REMINGTON ITEMS. 'Two American citizens of foreign extraction, by name, Belangee of France, and Üba of Germany indulged in a pugilistic encounter at short range, that is, within the narrow limits of a sleigh, which came near ending all further hostile demonsti ations on the part of the Teuton. The. Frenchman was victorous, but paid into the public treasury of the state the sum of,five dollars, and to his honor, Justice Tharp; the cost pf prosecution, amounting to seventeen dollars. Cheap enough. -. Titus E. Price and Loyd Kingsbury are expected home from Highmore, Dakota, this week. The Vox-Populi, of that place, thinks that the latter gentleman will take a bride back with him. Prosecuting attorney, Dan Fraser, of Benton county, was in town Sunday and Monday, looking into the Belangee-Uha unpleasantness. Lewis Alter, Cor; Sec- of the Indiana State Association of Civil Engineers and County Surveyors, is attending the Michigan State Association, at Anil Arbor, this week. The Republican caucus at Dr. Maxwell’s office, 'last Saturday night, was well attended. A delegate was appointed - to attend the district convention at Logansport, which meets Feb., 11, whose name is not known to your correspondent at present-writing. Rumor has it, that there will be a consolidation of two of our prominent business houses, in the near future. Charles Balcom, of Kentland, was in town Monday last The next time he comes he will likely not go back alone. Remingtonian.

HANGING GUO VE ITEMS. I Owing to the severe weather, the Republican Convention, which shouldhave convened at Marlboro last Saturday night, was not a success. The M. E. church, of this vicinity, has lately closed one of the most successful revivals we have had for years; sixty persons having accepted the doctrine during the revival. A meeting was held A Osborne school house on the 22 ult, for the purpose of selecting a site for a church. The meeting was a failure because of conflicting local interests. An agreement could not be made as to location, or whether the building should be a Union or Methodist church. It seems that some of our people think it unfair that, they should be called to aid in building a church wherein their de nomination should be excluded. It may be well to observe that our township is about six iniles square; it contains 117 voters and at least a population of 668; not more than one third of which are church members. It appears that a church located near; the center would be to accommodate the majority; it also appears, from an examination of the delinquent tax list, that one church will accommodate the finance of Quito wn ship. Hay pressing is flourishing. Three presses are no-w working in the township. Until lately two Literary societies have been supported, the Banta and the Fairview. The meeting of the former is indefinitely postponed; the latter, we understand, still maintains a feeble existence. C. C. Strategy. Times are hard, and money needed bad; for bargains in watches, clocks and jewelry, call on E. Kannal. The Ham mar Paint*’ has been thoroughly tried and I know there is None Better Having sold this paint for 13 years, I can recommend it as A Ninnler One. Call and see me before buying.
