f This storm deals with the trains as Slugger Sullivan does with his opponents, knocks them all out of lime*- | If any fellow asks if this is cold enough for you? break off his har, dest frozen ear and knock iiiifl down with it. The list of improvements in Rensselaer for 1883, shows a very gratifying progress for the period. Few of our neighboring towns have done as well, or “anywheres near it.” Of course we will all continue -to write it 1883, pretty regularly for a few weeks yet, bui that will not a-ter the fact that we have fn for a new year,—and a leap year at that. Hooray boys! The Peoples Railway Company of America, if we may judge from a flamiug advertisement which appears in the Chicago Inter-Oceap, - is not dead by any manner of means but is selling shares at a rapid rate. The concern is certainly taking in lots ot money, and who knows but wliat they may yet girdle the earth with narrow gauge railroad tracks. If the people who get up the Christmas trees, Ac., for the Sunday schools, of Rensselaer wish to prevent that class of entertainments from falling into gutter and deserved disrepute, they must adopt strict means to. prevent the placing of so-called “sells” upon the trees. This base and cowardly practice was indulged in to a f hameful extent, this year in Rensselaer, and a number of refined and sensitive persona were grossly insulted thereby. If the Sunday school people are- not willing to take the trouble necessary to prevent such practices as this, they should discontinue the gift distribution feature of their Christmas entertainments, entirely, hereafter.' A certain publishing house in Indinapolis has gotten up a might v swrewd scheme for securing a vast amount of advertising for a very little money. They offer three paltry prizes, aggregating in value perhaps thirty or thirty-five dollars, to be given to the three best scholars in the state, among the graduates of the district schools for the coming year. The firm makes the offer through the ccHMvttliTi sopftiantcudo nts. -.mill, the superintendents “boom them t hrough the county papers, and ■ “thus all things work together for ~o ocp ’__for the publishing house. It is a very neat little stroke_of business upon the part of the persons making the oiler, but v\ e are compelled to marvel greatly that our wide- awake county superintendent did not “catch on ’ to their little game.

The Weather.

We do not suppose that we can give our Jasper county readers any new points on the weather, because the most of them are awake fully ns early in the morning, and many t of them a good deal later at night than we are; but for the information of non-resident subscribers, wo can sav that iu this locality 1883 ended with si.\ days of warm, Moppj weather, which wore out the sleighing: while If&M lias flatted in with iug and snowing, and drifting and f itting. A tremendous amount of ruow has fallen, but has drifted so badly that sleighii g will be no good. The weather-eleared, Weda b ‘ tttr

NO TRAINS TO-DAY.

The Worst Btorin or the Season. J. The deeply drifting snow's combined with the iptense cold, has called all trains to. be abandoned on the L., N. A. &C. The north bound passenger train, due here last evening at 5/28 o’clock, is stuck in a drift and frozen up, somewhere between Chalmers and Reynolds. The south bound train, due here at 1*036 last evening, is in the same fix only a little worse, the engine being in the ditch, somewhere near Lowell. Two engines passed up this morning, from the Air Line division, to dig the train out of the drift. It will probably pass this place some time to-dav. < It is officially announced that no train#will be sent out from the termme of the road, today. No Teacher Yet.—The school trustees have not yet engaged a teacher for the grammar department, and the sudden departure of M. F. Chilcote, the president of the board, will prevent their so doing until after liis return. Tli#re probably will be no school in that department before Tuesday or Wednesday. V

The Monon Sensation.

The town of Monon is “all tore up” over the arrest there, last Saturday, of Ben Reynolds, Fred Bloomer and two or three other men, one of them a negro, charged with stealing coal from cars on the railroad. Reynolds is out on bail but the others are in the Monticello jail. »If reports are correct, the case against Hie arrested parties is very strong. Reynolds is about the most prominent business man of Monon, and bothlie and Bloomer are well known in Rensselaer, of which place they were formerly residents.
