Estey” troupe of vocalists and bell ringers gave one of their choice entertainments in Bedford’s hall last Thursday evening. This was their first appearance in Rensselaer, and, we must say,\they made a very favorable impression. The music of those charming bells was pronounced excellent by all who had the pleasure of listening to it, and the vocal music was also highly appreciated by the audience. Several comic pieces were rendered with good effect, and, all things considered, the company acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. On Monday, March 19th, Mr. John Besloskey will make a public sale of live stock on his farm in Newton township, six miles west of Rensselaer. Said property consists of 10 head of young work horses, all good stock; 13 head of calves; 33 head of cattle including 13 cows, 7 two-year old steers and 18 head of two and three years old heifers.

A Card to the Publie.

For many years wo have made (wo medicines suited to the ailments of a vast class of sufferers. Thousands of cures have been made by them, and, in fact, the word failure could not bo coupled with them. But within the last two years counterfeits of our medicines have sprung up, dangerousin their close imitation of our Trade Mark. To secure the people we have placed upon each genuine box of Holloway’s Ointment the sac Simile of the signature of our agent, Mr. Jos. Haydock. To counterfeit is felony. We shall relentlessly pursue anyone who imitates this with tho utmost vigor of the law. We most earnestly beg that the great mass of the American people will aid us in our efforts to protect their health, and help us in our task of bringing these most unprincipled men to Ibe bar of justice. Uniformly refuse to purchase medicines purporting to be ours unless Mr. Jos. Haydock’s signature is attached to each box of Pills or pot. of Ointment and the end will soon be reached. , The public’s obedient servants, Koy. '74. Holloway & Co. ■ Warden Mayne and Dqputy Warden Hall were in Indianapolis thia week, taking out the alltyjed crookedness of kit e one aided majority report as to the management of the states prison north. We believe itis the opinion of our best informed citizens thatthe report, while it commended the financial and economical results, did great injustice in censuring the'officials in the matter* of food furnished. As to these charges we have no doubt that a searching investigation would disprove both, and show that for kind treatment, and in the quality of provisions furnished, the state prison north will rank among the best man aged penitentaries in the country. Aremoustrance (numerously signed by republicans and democrats) against the allegations of the report has been presentd to the legislature. We may also state that the prison building committe, who were last Monday, having had their attention called to the matter, made searching inquiry into the facts and became fully satisfied that the report was not sustninedby them. — Michigan City Enterprise.

There is a probability of an early resumption of work on the defunct I. D. & C. railroad. Nothing could be more desirable, but we have our sad doubts as to the.truth of the report However, there is a great deal of talk and wind work going on, the papers along the line of proposed road wasting a vast amount of valuable space in working public opinion up to sticking point in favor of the road. Attempts most numerous, have been made, much to the detriment ot many people to secure the completion ot this line, and we don’t propose to advocate any further proceedings until we feel assured of the sincerity of the company or its contractors, in pushing forward and effecting the early construction of the r.oad. And whenever we feel so assured, then will the columns of the Democrat be open in advocacy of this enterprise, which is now attracting the attention of tlfb leading men ot the country. — Monticello Democrat. The Rensselaer Union says a reading circle, composed ni >stly of unmarried ladies, meets in Rensselaer once a week, and has for its. object the culture and development of a taste for literature, sociability and refined manners. ; W.e can, match ’em with Fowler’s literary club, composed exclusively of bachelors ami single young men, who allow no mu>rrie<l tnan- to cross the ihreßbhbld of their precincts.— Fonder Herald. If the charges of the Reform Journal against the prison officials are even half true, searching investigation is demanded in the interests of justice and humanity. We nfay Say, however, that they are not generally believed in this Cl I y.— JfwAfycLj {.’ffy fWerprine.
