The Otis Ranch, in Ksswk tp. lias been sold to Chicago parties, for $30,000. This is said to be, by parties who have opportunities to know, to be the actual price paid, although there are only 1000 acres in the ranch.

The marriage of Mr. Will Mossier and Miss Rachel Leopold was celebrated with unexampled splendor, at the Newels House, last evening.

D r. work on another tape-worm, last Sunday. The subject was al2 year old son of John Wolf, of Milroy tp. The worm was an old settler in the township and had been with the boy a long time, growing with his growth, and not stopping even when the boy didn’t grow. It did not stay long on the order of its going when the Old Doctor got after it, though. J. C. Watson, who lives a little : east of town, had a terrifying experience, while walking to town last i Thursday afternoon, and was probably nearer his death than lie ever will be again until he meets it. He I was coming up the railroad and , was not only absorbed in thought but was also walking in the face of a tremendous wind, which made it almost impossible to hear any sound from behind him. It was about the time for the 4 p. m., jiassenger train, from the south, but of that fact he was oblivious, when suddenly, only a few feet more than the length of a railroad rail bekiuri him, he heard the nhsals of the locomotive strike the joints between two rails, and at the same instant, the whistle of the engine sounded. Mr. Watson is a ‘ powerful and agile man, and all hit strength and agility was concentrated in one mighty leap to the side of the track, and he cleared it just as j the locomotive whisked by him. He was entirely unhurt but, naturally enough; it was some time before his sen es resumed their wonted state ol quietude.

Mr. Miller, the oil well manager, has lately been meeting with good success in securing leases for the proposed boring at Pleasant Ridge, and the boring will probably soon be underway. It seems rather strange that so many farmers should be reluctant to give these leases. They have everything to gain and nothing to risk by the borings. It looks as though the Detroit, Indiana & St. Louis, Railway Company, usually known as the Gold Spike, and same mention of which has appeared in these columns, really meant business. Elections are being held, in townships along the' proposed route* to grant all to the company, two of these to be in Fnlton conn ty, next Tuesday. The contract for building the road, or a portion of it, has been let to Geo. H. Tenney, of Boston, Mass., who says that as soon as the towiphips vote the aid, the construction of the road will be pushed for all there is in it. The line as located is from Kendallville to Rochester. Eastward from Kendallvillc it goes to Fayette, Ohio. From Rochester,: westward, to either Danville or Glllman, in Illinois. If the latter route is decided on, the road will naturally, pass through Rensselaer.
