Mrs. Sarah Dewey and Mr. Ar;hur Dewey, mother and brother of Mrs. A. L. Willis, of this place, returned to their home near Morris, 111., last Friday after a week’s visit with Mr. and Mrs, Willis. - Mr- Berry Paris and family, are occupying F. W. Babcock’s house, across the river, for the present, but we understand that lie will erect a residence in the spring, on liis lots near the creamery. It was stated last week, in the Indianapolis Journal, that on the old line of the L., N. A. & C. road, between Monon and Michigan City, there was a snow drift a a mile long and five feet deep. Valparaiso papers chronicle the death of Temple Witidle, a brother oE Mrs. D. L. Richardson, of this place. M»* WincM© was a promin ei# Mtizeip ir'Y4ipa'rSis6, and for the long period of 15 years had held the office of Justice of the Peace in that town. Rev. Gilbert fomall held services in the Presbyterian ehurch last Sunday morning, and in the evening filled Rev. Ferguson’s appointment in the F. W. Baptist church. Owing lo the bad weather and blockaded trains Mr. Small’s visits to Rensselaer this winter have been,' like angels’ visits, few and far between. , Remington News: Mr. and Mrs. Hammond living about three miles from town took their two weeks old infant into the bed with them for the purpose of keeping it warm. AVhen they woke 1 up in the morning they were horrified to find the little one dead and cold, having smothered to death during the night. *■ Since his sentence' Wartuer is said to be taking matters m a very philosophic manner, eating and drinking heartily and sleeping soundly; and seemingly accepting his fate with resignation. The Rev. Miner calls upon him occasionally, to administer what he can of spiritual consolation, and is al .vays gladly welcomed. On Sunday evening Mrs. John Zimmerman,*of this place, received a dispatch informing her of the death, at Osborn, Ohio, after a very brief illness, of her mother, Mrs. Anna Kline. She was seventyfour years old, at the time of her death and old age is understood to have been her chief ailment. Mrs. Zimmerman’s own health was in too precarious a state to permit her to make the long journey necessary to attend the funeral.

[ MbnticeJlo Herakl: W. J. Huff, j of this paper, has been disabled again for two weeks " past with his old eye trouble. He has had , abundant opportunity to test the new anaesthetic, .cocoaioe, which is indeed a wonderful medicine. One drop in the eye deadens the most intense pain instantaneously, but the relief, though complete, is | only temporary, lasting from BO to 60 minutes. By its use the gravest surgical Operations upon the eye are rendered painless. Like many other valuable medical discoveries, its anaesthetic properties were unknown until disi covered by accident.

J The great Barrett, the boneless man, will give another eutertaiiir, ment|at the Opera Hous;?. to-night. Lots of fun, but no impropriety. Admission to all parts of\% house, 10 cents. Gdfdlalid Herald: The advance agent of the Humpty Dumpty company borrowed 50 cents at this place to take him to Remington ai|d at the latter town increased hil prospects and borrowed five dollatf. We are the fifty-cent fool. -Who is the ignoramus at Reinihgton?

Mrs. C. G. Sears started for the South Tuesday morning. Their tickets take them, by the way of'Cincinnati, to New Orleans, and ffefu thence to Tampa Bay, Ploridr, -by steamer, across the gulf. It is not their intention to stop to see New Orleans and the ExpoSjl&m at this time, but to do so on the return trip, some time in May.

Miss Mary IV ash burn, ap inter - esting and attractive young lady, second daughter of Dr. LB. Washburn, of this place, is lying very sick wi% typhoid fever, her illness dating from the first days of last week. Her condition, though still serious, has improved very materially daring the last few days, and should no relapse occur, her early recovery seems, assured, The “Tfiree 1” road, which-runs through the northern part of this county, suffered greatly from snow blockades, during the last season of heavy storms, and the running of trains was almost entirely suspended for a week. The worst rouble was further west, on the ine, between Kankakee and Streaor; bat they had many heavy rifts tcncontend with between De lotte and San Pierre. .Monticello Herald: Speaking of- the swiftness of the fast night train on the Air Line the Monon Dispatch B says: “The other night while a well known engineer who lives here, was getting ready to start out, the conductor yelled ‘All aboard, ! as he leaned over to kiss was standing cm tins phluorm, MSud so help us, if he didn’t kiss a cow down at Guernsey.” Some jokes never lose their flavor with age, and this is one of them. - -v- rr — ;

OnV exchangee have made pretty bad work with the names of Wartner, the condemned murderer, and his victim, and even, in one instance, as was mentioned last week, they murdered poor Wartner, and hung the other man. Even those who tell the story; straight get the nationality of the parties mixed, some of them saying that both were Germans, and others asserting that both were Hollanders. For the benefit of our brothers of the press who are misinformed on the latter point, we will say, that Wartner is a Hollander by birth, and that Dreger was a German. It is not many years, since a black bear was killed in Milroy township, and it is quite possible that Mr. Lewis is right in asserting that an animal of that species is still making his habitat in the woods of Newton township. The fact is vouched for by others besides Mr. Lewis, and we have the assertion of a well known citizen of Rensselaer, who has lived in Newton township, that such an animal has been reported to be living theie, for quite a number of years. It does not appear from the reports tit at bruin has don 6 any particular damage, in the vicinity of his lurking places, although it is possible that he may sometimes vary his diet of cotton-tails and green corn with an occasional roasting pig, or fat sheep.

Lawyer Chilcote received a telegram last week from a threshing machine company, at Mansfield, Ohio, telling him that a man over in Gilboa township, Benton county, south of Remington, was about to remove a lot of property mortgaged to said company, to Missouri, and telling him to get over there and head off that little scheme, as soon as providence would permit. He therefore started out across the country Tbwsday morning, but owing to the heavy snow drifts was obliged to tarn back and take the cars; but even then the trains Were so badly out of time ihat he did not get to Remington until noon Friday. From Remington he drove out to the man’s place, arriving in time to tfc* shipment of the Isl
