Tlie jovial, jolly Tom Farden returned from Pine Village on Monday last, looking as though the air of that isolated place had done him much good.

Mr. James Hemphill/ engineer on the Southern Pacific Railroad, is visiting .relatives and f riends in his boyhood home, Rensselaer, during a short vacation. Temperance meeting next Saturday night. The friends of temperance ought to attend every meeting if possible. Miss Parris Resigns.— Miss Lydia Parris writes from Bridgewater, Dakota, to the school board here, informing them that she has decided not to accept a position in the Rensselaer school for the ensuing year. We understand that she is so favorably impressed with the prospects of Dakota, that she has concluded to take a pre-emp-tion and a tree claim, and remain long enough to perfect her title to the pre-emption. *

J. M. Plunket, who now officiates as a guard at the State Prison North, came down from Michigan City last Friday and remained with his family until Saturday afternoon. He is enthusiastic in his praise of the efficiency of Warden Murdock, and also of his worthy Deputy Thos. E. Donnelly,—who makes a most excellent officer, and under their discreet management affairs at the Prison are admirably appointed and everything works like a charm.—“ Remington News.”. Killed .by the Cars.—The morning tr&in which passed Rensselaer on Wednesday of last week, discovered the remains of a man near the station. of St. John, north of Cedar Lake, who had probably been killed by the down train the evening before. The members of the Rensselaer base bf»l club, who were on the train at the time the man was found, report that he was tom and mutilated almost beyond the semblance of humanity. Fragments of his body being strewn along the track for many rods. He was a resident of that vicinity, we understand, and was going home drunk, and went to sleep on the traek.

WALKER ITEMS .

Haying will be postponed until more favorable weather. Isaac Clawson has the job of plastering the Wheatfield mansion. Organs, instrumental as well as Vocal, afforded splendid music for the young folks at J. L. Hershman’s. Mr. Henry Dittmer has gone to Nebraska to see how the land lays. If it suits, he expects to make it his home. The Sunday school - at Hershman, under the supervision of Henry Darner, is a decided success. One J. J. Burton, manager of the Selleck ranch, came up missing the other day, with four horses and a buggy. The owner is looking him up. “When I can read my titles clear.” Clear titles are the best, but John Wenerick says despite his efforts the boys have got a “lean” on his yard gate. Mr. S. F. Brown celebrated his seventieth birthday, on Wednesday last, with a big dinner. He is one of the oldest settlers of the township. Long Bill.

Church Notes.

Elder Cissel held large meetings at the Pine Village tabernacle last Sunday. Many coming from Attica and Boswell. The subject of the afternoon discourse was the “Power of Faith” and worth a year of life to hear. —“Oxford Tribune.” The Rev. J. J. Claypool will administer the rite of baptism, by immersion; to several persons this, (Thursday) evening. The candidates and their friends will meet at Mr. Claypools house at 6 o’clock p. m., and from thence repair to the river. Tne Rev L. Nebeker, of Battle Ground, preacher at the M. E. Church last Sunday; both morning and evening. The subject in the morning was: The Forces that are about us. in the evening: Infant church membership. The congregation in the evening was large. FROM THE DISTRICT REPORTER: We clip the following items from the J uly number of Doctor Cissel’s paper, the “District Reporter.” Remember the camp meeting August 2nd to 16th. A very largo and profitable meeting is expected. The Rensselaer Quarterly Conference passed a resolution requesting the Bishop to return Rev. J. J. Claypool to that charge next year. ‘ Rensselaer has one superannuate and four local preachers. Certainly a good supply for,one charge. Bro. Claypool ought to accomplish much with so many helpers. The dancing church members are not expected at the weekly prayermeeting. The praying church members are not expected at the dance. Everybody has a practical understanding of these things. f Rev. T. R. Faulkner, pastor of. Medaryville circuit, will; at our next conference, ask for a location. He expects to move to Maryland and engage in agricultural' pursuits. We have found Bro. F. to be a Christian gentleman, a faithful minister, and groatly regret to lose him.

Three Score and Ten.

The relatives and friends of S. F. Brown, surprised him, Wednesday the 18th, by collecting in a large number at his residence in Walker township, where they celebrated his seventieth birthday anniversary. A bountiful table was spread, containing the most excellent food ever eaten on such an occasion, and was especially characterized by the “large delicious cake” prepared by Mrs. Laura Kelley, of Shelby Co. After dinner, a number of presents were awarded to Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Music and conversation were the further exercises -of the afternoon. Everybody seemed happy. The names ot those present are as follows. Scott Brown and wife, Emma Brown, Asa Brown and wife, Lillie Brown, Ralph Brown, Harry Brown, Ira Brown, William Brown, Della Brown, Mrs. Nannie Barrow and daughter, Jennie, of Johnson Co., Mrs. Jane Coffolt and Addic Coffelt of Johnson Co., Mrs. Laura Kelley and son Ralph of Shelby Co., Calvin McConnehay, and wife, Grace McConnehay, Cleo Me Connehay, Jesse Osborn and wife, Rebecca Osborn, Frank Osborn, Laura Osborn, Mary Osborn, Letitia Osborn, Rilla Osborn, John Wenrick and wife, Rosa Wenrick, Uncle Jesse Wilcox and wife, Jesse Wilcox, Flora Wilcox, Geo. Wilcox, Anna Stalbaum, Mary Heferliri*:. Emma Hershman, Frank Hershman, Lillie Hershman, Mrs. Mary Zigler, Vena Bouk, James Cooper and wife, Jane Newcomb, Mrs. William Campbell, Mrs. Lydia Hamelton, Mrs. George Andrews, Mrs. EUa Markins, George Stoner and wife, and Millie Robinson. Mr. Brown is a good man, and well worthy the respect shown him by his friends.

The circus was the all-absorbing topic of conversation yesterday, and the streets were orowded all day by people ftrom the country and neighboring towns, who had come to the city to see the big show. The street parade in the morning was an excellent display, the wagons and chariots being artistically painted and the animals in open cages; a band of Indians and a calliope, and a score of elephants and oamels adding to the general interest. The afternoon performance crowded the tent, all the seats being filled. The display of animals was excellent, the principal attractions being' an immense herd of elephants, two immense hippopotami, a two-horned rhinoceros, a number of sea lions, and the usual complement of tigers, hyenas, and lions. The animals were particularly clean and well kept. The ring performance was one of the best ever given in, this city. Last night the jam was. simply awful, and before 8 o’clock the management was obliged to clpsethe doors, fully 1,500 people being turned away. To the credit of Sells Brothers it can be said that their show proved so attractive and popular that they had to turn people away in Indianapolis. They have a good show, and richly deserved the patronage , they received. — “Indianapolis Journal, May 4.”

The North American Review for August opens with a very spirited discussion of the subject of “Moral Instruction in the Public Schools,” by tho Rev. Dr. R. Heber Newton, who offers a practical scheme for conveying ethical instruction without reference to religious tenets, and the Rev. Dr. Francis L. Patton, who maintains that the Bible must be made the basis of all moral teaching. Henry D. Lloyd exposes the tricks and frauds of speculation in grain, which operate to make bread dear, and maintains that they should be repressed by law, as being flagrantly in opposition to public policy. “Women in Politics,” by ex-Surgoon-General Wm. A. Hammond, is a causfeJ ic discussion of certain facts of QggjM ous organization which in bis opitfrov render the female sex unfitted for participation in public affairs. Hon. Francis A. Walker reviews “Henry George’s Social Fallacies”, criticizing in particular his doctrines regarding land-tenure and rent. The evils resulting from “Crude Methods of Legislation,” both- national and State, are pointed out by. Simon Sterne, who advocates the adoption of certain rules of legislative procedure which, in English practice, have been found to serve as & effectual barrier, both against lobbying and against the mischiefs of ill-con-sidered law-making. Charles F. Wingate writes of “The Unsanitary Homes of the Rich,” and there is a joint discussion ,of “Science and Prayer," by President Galusha Anderson and Thaddeus B. Wakeman. Published at 30 Lafayette Place, New York, and for sale by booksellers generally.
