We were aroused from a Bound sleep last Friday night by a party of serenaders who were discoursing some excellent musio on a violin, flute, guitar and other accompaniments. The wee sma’ hours, the calm still night, together with the fact that the party was composed of first-olass musicians, made the oocasion one of peculiar serenity, and as we sat listening to the soft and beautiful strains of music that floated upon the midnight air we imagined ourselves in some grand metropolitan opera. “Music hath chaims to soothe,” eto., and after listening attentively until the gentle notes had died away, we quietly put ourselves in our little bed again, rolled over, and were soon - lost in dreamland.

If you want to see yourself as you are, or as others see you, go to Kelley’s picture gallery, and get a sac simile of your beautiful phiz.

A band of those roving gypsies paid Rensselaer a visit last week, and quite a number of our good people had their fortunes told by them. It is unnecessary to state that the chickens all hid themselves and that turkeys held their breaths, while the gypsies were around, lest they should be gobbled up and disposed of in a way they despise. After the close of the theatre Friday night a number of the elite of Rensselaer repaired to Spitler’s Hall, where, according to previous arrangements, a social centennial hop was held. The music was furnished by Prof. Lott, of Watseka, Illinois, whose skill in extracting music from • the violin can not be excelled. The affair was a pleasant one, and all went away feeling that it was good to be there.

It is currently reported in this place that the contract for the iron for the Chicago & South Atlantic railroad from Delphi to Chicago, has been closed, and that the work of laying the iron from Dyer this way will be inaugurated in a few days. This is most encouraging news to this great enterprise and we sincerely hope that the company may realize their fullest expectations, and that no obstacles will arise to deter the speedy construction of this link of the proposed road. Mr. John R. Gray, of this comity,who has been making quite an extended tour of Kansas, Texas and Missouri, in search of a location, returned home last week. He accompanied Mr. James, of the Union, as far as Fort Scott, Kansas. He reports having had a pleasant trip and is welLpleased with Texas, and tells us he hasconcluded to remove to that State shortly, and will locate near the town of Denton.
