Miss Jessie Draper, of Remington, looked in upon the Republican office for a moment last Saturday. Leopold’s new front in his stone building adds very much to the attractive appearance of Washington Street. s The M. E. Church -Festival last Friday evening netted some $9.35 and was a reasonably pleasant oc • casion, withal.

Mrs. 0. W. Clifton has returned from Indianapolis, with the intention, we understand of remaining in Rensselaer.

A special train went south over the L., N-A. & C., Tuesday at about 10:30 a. m., having on board General Phil. Sheridan and party, who were on their road to Louisville to meet President Arthur. Two of our brethren of the press gladdened The Republican office on Circus Day, A. J. Kitt editor of the Goodland Herald, and Ed. Graham, foreman in the Remington News office. Call again, gentlemen. Mr. G. W. Terhune, a former resident of Rensselaer, sends us a copy of the Raton, New Mexico, Daily Independent. It is a four column folio, with the emaciated and unwholesome appearance of a daily paper in a bi-weekly town.

Mr. Alva Leonard and family, from Valparaiso, visited the family of Mr. L. L. Daugherty last week, and over Sunday. It was Mr. Leonard’s first visit to Rensselaer, and he freely expressed himself as well pleased with our charming little town. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Gleavland returned from an extensive western tour last Friday evening. Their course took them first to Grand Rapids, Mich., thence across the lake to Wil waukee. Around the lake to Duluth, Minn., at the head of Lake Superior. From thence, southward through Minnesota and lowa to Kansas. They report a very enjoyable trip. Miss. Myra Price has accepted an offer of a situation as teacher in Lincoln University, at Marion, Alabama. The same institution in which Miss Candace Buroughs is now teaching. The School Board at Goodland were averse to lose Miss Price’s services, and offered her extra inducements to retain her position there, but without avail, however, ns she has definitly decided to go to Marion.

AGATE ITEMS.

Born:—To Mrs. John Crawford a daughter. That accounts for John's smiling countenance. Fishing and boat riding is much indulged in at present More fishing than fish however. Miss Flora Wilcox, of Elgin, HL, is visiting Miss Anna Brey. Mr. Cullins and son, Howard, have gone to Howard county, to put up their clover and timothy hay, preparatory to moving this fall. . Mr. Frank Inghram and sister Minnie, of Valparaiso, visited at Mr. Brey's the guests of Anna. Some of the feminine portion of Wheatfield are wishing to know who “Big Bill" is. Just call on me ladies, 1 shall be most happy to introduce myself. Miss Belle Sexton has been visiting parents and friends for the past two weeks, but has [returned to her home, in Monticello. Mr. Bush still continues very low. We are pained to notice that the old gentleman is gradually failing. Big Bill.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

We regret exceedingly that circumstances prevented us from writing our usual letter last week, as there was so much we wanted to say. We wanted to speak of the quarterly meeting services, of the gpmd sermons preached by the P. E. Dr. Cissel, of the great crowd that gathered to hear Dr. Gobin, the first pastor, after the building of church at this place, at present Prof, of Greek in the University at Greencastle. We wanted to tell of the communion and baptismal services so impressively conducted by Dr. Cissel and of the great interest manifested in the meeting by persons of all denominations. We meant also to record the fact that there were many visitors to our pleasant little town during that time chief among whom we will mention G. E. Marshall, editor of Rensselaer Republican, but it is too late now. We cannot say anything about them. The weather at this writing, (Monday morning,) is all that the farmers could desire, clear, bright, and cool, and they are busily engaged in making hay while the sun An immense crop of hay of good quality will be cured in this vicinity. “It is an ill wind that blows no body good." The late breeze among the telegraphers has wafted our young friend John A. Clark into a good position, with a good salary, of the Western Union Co., at Chicago. The attendance at the M. E. Sunday school is large and increasing rapidly in number and interest. The other churches and Sunday schools are also well attended, especially the Presbyterian.

The many friends of Dr. Landon and his good wife will be sorry to learn that they have disposed of their beautiful property on North Ohio street and are about to leave Remington. The Hon. Fred Hoover bought, and will occupy the Doctor’s handsome residence. Mrs. Wells and her daughter, Mrs. Mark Phelps, are visiting friends in Indianapolis. Miss Mary Shilling and Mr. George Shilling are the guests of their sister, Mrs. John E. Hollett. Several of the young people of Rensselaer, spent Sunday in our village. They seemed to have a good time. J. H. Fountain is a victim of heart disease and dropsy. His condition is somewhat critical.

Cheeky Sand-Cappers.

The Michigan City Ball Club boasted themselves that the Rensselaer “Huckleberry Pickers” would not have the sand to “tackle” their club again. As we stated last week, the Rensselaer boys answered the brag by a challenge to Michigan City to play here on the Bth and 9th of this month. The answer to the manly challenge, was an offer to play here on those days for sixty dollars, clear cash. A demand which, to say the least, is not characterized by excessive modesty, inasmuch as the “40 per cent, gate money” our boys received at Michigan City was mighty near a minus quantity. The Rensselaer club sent back a most appropriate response to their opponents, in the shape ofan offer-to raise the sixty dollars, if the Michigan Cities would come here, on Lheciwßs mentioned, and let the winning dim take the inoney. 1 ■■—

Goodland Herald:—A report that a man was killed in Goodland Wednesday night was circulated out South. Notwithstanding the fact that there are a few around hero that ought to be killed, the above report is false;

Wm. Bassett, farmer near South Bend says: “My eyes were very badly inflamed, and Brown’s Iron Bitters cured them.” The most deadly foe to all malarial diseases is Ayer’s Ague Cure, a com - bination of vegetable ingredients only, of which the most valuable is used in uo other preparation. This remedy is an absolute and certain specific, and succeeds when all other medicines fail. A cure is warranted.

A rainy day In the School room

Such days will come, and just how the teacher may get around them, and have all go on smoothly, is the question. Let me recommend. Instead of the regular recess, or noonday play upon the play ground, at a given signal, lei all rise, and with an appropriate song have a series of calesthenic exercises, afterward, march, and countermarch in true time, Ac., this will give physical exercise as well as amusement. But, of course - you must have desks that ■will close, ’ both top and seat, to give the necessary room for these exercises. The “Victor” is the only desk that will do this. A sample can be seen at F. J. Sears & Son’s, who are the Agts. of the “Victor” for Jasper county.
