From Remington.

Mr. Frank Gray, livine six miles northwest from town, is suffering with a broken leg, caused by ai runaway team, attached to the water wagon of a threshing machine. The writer of these items is heartily sorry that any item at any time should seem to disparage, in the slightest degree, the well known abilities of our excellent superintendent of public schools, Mr. J. C. Dickerson. The error in question was not intentional, but owing entirely to a want of proper information on the part of your correspondent. Mr. Dickerson is a man who stands high in this community, as an educator and as a gentleman, and no doubt able to conduct a Normal School on the latest scientific principles. Comrades P. H.Lally, M. J. Costello, Ezra Bowman and Harry Miller attended the re-union of Wilder’s Brigade at Chattanooga last week. They report an immense crowd and a splendid time.

The choir of the M. E. church Has been re-organized, with Prof. J. C. Dickerson as chorister, since H. H. Walker resigned. The music last Sunday at the re-opening service was very fine. The venerable J. W. T. McMullen, D. D., held services, both morning and evening, preaching with the old time fire and vigor. He will supply the pulpit until a regular pastor can be secured. The marriage of Miss Pearl Walker, daughter of Dr. Walker, of this place, and Mr. Brown, a rising young merchant of Cincinnati, 0., will take place on Wednesday of this week, at the home of the bride’s parents, on N.JJhio street. The members of the G. A. B. Post in this place with their families and a large number of their comrades from Rensselaer, sat down to a great feast in the Hall last Saturday night, the occasion being their yearly re-union. It was a time of more than ordinary social enjoyment, and we hope it it will be many years before any comrade of them is summoned to report at headquarters. Mrs. Geo. Griffin, Mrs. Jacob Thomas and Miss Stella Griffin returned from a summer sojourn in Michigan, much improved in health.

Mr. and Mrs. Treat Durand left Monday for a health resdrt in Michigan. Mrs. Levi Hawkins was called to Williamsport last Monday, by the serious sickness of hej.bj;at , y?ra * ’’Remingtonian.
