R. A. Rook of Chicago firm has a pen full of western bronchos or ponies at the railroad stockyard, east of the depot which he is selling at most any old price, in cash. Many of the bronchos are very handsome animals. The preliminary teachers’ township institute for Keener township will be held Saturday, Sept. 16th. and not on the 15 as was erroniously published.

John Alvin and wife, of Chicago who have been in town a few days, went home this afternoon. They came in on bicycles, having made quite a tour through the northeast part of this state. Mr. Alvin was here to close up the sale of a 40 acre tract near Dunnville, which he sold to Olive Turner. An artifical tooth plate with four teeth in it was found near the jail, a few days ago. Any person missing property of that kind lately can call around at the sherriff’s residence and try the fit. Another curious find made lately was a glass eye, said to have been found at the old settlers’ meeting grounds. The glass eye is not so useful as the false teeth, but more ornamental. It is better adapted to look at than to look with. Fred Parcels left for Tyndall, South Dakota, this morning, where he is backed by prominent citizens for a foot race against South Dakota’s greatest runner, for a stake of SSOO. The date of the race is not arranged yet, but Fred expects to have a week or two for training. He gets his expenses if he loses, and nothing out. If he wins he gets half of the stakes, and his backers the other half. If the ■other fellow wins he will have to run for his money. * ’

The frost probably did very little damage, as corn is about all out of danger from that source. Tuesday Sept. sth was the hottest day for years. The thermometer stood at 100 in the shade, and 120 to 140 in the sun. Sept. 13, eight days later there was quite a severe frost. Which is only another instance of the remarkable versatality of our climate. The biographical history of Tippecanoe, White Jasper, Newton, Benton, Warren and Pulaski counties is now being delivered to Rensselaer subscribers. The work is in two large volumes, of nearly 550 pages each It is well printed with fine large type, on good paper and excellently well bound The portraits of which there are very well executed, and so far as can be judged by those of our own citizens they are very life like. The biographical sketches are also all that could reasonably be expected in a work of the kind.

Among those of our citizens whose portraits adorn the work, are C. E. Mills, Judge S. P. Thompson, F. W. Bedford and his late wife Mrs. Elizabeth Bedford, B. F.JFerguson W. H. Rhoades. Also the late Henry Adams. All these Rensselaer pictures are good, aud by way comparison, it may be said that Mr Mills is the most conspicuous, his forming the frontispiece of the second volume, Judge Thompson’s is the most life like and Mr. the handsomest Judge Wiley looms up as the first picture in the first volume, but Dan Frazer is its most cherished ornament. There will be the usual services at the Methodist Church next Sunday morning and evening. The “new preacher” for Conference year will preach. Come out and hear him! The subject for morning service will be “Grace and Peace Multiplied.” In the evening the subject may be called, “A Boquet of Sweet P’s” All are cordially invited.

Sues for a Piece of Land.

The tract of land which forms about 450 feet of the south end of Scott street, which has heretofore been the cause of a good deal of wrangling, has at last been brought into the circuit court. Mrs. Rosa Seib, now of New York, has brought suit against the city of Rensselaer to quiet her title to the property. As a matter of fact the tract has been a part of the street.since 1878, but from some oversight it was never properly laid out as such, and Mr. Seib bought it of the Weston heirs quite a number of years ago. The strong point in favor of its being a street is that it has been regarded and used as such for over 20 years. The strong point in favor of the Seib ownership is, perhaps, the fact that it has been assessed to them and they have paid taxes on it for a long period. The tract is about 450 feet long and 80 feet wide, has 10 or 12 lots facing upon it, and quite a number have houses upon them, among others being A. Lewis, the cigar manufactuer. The tract forms the only southern outlet to Division street as well as Scott street.
