THE- RSmSIUEfc UNION. Thursday, October 14, 1875.

Helmbold; the Bucho m«n, has been sent tolßloomingdale Insane Asylum. 1 .> ' ■ ; y ; ' Last Saturday was the fourth anniversary of the “big fire” at Chicago. Since the 27th of September over 11,000,000 new postal cards have been issued. “Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are coming,” is what the Indianapolis papers have been singing the past week. ~ 'J“ ' It was rumored in Washington on Tuesday that ex-Governor Dennison, of Ohio, had been appointed Secretary of the Interior to succeed Delano. J . . Michigan City is clamoring for a Centennial Baby Show. Five babes were recently .added to the population of that city, three of them in one night. Wendell Phillips has been nominated by the Labor Reform party in Massachusetts for Governor. Uis advocacy of inflation caused his nomination. ? Elections will occur on the 2nd of next month in Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Texas. It is reported that the fast passenger trains on the trunk lines between the East and West are to be discontinued, aud that the fast mail is also in danger. Hon. Robert Dale O .ven, who has been confined in the State Insane Asylum lor some time, was recently discharged from that institution and pronounced cured. A Wisconsin railroad conductor kissed a school ma’am recently without her consent, and the Su preme Court of that State has just awarded hvr #I,OOO damages.— Don’t meddle with school ma’ams. The war cloud that has been hanging over England and China, presenting so threatening an as pect for sometime payst, has cleared away and the difficulties between the two countries satisfactorily settled. lion. Alexander 11. Stephens was taken seriously ill at Augusta, Georgia, last Saturday. He is afflicted with stone in the bladder and is in a very critical condition. His suffering is represented as excruciating, and it is feared he cannot recover. The jury in the third trial of John D. Yandekarr, for the murder of young Wallace, at Rochester, this State, on the night of Feb ruary 20, 1875, returned a verdict on the 10th inst., and sentenced him to imprisonment in the penetentiary for twenty year's. Application was made for a new trial. The Plymouth Mail and Magnet has consolidated with the Republican of that city, and will hereafter be known as the Plymouth Republican. In its last issue the M. and M. announced that the paper had been a success, financially’, and that the consolidation w’as effected merely for the purpose of combining the strength of the two papers into one, give their patrons a better paper. Success to the new venture.

MODESTY AND INFLUENCE.

We would modestly suggest that the Jasper Republican is the best advertising medium in these parts, both on account of circulation and iuflue n ce.— Republican. Oh, modelsty! Where art thou ? We think modesty has either ceased to be a virtue with the editor of the Republican or else he never had any. The readers of this paper will remember the proposition its editor made Mr. Johnson in, the issue of The Union of September 30th, which proposition has not yet been accepted. All The Union asks of J. is W either put up or shut up about the circulation of his paper. As we said before, his failure to accept our proposition is a virtual admission that his state-

1 ments from time to time about the! circulation of the Republican arc. false, and the public will so consider them. Ab to influence we freely admit tjhat the Republican has a greater Amount than the Union. \For instance: In 1872 the llepublicans j had a majority in Jasper county for Browne -for Governpr of 431, and in 1874, under the influence of! the Republican that majority was entirely wiped out, and the Independents elected their auditor by a majority of 62. Oh, influence , thou art a jewel! * ...

THE ELECTIONS.

The papers last night contained dispatches from political headquarters Jn Ohio* lowa and Nebraska, where elections were held on Tuesday last, but they are so meagre that the result can not be given. However, enough is known to give an approximate idea of how thosp States have gone. In Ohio tbi Democrats throw up the sponge and acknowledge Allen’s defeat by a small majority. The Republicans claim the election of Hayes by a majority of from 10,000 to 15,000, but the official returns will probably reduce these figures about one-half. The Democrats gained largely in many of the interior counties that have heretofore been strongly Republican, but the Republican gains in the more densely populated counties were much larger. In lowa the Democrats concede the State to the Republicans bv about 25,000 majority, but they hoped for nothing more than a reduced Republican majority in that stronghold of Republicanism. The returns from Nebraska indicate a Republican majority in that State, and that the new constitution has been adopted.

Remington Record Items.

Oats, 26'cts. Corn, 40 cts. *■ Lard, 15 cts. Butter, 25 cts. Pork, haras, 17 cts. New potatoes, 40 cts. Flour, per cwt, #4.20. Pork, shoulders, 16 bts. * EggS P<“r dozen, 12£ cts. Two deaths in town this week. School opened last Monday.morning with, a good attendance. Mr. 11. C. Goldsbury and wife returned from their visit in the east. Tell your neighbor about the fair to be held at Remington Oct. 20th, 21st and 22nd. „ Henry Ward Beecher passed through Remington 'on the 10 o’clock express last Friday. The foundation is being laid for the new M. E. the lot north of the M. E. Church. A drunk and disorderly fellow was snatched from the “ragged edge” of a seat at the sjiow the other evening, and hustled down stairs by the marshal and a couple of other muscular gentlemen.

The new bricks are nearly completed so far as the brick work is concerned and add very much to the beauty and business appearance of our town. Had another story been added, making them three stories, it would have presented as fine an appearance as any store in this section of the State. Over the 1 two rooms of Shaw & Mt-Intire, will be placed a hall 40x80 feet, with a 20 foot stage, etc. Tiiis will give us a good town hall,something badly needed here., We -never could see the policy or good sense in doing work for nothing. An attorney of.this place showed us 250 color.ed business cards that he got printed inaneighboring town for 75 cents. The blank cards alone cost the fellow -nearly as much as he charged for the job, and just wherein the fun comes in printing and furnishing ink and labor for 250 cards, we are unable to see. When a man cuts pric s down below a living price, he alone is the loser, and not those from whom he. draws custom. As for us, we have our regular prices for all kinds of work, and if the people do not wish to pay them, they can go elsewhere, as all efforts to “jew” us down prove a failure. There is a principal that should

govern a legitimate business, as well us the money that is in it. The Remington Trotting Association will hold-their first fair Wednes■V day, Thursday and Friday, October 20th, 21st and 22d. The fair will be under the supervision of the Remington Agricultural Association, and they expect to use the money to liquidate their indebtedness for improvements on the grounds. The premiums offered amount to nearly SI,OOO, and the fair will undoubtedly be a complete success, for the reason that it is gotten up and will be worked with that end in view. The track will be worked and repaired, and no pains will b“ spared to put it in the best condition, so that horses can travel it with perfect safety. There will be no lack of room, as the grounds are provided with 60 good comfortable stalls, with strkw for bedding furnished free of chafge. The grounds are now provided with plenty of good water and many other conveniences for the j patrons of the fair. Make up \ your mind to attend, and if you; have a good horse, bring him along and enter him, and take a chance j for the big purse. Arrangements] have been made for a reduction of' rates on the P. GY & St. L. rail-, road. I

Be of good cheer friends of the 1., D.j & ,C. Railroad. Work is now going on near Monticello and between Bradford and Rensselaer. The work may move slowly for a while, but the great necessity for a-road on an air line" from Indianapolis to Chicago will not allow a lailure of the enterprise. The work has not been abandoned by its friends, but they are zealously looking after its interests.— Delphi■ Timer. ■
