Wk have now on exhibition the largest and best line of Hamburg olginga to be found in the county, at panic prices. Eadies-especially Invited to call and examine at the New York store. F. J. Sears A Co. Marriage Licenses were issued the past week to the following parties: William Hamilton and Dianna E Nickerson, David A. Elder and Magdalena Chupp, George Morehead and Alice Vincent. Now is the the time for merchants to advertise their spring goods. Trade promises to be unusually brisk this spring and the merchants who advertise are the ones who will reap the largest share of it. Muddy.—The balmy weather of the past day or two has placed the roads in a very muddy condition, and should the inild spell continue a few days it will render them almost impassable for teams. Millinery—Miss Lulu Meredith will open a millinery parlor in the rooms over W. J. Inies’ diug: store, recently vacated by Messrs. R. S. A Z. Dwiggins, on the 20th instant. Miss Meredith comes from Remington, where she has been in business a year or more. The sheet and pillow case party given in Starr’s Hail Tuesday night is said to have been one of the pleasantest social events that has transpired in Rensselaer for many a day. The attendance was large, the music rrood and everything passed offquietIjr and in order. School Report.—Report of school No. 9, Marion township for the last month, ending February 28, 1879: Number pupils enrolled during the month, 22; average attendance, 15. Those whose record is 3 in conduct andstudy.are Frances Adams, Marion Adams, Amsie Williams, Phebe Wood, Charles Wood, Lizzie Bontrager and Charlie Shew.. A. C. Jones, Teacher. The temperance meeting at the Otiriftian church, last Monday evening. was largely attended and the exercises gave general satisfaction. The ••loud corner?’ at these meetings still continues to be a sburee of annoyance notwithstanding the rebuke of “Artful Dodgei” which appeared in these columns a. rhort time ago. Beware. Übye. Disturbing puttie meetings iw a* violation of 'the- lawt and yoa are Hable to prosecution for every offense of the kind.

AMS AN ACS.—Copies of Professor Tice’s National Weather Almanac for 2879, ate for safe at Th■ Union office tor Maenta each. Every former should have one In hla house. Thk Rensselaer cornet band is an Institution to be proud of. It has an enviable reputation abroad as well as at home. To come right down to business, it is hard to beat. Springlike—The weather to-day is warm and springlike. Wild geese are making their annual tour northward, the average school-boy may be seen with his pockets full of marbles ready for the ever-popular game of “keeps,” and-every indication points to the early advent of spring. Mrs. Eliza J., wife of John Adamson, Esq., died last Friday morning, of a pulmonary affection, aged 50 year*. She was an exemplary member of the Presbyterian church thirty years, and was a citizen of Jasper county nearly as long. Husband, children, grand children and a numerous circle of friends mourn the death of an estimable woman. School Report.—Miss Amanda Osborne, teacher of the Daugherty school in Mnrion township, reports for ths month ending February 28: Number of pupils enrolled, 80; average attendance, 22.5; those whose report was 3 for the month are Clara Amos, Allie Brown. Grace Daugherty, Lizzie Huston, Lena Melchow, Emma Tapp. Lizzie Huston was perfect in attendance during the ferm. Physician—The board of county commissioners to-day awarded to Dr. I. B- Washburn the contract to supply the poor of Marion, Newton, Jordan, Milroy, Hanging Grove and Barkley townships with medical attendance for one year for $299.50. Dr. Washburn as county physician gave general satisfaction last year and saved the public revenue several hundred dollars. He also succeeded in building up an excellent private practice.

Mrs. Aseneih Coen died on Sunday last (March 2d), aged 85 years. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. W. G. Vessels at the Presbyterian church, on Tuesday. Grandma Coen was of those of whom it is trulysaid: Ye are of the salt of the earth. Between forty and fifty of her descendants, children, grand children and great grand children, are residents of Jasper county, and among them two sons, Wm. S. Coen and Hugh E. Coen, trustees respectively of Marion and Newton townships. < Remember, the Rensselaer Dramatic Club will appear probably for the last time this season one week from next Saturday night, in the thri> ling sensational dramaentitled Si mon Lee, or the Murder of Five Field Cops; also, Hiram Hireout, or Fallowed by Fortune. New stage properties and splendid cast of characters. The success which crowned their efforto Isst Saturday night ought to be sufficient guaranty- of a full house to witness the presentation of the plays selected for this occasion. Homeopathy.—Dr. Link, homeopathist, of Paris, lib, is visiting in Jasper county and considering Renssalaer as a suitable place to locate for the practice of his profession. Jasper county contains ten thousand inhabitants with only one physician of that school, Dr. Harding, in her borders. It ought certainly to support another one, particularly if he can apply the infinitesimal theory to matters of diet, fuel, clothing, and capital. But, Jesti ng aside. Dr. Link is a-gentleman of prepossessing manners, and we trust will receive encouragement sufficient to induce him to become a permanent resident of Rensselaer. State Prison North—Messrs. John Lee, Fred. Hoover and Simon Wile, directors of the prison north, will meet in executive session next Tuesday. We guess that Warden Mayne “must go.” He has been there eight years and how should be willing to give away fora “more hungrier man.” which the same may potsibly be,the gentleman from- La FayH ette, Murdock by- name. For moral Instructor Rev. Hope B. Miller, of Rensselaer, seenis to have excellent prrspects. For the various positions in-and about this penal institutionguards, clerks, etc.,—it is reported that, the number 1 of hungry democratic and national applicants reaches nearly five hundred.

A Lying Fabrication.

Free Um Winamac Dratse/wf. • i Ths Rensselaer Union contradicts a di*pwtek in the Chicago Times that tba town ’ of Rensselaer wu considerably excited orsr ths sadden death of Dr. Moss, and denies that there was any suspicion of foul play. The dia; a'oh ia a lying fabrication of some irresponsible item gatherer To make a sensation.

Someting Every One Knows.

From the Detrbit Frss Prm. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. One of the things that is impossible to leach the average man is that be is not the most competent person in the world to manage a newspaper. Every man you most can give an editor points on the publication of a newspaper. There are very few men that could not. if they had the chance, run the circulation of any given paper up to 100,000 at least. Every one knows just whst the people of this country need, and they are generally amazed that the editor does not seise the particular advantage they can see so plainly. Thue it is that every new paper is started to fill a long felt want. The promoters feel it a duty they owe a suffering public to supply what has been so urgently needed.
