At Lafayette W. Fred Pettit has. sued out a writ of habeas corpus, to secure his release on bail. The state is fighting the application aud as a result the evidence in the case, or a large part of it, is being presented. So far there has been considerable evidence to show that Pettit is an immoral and contemptible creature, but not much that is clearly criminating. General Robert C. Schenck died at his home in Washington, D. C., last Sunday atsernoon, at the advanced age of nearly 81 years. Twenty years ago he was one of the most.prominent and most influential of our public men, but, aside from that fact, his death has a strong local interest, from the fact that two of his near relatives

have long been highly esteemed residents of Rensselaer. We refer to the Misses Elizabeth and Julia Smith, whose pleasant residence is situated in Weston’s Grove, north of the railroad. They sustai nto the deceased General and statesman the double relationship of cousins and sister-in law, the general’s wife having been their sister. They were members of his family for many years and their relations have always been of the most affectionate character. The ladies left Monday, for Dayton, Ohio, to attend the funeral, which was held at that place, yesterday.

Ben Tuteur’s little tw o-year-old boy has been ailing a long time and no remedies seemed to reach the seat of his disease, the nature of which was something of a mystery. The problem was solved one day last week, however, when ocular evidence was presented that the little chap had a tape-worm. Information of the discovery was sent to Dr. J. H. Loughridge, who sent " back word to tell that tape-worm that he would be after it in an hour or two. The “Old Doctor” is sure death on tape-worms and if this fellow had had as much sense as Davy Crockett’s coon he would have got down off his perch, without further resistance, after the receipt of this message; but tape-worms are like Democratic officeholders and never let go until they have to. This fellow stayed as long as it could, but it wasn’t more than a day or two before the doctor had it securely packed in a bottle of alcohol, head and all. It was about 25 feet long.
