REMINGTON ITEMS.

Mrs. Grant Warner and son Rex, of Rensselaer, are the guests of Mrs. P, H. Lally. Mrs. E. E. Yeoman and daughter Bessie left for their home in Missouri, on Wednesday of this week. By the upsetting of a load of hay last Saturday, Everett Parks was badly bruised and shaken up. His injuries though painful were not at all serious. While bringing a load of beef to town, Mr. Cheek was badly bruised and one of his ankles- sprained by the overturning of his meat wagon. The horse became frightened by the close proximity of a R. R. train, with the result above stated. Mr. Cheek was disabled for a few days, but is now able to attend to business. The Autumnal Festival given by the Remington Schools was very pleasant and instructive, the decorations and the music being especially adapted to the occasion. All the rooms took part in the exercises and all acquitted themselves wiih credit, as reported by numerous visitors. Messrs Edward and George Cumin ons received a telegram on Monday morning announcing the serious sickness of their mother, at her home near the city of Philadelphia. In about another hour another telegram brought the intelligence of her death. The brothers left on the noon train to attend the funeral.

Mr. Samuel Huggins met with a painful accident last Saturday, while on the way to his farm, with a load of tile. He had placed the spring seat on top of the load and a little obstruction caused the seat to slip throwing Mr. Huggins violently to the ground. He suffered two or three severe cuts on the left cheek, which were sewed up by Dr. Patton and the sufferer is now doing well, The accident occurred near the residence of Mr. Charles Austin, who acted the part of the good Samaritan by Mr. Huggins, dressing his wounds and bringing him to town. The excellent parents of that worthy young man, Daniel Biddle, planned and carried out a pleasant surprise for him last Saturday, the oocasion being his twenty-first birthday. The members of the graduating class of last year, of which Mr. Biddle was also a member, with a few other friends from town, and all the young people of the neighborhood were invited to be present. The young man was completely and entirely taken by surprise, and it is needless to say the occasion was a pleasant one. Music, conversation and a most bountiful supper wete the features of the evening. At a late hour the guests departed with many good wishes for the young man who had attained his majority under such happy auspices.
