The oyster supper at M r - Grab’s passed off very smoothly; the young folks all seemed to enjoy themselves.

GILLAM ITEMS

Mrs. A. G. Robb and Mrs. P» M. Querry arc numbered on the sick list. The schools are all in good progress again, since vacation. A spelling school at Pleasant Ridge school Friday evening. The attendance was very good, considering the weather. The champion speller was D. C. Prevo. The teachers of Gillam held their township institute at Independence school house, Saturday, Jan., 12th 1884. There were quite a number of visitors present, some of whom took a part In the Institute, .which added much to its interest. Teachers visitingwere C. W. Faris. Ettie Massey and G. D. Prevo. Mr. J. D. Brown, one of the teachers of Pulaski, paid his friends a short visit on Saturday and Sunday last. Died: —At her father’s, Joshua layers, Saturday, Jan., 12, Mrs. Ida Black, wife of P. Black, of consumption, The funeral was held at Independence Chapel, on Monday, attended by a large congregation, Services were conducted by the Rev. Henegar.

A Literary Society.

A Literary Society has been running for several weeks at the James school house, south of Rensselaer. Tire society meets every Thursday. W. H. Ritchey is president, N. J, Reed vicepresident and' W. A. Churchill, secretary. In addition to ordinary literary exercises, some important question is debated at every meeting. At the meeting this week will be discussed tha comparative destructiveness, to the American people, of war and intemperance, Messrs. Marion Adams, Albert Dickinson and James Pierce will Speak for war, while Messrs, Wm. Hoover, S= R. Crosby and Wm. Churchill will advocate the opposite side.

The retirement of Mr. Carl Schurz, a few weeks ago, from the editorship of one the leading journals of New York, on the grounds that irreconcilable differences of opinion existed between him and his associates with regard to the conflict of the Telegraph and. Railroad men with their employers, has awakened curiosity in no ordinary degree; and hence when he defines his position upon the question at issue, viz., “Corporations, their Employes and the Public,” as he does in the North Amekicam Rbview for February, he is stite to command an attentive hearing. To the number of the Review, J: C. Principal of the University of St. Andrews, contributes an admirable sketch of the life and works of “Henry Vaughan, Silurist,” a poet of the 17th century whose genius exhibited a rare and almost unique combination of gifts: Senator J. J. Ingalls writes of “John Brown’s Place in History.” his purpose being to disprove the several counts in the indict-, men ts of the hero of Potawatomie contained in the recent article by the Rev. David N. Utter. The question “Must the Classics Go?” is discussed by Prof. Andrew F. West, of Princeton College, whb presents a very forcible argument for the retention of Greek arid Latin in the curriculum at our educational system. (£”Race increase i,n -the United States,” by Congressman J. Randolph Tucker, makes a very substantial contribution to sociological science. The Rev. M. J; Satage, in pointing out sundry “Defects of th 6 Public School System,” advances certain views of the ends to be attained by State education which, if accepted, would vety materially modify, and indeed revolutionize the existing System. Finally an important question in hygiene. “Rival Systems of Heating,” is treated by Dr. A. N. Bell and Prof. W. P. Trowbridge, whb point out the advantages and disadvantages, from the standpoints of both economy and of health, of the different- methods in use for warfhihg houses. Published at BO Lafayette Place, New York, and for sale by booksellers generally.

J T’ersoxxa.l and. Local. W. W. Watson has resigned the position of deputy prosecutor for this county. His successor has not yet been appointed. — . ■- ? The McCracken brothers took their departure from Rensselaer Monday morning, going, as we understand, to Lincoln, Neb. A young gentleman from St. Lawrence, Dak., Mr. Keasey by name, has been the guest of the Misses Cotton, for the past week. - t E. A. Perkins- orders his copy of The Republican sent to Spring Garden, Florida, instead of Date onia, as at first. Mr. J. M. Troxell, now proprietor of the Eagle House, at North Judson, called upon us yesterday. We are glad to learn that our old friend is having good success in his hotel business. .. . e* - Mrs. S’. A. Hemphill went to Higginsville, Mb., last .week, she will be absent visiting friends in that place and at Kansas City, Mo., and Effingham, Hl., for two months. Messrs. Thompson &, Bro. completed the removal of their law and real-estate office into their new and splendid suit of rooms up-stairs in McCoy’s building, Monday. They have a magnificent location.

“Prof.” James Mainard gave a snide sleight-of-hand exhibition to a very meager audience at the “Oppray” house Monday. The “danc” which he had advertised to follow the exhibition did not take place. The only person whom we have found willing to acknowledge that he was present at the show, says that it was actually so bad as to be amusing from its. very bad _ , .. ; ~ . C. W. Clifton, the Life Insurance returned to Indianapolis, yesterday, after a two weeks enforced vacation,.resulting from an accident he met with, on the 9th inst., while traveling on the J., M. &I. railroad. The globe to one of the car lamps exploded, and & fragment of glass struck Mr. Clifton upon the temple, severing the temporal artery badly that it was with great difficulty that the flow of blood was arrested, before he bled to death. The result of the injury left him very much weakened, and, as before said, rendered a rest from business necessary. ——■ —-»•»-—i Miss Aipauda Way, of Kansas, but formerly a resident of this state, a zealous temperance worker and also a licensed local preacher in the M. E. Church, came to Rensselaer Saturday and remained until-Tuesday. She preached in the M. E. church, morning and evening, and gave temperance lectures at the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon and. .at. the M. E. church Monday evening. During her stay she organized a branch here of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, notice, of which is made elsewhere.

Died:—At her home in Saline county, Mo ~ Dec., 21st 1883, Mrs. Mary Frazee, wife of John Frazee and mother of Mrs. W. H. Sayler, of this place; She died as she lived, with true faith in God. She was for many years a devoted Christian, and although her sufferings were of the serveredt character, she was never heard to complain. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her Iocs; but they weep not as those who have no hope, for Mother is only gone before. W. H. SayleH.

“When Greece her knees —Greece -her-knees —Greece her knees.” .stammered an embarrased school boy, forgetting the next line of his recitation.

Bro. R. O. "Willis, editor of The Ldwell Local News, favored use with a very pleasant call, Monday afternoon. His own indisposition, together with the fact that his mother, at Waveland, Ind., was in a precarious condition, and likely to require his attendance at aiiy time, caused Mr. Web’stei* to discontinue the meetings at tha M. E., church, last Sunday evening- During the meetings there were nine • conversions, and eight accessions to the church; some by letter, and some on probation. ' ■ ■' ■— ■» A Sleighing Party.—“—Two sleigh loads of Rensselaer people drove out to Dll’. Will Brown’s residence, north of town, Monday evening and spent sevei al hours in feasting and social intercourse. The party was composed of the following named ladies and gentlemen: Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Honan, Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Learning, Misses Della and Arilla Cotton, Lola Moss, Lizzie Purcupile, Rosa Eaker, and Ollie Alter; and Messers. R. B. Patton, Keasey, Murray, Vai Seib, and T. J. Farden.

Belated Trains.—On Saturday morning a heavy freight train got stuck in trying to go up a heavy grade at Cedar Lake and the engine of another tram was sent from Lowell to help push the train lip the hill, but run into and wrecked the caboose of the train it was endeavoring to assist. The accident obstructed. the track to such rd extent that the morn ing train, south, due here at 10:36 was foiir or five hours late. The Monday, evening train, south, due here at 10:3$ p. m,; got snowed up somewhere between Lowell and Dyer and did not reach this place until 7 o’clock Tuesday morning. The Rev. J. W. Bartlett, of the Protestant . Methodist church, mentioned lately in this paper, in connection with the remarkable revival in Barkley township, called upon us Monday, as he was passing through town on hia way from Jordan tp., where he liad been: attending the second quarterly meeting of the Uqion class, to Center schbo} bouse, in Barkley townsliip, where a successful revival is now in progress. - Mr. Bartlett reports that the quarterly meeting was all that could have been desired. On Sundny evening tfie Rev. S. S. Bloomer preaclicd an eloquent sermon, after which four accessions were received into the church. In this connection we take occasion to say that the statement made in this paper, two weeks ago, to the effect, that Mr. Bartlett was the organizer of Union class, was an error. He has done much in building up and strengthening the class, but was not the original Oigamzer.

Woman’s Christian Temper* anUC Union. At a meeting held at the Presbyterian church, Monday morning, a branch of the W. C.
