REMINGTON ITEMS.

There is an absolute dearth of news over this way, which is a good thing foi* the community, but not so pleasant for newspaper par&graphers. The weather is bright and pleasant and farmers are getting their fall work well under way while it lasts. Groat quantities of sorghum are being hauled to the mill, where it is speodily turned into rich, thick syrup. If some genius could only succeed in finding a way to granulate it, he would be doing the Northern States grand service. Some improvements are going on; Mr. Ford has built an addition to his dwelling. Miss Bolles has had her house raised about eighteen inches, and Mr. Roberts is haying his dwelling house, barn and grain house moved to a more desirable locality on the farm. Health is generally good over here. Little Bailie Turpin, the bright little daughter of T. J. ■ Turpin, living near town, is seriously siek. Schools are progressing finely. The majority of the township schools opened on Monday.—[Remington!an.
