"""'Arfine kid slice, worked buttonholes, for $1.75 at Hemphill & Honan’s. County Superintendent Warren went to Indianpolis, yesterday, to attend a state meeting of county superintendents. What boots it if I shoes to buy bargains,” said a delighted customer at Willey A shoe store the other day. Joe Hammond and Swaney Makeever, Jr., left Tuesday, for Poughkeepsie, N. Y., to begin a course in the celebrated business college, at that place. The Chicago Bankrupt Store has arrived with a full line of boots, shoes, millinery, tinware, notions etc., that must and will be sold at astonishingly iow prices for cash. The reported death of Mrs. John Hemphill, in Nebraska, was a mistake,, as was also the report that Samuel Hemphill was dangerously sick. A Grand Donation Party will be held by R. Fendig at his store for the next 15 days. He proposes to donate 1 of his profit to cash buyers, by selling everything 10 per cent, less than anyone else. The L. N. A. a C. road earned the second in May, $39,057, an increase over th earnings of the corresponding week of 1830 of $9, - -753. The road thus far this year shows an increase in earnings erf $157,827. Don’t forget to remember that Ed Parcells has elegant and commodious bath rooms, in his barber chop in the Nowels’ block, and is prepared to accommodate his customers with a hot or cold bath, at all times. ts. Avery Brown, of Elkhart, has verified his claim to being the youngest person who was mustered into the northern army during the late civil war. He was percisely eight years, eleven months and three days old when he entered the service. Rev. Peter Hinds and family will return t'o Jasper county about the 25th of this month, and take up their abode on their Milroy ip. property. They come br.ck for the benefit of their health. The Rev.

They will have speeches by Dr. I. 8.. Washburn, W. Ingram, F. Chilcotrr.and others. An extended list of enteresting features, of various kinds are also being arranged for, including games, songs, clog dancers, music, music &c., and- all to conclude with a grand dance in the evening. No one need fear a dull time who spends the Fourth at Comer’s Grove.

Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bartoo, of Morgan Park, 111., were in town Monday, on their way home from Remington where they had visited friends. Mr, Bartoo was so well pleased with the country and people about Remington that he will probably buy a farm there, and make it his future home. One J. 8. Willey was arrested in Union tp., Monday, on thejstrength of a telegram from a man in Peoria 111., who claimed to have been a partner of Willey’s in some kind of a show business, and that W illey got away with the cash assets of the firm. No money was found on the prisoner, and aedferding to instructions he was released. The editor, his wife and cousin reached home Monday morning from their visit to Indiana’s most famous natural wonder, ihe Wyondotte cave. We have encountered so much interest among our people regarding this wonderful [natural curiosity that we have determined to give, or at least begin, 1 a somewhat extended description of it, next week.

“John, I fear you are getting reckless.” “How so. father.’’ “You; have had four suits of clothes this j | year and you wore only two last year. What is it? 'A change in fortune ? Making more money ?” “Xo, father, but 'Willey and Sigler are making less money, and sell clothing so much cheaper than the j store I used to trade at that I buy four suits now, for what two used to coak” ■ —-—t ——

Dr. Hatch, of Kentland, was in town Monday, and gave The Republican a plea sant - call. It was the Dr’s, first visit to Rensselaer for 7or 8 years, and he w'as much impressed with the appearance and improvement of the town. The man who has his paper marked “refused” or “uncalled for” when he is delinquent on the.books of the publisher may be an honest man, but we would not leave him alone in a room with a dead man, provided the corpse was accessible and had silver quarters over its eyes.—Valparaiso Messenger. James Bhindler, of Newton . tp., was drawn as a petit juror on the regular panel for the present term of court, but tvas excused, ou his own request, as not understanding the English language with sufficient jeadiness for a juror. ~ Squire A. E. Pierson, of Union tp., was gobbled up by the sheriff, Tuesday, to fill the vacancy.

• The price or coffee, which had advanced more than 100 per centduring the past year, and threatened to reach a still higher notch on account of reported shortness of this year’s crop, has at last taken a turn in the other direction jand declined several points, and I will probably go much lower. This ; year’s crop, it is now stated, will 1 greatly exceed that of last year. Clover is said to be king in Ben- ; ton county. A correspondent of i the Fowled Era says: “It has ! worked a revolution in our system *-ef work, not only adding greatly |to the fertility of tiie soil, but has : also reduced our spring work nearjly one half; as clover raising eni ables us to plant nearly or quite'all of our corn on fall plowing,, it is • -qfaek-ly-put in order and tfreHtoirg pull at spring jrkwing, is done away with.

A notable lawn party was given at the residence of J. M. Hopkins across the river, last Tuesday. It was in honor of the birthdays of, three young children, Lawson Meyer, Leonard Rhoades and Zulu Hopkins. 45 children between the ages of 3 and 5 years were present. They had a delightful time. J.

It is now reported that the drive well case recently decided by the Supreme Court, authorizing the collection of a royalty on all drivewells put in previous to ISSS, was : not a test case, but a “straw” case.; and that the case on trial that was ; expected to settle the question, has not yet been decided. Hence it may be well for those receiving tfreeircular letters demanding the immediate payment of the 810 royalty, to investigate a little before paying the amount demanded. — Michigan City Dispatch.

Commissioners Proceedings.

The application of Frederick A. Standish for license to keep a loon in Fair Oaks was finally <b--cided in applicant’s favor, and the license ordered to be issued. The application of John G. li< \ - nolds, for license to keep a saloon in Rensselaer, was decided in favor of the remonstrant, and the licenserefused. ’ - Among the claims against the county decided adversely by the commissioners were those of the estate of W. J. Wright for sls $9 for merchandise furnished' poor of Hanging Grove and Marion k-. respectively, which were dismi.-.--ed; as were also the claims of Geo. Belcher for costs in the cases of the State vs, Skinner and the State vs. Long, amounting to $13.85; John G. Tharp’s claim for as special constable was also allowed A contract was made with S.

The compensation allowed is to be two dollars 1 per week. The rate of taxation for purposes of county revenue, for the ensuing ' year was fixed at 50 cents on the hundred dollars, assessed [valuation. The rate of township taxation, for its various purposes, is given elsewhere. . : - Burgess Dillon and 81 other citizens of Union township, petitioned the Board to change the voting [place of that township from Brushwood school house to the town of Fair Oaks.

The common name fop this school house is, we believe, the Wild Lily. The commissioners decided in favor of the remonstrants and ordered the voting place changed, in accordance with the terms of their petition.' David Mitchell was allowed SSO and $6 costs, for damages to Iris horse, which fell through a bridge in Giilam township.

After which will come speeches and remarks by various gentlemen, including, especially, M. F. Cnilcote, W. B. Austin and O. M. Daugherty, of Rensselaer, and D. L. Bisfiopp, of Kentland. W. C. Tyler will read the Declaration. Music by Yeoman’s martial, ban l, and by the DeMott glee club. The attractions promised for the day are almost too numerous to enumerate.

C. Tyler will be manager and Profs. Frank: Dennis and Joseph Frame the musicians. { Among the attractions unintentipnally omitted from the bills.will be i a glass ball and target shooting match and a horse swing.
