I’ureupile & Co.’s. _ j Sohqol teachers should read tho advertisement of the trustees of the Rensselaer public school, published in another column. Malarial diseases have been unusually prevalent in Rensselaer this season and have not abated very much yet. o m Tho honorable board of county commissioners is pegging away at a large* accumulation of road petitions tins week. L. Hopkins is offering “genuine bargains’’ in all kinds of Roots, (Shoes and Slippers, at the old corner. ■—"" Young Doctor R. Y. -Martin has gone to New York City to attend medical lectures this fall and coming winter. Mr. Daniel Parcel, formerly a citizen pf Jasper county, died at his residence near Onarga, 111., Saturday 3d inst., on his loth birth day. Everybody are invited to attend a Sunday School celebration and pie nic at Prater’s Spring in Barkley township, Saturday, (September ; 23d, 1871. 1 Full and winter styles of 'Women’s Slippers, Children's Shoes, and Boots j just received at L. Hopkins.’ 1 J There is a pleasant youngster \ living on Pleasant Ridge who will j be troubled unless lie quits buying | whiskey for minors when be conics to town. A lead casting in which an impression of a safe key had been taken was found yesterday on the sidewalk by the Dunlap House.— Winder what galoot is on that lay? The stock of Boots and Shoes at Hopkins’ Corner, near the bridge, is full and complete, and the prices are ! always tlig lowest. Tlie licet winged pidgeon is now 1 furnishing sport; and pot pies for : tile Nimrods about town.

Week after next Cinciflt Ccourt will be in session iu Jasper county. The docket is unusually large this term on jpeount of the numerous appeals that have been from tlio assessments of the Kankakee Yalley Draining -Company. Sheriff Yeoman has had the fag weeds and stramonium cut down in the Court House yard,., and the grUbs cut out ami p'tfed into tho , S?rcet —very good job—but now., | Marshal Spangle should have liifn remove the rubbish from ufl* the i rtricl.

Mrs. Ellen J. Jackson has placed us under obligations for a charming' bouquet foses, verbenas, asters, ftißchias, tube roses, geraniums and other brilliant and fragrant flowers. Dr. Gregg’s lccturo on the HeathCn Chinee at the Court House last Thursday evening was poorly attended and we are sorry for it as lie appeared liko a good hearted soul and told some interesting things about the oldest and most curious nation on the earth. There is no particular need of directing attention to J. I. Purcupilc & Co.’s double column advertisement as it is so conspicuous that it must be seen if you look on this page of the paper. The ground is so dry that but little fall wheat is being planted yetby the farmers of either Jasper or counties. Some few however have ventured to sow and others arc plowing and making every preparation to sow as soon as the weather becomes favorable. Isaac R. Lewis and Margaret J. McKinney were joined in marriage as husband and wife, last Sunday, September 3d, 1871, by Justice S. P. Howard. We published last week that the happy couple had been regularly licensed according to tho statute of-ludiana. J. I. Purcupile & Co. have made extensive and expensive repairs upon their store room, and have filled it up with a brand new stock of goods which will be sold at the very lowest figures. Messrs. Abbett Bros, are very busy this week unpacking,.marking and shelving a largo all new stock of general hardware, among which may be mentioned stoves, spades, shovels, hay forks, hammers, axes, hatchets, nails, table and pocket icutlery and a thousand other articles needed in every well regulated family. Rev. J. 11. C’issel, of the Laporte Circuit, honored the Union office with a short visit last Saturday.— Notwithstanding the very long period of exceedingly hot weather this summer past, the chicken cholera and the arduous labors of a Methodist Circuit-rider, Brother Cisscl looks robust in health and balances the poise at 210 pounds, j A number of lads from fourteen j to sixteen years df age were <mak- j lag bid reputations for themselves | very fast, last Saturday night.— j They had procured a quart of mean whiskey and caroused about the streets until a late hour, making night-hideous with their obscenity. Somebody ought to, and probably 1 >\ ill, find himself troubled for giving liquors to these young boys. Best quality of envelopes and paper for business men kept onjunid—amL TieatTy printed to order, at this office. We furnish printed envelopes and letter paper, equal in quality and printing, cheaper than they Can be obtained from abroad after adding transportation charges. Don't forget that Newton Brothers’ grand, unprecedented, attractive, combination Variety Show will exhibit in Rensselaer next Tuesday afternoon and evening, September 12th, 1871. The biggest, the most attractive, the greatest variety! All under one canvass. Music, feats of agility, trick animals, wonderful performances.— Sec illunnnhted posters, handbills and advertisement in another column for particulars. Admittance only 50 cents. Children under 12 years old 25 cents. Wc are told that a poor, miserable, cowardly creature bought and drank some of old man Tuteur'stinean whiskey the other day and then went home and beat his wife. Wo wouldn’t blame that woman much if she made a raid on Tutcur’s shebang and cleaned it out. And she might learif her husband a valuable lesson if she would watch her chance to tic him down while drunk, cut a gentle hiclebry limb and as soon as he revived to consciousness larrup him with it until lie promised better behavior. One or two Hoggings administered in that manner wguld c t urc him. of his vicious habit. Scrub horse racing, drinking and boisterous conduct is becoming most too fashionable as Saturday evening amusements among a class ol young bucks in this vicinity, who arc old enough to do better. — If these youngsters and their older abettors have not manners enough to behave themselves when in com. pany or away from home, why they better stay at home and never go into company of decent people. It is a disadvantage keenly felt at such times that there is “no calaboose iu which to imprison these i turbulent revellers until ..they

While boring a well for Mr. Samuel Moore, three miles cost of Rensselaer, a few days since, the workmen drilled through a Btratmn of tough, hard . mineral, nearly white in color and quite free of foreign substances —in fact nearly pure metal. The layer is about half an inch thick. Specimens were sentTo the Smithsonian Institute for classification. What is it? - There were two applicants for license present at tho public’examination of teachers, on Saturday last. George M. Johnson received license for twenty-four months.— The friends of education uro cordially invited to attend thu* public examinations. S. P. Thompson, School Examiner. Prints and Muslins in good supply —bought before the late 'rise—to be sold at old prices at L. Hopkins’s, where it will be the object to make it the interest of all present customers to continue their pntronage.and also for others to share tlielr trade with him.
