Remember Kannal sells Wall Paper cheaper than anyone else, and a large stock of beautiful paper to select from. • A $1,500 imported Hereford bull was burned in Adams Earl’s barn, in Benton county, last week. The barn also was valued at $1,500. Parties who are contemplating a new carpet would do well to call at Hemphill and Honan’s and see their goods and learfi prices. Christopher Plath has sold his house and in Leopold’s addition to John Cooper, and intends to go back to- Germany. It will be to the interest of the teachers of Jasper county to see Hemphill,& Honan before buying Boots, Slices or Millinery. A word to the wise is sufficient.

The Rev. J. H. Saylor, the singing evangelist, did not arrive to begin his meetings at the M. E. church, last Saturday. He was sick, we understand. Rev. G. W. Hutchins, the well known colportuer from Marshall county, has returned to complete the canvass of this county for the sale of his cheap but well made bibles and testaments. r Six or seven lady teachers of the Rensselaer schools have been, married daring the last three years, and if common rumor is not at fault, “still there’s' more to follow.” The Sherwin-Williams mixed paints are the best in use.

Richard Moffit, of Ohauncey, but whose father, Dr. Moffit, lives iu Carpenter tp., was in town Tuesday. He did not go to Louisville to begin the study of medicine, on account of the serious illness of his father, who is iiow recovering, however. The boots and shoes at Leopold’s are selling off fast enough; if you don’t want any bargains, it : certainly is not his fault. My stock of clothing must be sold, and to convince you, please call and make your own price. . A. Leopold. v The horse buyers Have taken a great many fine horses away from the vicinity of this place lately. Among other Milton Makeeyer, of Newton tp., has sold Them two good ones, at $175 each. It pays to raise good horses, and it does not pay to raise any other hind but good ones. Some of our readers have expressed the opinion that the poem Bohemian Oats, of “Pinkamink” the Newton county poet, was a sort of parody or imitation of one of Will Carleton’s poems. We do not agree with this opinion however, but give the author credit for complete originality in the poem. We are informed, byThe-way, ,by a well known citizen, formerly a resident of Newton counry, that “Pinkamink” is a prominent and estimable resident of Kentland, and that he is about to publish a volume of poems. ~ ' .

Good Linen Caps, 20 c. i Hemphill & Honan. Mr, Bass, of Lafayette, is visiting fafilily of his son-in-law, Mbse Tutuer.

If so call on Meyer, the druggist. He can fit you out with anything in the Paint, Wallpaper or Window shade line. Anti-Kalsomine, the cheap and durable printer, for outside and inside painting, makes a durable primer coat at one-half the cost of any other paint. Kannal sells it.

Persons intending to procure trees at the Rensselaer Nursery this spring, are requested to call for them at once, as they are now ready, and the sooner they are taken the better they can be handled. John Coen, Proprietor. High Mass, which is always celebrated with great pomp Snd ceremony in all Catholic churches, on Easter Sunday, was appropriately celebrated by Father Zumbuelte, in St. Augustine church, in this place, last Sunday, and attended by a very large congregation. The church Vas beautifully decorated for the occasion. * A sign on a business house near the depot, and in jdain view of every passenger train tliat stops there, reads, “Lemoade Heare.” It is the source of much amusement to the passengers on the trains, and elicits from them numerous remarks regarding the probable remoteness of school houses. We suggest that the orthography of the sign be at once amended.'

The business changes have come' thick and fast during the last few * r iifw© ”to &otc is the sale by C. C. Sigler of his meat-market business to Jake Eiglesbach, the ,old established butcher. The stock anti outfit were transferred last Saturday.

We are going to move May 3rd. Laßue Bros. T. P. Worstell, the Ohio appleman, will close out his business this week, and return to Ohio. Look at Wall Paper at Kannal’s before buying. He sells cheaper than the cheapest. Francis M. Grant, two miles west of town, has a fine girl baby,, born Sunday. The nicest room in town ig the. Arcade. Laßue Bros, will occupy it Monday, May 3d.

Bob Yan Voorst, now of Monticello, was in town yesterday, attending to matters Connected with bis late hardware business. Robert Shearer a horse breeder of Remington, has just got home from France with two fine stallions. Remington is gaining a great ieputatioil for its fine horses. Our neighboring town of Monon is not likely to boom so decidedly this year as last, though we understand that considerable building will be done there.

Rensselaer has some patriarchal families. Auditor G. M'. Robinson and wife have ten living children, and have lost one, Mr. and Mrs. Jv M. Hodshire have eleven living children, and have lost two; and Mr. and Mrs. A. Leopold have nine living children. It was one year yesterday since the readers of the Republican were of the sudden and mysterious disappearance, in Colorado, of Chas. W. Clifton, a former well known resident. His fate is to this day as much a mystery as the day he disappeared! but there are certainly many among his acquaintences here who do not believe he is dead. Hemphill & Honan, who have an appreciative knowledge of the value of printer’s ink, advertised their millinery opening of last Friday and Saturday, extensively in the Republican and we are pleased to note that, in consequence, their large and handsome new stock of millinery had many pleased inspectors on those days, and that Hie sales of.goods were very large.

Mr. Henry V. Henkle, ot Barkley tp., made us a pleasant call Tuesday. Mr, Henkle is one of the old timers of the county, having lived here ever since 1842; at which time by far the greater part of what is now Jasper and Newton counties was an unsettled wilderness, when bands of ludiaris were frequent visitors and when deers were more numerous than. candidates are now. The last of the cases growing out of the troubles between Brand, and his neighbors, in Keener tp., that against John Shortridge which was to have been tried last Friday, before Squire Pureupile, was dismissed before the day 1 of trial. The prosecution evidently concluding that they had no case against Mr..bhortridge sufficient k> justify them in pressing it to a trial.

The Arcade room, in Leopolds new building, the newest, nicest, brightest, best, located room in town; directly "opposite the Trade Palace entrance; and next door to Ellis & Murray’s on the west, and Hemphill & Honan’s store on the eas>, will be occupied by us next Monday, May 3d.

We learn that the disease that caused the deatli of Mrs. G. M. \Vilcox, of Surrey, mentioned last week, was congestion of the braiD. In this connection it is proper to state that a rumor to the effect that she was given an excessive amount of morphine, during Jher sickness,'is entirely without foundation. W e have good authority for stating that all of that drug given her was less than one sixth agrain, in a hyperdermic injection. Two doses of bismuth were given and these some of the relatives mistakenly, supposed to be morphine, and from this circumstance originated the rumor above mentioned.

The big revival at Remington, conducted in the Presbyterian church building, by the able young revivalists, Belding and Palmer, ; las been succeeded and well nigh equalled, if not surpassed, by a revival in the Christian church, of that town, conducted by Elder Edward O. Sharpe, also a very young man, pastor of the Christian church at Watseka, 111. The accessions to the church have been very numerous, and must aggregate more than fifty, all told. In both of these revivals the converts have been largely people of adult age, and many of them people of prominence and large influence. It is thus evident that many results of the revivals will be permanent, and greatly strengthen the religous element of that town.

We hear of many farmers in Marion and adjoining townships who,are putting down large quanties of draining tile this year. It is the best thing they can do. When this part of Jasper county is once thoroughly underdrained, it will be one of the garden spots of the universal earth. By- the-way we understand that nearly all the til«s that is used here is shipped in from abroad. Why is it that some enterprising man does not put up some big first-class tile and brick works in this neighborhood, make the best quality of tile, and supply tberlarge and ever increasing home demarid for tile ? We have always understood that as good clay for tile could be found in this vicinity as anywhere, and it is sure that there will be a large demand for tile for a great ~ inany years. In Goodland and tile factories make money “hand over fist.”
