Mrs. Jacob Keener brought the first ripe cherries to this market on last Friday. They were of the red ox-hoart variety, sweet and very fine. On a small twig about ten inches long, brought to this office, were between forty-five and fifty well developed drupes, besides the stems of several others that birds had plucked away. °An orchard of suoh fruit would bring one a convenient income, and they are not so very troublosome to raise but that a few trees, might be on each farm in the county. Mrs. Hemphill has moved her stock of millinery goods down stairs into the old room above Fendig’s store. Sho has a good assortment of ladies’ and children's hats, bonnets, dress goods, dross trimmings, ribbons, articles of ladies’ apparel, otc. Her rooms are conveniently located and arranged for tho reception of customers and a general invitation is thus extended to all who desire anything pertaining to the millinery or dress-making lines to call at hor establishment. Mr. N- Warner made a family, carriage for Mr. Mills, of Goodland, which was delivered to that gentleman on Monday of this week. It was a two-seated vehicle with leather top, fine cloth cushions, silver-tipped ornaments. Tho price was S4OO. Mr. A. Leopold offered his own family carriage of equal capacity and in good condition and one hundred dollars in money for it, but there was no trade. Warner makes splendid carriages and buggies—in fact, can't be beaten.

At presont writing Jasper county has about $28,000 in her treasury, with only about SB,OOO of outstanding orders. After these are paid, and the June distribution of school revenue is made to the several townships, there will still remain in the treasury between SIO,OOO and $12,000 of county revenue belonging to the several funds. Mr. John 0. Vanßensselaer returned to Ms home in New Brunswick, N. J., on last Monday morning, after a sojourn of ten days among the scenes of earlier days. Fine summer shawls just received by Leopold at prices 25 per cent, lower than ever. „. The beet thread in America, for 70 cents a dozen spools, at F. J. Sears & Co.’s.

The exercises at tho M. K. Church last Sabbath evening wore quite interesting, all the participants acquitting themselves with credit. It was called a quarterly concert of the Sunday school, but the exorcises were varied, consisting of prayor, singing, dialogues, declamations, essays, etc. Mr. AbbeU’s essay was well prepared, well read, and decidedly interesting. In religion or politics stick to your groove, if you -please, but in business you must switch into now tracks, invent new wnye of buying cheaply, of underselling .competitors, fend of attracting custom. When you visit Rensselaer, go and see Ludd Hopkins whether you need to buy goods or not; take a look at his stock anyway, and iearn his prices. As was heretofore announced there will be a meeting of the board of directors of the Jasper County Agricultural & Mechanical Association on the 27th instant; but not for tho purpose of altering tho by-laws of tho society, as has been erroneously stated. This would require a meting of tho stockholders which has not been called. John 11. Akcmand Henrietta 8. Lewis were, on the Bth inst., licensed to marry. On the 9th Justice Jackson performed the interesting ceremony at his office in the court house, in the presence of tho public officers and board of county commissioners who toofc a recess for that purpose. Mr. Jacob Eiglcsbach’s. new meat shop is a marvol of neatness. Everything about it inside and out lias been receiving a fresh coat of pnint. He is a good butcher, very neat, and his are all of tho best quality. Shop opposite Austin's hotel, one door above the post office. Marshal Smoot bad filed his bond scarcely a dozen hours before he commenced warning people out to work on the streots. Tho bridge at the junction of Front street with the county road, over Makeliimsclf run, was the first work of repairing commenced. Lost —On Tuesday tho Cth instant, between town and Mr. John T. Sayler’s residence, on tho Chicago road, one calico dress and pair of ladies’ slippers. The finder will bo suitably rewarded by leaving the same with the above named or at this office.

It will next be in order for calling sometime in August. Messrs. Minnicus & Kohler are nearly ready to fire a kiln of 300,000 to 350,000 brick, most of which are contracted to Alfred McCoy, Esq , and Hon. R. S. Dwiggins, who will erect residences for themselves this summer. No liconse was granted to the gentleman who applied to the board of Commissioners to sell spirituous ahd nmult liquors in the town of Remington. He had not been a resident cf the town long enough to prove a good character. The tux levy for corporation purposes in Rensselaer this year is 25 cents on the SIOO. The total levy for all purposes—corporation, road, spocial school and tuition, amounts to 85 cents on each SIOO valuation uud 25 cents poll. Judge Ward, of Lafayette, has been invited to deliver the oration at Rensselaer on the Fourth of July. A petition lias been sent to Governor Hendricks for tbs loan of a piece of artillery for that occasion. Additional local items will bo found on the eighth, or last, page of this number. Hereafter there will be no particular place for them, but they will-be scattered about wherever thoro happens to bo room. Mr. Thomas Thompson and wife talk of visiting the Centennial Exposition next wcok. If they decide to go they will probably visit Niagara Falls, New York City, Washington, etc.

A new picket fence built by Mr. William Powers adds materially to the appearance of the R. J. Hopkins property opposite the mill. Dr. Martin is moving his familj into the house. Messrs. F. J. Sears & Co. will close their store on the 4th of July. Their patrons will plo&sc take notico and complete all necessary purchases on tho day before. Mr. N. Warner has opened a vigorous campaign in the farm machinery business. Read his new advertisement on the eighth page of this paper. Linen suits, dress linens, grass cloth and cambrics; Balbriggan and fancy striped hose; fine fans and parasols, just received at Ludd Hopkins'. It is admitted by all who cxnmino the large stock of clothing at Willey & Sigler’s that it is the best and cheapest ever brought to this market. Mr. Henry C, Bruce has been visiting frieuds in Vermont for & week or two. His health has been quite indifferent all tho spring. Ten days hence you will find the new crop of Japan tea at Ludd Hopkins’ store. It is now on the way from a Son Francisco house.

Rubber paint is rapidly gaining popularity wherevor it is used ; it promises to soon lead all others ; for sale at lines’ drug store We havo reduced the price of percales and lawns to 12$ cents per yard.
