Rev. Mr. Miller will preach in the Baptist church Sunday, May 25 th, at 10:30 a. m. It is reported that William Phillips, oldest son of Simon Phillips, Esq., has enlisted in the United Slates army. —.......- Rev. Joseph Hogan was awarded a "JifdgtnimKiT this morning, against Henry M. Doring in an action for slander. Fresh ’white fish from lake Mich igan, sold in town this week for 12! "cents a"T>buT>ill They~Were packed in ice with the entrails removed. People that have bad teeth, or who have lost teeth, are directed to" Dr. Cheney’s card in this paper, and also to his dental robins over the postoillee. This morning Ambrose Ford, of Remington, the only licensed liquor saloon keeper in Jasper county, was lined S2O and costs, by Judge Hammond, for selling intoxicating liquor to Samuel Duvall, a minor. In the circuit court this morning " Dr. James Ritchey was fined $1 for provoking Robert Quin to assault him, and Mr. Quin was fined $5 for punching the Doctor’s head contrary to the peace and dignity of tlie State.

Park. Wright has been round stirring up the manes of Dodd, the poor sheep-killing bird dog that Erustus Peacock shot a couple of months ago, and treated to the cigars for having it announced that he (Wright) was not responsible for that dog’s bad habits, as ho had nothing to do with his early training. Poor Dodd! Let* us be charitable to the dead and drop two or three tears to their virtues! Vale! Judge Alfred Reed, of Monticello, presiding over the circuit court of Jasper county this week in place of Judge Hammond, sustained a motion to quash the indictments against Leopold Tuteur for selling liquor without license and to minors, found under the old law. He held that the law of last winter repealed the former one and there being ho saving clause in the new law there was no statute in existence by which the party could be tried. And thus the old score was wiped out and Tuteur commences operations under the new law clear of charges. The members of temperance organizations in this place seem to have a superfluous amount of courage when ten or twelve, are together in the lodge-room wlth'the doors locked, and they “resolute” and blow and exhort and threaten at a great rate, but when it becomes necessary to file a complaint against a drunken man or a whiskey seller, their courage oozes out of their finger ends, a sudden and peculiar yearning seizes their bowels, important business requires immediate attention; and they hurry rapidly out of sight. But let some peryy non-pretender to advanced ’ temperance fanaticism file a complaint antteause an arrest, and itis wdnderful how soon they recover from their bowel complaint, surprising how expeditiously they transact business, and astonishing how soon they will gather at the feast when ‘the game is captured ! It is probably safe to calculate that one sturdy, sinful, (inpretending man wlw’quietly tapies his occasional nip when the measles or some othercontagion is about, will do more towards enforcing a sensible temperance law, like the present one, than twenty loud-mouthed, resolving fanatics who,fight at long range with pneumatic artillery.

The loser'-of a green vail can find it at tins office. Weather continues cold and unfavorable for farming operations. Pear, plum and cherry trees are blooming profusely, also currant and gooseberry bushes. Peanuts and candies at Johnny Hemphill’s. These ire fresh and good. . Last Saturday Patrick and Mary Barton buried a little child. It was about two years old and died quite suddenly. The labors of the grand jury concltided yesterday and the j ftrors were discharged after finding twen-ty-two indictments. 3,000 yards of brown muslin, from 12A to 16j cents a yard, just-received at Purcupile & Co.’s. Somebody put a pair of new shoes in Dick Grove’s wagon one day last week aud now Dick wants to. know who owns them. Among the notable visitors to our beautiful town last week was Bro. J. B. Spotts wood, of the Kentland Democrat. Why he did not come around and “see a feller” has not yet been manifested. The nicest assortment of chihlreais shoes and slippers, ever in this market, at Purcupile & Co.’s. Brother Snoddy, of the Itemington Journal, favored us with a visit this week. lie was in attendance before tho -grand jury to- tell what, if anything, he. knew about the violation of law by people over at Remington. Why do Purcupile & Co. sell so muehjeans? Because they buy cheap and sell for small profits. All the cases_af_appeal against the assessments of the Kankakee Valley Draining company in the Jasper circuit court, were this week dismissed with costs entered against the company, it failing to appear when called. Purcupile & Co. have the best buckle plow shoes to be found in the market; also.laced plow shoes. I’Jatt & Tuteur have removed the big Modoc sign from Liberal Coiner and hung him on the outer wall <> f their lav a bed, —w Inch means that they keep an excellent selection of tobacco and cigars cheap for the. ready wampum. 72 pairs of men’s plow packs just received at Purcupile & Co.’s, and will be sold as low as they can.be afforded in this market. Deputy John G. Culp writes that he organized White Post Grange, P. of 11., in White Post township, Pulaski county, on the 10th inst.— Master, E. C. Hansell; secretary, J. J. Frederick; membership, 32. The best citizens of the township, are identified with this Grange and it will make one of the best working societies in the county.

The largest, best and cheapest stock of boots and shoes in every variety of leather, patent leather, cloth, carpet, and rubber stock, at the Boston boot and shoe store. Dan. Coleman, of Remington, forgot tot liquidate his grub and roosting bill at the Central yesterday and started home, but one of the boys went after and overtook the beauty about a mile from town. Upoivbeing gently reminded of his omission, Dan. shelled out like a little darling and his pretty meerchaum nose glowed with increased lustre. Everybody wants a summer hat, and the place to buy one of the latest style is at Johnny Hemphill’s. Also caps and everything in the gentlemen’s furnishing line. About one-third of the male inhabitants of Remington were in attendance before the grand jury this week. There has been a vast amount of liquor drunk and many offenses of law committed in that place lor a few months past, report says, and now the authorities want to know all about how and why this state of affairs exists in the “garden of the West.” A few pieces of dry goods, hats, caps, boots, shoeS'and notions left of the old stock belonging to the late Thomas Hollingsworth, at Emmet Kannalls-drog store, will bo sold at great bargains in order to close out. Every body in need of harness, saddles, bridles or repairing of these articles will find it to their interest to call on Mr. Henry Braddock. He has this week moved into his new shop next door above Haley & Myers’ boot and shoe ahop and has everything in peat order. The Patrons of Husbandry at one of their recent Association meetings passed a resolution recommending Mr. Braddock’s establishment as the place where they., could obtain the nest and cheapest bargains.

Purcupiles have their store arranged in better order and have more space to turn around in since they finished their new room for their boot and shoe department.—■ Mr. A. Purcupile is now in Chicago making still more purchases to add to their already large and handsome stock. As will be seen in an advertisement, Dr. Jackson has withdrawn from the firm. Charley Johnson*and- Ed. Maxwell, of the Remington Journal, were in town yesterday playing croquet and dancing attendance to the grand jury. By-tbe-way, those Remington newspaper men seem to know a great deal oi meanness about their fellow-citizens and the whole office force, including the editor, was interviewed by the prosecuting attorney in his official capacity this week. Secretaries of Granges can procure blank applications for at this office, for 10 cents a dozen.

Last week a son of Mr. John Jacks was plowing for Mr. John Daugherty, three miles south of town, when the team Mcame unmanageable and ran away. The little fellow, who is but fourteen years old and small, had the lines around his body, passing over one -shoulder mid under the other, and was jerked down and dragged forty or fifty rods before he could extricate himself. The plow struck him on his shoulder and side once and his face was bruised and scratched considerably,- but fortunately; though for a wonder, he sustained no serious hur-t. 10 lbs. dried peaches, extra, for Si.oo 9 “ choice N, O. sugar, “ 1.00 10 “ brown “ ' “ “ 1.00 71 “ “A” while “ “ .1.00 4 “ choice coffee, for 1.00 Natural leaf tea, per lb, 75 Prunes, per lb, 15 Extra yard wide muslin, per yd, 121 A few pieces fine eassimere, new styles calico and choice selection of percales, at Lndd Hopkins’. Billy Draper and young Bollcs, of Remington, were in town yester"flay- drinking intoxicating liquor and playing billiards. Charles Palmer Wright filed an information with Justice Harding who issued a warrant for their arrest and placed it in the hands of Constable Erastus Peacock for service. In the meantime Bollen and Draper had left town, but were overtaken about two miles south and brought back fortrial. Draper plead guilty of a plain drunk and was fined ami co-sted $13.35; Dolles, possessing greater capacity for fluid extracts than his companion, got off better, the charge not being sustained.— After settling Draper's excuses the parties left town disgusted and threatening vengeance upon their informer. It is said there were one or two other Remington 'gentlemen in the convivial party, but for some reason they were .not interviewed.
