Although last week’s delinquent tax sale cleaned up everything that was delinquent and unpaid, it amounted to only $744. We doubt if within the memory of anyone, a tax sale in this county ever amounted to so small a sum. That taxes are paid up so closely in this county, speaks well for the general prosperity and providence of our people; and also for the careful and economical management of the affairs of the county, by, our present force of county officials. As compared with the tax sales of some neighboring counties, of comparatively equal wealth and population, the contrast in Jasper’s favor is very notable. In White county, for instance, the proceeds of the tax sale, last week, were $4,654, or more than six times the amount of Jasper county’s sale.

Our humorous and philosophic brother, Shanlaub, of the Morocco Courier, thinks the brutal and demoralizing practice of prize-fighting will very soon be suppressed, by law. An optimistic opinion that we would gladly share, but the prospects do not to us appear so prom sing. Our Morocco brother’s discourse on the subject is very readable. Here it is: It is pretty safe to predict that prize fighting will shortly be catalogued with the arts that have been lost strayed or stolen. Yea, the present indications are that the places which once echoed to the dull thud of the noble rib-smasher’s dukes will in a few brief mouths thud no more forever. Ever since the meeting in the valley of Elah, between ‘Kid’ David, of Bethlehem-Judah, and the champion heavy weight, Phil W. Goliath, of Gath, prize fighting has been viewed by all good people the world over with a big unblinking wall-eye of displeasure. The recent killing of two or three fighters in the ring, down South, has had a strong tendency to bring matters to a culminating point and the probabilities are that a law will shortly lie enacted making this country too unhealthy for prize fighters of every description. On account of Mardi Gras festival at New Orleans, round trip tickets will be sold from Rensselaer at $23.40. Tickets may be sold Feb. 18 to 24, good returning until March 20th. W. H. Beam.

Persons who are born on the 29th of February caq have a birthday anniversary only every fourth year, but the time is close at hand when they can have their anniversary only after a lapse or eight years. The next February with 29 days will be in 1896, and the next one to that, by the ordinary course of events, would be in 1900; but in order to keep the calendars in close conformity with the natural length of the year, as measured by the revolution of the earth around the sun, it has been agreed among civilized nations that the year 1900 shall not be a leap year, as was also the case with 1800, and there will consequently not be another 29th of February after 1896, until 1904. Twentyninth of February people had better get ready to make the most of their birthday in 1896. And also single ladies who appreciate the privileges of a leap year will do well to remember that leap years only come when their are 29 days in February, and that 1896 will be their last chance until the Twentieth Century is “goin en” four years old.

Bro. Bowser, of the Chesterton . Tribune, has started an agitation for the formation of a new cqunty, composed of the towrsiiips in Lake, Porter and LaPorte, which border on Lake Michigan. Such a new county would have its advantages for some of the people effected, certainly, but still our Chesterton contemporary Will find that any attempt to carve out a new county in any portion of Indiana is be&et with difficulties of , . . ■— ’ : '—= —; insuperable magnitude. “That thing can’t be did!” At least it can’t in this case, for the state constitution forbids the reduction of any county below 400 square miles, and although Lake and LaPorte could spare 100 and 140 miles, respectively, Porter has only 10 miles in excess of the minimum, and it can not therefore be divided and as Porter lies between the other two counties there is no way by which the surplus territory in them could be united in one county.,

The undersigned desires to announce to the people of Rensselaer and vicinity, that he has bought of J. E. Spitler, the general news, book, stationery and confectionery business, heretofore conducted by him; and that he will continue the same in the old location, opposite the court house. He asks for the continued patronage of all of Mr. Spitler’s old customers, and hopes also to add many new ones to that list. J. W. Huggins.

A Prof. Veno, who has been operating at Indianapolis for some time past, and is now at Lafayette for a short time, has been making many cures of a certain class of diseases, as remarkable as any recorded of the so-called faith-healers. He gives public exhibitions in opera houses, &c., and people are carried upon the stage who have been unable to walk, for years, and in a short time, less than an hour, usually, they are walking about the stage, without any assistance. A specimen of his cures, the case of Mrs. Job Sims, wife of the present township trustee of Fairfield township, in which Lafayette is situated, may be mentioned. According to the Lafayette Sunday tyuohosh, she entered the hall last Saturday evening, on two crutches, and in an hour was able to walkabout, without any help. Ex-Mayor McGinley, of

Lafayette, testified that the lady had been terribly afflicted with rheumali'sm for2oyears. This Veno applies some sort of remedy, but we believe the real source of his cures is by virtue of that same hypnotic or physic force, which we regard as the true source of all modern so-called miraculous cures of diseases.

Jimmy Otis, the sole and only occupant of the Jasper county jail, had an all day’s reception, last Saturday, his visitors being a large delegation, of friends and relatives from the northern portions of Jasper and Newton counties. Jimmy, according to the story, told with a good deal of circumstantiality, went by night with one Peterson to one of the big ranches in northern Newton, and together they caught and killed a big fat hog, and were just loading it into the sled when the overseer of the ranch, heard their racket and came and caught them in the act. They threw the porker in the sled? and drove swiftly away, but the overseer got help, and followed them on norsebaok, and captured them. As Newton Co. has no good jail, Peterson was sent to Benton Co., and Otis to this, for safe keeping. Otis is a mere boy, and one who has heretofore bad a good reputation, and is anything but a criminal in appearance and deportment He claims to have been filled up with liquor, by Peterson, and by him over-persuaded to engage in the pork pirating project Peterson is said to be a hard citizen on general principles, and is reputed to have already done time in the penitentiary.

In No Hurry to Try Him.

Kokomo Tribune: At the final call of the circuit court docket this afternoon the case against ex-Gov-ernor Chase was passed again withouti action. A great injustice is done Mr. Chase in this. The indictment is now two years old and the accused has never had an opportunity to clear his name of the suspicion the charge has brought. He never asked for delay or continuance of the case. In each and every instance the postponement has been without his seeking. If the state ever intends to try him it should have done so long since, or dismissed the case, and not require the gentleman accused to bear continually the suspicion and humiliation implied in such a charge. . v

The New Lodge at Remington.

A party of 15 members of Evening Star Chapter, O. E. S., went over to Remington, last Friday night to institute a new chapter of the Eastern Star. They went under the able and experienced leadeiship of Chas. G. Spitler, the special deputy. They instituted a chapter of 30 members, under the name of Remington chapter.
