THE UNION.

Thursday, Noveiuber 12. 1874.

A new roof is being put on the Baptist Church. A two-days meeting will be held in the Presbyterian church Saturday and Sunday. Harding A Willey, druggists, will have the handsomest business building in the town,wheD it is completed. Messrs. Paxton A Donnelly are flrstclass plasterers. Look at the job they did in Mrs. Hemphill’s new brick store. The Remington Record says that the land sales of Messrs. O. B. Mcl 11tire A Co. for week before last, amounted to the sum of $13,280. Elder D. T. Halstead had been assisting in holding a protracted meeting of the Church of God at Goodland, for several days past. Nine or ten converts profession of laith and were immersed Maude Z., daughter of W. H. and E. C. Oram, died last Sunday. Her age was about four years. She was a beautiful child, bright aud promising. Our sympathy is with the sorrowing parents. Town Marshal Reeve has done good service on Washington street this week, by having had the gutters on either side cleaned out, aud all the debris that has accumulated since the street was macadamized, raked up and carted away. Uncle Resin F. Goddard (he is everybody’s uncle! is fitting up an oyster and lunch room iu his establishment. He has employed a journeyman baker whose reputation is Arst-class, and can now provide everybody with bread, cakes and pastry at all times and in any quantity. Mrs. 8. F. Healey, Col. mother, left Rensselaer Tuesday, en route for San Francisco, where she will spend the winter visiting her children who reside there. In the party that left here were Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Delaney, of Buffalo, N. Y., who, it is reported, will visit China before their return home. A drove of two or three hundred turkeys were driven from here this morning, to be shipped on the cars at Remington for city markets. They bad been collected by Mr. C. C, Me Kinley, a gentlemau from Illinois who had gathered them from farmers iu this vicinity. We believe the price paid for them was seven cents a pound. Rensselaer sports a nice wind pump in the Court House square, and sparkling water runs free continually into a big tank outside the fence for every thirsty creature. If some people about that place would frequent this town pump a little more, sod-corn juice and bottled ale would sweat for customers.—Remington Guard. That statement is half slander.

Quito a lively feeling lias sprung up in the local real estate market since people became convinced of the probability of the immediate construction of the Chicago & South Atlantic railroad. There seems to be a preference for unimproved property in Westou’s Addition to Rensselaer, north and east of the original plat of the town. Judge CUllett. of the Valparaiso Circuit, by request of Judge Hammond, is holding a special session of the Jasper Circuit Court in Rensselaer this week, to hear and decide appeals from the assessments of the Jasper County Ditching Company.— His decision was adverse to the Company, and they will reorganize, and do their work all over again. Esquire Wesley Meadows of Milroy township will make a public sale on his farm in Milroy township (“South America”), about ton miles southeast of Rensselaer, on the Wolcott road. Among other articles to be offered are two work horses, six milch cows, fourteen calves, one' hundred and three yearling steers, wagon, hay, and corn in crib. On sum# over five dollars, nine months credit will be given.

Competition is the life of trade, says an old proverb. With this understanding Mr. Norman Warner will open a new furniture store in Rensselaer, and is now up at South Bend to buy his stock. Those wanting chairs, bedsteads, sofas, lounges, cradles, bureaus, tables, stands, cabinets, safes, cupboards, etc., for parlors, sittingrooms, bed-rooms, kitchens, dining halls, offices, etc., should recollect this fact and call on Mr, Warner before completing their purchases. Fdrniture rooms on Front street, west side, second building below Ludd Hopkins' store. Mr. John Bayler and his wife and mother, living about three miles west of town, met with quite an accident last Sunday morning. They were all seated in the buggy and nearly ready to start, when the lines became entangled la the harness in some way, which caused the hontes to make a short turn, throwing them out and injuring ail of them more or less.— Mrs. Sayler, the mother of John, was more seriotely injured than either of the others, having had her ankle sprained, aad her leg dislocated at the knee-joint,—Republican.

Mr. M. L. Spitler, county clerk, has received commissions for thonewfafr were elected'justices of the peace iu Jasper county this fall. Let the honored gentlemen qualify and be ready to perform the marriage ceremony for the large crop of loving hearts that are now anxiously waiting the hour when that happy eveut may be consummated.

That Boy.

It Is the birth of an eleven pound boy at our house this week that makes us so satisfied .with the world, and charitably disposed towards all mankind. And the poet who writ the following rhymes had a faint idea of the situation: Th«re came to port lastSuuday morn The queerest little craft, Without an inch ol rigging on ; I aaw and then 1 laughed. Yet, by these presents, witness all; . He’s welcome fitly times, And comes consigned to Hope and Love In common metre rhymes. There is no manifest but this; No flog nor booming gun; He’s rather crank for sailing fast— My sonny, 0! my sou! Ring beHa^r-andJams ones, too: Shine bright, thou silver moon; Bring iu the little worsted socks ; The catnip and the spoon. Drive out the cat; call in the nurse; — His weight, 200th of a ton— Away with paper, pens and ink— Mv sonny, 0! my sou!

Railroad Meeting.

The Court House was well filled Tuesday, by people who came to hear Hon. W. S. Haymoud state the prospects aud condition of the Chicago A South Atlantic railroad project.— Considerable interest was manifested by the citizens, and they resolved to providing Rensselaer was made a point on the line. It was decided to put notes in circulation at once, and obtain as much of this sum as possible by subscription of stock. Mr. 8. P. Thompson was authorized to direct this matter, and with the assistance of other gentlemen who are taking a warm interest, a thorough canvass will be made, as soon an possible.— Several gentlemen spoke favorably of the project, and Mr. Thomas Robinson said that v he would take twenty fifty-dollar shares of stock, and in addition thereto would favor the levy of a two per cent, tax on Marlon township. -.--v The contractors who ate to build the portion of the road through Jasper county, were present, and Mr. Clifford, senior member of the firm, said they were ready and waiting to commence work whenever the line is definitely located in this county.— The engineer corps is trow south of the Kankakee river, it is reported, working this direction, and are expected to reach Rensselaer sometime next week. Prompt, energetic, determined action is now required of all who desire the Chicago A South Atlantic road built to this town.

From the Remington Guard.

Dwellings are scarce and rents high. Health of community is good at present. i Father Babb sets one of the best hotef tables in Northern Indiana. Apples and potatoes are each one dollar a bushel, antfcorn 48 cents. Wood is scarce, and a fortune might be made with a well-supplied wood yard. Mr. Dickson and Mrs. Downing who were thrown out of a carriage not long since and seriously hurt, are slowly recovering. Charley Price, recently elected county clerk, is a young man of more than ordinary intelligence, and no doubt will make a good officer. An independent bible-class has been organized, recently, which meets in the Presbyterian church Sunday afternoons. The object is not sectarian, but simply to become familiar with the scriptures. Joe Stewart, proprietor of the Nevada Houbo, recently varied the hum drum monotony of life and made it interesting for his wife and children, by chasing them about the premises with a tomahawk. He was drunk.— Neighbors interfered ahd prevented a tragedy. The corn blockade Is raised, and grain dealers have recovered from cramp colic brought on by green corn. Prices are good, and from early dawn till late at night teams are crowded on the streets, and the warehouses are filled to their utmost capacity.
