THE RENSSELAER UNION. Thursday, October 7, 1875.

The nights are now longer than the days. Several weddings in Rensselaer daring the past week. Thanks to Mr. J. B. Spangle for late files of Texas papers. The Catholics are building a neat frame charch at Remington and have it enclosed. There are 155 pupils enrolled at the Union school in this place out of an enumeration of 275, Fon Saxe. —A good two-seated carriage. For terms call at the office of Martin & Healey. Remember the Old Settlers’ Reunion at Indian Village, next Saturday, and dont fail to attend. The iron columns for the front of Bedford & Jackson’s building were placed in position last Mon--day. There is talk of making a county out of part of LaPorte •county with Michigan city th•capital.

Rev. O. C. Haskell, former mm aster at this place, has been assigned to the • pastorate oh argeof theM. E. Church at Monticello. We wore told by a farmer i'tst "Saturday that the yield of oars in this county would not average over forty bushels to the acre. The gentleman who borrowed that silver spoon from Dr. Martin •during the fair will save further trouble by returning it at once. Ther* > ai*e still a few more copies •of the U*rcosr left containing the account of the fair, which can be Shad o*i-.epa»l»eatioii at this office. Now is the’time for the business men to advertise their fall and winter goods. The Union is the best advertising medium in the county. Now is the time of year to be getting np your winter wood. A ifew loads of good dry wood will Sie taken at this offioe on subscription. Last Saturday the streets of Rensselaer presented quits a lively appearance, and the merchants were kept busy from early morn rtill late at night; So mote it be. 'Under the sew fee an 4 salary ilaw, a juror’s fees mb the circuit •court arc SLO® per <3ayr, before a Justice of the Peace, seventy-five ■ cents. Witness fees $1.25 per day. Mr.. John Con well, a highly respected young mat) ot Remington, (died in that place /Tuesday, about >1 o’clock ,p. in., after a protracted iillness of some three or four weeks duration.

Already the young town of Fow- j ller is talking of having machine •fihops with facilities for manjifacituring rail road cars, furniture and j -other valuable articles of industry -and domestic economy. The Remington schools began last Monday, with U. R. Neisi as principal. D. La fever has charge of the let Intermediate department, Mies Agnes Nelson fid Intermediate, and Miss Mary Blood, Primary. The marriage of Mr. James Keener„and Mrs. Mazena Comer, both of this county, was consaramated last Sunday evening by Esq. Harding, the ceremony being performed at the ’Squire’s residence. Rev. Caleb B. MocH; who was several years ago pastor of the Methodist Church at this place, and who is so popular with the people wherever he is sent, is now -dispensing the gospel at Kentland. The Battle Ground District Conference of the M. E. Church will be held at Battle Ground on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, October 19th, 20th and 21st. Revs. Godfrey and Blackstock are to ofldate. Not long since a drove of 126 head of stolen cattle were driven through this place, and shipped from Remington to Pittsburgh. The cattle had been bought of a herder who pastured" them during the summer In this county, about fifteen miles north of here. A man named Dorian was driving them. It is said they were iecov<xed by the owners at Pittsburg.

Another scrimmage took place last Saturday afternootiat Duvall’s livery stables. The pugilists were Michael O’Callahan and Peter Jones. They were separated, however, before any great injuries were received by either party. Mr. Charley Price, clerk elect of Jasper county, has bonght a lot of Dr. Moss in Rensselaer, opposite Mr. Thos. Boroughs’ residence on Cullen street, and is now collecting material to build a dwelling house preparatory to moving over here. The Rensselaer Union school commenced Monday morning last. The teachers are: Prof. James G. ; Adams, superintendent, Mr. C. W. Clifton, Ist. intermediate, Miss Mattie Benjamin, 2nd intermediate, Miss Ada Strayer, of Peru, primary department. Rev. Thomas Vanscoy,*the minister assigned to the Rensselaer charge, by the Northwestern Indij ana Conference of theM.E.Church | will preach bis initiatory sermon, | at the Methodist Charch in this place, ntxt Sunday. Let everybody go and hear him. On the 29th of last month, at the residence of Mr. Calvin Porter, two miles northwest of Rensselaer, Rev. S. E. Rogers solemnized in marriage Mr. Andrew K. Saylor and Miss Emma Fulton, all of Jasper county. The happy couple have the best wishes of “yelocal,” and may they live long, prosper | and be happy«--I Mr. J. B. Spangle, who has been ! making quite an extended tour through Missouri, Texas, Indian " Territory and Kansas, looking out a location, returned home Tuesday

evening. We understand Mr. S. purchased one hundred acres of land near Lawrence, Texas, but not with the intention of making a home out of it. We hope he will conclude to remain in Rensselaer. Married, at the Austin House, in this place, on the 4lh- instant, by Esq. Jackson, Mr. John Wolf, of Kansas, and Miss Amanda J. Goodale, of Jasper county. The Wolf has snatched the object of his prey from the society of friends and relatives and has borne her away to liis den in Kansas, just to gratify his taste for Oood-ale. The happy couple carry with them the best wishes of The Union, and may they be blessed with enough Iktle Wotvtt to take care of them in their older days. / Last week Judge Hammond held that a disabled naan was not liable to work upon the public highways, nor to pay computation money in lieu thereof. He also gave it as hie opinion that a supervisor has no right under the statute to enter upon the of individuals and take stone, timber, gravel, etc., to repair public highways, except in cases of urgent neoeeeity; such, for instance, as where a freshet has washed away a bridge or culvert and public convenience demands that it be repaired immediately, before said supervisor would have time to look about in the market and purchase material. In another column of this issue will be found a' card from G. L. Langsdale, Chairman of the Executive .Committee, for the Indiana Soldiers’ Reunion, to be held at Indianapolit, on the 14th and 15th instants. From this it will be seen that extensive preparations are being made all over the State to make the reunion one of the grandest affaire ever held in Indiana. Soldier* of Jasper County, what do you propose to do? Every one of you that can possibly attend ought to be present, and participate in the exercises. You 'who braved the dangers of battle and endured the exposures of the battle-field for your country’s sake; you who left your homes and firesides and took your lives in your hands, leaving your wite, father, mother,sister and brother behind, weeping for fear you might never return; you are the ones who*are expected to take part in this reunion, and steps should immediately be taken in this direction. A meeting ought to be called at which all soldiers in the county should be present and arrangements made to attend the reunion at Indianapolis, enmasie ; if possible. The railroads will cairy soli diers to this reunion for half fare.

Fawcett & Spangle have received a new invoice of cards. They are now doing splendid card work' and those desiring calling, address or business cards, should not fail to call at this office, examine stock and learn prices. Now that the schools are commenced, let the parents of the pupils see that their children are punctual in attendance and let them visit the schools frequently and see what progress they are making in their studies and tjjus encourage" their boys and girls in acquiring a good education. Mr. Charles A. Roberts and Miss Abbie Phillips, both of Rensselaer, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock last Sunday morning at the parsonage of the Free Will Baptist Church in this place, the ceremony beiDg performed by Rev. S. E. Rogers. We congratulate Charley on his good luck in securing such au amiable partner for life, and assure the bride that she has made a wise choice. May their cup of happiness ever be filled to overflowing and may they always have plenty of this world's goods, are the best wishes of the printer. The editor of this paper started last Sunday on an excursion to Kansas, which left Logansport on Tuesday. He will be gone some three or four weeks, leaving “the boys” to dish up matter for the Union during his absence. We will endeavor to do the best we can, but will not promise to get out as good a paper as the “boss,” and hope that all discrepancies will be overlooked. It is desired that allcommunications be sent in as early in the week as possible, and that local advertisements be handed in by Tuesday noon, to insure insertion in the paper.

Lar-t Thursday a younk man named Lawrence, who had been working for Mr. W. S. Grant, was taken with a chill which was succeeded by a very high fever, during the excitement of which he jumped from the window of the chamber itrwhich he was confined and ran out into a cornfield near by, having on no clothing but a shirt, pair of pants and socks. He was immediately pursued and overtaken, but managed to free himself and bid in the corn. Diligent search was kept up for two days but the missing man could nos be found, and it was supposed he had crawled into the thick corn somewhere and died from the effects of mental exfj «; citfement and exhaustion. But on the morning of the third day he was discovered lying in a sleigh in a barn belonging to Peter Hordeman, two miles west of town. He was aroused and found to be conscious, but did not know how he got there. He said be remembered sleeping in a cornfield the first two nights, but knew nothing of his actions after that time. He seems to be doing as well as could be ex pected, after his exposure, and with care it is thought he will recover. All the leading institutions of learning in the United States are adopting “Rldpath’s History of the United States” as being the standard work, containing as it does, authentic information, gathered” from reliable sources, not to be found in similar works of longer standing. A careful perusal of the work will fully convince anj one of the justice of its claims, and the popularity which it has already received it justly merits. The author’s clearness and accuracy of statement coupled with his grace ol style, make the study of the book both instructive and pleasing. The progressive maps and chronological charts afford ample facilities fo r reference and review. Much uninteresting and cumbersome matter usually found in similar histories is excluded from this work, thereby making it possible to present a comprehensive history of our country in a volume of limited size and moderate cost. The typographical execution of the book cannot be excelled, and the illustrations are complete. A copy will be sent to any teacher or school officer for examination on receipt of SI.OO, the regular retail price being $1.75. Address Jones Bros. <fc Co., 178 Elm street, Cincinnati, 1 Objo.

To Whom it May Concern.

After the 25th day of October 1875, my books will be placed in the hands of an attorney for immediate adjustment. By settling previous to that time, you will save the additional ten percent., and also very greatly oblige. Yours, etc., R. Y. Martin, M. D. Oct. 2nd., 1875.

Remington Record Items.

Only two cases of sickness in Remington, VTwo more issues of the Record will close the first volume of that paper. Both elevators at this place are full of corn, and still it is coming into market. Mr. G. S. Kendall has sold his dry goods store and will return to Monticello. If Dame Rumor isn’t amiss, several marriages will take place in Remington shortly. H. C. Goldsberry and wife have been viewing the battle field at Gettysburg the past week. A knoek-down between a couple of citizens occured last week. As to time, place and duration of the battle, we are not informed. A blind, deaf and dumb crippled beggar was on the streets soliciting aid last week. He visited one place and from two persons received one cent and a rotten apple. J ames Tribby recieved a paralytic stroke in the right side of his face, a week ago last Saturday, and has been unable to use the muscles on that side in any way since. Mr. Samuel Bovrrain and Miss Frank Blood were married at the 4 Christian Church, in Remington,* Wednesday evening, Sept. 29th. One by one they are passing away. Q. B. Mein tire and P. H. Lally have great cause for rejoicing. The former smiles because it’s a girl, and the latter with the knowledge that if war opens up he can furnish Ills quota of jeoldiers.
