The chintz bug is reported to be attacking oat ami wheat fields m the south part of the county. Over six inches of rain has fallen m this imm.cdiatc vicinity since last Friday, and many cornfields are DOW too wet to work in. Mr. 11. Pot it, one of the best barbers that ever drew razor in Rensselaer, is now .practicing the tonsorial art in Monticello. Since work commenced on the railroad crocfuet has be i n a failure, as all theibest players are shoveling dirt nt &1.25 per day, Mr.. James. F. Irwin, Trustee of Carpenter township informs us that tho.spring enumeration chows that tthere.are 301 voters in Lis town, iship. in liemingt on, Indiana, JJune 4th,1871, at the residence of ’the officiating magistrate, Justice B. B. Jeffries, —Mr. John J. Briggs to Miss Mary A. Mods on, all of Jas-, per county’Rev/TI.‘A» Mayhew, of Austin, Minn., formerly pas Lor of the Presbyterian church at ''this place, paid ins .a I'inoraentary call during the jpastweik. His general health is i much better than wh en residing in JJasper county, but ho is still as- ; flioted with asthma. Mr. Mayhew • was on his way to Cincinnati where I.ho I .will Stop a couple, of weeks previous to moving to California and Making pastoral chairge of a church i from w&ieh he has. received a call. SSomething oug ht to be done to ppreveut the Coun'cy Commissioners ; perpetrating an y more outrages i.jipon the worthy poor of Indiana.— ' We know from sad experience that jLis. terribly inconvenient to be poor ► and‘our sympathies are all with t those who make their bread by the ’ labor of their hands, and when we veee their more fortunate neighbors - or the heartless minions of law taking advantage of their necessities -Co harass and oppress them it makes us feel indignant. A case in point has occurred at the Commissioners’ court now in session.— A firm of distressedly poor workmen at Lafayette that sends its agents out over the State to beg public aid from the counties, filed ;JS claim for pecuniary -amounting to something over two hundred dollars. Upon examination it was found that the firin bail furnished and charged 828 apiece for four largo blank books that were not ordered; making 8112 for that were not needed.— Contraryjo precedent and acustoin said to prevail in other counties, the crt|el triumvirate clothed with a little brief authority, refused to pay for the superfluous books and they are now stored in the Auditor’s oflice subject to tjic order of the manufacturers.

S. I‘. Thouftiion, Esq , was yesterday appointed County School Examindr, by the Board of Commissioners. Ho is educationally well qualified and no doubt will give general satisfaction. From an Austin, .Texas, paper we sec that “Col.” Alfred Irwin has recently drawn a prize of 825,000 in tile Royal Havana lottery. Alf. was formerly a resident of Rensselaer and iVas always a lucky fellow. Wish he would divide with us. Comniuiiiun’-serviees will bo held in the Presbyterian Church commencing, Saturday, Juno 17th, at 2:30 oclock p. m., and continue over Sabbatli. All the communicants of the ’Presbyterian Church arc earnestly requested to attend the afternoon meeting on Saturday,(as well as those on Sabbath,) as an election of officers is necessary and desirable. The ordinance of baptism will be duly observed on Saturday and Sabbath, and an opportunity will be afforded to all who desire to unite with the Church. Rev. J. B. Smith, of Kentland, will be present. A general and most cordial invitation is extended to all to attend these meetings. W. 11. Gooihsson. Reussefacr, Ind., Juno 6, 1871. < * * gs ■ an > ■■ C" -- " Great care should be observed by those who use Paris green fvr the extermination of the Colorado bug,as it is an active poison to the human system. This drug is a preparation of arsenic, one of the most active of mineral poisons, and is extensively used by painters, many of whom wear gloves while handling it. It should never be applied in its pure state to the potato vines as it will destroy them, but it should bo mixed with from six to ten parts of wheat flour, plaster Paris, ashes or air slacked lime, (flour is best) and sprinkled over the potato plants with a dredg-ing-box or a sieve, always taking great care to stand on the windward side so that none of the powder may be attached to the clothing or breathed. If the potatoes are in the garden among small fruits or vegetables, the latter should be thoroughly washed before eaten. Last Friday this locality was visited witlra heavy thunder storm. — For a week previous very hot weather Imd prevailed ami th,c atmosphere was charged with gases, making it an immense electric reservoir that only wanted a disturbing cause to put it in active operation. About noon two clouds approached the zenith from the north and south which, when nearly met over the town, passed their compliments 4n a vivid flash of lightning, followed by a sharp peal of thunder that brought nearly everyr body to their doors to see if it had not struck some near object. The thunderbolt struck the chimney of Mr. Peter Rhoades’ residence in Newton Addition, near the school house, and made shingles and bricks fly-in every direction. Passing dbtvn the chimney it followed the stove pipe into the §tovc and thence down the stove legs into the floor, making everything rattle and. filling the room with a strong sulphurous odor. A young man who J was passing near the house at the time was hit on his Lead with one of the falling brickbats and knocked down but was not seriously hurt. — Kone of the family in and about the house were harmed or experienced any inconvenience other than being startled by the sudden concussion, thflfrtgh several persons hundreds of yards away and in different directions observed the peculiar odor near them and felt a shock like that produced by an clcctnc battery. An hour or two afterwards the lightning struck the dwelling of Mr. Philander R. Hopkins, on Front street, tearing off shingles and weather-boarding, loosening nails, knocking down plastering and furniture and setting fire to tho building, which was, however, promptly extinguished before it had made any considerable headway and the damage can probably all be repaired for five dollars. Mrs. Hopkins was knocked down and other members of the family were slightly shocked, but fortunately seriously hurt. Shortly after this a shaft of lightening was seen Mr. Alfred Thompson’s residence on Water street, but it was conducted the lightning-rod without damage to property. During the storm considerable hail fell, but it was not ao large as to injure vegetation, and though for an hour or two the storm was terrific, it purified the air and revived growing cr<-p:. - i

Messrs. Lockwood, Porter <fc Co.’h Panorama of scenes in tho life of our Saviour, will bo exhibited in tho Court House, in Rensselaer Saturday evening, Juno 17th, 1871. This nmgnficent painting is copied principally from designs by tho great Italian masters, and presents an unequalled opportunity for viewing complete counterparts of those master pieces of human skill that for ages have been the wonder and admiration of civilization. It comprises fifty-one scenes, each scene containing over seventy-fivo feet of canvass, making in all over four thousand feet of beautiful paintings of the customs, manners and dress of the Orient at tho time our Saviour was on earth. There arc five hundred human figures represented as large as life, illustrating the remarkable events in the life of Jesus Christ from his annunciation to his ascension. There will be an explanatory lecture of about two hours duration. The exhibitors hold letters of commendation from ministers of all demominations approving the high artistic merit of the painting and recommending it to the undivided patronage of the religious public. Admission 25 cents, children under twelve years of age 15 cents. Look out foT the programmes.
