THE RENSSELAER UNION. 4 tyke* ——-4Thursday, March 13th, 1873.

New Carlisle is proud of a female billiard player. Hebron has a young 8»n; ’lts a new newspaper. Let it thine for all. Wheat in Carroll county looks splendid and farmers predict a large yield. Cerebro-spinal meningitis is prevailing to an alarming extent at and near Mishawaka. The cosjporaftiom <sOllOOll of Ligrtiiier Itift'e contracted for a hook and ladder truck Oosting S2OO. Sixteen or seventeen persons joined the Presbyterian church at South Bend last Sabbath week. The Winamac Odd Fellows have decorated their hall with a bran new set of emblems, costing abont SIOO. A wagon manufacturing company of South Bend has shipped one of their wagons to the Vienna Exponitioiiw •- - - • The Crown Point Register has a two thousand dollar job of printing from Congress, and indulges in a bran new dress. —7—-. - - c Mr. W. A. Patrick resigned the sheriffalty of Newton county last: week, and Jira Skinner was appointed in liis Stead. A ham, a few cigars and fifteen cents in money was what the burglars got who went through a store at Kentland last week. The Michigan City harbor will have the benefit of SIOO,OOO government appropriation expended on its improvement this season. The Winamac Democrat thinks it is about time the Knox Ledger man was getting “some new shoe pegs toprint the home side of his paper on.” The St. Joseph Valley Register, of South Bend, 28 years old, has recently been enlarged. Thirty-six long well filled columns weekly for only $1.50 per year. Up at Plymouth the hoys are turning an honest penny by harnessing up the public dogs and making them work to wagons and sleds as beasts of burden. The Herald says there is some talk of locating the new passenger depot on the opposite side of the river from Monticello, but thinks that would be too absurd. Esq. Fountain W. Ham, a well known citizens of Jackson township, Newton county, was stricken with apoplexy and died suddenly, week ago last Saturday. Mr. Leander Gewoorors, of Hobart, buried a wife and two children on Tuesday of last week, a third child died the same day, and the fourth and last was sick—all with cerebro spinal meningitis. Morris Myers, aged 20, got disgusted at the hash and sand at Michigan City last week and put one leg into Charon’s canoe to visit the further shore; but a meddlesome doctor collared the unhappy youth and he still diets on sandy bash. A splendid black horse and one of the best carriages ever manufactured by a celebrated company in that place, are to be presented to Hon. Schuyler Colfax, by the citizens of South Bend, as a testimonial of their appreciation of his political career. An enterprising individual at Columbus, Indiana, has issued a “confidential” circular to liquor dealers in winch he proposes for the modest sum of $2 to send full instructions how the sections and provisions of the new liquor law may be dodged and no license or other expense required to do business.” 1 The town board of Winamac recently contracted to have four public pumps put down in convenient parts of town. The pipes are two and a half inch, and the pumps will be so constructed that hose can be attached and have handles for four persons to pump at once. They are warranted to throw water 150 feet and to be anti freezing. It will only requires the- modest sqm of $1,880,000 to pay for postage stamps for. the use of the several departments of the Government during the year 1873. Don’t it begin to Joofcas though the abolition of the franking privilege Was dot going to work muck of a “reform” in the matter of expenditures?

Nunday School Literature.

Ebwobs -Unwk: —The Sunday school panels, tracts, etc., left at your office.) ast’Wcek, were not so much for ■pdtstfttefi and private reading as for ‘inspection and examination. They ' were called forth by your reference to the subject, and quotation from the Winamac pemocrat of the week before. Glad you found time and space to give this important subject so much attention. Your criticisms are admissible. Should have been pleased if you could have found room for some of the good of which you speak—perhajw you may hereafter. As there is evidently much that is good in Bunday school literature, it may be hoped that the general effect of such reading will be favorable. This is much more than can be said of much of the reading matter at present placed in the hands of the young. Such literature, not that for the Bunday school only, bul all literature for the young, “from the fact of its coming directly in contact with tender, plastic, uninformed minds, ought to be pure, earnest, and above all else, strictly truthful.” Pity that it is not so now, but as it certainly is not, let the work of pruning and sifting go on. Those who are most deeply interested in the proper moral and religious training of the young will not be slow to welcome every available help. * Let us have more and more of the True, the Pure, the Beautiful, the Good. More of such writers, talkers and workers as Mr. Raymond, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and scores and hundreds of others, whose earnest, truthful and beautiful words the world will not soon let die. It. F. R. F. scores close, but isn’t mindful of the chalkline. “You’re another” never seemed good logic to us; but still we presume it would not be amiss to look after our own lumber yard part of the time.

Remington as It Is.

Remington, in a nutshell, is about as follows: Three large, comfortable church edifices; one large frame school house, with three commodious rooms, and a teacherin each department; five dry goods aud clothing stores; two drug stores and it is rumored that another one will be opened soon; three hardware stores and prospect good for another one in the spring; one stove and tin store; three millinery one jewelry store; four saloons; one billiard hall, oyster saloon, confectionery store, tobacco store and barber shop combined; one furniture store; one printing office; three hotels; two meat markets; one bakery; one livery stable; one photograph gallery- two blacksmith shops; two wagon shops; two harness shops; one shoe shop; one tailor shop; three physicians; one lawyer; one insurance office; a lodge of Masons; a lodge of Odd Fellows; and adjoining the town a first class nursery. The population of Remington is about 700, and we can only add the inhabitants are courteous, civil and industrious, and in most cases devote a part of their spare time in attending to their own business.— Remington Journal. In addition to the foregoing we may say that Remington is in Jasper county, situated in the midst of a large scope of magnificent farming and stock-raising country; it has two large steam grain elevators, with extensive warehouses, a hay press, a passenger and freight depot, a telegraph office and a post office where three daily mails are received and distributed, It is a thriving, prosperous town, has doubled its population and quadrupled its business since June 1870, and promises soon to be one of the best towns for the investment of capital on the railroad between Logansport and the Illinois State line.

A Petition.

The Banner of Light is urging the following petition upon its patrons and the people of the United States: CITIZENS PETITION. To the Honorable United Stales Senate and House of Representatives in Congress assembled: ~~' The undersigned, citizens of the United States, deeply realizing the importance of improving the facilities and safety in transmitting small sums of money through the mails, do respectfully but meet urgently solicit your attention and action in the premises. , From our experience and information upon the subject, we do verily believe that many hundreds of thousands of dollars are annually purloined from letters by officials who have the handling of the United States mails. It has become a burden and a source of annoyance which we are unwilling longer to endure. We know that the remedy for the evil is simple, and justice demands a prompt adoption of a measure which will remedy it in every post-office throughout the United States. Millions of dollars are transmitted in small sums every year by people in moderate circumstances for newspaper subscriptions, books, small articles of merchandise, and other purposes too numerous to mention, a considerable per cent, of which never reaches its legitimate destination. A revenue in these cases is paid to the Government, and yet there is no equivalent, rendered. The Postal Money Order System, so far as it extends, is a safe and convenient mode of transmitting money through the mails; but the tariff of expenses, on small suras, is too high. The Registry System is expensive and unsafe. It is not what the people require. We most urgently ask your honorable body to speedily take this subject under consideration, and to extend the Money Order System to every post-office in the United States, with such a low rate of expense as shall be equitable and just toward the people, and asln duty bound, etc. We have found the Money Order system sufficient to meet the requirements of small' business. If its provisions could be extended to cover larger sums, and so as to make every, postoffice a money order office, it would then seem to be perfect in every respect.
