The report that a prominent but greatly disproportioned couple from Remington came to Rensselaer and were married Sunday, seems to have lacked foundation in fact. Deputy Circuit Clerk Burnham reports that tjie docket of the approaching term of the Circuit Court will be the heaviest for several years. The Valparaiso Vidette reports that Mr. Alva Leonard, who lately visited his friends, Mr. L. L. Daugherty’s people, here, is very sick, b\it does not specify the nature of the disease. A New Store. —-Messrs Ellis and Murray, two young'men from Kokomo, have rented the store room in Leopold’s stone building, and propose putting in a large stock of notions exclusively.

Mr. Ludd Hopkins, the merchant, has greatly improved the appearance of his corner by a tasteful coating of paint upon his store and dwelling, and an elegant iron fence in front of the latter.
