General Manager Black, of the ■ Monon has received a telegram from I President Thpmas advising him that there is to be no change in the operation or policy of the road under his management, and instructing him to communicate this fact to connecting lines. The tenor of the dispatch indicates that General Manager Black and all the ©ther officers of the road are to be retained in their present positions, and that no further changes will follow those made in New York. Mrs. Lecklider has received her new and large stock of Spring Millinery, and invites the ladies’ inspection of the same. Her accomplished trimmer has also arrived, and is ready to do all work in her line. In the long list of theatrical companies that have gone to pieces in Rensselaer, during the last half dozen years, none of them made a more complete and splendid wreck tbaff the Helen Mignon Company, which exhibited here on Monday night of last week, and again on Saturday night. It was a large and ambitious company, with many good actors, and evidently organized with the expectation of illumining a broad space in the theatrical firmament. Their two performances here were well patronized, for the size of the town, but their two nights in Lafayette were disastrous failures, and their surplus of receipts here did not nearly cover their losses in Lafayette. They remained here until Monday and then broke up, entirely, the leading lady, manager, and seven or eight others leaving that day, for Chicago. Eight members were still left here, flat broke, 5 men and 3 women. Being well behaved people, and t 6 all appearances, well deserved, their bad fix created much sympathy among our people, and on Tuesday enough money was “chipped in” to take them all to Chicago, where they went accordingly. The manager and financial backers of the company are severely, { and not undeservedly, bl* med for the maimer in, which they deserted their company? when misfortune overtook them.

Bulletin No. 34, of Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station, contains much valuable informtion on the now very interesting subject of sugar beet culture, and also'the statement that the seeds are to be had there, for experimenting in their culture. We earnestly advise all our readers at all interesting in sugar beets to send for this number of the Bulletin, addressing C. S. Plumb, vice director, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind. And while they are writing they would do well to ask to have * all numbers of the Bulletin mailed to them, as it contains a vast amount of valuable agricultural information, and is furnished without cost. In fact, we advise every progressive farmer in the county to send in a request for a regular supply pt the Bulletin.
