Circuit court in Newton county, this week. , Prosecuting Attorney Walker lias so far recovered his health as to be able to attend to his official duties. Lieut. J. M. Wasson, returned Monday evening from a trip tu Union City, this state, and Neu 7 London, Ohio. At New London, the Lieut, attended a re-union of his old regiment, the 40th, Ohio. He reports an immensely good time. Rensselaer citizens, who attended the soldier’s re-unipn, at Fowler, last week, say that it was well conducted and a success in all respects. Of course it did not quite equal the re-union at' Rensselaer, last year, hut thiit of course was hardly to be expected. The people of Rensselaer “laid themselves out” to have “the great” re-union, and thej T had it, for a fact. AVork on McCoy’s building was resumed last Friday, after a suspension of two days. Nothing being done, b.owevf-r, upon that portion of the proposed wall yhich encroaches upon Van Rensselaer street. In the meantime the controversy between Mr. McCoy and the Town Board seems as far from settlement as ever. A new school house, in Newton tp., near Lucius Strong’s place, was destroyed by fire last week. The building was just being painted, and it is supposed the fire originated by the spontaneous combustion of Uncle Henry Smith’s painting clothes, which he had left in the building. We understand that Uncle Henry lost his outfit of painting tools in the fire. The only Exclusive Carpet and Furniture house in the county, where you may find all the neccessary articles for house keeping ! articles too numerous to mentior. Everybody is invited to call and ! inspect special prices made, to parties wishing to. furnish house complete. F. J. Sears a Son. Opposite Court House, Rensselaer, Ind. ‘•Prof. W. S.

The season is longer, at both ends, in Kansas, tlum in Northern Indiana, and we ought to know better ttlian to get our seed corn’ frdm that state. The general offices or the Lake Erie and Western railway company, are about to be removed from LaEayette, and will probably go to j/l<jomington, 111., the best place for the offices, but not so pleasant for LaFayette to lose them. Peter Thomas, of Newton township, has out bills for an auction sale, next Monday, and also notice of the same in this issu» of The Republican. Pete intends removing to Kansas in a short time. A Hard Frost.—The cold weather of this week culminated in a severe frost Tuesday night. The first hard frost of the season, in this immediate vicinity. A great deal of immature corn throughout the county has been more or less damaged. Chas. D. DeLaney, of Buffalo, N. Y., one of the proprietors of extensive iron worffs in that city, died last Saturday, at an advanced age. Mr. DeLaney was related to the Rhoades’ of this place, and well known, from frequent visits, to many of our people. Lon Pruett, Winfield Brewer, Edward Williams and Albert Jones four bright young fellows- from i Medaryville, passed through this I place, Friday the 21st, headed for I Nebraska. They seemed-to be i well equipped for the trip, as to teams and wagons. Most of the summer visitors have departed from the Paxton place. Mr. and Mrs. Wood and children left last week, and Mrs. Lallance on Thursday. Mr. Smith trill leave on Saturday. Mrs. Smith, Oldfield and Ralph Paxton, will probably remain two or three weeks longer. .Caught Again.—Deputy Sheriff Robinson brought in, from "Walker tp., yesterday, a young fellowjzuamed.jyiliiam Dilts, who sneaked away from the sheriff of Miarna county, at Peru, last winter. He is about twenty years of l age and was raised in this county. He will be taken to Peru, today, i and be there held to answer to the charge of having forged a twelve ! dollar note. He is a “slick one.” McCoy will have his little jokes. ’ Last week he sent a sixty cent telegram to a Rensselaer lawyer, then i in Fowler, requesting him to come ! home at once, as the Town Board land Marshal Platt were about to be photographed in a body, in the capacitor of the garrison of Fort McCoy, and his presence was required that his picture might be taken with the others. The unkindest feature of the joke was, that tht message was not prepaid.

Saw ye not where sweating Nowels smote. His blue-bruised’boily with that thirteenth thundering fail: Then wildly kick, with Jumbo-feet, and bawl and crawl and sprawl? [After Byron—along way.] There was the sound of roller skates, by night, And Jasper’s capital had gathered then z Some dozen frisky juveniles, and bright The lamps shown over stumbLng women and wide sprawling mt n. A hundred bruised spots ached hard, and when , ~ Nowels went down with his tumultuous roar, The strong walls quivered, the windows shook again; But still he struggles to his feet once more; Bat hush' hark', with awful crash! again he strikes the floor. [Of the same sort-only worse.]
