Mr. Leopold has given his fourth order for alpaceas and cashmeres this season. The goods of this description introduced by him are very popular in this market.

John ——, well, a young gentleman bearing an unwriteablo German name, had a terrible gash cut on his head a day or two since by a brick falling from Mr. McCoy’s new building. Mr. F. J. Sears is east, doing the Centennial, and buying goods. He will only send home the best of goods and great bargains. Call at F. J. Sears & Co.’s and see their new goods. Hon. W. W. Curry will speak upon political topics-in Remington on Saturday, September 23, 1876, at 1 o’clock p. m. Let everybody come and hear this very able and distinguished speaker. The weather for the past three or four days has had a tendency to induce ague, and a number of persons hereabouts are gaping, stretching and exhibiting other premonitory symptoms. Services will be held at the Meihodist Episcopal church in this place next Sabbath, morning and evening. Rev. J. 11. Cissel, of Laporte, and Elder R. Hargrave are expected to be present.

Go and bear this eloquent and distinguished orator. The Remington string band favored us with a serenade last Saturday night, for which thanks are returned. The music was charming, the evening propitious, and the close proximity to Sunday morning made the occasion hallowed and serene.

The third and last game of base ball, and the one which was to decide the oontest between the Clippers and Clumsies, was played on the Fair Ground Tuesday afternoon, resulting in an overwhelming victory for the latter, the score standing 40 to 7 in their favor. The members -of the Resselaerbrass band have received their new uniforms, which consist of capes, caps and sashes, but being dissatisfied with the capes have concluded to get coats made here to suit. When they get into their new uniforms the boys will make a very fine appearance. Mr. C. D. Stackhouse, who lives about three and a half miles north of Rensselaer, desires to inform the people of Jasper county that he has just received a bran splinter new sorghum mill that will make one hundred gallons of sorghum molasses every day. That made by him is said to be an excellent quality. Let all persons interested bear this in mind. Old man Korn, of Remington, and Johnnie Boroughs wereplaying cards and drinking liquor Tuesday night and fell out about the game. Boroughs kicked Korn a time or two, and the old man retaliated by stabbing Johnnie with a pocket knife in the thigh, cutting an ugly gash two or three inches long in theflesh, and causing him to step more lightly on one foot than the othor. A little son of Mr. William Beck, about two years and a half old, placed bis hand under the saw while a member of the family was pawing wood, a few days since, and had the little finger of his right hand cut through the bone, so that it was attached by only a small portion of flesh. Dr. Loughridgo placed the member in proper-posi-tion, dressed and bandaged it, and 4 now promises to grow on again.
