A shocking arid fatal accident happened last Friday in the-family of Mr. Christian Wertliner, a worthy German living on the edge of the Two-mile Prairie, three or four miles west of Rensselaer. Mr. Werthner w6nl to mill with a neighbor, leaving his wife to attend the out-door chores. They have two little children—one a babe, the other a little girl between two and three years old'. Mrs. Werthner left the two children in the house and was out twenty or thirty minutes taking care of the stock. On coining to the house the room in whicjLher, children were left., was filled with siuoke and the little girl was rolling about the floor with her clothes in flames. Her mother extinguished the fire as soon as possible, hut the little child was so severely burnt about the abdomen and stomach that inflamation supervened and caused her death last Sunday night. The infant, which \ was lying in a cradle, was burnt j somewhat about the face, but not | set iottsly; it is supposed the little : girl fell over kin her endeavor to j escape from the flames that were | destroying her. It is thought the child was playing about Rhe stove and that she pulled out coals which set fire to her clothing.

A Card.

Remington,'lnd. "Dec. 2d, 1872. Editors Union: Perhaps you may have been able to decipher something publishing by the editor of the Remington Journal, a month or two ago, about “presenting our little hill iqfiim {in caning me] after which wo were not .troubled any more with his long yarns,” etc. Those who were able to decipher, the article, if they could arrive at any conclusion, would he led to think that it was my private account lie was trying to collect and payment of which' I was attempting to shun. The,good Lord forbid that I should ever employ an individual with neither common sense, education nor‘mechanical skill to -transact -business tlmt requires a little of each of thcse.qualiticntioiis. No! The hill presented by the gentleman ot those “respectfully long ears” was against the Trustees of the town ol Remington, and tiie itents were for trying to publish little notices for the Marshal, whjr^thQiiglit ..Leu editor a kindness by preparing for his paper something worth reading: for botching a card of the Trustees in which they tried to inform the public why they could not issue bonds for the erection of a. line, costly school house—for which lie charged sß.7ff, I think; then 100 blank deeds for cemetery lots, $2. The whole hit! amounting to something over nineteen dollars. That was the little hill! The Board of Trustees saw proper to shave the •‘little hill” a trifle—sl7.oo,l think —and allowed him ? 2 for the blank deeds, and no more. One of the l}«ard voted for the “no more.” Now he it known that I am so unfortunate as to he President of the Board of/Trustees, lienee lie pitches .into me.

Ti is too bad that a community as intelligent as the people in and about Remington should be gulled by a person so destitute of sense, principle and everything- which com the ignorant editor of the Journal at tins place. We wanted a newspaper badly, and the people subscribed liberally to its support, sonic men taking several copies in order' ,to send, out to friends abroad, but when they found tile pi oprietpr could neither spell, write nor print they were ashamed to send them. Late Liberal Candidate for Real Estate Appraiser.

Having made a contract for the building of one hundred of the “Heady Boy,” or Knox Cultivator’s, for the spring trade of 1873, f ilm now prepared to tillorders to 'that amount. This Cultivator is entirely new and is warranted to do better work and to be of lighter draft than any now inuse. The “Ready Boy” is a riding or walking Cultivator and can be niau- | aged easily by a boy 12 years old.—| ; Persons desirous of trying this new j Inbodsaviiig farm implement can ob- : tain full particulars l>y calling on Dr. Kelley, at the Photograph Gallery, over XViHey, Sigler & Hulstead’sstore, Washington street, Rensselaer, Ind. References: I)r. .Samuel W. lUtchey, DrSJames Ritchey, Mr. Andrew K. i Yeoman, Mr. James "'Hemphill, at i their several farms, and many others Who saw It at work last summer. Any or all the above can and will testify of the merits of the “Ready Boy” to any wjjo may doubt ltdexcellence and superiority over any otlier Cultivator. ! o-10-ts. * Ira C. Kellet.
