From Remington.

As Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon are about to leave this county for a larger farm in Benton county, a number of neighbors and friends gave them a very pleasant surprise I party on Tuesday evening of last i week. The party, which was a ! very merry one, numbered ab Hit 60 persons. They went with basIkets well filled with substantials and luxuries, and of course had a royal supper. They left bahind them a beatftiful hanging lamp as la slight token of their esteem and good will. The good wishes of all who know them will go with Mr ■Kenyon and his excellent family, i The people of this place will bo able to keep cool next summer, ns ■ 8 car loads of ice of very superior quality have been received here.. In addition to this, ice is being taken from the creek and stored in the different ice houses in the place. i The meetings in the M. E. church still continue. Much quiet I interest is manifested and five pop-: sons have been added to the i church. Rev. Foster of the Presbyterian ■ church, arrived last Saturday, and; held services on Sunday. He with ! his wife and four young children,' will occupy the property lately purchased of George Myers, for a parsonage. Rev. Pardee, of Monticello, occupied the pulpit of the Christian .church last Sunday, morning and t evening. The sandstone railroad is complete as far as the Good lan I road, and work is being pushed ahead rapidly, notwithstanding th e. inclement weather of the early part of the week. Our public highways ware in very good condition till the storm of Monday came on. The sn >w and rain made them a little heav y still they were much batter tha n they have been at any time duriu g the winter, Isaac Lucky is preparing t » build on lots recently purchased of Robert Parker, near the old gas well. H. H. Walker, an old soldier, good citizen aud a gold mi l gen.--. erally, has been appointed P. M., vice \V. F. Bunnell, tin presen t incumbent, who resigned to accept a position in the government printing office. The other applicants ■for the office were good men and capable of transacting the business, but Mr. Walker had a prior claim. Mrs. Morehead is still a terrible sufferer and it is feared she will not long survive. i Comrades C. P. Hopkius ami E. 18. V.mdersmith are attending ■. |re-um >u of the‘'boys in blue” at ilndianapolis, this week. ; Gamaliel Garrison entertained a number of his young |friends last Wednesday evening, i It'was a time of thorough social lenjoyment only dampened by the I thought that nearly all the ladies of the party forgot to wear their I diamonds, and it was also a noticeable fact that not one of them was attired in old rose velvet or satin. A party of young and mighty iNimrods went to Blue Sea, last week, to enjoy the pleasures of the ■ chase. They were absent five days and the only visible game they ■ brought back with them was a : large raccoon, which was fastened ' to a tall pole and carried in an up- . right position through the streets ias a trophy. The party consisted of Ed. Peck, will Locke, Wifi Hartman, Jesse Allman, George Hascall, Bert Spencer and Charles Peffley. It is perhaps superfluous to say that they had a jolly tim e and good fare, as they did their own cooking; Ed. Peck making the pies and Bert Spencer the biscuits. The four horses brought to this place from France by Bobt Shearer are said to be very fine animals. Remingtonian.
