Local Brevities.

All that F. J. Soar* & Co. ask of (be trade of Rensselaer and vicinity is to call and examine their stock of goods !ja They guarantee that their general stock through is cheaper than that of any other house in town. ■s» Messrs. Geo. W. Burk and Riley Noweß shipped a carload of hogs to Chicago last week, for which they got $5.90 per hundred weight. The hogs were nice smooth ones, that averaged a trifle upwr-da of 200 each at the city yards. Baseball fever is again prevailing in this locality. Quite an excitement was occasioned by a little game played in town on last Saturday afternoon, belweon the Rensselaer Clippers and the Nubbin Ridgors. The Booro was 60 for the former to 12 for the latter. It has made the Clippers awfully conceited. If your watch needs repairing leave it at the Austin House and it will be done in a workmanlike manner, on reasonable terms, by J. 8. Wigmore, who is with Will H. Fierce, (late Morgan & Son,} at Remington. Mr. Wigmore is well known in this vicinity, and needs no recommendation from us. All work warranted, #5. At a regular meeting of Iroquois Lodgo No. 148 I.
