Somebody drove into town the other day with a horse said to be over twenty-onsvyears old. The team was jin town 'ortiy * few minutes before :several candidates gathered around to ;pat the horse’s face, tickle his sides, •and aaggest that he ought to be pensioned. “A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind.” For three days past the air has been filled with a thick, smoky vapor. It was said that the earth would pass through the comet’s tail during these days, and that its atmosphere would in consequence'‘present such ail ap-pearance-like Indian summer; but Air. J. W. Hogan states that extensive fires have been burning on the niurshes along the Kankakoe river, nhd the papers report vast forests in flames near Baganaw, Michigan, and as the wind prevailed from that direction these statements afford at least as plusible theory with whioh to account for a phenomenon unusual at this season of the year, L ®* * * A letter from Mrs. Eliza A. Lewis, 4ated Fairvilie, Saline county, Missouri, Just 17th, 1874, brings the sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. Emeline I.

For relief fropi aching molars, call on W. J. Orain, Dentist, at Harding A Chesuut’s drugstore.

The Remington Journal says something about Father Babb being too pobr to advertise. Give him a good word anyhow, Mr. Journal, in behalf of one of his old guests.—Valparaiso Vidette. Father Babb said to us the other day that lie had just paid off the last debt that lie owed in the world, and he seemed to be very much pleased about it. He lias a good hotel prop* _er(y well furnished in a thriving town, sets a good table, keeps clean beds, is popular with the traveling public, and is as affable, gentle, accommodating and solicitous for the coinfort of his guests as in days of yore. This is no paid puff, but a just tribute to a really fine gentleman and a meritorious old landlord. Judge Talcott, if you or any other good people of Valparaiso ever have business in Remington, and want board or lodging, or both, of good quality and for fair price, stop at the Babb House, north side of the railroad, opposite of the depot. Rev. \V. W. Curry,. Secretary of State and Republican candidate for re-election, is billed to speak in Rensselaer on t lie Ist day of August. At that time delegates are to be appointed for the Republican Representative, Senatorial and Congressional Conventions in which the people of Jasper county are directly interested. It is quite probable that strenuous efforts will lie made by the county officers who failed to obtain a nomination on tlie People’s ticket and are soreheaded about it, together with their Ring friends, to make this meeting rather more respectable in point of numbers than their spring, fizzle was It is also possible that some understanding will then be arrived at in regard to the status of tlie Monopoly party in Jasper county; ns well as tlie relation it bears to those men it placed in office" who are now candidates, subject to tlie decision of tlie people at the October election. Mr. Curry is a minister of the gospel by profession, a very good speaker, and should have a large audience to hear his apology for tlie Republican party. It is reported to us that an officer of Jasper county who wants another term at (lie public crib is trying to excite public sympathy and make a little electioneering capital by circulating tlie story that The Union will not publish bis explanation of the | reason why Jasper county taxes,were | so much .higher last ycai than tliegoneral ayerage 11irouahout the SUitc. —- It is not true that we ever refused to publish anything for him; indeed The Union would he gkul to know why it costs the people of Jasper county more for taxes than it costs ~poopwdtt-se von ty-n in e-other conn Ib'S_ in tlie State, and any communication shedding light upon this matter will lie. cheerfully published in these columns With hut charge. The subject of taxation is one of great interest to every person in community, and the discussion of it promises to enter 1 a.eely into the polltioal enmpaign in Jasper county this season. The public have a right to inspect the nets of public officers, and are entitled to definite, respectful answers. As a medium of public information, The Union respectfully asks, Why were taxes so much higher in Jasper county last year than in nearly eight-ninths of the counties in live State?
