The Rochester Sentinel says there is a fair prospect that work will begin oil the Rochester, Rensselaer & St. Louis Railway, in tire spring. We greatly hope that the Sentinel’s belief will prove to be well founded. - On Tuesday the Indiana legislature in joint ballot relected D W. Voorhees to the United States Senate. The Republicans cast their vote for ExGovernor Porter They could* not have given the compliment to a better man. The weather has committed many enormities since our last issue. Blowing, snowing, freezing and drifting, in a manner and to an extent altogether reprehensible. Wagon reads were blockaded badly, and railroad trains were frozen up all over the north and west. The lowest temperature reported in this vicinity, was on Wednesday night and this morning, some thermometers sticking 35 degrees below zero. A report having gained currency that tile Ft. Wayne, Peoria and Galesbilrg railroad project was “dead,’' and that thfe office at Ft. Wayne had “closed,” a citizen of Wayne township wrote to headquarters for ihform ation. He, was replied to by Edwin Evans, vicepresident of the road, and the letter before us says that the road is net dead and that the office of the company has not closed, but is open and doing business. Assurances are given that the promise made by the officers will materialize and the road be built.— Rochester Sentinel. . The funeral of Mrs. Lizzie H Ohilcotewas held on Srinday afternoon, at the Presbytferiah church. It had been anrbhhced that Ret. Gilbert Sniall would preach the sermon, bdt owing to the heavy storms he was Unable to be present and his place was supplied by Rev. B. F. Fergdson. Notwithing the extreme coldness of the weather at the time of the funeral, the church building was crowded far beyond its seating capacity, with friends anxious to pay the last tribute of respects to the memory of one of the most highly esteemed and popular ladies that ever graced the society of Rensselaer. r

Public opinion is naturally some-. tv hat divided as to the propriety of the sentence Judge Ward passed upon the inurderer, Wartner, yesterday morning. Those who are opposed to the death penalty in &U'<sases, and those others who believe that it should be inflicted only in cases of the most ettreme atrocity, or upon thoroughly hardened, dangerous and habitual criminals, will think? the penalty severe. Others who believe in the old Mosaic doctrine that “whoso sheddetli man’s blood* by man shall liis blood be shed,” and that every premeditated, unprovoked murder should be punished by the i&bath of the perpetrator, will endorse the Judge's sentence, and tkin£ it not too severe. There will be", however, probably no serious fault found with this decision of the case. Nearly everyone will agree in thinking that Judge Ward has done wiiat he believed was his duty to the taws and to society, however trying and painful that duty was to himself, and will accept theiyerdtet as right and just, Wen should they feel, that, under the same circumstances, they would themselves have decided differentI' . ’ V ...

4s; ■ VC.#.. vT Progressive Euchre is becoming a very popular social amusement just now, and vMMPI nfm'ple of many of our exchanges ■n giving the following compreFhensitfe directions for playing the game, which we copy from the Logansport Journal: Progressive euchre takes twelve persons. There are three tables, each supplied with cards. One is called the ace, one the king and one the queen tabUi. Take the aces, kings aud queens front one of the packs and they have been shuttled let each person draw one, the ones drawing kings to the king tables, and those queens to the queen table—the persons drawing black cards being partners and those drawing red partners. When this has been done the playing commences—regular euchre is played. No games couut save those at the ace table, and each player’s record at the table is kept by the scorer. When a game has been liuished at the ace table the parties who arc defeated go to the queen table, and those wHo have niacie the most points At the king tdble take places and try to defeat their victors; while the parties who have made the most points at the queen table take the places of the persons who left the king table for the ace table. At the king and queen tables the? do not stop playing because they have iinished a game, but keep right oh Until tho game ba3 been finished at tlib ace table; nor, on the other hand, if a game has been concluded at tho ace table and the king or queen tables set have not finished their game, do they try'to finish it. The ones making the most points are the victors, whether less or more than five, the regular number for a gkme, has been mado. It is usual to give some present, or favor to the person winning the most games at the ace table and also the one getting the fewest. df course the game can be played with a greater number o! tables, but it is scarcely so interesting. A change of partners in every game adds greatly to the excitement. Goods are down at the Ladies’ Bazar. Willey & Sigler have thfe finest Carpets ever shown in Rensselaer.
