REMINGTON ITEMS.

We humbly beg pardon of each and every member ot the defunct M. E. Choir, (“A Member” included,) for the aspersion indiretly and unwittingly cast upon their loyalty. The “time inwardness” of the matter was not known to your correspondent, at the time the letter was written, and it*is not nece;-» sary now to go into details. “Sufficient. unto the day is the evil thereof.” it is no use mincing matters It is a wel known fact., that the organ has been a fruitful source of discord for the past .sight or ten years, and it is time, high time, in the sight of Heaven, that a better state of things prevailed. If those who once worshipped and sung in that church, but who have now gone t> *‘join the choir invisible,” can take interest in earthly affairs, we think there must be sorrrow, even in heaven, over the M. E. church in Remington. Let the friends rally and build again the waste places in Zion. Frank Nutt, until recently a resident jof this township, shot himself at the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. J. £>. Knight, near Laporte. Ind. It is supposed to have been done with suicidal intent, as he had lately met with a keen disappointment. At last accounts the unhappy man was still living with but little hope or desire for reco vc ry. Rev. Nebeker, of Battle Ground, filled his appointment here last Sunday. He is a good man, an able speaker, and much liked by the clmrch and people generally. A. B. Switzer shook the dust of Remington from his feet, last Monday. As there is an attraction here, it is supposed that he will return in the near* future. Two wagon loads of young people, and provisions, visited the softly Rowing Iroquois, on Tuesday. Like the disciples of old, they went a tishing. Miss Jennie Beal left, on tuesday, f< r Minnesota, where she expects to spenn the summer. S. Solomon and daughter Lillian went to Chicago, on Tuesday. John A. Randle, of Rensselaer, spent the past two Sundays in this place.
