Three brick-yards are running full gangs of bands to supply the local demand for briek for building purposes. Prosperity begins to boom in Rensselaer. Better buildings nnd more of" thetn are now under contract, than in any previous year of the town’s existence. And tho growth Is healthy, legitimate,.ufithont feverishness or undue excitement; indeed .there is not the least excitement about it, but eW'rd, body looks on as scfencly as if it was all a very ordinary and matter-of-conrsc condition. Iroquois dodge No. 113, Independent Order of Odd Kejlows, publicly installed her officers On . Tuesday evening. They are: Henry I. Adams, Noble Gland; George Sigler, Vice Grand; G. .

Hammond is industriously training licuclassof little girls fora public concert next Thursday night, the proceeds of which will be aiqilicd in paymbntof the Presbyterian Sunday school organ, which is a fine instrnment. We cannot help thinking that if the male inhabitants of Rensselaer were anything'like as enterprising and public spirited, as tho example of this unselfish woman the churches might lie painted, more good plank, walks could lie laid, overv street la) ornamented nnd sheltered with shade trees, a respectable fence would enclose the court-house square, anil a general appearance of smartness and tidiness more in keeping with progressive civiliz.-*tirtn would huecced a Rip Van Winklcish sloth, sleepiness and dilapidation that is only too common to provincial towus that have been long isolated from the active world of business. While these women anil girls arc giving their time and talents to make indoors attractive it should stimulate gentlemen to do as much for the surroundings. But whether this is done or not, a correct taste aud proper appreciation of • the beautiful, artistic,.refined aud ennobling, nnd » praiseworthy, desire to encourage the class and teacher, should assure them a crowded house. An hour cannot iie spent more pleasantly or more uroiltablv anywhere else.
