LOCAL MATTERS.

Pleasant winter weather this. Clothing at coat, to close oat at F. J. Sears & Oo.’a. Buy coal of Norman Warner. Full weights guaranteed. Ilouse for rent in Rensselaer. .Enquire of Noble J. York. . Gentlemen's wool overshirts at Ludil Hopkins' for 11 each. What has become of that pro* jected railroad to this place? The meetings at the Methodist church are growing in interest Corn is worth 45 to 50 cents a bushel in wagoija on the street A new addition to the town of Rensselaer has been laid off by Mr. Leopold. A new stock of gold band fine French china tea sets, just received, at C. C. Starr's. The best waterproofs ever sold in this town, for 75 cents 4 yard, at F. J. Sears & Co.’s. Fat hogs are quoted at $5 per hundred, live weight; dressed carcasses, at $7 per hundred. Go and look at Hopkins' last purchases in cloaking beavers, jeans, flannels and fine cassimeres. Every conceivable article, from a Jews harp to a steam engine, for the holidays, at Charley Starr’s. A large stock of toys, for the holidays, will be opened at Charley Starr's next week. Go and see them*

C. C. Starr still has a supply of that 50 cent tea. The best tea for the money in the market. Get some and tjy it. Notice.—All persons having accounts with F. J. Sears <fc Co. are requested to call and settle before January 1, 1877. The largest and best variety of holiday goods ever brought to Rensselaer, will be. opened at C. C. Starr’s next week.

Perhaps it may not be known to everybody, but nevertheless it is a fact that Norman Warner keeps a stock of iron for sale to country blacksmiths. Ladies’ furs in jet black with Victoria are. the most fashionable thia winter. They are nice. Leopold’s is the only house in town that keeps them. One of the cleverest clerks in this town is Frank Myers, at W. J. lines’ drug store. Don’t fail to look at the holiday stock to opened there next week. Holidays are approaching and already the little folks are begin* ning to dance with joy in anticipation of the annual visits of Chris Kringle and Santa Claus. Cattle found ruuning at large within the corporation limits between the first day of December and the first day ot March are subject to fine and imprisonment. A splendid stock of silver ware has just arrived at Charley Starr’s and it eclipses anything of the kind ever before brought to this market. Castors,* cake baskets, etc., in moat beautiful designs and handsomely gnished. Go and see for yourselves. Leopold’s clerks are always courteous, in good humor, and ever willing to show goods. No laziness there. Call and look at those elegant black mohair lustres just received. There is always a good assortment of dress goods of the latest styles on his shelves. A. festival wilt be held at the court house Saturday evening next the proceeds of which are to be appropriated to the use of the Sabbath school of the Presbyterian church. All who desire to see the Sabbath school cause prosper are invited to be present.

Mr. A. L&opo’d, one of the most pyblie spirited gentlemen in the county, offers to donate to the town of Rensselaer a lot suitable for the purpose, in the southeast part of town near Mr. John Coen’s resilience, if the corporation will build a school house upon it. Mr. John E. Alter, teacher of Rosebud school, Union township, ■reports the enrollment of 30 pupils during the month ending on Friday, December I, 1876; and the average daily attendance of 20. Jennie Humes, Dawid Alter, Isaac Alter, Eda Murphy and James AtoColly lost no tme.

By all means examine Charley Starr’s mammoth stock of holiday goods before concluding purchases. It will be to yonr interest to do so. Clara Watson, teacher of the Bruce school in Marion township, reports that all her pupil* were industrious and orderly daring the month ending December Ist, 1876. She reports that Alhe Brown’s grade on general average wrfs above 97, and that Mattie Williams, Willie Babcock, Lizzie Huston, Nellie Wasson, T h «mas Huston and Charles Brown were graded above 94. Business is so erowded at Leopold’s that he was compelled to employ another salesman in order to wait upon customers. Those who now favor him with a visit will find somebody ready and anxious to fill their orders with dispatch. Do not neglect to examine his stock before making purchases of winter goods either for ladies or gentlemen. This stock must and will be sold before the first of January, 1877. Very often people ask why Leopold sells so many goods? How is it he has such a large trade? The answer is easily made. It is because: He keeps a full assortment of everything in his line. Low prices are charged. No high store rent to pay/ No partners to share profits with. Discounts all bills of goods. > But the chief reason is found in his strict attention to the laws of trade.

There are many articles which people buy every day and pay fuij prices for that I wish to cast out of my trade, and in order to get them out of the way as soon as possible will sell them without one cen profit. Among them are: a lew fine gold rings, bracelets, yardrops, teaspoons, table epoonX, pocket knives, wash bowls and pitchers, water tureens, and many others in that line. Lldd Hopkins. Dr. S. W. Ritchey desires us to announce that a public meeting will be held in the court house on Wednesday evening, December 13 th, at wfiich will be discussed the business depression of the limes, the causes that have pro duced it, and to take preliminary steps to secure a measure of relief. It is proposed to petition congress and the legislature of Indiana with regard to the subject. Of the former body will be asked the repeal of the resumption act, the repeal of the act which demonetizes silver coin, and the passage of an act authorizing an increase ot the volume of treasury notes or national paper currency. Of the legislature will be asked instructions to the United States senators from Indiana embracing the foregoing proposition, and the passage of an act to relieve the debtor clastof present embarrassment by prolonging the stay of execution upon all existing indebtedness at least two years. An invitation is ex tended to people of all shades of political sentiment to attend this meeting and participate, in its deliberations.
