Several dollars’ worth of repairing is being done on the court house without and within. It has long been needed. Mr. A. Shepard is preparing to move to Nebraska—near Lincoln. It is a pity to have sach good citi- ' gens move from the oounty. A. Reeve, over Kannal’s drug ‘‘Atore, has seven different lenses, and is prepared to do any style of work in the photograph line.

Corn husking has commenced and in this vicinity the crop yields remarkably well. Fields are said to be turning off 75 and 80 bushels per acre, and the grain is usually plump and sound. Our merchants report business better than for ten years previous. People who desire bargains in dry goods, clothing, boots, shoes, groceries, etc., should call at the Stone Store before leaving town.Don’t the Hopkins hotel look ever so much better with a little pinking? Its outside neatness is but a faint reflection of the excellence within. The proprietor spreads a splendid table for his guests. Elsewhere in these columns may be found the card of the famous Austin House, which has been for a long time a favorite stopping place of strangers having business in Rensselaer, It still mantains its well-earned reputation for excellence.

Eighteen new houses have been completed and begun in Rensselaer since last spring. Among them- is a three story brick for business rooms, a brick bakery and several neat frame cottages and brick dwellings. Rensselaer is, without doubt, among the liveliest towns in Indiana. There is a fine country around it, and business is not yet overdone. People from the country who have business in town that keeps them during the day, and who do not want to go to a hotel for dinner, will find Hemphill’s restaurant a nice, cosy place to get a warm meal. OysterST,' beef steak, “Earn and eggs, hot coffee, etc., served in good style at all hours. North side Washington 6treet, one door above Mrs. Hemphill’s brick store. Mr. Marsh H. Rice, of Francesville, solicits business in Pulaski and Jasper counties for the Continental Insurance company, of N, Y. Policies issued against loss by fire and lightning.

(From Record, of 4th instant.) The mail train has anew passenger coach attached to it. The dancing school is progressing finely with a goodly number of lads and lasses in attendance. A. J. Corkins’ stable was burned down last Saturday night. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary. . Rev. W. B. -Hendryx of this place has a library containing 900 volume which cost him over $1,600. - Mr. Pettitt, formerly of Logansport, is building 1 a room 20x36, south of D. V. Garrison’s harness shop, which will be used as a bakery. This, when completed, will be the eleventh building erected on Ohio street since last May, and one of them a *two-story brick, 80x90 feet. These buildings have cost the sum of $30,000. Now, when you consider the fact that this is only one street in the city, and that improvements have been going on in all parts of town, you’ can readily see that the growth of Remington the past season hasbeen extraordinarily rapid. In addition to these, are the two-story brick business room of Burger & Butler, on North street, and the elegant chnrch erected by the Catholics, on New York street.

Estray Notice.

warded.

$20,000 Wanted. The undersigned would respecfully inform those of his patrons who are in arrears for blacksmithing that for the three long years that he has been doing business in Rensselaer and faithfully laboring all t|je time to satisfy his customers, he has not been in such pressing need of money as at the E resent time, and has never before ad occasion to spur up those who are owing him. But now he needs money to pay off his indebtedness and purchase new material with which to carry on his business, and takes this method of earnestly requesting all those who are indebted to him to call in, settle and pay up. If you can’t pay all, pay what you can. Every little will help. Sampson Erwin. Rensselaer, Oct. 27, 1875. 6-3 mos.
