose husband was lately sent to the insane asylum, are harvesting her grain for her, gratis. The Hon. R. S. Dwiggins will start on an extensive business trip through the East, the latter part of this week. He will visit New York on business connected with the Continental railroad during his absence. Brother McEwen’s improved method of spelling “Bloody Shirt,” as per the last issue of the Democratic Sentinel, may be well enough adapted for the. pages of a democratic paper, but hardly seems likely to come into general use. ■e • - * Twelve hundred dollars is the highest bid for the ' old school building and grounds.

The Teachers Elected.

The School Board of Rensselaer has selected teachers for the ensuing year, as follows: Superintendent and principal of High School, P. H. Kirsch. Teacher of the Grammar Department, Mrs. C. P. Mitchell. For the remaining Departments, not yet assigned. Misses Amanda W. Osborne, Lille Bartoo, Lydia Parris and May Miller. ' In regard to the newly chosen Principal, Mr. Kirsch, we quote the following; Prof. George P. Brown, Pres’t of the State Normal School says; “P. H. Kirsch is a man in every way qualified for the Superintendency of your schools, if there is a v acancy. He has a broad education, a Ihrge experience and is a thorough gentleman.- He graduated from the professional course of this institution this year.” Crawfordsville Review.—-“ Prof. P. H. Kirsch has accepted the position of Superintendent of the Rensselaer Public Schools. Prof. Kirsch is one of the best teachers in the State, and the Rensselaer people have made a most excellent choice.” Rensselaer Lodge, No. 100, A. O. U. W„ has secured the room over Leopold’s stone building. The lodge meets every Monday evening.

A Social Surprise.

Dr. J. W. Horton, the successful young dentist, who has been with Dr. I. C. Kelley since the beginning of a present year, prepared a very neat surprise for the social circles for this town las’t week; On the evening of the Fourth, Miss Mattie Smith, a charming and accomplished young lady, came to Rensselaer, from Union City, Michigan. On the following afternoon, the Rev. J. J. Claypool gunited ; the Doctor and Miss Smith, in the matrimonial bonds. The wedding took place at the residence of Mrs. L. A. Moss, in the presence of Jier family and boarders, and Dr. and Mrs. I. C. Kelley. Miss Lola Moss and Mr. T. J. Farden acted a bridesmaid and groomsman for the occasion. Although the Doctor has been among the people of Rensselaer but a few months, his man y amiable qualities have already made him universally popular, and his many friends will join with The Republican in wishing for himself and the prepossessing lady who has just become his bride, long life and good fortune.

WALKER ITEMS.

The prospects for crops are slim, on account of wet weather. Many of the farmers are talking of emigrating west. Mr. Austin Way has sold his farm, and will go into business at San Pierre. Many of our young folks took in the excursion on the 1.1. &I. railroad, on the Fourth. D. M. Guard is spending the vacation in Rose Lawn. Mrs. Harrison Ferrel and daughter, of Logansport, are visiting relatives and friends at this place. Many of the farmers subscribed sums of from two to ten dollars, for the station on the 1,1. & 1., to be located at Wheatfield. The people of the Southern’ part of the .county generally suppose that Walker is within the bounds of Nubbin Ridge, but they are badly mistakken, for we now support three Sunday schools, and five preachers. Beat that! The librarian of the Pleasant Grove School house has been impreached and J. W. Tanner elected in his stead. Ths Rev. Miller will preach at the Walker School house Sunday, July 22", at four o’clock p. m. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shirer, of Wheatfield, spent the Fourth with friends at this place.

Base Ball Notes.

The Comets played a very nice game at Rose Lawn on the Fourth, and got away with the Lowell club with a good deal of ease. Tho Comets have accepted a challenge to play two games with the Michigan City club. . The games will take place on the 18 and 19 of this month, at Michigan City. Excursion rates have been secured on the railrqads and it is expected that a large number of the friends of the Rensselaer club will go with them, to witness the games. The Rensselaer club is to receive 40 per cent, of the gate money for their expenses. The Comets are anxious .to play the concluding game with the Monon club, but the latter seem not at all eager, for the contest. The Comets played a neat practice game, Friday afternoon, with a picked nine composed of two members of the Michigan City nine, two good players from Milwaukee, Wis., one from Chicago, and four from this place. The Comets won by a score of eleven to three. The Momence club, which got away so badly with the Rensselaer nine, last year, is expected to come over to Rensselaer to play with the Comets before many weeks.

Fire at Fowler. —A fire at Fowler Tuesday burned the Fowler Bank building, Jacob Smith’s Shoe Store and some other buildings. The loss is stated at 86,000, with insurance of $4,000.

LONG BILL.

Complimentary to the Manage* meat of the I<. N-A. A C. In speaking of the great improvements to the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago roadbed and equipments the last three years, the New Albany Ledger says,: “Formerly the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railroad was one of the most inconsiderable railroads In the State. It had but few connections and no actual termini except New Albany and Michigan City. AU this has been changed, and Chicago, the great city of the lakes, and Louisville, the central city of the Ohio basin, are linked together by it. and a large part of the commerce of the Northwest and South is destined to pass over it. The roadbed, track and equipments are first-class now where they were formerly a delusion and a snare. The management is vigorous, enterprising and sufficiently liberal to give the road great popularity. Connections are established with all main lines north, south, east and west. AU this means a prosperous future, a paying stock and one of the most popular routes between the North and South. The transformation ot the L- N-A. & C. has been complete. The young, new blood has infused new life into it and will speedF -..bring it into the first rank amoig Western raUroads.”
