—Did yon see the legless calf 7 —lce cream and lemonade is in demand, and this October. \ —The Indianapolis trotter was withdrawn from the race yesterday after the first heat and died during the evening, being overheat. —Thk Standard furnishes you newa intelligence, local and general, moral and political, for the health and better culture of the miod. W. J. Imes furnishes yon s remedy that pats the physical mao ia condition to enjoy and appreciate good. ‘‘Sound body, sonnd mind.” 1 This is obtained by the use of Liebig’s Ague Cure, in liquid or pills, and never fails to cure and keep cured any kind of ague or chills. 16-2 t. —A man will spend an hour hunting up a board and painting an advertisement on it to be nailed up where perhaps 200 different persons will see it in the coarse of seven days, when at a cost of twenty-five cents he could put the same announcement in a newspaper, where it would roach 8,000 different readers within three days after the newspaper is printed. That’s the difference between old-fogyism and enterprise.—[Ex. —The operatic entertainment given in Starr’s Hall, Thursday evening, by our home talent, was quite liberally patronized, and, considering the brief time tie performers had in which to perfect themselves in the different parts assigned them, they all acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. Every pieoe was rendered in good style, and well received by the audience, as was attested by the frequent bursts of applause. The gross receipts of the entertainment amounted to about $44.

—Mr. Edward Brown, the popular clothier of Delphi, was in town Thursday. Mr. Brown called at Thk Standard office and left his measure for a mammoth advertisement which appears elsewhere in these columns. It might be well for our readers to take a glance at it, especially the list of prices of new goods he is now offering to the public. While in town he took several orders for suits for different parties ( and the indications are that he will soon work up a good trade at this plaoe. The Remington Reporter alludes to Jasper county in the following sensible way: "In Jasper county there are good law-abiding people, good schools, good markets, fuir public improvements, taxes are low, land cheap, jn fact there is no better place for a man with a limited amount of means, that desires to rent or purchase a farm, than here in Jasper county. Those desiring to buy or trade for a farm will do well to take a look over the county and see for themselves its advantages, —The eighth annual fair of the Jasper County Agricultural Society is pronounced a grand success. Every department is beu ter represented than at any previous exhibition. The entrance fees amount to something over $450, uearly double the amount received from the same source lsst year. The display of swine is said to be almost as good as that of the State Fair, and tbe general display of stock is fully equal to any usually Been at county fairs. Fleral Hall is not as full as might be, however the display is "very creditable. The attendance Thursday and yesterday was very gratifying to the society, and to-day being the last day, and the programme equally as interesting as any previous day, there will undoubtedly be a large turnout.

—At the solicitation of a number of the poultry fanciers of Jasper eounty, the proprietor of this paper has consented to devote a column each week to their interests, hoping that it may prove interesting to every reader, and it certainly is a matter in which nearly every person in the county is interested, directly or indirectly. The column will b» edited and controlled by Mr. Chas. W. Clifton, a gentleman of experience in the raising of fine fowl*, Laving made that a part of his business for a number of years. He has also the ability to make this department of Thb Standard equally as interesting to its readers as any other department, and we feel confident that the arrangement cannot be otherwise than beneficial to them. All communications or matters, intended for publication in the poultry column should be addressed to him.

—The concert given by the Hurtt family in Starr’s Hall, Tuesday evening, was indeed a rare treat to the inhabitants of our comparatively isolated town. The inclemency of the weather prevented as foil an attendance as there would have been had the evening been more propitious, however there was a fair sized audiehoe present, and all seemed delighted with the entertainment. The little juveniles are certainly marvels in their way, being possessed of natural musical talent and capable of rendering difficult pieces with perfect ease and. harm ony. The duet, entitled ‘‘Beet Old Man Alive” by Little Pearl and Zeddiq, was alone worth the price of admission. Among ’otherpieces worthy of special mention were tbe "Song of the Whipporwill,’’ "Song of the Robin,’ * "The Werld is Moving on,” and "Only be True.” Altogether it was an entertainment of real genuine worth and one which merits the highest praise that can be bestowed upon it by the press and public. We feel safe in saying that if the little ones ever visit Rensselaer again they will be greeted with a’ full' hownr.*
