Ball fttage aJtthe-oM Pioneer store. Call : at the Pioneer store for late etyles of goods. Quail were never before known to be so plenty in this region. Children’s worsted’sacks and ladies’ underwear at thePwrweer store. Walnut, ash and cheap furniture at N. Warner’s new furniture store. Don’t buy furniture or stoves until .you have seen the stock at Warner’s. hosiery are made specialties at the Pioneer Store of T. J. ■Sears & Co. Eight voters beat Norm. Warner for coroner, but all the dealers in the State can’t beat him selling furniture cheap. A pair of gloves were recently found and left at 1 this office, which the owner may recover by describing and paying for this notice. Bevr Charles E. Lambert, of Evanston,!!!., is expected to preach in the Methodist Episcopal church at this place next Sunday (22d inst.) The best cigars in this town that we know of are at W. S. Bedford’s. Win also has an excellent assortment of notions, cutlery and -stationery. For cash you can buy all classes of goods low at the old Pioneer store. It will pay you to look around if you pay cash. F. J. Beaks & Co. Messrs. Minnikus & Kohler have supplied most of the brick used for the buildings that have been built in Rensselaer this season. Their kilns are about three miles south of town. Mr. Olmstead and his corps of engineers, who are surveying the line of the Chicago & Bouth Atlantic railroad through this county, arrived at the head of Washington street to-day at noon. Will Sears owns the finest team of matched carriage horses in Jasper •county —at least they bore off the premiums at the Rensselaer and Frances” ville Fairs this fall—and he is as iproud of them as a father is of his •first»born son. "Sleepy Mack” the -Sorrel Ihorse-that won Mie purses at our last iwo cou-uQ-/ as the ‘"Lynch horse, ” was recently sold ' to a gentleman in Porter county for one thousand dollars. Youngman when you bringDueksy Jane to town call at Norman Warner’s and let her see the stoves, tinware and elegant parlor, chamber and dining-room furniture. Our word for it she will say "ask pa” before you get home with her. We acknowledge a pleasant visit during the past week from Brother Winegarden, of theßeminglon Guard. He reports business good in that town, and his personal encouragement flattering. This is well, for he publishes ; an interesting local paper. It is estimated that not less than a (thousand tons of hay have been burnt A>y wild fires in Jasper county this ! Jail; indeed we hear of individuals <who have lost thirty, forty and fifty .tons each, and the Republican says that Mr. Jacob Sells in Walker township (had one hundred and fifty tons .destroyed. The Catholics of Lafayette have .commenced building a $40,000 orphan Asylum, which, upon completion, is io receive the inmates of St. Joseph Asylum at this place; and the latter will then be converted into an educational institution, it is reported, under the management of the Roman Catholicclergy of this diocease. Mr. Daniel Duvall attended the Odd Fellows Grand Lodge at Indianapolis this week, as representative of Iroquois Lodge No. 143. Among the special business of the session was the dedication of the new Grand Lodge hall, the ceremony of which was conducted by Past Grand Representative Schuyler Colfax. Dr. Kelley has moved his photograph gallery into his new quarters in Mrs. Hemphill’s new brick building opposite ot the postoffice. The room be occupies was constructed expressly for him, and is as neat as a parlor. He will be ready to welcome visitors and take pictures, day after tomorrow (Saturday). Cail on him. The Jasper County Ditching Association, whose summer labors Judge Gillett decided were irregular, have .commenced a new survey of the territory wherein they propose to operate, and are circulating for signatures a petition to the- board of county commissioners to appoint appraisers to assess the benefits and damages that will accrue to lands by Uie proposed work Of the company. About thirty thousand dollars has been subscribed to have -the Chicago A South Atlantic railroau built lo Rensselaer, and the canvassing for subscriptions is only fairly commenced yet. beventy-flve thousand dollars is required of the people here, and It can be raised without much difficulty. If the road is built (and there seems to be no doubt that it will he) it* will certainly come to Rensselaer. That proposition is safe to bet on..

Brother Charles M. Johnson, of the Republican, was married last Bunday to a daughter of Johnson Mlsener, Esq., of Remington, and is now visiting acquaintances in the central part of the State. We congratulate the happy couple and wish them all the blessings of life. This morning tzlie Honorable Board of Trustees of the town of Rensselaer passed an ordinance granting the right of wa/ and permission for the Chicago & South Atlantic railroad company to lay their track through Weston or Division street, as the company may elect. This will bring the track on the second or third street east of the public square. Mr. Charles Rhoades is constructing a brick barn on his beautiful little farm halt a mile east of town. It is, we believe, the first brick barn in the county. Its size is 18x30 feet on the ground. Messrs- Hengisbach & Rhamb furnished the brick from their kiln, east of the Iroquois river on the Hanging Grove road, and Mr. Joseph Herbst superintended the masonry. In another place in these columns official notice is published by Lewis Davisson, trustee of Barkley township, Wm: S. Coen, trustee of Marion township, and George W. Burk, supervisor ot road district number 8 of Marion township, that the bridge over the Iroquois river near Mr. C. D. Stackhouse’s farm is in a dangerous condition for crossing. The public will take notice and be duly governed by this warning. Messrs. Alfred McCoy, A. Leopold, Dr. G. A. Moss, Ira W. Yeoman, T. J. Spitler, D. I. Jackson, S. P. Thompson and other gentlemen are making themselves conspicuous by their activity in soliciting subscriptions for the Chicago & South Atlantic railroad. This is commendable. If the people here can secure the construction ,of that road through this place the benefits that will accrue to them can scarcely be overestimated. 7 There have been only nine numbers of the Jasper Republican issued, and it receives almost all of the official patronage of the cwnty, yet the last number contained a half-column howl for more money. It will be a burning shame if the Ri«g lets Charley starve oqt ’this winter “while ‘the hosts of sin’ ’’ as he calls the independent voters, " ‘are pressing hard’ to reward and uphold those who betray their trust and defraud their customers, trying to delude and mislead them.” When we arise from pur sumptuous tables which groan beneath their weight of luxuries from every clime, picking our teeth with golden tooth-picks; when we clothe our persons in our fine linen, silks and broadcloth and bedeck our beautiful forms with gold, and pearls, and diamonds, and all manner of radient jewelry of rich and cunning workmanship ; when we step out of our ten-story, marble palace with mansard roof, and furnished in oriental splendor, enter our elegant, gilded, cushioned triumphal-car drawn by ten span of gaily caparisoned blooded steeds, attended by a retinue of liveried retainers and a mounted band in uniform performing on golden instruments with ivory keys—when we do all this and drive through the crowded thoroughfares of our busy village, whjle rapturous applause swells up from the hearts of approving millions, and see our poor friend who deserted his principles and became the willing tool of a selfish clique, for a mess of thin pottage which is about devoured, dodging up an alley with a wood-saw and buck on fijs haif-clad shoulders, hunting a job a#ad a few cold buckwheat pancakes, our hearts melt in pity-and we fain would donate him a generous nickle! Selah!
