A series of protracted meetiugs wjere begun at the M. *E. church, last Sunday evening. Come and see the best Troup of trained Dogs in America, at tbe Opera House, Jan. 30th and 31st. Mrs. Theo. Stoidle, mother of Mrs.. Paul Hansen, has lately taken up her residence with Mr. and Mrs. Hanson, on River street. r 1.-.,,.... . . ...._j.. . ___ J ; The case of Geo. Goff, vs. Jas.

Makeever, wife of John Makeever, died suddenly at her residence, the Makeever house, last night at 11 o’clock, of paralysis of the heart. The funeral wilt be held Saturday, at |ll 4 a. m., at the residence. Our informant of last week who stated that “Mrs.” Estella Stickler was visiting her aunt, Mrs. N. E. Spitler, was way off on the prefix. It should have been “Miss” instead of “Mrs.” Young gentlemen especially are requested to make a note of this correction. We regret to say that we got the names of the two Henkle brothers uiixe dr in —our items last week, in regard to the unfortunate insanity of one of them, and gave the name of the unfortunate lunatic as Joseph, whereas we should have said-John. A fire broke out in the Insane asylum very early Tuesday morning, and destroyed the two rear wings, which held the engine, kitchens, laundry employes’ rooms, <fcc. The damage was about $85,000. By good management the patients were kept quiet during the fire. Ex-Surveyor L. S. Alter, atAesociation of County Surveyors, last week, at Indianapolis.

Two crowded sleigh loads of jolly people went out from Rensselaer, last Saturday evening, to the hospital home of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Yeoman, in Jordan township. 0 Arriving there they had a happy time for the whole evening. There was music, dancing, games, and oysters stewed, fried, and on the half shell. Mr. and Mrs. Yeo-. man are most pleasant and genial hosts and know just how to make a party of young people enjoy themselves.

By “Going away from home to learn the news” according to the injunction of the old saying, we learn, from the Lafayett® Journal,! : that last week, in Jasper county, |“Jqhn Dragger” a Hollander by! birth and an unmitigated villniu, j was sentenced to death for the murder of “John W. Woitner”i another Hollander <fec. &c. “Pics' ecuting Attorney M. H, Walker, of Rensselaer” is the Journal’s authority for these remarkable statements. From the Mouon Dispatch we learn that it is “Wibera Wartena’/wlio is to be hanged, and that his victim’s name was | “John Wortner.” The Lafajette Courier tells us that “John Dreager” was the victim, and one “Artena Werteruer” was the murderer, and that * both were Germane,

Auditor Robinson last week appointed Daniel E. Fairchild Assessor of Keener township, to fill the place t>f Horace Jones, deceased. He had previously appointed Peter Foulks Assessor 1 for Milroy township, and John T. Sayler to the same office in Newton township, the last to fill the vacancy occasioned by the election of S. E. Yeoman County Sheriff. The appointees are all “A. No. 1” iifSn and speak well for Mr. Robinson’s judgement in their appointment. Mrs. Hannah H. Hammond, the venerable mother of Judge Hammond and the late Mrs. Cbileote; who has been visiting relatives at Little Valley,: Kansas, for several mouths, started home on Tuesday, of last week, upon receipt of the news of her daughter’s death, but owmg to the snow blockade she did not reach Rensselaer until Friday evening last, having been four, days on the road. Though the aged lady has passed her 82nd birthday, she came the entire distance alone, and stood the journey well. Grand Master of the State Grand Lodge, A. 0. TJ. W., C. C. Genung, of Evansville, was in town oyer Sunday, and Saturday evening met, in special sessiou, the Rensselaer Lodge of United Workmen, and gave them a tjne talk upon the good points of the order. Owing to the fact that the Knights and Ladies of Honor have .the use of the Workmen’s Hall, on Saturday nights, the meeting was held in The Republican office. Mr. Genung went from this place to Remington, where lie had an appointment to lecture Monday night. Marriage Licenses:- —Circuit Clerk Irwin has issued five marriage licenses since our last report. The couples to whom issued, are as follows: t f John M. Guss, * ( Maggie M. Petty. j Sterling Cheever, ( Nancy S. Freel. j Joseph E. Thomas, { Mary Shindler. j Bruce E. White, ( Amelia H. Zick. j William Warren, } Ollie W. Zick. On Monday last an attempt was made to take our unfortunate citizen, Mr. John Henkle, whose insanity was mentioned last week, to the hospital —for th& ingane, at Indianapolis, by Sheriff Yeoman, assisted by Mr. E. P. Honan, but after getting him to the depot it was found that the trains were snowed iu, and he was taken back to the jail. He was pretty wild and violent, and while at the depot, shouted, sung, preached, prated and anathemized in a manner that would have moved the envy of the Boy Preacher, or a captain in the Salvation Army. Died: —On the 29£h day of December, 1884, in Pulaski county, Indiana, Ezekiel Ball, aged 73 ; years 2 inontbs and 20 days j and :in tuil hope of immortality and everlasting happiness in the life beyond. Mr. Ball was born in the | year 1811, in Middletown, Butler ■county, Ohio. He came to Ind- | iana in an early day, and engaged in black sun thing in Lafayette, when it was but a small village, in 1845 he moved to Jasper eounjty, where he spent most of his I after years, and at one time ivas a citizen of Rensselaer, where he was well and favorably known as an upright and consistent Christian.

No Mistake this time.— Our young friend N H. Warner, commonly known as Hale Warner, of the firm-of N. Warder & Sons, hardware men, of Rensselaer, whorn Rumor, with her wagging tongue, has repented to be married to the lady of his choice, every few months since, “Lo these many years” has at last brought his long i and interesting courtship to a hap* ;py termination. He was married ■ last evening, at the residence of the brfde's parents, in Hammond, Ind., to Miss Blanche Burroughs, daughter of Mr. Thomas Burroughs, formerly of this place. Cards are out tor a reception to be tendered to the happy couple this, (Thursday) evening, at the residence of the groom’s father Mr. Norman Warner.

Come and see “Conklin”, the greatest of all clowns, with Hump ty Dumpty, at the Opera House, Jan. 30th and 31st. We erred on the side of leniency, last week, in charging the weather with the atrocity of 35 degrees below zero. Many observers iepovt M below, others 38 and sflrne even 40. The Rev. B. F. Ferguson, of this place, who is a zealour observer of the weather, and took several observations of his thermometer on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, of lust week, reports 38 below as the coldest at his place. On the other side it stated that Mr. Smith, of Monticello, the observer for the U. S. Signal Service bureau, reports the lowest ten*pci a tare at that place, at 29 and a fraction, below zeru. The thermometers used by the signal service are generally held to be much more accurate than the most of those in common use. Rumors that a man had lately been frozen to death, or very nearly so, in the neighborhood of Mount Airy, have been in circulation for some time. We are now iu possession of the faots of the’ matter, which, briefly stated, are as follows: During the colU spell just before Christmas, Joseph Hooks, a man of about (53 years old, a resident of Beaver township, in Newton courty, left Mount Airy, in the evening, much the worse for liquor. Instead of allowing his team to takp the light road home, he drove them a mile or two out of his way, and then followed a blind road into a fipld from which some men had been hauling hay, that day. It was now dark and he was unable to find his way out of the field. After driving about for some time, lie tied his team to the fence and' wrapped himself up the best he could, and went to sleep in the wagon. When discovered The next morning he was nearly dead, but was finally aroused, and his life saved/ but both feet were so _badly frozen that their amputation, al&ve the ankles, was necessary. He is now alive and doing as well as could be expected.

Brightly conspicuous tun on g tinmany virtues of this woman watliat of charity. A kind ard,sym pathetic disposition led her to make many personal sacrifices foi the alleviation and the comfort ol others. Probably np other woman in the county was more prompt t< respond to the cries of suffering. To visit and watch with ’the sick to comfirt the sorrowful, and tv relieve those in distress, were the spontaneous impulses of thi.character; but her charitable deed.were as unostentatious as the bies sings of Providence, that fall, tike the gentle dews, while the work-i sleeps.
