From Remington.

Dr. 0. H. Patton and Rev. John B. Beaeoner, of Maeon, HI., oonveyed the afflicted father of the latter gentleman to the asylum at Log&nsport, last Friday. Owing to his ldvanced age bnt little hope is entertained for his recovery. The Hartford, Oonn., Daily of July 15, contains an acepunt of the sickness and death of Mr. Wa Bolles, of that city. Mr. Bolles was well known to many of our citizens, having formerly owned a large store in this place. He was quite wealthy—his wealth running into the millions. The Sioux Falls Press, of recent date, contains a fairly well executed wood cut engraving of our former townsman and County Clerk, Mr. 0. H. Price. He has teen appointed one of a committee to revise and re-adapt the territorial laws to suit the requirements of the new states, which responsible duty Mr. Price is fully capable of filling. Lightning struck the chimney of one of the elevators at this place last Friday morning, doing but comparatively little damage. It is rumored that the three elevators have all passed into the hands of one firm, Chalmers, Brown & Co., of Chicago, with W. H. Coover as president.

Work on the new school house has teen suspended for the past few days, owing to want of material. The slate roofing has arrived, and after the needed bricks come, the work; will go forward rapidly. Hon. S. P, Thompson was in town last Friday. Mrs. £. E. Yeoman and daughter took their departure for their home in Oronogo, Mo., last Friday. Harvey Durand and wife of New York City, are visiting their father, Treat Durand, of this place, who, is seriously sick. Mrs. Geo. Griffin, Mrs. Jacob Thomas aad Miss Stella Griffin are spending the heated term in the pleasant climate of northern Michigan. In the list of appointments in the Chicago Herald of Saturday last, was the name of Wm. Bunnell. P. M. at Remington, Ind., “office become presidential.” Mr. Bunnell and his assistant, Mr. G. B. Clark have filled the office in a courteous and satisfactory manner. Dr. Samuel Ritchie spent Friday and Saturday with friends in Remington. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Balthia and daughter, (who arrived last Friday,) now occupy their handsome and pleasant new home on the corner of Harrison and New York streets. A new son has been added to tho growing family of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Lambert during the past week. One or two little inaccuracies crept into the items of last week for which we ask the pardon of those concerned.
