From Remington.

Mr. Horace Blood, better known as Grandfather Blood Las been dangerously sick during the past week, but is now a little better. Being far advanced in years his recovery is doubtful. I Messrs. Briggs, Locke, Wells & Co., lost an imported horse valued at $2,500, last Thursday night Thoinas Harper left on Thursday last for an extended southern trip. He expect? to be absent about t-Uree months.

Thomas Babb and his bride left on Thursday last for Chicago, enroute to Burlington, lowa. Miss Alma Babb joined them in Chicago last Saturday, were they all remained until the early part of this week when they each went their separate ways, the latter returning to her work in the Duluth P.O. Miss Agnes Nelson and her niece Isabel White, left on Thursday last for Braceville, 111., where she expects to spend the winter. ‘Two new arrivals in Remington the same day. A son to Mr. and Mrs. C. Cheek and a son to Mr. and Mrs. KesslerGeorge Stiller is still mending but very slowly. He is not yet able to leave his bed. It is now thought that the schools will begin about the first Monday in November.

'Rev. Scott, of Chicago, occupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian church last Sunday and Elder LeMiller tbatof the Christian church. There will probably be services in the M. E. church next Sunday by Rev. J. T. Greenway. Warren Roadifer met with a painful accident last Sunday while riding a bicycle. Striking against a stone the machine upset throwing Mr. Roadifer with great force 4 against the street crossing. He • was taken to Dr. Landon where it! was found that his cheek bone was fractured Miss Lizzie Brondie left here on the noon train last Saturday,' for Dakota, where she will be married this (Monday) evening—no preventingprovidence-toMr. Wm. Rowe, of that state. The engagement is one of many years standing and the many friends of both parties in this place will hope for ' Mr. and Mrs. Rowe many years of! happiness and prosperity. We neglected at the proper time : to chronicle the departure of our i young friend Chancy Landon, who 1 left this place two or three weeks ■ ago for Ellsworth, 111., where he! has a good position in the tele-' graph office in that place. E. H. Briggs returned on Sat-1 urday last from Scoharie, N. Y., | to which place he had accompanied j the remains of the late Treat Du- i rand. The Albany Argus contain- i ed a full biographical sketch of; our departed fellow citizen, saying • among other things that he had' been a personal friend of Presi- j dent Van Buren. He had been! sheriff of Scoharie county for a number of years and had filled other offices of trust and profit, and had been a man of great enterprise and public spirit As far as health permitted he was active in promoting the interests of Rem- i ington. Invitations are out for a parlor base ball tournament to be given by Miss Anna Forbes on Friday ; evening. It will be something new in the way of entertainments and will doubtless be a pleasant affair.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Come, everybody, to th? Opera House, on Nov. Ist and get a good supper for the small sum of 25 cents. A good girl is wanted by T. W. Haus, to work in his restaurant, st good wages. ~ ■ , Considerable alarm has been created among Indiana butchers by the advent* of agents of Swift & Co., and the Armour Beef 'Co.,'of Chicago, ■who are making a tour of the State with a view’ of establishing depots and supplying the meat markets in the large cities. Where these depots are opened choice meats are offered at a price from one to three cents lower than butchers claim they can possibly sell for.—Ex.

The progress that the present management has made in bringing the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago to the front is being favorably commented on by the Eastern press. But few roads have so rapidly come come into prominence as has the Monon in the last three years, and through connection witlrSouthern lines, arranged of late, the business of the road bids fair to be 50 per cent, heavier within the next twelve months.—lndianapolis Journal.

Many of the farmers are holding their potatoes this fall, thinking that th ep rice will advance. But the present indications are that they will be cheaper than they are now. Here is what a leading commission house of Chicago.says on the subject: “On potatoes we think there is no hope of any increase in price, as the crop is the biggest on record. The receipts are enormous. On the C. & N. W. tracks alone there arc 45 cars for sale. Thirty cents is the outside price, and they have to be choice at that.” There are some mitigating features to the nuisance of cows running at large in the town during the period when there is plenty of grass for them to eat, but hardly any in spells like the present, when there is almost no growth of vegetation whatever.rsEfafe herd of hungry roam the streets now is a great nuisance. They can get but little to eat in a legitimate way and are therefore constantly on the watch to slip through open gates or to steal hay or grain from the farmers’ wagons or to purloin cabbages and such from the grocery stores. Owners of cows should try to keep them off the streets as much as possible at such times as this. There was a trial of speed, last Thursday afternoon, at the fair grounds, between the Stock Fann’s new trotter, Zerlene and Rinehart’s pacer, Billy F. There were two mile heats, in both of which the little mare outfooted the big downeaster without the least trouble, and he is not at all slow, cither. Zerlene is pronounced by horsemen to be the best trotting mare in the state. She is certainly a very fine animal and wonderfully well gaited. The Stock Farm made a big strike when they bought her, especially as the price was only $1,425, or not more than 50 cents on the dollar of her real value, in the opinion of good horsemen. The Farm will put her on the race conrse next year and expect to'make a big stake with her. There is another hitch between the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago and the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Rys. in the change of time and the matter has been postponed again, but it is now announced that the j change will be made next Sunday. ■lt is understood that the trains be - j tween Cincinnati and Chicago will i hereafter run into the latter city in- ! dependently of the trains between Chicago and Louisville, and not combining the trains at Monon, as at pres ent. The Chicago and Cincinnati

trains will pass Rensselaer, going north, at about 5 o’clock a. m., and 2 . o’clock i*. m. Going south the trains ' will pass here at about midnight and ;11 a. .11. The Indianapolis accomi modation, which goes north at 11:10 ia. m. will be taken off. What I changes, if any, will be made in the trains between Chicago and Louisville we have iiot learned. J. C. Porter reached home Tuesday forenoon from his western trip, tie was in a pretty serious railroad accident Friday night. The train struck a broken rail and niost of the cars went down a 10 foot embankment, when the train was going about 25 miles an hour, much slower than its usual speed. Mr. Porter’was sleeping when the accident occured and was rudely awakened to find the car bottom side up, and he laying in the top of the oaf. He brawled out through a window. He was considerably bruised and jolted, and has a badly strained hip. Several persons on the train were not so fortunate and one of them has since died and two or three others are likely” to die. The conductor of the train was in the same car as Mr. Porter and he showed wonderful nerve and grit by holding the door of the red-hot overturned stove shut, until die fire in it fell to tire lower end, and could not get out. His hand and arm was terribly burned in the operation. AII summer goods at your own price at Economy Store Co.

The arguments in the Tnrpie-I-owe ense were not concluded, la-t week, being, like the evidence, of interminable length, and Messrs. Hammond and Thompson went over to Logansport again Monday, to jiarticipate in the closing scenes of tlie great legal battle. The arguments were conMuded Tuesday, but the judge will not render his decision until Nov. 4th. The cose involves a very large js.iim of money and the trial has been the longest of any ever taking place in this portion of the state. It was tried once before and decided against Mr. Lowe, and,was reversed by the "Supreme Court. ’ The attorneys engaged were, for the Turpies, J. P.

Earnhart, of Columbus, Ohio, E. B. Sellers, of Monticello, Ind., Judge Miller, of Peru, Ind., D. D. Dykeman. D. C. Justice aijd S. F. McConnell. of Logansport, Fur Mr. Lowe they were E. P. Hammond and S. P. Thompson, of Rensselaer, R. P. Davidson, of Lafayette, and John C. Nelson, of Logansport; Mr. Lowe’s court costs arc $2,000 if he wins the case and SI,OOO if he'loses, this including the attorneys’ fees> The amount involved is over SIOO,OOO. Chief Mountain Panther, well known here as lately a member of Dr. AEbite-Ulond’s “Cherokee Indian

Medicine Company,” last Friday came over from Wolcott, where a portion of the company’ is now located, with his heart full of wrath towards White Cloud. According to the great war chief’s statements the doctor was very remiss in paying the chief liis hard earned salary, and a positive demand for a settlement had resulted in a personal encounter, on Thursday. The chief had it in his mind to begin suit against the doctor, but he was surprised to find that the courts here haff no jurisdiction in Wolcott, which is in another county. The chief talked very’ freely and very bitterly in regard to AVhite Cloud and his business. Among other interesting statements he made was that himself- aud

the other noble red men with the company are not Cherokees at all, and never saw Indian Territory, but all came from Canada. He inti mated further that the so-called Cherokee medicines are not made in the Territory’ as claimed, and are not Indian medicines at all, but are compounded in Indianapolis; and lie left for that city Saturday to try’ to get a settlement at headquarters. The Steam wood saw was working up John Eger’ wood-pile, the other day, and it is related that when John, went home in the evening he found ? tliat' the sawed wood, instead of having been thrown over the fence into the yard, as he desired, was scattered in wild profusion up and down the street, as though a number 8 Dakota cyclone had been loose thereabouts. John was greatly riled, but in view of his lately joining the church, he was at a loss for an avenue of relief for his feelings. Just then the “Old Doctor” came along and John asked him to supply the cuss words appropriate to the occasioq. The doctor’s talents are remarkable in that line but after a survey of the woodpile he decided that he could not do the subject justice in the time then at his disposal and he would have to wait until he had a day off iind could devote his full attention to the BSP; ter. We hear tliat the doctor is finding the work of doing the swearing for the whole neighborhood quite a i turden, and that he attributes his present lameness to his over-exertions in that line. If he could only get George Morgan moved into the vicinity he would need never open bis lips except in benediction. George could cuss for a whole township and never turn a hair.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

Judge Ward arrived on the 4 p. m. train Monday, and proceeded to open court for the October term. All of the originol panel of the grand jury were excused, except Calvin Coppess and J. M. Shields. The places of the excused members were filled by IL W. Porter, Benj. Tuteur, J. T. Hemphill and Sylvester Healy. H. W. Porter is foreman. The case of the State vs. George Hartman, of charged with rape, was dismissed. The case against Daniel Tanner, assault and battery, was also dismissed, the defendant having been fined for the offense by a justice of the peace. Levi Mathews plead guilty to beTfig fffufik and was fined $1 and costs. The Remleys, charged with shooting Sim Dowell, tiled application for change of venue.
