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.
