THE RENSSELAER UNION.

Thursday, September 10, 1874.

The Remington Journal is dead. Rumor says there will soon be another tinshop in Rensselaer. Notions are made a specialty by the new firm of F. J. Sears & Co. New livery stable in town; stock and proprietors from Kansas City. All who are indebted to F. W. Bedford will please call and settle without further delay. A pocket-book, containing valuables, was fotinii recently and left at llijs office for identification. V Very fine native peaches, fresh from the trees, were sold in this market yesterday for $1.50 a bushel. Mr. David L. Green, of Wichita, Kansas, was married to Mrs. Jaley A. Parkison last Sunday, by Rev. R. T. Pressly. Being solicited by a number of voters, Jonathan Peacock will be a candidate for Trustee of Marion township.

Mr. J. Horn is back again in Rensselaer and will mend guns, locks, safes, etc. Established at Erwin’s blacksmith shop, A band of Gipsies drove through town Tuesday and camped about half ft toile down the Yiver. They were driving fine teams. Last Sunday morning Justice E. T. Harding married Mr. George W. Rodgers to Miss Eleanor A., daughter of John Karsner, Esq. For the year ending May, 1874, there were 61 teachers licensed in Jasper county—24 males and 37 females ; 57 applications were rejected. Old papers that are not mutilated

for eale at this office for ten cents a dozen; this is the cheapest and most diversified reading matter that can be bought. At the Delphi meeting last week C6I. Healey and Dr. James Ritchey were elected Directors of the Indianapolis, Delphi & Chicago railroad, for Jasper county. Mr. David H. Yeoman declines to serve as a member of the Jasper County Republican Central Committee, and requested publication to be made of this fact. Tne total tuition revenue apportioned to Jasper county for the year ending June 31st, 1874, was $9,715.18, The number of school children was 2,908 at last enumeration. Vernon, infant son of Ezra L, and Myrtle Z. Clark, died Tuesday.— The sympathy of hearts that have been wrung by like afflictions goes out to these mourning parents. Neighboring papers announce that a joint political discussion wiH be held at Rensselaer, on the 9th day of October, by Messrs. W. H, Calkins and W. 8, Haymond, candidates for Congress. Seventeen appeals from assessments of tire Jasper County Ditching Company have been filed with the Clerk of the Jasjitr Circuit Court. Only one appellant, Mr, Isaac V. Alter, is a resident of the county. 'j he Misses M. & J. Hogan, milliners and-dre.-s makers, have sold out to Mrs. .8. A. Hemphill and closed their establishment in Rensselaer. All who are indebted to them are request<^i to call and settle as early as possible. u Mr. W. S. Bedford has a small but select stock of notions which he sells at auction or private sale. He receives goods to sell on commission, and will cry sales in the country. Win is a good, industrious, gentlemanly person who is'deserving of pat ronage. Last year there was 21,762 tons of hay put tip in Jasper county. She ranked fifth on tire list of hay-pro-dneing counties of the State. The counties ahead of her were, Sullivan 47,695 tons, Lake 44,'535 tons, Porter 29,315 tons, Switzerland 23,265 tons.— Jasper is reported to have produced 7 tons of hemp.(probably flax).

On the first day of June, 1874, there were SI? mules in Jasper county, 4,148 horses, and 21,479 head of cattle. We stand tenth on the list in the State for number of cattle. The counties above ns are: Owen 55,131, Tippecanoe 27,564, Putnam 26,545, White 25,854, Montgomery 25,564, Franklin 24,472, Kosciusko 24,279, Allen 24,258, Lake $1,561. __

Mr. William Greenfield will please accept thanks of the editors for a large basket of grapes, They were Clintons; well ripened; large, compactclusters without speck or blemish ; highly flavored; and nice as' this very nice fruit ever grows. Mr. Greenfield tells us that he has had splendid success cultivating grapes on> 4ikpllace‘. Mr. B‘. F. T-Tndefwoou, of Boston, Mass., will deliver three lectures in Rensselaer on the evenings of October 2d, 3d and 4th. First evening the subject will be ‘’Fallacies and Assumptions of Theologians Regarding (he Bible and Christianity.” Second evening “Evolution vs. Creation.”— Third evening “What Liberalism Offers as a Substitute for Christianity.” Lectures free to the public. _ i Auditor of State will soon publish a rteport of thd crop statistics of Indiana, showing the amount of grain’ produced in each county last year, together with the acreage planted last spring. A table taken from this report recently appeared in the Indiajnapolis Journal which shows that in ^Jasper county last year there was ^produced 11,729 bushels of - wheat, 83,02$ bushels of oats, and 278,127 bushels of corn,’ The acreage planted this season was as follows: Wheat, 3^36B.agres; oata, 4,967 acres: corn,

A St. Louis physician stopping at the Central Hotef id this place advertises that he cured a man 6'f “womb disease” and a woman of “semifiaj weakness,” and claims to have certificates to prove it. The Court House Ring better eiiiploy him to doctor their case, for it is in as bad condition as either of those patients. The Lowell Star saj’s, “E. Farley started with his picture car for Rensselaer last Tuesday. He is a good artist and a tip-top fellow, and we dare recommend him to the tender mercies of the Rensselaer people.”— From that description the craft anchored opposite this office is recognized. Its captain and crew look like tip-top people. They have come to a pleasant port. Brother Johnson brought over his press and printing material from Remington, day before yesterday, and set it up in a room in the "Shanghai” building, in rear of Zimmerman’s tailor shop. Up stairs, second door to the right. He will issue the first number of his jbapgr next week. It will be called the Rensselaer Republican, ajid be conducted in the interest of the Court House Ring. Please notice when you come to Rensselaer that Mr. Ralph Fendig has one of the largest, finest, best and cheapest stocks of dry goods, clothing, shawls, skirts, boots, shoes, hats, caps, etc., ever placed on sale in Jasper county. Best prints of latest styles for 10 cents a yard, and all other goods at corresponding prices. Don’t leave town without calling at the Stone Store and getting a bargain.— See advertisement.

A worthy member of the Hon. Board of Commissioners of Jasper County^rgmarked to a friend the other day, it is told, that “we must crush out the Rensselaer Union.” If this worthy old gentleman will devote a small portion of his extra enterprise to devising a plan that shall decrease local taxes and transfer Jasper from the list of highest taxed 'counties in th& State he will accomplish something of far greater value to his constituents than if he should ‘’crush out” a dozen papers whose oftending is to speak for the people, and oppose mismanagement and incompetency of public officers. Judge Poland, of Vermont, tried the experiment of “crushing out” newspapers with results to himself that causes consternation in the breasts of Senat-' or Pratt and every either Republican implicated in the passage of that infamous measure known as the newspaper “gag law,” whose seat in Congress depends upon the elections to be held this fall. The paper that advocates the people’s interests under all cireumstunees and at all times, without fear of parties, cliques or rings, deserves a better fate than that of being “crushed out.”

Dissolution of Partnership.

Rensselaek, Ino , Aug. 22,1'874. The copartnership heretofore existing between (be undersigned under the firm name of Leopold & Fendig, has this day been dissolved by mutual ctmseht. A. Leopold has all notes and aetottofs to *olleet ( nud R. Fendig returns ‘he business and pays all liabilities of the firm. A. Leopold. R. Fendig.

Nothe. AH persons knowing themselves indebted to (he late firm of Leopold & F'ondig will please come forward and settle with me either by note or otherwise, as I am bound by agreement to use due diligence in making said collections. A. Leopold,

The Grange Rally.

Last Thursday was cloudy and rainy in the forenoon, and theatened to be bad weather all day. However, notwithstanding its unfavoroble appearenee, a large number of people .assembled to listen to the speakers who had been invited to address them. Hon. James Buchanan, of Indianapolis, Hon. W. D. Lee, of Lafayette, and Hon. Anson Wolcott, of White county, were the speakers. Mr. Buchanan commenced his speech in Weston grove, north side of town, where a speaker’s stand had been put up. About two o’clock, half an hour after speaking had commenced, it began to rain again, when they adjourned to the Court House, which, though the largest available hall" in town, was altogether too small to contain a fourth part of those who camo to the rally. Mr. Buchanan occupied about two hours altogether, and was enthusiastically cheered. Mr. Lee spoke for about half an hour, and Mr. Wolcott closed with a pointed review of the position occupied by the Congressional nominees of the District.— Probably 1,200 or 1,500 people were present, and good order and best of feeling prevailed. There is not a doubt bpt. that the people of Jasper county have experienced a wonderful revolution in their political views .during the last year, which' was brought about partly by Ring proscription and incompetent management Of local affairs, but chiefly on account of the corruption everywhere found in the Republican party, its flagrant violation of promises and professions, its usurpations, and its constant tendency to legislate in the interest of capital arid against the laboring classes. The Court Mouse Ring understands this fefeling and is laboring with Herculean energy to prevent the maturing of its legitimate fruits, but the indications npw ate strong that the Independents will carry the county by a handsome majority next month, and annihilate the arrogant Ring w ^jch fattens at I the county seat upon the tribute of

Grange meeting.

Delegates of Prairie Farmers’ Union Central Association of Patrons of Husbandry, will assemble at their hall in Francesville, Indiana, on Saturday September 19th, 1874, to consult together and perfect arrangements folbolding a Grange picnic at Francesville about the Bth day of October. John G. Culp, Pres’t Ass’c’n.

To the Public.

Having held the office of County Commissioner of the Second District for many years I thought that I ought not to ask Jt longer; but having been run by both conventions without any solicitation or authority from me, and having been urged by my friends to do so, I have consented to serve another term if elected.

WM. K. PARKISON.

Remington Items.

Elder D. T. Halstead will preach in the Presbyterian church at Remington on the 20th instant. Mr. Isaac M. Lamborn will make a sale on the 14th instant. He contemplates moving to Kansas this fall. Th4re is not a nicer, neater, or more convenient Masonic Hall in Northern Indiana than the new one recently furnished at Remington. During the-month of August,- 1874, 3,078,471 pounds of freight were forwarded from the railroad office at Remington, and 826,308 pounds were received. The charges on freight forwarded amonnicd to $7,926.60; on freight received $1,228.60. The freight forwarded was equal to the capacity of 154 cars; that received to 42 cars. “Jonathan” wants to know by what right Dr. S. C. Maxwell, Who chirms to be a citizen of Benton county, holds the office of trustee of Carpenter township, Jasper county ? “Common people,” he says, “cannotseethe propriety of our township offices being held by nonresidents, nor of our school funds being under their control.”

Says the Journal of September 4th : “Last Sunday the Methodist congregation raised money enough .to let the Church out of debt, by the donation of Mr. Meredith of $360 of his salary. The debt of the Church is about $960, including arrears of Mr. Meredith’s salary, which he generously offered to donate to the Church, after which the congregation made up a list of S6OO, and also paid back a part of Mr. Meredith’s salary. At a meeting Monday evening it was agreed to pay Mr. Meredith’s donation back to him, and not by any means allow such a sacrifice on his part. During the last Conference year the Church has paid a debt of $1,400, and now stands on a good financial basis.”

Yesterday afternoon, Attorney General Denney received a letter of information from J. R. 'f riinblo, the agent of Indiana at Washington, for the collection of her war claims, announcing the fact that. E. B. Curtis, acting Second Comptroller of tlie Treasury, has allowed the State the sum of $11,218.92, on account of the eleventh installment of war claims formerly rejected.— Accompanying the letter was the original order of Mr. Curtis.— This installment of claims was considered among the most hopeless of all on file in the department, and this action of the Comptroller leads to the hope that a large proportion, if not aA,- of the claims Indiana is urging against the government, will finally be adjusted and paid.— lndianapolis Journal.

To-morrow, September 11th, the Independents of Lake county will hdld a convention to nominate a county ticket. Still the contest is between the Republican and Democratic parties, say the fossils.
