Crown Point Register: From information we can gather Crown Point’s deep holejn_the ground will remain as it is. The gentleman who was going to sink it down another 1,000 feet has failed to materialize up to the present time, and no doubt took this method of gaining some extra newspaper notoriety. There is one thing certain, they can’t rob Crown Point of the deepest hole in the state, and we can keep it as a relic of by-gone days.

Unless the results at the Rensselaer creamery prove contrary to all similar expedience, the busmesgbf supplying milk to it will be by far, the most profitable business our farmers, can engage in. This being the case, the farmers around here, should, generally speaking, go into the business at once, and on a good scale, and it is none too early for them to begin preparing for it. And still the successful career of the Rensselaer Stock Earm horses meets with no let or hindrance. At Peru last week Leo was second in the free-for-all, Pinkamink first in the 2 year-old race, getting a record of 2:44, Lancewood was first in the 2:35 trot, lowering his record to 2:31U

Stimpson, a section hand on the Monon, last Thursday evening. He was helping to propel the hand-car, and was riding backward, when the handle broke and he fell backwards on the track, and the hand-car and another following close after, passed over him. His principal injury is a broken femur or thigh bone, broken in two places—a severe but not dangerous mjury. Dr. J. H. Loughridge, surgeon of the company, was called and gave the necessary surgical attention. He was boarding with Mrs. L. C. Graht, and was taken there after his injury.

The Town Board held a special meeting Mondry night to receive sealed bids for constructing the tile drain on Cornelia street, and for the stone culvert over Makemself ditch, on Main. No satisfactory bids were, received and the Board has re-adver - tised the lettings, the blds to be received at their regular - October meeting. The Board also ordered the clerk to draw up an ordinance requiring gasoline kept for sale to be four feet under ground and 40 feet from any building. The last annual re-union and ban - qUet of the G. A. R posts and old soldiers of Remington and Rensselaer, held Saturday evening at the Nowels house, was the most successful of the series. The soldiers, with " their families from Remington and vicinity ; • came over, to the number of about 100. A splendid supper had been prepared by the ladies of the Rensselaer Relief Corps, and others, and nearly three hundred persons, all told, partook of the banquet. The Remington visitors were accommodated at the first table. Judge Hammond welcomed them with a verylnteresting address, which was well respond--ed to by Dr. H. Landon. The liter-

ary program, after supper was considerably curtailed by the lateness of hour. What was given consisted of an address by Rev. Cook, songs, recitations <fcc. At the joint meeting of the com - missioners and auditors of Jasper and Porter counties, on the Kankakee river, last Thursday, Henry Rankin ? of Porter Co., was appointed to survey the site of the proposed bridge and make plans and specifications, with estimate of the probable cost of the bridge. He was requested to report within 30 days, if possible. Surveyor Thrawls was appointed by the Jasper Co. commissioners to sur vey the route for the approaches to the bridge from this side of the river, and to report what grading &c would be necessary, with estimate of probable cost. There seems to be a pretty strong necessity for another bridge across the Kankakee river, but there is a diversity of opinion as to whether the site proposed in this instance is the best place for it. Another place two miles further west, and, as the-river bends, about as much further south, is strongly advocated by some. It would then cross the river exactly on the line between Porter and Lake counties and thus three counties would share the expense of its construction instead of two, as in the other case.

Further, the cost of grading in the Jasper county side would be very mucETess: aS of grade pike would be needed, while in the other place the grade would be nearly two miles. It is also said that the bridge in the western location would accommodate everybody, except a few owners of large ranches, as well as the more eastern location . This is a matter that should be well investigated before the new bridge is ordered built
