POTTER, of West Springfield, Pa., who has been canvassing cities east, has had the success of delivering hundreds of copies of the above work. It is one of the best books published. It is high-toned and lively, particularly adapted to bankers, merchants, clerks, mechanics, young men,, ladies in business, and all persons supporting themselves. It teaches also the art of saving and investing money. Mr. POTTER will solicit orders in this town, and we commend him to the courtesy and patronage of our citizens, to whom the work will prove highly valuable and interesting. ++ FIRST THRESHING OF THE SEASON.--Mr. Editor: In taking a stroll on Tuesday last, I directed my course on the south side of the raging Tonawanda, to view the beautiful fishing grounds on the banks of that splendid stream, near Bushville. When just opposite the fine flouring mill of Mr. John GARWOOD, and near the handsome grounds of Thomas YATES, I heard the hum of a threshing machine. Thinking it quite early for this season, I thought I would walk over to the fine barns of said YATES, from whence the sound came. There I found the boss threshers,, Messrs. Harvey WEED and David SULLINS, with their beautiful new machine, surrounded by a posse of live grangers, headed by that veteran feeder, Burr KENYON. Among them was the old shoe man himself, of Know Nothing notoriety, just taking in the first degree of the Order of the Grangers, in handling the bushel measures, as the splendid sample of "closson wheat" came out of the hopper, looking like so many shoe pegs as the plump grain rolled into the basket. There were only two loads of grain to be threshed, just for seed, one standing on either side of the machine. I stood by while one load of it was run through, and counted 21 bushels of the beautiful sample of white wheat carried off and deposited in the granary. It was a novel sight, when the machine stopped, to see the dusty grangers, as they rested for a moment, and gathered around their chairman and leader to learn the result of this, their "first run of the season." ++ ALABAMA.--"Twinkle, twinkle, little Stars." A match game of base ball was played between the Evening Stars of Alabama and the Eagles of Indian Falls, last Saturday; on the grounds of the former club. The Eagles failed to reach the altitude of the Stars. Only five innings were played, owing to the lateness of the hour of commencement. Game called at 5:30 p.m. Score--Evening Stars 30, Eagles 6. Scorer, C.J. BATEMAN. Umpire, Henry THAYER. Duration of game, 1 hour, 30 minutes. ++ ALEXANDER.--Some people have an idea that Alexander is running down, and that there is no enterprise here. But what sane persons can arrive at such conclusions, when they look about them and see the improvements that are going on. I will name some of them. In the first place, Mr. COONROD has moved his house and set it on a wall, and is building a front which will improve the appearance very much, say nothing of the additional comfort and convenience.--Charley EGGLESTON is also beautifying his house. He has just put up a porch, which improves the appearance very much.--Mr. A. NICHOLS has cut down windows, put on new blinds and painted his house, and has made a decided improvement.--Billy HARRINGTON has put on new cornice, shingled his house and otherwise improved it.--Mr. WING has put on new blinds and painted his house.--Mr. A. RICHMOND has painted his house, on North Seminary street.--The old barn on the same street, which has so long been an eye-sore to some of the neighbors, has been moved at last, and now adorns the premises of Jim DELANY, up on the hill.--P. ZWETSCH, the popular grocer, is putting up a new barn. Besides all these improvements, the town has built new, and repaired, several bridges, so that people can get in and out of Alexander, without running much risk of breaking their necks by the falling of bridges. Fred ZWETSCH, who was hurt by the falling of a bridge, is so as to be around again, but not able to work as yet. Who says the world is not moving, if we are decreasing in population? ++ BERGEN.--Last week Thursday W.H. MILLER, one of our harmonious blacksmiths, took to himself a wife. Miss Sarah HISCOCK was the lady's name. The ceremony was performed in Rochester by Rev. T.E. BELL, pastor of the Frank St. M.E. church. The happy couple immediately settled down to housekeeping, without indulging in a wedding tour. Last Saturday our base ball club went to Brockport and defeated the Brockports by a score of 31 to 27. The result was unexpected, and was caused by the absence of three of the best men of the Brockport club. ++ BETHANY.--News in this section is rather meagre at present. Crops of all kinds are looking finely, and improvements are still going on in different sections of our town. The general health of our place is at present very good, although some few cases of sickness are reported. Ely ROGERS, well and favorably known all over the town, is dangerously sick with erysipelas(?), but we are happy to learn is considered some better, though not out of danger. Old Captain REED has been sick for a long time, but is now, we are glad to see, slowly convalescing, and is able to be out, but he is too old to ever expect to be as sprightly as he once was. Our friend Mel BUELL has--well, what?--got a son. Whew! Well! well! will wonders never cease? Weight, eleven and three-quarters, and so it goes. HUGGINS will please take notice and start anew on his census route. ++ AKRON, as usual, wears a lively business aspect. The steam sawmill of DUNHAM & CENTER is in operation with a new boiler. A burn and explosion have been overcome by the indomitable energy and perseverance of the firm, and a No. 1 mill is turning out large quantities of lumber. A tent meeting in the public park has been conducted for weeks by Rev. REYNOLDS of Brockport. He has discoursed for a long time on the Seventh Day, and threw out a challenge for any one to discuss that subject. Rev. A.C. NEWELL, of Darien, was invited to meet him in debate. He accepted the challenge. Each spoke for two evenings alternately before large audiences. Mr. NEWELL closed the debate last Monday evening, after which an expression was taken of the audience, and about four to one voted in favor of the negative, so ably defended by Mr. NEWELL, that the old law of Moses and the ten commandments are not binding upon us at the present time. The Stafford B.B. Club have arranged to play a match game with the Akron club, to come off on the 12th. The result will be reported. ++ CORFU.--Crop reports are first in order, at this season, so here goes.-- Winter wheat almost a failure, but will, with last year's crop yet in store, supply demand. Hay is abundant and successfully harvested. Oats and barley never promised better in this section. Potatoes are promising well--no injury from bugs, notwithstanding the scare. Corn looks well generally, and will produce a full average yield, if frost holds off late. The corporation has secured several fire extinguishers for the better security of property here. The Hook and Ladder Company are kept in proper training. ++ NEIGHBORING COUNTIES. Buffalo claims 60,000 German in its population of 135,000. The 'American' says that Albion has a population of about 4,115. Fine pickeral have recently been caught in Java Lake, Wyoming Co. The peppermint oil crop of Wayne county this year will reach $500,000. The Hon. James WOOD and John YOUNG of Geneseo have gone to Europe. There are 7,000 children attending the Catholic Free Schools of Buffalo. Uncle Abner HUNTLEY, of Cuba, was 108 years old on the 4th of August. The population of Steuben county has increased 6,741 in the last five years. About thirty-five prisoners are at present confined in the Niagara county jail. The Great Camp Meeting at Silver Lake commences next Wednesday, 11th inst. Chautauqua county jail holds 21 prisoners at present. They talk of enlarging the institution. The OSBORN House, Rochester, rents for $9,250 a year, not including the drug and the book store in the block. Some incendiary made an attempt last week to burn the Episcopal church at Hornellsville, but, luckily, failed. A man fell from the fourth story window of the Dansville Cure Sunday morning, 26th ult. and was instantly killed. Arrangements are being made for a two days Universalist Conference meeting at Silver Lake some time this month. The Perry 'Star' says: "Frank PRITCHARD captured a live black snake near the spoke factory, six feet and seven inches long." Judge Martin GROVER left his home in Angelica last week for the sea coast, in hopes of improving his health. The Judge is quite feeble. The aggregate valuation of property in Rochester as assessed this year is $61,341,700, an increase of about $28,000,000 over last year. Rev. S.D. BOOROM, rector of St. Paul's church, Angelica, has received the appointment of Chaplain in the U.S. Navy, with a salary of $2,000. The Brockport 'Democrat' says it is about to adopt the "No pay, no paper" principle. It's the only sure way. We're pretty much that way ourselves. Rev. Dr. GILLIATT, pastor of the Grace, Episcopal Church, at Lockport, has resigned pastoral charge of that church to accept a call from Pottsville, Pa. ++ submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle July 14, 1913 CHESHIRE FARMER HANGS HIMSELF Had Brooded Over Death of Daughter for Two Years Wife Discovers The Body William S. Johnson, on First Day in Summer Home on Canandaigua Lake, Commits Suicide in Barn at Water's Edge - Endowed Vassar Canandaigua, July 13, Despondent by reason of ill health probably induced by brooding over the loss of his only daughter, a girl just blossoming into young womanhood some two years ago, William Seymour JOHNSON, 51 years of age, hung himself in his barn at Bay View on the west shore of Canandaigua lake about 9 o'clock this morning. Mr. JOHNSON took the loss of his daughter much to heart and for some time past members of his family have been watching him, as he was thought to be irrational at times. The family resides at Cheshire, five miles southwest of this city. Mrs. JOHNSON was desirous of taking possession of their cottage at Bay View for the remainder of the summer, but Mr. JOHNSON was not inclined at first to go there. Yesterday, however, the family moved to the lakeside and prepared to remain for some time. After breakfast this morning, Mr. JOHNSON went to the little barn on the cottage lot and when he did not return, his wife went to look for him and found him in the barn dead, with a halter about his neck in a slip-noose fashion. One end of the halter-lead was tied to a post and the other end had been fixed into a slip-noose and slipped over the man's head. Then he had lain down and the weight of his body had caused the noose to tighten more and more effectually choking him to death. Mr. JOHNSON was one of the best known citizens of the town of Canandaigua. He was born in the vicinity where he died, having been the son of the late John L. JOHNSON, Mr. and Mrs. JOHNSON, after the death of their daughter in September, 1910, just as she was preparing to re- enter Vassar College for her sophomore year, endowed a $10,000 scholarship at the college that some needy girls might perpetually have the opportunity of acquiring an education such as they had planned for their daughter. Mr. JOHNSON leaves his wife, a brother, Lewis M. JOHNSON, of Cheshire, and a sister, Mrs. Julia CRANDALL, of this city. The remains were removed to the residence at Cheshire soon after the discovery of the body and after Coroner Alfred W. ARMSTRONG of this city, had been called. The funeral will probably be held at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from the late residence at Cheshire with Rev. William E. SEARLES, of this city; pastor of the Cheshire Union Church, officiating, and the burial will be made in Pine Bank cemetery, Cheshire. ** INFANT'S BODY IN SATCHEL Gruesome Find Made by Boys under Bushes in Seneca Park Two boys found a black leather satchel under a clump of bushes in Seneca Park late yesterday afternoon. When they opened it, the dead body of an infant a day or two old was discovered. It is now at the morgue, and an autopsy to-day will determine whether it was suffocated. A stocking was found stuffed in its mouth. After their discovery the boys went post haste to police headquarters, and turned the satchel and its contents over to Detective John SHAYNE. He notified Coroner KLEINDIENST, and carried the gruesome find to the morgue. The stocking jammed into the infant's mouth suggests that it was thus put to death. Clothing had been placed in the grip, perhaps with the idea that it would serve in burying the body. Copies of New York papers were also found with the body. ** CHILD STRUCK BY AUTO Just How Serious Injuries to Medina Child Are Is Not Ascertained. Medina, July 13 - Katherine ROACH, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John MACK(?), of Elm street, this village, had a narrow escape from death this morning. The child had endeavored to cross the road in front of her home, but upon reaching the center of the highway, she discovered an automobile approaching and turned back to avoid it. The machine, which was owned and driven by Bruce BRITT, of this village, struck her, knocking her to the ground. She was carried to her home and Dr. J. V. G??RANS was summoned. She received several cuts about the face and head, but whether she was internally injured or not, the physician was unable to ascertain, ---- the first examination. The machine was going very slowly and no blame is attached to Mr. BRITT for the accident. ** CHARLES GOODYEAR Seneca Falls, July 13 - Charles O. GOODYEAR, a well known resident of this village, died early to-day in a Rochester hospital where he had been under (line unreadable) was 69 years old, having been born in Cayuga county in 1844.

It was recovered — Chief of Police John STORK and taken to the undertaking rooms of O'Reilly A ____. Coroner Charles F. FAIRMAN was summoned and viewed the remains. The body had the appearances of having been in the water for some time. No papers or other marks of identification, with the exception of an open jack-knife bearing the name of Chase & Breed, local hardware merchants. There were no marks or bruises on the body to indicate foul play, and the whole affair is a mystery which will probably remain unsolved. The body is that of a man about 40 years of age, five feet ten in height and weighing about 165 pounds. The local police do not recall having seen the man about town. ** SONS INHERIT $33,000 Albion, July 13 - Letters of administration have been issued to B. Harold DENSMORE, of Rochester, and A.

They were quickly removed, but a large velvet rug was consumed and an oil cloth under the stove and a new carpet were badly burned.

Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Friday, January 25-1878-part 2 of 2 LOCAL RECORD. A long-waited improvement has been made in the re-flooring of the depot waiting room. A new Sign has been swung over his store door by that genial groceryman, Chas. C. HUGGINS. The Orchestra that will play for the Firemen's benefit next week, is alone worth the price of admission. Mr. A.H. CHASE returned Saturday from an extensive Western tour of two or three weeks. Traveling seems to agree with him. Wednesday of this week was really winterish--lots of fellows were bending down their ears to see whether the tips of them were not frozen. It is to be hoped that our citizens will open their pocketbooks and hearts, and do all they can to make the Firemen's benefit a success. Next Tuesday and Wednesday. Joseph C. SHULTS is one of our live grocerymen, and, like other men, believes in the value of printers' ink. His new advertisement, to-day, is worth the careful attention of every reader. Complimentary.--The Medina "Register' says "the 'Progressive Batavian' is hard to beat as a country newspaper." Our vanity is immensely tickled. Hoop us, somebody, or we shall burst. Mr. A.J. YOUNG, of Alabama Center, delivered an interesting address at the silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. LAW, of Broome Co., recently. His remarks are published in full in the Medina 'Register' of last week. Pleasant party.--Some 60 or 70 of the Good Templar friends of Stafford, gave Mr. and Mrs. Peter WILLIAMS a pleasant and enthusiastic reception party at their own house, on their return from their wedding tour a few evenings since. Sudden Death.--We learn from the Le Roy 'Gazette' that Alba PAUL, a gentleman of some 60 years who resided in that village, was found dead in his bed on Wednesday morning of this week. He had been in usual health the day previous. A fine Calf.--N.K. CONE, Esq., of Bethany, has a Devon bull calf six months and 22 days old, which tips the scale at 454. Who can show a better? For a Devon he's a 'whopper.' His mother is only a three year old--almost a calf herself. WOODWARD's Store has been re-floored, hard wood being substituted for pine. This is made necessary, we presume, by the downward pressure which he proposes to put on the price of boots and shoes, when inaugurating a cash business Feb. 1st. The plays to be presented here on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next by the Rochester Opera House Co., for the benefit of our Fire Department, are "Colleen Bawn" and "The Octoroon." Turn out and help the boys and give yourself a few hours enjoyment. Matrimonial.--The papers report the marriage last week of Walter H. SMITH, of Le Roy, to Miss Mattie S. LAWRENCE, of Albion. Mr. SMITH is a young lawyer of ability, with a broad field of usefulness before him, and we congratulate him upon his success in this important suit. Badly Sold.---Those five or six young men, who humbugged by the sensational cave-cell-skeleton, musty-manuscript yarn, rushed off to Alexander to investigate, found the cell, but it was spelt with a big "S." They returned fully convinced that the 'Times' is a most re-lie-able sheet. The "Dime Entertainment" given by the young Misses of the Presbyterian church of Byron, was a decided success in every way, and the broad smile on every one's face, through the whole performance, proved that, "A little nonsense now and then, Is relished by the wisest men." Bursting of a Polishing Wheel--A wooden polishing wheel, about two feet in diameter, burst in the plow works last week. Fortunately the man operating it had just stepped to one side before the accident, and thus escaped the danger from the flying fragments, a large piece of which went through the window and struck the ground with great violence many yards distant. The man tending it was so scared that he refused to work longer. Accident in Bergen.--On Monday morning a man named Elisa BENSON, traveling eastward on the railroad track, was struck by a freight locomotive and badly injured. He claimed to be from the Black Hills on his way to Oswego Co. He will probably recover. A man killed.--The body of a poor tramp was found on or near the railroad track, some two miles west of Byron station, Wednesday of this week. Coroner TOZIER investigated--found in the pockets of the dead man seven cents and a razor--his right shoulder badly mashed, and the ribs of his right side all broken from the backbone. Verdict--death from accident. Teachers' Examination.--The next examination of applicants for teachers certificates, will be held in the Court House, Batavia, N.Y., on Saturday, Feb. 2d, at 9:15 A.M., in the following subjects:--Arithmetic, algebra, geography, grammar, history, civil government, and spelling. - C.V. HOOPER, School Commissioner. Acquitted.-- The fellows who were arrested at the National Hotel in this village, a short time since, on charge of being counterfeiters, were, on trial before the U.S. Court at Albany, acquitted, there being no proof that coin had actually been made. NEPHEW was promptly taken in hand by Post-office Detective McDONALD, for the burglary of a Post-office in Livingston Co. NEWPHEW pleaded guilty and will be sentenced at this term. Report of the Alexander Cheese Factory for the Season of 1877: Total expenses, $2,901.90, total amount of Money Received, $19,988.39. Factory opened March 27th, and closed Nov. 30th. A feast of vocal music.--Of the Apollo Concert Club, advertised at Dellinger Opera House, Batavia, next Monday evening, the Stamford 'Advocate' says. That tramp printer.--Referring to the typographical pedestrian who attempted to dispose of stolen goods here, for which he was sentenced by Justice JOHNSON to the Penitentiary for 100 days, the Warsaw 'New Yorker' says: "If it was a pretty severe sentence he deserved it all, for in addition to being a thief, he was a liar and miserable type-setter." But it seems this was not all, for he turns out to be a horse-thief as well. Being married in Connecticut, he started out on his bridal tour with a horse and buggy not his own, which he sold in New York, and the officers were on his track, when he was arrested here. His honey moon seems to have passed its last quarter, as well as himself. Fire at West Bethany.--The schoolhouse at West Bethany, with its contents, was burned to the ground on Friday night last. In the evening the oyster supper announced in last week's paper, was held there, and it is supposed the fire caught from the chimney, as but a few coals were in the stove when the last person left the house. The principal loss is in the books and some silver ware that was left there, as the building itself was old, and would probably have been re-built the coming spring, even if the fire had not occurred. The oyster supper and literary entertainment, given for the benefit of the church fund, was largely attended and interesting, $38 being cleared above all expenses, and would have been a most successful affair, had it not been for its unfortunate termination. The fire was discovered about two hours after the company had dispersed, but too late to save anything from the flames. ++ Recent Sales effected through the Genesee County Real Estate Agency, corner of Main and Bank Sts., Batavia, Chas.

Our readers or most of them at least, have doubtless heard of the house-burning, and loss of life therein, which occurred near our village on Friday last. The particulars of that casualty are these: On Friday morning last, at the home of Austin T. MINER,, whose farm lies about a mile and a half east from the Court House, on Main street, Otis MINER, son of Austin, was preparing a composition of turpentine and asphaltum, with which to stain a bookcase. The composition was being heated in a kettle on the kitchen stove. In the room were Austin MINER, his mother, a lady some 93 years of age, Minnie, his daughter, some 19 years of age, Otis, his son, and Mr. Fred HARRIS. Noticing that the composition in the kettle was boiling up, Otis called to Minnie, who was ironing, to hand him a holder. She did so, but as he raised the kettle from the stove its contents burst into flame, so burning his hand that he dropped the kettle upon the floor. Miss Minnie dashed a pail of water upon the flaming mass, but the fire was very little affected by it. Mr. HARRIS caught an over-coat from the wall and made an effort to smother the fire, but without avail. The three, Minnie, Otis, and Harris, then ran out of the house by the front door. As they emerged from the door, Minnie exclaimed, "Where is grandmother?" and rushed back into the house in search of her. At this time the kitchen was all aflame and the other rooms were filled with a dense black smoke, suffocating and almost impenetrable. Anxious for the safety of his sister, Otis attempted to follow her, but the smoke was so dense he could neither breathe nor see, when standing up. He then got down to the floor, where the smoke was less dense, and discovered Minnie, lying in the doorway of her grandmother's room, adjoining the kitchen, motionless, and with her clothes nearly consumed by the fire. With his friend HARRIS he crawled along the floor to her, and by their united efforts she was dragged out into the open air. But the fire had done its work upon poor Minnie. Burned beyond recognition, she had sacrificed her young life in a heroic attempt to rescue her beloved grandmother. She gasped feebly when first brought to the air, and again when laid upon the bed at Mr. S.B. LUSK's, whither she was immediately removed, and then her young earth life, rosy, sparkling, buoyant, and happy, a few short moments before, went out forever. Hundreds of weeping hearts in this community attest the love and esteem in which she was held by all who knew her. Meantime, while Minnie, was sacrificing her life for her aged relative, and her brother and friend were jeopardizing theirs to save her, Mr. MINER had also been active for the rescue of his mother, and had helped her to escape by a back way. The old lady, Mrs. Josephine MINER, was considerably burned in her face and head but not dangerously. She is now with her daughter, Mrs. Hiram WOODS, of this place. Mr. Austin T. MINER was very badly burned on the right hand, so as to disable it for use for some time to come, and quite severely, though less deeply, on his left hand. With his wife and younger children, he is now stopping[sic] with his nearest neighbor, Mr. S.B. LUSK. Mr. Otis MINER and Mr. Fred HARRIS were so badly burned in their hands, Mr. HARRIS so severely it is feared he will lose his right thumb. About the time Minnie was removed from the house, Mr. S.B. LUSK, who had discovered that his neighbor's house was on fire, came running to the scene of disaster, and hearing some one say, "Grandmother is still in the house," pushed his way to her room but could not find her, and was compelled to a speedy retreat by the suffocating smoke. On reaching the open air and learning that the old lady was safe, he, with others, turned his attention to saving household effects as far as possible. Very little was saved, however, except what was rescued from the cellar, and as there was no insurance on house or contents, the insurance having just expired, Mr. MINER and family sustained, in addition to their severe affliction, great pecuniary loss. The bereaved and afflicted family have the deepest sympathy of the entire community. ++ submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

Monday, Jan. 17. ******************************* Tuesday Morning, January 18, 1842 DIED Dec. 31st, in this city, Mr. Francis JOHNSON, a native of Ireland. His sickness which was consumption, was protracted and severe, but was bore with christian patience, and a joyful hope of eternal life. His character as an affectionate son, an upright man and a true follower of Christ--Is highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was an ornament to his native and adopted country, and to the Church of Christ--- a very large funeral concourse testified their universal respect for his memory. He sleeps in Jesus. He held an humble place on earth, but I doubt not a glorious station in Heaven. Paston. At Churchville, on the 16th instant, Frances N., daughter of Erasmus C. and Caroline DIBBLE, aged four years. Her musical powers were remarkable for one of her age. One of her last efforts was singing distinctly a line or two of one of her favorite hymns, And we trust her infant voice is now mingling with the perfect Choir in Heaven where praise will never end.
