James A. Burnham and his two lady assistants are entitled to much praiseifnd good pay for the signal ability they display in managing the young eyed dear’s shutzenfest, which is now in successful operation. Try Kannal’s cigars for quality and price. He keeps the best cigars in town for the price and is always ready to wait on customers. Circuit court next Monday. If necessary the session will continue three weeks. On account of the common pleas business having been transferred to this court the docket is the largest one ever tried in this county. The new Boston boot and shoe store, opposite the bank, at Rensselaer, Indiana, has every desirable kind of foot wear manufactured..

Married, on Thursday, May Ist, 1873, at the residence of Mr. John Jordan, one and one-lialf miles northwest of Remington, by B. B. Jeffries, Esq., Mr. Samuel H. Moore, of Benton county, to Miss Lora Lilves, of Jasper county, Indiana. The season for painting is rapidly drawing near and people who intend to renovate and improve the appearance of property should get the best materials. Emmet Kannal keeps the celebrated Averlll Chemical Paint in all colors, tints and shades; also white lead and oil in large supply. One of Mr. Mart. V. B. Warner’s little girls, five or six years old, was severely burnt on Monday. She was out where they were burning brush and leaves when her clothing caught fire by some means. The child suffers considerable, but is not ihought to be dangerously burnt. i '■ ' '* * * Dr.'Harding, Mr. Simon Phillips, Mr. S. P. Howard, Mr. John Abbott afid perhaps others, have planted moro shade trees this spring. This reminds us that it iH not too late yet to transplant, and that Mr. J. G. Weathers has some fine Negundq maples to give away for this purpose.

His Honor, E. P. Hammond, was present on Monday, and opened Circuit Court, under the new law of last winter. The Judge lms favorably impressed all who have had anything ito do in court, by presiding with urbanity and dignity, and’With his promptness ih making decisions. —Oxford Tribune. Last Tuesday Ira W, Yeoman, Esq., took his family Westward, ho 1 to make his home in lowa. Sorry to loose such good citizens but our loss is the gain of sorno other locality. The good wishes of everybody go with Mr. Yeoman and his family.

Four dead rats, hanging by their necks, were seen not long since in a shade tree in front of the dwelling of a justice of the peace in this place. We are not positive that they were hung there for a sign emblematical, but they were far more suggestive than the pawnbroker's traditional three golden balls. Tho election for town officers last Monday, resulted as follows: Trustees.— lst district, Joshua Healey; 2d district, G. A. Moss; 3d district, E. L. Clark; 4th district, Peter Rhoads; sth district, W. 11. Rhoades. Clerk. —Nathaniel W. Reeve. Assessor. —S. P. Howard. Treasurer. —J. 11. Willey. Marshal. —J. B. Spangle. Died, at twenty minutes past nine o’clock this morning, May Bth, 1873, of measles, Cora Louisa, daughter of Horace E. and Frances J. A. James, aged 13 months and 17 days. Funeral services at the Christian church, by Elder D. T. Halstead, at eleven o’clock A. M., Sunday, May 11th. Friends are respectfully invited to attend without further notice. This was the youngest of a family of three children, all of whom have died within twenty months. Hank Bowman is the shrewdest real estate broker in Indiana. He lately sold 7£ acres of dogfish bottom in the Iroquois river for $8,000; then lie paid $5,Q00 of the price for the identical race nag that Ham persuaded Noah to take into the ark. The nag is undoubtedly a fast beast, and if Hank didn’t insist on making him carry such a heavypedigree he- would skim over the track like a dog with a tin can tied to his tail. — Tho money market has cased up so much in New York within the past few days as to justify the officers of the Continental in promising an early resumption of work. The “corner” in money effectually stopped all public enterprises while it prevailed. But now that it is over the Continental promises to be among the first in tlvo field. This will be good news tp the people along the line, and especially in Jasper county. Notwithstanding itwas predicted that the Colorado, potato hug had b6en destroyed by the severe weather ot last winter, the beast is on hand, with teeth whetted and appetite sharpened by long fasting, ready, waiting and anxious for green potato tops to appear above ground, so he can begin business for himself and family. This is a fact, and we know it because we have seen him, with our own eyes and our neighbors have also beheld his familiar and hated form.

Rev. Mr. Wilson, of Aurora, Ind., who desires to be called a “colored gentleman,” was in Rensselaer last Monday begging for Some kind of an educational scheme for the benefit of the blacks. It was amusing to witness tho embarrassment of old time abolitionists when introduced to their colored friend and brother, and to observe the celerity with which they paid their quarters and passed him to jthe next, for fear all would not be favored with a hand-shake. He was not much of a lecturer, but is a successful beggar. People who want any article of farm hardware whatever, will find a good assortment at Sir. Norman Warner’s establishment on Front street. He has in stock axes, hatohets, hammers, wood saws, meat saws, carpenter’s saw's, scoop shovels, dirt shovels, spades, pitch forks, manure forks, garden forks, mattocks, picks, grain rakes, garden rakes, garden trowels, gvass hooks, hoes, hedge shears, smoothing irons, trace chains, halter chains, soap kettles, augers, nails, harrow teeth, hinges, files, bolts, screws, table cutlery, plows, mowing machines, farm bells, &c., &c.

Remington Items.

Compiled from the Journal. Carpenters busy and Remington improving. A dog fight was the greatest sensation in town last weel£. The subscription list of the Journal is rapidly increasing; good. ‘The Journal advocates thu construction of a gravel road from that place to the south boundary of Gilboa township, Benton county, a distance of seven and one-half miles, which it estimates could be done at a cost of about $2,000 per mile.

Fidelity Grange, in Marion township, Jasper county, Ind., with a membership of 30. — Master, W. C. Pierce; Secretary, W. W. Reed. Postoffice address, Rensselaer, Ind. We have received from Geo, F. Root & Sons, 283 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, 111, the following timely song, which is particularly appropriate to the present movement of the farmers‘against railroads, and other monopolies. It is a song that will arouse enthusiasm at the public meetings of the Granges and we ask the musical friends of the order to put themselves iti training:

The Hand that Holds the Bread.

Brothers of the plow Tiie power is with you; The world ill expectation waits For action prompt and true. Oppression stalks abioad, Monopolies abound, Tlieir giant hands already clutch The tillers of the ground. Chorus: AwakeJ then, awake! - The great world must be fed, And Heaven gives the power To ihe hand that holds the bread. Yes, Brothers ol -the plow!;. The people must be fed, And Heaven gives the power To the HAND THAT HOI.DSTHE BREAD. Brothers of the plow! In calm and quiet miglit You've waited long and patiently For what was yours by right, A fair reward for toil, A free aud open field, An honest share lor yife anti home Of what your harvests yield! Chorus; Awake! then, awake! &c. Brothers of the plow! Come; rally once again; Come gather from the prairie wide, The hillside and the plain; Not, as in days of yore, With trump of battle sound,— —— —, But come and make the world respoct The tillers of the ground. Chorus: Awake! then, awake! Ac. ■■■ ■ The South Bend Register denies that Mr. Colfax has any wish to reenter public life, and says: “We have heard him say repeatedly and uniformly that lie did not want an office of any kind—thht fof' the Urstrttme fir twenty years lie belonged to his family and himself instead of tile public, and enjoyed the rest aud quiet it brought to him too well to think of consenting that his ownership should be changed.”
