County Correspondence.

REMINGTON ITEMS. The work nn the school house was brought to a standstill by the excessive rains of last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday» bat was resumed bright and. early Monday morning. The friends of Superintendent Warren congratulate him. upon his re-election. Alfred A. Hoover, of Rensselaer, visited friends in Remington, last Saturday and Sunday. The services of Decoration Day to which our citizens were looking forward with pleased anticipation, were unavoidably postponed, owing to the driving rain which lasted through the entire day. Two or three Odd Fellows braved the fury of the storm and drove out with a buggy load of flowers which they placed of the graves of their departed brethren. We understand that the graves of the soldiers in our cemetery will be decorated some time in the near future. Mrs. J. E. Hollett aud Miss Schilling left last week for a visit with friends in Lexington, 111. Robert Love is visiting in Kankakee and other towns in 111. Henry Smith, of Rensselaer, visited his sister, Mrs. J. K. Bingman, and family, over Sunday. Mrs. Fannie Branham Clough, of Indianapolis, is the guest of her sister, Mrs. E. H. Briggs.

Mr. James Broadie returned from a short visit to Lafayette, last Wednesday bringing a new wife with him. We understand that the present Mrs. Broadie is a sister to his first wife, and like her a most estimable lady. Two or three fights ending in a like number of arrests and fines disturbed the monotony of life in Miss Anna Jones, of Fowler, is visiting the families of Mr. Sheetz and Mr. Hawkins. George Healey, of Rensselaer, is now a compositor on the Remington News. Children’s Day will be generally observed in this place. Attractive services will be held in the Presbyterian church the second Sunday in this month, and in the M. E. church the third Sunday. The date of the exercises in the Christian church is unknown to your correspondent, but the program will be good and well carried out whenever the services may be. Mr. Hart, ot the Hart House, is on the sick list. Two or three couples in Remington have lately come to the conclusion that “marriage is a failure,” judging from their actions. Remingtonian.

GILL AM ITFMS. Mrs. Lizzie Hines has returned from her visit at Danville, 111. Mr. and Mrs. David Rathfon have also returned from their visit at jELjKayptf. D. B. Coppess is again seen among us. The continued rains of last week have caused many of our farmers to wear long iaces. The scene their cornfields iu a floating condition, is too much for them. Some days ago Mrs. Jesse Osborne met with quite a severe accident. When climbing over a fence she fell with most of her weight upon her left arm, breaking the large bone below the elbow. It has caused her a great deal of pain but is getting along very well. Quarterly meeting services at the Chapel on Sunday, May 25, were largely attended. The audiance was well entertained by Elder Smith who delivered a very able discourse. The services in the evening were conducted by Rev. Moore. John Mitchell was quite unfortunate some days ago. His team ran away with him smashing up the wagon and seriously injuring himself. One arm was badly fractured above the elbow and the elbow joint dislocated. Dr. Jones stated that it was the worst break he ever attended. Mr. Mitchell will hardly be able for manual labor this summer. Our well known friend O. H. Hunt, formerly of this place, but now a druggist in Medaryville, was married on last Wednesday to one of Medaryville’s most estimable young ladies, Miss Eva Horner, at the residence of the bride’s parents, Rev. Moore officiating. The wedding wVs quiet but {Peasant. The happy couple took eave on the evening train for Detroit, Michigan, frorp which place they expect to extend their tour to Niagara Falls and parts of Can-

* - "•: • ••• </ .- • ada. The best wishes of their numberless friends will ever attend them. - “Gossip” says there will be a wedding or two in Giil&m befor long. We wonder who? Misses Mollie Faris aud Linda Maddox and Mr. MeKindre Fans have returned from Valparaiso, where tiiey- have been attending ■ school. '77 — —~ The graduation exercises held at the Chapel on the eveding of June Ist, were largely attended and in every respect were a succes, notwithstanding the muddy roads and damp weather. The graduates acquitted themselves very creditably. Music was furnished by the choir and Gillam baud. Rara Avis.

FROM WHEATIIELD. Potato bugs are numerous and cut worms are doing h great deal of damage in this locality. The recent rains have drowned out 40 per cent, of the low land, corn. _ Wheat and rye are good in this vicinity. The hay crop will not be as good as usual. Wm. Smiley, our newly appointed postmaster, received his commission, and took possession of the office last Friday. Gtax Stembel has moved into his new dwelling house in Gra-

ham’s addition.

Planting and Care or Young Fruit Trees.

Much attention should be given to 4he preparation of the soil before the young tree is planted. The hole for receiving the tree should be large enough so that the longest roots may not be cramped and have at least six inches of good mellow soil in the bottom of the hole. After trimoff the broken and bruised roots, place the tree in the hole so that it may be but little iE any deeper than it stood in the nursery. Fill in a small quantity of good soil, throw some water in and thoroughly pack the earth around the roots of the young tree. This excludes the dry air or frost that would most certainly kill the young tree. Fill to two or three inches above the surface to give room for settling. Never use manure in contact with the roots of the trees. It will kill or greatly injure them. Large standard trees should, by all means, be staked and tied to prevent the wind from loosening the roots. If the roots becomes loose m the ground, air will be admitted, which will dry out the roots and kill the tree. Be careful that the bands you use to confine the tree between the stake do not chafe the tree. Examine your trees and see if they do not need some attention of this kind.

MULCHING.

Youug trees should be thoroughmulched or a cover of coarse manure, saw dust or small chips, six iuches deep should be placed around the tree for a space of at least three feet. This insures dampness and an even temperature. Failure to attend to this is secret of the ill success of many iu raising young trees. If you have not mulched your trees attend to it at once, don’t wait until your trees are dead and then lay the blame on tbe maa who sold the trees.

CULTURE.

The ground around youug trees should be thoroughly cultivated. No weeds or grass should be allowed to grow near the roots of young trees. If the ground is poor, give a liberal top-dressing of manure. Thorough mulching, however, is all that is needed to iusure good growth. Procure good healthy trees, plant on well drained soil, attend to these simple rules and yonr trees will grow.

A NEW DODOS.

By Which m* Aitffcl CM iftnl •( m Bstlrwad Oempeev. As a reporter stood la the crowd around the tjcket office in the Old Colony depot in Boston just before the train left for the Fall River boat, yesterday, a woman pushed her way to the window and said: “A ticket to New York, please.* At the lame moment a man hurried up, and flapping down Ms money called out also “New York.” The ticket agent took in one of the hills, 1 shot out the change. Which the man hastily scooped up and darted away into the crowd. The woman stoop waiting for her ticket, seeing her money was gone, and finally ventured to remind the agent that it was almost time for the train to start. “I gave you your ticket and change,” laid the man. “Why, ’said the woman, “that’s what lam waiting for. You attended that man before you did me, though 1 got here first." The woman was positive the agent had taken in her money, and bad given her no return for it, and the agent was equally positive that he had handled but one $5 bill. By this time the conversar tion grew heated, and the crowd was three deep waiting for a chance at the window. The gong was almost sounding. and they grew restless as the dialogue grew more pointed and emphatic. At last the ticket agent observed that the woman was crazy, to which she returned that perhaps she was, but she wanted her money and was going to have it The matter was finally brought to an end by the woman getting a ticket shoved out to her. The ticket agent said later that this was a new dodgei and he wouldn’t be caught that way again. The artful dodger had waited his oportunity to come to .the ticket window just as the woman stepped up, and after throwing out his money, to give her an impression of two bills lying on the counter, he jerked his bill back into his sieve, seized the woman’s ticket and change, and made off with it, quickly losing himself in the crowd.

A PECULIAR STONE.

It Possesses the Flexibility of a Piece of India Rubber. The Washington Star gives an interesting account of a stone belonging to the chief clerk of the war department. It weighed about a pound and was thirteen Inches In length and two and oncihalf in width, and oue-eiglitk of an inch thick. On picking it up from liis desk, when his attention was called to it, a reporter noticed that it bent slightly at the ends, and had the feeling of an elastic substance, On removing the wiapper, however, it was seen to be a bard, conmact piece of sandstone of a light yellow color, with ends cut to points. The texture of the stone was fine, and presented no evidence of stratification, and was smooth over the entire surface. A knife blade made no impression on the particles. There win 40 doubt as to hi being a genuine stone, but it nevertheless possessed the flexibility of a piece of India rubber. When taken in the hand and shaken in the direction of its flat surface it would bend back and forth with a dull, muffled sound. The movement was more of a laxity in the adhesion, apparently, than an elasticity. When held horizontally by one end the other would drop and remain in that position. With the two ends supported on rests the free center could be pressed half an inch below tbe middle line. Witli one end held firmly on the desk the other could be bent upward over an inch. The movement was not confined to the one direction—in the plane of the flat surfaces—but the entire stone seemed to be constructed on tbe principle of a universal joint, with a movement perceptible in all directions under a pressure.

The Penalty of Fame.

Yr. Chauncey M. Depew’s desk in his office in tbe Grand Central “station"—as he delights to call it—reveals something Of the penalty that fame brings in its train. Apparently every one sends him evertliing. By a recent morning’s mail he got a ticket to sn “inauguration ball” in Indianapolis, a queer Japanese nnt, a penknife, the handle of which was made of wood from tbe old fence at Yale college, and an nvltation to run up to Chappaqua and deliver nn address upon Horace Greeley. Ire iously received and lying on the de<k were an alleged pair es Daniel Webster's spectacles and a new puzzle just invente 1 here were many other odd things there, in all probability, but they were buried, for he keeps his desk like an edifor’s, in such a litter that it may be said to lie no better than if it were upside down.

HARD HIT ON THE FIELD.

We had been held in reserve for five j long hours while cannon thundered and j nrnahffat crackled spitefully along the' front» mile away A procession of dead *nA wounded had filed past ns until we were sick with horror. Shot and shell and bullet had fallen upon us behind the woods until the dry, dead, grass bore many a stain of blood. , ,j “-Attention! Forward—guide right—march!” Our brigade was going in at last, and there was a look of relief on the face of every officer and man as we got the word. „ ...-7-;- 1 - -—~. ... -“Utudo right—f ron t —f orward—march!” As we swung clear of the woods agu9t of wind raised the smoko for a minute, and 1 saw the plain jn our front blue with dead and wounded. Away beyond them was a lineof earthworks, and I had ono swift glimpse cf a thin blue line kneeling behind the cover. “Steady! Right dress! Double quick —march!” The air is alive with the ping of bullets and tli9 whiz and Shrieks of shot and shell. We bend our heads as if breasting a fierce gale laden with icy jielleta There is a wild cry—a shriek—a groan as men are struck and fall to the earthy but no one heeds them—no one hesitates It is a hurricane of death, but we feel a wild exultation in breasting it. Men shout, curse, sing, swing their hats and cheer. We are driving through the smoke cloud when there is a flash of fire in front. I seem to rise into the air and float hither and thither, and the sensation is rodreamyJand.fulLefi’est that 1 wish it could last forever. It is suddenly broken by the sound of my own voice. Is it my voice? it sounds strange and afar off to me. Why should i cheer and curse by turns? What lias happened? Ah! now 1 come back to earth again! Above and around mo is the smoke—the earth trembles under the artillery—men -•ftre-lTing’abqut' amt heSid® iße. Where is the brigade? Why did I drop out? I am lying on my hack and I struggle to sit up and look around. 1 rise to my knees, weave this way and that, topple over and struggle up again. There is red, fresh blood on the grass, on my hands, on my face. I taste it on iny lips as my parched tongue thrusts itself out in search of moisture. Who is groaning? Who is shrieking? Who is cheering? And-wiry should I laugh and exult? I will spring up and follow on after the brigade.

A Me an Husband.

The champion mean man has been found in Vermont A young indy went into a dentist’s office a few days ago and had her tedh examined, the doctor re porting them badly decayed, but bv quite an outlay of money he could put them in good shape. The young lady departed, saying she would report to h r lfu b nd and call again in a few days. Mu-did so, and on her second call she whs comranied by her father, the bitter til - ing the dentist to go ahead with the job and be would pay the bill. Thinking tbe dentist might wonder why he was p ying the bill the father explained that the husband had said his wife’s teeth dec ved before he married her, and he w s not going to pay for fixing them up; Jict father ought to do it.

Teaching How to Mount a Carriage.

A London fashion journal says that there Is in New York a fashionable boarding school where young women are taught to enter and get out of a carriage. “A vehicle with the proper pedifi arrangements for this sort, of exercise, which determines a lady’s breeding and claim to social position, la kept in the back yard of the educational establish ment, and the carriage classes are put through the most arduous training.” The information is also eiven that ’ an<>t er accomplishment peculiar to this giltedeed academy is learning to eat asparagus, Pranges, grapes and other juicy and unmanageable viands in a style tha shall represent the perfection of table manam." : -

Vesuvius Active.

Vesuvius has lately been very active. It l lias teen rapidly throwing up a newooua j of eruption about thirty to forty yards to the southwest of the original one, and the fissure across the crater plane toward the west-southwest is increasing in size and is richer in acid emanations. It Is possible, therefore, that an eruption may tahe place soon on that side of the cone, since the vent tends to shift along the fissure pointing in that direction.

How Could It Happen?

A rather strange affliction happened to a Minnesota couple who were sidgb ridi ing. The young man’s right ear and the lady's ’«ft car was frosted, while the other i two were not cold at all. Why all four ears were not f rosted la a problem which has been submitted to the high school i class in physiolgy. x „
