From Remington.

The death of Mr. Horace Blood, whose illness was mentioned in the items of last week, occurred on Friday afternoon last, about Jti nt* Tho 'Fi'inPtTfil tr»nlc LVti t tz vlvvli. jtTtrt? i ttritst tsi tvvK place from the Christian church Sunday afternoon, at two o’clock, Dr. Rodman officiating. The attendance was very large. Quite a number of our fellowcitizens have been visiting in Rensselaer lately, by special invitation from Sheriff Blue. They were interviewed by the grand juryC. P. Hopkins, of the Remington News, returned from his south-

ern trip last Friday, bringing with him his niece, Miss Grace Hopkins, of Waverly, Tenn., who will probably remain during the winter. Mrs. Johnson and her two daughters, ot Keokuk, Ibwa, have been visiting the family of her sister, Mrs. O. M. Vickery, for the past few weeks. Minerva May, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Harris, died on Sunday last after a short but painful illness. The remains were taken to the Welch cemetery for interment, after brief but„_appropriate exercises at the home of the family. . There were no services in any of the churches last Sunday, excepting the funeral of Mr. Blood. Verily, we need a missionary to labor among us. However, the pulpit of the M. E. Church will hereafter be occupied by Rev. J. T. Greenway, of Brooke, a young man who comes highly recommended. School will probably begin next

Monday, as the building is nearly completed. The furnaces have been put in and are found to work admirably. Mr. Spangler, the principal, has had a great temptation placed before him in the shape of an offer from the Sheldon school board, of thirty dollars more per month than he contracted for in Remington. We understand that if an acceptable substitute can be secured, the school board will release Mr. Spangler. Mr. Will Shepherd and family took possession on Monday last of their new quarters in the Wright Williams property, lately vacated by Dr. Walker. Mr. Emery and his sister will take possession of the premises hertofore occupied by Mr. Shepherd, and Mr. Henry Wolcott will move into the house on Ohio Street lately vacated by Mr. Grilling. Mr. Wood, of Kankakee, 111., is visiting the family of Mr. W. R. Love. We omitted to mention at the proper time that Mrs. J. W. Powell had made a short visit in Remington, prior to her departure for Washington. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Powell and their interesting family will wish them abundant happiness and success. A letter from Mrs. Wm. Rowe, formerly Miss Lizzie Broadie, to friends in this place, informs them that she reached Fargo, S. D., safely on Monday evening of last week, v, here she was met by Mr. Bowe. After the wedding ceremony they proceeded to their home in a town whose name is not known to your correspondent. Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Traugh, O. W.

Moore and other southern tourists returned lest week, all well pleased with the trip. An extra stock train on Monday took away 500 head of cattle from this place and Wolcett. They were taken to Madison, Ind. An alarm of fire was given about one o’clock Tuesday morning, the fire originating in the back part of the building formerly occupied by Peter Ochs as a store and dwelling house, more lately occupied by A. Driefus, the junk dealer. Before the flames could be subdued the frame building on the corner used as a billiard room, the saloon belonging to Dltizak, the Lecklider building and the old Babb house were in ashes. By almost super-human exertion the file was fought away from the Heileg building and its further progress arrested. Never did men fight a fire more valiantly than our brave men of the fire department aided nobly by the citizens, especially the young men. Four families are burned out of house and home at the beginning of win>ter, with little or no insurance l on their property. At this writI ing it is thought to be a case of incendiarism. The families burned out are those of Smith Payne, Robert Lecklider, Edward Royalty and Jerome Harmon. There was an insurance of SSOO on the Babb House, owned by E. Hart and the goods of Heileg’s were , covered by insurance, the rest was a total loss. Remingtonian. For a nice box of note paper go to Long <fc Eger’s.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

Court adjourned Friday until Monday. V ~ Chas. A. Brandenburgh, the who stole Frank Mulholland’s silk tile, was indicted by the grand jury, for both offenses. He plead guilty to the hat charge and was sentenced to thirty days in jail. The case on the revolver is continued to the next term. The grand jury did hot find any bill against John Smith, the cranky tramp charged with stabbing the lame boy, Jimmy Akers, and he was discharged from custody. The boy was taken before the grand jury, but was unable to identify Smith as his assailant

Samuel Remley and his two sons, the men who assaulted and shot Sim Dowell, were granted a change of venue to White county. Their affidavits declared they could not have a fair trial in this county, on account of prejudice against them among the people of Barkley, Gillam and Marion townships. Clarissa J. Thornton was granted a divorce from Christopher 0. Thornton, on the grounds of drunkenness and cruel treatment The plaintiff is in the service of A. Sparling. The defendant lives in Kentland, and by all accounts is a worthless sot The grand jury is still in sessionand has, so far, returned only the two indictments against Bradenbnrgh. The case of E. C. Weeks vs. Wm. H. Gostelin, from Lake county, on change of venue, is now on trial before a jury. It is an important case and has to occuied considerable time.

OBITUARY.

HORACE BLOOD. ', Horace Blood was bom in Putney, Windham Co. Vermont, December 21st, 1804, and died at the home of his son-in-law, Geb. Griffin, in Remington, lnd<, Oct. 25th 1889, at the age of 84 years, 10 months and 4 days, He was married to Nancy Fairbanks in Fovember 1831. and to them were born twelve children ; eight of whom are still living. His youth and early manhood were spent at the home of his birth. His ehanees for education were confined to the countiy schools of that time, four months in the year; but he acquired a fair education and was ever a man of broad and liberal views; interested in all that pertained to the general good. He was connected with the schools, as one of the officials, for many years and in all the works of public enterprise was a worker in the front ranks. About the year 1835 he removed to western New York, near the present city of Buffalo, which at that time was but a small town. At the time of the threatened attack upon Buffalo, in the winter of 1837 and 8, knowii riot War,” he was a member of a

volunteer company which went to. the defence ot that town. He had been a member of the state militia when in Vermont. In politics he was a whig until the demise of that party and after wards an ardent Republican. He was always actively engaged in politicsduthe ycurs of his strength, and in his old age as deeply interested as in his youth, never being absent from the polls at election time. During the thrilling times of the late civil war he was debarred from service by reason of age, but he sent three of his four sons, though one was but 17 at the time of enlistment. In 1869 he visited his daughters in Remington apd in the following spring removed there, together with one son and two daughters, who yet reside there; His married life extended over a period of more than 53 years. He and his wife were born on adjoining farms; attended the same school; were familiar friends and associates from their babyhood, until they formed that closer union which bound tnem together until death parted them Jan. 3rd 1885. Since that parting he has never been contented, and has seemed to feel a sense of loss and loneliness. His mind remained clear until the end of life; his memory being something remarkable. He remembered the events of the present as clearly as those of the past,

and was a storehouse of information in regard to things past as well as present He remembered the age of every old persotf’in this vicinity and of many would tell the date of their birth—day and month as well as year. He was a Bible student of no mean order, and in his later years few were as apt at quotations or application. Though not a professor of religion, in the common acceptance of the term, he was always a .regular attendant at church and a liberal supporter of the gospel. Faith was not wanting and in his dying hours so long as voice was left him, found solace in the lines, “In my hand no price I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling.” Four sons and four daughters, together with twenty-six grand children and four great-grand-children, though scattered from the Atlantic nearly to the Rocky mountains, mourn the loss of the kindest and most indulgent of parents and grand-parents.
