Those who lay down this paper without reading the report about Mr. J. B. Spangle, will not have read all the news. Farmers near Remington proudly exhibit stalks of blue grass that have reached an altitude of four feet this season. New, neat and nobby are the cuffs, collars and other furnishing goods for gentlemen’s wear, at Jolmnj Hemphill’s store.

Dr. Martin has diagnosed the condition of the patient and gives it as his solemn opinion that his ebrn crib is situated in an unhealthy location to receive visitors after night.

A.t the residence of tho bride’s father in Gillain township, on the 16th instant, Rev. J. W. Gillain married Rev. J. Boicourt to Miss Elizabeth Mason. With this notice came a liberal share of toothsome cake, for which complimentary remembrance the toiling printers wish tho parties a long, useful and happy life. Mrs, Alfred Thompson has the finest floral collection in Rensselaer — possibly in the county. One bed on the lawn contains one hundred hybrid roses, now in full bloom.

Hunt, of Gillam township, has one of the. finest herds of young, cattle in Jasper county; the Rayburn boys liuye the host -prespeet for wheat in Gillam township; aiid that Mr. Eli,Paris thinks his wheat will yield a gbod deal more than an average number of bushels this season. 1 Having sold the thoroughbred hull I recently bought at Waukegan, my old bull will be brought home again from Mr. A.
