LOCAL MATTERS.

Thursday i March'33, 1671.

The Jasper Circuit* 1 Court convenes next week. r ® ]};icon Jis hcld'at 11 cents per pound by our dealers. Youtuj onions in tl>o market. A live cent-er for a breath scenter. A\’me! raw and disagreeable, this morning. It blows from the north. 1 Tlio Rensselaer yamin and his sister “scoot” [around’ town barefoot. Ileal Partigas—the genuino Cuban Parti gas-—only fifteen cents each—at Frank Purcupile’s. The horse market is pretty lively now. We have heard of several sales this week at good prices. It is ascertained that nearly all of the fruit buds of the poach trees in J asper county are winter killed Eggs arc a drug in this market at 8j cents a dozen —a price that scarcely pays for the wear and tear of production. Hon. J. 11. Platt, M. C., has our thanks lor report of the Senate committee appointed to investigate alleged outrages in the Southern States.

Professor C. W. Pool desires us to announce that he will open a spring term of School in tlio Rensselaer School House, on Monday, April 17 th, proximo. Col. E. P. Hammond has our thanks for a copy of the Nebraska Stale Sentinel, containing tlio articles ot impeachment against David Butler, governor of that State. The'damp and variable weather ■of the past ten days has been very aggravating to persons predisposed to bronchial diseases. Nearly eW cry-body is coughing and many are nearly sick. We beard it remarked this week that it would be a real accommodation to many people if the court room was converted into a billiard saloon; for the reason that they would then not have to travel so (nr to find county officers.

Ooronor Norman Warner felt provoked to strike Andrew SatchidPs bead with his list, Tuesday afternoon, from which cause Satchel 1 was knocked down and Warner had the third and fourth metacarpal bones of his right hand displaced. Our friend S. P. Thomason, Esq., desires us to 6ay “to all whom it may concern” that tho rumor to the effect that he is an aspirant for the position of county School Examiner, as published in our last issue, “has no truthful foundation” as ho verily and firmly believes. I. M. Stackhouse, Esq., Secretary of the Ft. Wayne <& Pacific Pailroad company, went to Rochester Tuesday in obedience to a telegram requesting him to meet Col. Merritt, of the Central Construction company, .and confer in relation to business connected with tho Ft. W. &P. enterprise. When he returns wo shall lay beforo our readers all that ho may have of public interest concerning the prospect of the project, that it is proper to publish.

It don’t feel very good when you arc scaling a fine salmon that you found in the morning hanging on your door knob, to run ono of the spines of its dorsal lin into your thumb clear to the bone and then to cut away at it with a dull knife for half an hour and not get it all out.' The sensation isn’t at all salubrious that is produced by a pair of blacksmith’s tongs run into the wound for a probe. But salmon arc very good eating this year—so it is said by those who catch them with hodk and line. Last Sunday afternoon an impecunious slight-of-hand showman, who styles himself “Prof. T. W. Pratt, the Monarch Magician, recently of the London Academy of Music,” etc.', etc., and who had performed to slim audiences at this place two nights of last week, cut on his hotel bill and peeled out “solitary and alone.” But Father Dunlap had his eye on him and before his form had faded away in the dim hazy distance, Sheriff Yeointfn gave chase and soon overhauled the mystical gentleman and compelled him to liquidate. After the performance of this .pleasing ceremony the beardless youth was permitted to journey onward toward the rising sun, happy in the possession of two 10-cont stamps Mid a fertile brain.

S. Haley luys moved his boot and shoo shop to Leopold's slono'bnilding (up stairs) where lie will be hnppy'to give his old customers fits and all the new ones that need it. Haley has working with hint Gibson, who is a first class workman, and if be and Haley don’t make any of you boots and shoes that fit it is because your feet are so drawn out of shape with wearing improperly made boots, that nothing would fit them but an old worn out overshoe. Remember the place, up stairs, over Leopold’s store in the Stone building.

Comes now Frank Purcupile, who being duly qualified in manner and form prescribed, deposeth and saycth that lie is the identical, original and only genuino Frank Purciipile, by profession a dealer in tobacco, cigars and notions; that his .place ot business is in the Liberal Corner building, on Washington street, in the town of Rensselaer, county of Jasper and State of Indiana, one door below Stackhouse’s hardware and agricultural store; that he has just received a fresh lot of elegant candies, nuts, figs, raisins, great whopping oysters, new maple sugar, lresh and pure, 2,000 boxes of paper collars, every hundredth box containing a valuable prize, a splendid assortment of tobacco—plug, fine cut, short 3 and smoking, the best cigars ever brought into the county, etc., etc., etc. Don’t fail to call and see this superb stock. Remember the place when you come to town —sign of the Indian Chief—j. W. Coats’ old stand. - -

A week or so since, as wc were quietly working at our case, a sound resembling the low mnttcrings of distant, storm-presaging thunder was hoard at the front door. The door swung open on its hinges without iv knock, gently, gradually, without a jar, and in marched an individual whoso countenance depicted distorted auger. An item had been published that had foully wronged him and lie had come to take vengeance. Already had several printing offices been meted out retribution at the hands of this avenging Mercury. He camo but to conquer and our late was sealed, our time bad sped around. A moment —three measured strides —and the wrathful wronged stood before us with angered brow, holding a copy of the Union in his hand.— Glaring fiercely, he savagely asked if we was the oditor. We felt that we were in for itqind the back door was closed. We squared ourself for the stormburst and meekly told him that he had hinted at our profession. He looked at ns scrutin-

izingly, photographed our fine physical development., comprehended the extent of our muscle, placed his right index on the article and hesitatingly inquired il’ we was responsible for it. Wo braced our feet more firmly to receive the anticipated shock and replied that we thought we was. Again his optics scanned us from head to foot and reversed the operation, llis eye again met ours and faltered, llis spirit was quailed. Poor fellow ! A meek and pious look usurped the throne where nlartial Iro had reigned, lie sighed. His thought agreed with ours. In his opinion wo was responsible. His manly head bowed with grief. His curling locks shook with contending emotions. Sorrowfully he turned about. Carefully aud politely he left our presence. He had made a discovery in animated nature. He had found an editor sufficiently large to be responsible lor what he published. It was enough, llis curiosity was sated. Ho staid uot, neither did ho tarry.

Remington Letter.

Ekmanuton, In I)., 9 March 18th, 1871. Edi tons TJni^n: —The Council meeting last night was attended by no leas than fourteen persons including the fivo* town trustees, which demonstrates the intense interest taken by onr citizens in regard to a new school house, The town trustees wait for tho people to go ahead m this enterprise, and the people wait for the trustees to lead them. The result is much tliq same and reminds us of the song commencing, “Hick Johnson dream’t that his daddy was.dead. And Fliis daddy, he dream’t that Dick Johnson was dead!”

This is about as much as the thing will amount to unless’ the matter is taken in hand by the people in earnest. A subscription sufficiently large to build a good house might ho raised without very much difficulty if the trustees will only be a little more in earnest and not be too much afraid of censure trom a few old fogy croakers. However, the council lias accomplished much t his year toward improving thefappearance of the town. They have caused a good many rods of plank walk to be built, and our streets have been ditched and graded to considerable extent. Not all, to be sure, but a good deal for tlio first year. They have also bought a piece of property for a cemetery. Now they should just go ahead, pursue a proper course, and we will soon have a good school house. If they Hindi and wait for the people to tyike the lead it will be a long timo beforo anything will be done about it, for it is an old and true saying that “what is everybody’s business is nobodys business.’.! m :—.

Maxwell & Co.’s Circular.

To the Farmers of Jasper, Newton, Benton and White counties: Riant an orchard—a beautiful, healthful, profitable orchard. It will grow while you sleep. It will pay better tliau any other investment you can make upon your farms. It will double the value of your property. It will afford you more pleasure ami luxury than anything else you can do.s It will make another link to bind your sons and daughters more firmly to Jheir homes, and future generations will rise up*and bless you. Select for your orchard an elevated or rolling site, and if the aspect be northern so much the better. As soon as sufficiently dry to work stir tho ground deep and thoroughly. Ditch so that no surface water will stand on it. Dig the holes for the trees twenty inches deep, and wide enough to give every root an easy and natural position. Throw the bottom clay to ono side, to be piled upon the surface around the tree.

In planting first throw a few inches of good soil in the bottom of the hole; put in the tree; incline it a little to the southwest; put in two or three inches more of good soil; throw in a bucket of w r ater, and after letting it stand from fifteen to thirty minutes, fill up the hole and press the soil closely around the roots; make a mound around the tree with the clay, and put old straw for a few feet around the tree to tho depth of two or three inches. However well you may have done, don’t stop with the applo alone.— Have your pear orchard, with its golden, melting fruit; the cherry in all its early deliciousness; the downy, blushing peach; the grape—the glorious, cooling, healthful, luscious grape. Neglect not the plum and the berries. And if you do all this, health and wealth, luxury and long life, joy and happineas will be yours.

When you arc ready to plant your trees, come to Remington, Indiana, and get them at Maxwell & Co.’s nursery. We have a fine lot of trees and vines, of all kinds and varieties, adapted to tho prairie and this climate, which we offer for sale as cheap as such stock can be had elsewhere. It is largely your interest to purchase your trees from us — Ist. Because you will know just what you are getting when you buy A- (UK . 2nd. You avoid tho oxposuro of the roots to the air to dry, aud also avoid all injury to tho tree from accidents in shining. 3rd. You can get them when you are ready for them—ground all prepared, etc.— ’'and they need, not be out of the.ground but a few hours. This is a very important itorh.

It very man, woman and child in need of boots or slmes should see tho now stock just received at Hopkinb’ Confide

Tlio starting points of this Route nro at Chicago mill Peoriu. Tho central point I« BURLINGTON, on tlio Mississippi. "'lt truverses Illinois mid tlio wholo lireudth of Southern lowu. Near tho Missouri, its trunk forks into three branches, for it has threo western termini.

_ SPECIAL NOTICES. Mrs. Catherine Bruner's Improvement tor Preserving Eggs, and other Articles. Patented November 30, 1809. A S our Lady inventors are not numeronsa V we take plcaßuro in calling special at tention to the invention described below, which is the result of several years experience. As the whole manner of preserving will be communicated only to those who purchase the receipt, with the right to use it, we can only describe results. Eggs preserved in this manner, were laid down on the first of September, examined at the end of six months by three skilful persons and pronounced to be as fresh as when first laid. Eggs laid down on the Srßt of March could not be told from fresh eggs at the end of seven months, and at the end of fourteen months they were all fresh and good. Eggs kept nine weeks, and afterwards placed under the hen, hatched asTeadily as fresh-laid eggs. To prevent freezing, this process is unequalled. Eggs and other articles easily frozen, were prepared and placed out of doors, on a night when a bucket of water froze nearly solid within doors, and in tho morning not a thing was frozen. Preserves, drugs in druggist stores, nail all other valuable articles easily destroyed by frost, can be kept at. small expense *timnigh_ tliQ coidest weather. The receipt, with foil instructions, as to methods and uses, is for sale for most of the States, a portion of tho territory having been disposed of. Parties can have fall information by addressing Mrs. Catherine Bruner, Miami, Missouri, Whitse! Lewis, Malta Bend, Missouri, or Bent, Goodnow A Co., Boston, Massachusetts.
