mm .1 .J- ..p... ■■ 1 "B 1., 3} T.V . Cheap.— Baker’s harnesses are bfeeap; mid they are good, too, as well. Veil.—A black, tisane veil was found is town a tew mornings since, which the owner may recover at this office. Work.—-The time of year has come when the Marshal goes to work on the streets, and now the spade and shovel brigade whistles merrily through the day. Meetings.—A series of interesting meetings was commenced at the Christian Church, last Sfttiiriiay evening, by Elder Reed, of Chicago. They are id be continued over Sunday. Among the Assessobs.—Father Dunlap was also among the deputy Essors at their meeting for instruclast Saturday. A more polite Igentiemau could not have been selectfed 4m the town. Another School.— Miss Matie Howard will open ft private school lu the School House at Rensselaer, next Monday (6th inst.) Tuition fee $2 for a term of ten weeks, one-half in advance, the balance at end of term. Shade Trees.— M. D. Rhoads, Dr. Lioughridge, Widow Morris, John P.

Pup Lost.—Dr. Martin will pay a liberal reward for the recovery of a shepherd pup that strayed from home two weeks ago. Said rup was about aix months old, brindle brown color, with erect ears that drooped a little at their tips. Gone.— Mr. Patrick Barton moved to Aydelotte in Benton County, on Tuesday morning. Pat, is an Indus’ trious person and a good mechanic. We hope to hear that the people at his new home give the blacksmith a fair sight for his labor. Goeth Out as a Lion.—March, 1874, 'Came lu as mild and pleasant as could be wished for, but the latter days thereof were stormy and very disagreeable. The first day of April was fair and hopeful, but this morning feels like incipient winter. Refused s4s.—Mr. John M. Austin that distinguished appearing gentleman boarding at one of the popular hotels in this place, owns a yearling ’ steer that tips the beam at 1,100 pounds. He was offered $45 for the calf the other day, and refused the bribe. Return Them.—The person who took a pair of gloves and whip out of *ny buggy, while standing near the Christian Church last Sunday even- , ing, will return them if lie would not be exposed, as the joke is now getting old. Berry Paris. Papers.—Our thanks are Here by” returned to Thomas Antrim, Little Valley, Kansas, for a late number of the McPherson (Kas ) Messenger; to Mayor D. C. Casey, Arkadelphia, Arkansas, for Arkansas papers; and to A? W. Cleveland* for Cleveland (O.) papers. 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 this assortment before making a purchase. Call at the Stone Store. Blank Books and Stationery.— The attention of dealers in blank books and stationery is directed to the Auditor’s advertisement in another column of this paper Jasper county ■desires to obtain these articles as cheap as possible and to this end will receive bids from dealers. Error. —Mart. V. B. Warner, the butcher, (and one of the honestest men east of Kansas.) says fresh beef iu til is market has not sold higher than tea cents a pound for the last two years, whether it was tough or tender; consequently our quotation last week of Cents was an error, or, If true, then has Mart lost lots of money by failing to collect the extra 2} cents poumj.-—[Advertisement. P/Awtef'ft fee 10 cents a line.] t)N the War Path. —lt iscurrentiy reported that the Grangers of Jasper county have decided to meet on the last Saturday in April for the purpose of discussing whether they will Dominate a ticket for the fall elections 'or not. Still it must be remembered that the Grange is not a political organization, and that political subjects ' are not discussed in the subordinate granges. It is generally understood j that all the present officers of Jasper county who are likely to be candidates for reelectiou are members of the Order. Preliminary WoitK.-Mr. Miller, engineer of the Iroquois Ditching Company, together with a number of assistants, went out last week and ran A line from a short distance below Mr. Alter’a'mill to a point three or four miles above, in order to ascertain the amount of fall that eould be ob'tallied by removing obstruction*. He found about seventeen feet fall ih ft distance of five miles, nearly ten feet of which is at the mill-dam. The Company will put on a full engineer force next Monday; to survey, take levyls and draft profile* of the work.

) Mad as March Hares.— Marriagi ' licenses were issued by the clerk o Jasper county during the month o March, 1874, to the following persons i Charles W. Gibbs and Eva H. Til ton. William McEwen and Narcissui Lacoumpt. I james Peregrine apd Emma McCoy Albert Summer* and Sarah C i Freelß. “ Joseph Crowden and Marietta Har mon. Joseph Kissinger and Eliza B. Mil ■ ler. 1 j William W. White and Julletti Nelson. - ■■ "'I ■ Fizzled Out.— The movemen towards removing obstruction* aorosi 1 the lioquois river at Rensselaer,, lnau gurated several weeks since by partie/ who think their lands are damagec by the back flow of water from th< Hopkihs mill-dam, has probably goin the way of half a dozen spasmodic predecessors of like character, and resulted in nothing but tillk and grambling. Last Saturday, at the meeting held to receive the answer of the Iroquois Ditching company, wnicli hao been invited by them to extend it* jurisdiction and work so as to include this territory, the compauy returned a negative answer; and after a shori conference without positive results, the meeting adjourned and made nc further appointments. Snow.— Quite a flurry of snow came down ou the short grass and low hay stacks of farmers in Jasper county, day before yesterday. The corn crop was not very heavy last season but a large quantity of good hay wa# secured, and people thought they would have enough feed to winter their stock in good condition; and so they would have had under ordinary circumstances. But the financial panic came just as their surplus cattle were ready for market, prices fell fiat and buyers withdrew, and an unusually large number were left in the fields to be wintered as best they might. The result of this is that feed is now scarce and stock looks thin, although there was a mild, pleasant winter; in consequence of which snow storms are not the most acceptable weather that could be desired. Come Out. —Next Saturday there will be a meeting of the Stockholders of the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association held in the Court House in Reusselaer, at 2o’clock p. m. The object of this meeting is to elect a Board of Directors for the ensuing year. As the Board of Directors choose the officers of the Association from among their own number it will be seen how important it is to have u full attendance of those interested in the welfare of the organization. Put in an active, energetic body of men with discrimination and good judgment for directors, and the result wilt be a suacessful fair next fall, affording gratification to exhibitors and visitors, and which \vi. 1 stimulate the great agricultural and mechanical industries •of our county to still further efforts for improvement. Narrow Escape.—Rensselaer had a narrow esca|>e from -an_extensiveconflagration on Monday night. By some means a fire*was started at the north westcornerof Mr. Alfred Thompson’s block, corner of Washington and Front streets, known as the ‘‘Liberal Corner" block, at the rear of the room occupied by Mr. R. F. Goddard as an eating house. It is supposed that somebody went back there in the eveniug with a lighted pipe and dropped fire out of It upon some dry sawdust and chips, which, after burning even under the frame of the building and scorching the weather boarding, went out of itself. Had the fire got under headway to any extent, it is very doubtful if a building on the north side of Washington street could have been saved, and the business part of town would hare been destroyed. Mass Convention.— The Republicans of Jasper couuty are requested to meet in Mass Convention on Saturday, April 18th, 1874, at 1 o’clock p. M., at the Court House iu Rensselaer, for the purposes: Ist. To select delegates to the Republican State Convention to be held at Indianapolis June 17th, 1874. 2d. To organize the Countv Central Committee. 3d. To attend to such business as may properly come before the Couvention. All who feel interested in Republican principles, the selection of good men for office, and the adoption of right measures are earnestly invited to attend and participate iu the meeting. By order of the Central Committee of Jasper county. E. L. Clark, March 30tb. 1874. Chairman. Removal.—Having returned our stock of boo to and shoes into the room one door west of our dry goods store, where it was kept last season, and rej cently made large additions to our choice and extensive stock, we are j now prepared to sell boots and shoes ,as cheap a* any house in town. Our stock is new and complete in all the branches of boots and shoes forspring and summer wear. We have ou hand the largest and best selected stock in tbit market.

THE ’.INTEH-OCEA*. 1878. _ 1874. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE NORTHWEST. riIKI\TKM(KA* fob 1874 Established leas than two yearn since as* » representative Republican paper, pledged to maintain and defend the prinriplae and .organization of the great National Republican party, the Intkr-Ocian has attqlued a circa-' Is lion and influence with the masses ol its, voters everywhere to entitle it to approach the commencement of a new calendar year and tOrepafe for the preliminary .work of the campaign/tKe'rtiadlow tfltfeh IF already.essfiitg Itself'tipbh lif the confident belief thitt ft! friends will tife<( no other specific pledge for the f dtarb IfiatE;’ has been given In its colomtu from day Id day during the past eighteen months Sines its first publication it has maintained the position of THE LEADING REEUBLICAN NEWSPAPER IN THE NORTHWEST, to which It was assigned by universal ament. In the excited canvass which resulted in the second and triumphant election of President Graut. THE EN EMIES OF THE COUNTRY are vigilantly at work. tfle overt whelming rebuke administered yet, them Id: 1873, tbe opposition are skillfully massing their forces for a more determined onslaught upon the Republican organization lit the jievi SiatO and Natloual elections. Encouraged by the upstby Of Republicans in the “offyear,” setting the unprecedented fititfnciif stringency as a pretext, and using ad a Hood ; wiuk the deep feeliug atliong the agricultural, classes for better aud cheaper inodes <tf irmsportatiou than now exist, THE DEMOCRACY, under as many names as there are hungry Demagogues eager for office, is getting Itself into readiness to become once more the Ruling Party of the nation. IN THE 80UTH the. old D, moentcy of Secession and ftebel {.’ ion is being warmed iuto life by the apparent reverses Rspubiicaniam has suffered in the' North. Tne election of Allen ia Ohio the triumph of Tammany in New York, and the few desultory successes which have come to/ A rtl-Republican tickets in various portions, of the W.-st and Northwest, have inspired the rebels of lßfl with the hope that the day/ is dawning when tbe Lost Cause is to be foted Into a victory they failed to achieve by meaufl of the bullet and bayonet. Already R. M, T. Huuter, a former Seneior from a member of the Cabinet of Jeff Davis, has publish'd his scheme for the virtual payment of

Four Hundred Million* of Dollars for the Emancipated Slave* of the Bonth, The Richmond <Va.) Whig and Governor. Gilbert Walker are urging this.plan with all pertinacity! dud there can be little doubt that a large party of SoUlberu Representative) in the Forty-third Congress will be prepare? Iff advocate the payment of this money by the Geuerai Government.
