Landlord Blue had so far mended as to be able to get down into the office of his hotel, Tuesday afternopn, for the first time for three weeks: Long & Eger extend a cordial invitation to all to call at their elegant store room and inspect their stock. They take pleasure in showing goods. A. E. Coen has lately moved from Greensburg, Kansas, to Pratt Center, where he has charge of a stock of goods, which the firm of Coen & Hinkle have become possessed of.

We are now displaying one of the largest, cheapest and best selected lines of wall paper ever brought to Rensselaer. A glance at our stock will convince you of this fact. Long & Eger. J. W.

The Arion Swiss bell ringers had a good last Saturday evening. This company’s entertainment is largely in the nature of a comic variety show, without any trace of improprieties though, and was enjoyed immensely by most of the audience.

Elder A. Linkletter, an able preacher ami prominent temperance worker, preached at the Christian church, Saturday evening, and twice on Sunday. Mr. Linkletter has been in pastoral charge of the Christian congregation at Valparaiso for the last four years, but has lately resigned and accepted a call from Fowler.

Henry Mackey, the Rensselaer marble man, has just been given the contract for ere cting a fine, all granite monument to the memory of Mrs. Lizzie Recher, deceased wife of Dr. Recher. The monument will be erected in the Fracesville cemetery. Mr. Mackey secured this contract in the face of strong competition, from Lafayette and other places.

Idaville Observer: A little daughter of David Elder’s, while playing about an open well on Wednesday, fell to the bottom, a distance of twenty-fiye feet. The ’child’s screams brought assistance and it was elevated from j,ts strange position. Fortunately- the well was nearly dry, and the child only suffered a, few severe bruises, but how it escape J fiactured bones or even death is a mastery.

Mrs. John Groom desired to extend thank's to neighbors and friends for their kindness and many good deeds toward • her daughter, MarV Ann.Bierly, during her sickness and death. Mrs. Bierly was born in England, June 5,1852, apd was three .years of age when her parents came to this country,—She married JacobJßierx ly at Rensselaer, in November, 1871, and, bore to him .eleven child-, ten, three of whom are dead, besides th£ infant buridd with her.

Mrs. Rogers, widow of a former Baptist minister located at Rensselaer, died about two weeks since, at her home at Ashton, 111. She was well known to a great many of our people. The Benjamin lumber yard and coal business has changed hands. Frank Wolf & Co., is the style of the raw firm. Mr. Benjamin has rented them his office building, sheds &c., for a terrii of three years. Mr. Wolf is from Attica.

The Republican man has just been having a nlore than ordinarily severe wrestle with his'old enemy, the quinzy. and the result has been that all the editorial functions have been greatly interfered with, except the use of the shears and paste pot. Hence the unusually large amount of reprinted matter, in this issue.

Dr. Quivey, the dentist, is an able musician and an exceptionally good judge of violin playing. He lias heard all the world renowned violinists of the present day, including even the great Remenyi, and he pronounces Miss Anna Miller to be equal to the best. She will play in the Opera House next Wednesday evening, for the benefit of the Rensselaer school library

Francesville Era.—H. E. Bucklen was here with the contractor yesterday and informs us. that they have examined the gas well and find but little change in the flow since when first struck. The report that the well is a “goner” is all rubbish. He says he is going to have the old gas well filled up with sand and mortar, and thinks that will strengthen the flow of the new well.

Ira C. Kelley, dentist, would respectfully inform the public that he is still in the practice of dentistry, where all operations on the teeth are skillfully performed, at moderate prices. Thanking the public for the patronage heretofore extended, he hopes for a continuance of the same. Dr. Kelley is a permanent fiture amdng you, and any and all operations done bp him will be (No bogus warrant, either.) Office over Ellis & Murray’s store. Don’t mistake the place. Iba G. Kellev.. The renowned lady violinist, Miss Anna Miller and her sister Mrs. Miller Schiltz, assisted by some of our home talent-, will give an entertainment at the Opera House on next Wednesday evening, March 14, for the benefit of the high school library.

I fail to hear Miss Miller, the celebrated Lady Violinist, for the benefit of the high school library, at the Opera House, next Wednesday evening, March 14th. Those that have tried, say Long & Eger keep the finest .line of perfumeries, soaps, and, in fact, all kinds of toilet goods ever brought to our city. Mr. Eugene Sayler and Miss Bonnie Hodshire, both of Rensselaer, were married Tuesday evening, by Rev. B. F. Ferguson, at his residence. .A Squire J. C.

Winamac Republican: In a conversation in a store in this town a inan rerharlted that a newspaper was a damned nuisance.. Of course this man knows it all, but he can neither read nor write. But what a pity, for he might as well be President as working on the section. The the store set forth about the same argument, and we will venture to say that man keeps store better than anybody in town. How a town would boom if it was made up of such live, energetic, deep thinking, animals as these.

The Century magazine for March contains an extended and very interesting account of the famous tunnel at Libby prison, in war times. The interest of this remarkable episode is increased to people in this vicinity, by the fact that one of our most estimable citizens was among the 109 men that crawled through the tunnel and made a desperate break for liberty. We refer to Capt. J. M. Wasson, of Marion , tp. Of the above number nearly half were recaptured, and among these unfortunates was Capb Wasson. The recaptured men were piinished with outrageous and revolting severity. z ‘ ' t.t * • r» i • 1.1 1 2

From information that is doubtless entirely reliable, Montana’s (John Willey’s) museum did not “bust'up" at Boswell, as reported. Or at least it was .reorganized again, and the proprietor claims that the apparent wreck was only a little farce, whereby certain undesirable members of thecompany were disposed oh The new company is said to number several, able artists ip their line, and thQ only democrat in the whole outfit, the proprietor says, is the mummy, which is no mote than is to be exr_ pected of Bp ancient and case hardened a fossil. The politics of the serpent are not stated, but if he is any relation to the viper in the story, that* stung the that warmed it in his bosom, it must bo a St John prohibitionist.

Monday was “Dog Day” with the township trustees, as on that day, the first Monday in March they must report to the county auditor the amount of dog tax collected in their respective townships, and amount paid but for sheep killed by dogs. There is hope for better mail service on the Monon. The Indianapolis Journal of Tuesday had the following: Col. G. W. Friedley, general solictor of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago road, who has been in Washington for some days to secure better mail service on the road, has returned much encouraged. He has been assured by the Postmaster general that before the close of the present month something will be done in the matter. It is proposed to put on regular mail cars and postal clerks, making two trips each way daily between Chicago and Louisville. The editor of a neighboring paper says: “Male and female swindlers going from door to door with dry" goods find notions, destroy legitimate business; long haired singing pimps, as doctors, deal out medicines on the streets to people, and reformed (?) drunkards and prize fighters and gamblers are invited, to the exclusion of Christian ministers, into the pulpit of churches to show men the way of life, and yet we are told that the millenium is dawning. That editor ought to “take suthin” for his liver. He’s bilious.

That Big Dance.

The dance given at Monon, W ednesday evening, Feb. 29, by the Benedicts and their followers was a grand affair in all respects, and thoselhat failed to attend missed a rare treat. Music was furnished by Ohlsen’s full orchestra, of Lafayette, and to say. that it was excellent; is but a ipild expression. Goh D. J. C. Barps, of Lafayette, was prompter. A bountiful feast was also served. -JBT J- York, Dan M. Garr and others were untiring managers. B attle Jjlround, Lowell, MQuticello, Francesville, Indianapoi|s, Brookston and Rensselaer represented, but owing misunderstanding the latter was not represented as well as mighthaveKeen.
