The weather oyer this way vfttMfris writing (Monday afternoon) is bright and beautiful.

School opened this morning, with Prof. Fagan as principal, ?lnd teacher of Grammar department. Miss Irwin, Miss Nelson and Miss Bipod- in the other rooms. The enrollment for toffiiy was one hundred and feighty four, which is considered Very good for the first day. Wo hope that all of them, teachers and pupils, may have a pleasant and profitable-winter, together. Rov-/VV» IL Vance returned last. Thursday, and preached the first sermon of 4 the conference year, last evening. The elopement of Mrs. Bigelow and Dr. Jones, of Chicago, was a sad surprise to the friends and acquaintances of the lady in this place. , Those who knew her best, thought her a most devoted and loyal wife. She was a women of fine personal appearance and of more than ordinary talent. Charles McCully, an ex-employee of the State, for whom much sympathy is felt, arrived at this place from Michigan City last Wednesday. :He conies broken in health and spirits, and we are sure the good people of Remington (of whom there are so ipany) will extend the hands of aid and sympathy. The new “official saloon” in J. O. B. McDougle’s new building, seems to be doing a thriving business, judging from fie number of men, old and young, who frequent the place to their, own adieu. . ' .
