’Thursday, September 17, 1874.

Mr. Henry A. Barkley will please accept thanks for delicious peaches. Thera is a pocket bool* at this office containing valuables, waiting for identification by owner. Married at .Reprington, September 3d, by Rev. li. L. Adams, Mr. • Charles T. Denham and Miss MagThomson. - Thepbotograph car from Lowell, Which was, is not, yet still is, steamed away for Francesville yesterday morning. *- Rev. J. 11. Cissel, of one of the South Bend M. E. Churches, is visiting his mother and friends in Rensselaer this week. The Francesville Fair will open next Tuesday and continue in exhibition four days. Our thanks are returned for complimentary tickets. An ax was lost in Weston grove, north of town, a couple of weeks ago, belonging to Week. Robinson, which lie would like to have returned. Circuit court convenes next Monday. There ate only seven cases on the criminal docket. The civil causes number ninety-four, ive of guardians’ and administrators’ business. Our ever enterprising and popular friend Norman Warner, is now selling the famous Coquillard farm wagons, which for quality of material used in Their construction, elegance of finish, and durability, have a national reputation. Messrs. Duvall & Goff have a . first- class blacksmith cmployod-at their shop —one that is familiar •'with the details of finer mechanism —in addition to their regular shop 'force. Take your fine work to Duvall & Goff', and have it well ..dono and neatly finished. The RenssiSlaer Union eom;pletes its sixth year with this issue, and still maintains its proud position among the best local papers in the United States. (Subscription price $2 a year, $1 for six months, 50 cents for three months, invariably in advance). Take" it. On account of sickness, Professor Snoddy has been compelled to j.postpbno the Teachers’ Institute •one week. The session will:commence’ Monday, September 28th, and continue Jive days. On Saturday, October 3d, lie- will have a public examination of applicants for license to teach in Jasper county. Ail who are interested in these matters will take duo and ’timely notice, and govern themselves accordingly. The temperance people have changed the time for holding ,their rally at Rensselaer to next Thursday, (24th instant), in order to conform to the convenience of their speakers. The committee has been fortunate in securing the services of Mvs v Ernma Maloy, editress -of the Observer, Elkart, led., who is counted among the most efficient advocates of the cause in Indiana. Mrs. Maloy is a pleasant speaker, And those who are so fortunate as to hoar her will be well paid for their attention. Do hot neglect to attend the temperance rally. Among the appointments made Iby the North6rn .Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at its recent session were: Rev. J. L. Smith, Presiding Elder for the West Lafayette District. Rev. E. A. Andrew, pastor at Remington ; Rensselaer to be supplied; Rev. J. J. Hines, at Mcdaryville; Rev. J. 13 Smith, Bradford and Francesville ; Rev. J. M. Stafford, •Goodland ; Rev. 11. N. Ogden, Kentl|ind y«*Rev. A. W. Wood, Kentland Circuit; Beaver Lake, to Fc supplied ; Rev. A. L. Backus and Rev. J. C. Martin, Morocco; and for Reynolds and Wolcott, Rev. J. R. Baker. That celebrated, magnificent aud •wonderful combination show of Messrs. Warner & Henderson, which includes the menagerie, the museum,, the caravan, the hippodrome, and the circus, will exhibit Afternoon and evening at Kemingion next Monday and at this place •on the afternoon and evening of next Wednesday. Wherever it has been exhibited in neighboring towns she press speaks of its natural curiosities and the performances of its acrobats, trick animals, riders, etc., in terras of admiration. No one, who has not soon wild and * savage beasts of prey, or rare and wonderful animals from foreign climes should permit this opportunity to pass by -neglected. Those who admire athlejtio accomplishments trr witness daring aero- j batic feats will-surely improve this .occasion to gratify their taste. j

George Catt and a young man from Benton county, named Hawkins, were thrown from their swift racing steeds at the Fair Ground past Friday, and had their sweet breath knocked out of them. Neither Was severely injured, though both had terrible falls.

The Rensselaer Rejmllican will make its initial appearance tomorrow. May it have prosperity and a long and useful career. Let all Republicans aud every body else, who can afford to, subscribe and pay for one or more copies of the new paper, and,lend Mr. Johnson proper encouragement for his enterprise.— There is no other business in which the same amount of capital is invested that does as much for the welfare of the place in which it is located —materially, morally, socially, educationally or intellectually—as a well-conducted news paper; and there is no person in community, neither tho physician, the minister nor the school teacher, better deserving of liberal pay for his labor than the intelligent and consciencious editor. There is not another institution in the land that is so important to the temporal well-being of its inhabitants, nor one whose loss would be more serious to the nation, than our free press. Patronize the new venture liberally. John Clark, an Irishman who lived about six miles noith ot this place, was found dead in bed yesterday morning. Clark, commonly called “Sheepy,” was a bachelor and lived alone. One day last week, Friday perhaps, a horse kicked him in the bowels, and the old "man went to bed. Sunday evening a friend called and found him sick aud vomiting, and proposed to summon a physician; to this Clark objected saying that he would lie down, go to sleep, and likely wake up feeling better.— From the time this friend left on Sunday evening until he went back again yesterday morning it is not known that anybody was at the house, or saw its occupant. Yesterday morning Mr. John Ryan called again, hut could get no response to his knocking or calls, although looking through the window he could see Clark lying on a pallet* apparently asleep. He notified a neighbor, and together they forced open the door, entered, aud found the body was lifeless. Coroner Warner being notified took with him Doctors Moss aud Loughridge and made a post mortem examination of tho corpse, from which it was concluded that death resulted from lnflamation of the bowels caused by being kicked by a horse. The deceased was probably about fifty years old; he has no relatives in this county, and nothing -was found about his premises giving the names or address of relatives, though he is supposed to have a sister in Chicago. He had considerable live stock and other personal effects, which the Coroner took charge of until a person is appointed for this purpose by the proper authority.

The Fair.—List of Premiums Awarded, &c , &c.

The third annual Fair of the Jasper County Agricultural & Mechanical Association, held in this, town last week, was a gratifying success. The weather though quite 5 warm was otherwise pleasant, so that people could come from their homes many miles distant without fear of disagreeable storms, and the result was a largo attendance, which on the third and fourth days was estimated at 2,000 persons. The live stock exhibition was larger and better than at previous Fairs, while field, orchard and garden products exceeded the expectations of all who consider tho dry and unfavorable season.— Manufactured articles, including farm implements, harness, fine sewing, knitting, embroidery, prepared fruits, jelly, bread, cake, honey, etc., etc., made a fine display and would compare favorably with like articles anywhere. Pecuniarily the Fair was also a success. The entries of live stock and other articles for premiums was 314, besides numerous others brought on the ground for exhibition only. The premiums awarded amounted to nearly SOSO, which will all be paid in cash. The receipts of the Fair amounted to about $1,350. Below is the list of premiums awarded, orders for which will be issued by the secretary of the Association, Col. Healey, who may be found at The Union office; and these orders will be paid by the treasurer, Mr. C. C. Starr, upon presentation. Best stallion 4 years old or over, J.

A Library of Valuable Information.

YVcbster’s Unabridged Dictionary can only bo appreciated by those who spend a few hours in its critical examination. It is a library of valuable information in itself, containing admirably condensed arti ; elos on thousands of subjects, three thousand, of which are illustrated by excellent cuts. It costs sl2, while volumes containing the same amount of matter on similar subjects, would cost hundreds of dollars. It is the cheapest volume in the English language, except the IJilde.— Exchange.

A local paper complains that there are too many nice and conscientious people in Laporle.
