General News Sumrary.

* Y&wITfV S&sJftbe for the New York Weekly Trihunt. Special rales. Inquire at the post office. Extensive preparations are being made by the citizens of Sfln Francisco to welcome the return of Gen. Grant ig a magnificently imposing manner. Probably nothing like it has evqj been seen on the continent. Don’t jgivc up the ship, but get ready to stand by Thk Union under the new regime, with a liberal patronage. Improvements of an important character will make it the very best paper ever published in Jasper county. A good jeweler with a medium stock of goods can make a respectable living at lieusselaer.. A i’icancy is about to occur in ibis line of business which will give a monopoly in one of the best and healthiest trading towns in the state.

There is not a town in the state of Indiana that shows more improvements in . progress, a belter financial condition or more conclusive evidence of prosperity, for the number of its inhabitants, than the town of Rensselaer. We have no public debt, taxes are low, business is good. Besides, we aio at the head of a railroad, and likely to remain so for some time to come. Kentland is to have a grand temperance demonstration day after to-morrow. Do Hart, Lingle, Whitehall and other speakers of notoriety will be present. Judge Troxel is master of ceremonies and ex-Sheriff Warren marshal of (he day. A silk flag will be presented to the' largest delegation ot the Temperance Christian Union. No doubt there will bo a happy time it the weather is propitious. Now is the time to buy landed property in Jasper county. To-day prices are all of 25 to 50 per cent, below a fair valuation. Two years hence prices ot this kind of property iu the neighborhood of Rensselaer wilt be at an altitude that will surprise people who think little about the subject now. Lots in the town of Rensselaer have never been valued at anything nearly what they are really worth, considering the location oT the towft for businss. Ohio republicans are being cautioned by onlookers on every hand not to become careless. The result at the present time is seemingly so srtrethat fears arise that our friends in that state may relax their efforts. The’question now is, not if Foster will be elected governor, nor is it will he beat Ewing 30,000, but can •the majority be made 50,000 and can they also overcome the disadvantage of gerremandering and secure the legislature?

Mails are closed At the Rensselaer post office dully, except‘Sundays, for Remington and all points outside of Jasper county, at 12 o’clock m. Daily mails are due at the post office at 8:20 p. m. If on time they are distributed and delivered on the evening ot arrival. The Rensselaer post office is open daily from 7 o’clock a. m. to 9 o’clock p. m. On Sundays, from 12 o’clock m. to 1 o’clock p. m. Money order and register business cannot be transacted on Sundays. Among the most important industries in its bearings upon the future of Jasper county, is the manufacture of drain tile. Two factories will open out with vigor in the immediate vicinity of Rensselaer next season. One of themexperimented enough this year to establish tho fact .that good clay for this purpose is found here which can be developed at small cost—small enough to leave a haudsome margin for those who engage in tho enterprise. With a tolerable system of under-drainage Jasper county can be made to produce small grain as surely and profitably as any locality iu the western middle states.

A marked improvement is seen id the list ot transfers of real estate recorded during the past week. Ileal estate trade in Jasper county, especially in Rensselaer and its immediate neighborhood, is bound to be good within eighteen months or two years. Prices are way below reasonable figures now, but they will become respectable within the time named.' People generally will be surprised at real estate values two years hence. It is the very best possible investment of surplus funds lhatean be made at the present tithe. Business never has been overdone in Rensselaer, nor has there ever been any feverish speculating done, but good tunes are upCti us now and we afe to have a fair start with the good times which all wise men foresee are about to revive the industries of the entire 'country. This is no time to sell out and go west. This is the time to consider a piece of land and in buy.
