Oswego Palladium Oswego County, New York November 1, 1845 THE EIGHTH DISTRICT.--The nomination of Mr. STODDARD for a seat in the Senate from the Eighth District, is a capital one. He is a gentleman of fine talents, and an out-and-out Democrat. We wish we might entertain even a hope of his election, but suppose we may not. ___________ The Onondaga Standard states that a petition is in circulation asking the Governor to commute the sentences of VAN STEENBERG and O'CONNER. We hope a similar one may be got up here, and that it will be numerously signed, as we feel certain it would be. ________________ The democrats of Onondage county have nominated for the assembly, DENNIS M'CARTHY, LAKE I. TEFT, J.C.KINNE, and ALONZO WOOD. This is an excellent ticket, and one which will pretty certainly be elected. ________________ There is some corn raised in Oswego county. Mr. N. W. MYERS, of this town, has raided from about 10 acres of ground, 850 bushels of ears, which he thinks will measure 425 bushels of shelled corn. _______________ The flouring mill of Mr. RANNEY, at St. Catharines, C.

Mr. GOUGH, THE TEMPERANCE LECTURER.--On Friday of week before last, this gentleman arrived in the city of New York, and put up at the Croton Hotel. On the evening of that day, he stepped out for the purpose of taking a walk before retiring.--He did not get back that night, nor the next day, nor the day after. As he was known to have had between two and three hundred dollars in money with him, besides a gold watch, gold shirt buttons, and some other valuables, fears began to be entertained that he had been fouly dealt with. He had engaged to meet his wife at Albany on Monday of last week, and hence to proceed to Montreal. But he did not reach that city as he had agreed and she went on to New York. The uneasiness in relation to his disappearance increased and handbills announcing it were posted up in New York. On Friday last he was found in a house up an alley in Walker street. He was suffering from delirium and has not yet been able to give a full account of himself. He had, it has been ascertained, taken laudanum, but whether administered to him by others or taken by himself or not is not known. In his lucid intervals he says that on the night he walked out, he met with an old acquaintance, who persuaded him to take a glass of soda water with him, in doing which he saw some glances exchanged between the person serving the water and his companion that he did not like, but he did not notice any unusual taste in the water. He soon became giddy and from that time until he was found--one week--all is a blank. This is his account, though in contradiction of it, it is said there is no soda establishment at the place he says he drank the water with an acquaintance. The house where he was found is an obscure one, and of no good repute. Of his money; some $60 remained--the rest was gone. His watch &c., were restored. It is probable that he has fallen into temptation, and been conquered by his old enemy. But we trust he may renew his devotion to the cause, for from all we have heard of the man he was one greatly gifted to sway the hearts and wills of his hearors. ____________________ MARRIED On the 7th inst. by the Rev. Mr. DAVENPORT, FREDERICK C. MILLS, Esq. of the firm of SOOLITTLE, MILLS & CO., to Miss FREDERICA K. BURCKLE, eldest daughter of C. J. BURCKLE, Esq., all of this village.

SEVERE THUNDER STORM.--Our city and vicinity, was visited on Saturday evening last, wtih one of our old fashioned thunder storms, accompanied by heavy wind and lightning. We learn that in Whitesboro the chimnies of several houses were blown off and considerable damage done to out houses, fences, &c. In Deerfield, opposite this city, the home of AMASA ROWE, Esq. was struck by lightning--passing down the chimney, killing a dog of Mr. ROWE'S lying by the stove; passing throught to the cellar. Mr. ROWE was sitting by the stove at the time, but providentially escaped without any serious injury. FIRE AT MIDDLETOWN.--We learn that the beautiful village of Middletown was visited by a destructive fire on Tueday evening last. It originated in the store of JACKSON & CO. on Main st., and consumed six buildings, all erected in the last 5 years. In this fire, JAMES HOYT, BROADWELL & WHITE, SHAW & HANDFORD, merchants are sufferers. Also DANIEL ARMSTRONG, tailor; and COE G. BRADNER, Esq., in the burning of a valuable law library. Most of the buildings were insured. Of the amount of loss we have heard no estimate. _________________ JOHN B. GOUGH has published a confession. It is worth reading, though we doubt whether implicitt confidence can be placed in the statements. Still the story is told with great apparent candor and sincerity. He still clings to the idea that there was something put in the glass of soda-water he drank in Chatham street, which rendered him insensible to almost every thing that passed until he was found. _____________________ Hon. JOEL TURRIL left hthis place on Thursday evening, as Consul to the Sandwich Islands. He goies out, in the U.S. Frigate Congress, which sails from Norfolk, we believe, on the 2d of October. He is accompanied by his family. ___________________ That veteran Democrat, Col.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF. There was a very singular omission in the address to the Democratic Electors of this county in the last Palladium. The name of our esteemed candidate for Sheriff, Mr. LAWRENCE, was not even alluded to. The omission happened in this wise: The individual who copied the address for publication, inadvertantly skipt the paragraph on this subject, which reads thus: "As a candidaaate for Sheriff your delegates have presented Mr. ALVIN LAWRENCE, of Mexico, a gentleman favorably known in the county, and a Deputy of the present Sheriff and of his predeccessor. The perseverance, activity and faithfulness with which Mr. LAWRENCE has discharged the duties of the Office he now holds, give full assurance that when elected to the more responsible station to which he has been nominated, he will do honor to himself and give satisfaction to the public." It is fortunate, however, that Mr. LAWRENCE is a gentleman who does not stand in much need of recommendation. Where-ever he is known, he is highly valued both as an officer and a citizen. Probably no man in the county is better qualified for the office than he is. He is eminently deserving of the cordial and enthusiatic support of the Democratic Electors of the county.--That he will receive it and be triumphantly elected, we do not entertain a doubt. Debbie

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican May 24, 1849 FALL OF LIQUOR AND PROVISIONS - About one o'clock yesterday, a span of horses attached to a carriage, started by fright from Shaw & Moore's Livery stable, on Main street, and ran across the street to S. J. Myer's store, when the carriage came in contact with several casks of liquor laying upon the side-walk, breaking the heads of two or three casks, and emptying one entire pipe of brandy upon the ground. About the same hour, a gentleman from the country was driving down Aqueduct street, into Main, when his horse became unmanagable, and performed sundry curious feats with his heels, for the amusement of the spectators, and among them that of distributing certain boxes of doughnuts and other provisions in the waggon, were not the least laughable. The animal was finally subdued, and being disengaged from the vehicle, that had evidently been an unwelcome attachment, stood, when we left, under the windows of sanctum of the editor of the American, apparently awaiting a notice in that paper of to-day. * REV. CLEMENT M. BUTLER, D. D. - This distinguished and eloquent divine of the Episcopal Church, preached Sunday morning and afternoon at St. Luke's, and in the evening at Trinity, to crowded houses. Though we do not deem it proper, ordinarily, to notice such matters in the secular press — we cannot abstain in this instance from expressing our great admiration of the talents and eloquence of the preacher. Few men in this country, in the Episcopal or any other Church, surpass Mr. BUTLER in simplicity, purity & gracefulness of style, vigor of thought, and in that quite pathos which touches the heart. * OPPOSITION ON LAKE ONTARIO - A lively opposition of first class steamers is now kept up on the Canada shore, and bids fair to continue through the season. The Bank of Upper Canada own the opposition boats that are now running against Mr. HAMILTON'S mail line, and one of each leaves Hamilton and Niagara daily for Kingston, via Toronto and other intermediate ports.-- In some instances passengers have been carried the entire length of the lake, for one shilling in the cabin, and for nothing on deck. Twenty-five cents cabin, and twelve steerage, is the common price. The Kingston papers think that a dollar and a half, without board, would pay. The regular fare by the mail line has been latterly $4 between Toronto and Kingston. * ESCAPE - $100 REWARD - Robert B. DICKEY, of Camillus, Onondaga Co., charged with the murder of Mrs. NEELY of Fairfield, Herkimer county, it appears has escaped. A reward of $100 has been offered for him by the Sheriff of Herkimer county. He is described as about 38 years of age, and about five feet six inches high. The little finger on the left hand is stiff and crooked, in consequence of a cut. * ALMOST FATAL - A little child of Mr. C. S. SHARP, residing on North street, fell into a cistern, and by mere accident was discovered by its mother just in time to resuscitate it. Accidents of all kind are of almost daily occurrence, and should serve to caution people against leaving their cisterns exposed, especially where there are children. * MYSTERIOUS - A young woman, with an infant about two months old, came to the American Hotel on Wednesday last, and took lodgings. On Thursday evening she put the infant in bed, and left, and has not since been seen, nor has any one been able to discover from whence she came. — Yesterday three gentlemen called at the American in a carriage, took the infant suddenly, and disappeared. P. S. — Since writing the above, we have learned that the three gentlemen alluded to, were the City Att'y, Police Justice, and Overseer of the poor. * DREADFUL SHIPWRECK The Quebec Gazette of the 12th, gives the particulars of the wreck of the brig Hannah, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, by a collision with the ice, on the 29th of April. She foundered in about 40 minutes. The bark Nicaragua took off from the ice 129 passengers and seamen, and fifty-five perished with the cold. Capt. Marshal, of the Nicaragua, reports many vessels in the ice, and some of them in a damaged state. * MARRIED On the 15th inst., by Rev. Chester DEWEY, D. D., Mr. Byron D. McALPINE and Miss Mary E. REYNOLDS, all of this city. A liberal supply of cake accompanied the above proved that the printer was not forgotten, amid the general joy. Byron D. and Mary E. have our best wishes for a long and happy union. In Davidsonville, Michigan, on the 6th ult, by the Rev. C. OSBORNE, Charles B. HEBBARD, of Riga to Emily M.

Not that this has anything to do with news but I'm pretty sure Jumbo is stuffed and at Tuft's University. Maybe they could give you information on him. Janet

THE OWEGO, NY, RECORD Tioga County, NY July 2, 1896 FUNERAL SERVICES The funeral services of the late Mrs. Ray M. COLBY were held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence of Dr. C. L. STILES, Front Street, and were attended by a large circle of friends. Rev, C. M. BARTHOLOMEW of the Congregational church officiated and spoke with much feeling. He also read a letter from Rev., Dr. TAYLOR of Binghamton, who was unable to be present, in which the deceased was spoken of in most affectionate terms. The floral tokens were beautiful and elaborate. Among the prominent pieces was a handsome Maltese cross, a token of esteem from the Whatsoever Circle of King's Daughters, the members of which attended the funeral and accompanied the remains to their last resting place. Mrs. COLBY had been one of the most active members of this organization. The interment was in Evergreen cemetery. The bearers were A.W. PARMELEE, W. A. SMYTH, L. S. LEONARD, R. H. REDDISH, E. R. BOOTH, and D. D. BRESEE. Among those in attendance from out of town were Eminent Commander T. P. CALKIN, and past Eminent Commander George H. SMITH of Malta Commandery, No. 21, Knights Templar, of Binghamton, of which Mr. Colby is a member. THE BICYCLISTS' SERMON. Rev. Milton F. NEGUS preached an excellent sermon to the wheel riders of Owego, Sunday evening to a large congregation in Wilson Opera House. He chose as his subject "Ezekiel's wheel" and from it wove a discourse that was very applicable to the subject and occasion. THE PRESBYTERIAN. Rev A. W. COWLES, D. D., L. L. D., president of the Elmira College, preached two excellent sermons Sunday at the First Presbyterian church in the absence of the pastor, Rev. A. C. McKENZIE. THE UNIVERSALIST. Rev.

The communion of the Lords supper was administered and the right hand of fellowship extended to one new member. THE WHEEL PARADE. The wheel parade will take place Friday evening and the line will move from in front of STRONG'S bicycle store at 7 o'clock. There will be two divisions with a Marshall and three Lieutenants. The ladies division will lead the parade and both divisions will ride in two columns, one on each side of the street. The line of the parade will be from the starting point up Front Street, through John, and down Main, through Lake, down Front, through Academy, up Main to North Avenue and up that street to the Erie crossing. There the line will halt and all lanterns will be lighted. As the street above that point is torn up for the new sewer and thus made rough, the line will ride down North Avenue, east on Temple street to Spencer Avenue, to Main, up Main, through Paige, to Front, down Front Street to Park Street and the ride around the courthouse park thus affording a grand opportunity for spectators to see the whole parade at one time, at one revue, People along the line need not hesitate to burn their fireworks and red fire, after the darkness, will make them show up well, only be careful and not throw explosives into or in the direction of the ranks. THE BICYCLE LANTERN PARADE. The first bicycle lantern parade came off Friday evening according to the program and was quite a success as far as far as decorations were concerned but not as numerous as hoped. The line of the parade was a long one reaching the principal resident portions of the village as well as the business streets. There is strong talk of another parade next Friday evening, July 8 BA'AR MEAT. The large black bear, which was seen and fired at by the party of hunters near YOUNG'S Station on the O. & W. road about one week ago, has since been killed in the town of Franklin. The Carcass weighed over 500 pounds HORTON FAMILY REUNION. Mrs. J. B. WILLIAMSON of Binghamton, Mrs. Wilbur TOWNSEND and Miss Louise HORTON of Elmira and Miss Edith HORTON of the Cortland normal school are visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Theo. HORTON, Main Street.

No one was hurt. .It is related that a man from the rural districts entered the midnight lunch wagon in Auburn the other evening and after sitting awhile, ejaculated; "Wal, when's this gosh durned car agoing to start, anyway?"

MARRIED On the 19th ult. by Rev I. LAWTON, Mr. FRANCIS S. STONE, of Scriba, to Miss ELIZABETH WHITMARSH, of Abingion, Plymouth co., Mass. On the 1st inst., by the same, Mr. Z. G. BLOSS to Miss LUCY C. COOK, daughter of E. COOK, Esq., all of this village. In Richland, in the 27th ult., by J. B. WATSON, Esq., WILLIAM VAN SCHOICK, of New London, Oneida Co.m to SUSANNAH REARK(?), of the former place. In Mexico, on the 28th ult. by Rev. Mr. SAWYER, Mr. DANIEL TIFT, of Richland, to Miss ARSAVILLE, daughter of ASA TYLER, of the former place. DIED Very suddenly, on the morning of the 7th, inst., after a brief confinemane to her sick chamber, SARAH ANN, wife of HERBERT M. HARMAN,merchant of this village, and only daughter of GIDEON H. WOODRUFF, Esq., aged 20 years. The health of the deceased had been delicate for some times past, and fears were entertained by her friends that her years would be few; but none anticipated so early and sudden departure. Within a brief month she became the wife of Mr. H. and is now joined to the great congregation of the dead. The light of Christain hope bcame upon her last hours and her end was peace. Her funeral will be attended from the 2d Presbyterian Church, on Wednesday morning next, at 10 o'clock, unless an earlier interment should become necessary. At New Haven, Oswego county, on Monday morning, Sept 8th, of consumption, ABRAHAM LANSING, JR.,aged 31 years,3 months and 13 days. In Lyeander, Sept, 1st, EUGENE A.,son of THOMAS J. and RACHEL TIFFT, AGD 5 MONTHS AND 10 DAYS. In this village on the 7th inst. FREDERICK CHARLES ARTHUR, aged 43. On the 28th July last, at Herman on the Missouri river, ZADOCK STRANG TITUS, in the 31st year of his age. For several years previous to the fall of 1843, Mr. TITUS was a redident of this village, and by his integrity in business and worth deportment, won many warm friends and the general respect and esteem of our citizens. From this place he removed to Warren in Pennsylbania, and has since been engaged there in the practice of law. When he met with the sad accident which has closed his early career, he was travelling west in search of a place to locate intending if he found a place that suited him to remove his family there in October next. From the letter of our informant we extract the following particulars: It seems he took passage on board the steamboat "Big Hatcher," on the 20th of July and proceeded up the river to Herman where the boat stopped to take on more freight; that on starting out of port at one o;clock on the morning of the 22d, through the carelessness of the engineer, the boilers had become cold, and in too suddenly heating them, the one exploded and was thrown over the bow of the boat in to the river, the other was moved some four feet from its bed, the head broken to pieces, the steam from it flying back into the boat cause the most deadly destruction. The state-rooms on the starboard side were completely torn off. Out of fifty-three passengers twelve only escaped unhurt, the others were so badly scalded that but a very small number were alive the last intellig----, and those few would probably not recover. Mr. TITUS was in his room on the starboard side of the boat at the time of the explosion, and with the entire state room was thrown into the river. He floated ashore but was badly scalded. He was taken to the Hotel in the town where he died on the 28th of July, having lingered six days after the explosion, in much pain. He retained his senses until a few hours o'er he died, when he became uneasy to get home and finally became raving.-------

PERVORSE in the 29th year of his age. ++ REMARKABLE LONGEVITY. The following list of old citizens is, I think, in every case correct, as I had nearly all the dates from them personally:-- Libbeaus ALLEN, Batavia, 1793 Deacon Ezekiel HACKLEY, Batavia, 1794 Uriah NORTON, Elba, 1794 Sylvester WILLIS, Oakfield, 1796 Peter RAPPELYE, Alabama, 1796 Joseph LUND, Alabama, 1797 Aaron LANCKTON, Alabama, 1799 Daniel HOSSELKUS, Oakfield, 1799. Noah KELSEY, Batavia, 1799 E.J. PATTIBONE, Elba, 1799 John THOMPSON, Batavia, 1801 Geo. COLE, Batavia, 1801 Thomas R. WOLCOTT, Alabama, 1802 Sylvester BROOKS, Oakfield, 1802 Thomas J. KENNEDY, Oakfield, 1804 Barnum BLISS, Oakfield, 1805 Loren RATHBONE, Oakfield, 1806 C.P. TURNER, Batavia, 1806 Wm. C. McCRILLIS, Oakfield, 1806 Otis L. FREEMAN, Paw Paw, Mich., 1806 J.J. SMITH, Oakfield, 1806 Marcus L. BABCOCK, Batavia, 1807 Wm. HAIGHT, Oakfield, 1808 Abner DODGE, Oakfield, 1808 Parley V. INGALSBE, Oakfield, 1810 Joseph FIELD, Oakfield, 1810 Daniel T. GRIFFIN, Oakfield, 1811 Wm. CRAFT, Elba, 1811 Alfred UNDERHILL, Oakfield, 1811 Wm. N. McINTYRE, Oshkosh, Wis., 1818 Oliver ROOT, Oakfield, 1818 Wm. ALLEN, Batavia, 1819 Norris BURR, Batavia, 1819 Wm. C. DUNLAP, Oakfield, 1820 Matthew McGUIRE, Oakfield, 1820 Isaiah OLCOTT, Oakfield, 1820 Some well known citizens may be omitted in this list. Mr. Sylvester WILLIS mentioned above, is the oldest ex-Justice in the State. He received his commission from Gov. Daniel TOMPKINS, and council in 1820 he is also the only one living in this vicinity who saw the "three THAYERS" hung in Buffalo, May 17, 1825. The oldest married couple is Deacon HACKLEY and wife, married in 1817. The oldest resident is Mrs. Holland FULLER, who has resided in the town seventy-three years. The oldest person in town is Mrs. Margaret KIERSTED, born in 1790, and living with her nephew, John EIGHMY on the town line road. ++ Professor SILLIMAN of Yale college, recently made a trip over the West Shore railway to Syracuse, and on reaching his destination thus enthusiastically wrote to the New York 'Commercial Advertiser.' "No more delightful excursion at this season of the year can be found within a day of New York than the ride over the West Shore railroad to Syracuse. The views on the Hudson and to the valley of Weehawken, from the moment of leaving Jersey City, are full of novel interest. The whole surroundings are novel. The geology is also of interest, shaping the features of the country in harmony with the character of the trassics and stones in the lower portion of the valley. The palisades of trap, with their castellated columnar fronts, which form so conspicuous a feature from the east shore of the Hudson, are not seen from the road built on the west shore, which runs along the sloping back of his old volcanic dyke, and no suggestion of its remarkable frontage is to be seen. The views of the town and villa sites of the east shore, which we now enjoy from the new standpoint, are full of interest. The rapid whirl of the swift-moving train soon leaves the palisades behind, and a plunge into one and then another tunnel shuts out the moving panorama to open new views of a strangely contrasted character--the lofty ranges about West Point, the noble heads of the Highlands, with Anthony's nose and the lake-like enclosure of the beautiful river, containing features of grandeur; with the slow-moving fleets of "tows" or the swift flight of a graceful yacht united to keep the interest of the traveler constantly awake. The Hudson river slates, the beds of impure limestone explored for the famous Rosendale cement, and above them the quarries of the flags of Roudout and Coxsackie, suggest the resources of this region for a varied and permanent commerce, to increase with the circulation of a constantly growing country. Everywhere one is impressed by the thorough and excellent construction of the West Shore railroad. The roadbed is perfection, and al the stations are marked by a liberal good taste which commands our admiration. Branching off for Albany and Troy, as before for the Catskills, the detached cars still leave the west-bound trains of ample dimentions, as it leads us up the charming valley of the Mohawk, fertile, with heavy hay crops, now gathering, and the corn, which, sadly withered by the drought in the lower country, stands laughing in the July sun, drinking succulence from the rich alluvial soil. We are provided with a full supply of literature, but the moving panorama, passing before us, was a more potent charm even than the August 'Harper' and 'Century,' beautiful as these are. The lovely river, fringed with golden yellow willow, lay in silvery brilliancy, with its graceful curves beside the rigid lines of the Erie canal, bearing fleets of heavily laden barges, and on its shores patient animals moving steadily along. It was a striking contrast to the noisy whirl of the trains on the two great railways, often within pistol shot of each other. We are amused to se the easy-going drivers sitting sleepily in a sulky, at the horses' heels, realizing the dream of the new recruit who wished to go to the war in his gig. And so the day passes most delightfully. ++ SUDDEN DEATH IN LE ROY. The 'Gazette' states that early Saturday morning Messrs. David CAREY and Christian SMITH, of Carey's Mills, were surprised to find the lifeless body of Mr. Edward GILBERT leaning face downward over a fence in such a way that only his toes touched the ground. He left his house on the evening before in usual health, and started for a stroll, as was is custom. It is thought that he was attacked by dizziness or something of the sort, and falling against the fence was unable to regain a standing position. Coroner SKINNER decided that an inquest was not necessary, he believing that his position was such as to cause strangulation. Mr. GILBERT was about 80 years of age, and one of the pioneer residents of the county. ++ to be continued... submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

The Hon. B. THURSTON, an Associate Judge of the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Columbia , died a few days since. The trial of "Big Thunder" BOUGHTON, was resumed last week ath the Circuit Court for Columbia County, which is held at Hudson. Gen GAINES, in his requisition for troops upon the governor of Louisiana, it seems, not only acted without instructions from Washington, but has exposed himself to censure. The Washington Union says: --The fact is, General G. has acted without orders; and be his motives as pure as they may, they cannot exempt him from the censure of the Executive. The command of the"army of observation" was given to Gen. TAYLOR, and Gen. GAINES ought never to have meddled with his command." The Michigan State Convention was held at Jackson on the 27th ult. ALPHEUS FELCH, of Washtenaw, was nominated for governor, and WILLIAM L. GREENLRY, of Lenewee, for Lieut. Governor. The Iron Steamer Bangor, was destroyed by fire, as strange as it may seem, on the 31st ult., while on her way from from Bangor to Boston. She had over 30 passengers on board, all of whom, together with the crew, were saved. The ship and cargo were a total loss. Miss VIRGINIA, daughter of Major General WINFIELD SCOTT, U.S. Army, died on Tuesday evening, Aug.26th, at the Convent of Visitation, J.B.M., George town, D.C., in the 24th year of her age. We are indebted to Mr. WILLIAM N. BEACH, of this town, for a basket of fine Peaches, for which he will accept our thanks. The State Agricultural Fair, to be held at Utica, will commence on the 17th of September, and last three days.

Harry CARRIGAN, a switchman employed by the Erie railroad had his left foot crushed while making a coupling at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The accident occurred just east of Liberty Street where the Syracuse and Binghamton tracks cross the Erie tracks. CARRIGAN, Warren Van DEBURGH and John L. ALDEN were engaged to switching Erie cars out of the D., L & W crossover. CARRIGAN stepped in between two cars to pull a coupling pin. His foot caught in a frog on the S. & B. crossover and he only had time to throw himself backward before the cars were upon him. One car and the switch engine passed over his left ankle and foot. CARRIGAN was picked up and brought to the depot. Dr. McNamara, surgeon for the Erie road and Dr. HALL were summoned. They summoned the ambulance, and the injured man taken to the city hospital. It was found necessary to amputate the injured member between the ankle and the knee. CARRIGAN is 24 years of age. His home is in Owego, but he boards with his sister, Mrs. J. B. COVENHOVEN, 125 Liberty Street, this city. CARRIGAN bore the operation well and was resting comfortably last evening. - Binghamton Republican, Monday.
