String beans and cholera morbus are now relished by domestic epicures. Chinch bugs are becoming a burthen in the grain fields of Jasper county. ■■ ■■ * 1 • The lady who lost a drab colored, Lisle thread gauntlet can recover it at this office, where it was left by Master W illey Harding. Mr. James Spencer tells us that the drug trade is commencing to revive at Remington, and druggists and doctors are begining to look cheerful. Mr. Lucius Strong, trustee of Newton township, wants a school house built in the George Thornton neighboihood. See advertisement. Most farmers in Jasper county who have wheat fields worth cutting tills year, are already harvesting. Harvest is fully ten days earlier than usual. Mr. Simon Phillips has the best field of com we have seen this year. It is even, as high as an ordinary man’s shoulders, and will soon begin to tassel. Early cherries have ripened and are pretty much all gathered. They were not very large nor plenty, and not many were sold in town this season. Union Grange No. 33 picnics in Sayers’ Grove, four miles north of Rensselaer, on the glorious Fourth. — Everybody invited to attend ami bring their dinners. Professors of temperance take their rattlesnake kite antidote straight, in the rear of Goddard’s bakery, in front of one of the windows of this office. Some try to swallow bottle and all. That comet is now plainly visible to the unassisted eye of curiosity. It frisks a luminous tail about fifteen inches long right agkinst the legs of the great bear in the northwestern heavens. Green chickens large enough to yeep plain and eat ripe currants came to town with their legs tied this week, and were quickly gobbled by proprietors of dainty stomachs, who had them fowlly cremated. A small sized tornado passed south and southeast of here last Saturday, which blew down fences and uprooted trees in its course. Rain deluged the strip of country over which it passed, some hail fell, and the lightning was terrific. W. W. Foster, formerly in the marble business, is now engaged in the lumber trade. His lumber yard is east of Butler A Burger’s, Remington, Indiana, where he has a brisk trade. Those who favor competition should call on him. Success to him. After having been discontinued for many years, the Saltillo post office was revived yesterday. It is on the Rensselaer and Francesville post route, in Barkley township, is about four miles east of the Pleasant Grove post office, and Mr. Tannahill is post master. Bland and gentle huckleberries are brought ten or fifteen miles to this market and sold for ten cents a quart, notwithstanding Congress adjourned without making an appropriation for celebrating the centennial anniversa-, ry of American independence. r s m r ■ 1 - " At a regular meeting of the Odd Fellows last Tuesday evening, they elected by acclamation, for the ensuing term of Bix months, Dr. Moses B. Alter, Noble Grand ; Nathaniel W. Reeve, Vice Grand; Ira W. Yeoman, Recording Secretary; Garrett W. Terihune, Treasurer. -Farmers are "laying by” their corn preparatory to entering their harvest .fields on the 6th of July. Corn fields jOever before-covered so large a scope <ot territory in this oeunty, nor looked ,cleaner of weeds or gave better promise of a good crop at this time of the .year.. *SK» .. ' f 'V Six marriage licenses were issued by .the clerk of Jasper county during the .crematory month of June. The brave parties were: Ransome O. McCouahay and Emma Rmyn. Jeptba Boicourt and Elizabeth and Evva E. Stoner. Dwiggins and Estella M. Pu'reupite. Jeremiah Miller and Charlotte Pass. 4- Charles Tall man, Jr. and Nellie WClou well.

Early potatoes sold in Rensselaer last Saturday for $2 a bushel, but the jolly druggists did not charge any more next day for cathartic remedies wrapped in a bottle oh that account though there was great demand for peppermint lozenges and roasted coffee next evening. The mail routes to Rensselaer were changed yesterday according to previous announcement. The Bradford route was discontinued and the Francesville route substituted for it. The Remington route changed hands, and also the time for the arrival and departure'ofmaiTsoveFlt was changed. It is common report that Hon. R. S. Dwiggins will visit New York City in a week or ten days to look after the collection of money due contractors for work done on the Continental Railroad Company's road bed. The claims have been audited and allowed and their payment was guaranteed by the president of the company nearly two years ago. A horse thief passed through here one day last week in custody of officers who captured him near Watseka, 111., with the stolen property in his possession, and were taking him to Peru. Constable J. W. Duvall, of this place was one of the capturing party. Telegrams received by Mr. Duvall state that he was indicted, tried and convicted. Emiline L. Switzer, teacher of Brushwood school, Union township, reports for month ending June lQth an enrollment of 40 pupils, and an average attendance of 26. Three will never forgive her for punishing them corporally, and eight suffered dicipline by deprivation. Nine pupils delved into the mysteries of arithmetic, one traveled in geography, one read the storied pages of history, and one reveled amid the architectural beauties of grammar. - Mr. Jesse McAllister addressed a small audience of voters at the Court House in this place, last Saturday.— He is a plain spoken farmer, who sees that the tendency of the times is to exhalt capital and oppress labor; and being a man whose heart and sympathies are with the laboring classes he feels that they should arouse themselves to a full comprehension of the dangers which seem to threaten them. Politicians, office holders, and office seekers may attempt to ridicule his positions and aflSct to despise his warnings, but people who pay taxes to have good government and* who aspire to no preferment for themselves i.will credit Mr. McAllister with earnestness; sincerity, and purity of purpose, and these people will give his counsel due consideration when they come tp vote. The board of appraisers appointed by the commissioners of Jasper county to assess tlie benefits and damages that are likely to accrue to lands which will be affected by the contemplated ditching operations of the Jasper County Draining Association, completed their field labors Tuesday, and are now making up estimates.— They have been very thorough thus far, having visited every forty acre tract that could be leached and taken extensive notes of its present natural condition. There is no doubt they will make as fair and accurate assessments as it is possible for anybody to make. There could not have been a more honorable board of appraisers selected in the county, and probably no gentlemen of sounder judgment, or whose decisions would be less liable to be unduly influenced by the opinions of interested persons. Certainly thus far the Draining Association has proceeded according to law as nearly as they qjiderstand it, and all their movements indicate an honest intention to benefit The lands in the region where their work is to be, and at as small expense as possible to the owners. &

REPORT OF RAILROAD TAX REFUNDED. Stale of Indiana, Jasper county, ss: Commissioners’Court, Juue term,1874.. To the Honorable, the Board of Commissioners of Jasper County, Indiana : The undersigned herewith submits to yonr Board the books and papers showing the plan adopted by him to execute the order of your Board, made at the last December term iu relation to refunding the tax levied and collected to aid in the construction of the Fort Wayne and Pacific Railroad ; and, also, the following statement of the condition of the fund thus held in trust by the county: At the time your order to refund was made, there had been collect'd and paid into the treasury from the assessment, (only the net amount of collections on duplicate of 1870 can be given,} $47,519 18 Interest collected and paid in by L. W, Henkle.... 192 64 Total $47,711 88 There had been paid out at the same time as foUowi: On account of election services $ 36 13 Making railroad duplicate of 1871, and interest on warrants therefor 257 95 Treasurer’s fees for collections, except the fees for collections on duplicate of 1870, which I am not able to ascertain from the records of ray office 362 56 Refunded by order of the Board ,17 91 Erroneous taxes refunded on warrants of the Auditor 7 51 — $ 683 06 Leaviug net amount in the treasury at the time wd begin to refund $17,029 76 Up to aud including this date 2,526 refunding warrants have been drawn on the treasury .amounting to $44,011 94 Of thiaamouut there was refunded for money erroneously drawn on affidavit of’claimant ». 10 09 i Net amount of disbursements to this date. $44,001 85 Leaving amount in tressu ry in excess of warrants drawn ...... $ 3,027 91 The Borrd will notice that the amount remaining in the treasury is divided into small claims, many of them leas than one dollar and few reaching to ten dollars. As these several amounts belong mostly t 6 nonresidents a considerable portion of it, no doubt, will be forfeited to the county fund under the two years clause of the law authorising the refunding ; so that there is now no probable loss to accrue to the people of the county on account of this money passing through their treasury. - - , Thus far no valid claim has been presented for money that has not reached the treasury. In cases whew there have been claims for greater amounts than was charged upon the duplicate, of which cfeas there lum been several, the ruling of this office has been uniformly to refund only the amount charged upon the record, even when the claim was baaed upon the' treasurer's receipt. The grounds for such ruling will be readily understood by persona acqnsinted with the principles of law governing snch (Aymeats. * v Respectfully submitted, Rrnseclsrr, Indians, June sth, 1874.
