Wheatlield Telephone. Rensselaer promises to be a city of no mean pretensions. It has meandering like a trout brook the Monon railway and the day is not far off when the engineer on the Chicago Sc Wabash Valley will toot his bell and ring his whistle down on the beautiful riverlet Iroquois, and the clangclang of the cymbals on the Gilman & Kendallville road will lull the little tots to sleep while the parents walk down to the court house and listen to the hand also hear the Hon. T. J. McCoy make his maiden speech, setting forth hia reasons for aspiring to the office oE congressman.
