THE RENSSELAER UNION.

Thursday, December 3, 1874.

Dance at Bpitier’s Hal! Christmai and New Years nights. Lots of fun. Married, November 96th. 1874, by Ttev. R. L Aditns. William Dexter and Margret W. Kirkpatrick, all of Remington. The mercury recorded a temperature 15° below 0, Sunday night. To-day (Wednesday) it is as soft and balmy as a morning in May. Don’t fall to “catch the shadow efe the substance fade,” at Dr. Kelley’s new photograph gallery, in Mrs. Hemphill’s brick, up stairs, opposite the postofflce. / The Hemphill brothers will move their tobacco and cigar store into the room recently occupied by Mrs. Hemphill’s millinery establishment, as soon as necessary repairs can be made. A hasty glance showed us that Mrs. Halstead has an excellent stock of millinery goods, ladies’ furnishing goods, e.tc. She has recently moved into the room below F. J. Sears & Co’s pioneer store. It is very irksome to sit around all Sunday evening without any Remington Record, -to read,but they didn’t send us one last week, and we had to resort to the dictionary for our fresh secular mental pabulum. A heavy soow storm set in Thursday evening and continued with little interruption Saturday afternoon until Sunday noon Aleuts foot of snow •fell •»><<■ 'tl was Ve»y (Oil. i,.. i-.it mi<- id year. Persons tlesjrous of procuring a good little farm in Jasper county, within seven miles of the county seat and near a good grist and saw mill, are referred to the Commissioner’s advertisement of the sale of the Samuel Greenfield estate. Title is good. Uncle Henry Smith has opened a new paint shop on Washington street, opposite Austin’s Hotel, where he will do sign, carriage and wagon painting. He will&Jsp paint houses. The celebrated Durban pump, the best in market, kept for sale. Pumps repaired on short notice. Give him a ; call. With my newly arranged side and sky lights, 1 am enabled to produce tiie.best photographic work in cloudy or clear weather without difference. Ira C. Kelley. \ Mr. Spitler has sold about 1000 acres of the Indiana & Illinois Central Railway Company’s lands in Jasper county, within the past week, for an average price of about §5.30 an acre. There will not bo such an opportunity' to purchase .good cheap homes this county w; -win-rod ag-i;u r auu iliose who can will be wise to avail themselves of this opportunity at once. The Weed sewing machine (Family j Favorite) is one of the best made. It is first class in al 1 .respects. Mr.-(I. W. Clifton is agent for the sale of it in Jasper and Newton counties, with head quarters at Rensselaer. He will repair all sewing machines neatly and substantially, and guarantee satisfaction. Machine oil, attachments and needles kept for sale. See his advertisement.

During the month r>? XnvhmUrr, ; 1874, tttSrrifip’o licoii- s were issued by the clerk of Jasper county to John Mitchell and Kidday Nash; Frank Clouse and Louisa Stool!; Beniamin Richards and Electa Page; Charles M. Johnson and Lora A. Wisher: Eusebius Overton and Martha E. Coppess ; Cyrus W. Duvall and Maggie J. Thompson ; William Dexter and Margaret W. Kirkpatrick : William Madison and Emma J. Craig. Eental rooms complete, and every branch In the profession practiced. A credit of six months on all work amounting to ten dollars, by giving note. Ira C. Kelley. Concluding, no doubt, that discretion was the better part of valor, that wild beast of prey that was prowling through the region north of this place last week, has skipped the country. It began to be whispered around that L'ul. Healey, J. B, —Bpangle, Henry A. Sparling and several other Nimrodie gentlemen were secretly coveting its overcoat, and it wisely concluded to “skun out” while said garment was whole. Sensible varmint. Saturday, 12th Instant, Mr. Wm. Robinson of Glllam township will make an extensive public sale. He will offer among other things, fifty or sixty head of cattle, including "one thoroughbred bull one year old last March, fifteen or twenty head of cows and graded heifers bred to him, and a fat of fine yearling steers; seventy head of sheep, fifteen graded Berkshire hogs, a span of horses, a twohorse wagon, a spring wagon, a onehorse buggy, farming implements, thirty ot forty tuiis of hay, etc. Ten months credit, without interest, will be given ‘on sums over threfe dollars. _ Even the cockles of an anchorite ’s. heart would feel a glow of warmth to look at the elegant business' suits at Leopold’s uew store. -Such beautiful cloaks for gentlemen , such an assortment of hats and caps, and such very reasonable prices are not to be found elsewhere in Rensselaer. Mr. Leopold is enterprising, is shrevyd, is liberal, is honorahle, and those who trade with him can rely bn his representations. His goods have all been purchased since the great decline in prices; they are ail new, and of the best quality : and they were brought here to be sold, arid sold they will be if anybody wants them and cares to economise expenses. Go and see his immense stock. As will be seen by an advertisement in an other place, to which attention is directed, Mrs. Hemphill has moved iqto her new brick store room, and is now ready to receive visitors. She has a splendid stock of goods, including a full line of ladies’ and gentlemen’s underwear, dress goods, hats, caps and "bon nets for ladies, children and men, all kinds of knjt goods, notions, toys’ etc A large assortment of ladies’" ready ready, made cloaks, elegant, rich and fashionable, for sale cheap. All kinds of millinery and dress making done to order. There is not a shrewder business woman in the county, nor a more enterprising. Call and see what she has for sale, and do not conclude purchases without learning herpriees.

Best photographs and gems at Dr. Kelley’s new gallery in the Hemphill brick build! Bg, up stairs, opposite th# post-office. Esquire Wesley Meadows willmake a public sale next Thursday, at his farm in “South America,” ten miles south of Rensselaer. See posters. Mr. Charles B. Steward will open a dancing school in ripitler’s Hall tomorrow evening—December 4th. He will give twelve lessons. Those who desire to avail themselves of an opportunity to learn ao art that in all ages of the world has been popular, and which tends to improve the manners and carriage of people in society, may now do so at reasonable terms.

From the Remington Guard.

Corn still comes rolling into market, and the price is 57 cents a bushel. Two thoroughbred calves recently sold in Remington brought S4O and S6O respectively, which was not near their full value. The exhibition of Ten Nights in a Bar Room, recently given by the Good Templars, was a grand success. The characters were well represented. The Guard vigorously urges the inhabitants of Remington to buy a fire engine and organize a hook and ladder company. Our experience is that such admonitions are generally a waste of printer's ink. Messrs. Church & Hartley came very near having a conflagration last week. Some one about their store had occasion to step down cellar for some purpose, and took a lighted candle which he stuck in a funnel aDd forgot to take back with him. When the cellar was afterwards visited, the candle had dropped on to a barrel of coal oil and was still burning. Had the store burnt down, everybody would have thought it was fired by au incendiary.

A NEW ENTERPRISE! , V ... * ' . ' ' / • ■’■>■ St .. . it. iW'-' ' ; /■- ‘ : /: ’1 j • : IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY!

'• ■ 4-.. ” • . _ •'. • . . Should this be true, the future of Rensselaer will be brilliant indeed. Surrounded as it is by excellent lands for agricultural purposes there will be an unprecedented influx to town and county. This will make business lively and times easy. With his usual discrimination, Mu. A. Leopold, in order to anticipate foreshadowed events and make himself master of the situation, bought AN IMMENSE STOCK OF Dry Goods, Clothing &c„ WHILE THEY WERE CHEAT* ! ■ • H , <■ ——• At no time since the war has there been such a decline in all kinds of Dry Goods as has been observed this fall. Mr. LEOPOLD has not only been able to take advantage of this circumstance, but he has also secured the additional inducements and discounts offered to cash buyers. People who have not yet bought their Winter Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, Gloves, Mittens, Shawls, Flannels, Blankets, Furs, &c., will consult their interest no doubt by making their purchases of Mr. Leopold who has opened his goods for public inspection, as they will have the advantage of a complete and brand new stock to select from. At Leopold’s Corner! The lon2 experience, sagacity and acknowledged judgment of Mr. Leopold insured the selection of an excellent stock of goods; while his enterprise, liberality, shrewd business tact, and his ambition to excel will prompt him to share the fruits of | those advantages with his customers by giving them low prices. Appropriate Holiday Presents. There could be no more appropriate holiday present for a member of your household than a set of furs, a dress pattern, a new hat, a pair of hoots, a pair of slippers, a pair of gloves or mittens, a shawl, a scarf, or any one of a thousand other articles to be found—and for sale very cheap—at Leopold’s new store.
