We hear that Mr. A. W. Bingham, one of the best known of our old citizens, is very sick and likely to survive but a few days. One of the largest and finest assortments of carpets ever shown in Rensselaer, is now on exhibition at Leopold’s Bazar. We notice by the advertising columns of the Monon Dispatch that Mr. A, Leopold intends closing out his business in that town. Nursery stock bought at the Rensselaer Nursery is already acclimated, and is therefore much hardier than stock from a distance. Mrs. Eva Kirsefi, Mrs. Val Seib and Miss Hill will give recitations, at the Opera House to-morrow (Friday) evening, March 20th. Wesley Price, the insane man, has been sent to the poor house, where he will be likely to remain to the end of his days. He possesses but the fain tee c glimmer of intelligence.

Mrs. W. W. Wright, nee Kepner, wife of the deaf mute, died Sunday afternoon, at five o’clock, of consumption, after a long illness. The funeral was held on Monday, the Rev. B. F. Ferguson preaching the funeral. When the springtime comes Gentle Annie, is the time to plant trees, shrubs and vines. You can buy everything in this line you may want, at the Rensselaer Nursery, at reasonable prices, and get reliable, ana thoroughly tested stock. A little son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Brookston Reporter: —Some one was telling us that Hie citizens northwest of Rensselaer, in and about the locality where Wartner, the Hollander, murdered his best friend, Dreger, the German, in cold blood, were getting matters in shape to lynch the condemned man, in case the Governor slicr.Vj; pardon him. Our former townsman, C. H. Price, of Highmore, Dakota, is a candidate for the lucrative office of Register of the Land Office, at Hurob, Dakota; and our citizens, irrespective of party, have largely signed a petition to Secretary Lamar) asking for his appointment Tkb Republican would be glad to see Mr. Vtim revive the appointRent

Jim Tnrpie’s libel suit against the Monticello Herald has beeu sent to Carroll county for trial, on change of venue, on motion of the plaintiff Turpie thinks the people es White county are prejudiced against him, and it would not be at all strange if such were the case. --J.- '

, Oxford Tribune: The Era keeps yelping .for the Great Southern to go around by Fowler. Let Mahomet go to the mountain. It will be cheaper to move Fowler down to the crossing. Never mind the court house. It won’t pay to move that for all the time you will need it. The courts have decided that “no boundary fence can be made of barbed wire without consent of parties owning the adjacent land, and any man who puts a barbed wire fence along the highway renders himself liable for all injuries resulting to stock passing along said highway.” Farmers will do well to make a note of this. The people of Porter county must regard litigation as their most valued diversion, to judge from the following from the Valparaiso Messenger: “The bar docket for the March term of Porter Circuit Court shows fourteen criminal cases, seventeen divorce nine petitions for drainage and two hundred and twenty-four civil cases, making a total of two hundred and sixty-four causes.” Mr. Geo. W. Markin, of Keener tp. has just got out bills, at The Republican job office, for a public sale to take place on Saturday, March 28th. This George Markin by-the-way is not at all the same George Markin, that loud boy of Nubbin Ridge, who had the racket with Geo. Cooper, and was fined therefor a couple of weeks or so ago, as the identity of names might lead many to believe.

The Rev. Jas. T. Abbett drove over to Rensselaer last Tuesday, and returned to Morocco, the next day. He continues to meet with Bplendid success in his ministerial labors. He has just closed a series of meetings at Mount Airy with 16 accessions to the church; making a total of 90 accessions to the two churches, at Morocco and Mount Airy, since the conference. He expects to begin a series of meetings at Bussell Chapel, his other appointment, next week. On Tuesday morning of iass week, one Morris Foley, a member of the floating gang on the L., N. A. & C. railroad, was run over by the oars at Mon on, and killed instantly. His body was very badly mutilated: * He was a single man and had been Working for the road for about 12 years. The Coroner’s inquest showed that he was intoxicated at the time, and exonerates the railroad company froflf all blame. Another victim of whiskey.

To The Ladies of Rensselaer and Vicimty:— l would hereby return my sincere thanks to the ladies of Rensselaer and vicinity for their very liberal patronage in the past, and would also cordially invite them to continue their trad# with me. Very Respectfully, ■■■ Mbs, Sadie Laßue. A petition has been circulated, and largely signed by our citizens, asking Judge Ward to appoint Mr. E. L. Clark, Ditch Commissioner, in place of Ad. Parkison, resigned. It would be an excellent appointment; but we understand that the Judge will defer making any appointment until the Legislature reaches some decision ou the new ditch law now pending.

A Surprise: —The townspeople were surprised, yesterday morning, to bear that a wedding had taken place the previous evening, at the residence of Dr. M. B. Alter, the County Treasurer. The parties united were Mr. Ed. Kirk and Miss Lillie Alter, the* Doctor’s third daughter. The ceremony was performed by Rev. T. C. Webster, and was witnessed only by relatives of the family and a few intimate friends. Mr. Kirk is employed by the Western Creamery Company as a traveling expert, and expecting to be directed to go to lowa, on business of the company, at any moment, the wedding was arranged for and took place rather sooner than it would otherwise have been, When Dr. L G. Kelley, Reece Goddard, David Nowels and the rest were out on there last beehunting excursion, on the Kankakee, all the members of the party except the Doctor were provided with good tin cups, and as the Doctor sadly lapped his coffee from a clam shell, he determined that the next time he was out on such an excursion he would be provided with a better drinking cup than any one else. He accordingly set his inventive faculties to work mid devised a cup which, we should suppose, must be entirely to his satisfaction. He applied for and obtained a patent upon it. The papers for the patent having arrived this week. The cap is intended for the use of hunters and others while camping oat, to use for their hot drinks. It consists of an ordinary tin cup, with an attachment on the lower end into which the liquid is allowed to flow* through a self closing aperture; and in which it soon becomes cool enough to drink. It is evidently an excellent, article for the purpose for which it is intended. Wa hops the Doctor will make soaw mouey out of it
