Miss Lydia Paris has just purchased and taken charge of a stock of millinery goods at Xenia, this State. '

' Mr. Patrick O’Donnell address- ! ed a large audience at Fair Oaks, j last Saturday evening and another at Eemingfon, on Monday. Thos. McGowan has bought of Dr. Washburn, and moved into the Jefferson Corns house, north of the Colborh himber yard. Sir. and Mrs. A. Thompson left for Helena, Montana, Monday, to j visit their daughter, Mrs. Ross. They will bp abseht a month .or more. Parents sending children to school should not fail to have them call at Long & Eger’s to buy books and supplies. They treat them right. Miss M. M. Hill is visiting among her many friends in Rensselaer, this week. Her school in Topeka, Ivans., will not open until the 21th, inst. v County Commissioner Taber, of Carpenter tp., reports thatj no rain has fallen in his part of the county since July sth. This lack of rain has proved very injurious to the corn crop. Those who fyave seen Long & Eger’s new line of stationery say it is the largest and most beautiful assortment ever brought to town. They are selling cheap and fast, John Stible of Union tp.,' is hauling out lnniber this week, for a new house. Last week Jas. Keister and Mr. Dlu/. ik of Jordan, did likewise. Pretty good buildings, all or them.

Scholars a.ncl teachers are respectfully invited to call at Long A Eger’s Drug Emporium and examine their note books, pencils, slates and in fact, all school supplies, before purchasing. We guarantee prices and q-wd-jtyi-**-'" The report of reiiT-Sstiit a transfers in this issue covers a period of two weeks. Thirty-two instruments are reported, ail'd the sum Total of the -considerations given, ie $39,1310. 86 much activity in tlve, real-estate of Jasper county is a good illustration of the *.ora ail'd' rapid devtdopemenfc of the county. The attendance of pupil > at the Rensselaer public schools lagt Monday, the first day oi the School year, was oil),din inciease ■.l more than 50 over the attendance at the beginning of last year’s .school. At ..this rate of increase the town will be obliged to erect an additional school building, within a year or two.

Joseph Yeoman, a well to-do citizen of Newton township, has bought of Alfred and S. T\ Thompson about 20 acres in Th. riupßOfi’s . fi.ddil.ion, west (if N. V'. Snodgrass ’ new house, and intends to erect a good building thoreupon, and to occupy the same as a residence. Thus our town continues to add new and desirable element:? to its 1 populalion-. ~ ;C # Last Sunday night some malicious idiot cut and pulled down the rope to the weather-signid pole, in front of The Ref&beican office. The pole is too small at the : top to be climed with snTftyj and there is no way by which ‘he rope can be replaced in the pulley ex- ' cept to take down the pole. This would occasion considerable trouble and. ex pens and after it was dbne there would lie no assurance that the same whelps who cut the rope this time would not repeat the outrage within a week. In view of these circumstances the displaying of weather signals is suspenejy ed and unless some citizen feds interest enough in the* matter. TA take it;up,, will he .permanently ; discoufittneet

Dept. Sheriff O. A. Yeoman movedlyesterday back to the old place, in Newton township. H. J. Dexter is the book man of Rensselaer, buy your books of him. - The Surveyor’s room in the court house was neatly repapered this week, by E. 0. Owens. Rev. Pelley is attending the North-west Indiana M. E. (Conference, at Rochester. Harve Robinson goes to Lafayette this week to enter upon Lis course of study at Purdue Uni.yersity. , ... i

Stones for the foundations of the new Methodist church are being piled on Van Rensselaer’s vacant lot, north of the Makeever house, to remain until a site for the church is definitely secured. Miss Ura McGowan has been visiting m the family of her uncle, Judge Bhrson, in Winamac, and attending the teachers institute there. She expects to teach in White-Port township, Pulaski | county, this winter.

- Billy Wonder is trotting in Lafayette, this'week. He trotted in Remington last week, but only got third 7 place. He was matched against some excellent trotters [ from Valparaiso and Logansp.jrt | and was not in good condition i either. He gave them a mighty good race, though. The report of real-estate transfers, in this issue of The Republican shows that O. Br Mdfntire, of Remington has disposed of ( much of hfs property interests in that town to Hon. A. Ys r olcott, and ! others. Mr. Mclntire is preparing to remove to Alabama, we are . . informed, to take an interest in a now town in that state. j A Charity Party, with some very ' ( novel features, will be given by j the Flower Mission Society, at the : Nowels House, this evening. The j guests are expected to bedeck them-! solves in the raggedest attire {bey can beg or borrow: and the lady Ttiiff gentlem aif, wlio, in Iho '“mat-" i ter of rags “take the rag off the bush” will be awarded ar prize. ~ The Remington fair., last week, drew immense crowds, as usual. The number of tickets sold on the biggest day, Thursday, was about 4,400? The exhibit of sto6k, ee’pecially of horses, was large and I good. The races were* also good, jin most other respects the. fair | was rather slim; although the |ladies made a good display, in ■some departments in the Floral Hall.

John. Smith, the same old soak |whose fining for drunkenness was I mentioned last week, was released rlast Saturday by the sheriff and j got howling *drunk again, before! night. He was run in again by j i Constable Wood, and Sunday! j mornin g- Judge- -Morgan - assessed j another fine against him of 85 and ' ! costs, a total of 812.45 and' in de- | fault of which lie is again doing time in the-Cgunty jail. Comrades and others going to Columbus should apply for tickjets as early as Friday, Bept. 7, to I give “the agent time to send, to ; headquarter? and get them here. The rate £ro|n .Rensselaer is E-Lfis,-rouud trip,, on such line as applicant may select, but not by way. of Cincinnati. Of course there will be side excursions to Cincinnati ifrom Columbus at very low rates. ' For other information sec elsewhere in The Republican, '• J. A. Buhnbam. A bold attempt at burglaryx was i made at the post-office, yesterday | morning. About 5 o’clock a man ■ broke a pane of glass in the side window of the building oii the least side, adjoining E. N. H.ylend’s building. Mr. Hyland hired |girl was up at the time, &§d heard ; the noise-of the breaking window, and looking out ‘ skw the man ijs Ithe act of putting his handihroagh The broken pane, with the, evident '’intention of removing the fa-ten-tings of the windoWj in order to erj f.-ct ah entrance. The girl rapp H I on | the window, nndnlie man left at 'ppge:) Thu girl ctescribes him fan old looking man, with gray whiske rs. Evidently he was a stranger in these parts. s

The New Methodist Church.

Last week we gave some particulars regarding the church edifice about to be erected'in* Rensselaer, for thoM. E. congregation. This Aveek we have the,privilege of presenting our readers with a picture, showing the building as it will appear when 'completed. It will really be seen that it will not only be a roomy and convenient

Any person knowing of a family in need woh-ld oblige the society by reportiug frnrin persons -to aury onu of th eexecurive committee. Floy Powell, Mbs. Ellis, Becy. Pres. 7C~ bad accident happened in White county last Saturday. Ilobt.

ornament to the town, a most notablo addition to the architectural attractions of Rensselaer. The accompanying diagram shows the interior arrangements of the building and also will serve to give some idea of the external configuration of those parts of the exterior which are not shown in the picture. The auditorium will contain 310 full seats, and the lecture room, which can be made a part of the auditorium by opening the folding doors, will furnish seating room for an additional 100. The building is to be of brick, with stone foundations and slate roof. Its cost will be not less than $5,000 and probably will reach $6,000, when completed and furnished. The amount now subscribed. by responsible parties, is very nearly $5,000, thanks to the wonderful energy; tact, and perseverance under very discouraging cirpii instances, of the pastor, Rev.. E. Geo. Pelley.

In conformity with the order of the County Board of education, made at their May meeting, the. County Superintendent has prepared and had printed a new Manual of the common Schools of Jasper county. It is an excellent work of its kind and will prove of great, service to the common schools of the county. . Fifteen handled copies have been printed and it is intended that every family 6! school patrons in the county shall have a copy. It is also intended that they in the hands of every ‘teacher in the county. The manuals should be carefully preserved by their possessors, as it is the custom to issue new ones only every second year.
