The town of Remington has made a cem us of its population and finds it has 1,125 bona fide residents, 520 males and 605 females. The census of 1890 gave Remington 940 people; the increase in five years being therefore 185. The Press says the figures this time were a good deal of a disappointment, as it was generally supposed the increase had been larger. Still the town is having a good, healthy growth, and it is the natural state of man, in growing towns, to be disappointed when the census is taken. The increase is never found to be as large as most people thought it would be. Rensselaer people can testify to the truth of this statement, for a good many of them looked for a considerably larger population than the count just completed shows—though they had no good reason for so doing. J. N. Biker, of Barkley tp, met with a severe accident on Tuesday evening of last week and very narrowly escaped a terrible death. He was working a Circular saw and by some means his clothing caught in the belt, and he was drawn with his body upon the saw. Parties working with him threw the belt off, and so saved his life. As it was he received a cut about 12 inches long, extending up and down the right side of the chest. The cut did not quite cut through the walls of the abdomen but Dr. Alter, his physician, says that a quarter inch deeper would have done to, in which case death must have certainly resulted. He is doing well at present and prcspects for a speedy and complete recovery are excellent.
