The actual current expenses of Jasper county during the fiscal year ending May 81st, 1878, were 15,114.40. Dr. Cheney, dentist, leaves town to-day to visit friends in Illinois, and will not return until after the 4th of July. Latest styles of percales at Purcuplte & Co.’s. Tom Spitler is rapidiy and successfully obstructing the sidewalk near this office with adobes for his new divorce garden. , It is reported that a sneak thief •went through the Austin hotel last Monday night, and relieved a boarder of $134 hi currency. ; 300 pounds of Clare'uee carpet warp ’just received at Pureup.de & Co.’s. •Messrs.

Save your potatoes by getting some of Kan mil’s “Potato Bug Kxterminjttor. ’ ’ The Commissioners last week cut down the tax levy for county purposes from 70 cents to 50 cents on the SIOO valuation. Awful glad, don’t you? Heard a horse trader enumerating the blemishes his ■■animal was tree from a day or two since Among other ills that the horse- didn’t have was lone spasms. Why do Pureupile & Co. soil so much jeans? Because they buy cheap and sell for small profits. Charley Starr’s sweetened, wind mill supplies Remington dealers with gasified gravestones, which accounts for the vivacity of that burgh for a few days past. Al. Snyder, one of the parties implicated in the Wormct outrage, was incarcerated in the Win&mae jail last week. Sheriff Daugherty escorted him thither. Pureupile & Co. have the best buckle plow shoes to be found in the market; also laced plow shoes. Emmet Kaenal is through repainting his very neat estnhlishii)opt and has the most efficient quinine, jalap, pills and spirit as Jerrnenti in the business. Rensselaer public, schools close to-morrow, and there will lie no more “books” until sometime in October; a fact that brings satisfaction to scores of weary urchins. Every one that wants a good pair of boots or shoes should not fail to call on Pureupile & Co. On the 4th instant Mrs. Catherine, wife of John Robinson, of Hanging Grove township, died, aged about seventy-two. years. — She had been a resident of Jasper county since 1845. The Fourth of July comes two weeks from to-morrow this year, hut little boys who ignite firecrackers in the public streets will be liable to prosecution and line, the same as their fathers who get drunk that day. The nicest assortment of children’s shoes and slippers, ever in this market, at Pureupile & Co.’s, Jllr. John Porter Dunlap last week contracted to build, a good bridge across Carpenters creek, near Dr. James Ritchey’s, with the abutments and all complete lor travel, for SSOO in county greenbacks. A small, hut select, procession paraded through town last Saturday, unheralded by music yet clothed in clean duds, to participate in the hydropathic picnic that was held in Milldam Grove. The picnic is said to have been an enjoyable affair. 3,000 yards of brown muslin, from 124 to 10| tents a yard, jus t -reeei vod at Pureupile & Co.’s. Messrs. Daugherty & Jacks want everybody to know that they have just received, and placed on shelf, a superior lot of gliissware, which (they propose to sell at very small #<jlyaiioo over Qiigityal cost and expense of transportation: Thos.o wanting any article of glassware should not neglect to call and see (them while they liftvo a full stock.

Town Marshal Spangle has been inlaying the intersection of Van Rensselaer and \Vashiugton streets, with an elegant mosaic of green oak plank, which, after a lew clay’s exposure to the sun, will warp up into the most beautiful shinbreakers a surgeon would desire to see. Justice Harding, held another of those popular hymenial matinees in his drug store yesterday afternoon, at which the formula was repeated that made husband and wile of George Brown and Tabitha J. Brown. And it is red hot weather, too. A few cents worth of Kannal’s potato bug poisou will kill more bugs In one day than you can kill With your hands in a week. After the first day of July next postage must be paid on each and every copy of The Union that passes through the postoffice.— Those subscribers who prefer to ea’l at the office of publication for their papers will please notify us before that date, in order that we may arrange to deliver them here. — —. **•- The public are invited to attend a pie nie and dance to be held in Rensselaer, July 4th, 1873.

The man Who opposes railroads because they kill stock and make a noise was in town this week, smoking a stub tailed pipe, lie wore eottonade pants ripped .to the . knee and held up by a shoe string suspender, a lop-eared wool hat, and raw hide moccasins. Ilis hair hadn't been combed for two weeks and lie doiTl believe in"hcTwspTipers, free schools, “nor sieli.” Mr. N. W. Hopkins lias the agency for selling South Bond wagons at this place. -Wagons may be seen at bis residence opposite the school house in Rensselaer. p-c’B-2t. Despito the drayage that has accumulated on I. M. Slow’s stock of jewelry in having it moved from place to place about town since lie brought it here, he sells as cheap now as ever. A recent removal has brought him back to where he started a lew weeks ago—into the room between Platt A Tuteur’s grocery and Harding’s drug store. — W (itches, clocks and jewelry repaired on short notice. , 10 lbs. dried peaches, extra, for 81.00 9 “ choice N.

The Laportc Herald has a Rons selaer correspondent, who writes over the nom de plume of “Sand Bur.” “Sand Bur” says that the stable oi John Wenriek, in Walker -township, was struck by lightning during a storm several weeks since :iiid one horse was killed. Mr. Wessner’s house near the same place was also„„ struck* splintering hoards and killing a dog. Catterpillurs are consuming tlje foliage of apple and cherry trees in some parts of Jasper county,' according to the observation of this correspondent. While at Rensselaer this week we took a look at the cemetery of that place. It is one of the nicest burial places we have seen for a long time; we do not know of a cemetery equaling It, in all the elements of beauty and quietnessxequired for such a place, in any of tbe-towns of northwestern Indiana. Nature has done its part well; let the citizens properly carry out the plans they have begun and they, may indeed be proad of their possession.— Remington Journal.

' ' ' r • •%>*■ Last Tuesday morning, so the storyjgoes, Beu. Sayler went and dunned John Yeoman for some, money that was owing him, huCdid it in such a provoking manner that Tie rec-ifi d a bat uver bis head in lieiTthereof. The blow laid open a terrible gash. Both parties live in Newton township, but brought their caSc to Justice Harding lor adjustment, which was accomplished by fining each #1 —the former for provoking an assault, and the latter for permitting his angry passions to rise—and both went un their way rejoicing.

The Kokomo Democrat says, "Mr. B'. F. .Voiles, of tiffs city, has purchased au interest in a farm in Morgan county, on which gold has been discovered. He was in the city Saturday, and Showed us samples of gold which he himself had found, also the peculiar black sand, miner’s infallible sign of gold, which is found plentiful on the farm. The farm is near MooresviHe, and is pronounced by prominent judges fieli in gojd dust.— A company Tras been formed. -a«d- ---’ milling operations will be commenced in a few weeks.” W 0 were'raised, or rather grew up a short distance from that gold mine. It was discovered about forty years ago. Has the real ‘black sand” and a little, very little, real gold iu it.— We weie offered forty acres of said gold region as a present not more than a year ago, if wo would leave the swamps, musquitoes, frogs, ague and Bad society-of Jasper county; and are ready to venture our geological and minerotogical reputation that there is more gold in the black, fertile soil of Jasper county than will ever bo dug from the whole Red Sandstone formalion —of which this gold mine is a part—from the Wabasli river to the Gulf of Mexico.—Remington Journal.
