LOCAL MATTERS.

Thursday, November 18. 1869.

Mr. Jaure* Malay lias our thanks for a n«oe mess of fish. Good peachblow potatoes arc worth 36 cent# a bushel. •Cranberries are offered at #5 per bushel or 15 cents a quart. Will those of our subscribers who were to pay for the paper in wood be so kind as to bring us some. • tiood winter apples were selling on our streets this week for 65 cents per bushel. There are plenty of wild geese and ducks along the Iroquois, and our “shootists” are having a good time shooting them. Tho Rev. Wm. Venible will preach in the Presbyterian Church on next Sabbath at ten and a half o’clock, A. M. Tho boys who fish for pike are having goqd luck. On Tuesday evening a party of three took out about fifty good sized pike with hooks and lines. The Society of Progressive Spiritualists meet on Sunday, Nov. 21st, at Willey’s Hall. Subject: In reference to religious principles, “Whatever is, is right.” The public are invited.

Married _ At the residence of the bride’s father, in Hanging Grove Tp., on the 17th :ust., by Elder D. T. Halstead, Mr. Henry 11. Watson and Mary H. Shortridge. The happy couple have our thanks for a supply of cuke.

The Society of Progressive Spiritualists have rented the ball over 'Willey A Sigler’s store, placed in it air dozen chairs, pnrehased a 9125 organ a»d fitted the hall up iu good style as a meeting place— Oh as. p. Hopkins has charge of the organ, which wi'l assure the Society good music and make it a pleasure to attend their meetings- - «-■ • One of the heaviest spells of Wfeather of the season took us the fore part of this week. On Monday night it snowed about two inches, on Tuesday it rained all day, and on Tuesday night a heavy show storm came up, accompanied with a terrible wind, that drifted the snow badly. Since the storm commenced about four inches of snow has fallen tip to this date. Attention is called to the prospectus of the Indianapolis Daily and Weekly Journal. The Journal is recognized as the organ of the Republican party of the State, and should he in the hands of allTtepublicans. The campaign of next year will be one of the most hotly eontested that wo have had in this State for j-ears, and those who have any desire to keep themselves posted iu the political affairs of the State, should subscribe for it at once. «-*«».* On Tuesday last three men were in town looking lor a young gentleman who had stolen about one hundred and twenty-five dollars from some section hands at Goodland.— Tho young man had been in town on Monday evening when he had the barber shave off his whiskers. He askod particularly the road to Heaver Lake, saying that he had relatives living there. As his pursuers were only twelve hours behind him, it is to he hoped that thoy have arrested him before this. Mrs. Mary Welch, living on the Chicago road, one mile west of Rensselaer, wilPmake a public sale on Tuesday, the 23d inst. She gives nine months credit. The property consists of eight head of cattle, two horses, four hogs, ten aores of wheat and rye, fifty or sixty bushels of potatoes, eight tons of tame and wild hay, a large rick of straw, two-horse wagon, set of double harness, farm implements, furniture, etc. “ff. Sylvan,” of Rensselaer, correspondent of the Kentland Gazette, is writing a series of articles to that paper, headed “Spiritualism.” Judging from the first article, Spiritualism would pease to exist iu a short time, under tho powerful blows «of the correspondent, but unfortunately, ho fails to hit them, as but few, if any of the Spiritualists ’of ‘•this place take the Kentland Gazette, and the good that he might otherwise accomplish, is prevented by his hiding bis light under a bushel —so far as the Spiritualists of this place are .concerned, >vV v Tho abutments for the new iron bridge, across .the Iroquois above town, will be ready for the iron in throe days,

S trayed.
