REMINGTON ITEMS.

Dr. Landon and family left for their new home in Wabash, Tuesday. Wabash will gain a good physician and a good citizen. Quite a number of our best young ladies are spending this week in attendance at the Institute, in Rensselaer. The last services for this conference year will be held next Sunday at the M. E. church; at the U. -B. church, one week frbm next Sunday. Mrs. Charles Jouvepat, of cA>wn Point, is the guest of Mrs. Dr. Patton. The many friends of Mr. ahd Mrs. Jouvenat will be sorry to hear that they are about to leave for a new home in the far west. The many friends of Miss Myra Price are sorry to know that she will soon take her departure for the land of ♦‘shades” but all join heartily in wishing her all possible success. One thing wo do know that our loss is great gain for the school into which she goes. The large barn on the premises of Mr. A. M. Traugh was entirely consumed by fire, early on Sunday evening. There were nine horses in the barn when the fire broke out and a large quantity of hay. The horses were all saved without injury except ope valuable mare, which was badly injured by coming in contact with a barbed wire fence. The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is generally supposed to have been the work of some incendiary, though some hold to the theory of spontaneous combustion. Remingtonian.
