A. W. Cleveland has msvod on his farm. v Wm. B. Austin is engaged in taking the enumeration of scholars between the ages of six years and twenty-one years, who are entitled to attend the Rensselaer school. Horace Peacock and family, have returned from a sojourn of several ye&rs in the territory of New Mexico. They will probably become permanent citizens of Rensselaer or vicinity. To School. —Zimri Paris, John Paris and Clark Price will start in Purdue University on next Monday. Cbarles W. Coen is taking a commercial course at Indianapolis. Elmer Dwiggins will attend the Normal at Terre Haute. Biiilb Society. —At the annnal meeting of the Jasper county Auxiliary American*Bible Society held at the Presbyterian church in Rensselaer, Sunday evening, April 6tb, Rev. Gilbert Small delivered a sermon upon “The Bible.” Alter which Jonathan Peacock was elected president of the society for the ensuing year, Frank W. -Babcock secretary and Willis J. lines treasurer. A collection was taken np which amounted to sl.lO. A motion prevailed that the board of officers should ipeet at the office of Frank W. Babcock, at 7 o’clock Wednesday evening April 9th, to appoint a soliciting committee and transact any other appropriate business.

Renewed Obligation. —Our neighbor of the Democratic Sentinel claims to have petitioned the president of the United States to appoint the editor ofTHE Union to a consulate. This, too, was in addition to his autograph petition to Postmaster General Key to appoint him postmaster at Iter,sselaer. For this second and continued record mark ot friendship and high esteem it would indeed he ungrateful and small not to make public acknowledgement. May Brother McEwen prosper, repent of hi* democratic sinfulness, grow in grace, and finally stand among those who have an abundant entrance into the joys that arc prepared for the righteous and republicans. “—Headstones. —Quarter Master General M. C. Meigs has recently issued a circular staling that congress has authorized the erection of headstones at the graves of Union soldiers who arc buried in private and village cemeteries, and have not already been provided with monuments by relatives or friends. This will be dune as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. He is now collecting information as to these headstones are required, and invites correspondence from all persons having knowledge of such graves td communicate the fact to the quariermaetergcocral City, IT. C\, end give the regiment, company and date of death of deceased. Similar information is desired from parties in charge of such cemeteries.

Don’t forget or neglect to call at the stone building and he convinced that Mr. Leopold sells all articles in his iarge stock of general merchandise at less prices than the'same quality and style of goods are offered by competing establishments. He states positively that he paid cash down for every article in his recent large purchase, thereby reeeiving*a large discount from the jobbers; then he pays no rent as he owns the room in which he .docs business; his other expenses are comparatively small ; thus he is enabled to offer ind cements to customers that no house can do that pays gilt edged rents and buys at 00 and 90 days time. Do not fail, then, to call and learn what he will dp. For cash, and the *cady cash otily, his prices will surely astonish those who have been nCOßStomed to deal with houses that do not possess these great advantages. As an illustration of this point-we ette that he has good clothing well worth six dollars a suit that he will sell for three dollars and fifty cents cash. Other articles in proportion. Again we repeat, do not forget- or neglect to call and at least ekamine tits goods and learn their prices.,

Tub Rensselaer Union does the editor of this paper a great injustice last iu saying that he kngpr and consented to the substitution of the name of Col. Healey, the for prosecuting attorney, upon the democratic tickets iu' the place of the regular nominee, immediately preceding electiou day. The editor of this paper emphatically and positively denies any knowledge or participation, either direotly or indirectly, in this matter. He was not “a conspicuous member of the democratic party thon as now;” was not a delegate to any convention for either party, was not a member of the cobnty or township central committees; did not help to make up the tickets, did not print them, and does not know to this day where they were got up and printed.
