Superintendent Nelson has just compiled, and had printed at this office, an eight page pamphlet, consisting of dutlines for Township Institute work.

The Riley Dramatic Company, that excellent organization which exhibited in Rensselaer last winter, and deserved so well and fared so ill, is now exhibiting in neighboring towns. Their ill-success here last winter was owing to the exceedingly severe weather at the time, and should they make an engagement at the Opera House during the present winter, they would probably have a much better patronage than was accorded them last year.

The Thanksgiving dance, given by the ladies of Rensselaer, in the Opera Hiuse last Thuisday night, was, undoubtedly, about the most completely successful affair of the kind ever given in the town. The number of dancers presept was about 75 couples, a number of whotr were from surrounding towns, 10 or 12 couples coming from Monon alone. There were also a great many spectators and the total number to whom refreshments were served was 175. The music and management were superb, and everything passed off in a manner that left nothing to be desired -

Our well known merchant, Mr. A. Leopold, was fifty-two years old, laßt Tuesday, (though he does not look it, by 10 years) and the occasion was observed in a very pleasant manner. The members of his family quietly prepared a splendid and most bountiful supper, and invited all the members of Eastern Star Chapter, of which Mr. Leopold is a member, to come and help eat it and spend the evening. By very clever management Mr. Leopold was kept in complete ignorance of what was going on, and he was much surprised, on going home in the evening to find his house packed with guests, and a royal supper awaiting their disposal. He was equal to the occasion, however, and made everyone thoroughly welcome. The number present, including the family, was about seventy.
