THE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursday, March 26, 1874.

School.—The spring term of Prof. Burnham's graded school will commence next Monday. Funeral.—The funeral rites of Arthur and Mirarn Trussell's infant son were performed last Saturday. • ••‘ sx; Died.—Mr. Samuel Greenfield a farmer who lived about seven miles n >rth of Rensselaer, died last Saturday night. Died.—Mr. Andrew Ryan died in Rensselaer, Sunday night, of ulcerated throat. He was a young man about 20years of age. Evergreens.--As soon as the seasbn comes in which to plant them, Mr. Coen will have a nice lot of evergreens for sale. Fire.—Timely discovery of an incipient fire and prompt action to put it out, saved Mrs. Cole’s house from destruction yesterday. Concert. —A Sabbath school concert and quarterly review of lessons will be held at the Presbyterian church, next Sunday evening. The P. O.—Messrs. Willey & Sigler, of the post office store, have a large new advertisement in this paper Which should be read by everybody. More Improvement,—Mrs. Hemphill nas extended the brick walk commenced last week by Dr. Murtiu, along past her millinery store and intervening property. Commeced Operations.—The Iroquois Ditching Company commenced nutking preliminary purveys of their proposed work, this week. The engineer corps is under the direction of Mr. John Miller. You WANTTiiB Best.—When people buy for money they want the worth of it; and if you want a good, Mout, (hirable set otharness for spring work or heavy hauling, go to Baker, opposite Austin’s Hotel. He makes the best and sells the cheat est. Preaching.—Elder Reed, of Chicago, has written that he will preach in the Christian Church at Rensselaer next Sunday. If possible he will be here in season to preach to-morrow evening and Saturday night. The public is invited to attend. Clocks. —The largest stock of clocks in this market is kept at Leopold & Fendig’s. They are also the best and cheapest. Any one in need of a good •timekeeper will consult his or her interest by looking at (his assortment before making a purchase. Call at the Stone Store. Two Groceries.--Charley Starr < took possession ol Mr. W. J. lines’ groceries in the Shanghai building this week. He is now proprietor of two stores in Rensselaer, both groceries and by this means is able to keep up a healthy competition between Liberal Corner and the Shanghai. For a while it wilt be “nip and tuck” between tlie (wo stores to ascertain which can sell the cheapest and most. Spiritualism.—A Spiritualistic lecturer, Kenyan by name, has given public lectures at the Court House in this place during the past week. It seems to be a general impression among those who have listened to liiru that he does not advance tlie “religio-seience” very much. His pretended reading of personal character by psycho-phrenology was grossly inaccurate, except, perhaps, in one or two instances. Shade Trees.—Messrs. Thos. J. Spitler and John M. Austin planted out shade trees yesterday along the fronts of their property on Washington street. This is well and should be imitated by others. The variety planted by these gentlemen is the soft ipanlej a very hardy, rapid growing, and beautiful tree. A town ordinance prohibits the use of shade trees for hitching posts.and those violating said •ordinance nee liable to fiue and costs of prosecution. Very De a r.—Al Ikl nd of provisions are unusually dear in Rensselaer this spring. Potatoes retail at the rate of $1.75 a bushel and are scarce, there are very few green apples offered, butter is twenty-five Slid thirty cents a pound, flour $9 a barrel, bacon sides twelve and a half cents a pound, country cured hams fifteen cents a pound, beef, some of it pretty tough, too,sells at 8 to 12J cents a pound fresh Eggs are plenty at ten cents and the only aeasonable priced article of diet offered. Yesterday corn sold for sixty cents a bushel and from forty-five to fifty cents.is the price of oats. Grangers certainly ought not to complain this spring. 4, * ....... ...... Spruce Up.—ln the spring of the year when Nature awakens out of the state of torper in which she sleeps through the the winter months, and . Jbegins to clothe herself with verdure and flowery civalized mankind feel as though it was proper to spruce up about their habitations. At (.his season scrubbing, papering and painting goes on indoors, white repairing, painting, etc., is the programme outside. This tijne brirf|?s people to ask "where good paints and appropriate paper hangings nre kept. In Rensselaer these articles may be found at Kahnal's drug store, south side of Washington street, two doors below the bank. Read his advertisement in another column, and call and see his assortment of these articles.

Silversmith,—A young gentleman engaged in wateh repairing, etc., has hung out his sign from Starr’s grocery at LibefCrtorner. ~ * Tropical Fr6it.—For orangesand lemdna go -to Jfarding & Chesnut’s drug store. They have as fine specimens of these fruits as are toTe found in any northern town. Writing School.—Complimentary reports reach us about the writing school now being condusted in this place by Professer Elza Phillips. Elza is a Rensselaer man, and we are glad to learn of his success. Garden Seeds.—There is the largest quantity and coinpietest assortment of garden Steeds offered .in this place this season that was ever seen here. Many varieties are cheap enough, but white onion sets bring the fabulous price of forty cents a quart. New Sign.—Hold up your head when you come to town, and see our new sign. It was painted by uncle Henry C. Smith, the old reliable sign painter who hasdonebusinessin Rensselaer for more than twenty years. Give him a eall when you wantasign painted or general painting done. Central Association —The regular monthly meeting of Patrons of Husbandry, for March 1874, will be held in the Court House next. Saturday at 1 o’clock p. M. It is particularly desired that there be a general attendance of Masters of subordinate Granges, as business of importance is to be presented for their consideration. School Report.—Mr. E. J. Lefler, teacher of Hanging Grove school No. 1, reports for the month ending March 2()th. an enrollment, of 17 pupils, with an average attendance’of nearly T2l. The pupils perfect in punctuality,recitat'on and conduct were John Rishling, Charles Rishling, Barbara Risiding, Jesse Lefler,. William Lefler, Olive Lefler and Flora Lefler. Played Out.—Horseshoe pitching doesnot see nt toma+tnain its popularity with the industrial class of this community. As warmer days come this classic occupation is abandoned for 1 lie m<ira..re.numeratiye.one <>f marble playing. As an industry, the latter seems to he the most absorbing in interest to the beautiful young gentlemen of this town of any yet introduced. '' ■T 7 _—> 4, School Trustee.— At their meeting on the sixth ‘lay of April, among other business to be tlaiisaeted by the Board of Trustees for the town of Rensselaer, will be the appointment of a Trustee in the school board to succeed Horace E. James. The appointee will hold his office for three years and should be selected from among those have a personal interest in the selectionof good teachers, and in the economical expenditure of public funds. The other members of the school board as it is at present constituted, hold over—Mr. Thompson for one year longer, and Mr. Coen for two years. Both of.ihese gentlemen have : proven themselves competent men in i the jiositicn they-eerupy, and they exhibit a lively interest in school afiiiirs. If the person selected to act with them ! is as well qualified as they are, there . will be little complaint about the! management of school affairs in this place while they condole. , . Thu-Dam Meeting.—The meeting of those who are advocating the removal of the Hopkins mill dam across the Iroquois river at this place in order to drain lands that are affected by ; Its back flow of water, which was ! held at the Court House last Saturday afternoon, though not largely attended,was quite interesting. Several persons spoke upon the subject under consideration, and Mr. John Phillips, of Hanging Grove township, made some important disclosures relative to a suit which he brought several years ago against the parties who own the (lam in order to have it abated as a nuisance. The principal points of Mr. Phillips’ statement were that there never had been a writ of,ad quo damnum issued by the courts, that the dam is an unlawful obstruction, that during the progress of his suit ex-1 ’perts testifiedptwas injurious to the health of the people living in its . neighborhood, and also that he Would undoubtedly have obtained a judgment in his favor had not he dismissed ' the suit upon the personal solicitation of Mr. Hopkins, who represented that the removal of the dam would be his financial ruin as he had recently in-. vested all his money in the purchase of the mill privilege, which, at that time would have been worthless without its water power. Mr. David Nowels, president of the Iroquois Ditching company being present, also Mr. Thos. Boroughs the treasurer, and D. H. Yeoman, clerk, tlrey were asked if their organization would not extemj its working jurisdiction to include the obstructions in the Iroquois at Rensselaer. They replied thatthey would coaeult with the other members of their company and return an answer next Saturday (March 28th). A motion was made and carried that in ease this company would not extend their territorial jurisdiction then those interested in draining the lands affected by the overflow of this dam would organize a draining company afid proceed to. do the work themselves. And it is probable the result will be according to the latter proposition. Seed Oats.—A. D. Swain one mile north of town, has 300 bushels of extra heavy oats to sell. JFhey are sonnd, clean and dry.
