REMINGTON ITEMS.

A sad occurance was witnessed at our depot last Saturday. Miss Susie Harris, of whose strange illness previous mention has been made, was brought into town, bound and secured with ropes and cords, loaded into 1 the baggage car, and taken to the asylum at Logansport. The groans of the poor girl were heartrending. Mr. Carsy Eastburn of Bencounty, but well known and highly esteemed in this place, is dangerously sick. His death is hourly expected. • The young ladies of the M. E. church will give a festival and fair in Exchange Hall this (Tuesday) evening which will doubtless be well patronized.

Robert Love of Kankakee, 111., and Bert Bartoo of Rensselaer Ind. are visiting home and friends a few days this week. The entertainment to be given by the pupils of the public schools on Saturday evening next promises to be one of the most entertaining and pleasant affairs of the season. Lord Ullin’s Daughter in pantomime, Reuben and Rachel by the little folks, Grandpa’s Birthday and a rifle drill by the boys, are among the attractions. Come over and have a good time.

An exchange says the new postal card is described as being very much like a double card of the present pattern. The back fold is split diagonally and opens out like a four pointed star. The four corners are folded and join in the center, when the card is ready for mailing, with a piece of gummed paper. The card weighs less than half an ounce, and will contain no more writing than the present card, the only advantage being greater privacy.

“The nations of Judah and Isreal have furnished wiser philosophers, greater law givers, abler military generals, wiser statesmen, better poets and abler financiers, than all other nations of the world besides. They have not only left their “foot prints on the sands of time” but the entire habitable globe has and does resound with the mighty tread of this mighty people. Prophets have marked out jthe road wherein they have and will travel. Poets have sung of' them and the historian has strewn their pathway with volumes most voluminous. “What is to be the final destiny nf this wonderful people?” will be the subject of the sermon to be delivered by R. 8. Dwiggins at the Church of God on next Sunday morning. All are cordially invited, especially our Jewish fellow citizens.”
