R., had all the details so fittingly arranged that the detail work took less time than usual, making the special services unusually interesting. Headed by the Castile Band the Civil war veterans marched from their headquarters, followed by Protective and Hook and Ladder Fire companies to Trescott Hall, where a packed audience awaited them. Seated on the rostrum at the head of his little company, Commander Harvey B. STEDMAN called on Adjutant Gerald BLAKE to read the general orders received from Albany, and then, after reading the balance of the opening exercises, called on Rev.

A. R. From the four corners the line passed to the Empire House, where the speaker was met and escorted to the hall. The post, with nearly a full membership present, occupied seats on the platform, while the fraternal orders took front seats in the body of the hall. After a short ritual service by the G. A. R. and prayer by Rev. P. p. SOWERS, the commander, Robert H. WILEY, announced that their intended orator of the day, Hon. J. M. STULL of Rochester, had been unable to present, and introduced in his stea? Eugene DWYER, also of Rochester. Mr. DWYER held the close attention of this large audience for the space of an hour, delivering a strong and one of the most interesting discourses which the people of Springwater have heard on a similar occasion in years. At the conclusion of the services in the hall the parade was formed on Mill street and moved to mount Vernon Evergreen cemetery, where the impressive memorial service of the G. A. R. was carried out and the graves of their dead comrades suitably strewn with flowers and marked by a new flag, and a plot was marked by a wreath and flag as usual for the dead in unknown Southern graves.

Purser ELLIOTT is dead. A large number of passengers per Falcon, Benson and Crescent City, were congregated here yesterday, and the greater portion were panic stricken. -- Many abandoned everything, and started off on foot for Panama. Friends parted company, and each man looked out for himself. One of the Falcon's passengers, now lying dead in the village, is neglected, and none of his party will attend to the burial of his body." ** EDWARD BLISS, formerly of Le Roy, and late publisher of the Racine Whig, has retired from that paper.

Y. & Erie Railroad, was made on Tuesday morning last, by Theodore MONROE, proprietor of one of our large Cabinet and Furniture Establishments.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Feb 1, 1849 ADVENTUROUS JUVENILITY — For some days past, the Boston papers have advertised for information respecting a youngster named Charles HALL, 16 years of age, residing at North Chelsea, who set off for school one morning, and was seen or heard of no more. It was a "mysterious disappearance" of as inexplicable a character as that of Miss SMITH or Miss Amarillus Ann MARSH.-- But the mystery is at last explained. The young gentleman, instead of going to school, thought proper to visit New York, where he shipped on board a vessel bound to California, paying $93, it is said, for liberty to work his passage. His aspirations, however, were nipped in the bud, for the parties having charge of the vessel, thought proper to communicate with his father, and his California jig was brought to a close before it was begun. ** CAN A NEGRO STEAL ANOTHER NEGRO — A western paper gives an amusing account of the trial before a Cherokee Judge of a negro for stealing a slave. The counsel for the negro made a very long and irresistible speech, of which we give that portion which probably did the business for the rascal. It is impossible — said he — for one slave to steal another; yes, gentlemen of the jury, I say it is impossible for one negro to steal another negro — Suppose, gentlemen of the jury, my horse should get out of the lot and run away, and go by the house of John A. BELL, and his horse should follow mine off; would you hang my horse for stealing John A. BELL'S horse ? N-o, gentlemen of the jury, you wouldn't do such thing. The jury cleared the negro, of course. ** A man in Chatham, N. Y., has a frog 22 years old, which weighs 175 pounds. It is kept in a cellar, and fed on corn meal and cabbage.-- [Boston Rambler} That frog belongs to Mr. Norman BRADLEY, who resides in Canaan, near East Chatham depot. A friend of ours called to see him last week, and found him chained to a post. The chain is attached to a ring in his nose. Mr. B. was compelled to chain him in consequence of his having become somewhat ferocious, as he lately attacked Mrs. B. and tore off her dress. Mrs. B. offers to sell him for $1,000. — [Hudson Democrat] ** ARREST OF TUNNICLIFF - A warrant having been issued for the apprehension of Solomon J. TUNNICLIFF, an account of whose timothy seed speculation we published last week, it was placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff WOLCOTT, of this place, on Wednesday last, who immediately started in pursuit, and on Thursday evening succeeded in arresting him at the house of his uncle, a Mr. JUDD, residing about three miles southwest of the little village of Leroy, at the foot of Schuyler's lake, in Otsego county. About $1450 dollars was found upon his person, and taken possession of by the officer. TUNNICLIFF was brought back in custody on Saturday. — [Dundee Record.] ** A CASE OF CALIFORNIA FEVER "In Collapse." — On Thursday last, we are told, a young gentleman, holding a permanent situation, in a large commission house in this city, at a salary of $2000 per annum, made up his mind to go to California; resigned his office, and immediately thereafter married a beautiful and interesting young lady, and in an hour from the time of the marriage ceremony, he was on board of the bark A. Emory, on his way to the golden regions, leaving his youthful bride behind, to console herself as best she can. — [N. Y. Express.] ** A VOLUNTARY FELON — Mrs. CUSTOS, the wife of the poor fellow who recently stole a sheep in jersey, to keep himself from starvation, has made application to the magistrate to commit her to the same prison with her husband. She says she helped to steal the sheep and make mutton of it. — She has nothing to eat at home, and wants to be along side of her old man ! Her request was granted. ** INFORMATION WANTED — Of Peter MULVEY, who left Cayuga Bridge, July 3d, 1848. He is twenty seven years of age. Any person knowing of his whereabouts is desired to forward information to John GILROY, Cayuga Bridge, New York. -Editors will confer a favor on his afflicted wife by giving this an insertion. ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Feb 1, 1849 GRIT - One of the Californians, lately proposed to leave his wife in the Bay State, while he went gold hunting on the Sacramento. But the lady was determined to go herself. Go she would — To cure her he took her on board and showed her the awful tight fit of the accommodations. She was perfectly delighted, and he knocked under and paid her passage. That's the sort. ** HENRY CLAY - We stated yesterday, that Mr. CLAY was elected Senator. A glance at the telegraph report just before going to press, left that impression. But on looking again, we notice that it was merely the nomination that he had accepted. Practically however, there is no difference between his nomination and election. ** PRESENT TO GOV. YOUNG — Several of the friends of Gov. YOUNG in the city of New York, have presented him with a superb tea service of silver, made by Ball, Tompkins & Black. Its cost was $1500. ** FREE SOIL SUPPER — A free soil festival was held at Kendall, Orleans county, on Wednesday the 17th inst., which was largely attended. Spirited speeches were made, and excellent toasts drank. Ebenezer K. WEBSTER presided. ** AWFUL! (Falsehood!) — A visit to the tomb of the late Mrs. MAFFIT, has led to the horrible conception, that she was prematurely buried.-- The body, according to the New-York Sun, was found on its face, and the shroud and hair disordered. ** GERMANS IN BOSTON — There are 10,000 Germans in Boston and its vicinity, of whom one- half are of Protestant religion. They have one Roman Catholic and two Protestant churches, and one Jewish synagogue. ** MARRIED IN PRISON — Chas. BARTON, under sentence of two years imprisonment in the State Prison, was married in Albany Jail, on the 16th instant, to Miss Elizabeth NICHOLS, of Boston, Mass. ** FIRE AND HEAVY INDIVIDUAL LOSS — The extensive Steam Furnace and Machine Shop of Messrs, Williams & Sanford, in this village, were burnt on Thursday morning last, between 2 and 4 o'clock. Most of the costly contents, such as machinery, tools, patterns, castings, &c., together with three new steam engines just completed, were destroyed. The loss falls heavily upon the worthy and enterprising proprietors, being about $7,000, without any insurance — sweeping the hard earnings of years of honest industry. A large number of mechanics and laborers, some of them with families, who are by this calamity thrown out of employment, will also share very severely in consequence. The fire extended to the dwelling-house occupied by Mr. Jarvis SOPER, which was also destroyed, no insurance — owned in New York — damage some $350. Mr. SOPER'S furniture was mostly got out and saved — his loss about $50.-- [Wayne Sentinel.] ** THE MAN IS FOUND — It seems by the following, from the Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, that President TYLER first suggested Gen. TAYLOR for the Presidency: "It lately came to light that Capt. TYLER was the person who first proposed Gen. TAYLOR as a candidate for the Presidency. It appears that Brevet Brig. Gen. Z. TAYLOR was in this city and dined with the president in 1844, and then received orders to take command of the troops ordered to Corpus Christi. President TYLER said to him jocosely — "Gen., you are ordered down to Corpus Christi — you may have a brush with the Mexicans; and if you do, it will make you President of the United States." ** TWO MURDERERS SENTENCED — On Saturday last, Barney O'DONNELL, convicted at Troy of the murder of Antonio RATTO, in Nassau, Rensselaer county, on the 19th of June last, was sentenced to be hung on the 15th day of March next, between the hours of 8 and 4 o'clock. Andreas HALL, convicted of the murder of Amy SMITH, was at the same time sentenced to be hung on the 15th, between 8 and 4 o'clock. ** CALIFORNIA GOLD GREASE — A Yankee down east has invented this specific for the use of gold seekers. The operator is to grease himself well, lay down on the top of a hill, and then roll to the bottom. The gold, and "nothing else," will stick to him. Price $94 per box. ** MARRIED In Stafford, on the 11th inst., Mr. George W. POTTER to Miss Elizabeth S. HOLMES. In East Palmyra, on the 14th inst., Moses F.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee Co., NY October 8 1887 cont'd - part 4 of 4/conclusion AN UNLUCKY BETHANY MAN. Louis J. MARSH of Bethany, whose traction engine recently frightened a horse driven by Lawyer CONE and Dr. RAND of Batavia and whose expenses owing to the ensuing accident were heavy, met with another mishap in Bethany last evening says Tuesday's News. He was driving to Bethany Center, when the hail storm suddenly came up. The hail stones were big ones, and Mr. MARSH's horse became unmanageable. The vehicle was tipped over and damaged and Mr. MARSH was thrown out. One of his shoulders was thrown out. + + CORFU CHRONICLES. Samuel NOBES has moved into the CURTIS house on Railroad avenue. Silas A. KINNE has been engaged to teach a school in Alabama the coming winter. A number from here are fully engaged in picking and barrelling apples in Lancaster. A.O. BARDEN is making extensive improvements about his premises. His house is to be remodeled. Frank MAYNE has leased the premises of Julius GRIFFITH just south of the village, and is soon to remove therein. Last Friday afternoon exercise of a literary character were held at the Union School. A few of our townspeople attended. Last Sunday morning while Chas. TYRRELL was in his green house seeing to the furnace he fell and fractured one of his ankle bones. One evening last week Rev. J.H. DURKEE, of Batavia, delivered a temperance address before a small audience at the Methodist church. A.O. BARDEN has re-opened his skating rink for the season. Skating in this town seems to be one of the has been's and, no doubt, without cause. Many of our local sports are enjoying themselves by hunting the "sly coon" on the moonlight nights. Thus far the coons have been safe from bodily harm. Last Friday evening Mrs. R.W. KINNIE entertained a large company at progressive euchre. There were nine tables. Mr. Jno. TAYLOR and Mrs. W.E. SUMNER captured the head prizes. On Friday evening of last week a Universalist Society was held at the residence of Mrs. Geo. THOMAS. The principal attraction of the evening was the drawing of a fine quilt on which one hundred and twenty numbers were sold. Chas. SCHWARTZ drew the prize. The severe wind storm of last Monday wrought havoc with the apples in this section. It is a low estimate to say that $3,000 worth of fruit was lost, as the apples will not be fit for market but will have to be used for drying and cider. The new barn of Jefferson MALISON was unroofed and otherwise undamaged. For the past few weeks many of our citizens, and particularly our merchants, have been discussing the right of traveling peddlers from other towns selling through our village without a license. Of course there are two sides to the question, but in an equitable way of looking at the matter it would only seem right that our home mercantile industries should be protected and the strangers be made to pay a reasonable license if they persist in running in town. Our common council should take active measures in this matter and sustain the principles of reform that thus far has been the watch-word of that body. During the past week, particularly, our citizens who march under the banner of the g.o.p. have ingeniously contrived to evade the many hungry candidates who hourly prowl about seeing whom they may rely upon for supports in furthering their giltedged claims for office. A casual observer would readily tumble to the sad fact that much bad blood exists among the would-be head lights of the grand old party of moral ideas in this town. Many are the deals and combinations that have originated in big heads of the chiefs, only to be made and broken. Ties are hot politically and the braves have doned their war paint and it looks as though hades would be let lose[sic] on caucus day. A.K. DARROW left for Pittsburgh, pa., the first of the week. Fred PHELPS, of Buffalo, visited in town the first of the week. Mr. and Mrs. James McGRAW have returned to their home in Madison, N.J. Miss AYRAULT, of Alexander, has entered the employ of Mrs. Ann EDWARDS as a milliner. Miss Lillie M. SLATER, of Attica, was the guest of Mrs. Orlando KIRTLAND last week. Ebenezer BARLOW is absent in Buffalo this week inhaling the bracing air of that salubrious city. Hon. Charles F. TABOR, of Buffalo, the democratic candidate for Attorney-General, was a guest at the residence of his father-in-law over Sunday. William CARTER, of Wisconsin, is visiting his brother, Daniel, for a few days. Mrs. Samuel PECK, of East Pembroke, was a guest at the residence of her son Charles the latter part of last week. Charles KIRTLAND, of Wales, Erie county, a former resident of this town,, has been the guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orlando KIRTLAND, for the past few days. Miss Lulu DAROW, of Batavia, is spending several days in town visiting relatives. Miss Katie STARKS, of Buffalo, is in town visiting relatives. Darwin L. TURNER, the genial station agent for the D.L.&W. railroad at Darien, spent Sunday in town. "Dar" seldom gets left, even on the Lord's day. Mrs. S.A. KINNE left on Monday of this week as a delegate to the W.C.T.U. Convention, in session at Binghamton. Misses Hattie and May CLUTE, of Wiscoy, N.Y., have been the guest of Mrs. Nelson BRONNER, Main street, for several days. Mr. and Mrs. Edward DRAKE were absent a part of last week visiting friends in Clarence. Mrs. HAMMOND, of Alexander, is spending a few days in town. + + BERGEN BUDGET. Landlord HARFORD and family and James GOODWIN attended the Perry fair last Friday. L. ARNOLD's eldest child was taken with scarlet fever last Sunday. The others are convalescent. There was a very large attendance from this town at the Brockport fair last week, especially on Saturday. Mrs. Adelaide AUSTIN, who has been in town for several weeks, is to return to her home near Chicago on Saturday. Mrs. Libbie BELL came to Bergen on Wednesday afternoon to visit at A.T. SOUTHWORTH's while her husband is attending conference. Next Sunday morning there will be no service in the M.E. church, but in the evening a former pastor, the Rev. T. CARDUS, will preach. Wm. ELMORE, of Albany, has been here to visit his father's family, and with his sisters and other friends attended the Abbott matinee in Rochester last Saturday afternoon. George McCONNELL was very pleasantly surprised on Wednesday evening last by his Sunday school class who carried with them ice-cream and cake and spent a happy evening. The Mt. Rest Cemetery Association met for election of officers on Tuesday in S.E. PARKER's office, but owing to the small attendance the meeting was adjourned to next week Friday, to be held at the same place and hour. The Misses Alice and Mary ARNOLD have this week gone to Michigan, whence they go with Mrs. Geo. PIERSON to Chicago for a visit. Returning to Michigan and Ohio they will visit friends and relatives, and may be gone until the holidays. Little Harry GIFFORD has been on the sick list for more than a week, which brought his sister Minnie home from Brockport school last Saturday. She returned on Sunday afternoon. This week Tuesday night he was taken with convulsions and is a very sick child. Last Sunday evening, a mission concert was held in the M.E. church, during which there were many fine recitations and much excellent music, not only the solos by Mr. ROWE and Miss Ida BURNS. The card collections by the scholars, with the evening collection for missions, amounted to $45. The WALKER liquor suit began Tuesday afternoon before a jury consisting of the following persons: Jas. BISSELL, Ellsworth STEVENS, Geo. SMITH, Jas. BRODIE, Herbert WHITE, Chas. CHIPMAN. Professor LATTIMORE of Rochester, was called Wednesday in the interest of the prosecution. A more extended report of this suit may be expected next week. Alonzo GREEN and Chas. WIARD, of this village, have rented the WALKER store on Rochester street, GREEN to conduct the dry goods department and WIARD the grocery, independent of each other. Possession has been taken, and as soon as the counters and shelving can be put in, it will be open to the public for trade, and we wish them success in the new enterprise. The Bergen Vigilance Society met for their annual election in A.T. SOUTHWORTH's office Monday evening and elected A.T. SOUTHWORTH president, Chas. FIELD vice-president, G.H. CHURCH, secretary, and S. GILLETT, treasurer. Directors: E.H. PARISH, T.J. TONE, Jas. MILLER. The treasurer, S. GILLETT, reported no losses the last year; funds on hand, $398.97. Number of members in the society at present, 126. Pastor ROWE went to conference in Le Roy on Wednesday with a pretty good assurance that he will be returned, as he and his people seem to be of one mind in regard tot hat, and his work for the past year speaks for itself as reported last Sunday morning: Membership 151, probationers 16, which is the highest record in the history of the church. Below are the combined steward's and trustees' reports: Receipts-Pews and pledges paid and unpaid, $752; donation, $120; basket collections, $35; all other collections, $352; lecture course, $59; ladies' aid, $62; Y.P.C.A., $185; interest from DOOLITTLE fund, $2; total, $1,585.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee Co., NY October 8 1887 - cont'd. - part 3 of this issue PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mrs. L.E. MEEKER, of New York, is visiting at the residence of Mr. H.L. ONDERDONK. Miss Fannie KELSEY has accepted a position in Austin & Prescott's jewelry store. Mr. E.A. DODGSON, Ellicott avenue, is entertaining his sister, Mrs. C.L. HOLDEN, of Cleveland, O. Mr. E.A. BROWN, of East Syracuse, a conductor on the Central-Hudson, visited over Sunday with his parents in this village. Mr. James BOSTWICK, of Attica, son of Mr. and Mrs. Homer BOSTWICK, has accepted a position in Burke, FitzSimons, Hone & Co.'s dry goods store at Rochester, whither he will remove his family next week. Mr. Joseph E. HALL, who has been in Europe for the Johnston Harvester Co., sailed from Liverpool on the 19th for Adelaide, New South Wales, Australia. He will go thence to San Francisco and across the continent home. The trip will occupy about ninety days. It is announced that Mr. Louis MORGAN, now of Buffalo, and Miss Luella LOGAN, daughter of Mr. I.C. LOGAN, now of Elmira, are to be married on the 20th inst. Both of these young people formerly lived in Batavia, where they have many friends who will be glad of the joy and happiness that will come to them by reason of this event. + + PAVILION PARAGRAPHS. Mrs. Nathan WATKINS is very ill from inflammatory rheumatism. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. PHILLPOT, son and daughter, are guests at Oliver PHELPS'. An immense quantity of apples is being drawn to this station daily. W.L. CULVER is the purchaser of most of the freight brought in. The W.B.F.M. conference of the Genesee Baptist Association will be held in the Baptist church of this place on Thursday next, Oct. 13th. The first quarterly tea-meeting of the M.E.W.F.M.S. will be held with Mrs. D. HEATH on Wednesday evening next, at which time a very interesting program will be presented. Supper will be served, for which ten cents is expected. All are invited to attend. The Union Gospel Temperance service held at the Baptist church on Sunday evening last was not quite as well attended as usual owing to another meeting being held on that evening at the Universalist church. However, those who were there listened to a most excellent address from the Rev. J.F. BROWN. During the first four evenings of this week a man by the name of STARR has been holding meetings in the Universalist church for the purpose of exposing Spiritualism. Moderate sized audiences have greeted him each evening, when he has succeeded in explaining much of the mystery surrounding this doctrine. An organization to be known as the Blue Ribbon Club, admitting both sexes, was formed at the Universalist church on Saturday evening last, there being about thirty persons present. M.C. GILLAM was elected president of the club, which will be auxillary to the W.C.T.U. who expect to furnish a room for the meetings. Also to keep the same room open every week night, providing literature, etc., so as to make a pleasant gathering place for those who wear the blue ribbon. Dr. Herman EVARTS has leased Dr. SPRAGUE's office and all pertaining thereto, and will at once commence the practice of medicine, having dissolved his connection with the steamship Leerdam, of which he has so long been the medical officer. Dr. SPRAGUE has been engaged on the same line of steamers, a position which he can fill if any one can, and one which will give him an agreeable and much desired change. The Doctor will make a "Jolly Jack Tar." We are sure of that from the cut of his jib. He left to join his ship on Friday. + + LOSEE'S CORNERS. H. HAINES, of Schoharie county, is visiting relatives here. Mrs. J. MARSH, of Lancaster, was in town a few days last week. Miss Nellie LOSEE and Mrs. Nelson HARPER are visiting friends in Kanona. Hereafter milk will only be shipped once a day at the Lackawanna station. Miss Dora BARBER goes to Elmira Friday and expects to stay there this winter. Mrs. SITTS and her daughter Edna returned to their home in Franklin Grove, Wis., on Wednesday morning. We had the pleasure of meeting Chas. F. TABOR, the Democratic nominee for Attorney-General, one day this week. Mrs. Frank GUNN, of Buffalo, with her two children, was visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred MARSH, the past week. A. POOLER and wife, of Meridian, Cayuga county, and Mr. and Mrs. I. SUMERISKI, of Pembroke, were visiting friends in town Wednesday. A man giving his name as MAXFIELD and claiming to hail from Baltimore, arrived in this section last week and wanted to buy from 10,000 to 15,000 barrels of apples. He put up with one of our enterprising young farmers, who is noted for his generous hospitality, and was fed on the best the house afforded. He was taken around among the farmers to see their fruit and offered them from $1.85 to $2 per barrel. But would not close the bargain with any until he could see how many he could purchase at that price. He was a good talker and claimed to have a market for all he could buy. The farmers all thought they had struck a bonanza for an apple market and were anxious to see to him. The young farmer he was staying with, however, began to think that he was not what he represented himself to be, and told him he must either buy some apples on the following day or get out. He chose the latter, and on the following morning he quietly and unobservedly skipped out without thanking his generous host for his kindness in entertaining him, and has not since been seen in this locality.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee Co., NY October 8 1887 - part 2 of this issue - WHAT WE SEE AND HEAR. The annual rental of pews in the M.E. church will take place one week from next Tuesday evening. Hereafter you must order your meat for breakfast before 8:30 the evening before, as the markets will close at that hour. The death of Mrs. Wilber I. TRICK occurred at her home in Stafford on Thursday of last week. Her age was twenty-seven years. Albert MARTIN's horse got into Philip MOULE's well on Bank street road last week and could only be removed with ropes and tackle. J.B. & H. HEWITT's fall millinery opening attracted many of the fair sex to their store this week and the rich and varied display was greatly admired. John B. FINCH, the noted and popular temperance lecturer, who has been heard by many Genesee county people, dropped dead in Boston last Monday. We learn that Rev. R.C. BROWNLEE, a former pastor of the M.E. church here, has become violently insane. He recently took a trip to Europe but with no apparent benefit. The vestry of St. James' Episcopal church have, we understand, extended a call to the pastorate to Rev. A.M. SHERMAN, of Sing Sing, which has been accepted. The fall session of the Genesee County Teachers' Institute will convene at the Court House, Batavia, on Monday next. The instructors will be Professors BARNES and FRENCH. Last Tuesday the Court of Appeals handed down its decision in the case of David C. JONES, confirming the decision of the lower court, which sentenced JONES to five years' imprisonment. The Relief Association did not meet at Mrs. ENSIGN's for re-organization, as expected last Monday, owing to the inclemency of the weather. A meeting will be held next Monday evening. The Board of Excise Commissioners refused Mrs. James TRAINOR a license at their meeting Monday. "Jimmy the Gun" has applied frequently and been denied and now his wife tries it. In the horse show at Mt. Morris last week, Trumbul CARY's El Mando won second place for the masters cup and also for the high jump. His Sibil won second place for the selling cup. The Erie has another excursion to Keuka next Sunday. parties desiring to go to Le Roy that day can do so on this train, remaining during the conference meetings and return in the evening. The unusual sight of a rainbow produced by rays of light from the moon was observed last Friday night during a gentle shower. It was quite clearly defined, though not as bright as a solar bow. A Tonawanda reservation Indian got crazy drunk one day last week and assaulted a squaw with a pitchfork, inflicting dangerous and perhaps fatal wounds. Officers are after the buck[sic]. The Genesee M.E. conference opened at Le Roy on Wednesday last. Bishop FOSS presiding in the place of Bishop NINDE, who is ill. Rev. C.W. WINCHESTER, of Batavia, was elected secretary. C.F. STARKS has made arrangements to go on the road part of the time for H.N. KELSEY to sell jewelry and plated ware. Parties desiring Mr. STARKS' services for auctions may leave word at the Times office where he will have his bulletin. The base ball game that was to have been played here on Friday of this week by Rochester clubs, including many of the old players of the Batavios, has been postponed on account of the death of Joe and John CREEGAN's father. The game will be played Monday afternoon. Mrs. BLISS, who has supplied Batavia people with a most excellent quality of home-made bread in a small way for several months past, has gone to Buffalo and will conduct her business on a larger scale. Her bakestuffs commend themselves and she will doubtless do a large business. Mr. I.D. SOUTHWORTH says that the report that he is going to remove to Alexander and conduct the hotel at that place and that he has sold an interest in his livery in Batavia, is false. He has bought the Alexander hotel, but has not sold any share in his livery and does not intend to leave Batavia. Miss L.J. TOMPKINS has her opening of fall millinery this week and is showing some very elegant goods. Miss TOMPKINS has the largest exclusively millinery establishment in town and does a large and constantly increasing business. Ladies will take delight in examining the nice goods to be seen there. Last Monday evening a barn on the LARKIN farm in Byron took fire from some cause, presumably a cigar or pipe, and was burned to the ground, together with its contents, including three horses. The barn was insured for $600, but John GARTLEY, who works the farm, suffers a total loss on stock, tools, produce, etc. On Tuesday next in Wm. C. WATSON's office the trial of the case of E.J. PETTIBONE against the village of Elba will be finished. The case was partly tried last week. Col. PETTIBONE sues for $2,000 damages, claimed on account of the grade being lowered in front of his residence in Elba. Messrs. C.A. HULL, David LENT, and W. Harris DAY are the commissioners appointed to fix the amount of the award, if any. Operations for sinking the test gas well on the HOLDEN property, across the creek from the foot of Chestnut street, have commenced in earnest. Driller ADAMS has got his engine and boiler in position and the derrick is slowly taking its way skyward. In another week drilling will no doubt have been begun and the anxiety of the stock-holders will increase as the drill penetrates farther and farther into the earth. The Le Roy Courier said last week: "The newspapers of Batavia, none of whom could gather spunk to urge an overcoat for the big ditch, have spent the last six weeks plunging for a fire alarm system." If the Courier will turn to the files of the Spirit of the Times it will find in several issues reference to the "big ditch," in all of which we strongly urge that it be covered or be otherwise put in better condition. Mr. Harry C. FERREN, who presented "Pinafore" in this village last winter by local talent, put the "Makado" on the boards at Batavia Monday evening of last week, to a crowded house. There is some talk of his giving the opera in this village sometime in the near future. If he does he can be assured of a success. Mr. FERREN is a successful manager of light operas and is greeted with large audiences wherever he goes. A meeting of the Athletic Association was held last Monday evening and the following officers were elected: President, Albert E. BROWN; vice-president, W.E. RICHARDSON; secretary, W.S. WAKEMAN; treasurer, C.B. TALLMAN; directors, L.D. COLLINS, S.J. LAWRENCE, J.F. HALL, R.A. SHEFFIELD. Dewey MILLER, of Byron, will be one hundred years old on Saturday of this week. Fred HOFFMEISTER, aged 28, died at his home on South Swan street Friday last of typhoid fever. We acknowledge the courtesy of Mr. John S. BODGE, of La Porte, Ind., in sending papers from that city. The company of young people who rendered the Mikado here under Mr. FERREN's direction will produce it in Brockport to-night. Mr. Wm. M. JENNE and Mrs. Hattie NORTON, both well known Bethany people, were married at Linden on Wednesday last, Rev. McELROY officiating. We'd like our pick out of E. TOWNSEND & Sons' Holstein cows.--Le Roy Courier. All right; go down most any dark night. They have no dog. M.C. BENHAM, of South Byron, has raised 20,000 pounds of hops this season on which at 20 cents per pound he will realize $4,000. Pretty profitable farming. A new juvinile industry has sprung up: At Canastato small boys make a pretty good thing gathering up the corn silk around the canning factory. It is sent to Albany where it is used in making cigarettes. It is about time for the boys to get together for their annual hunt---choosing sides, tramping all day and winding up with a big supper in the evening. There is lots of fun and the occasion is not wholly devoid of work. Game is passably plenty and why not have a "shoot." After twenty-eight years of proprietorship of the Lyons Republican Mr. Wm. T. TINSLEY has sold the paper and printing business to Wm. G. DAVID, formerly of the Canandaigua Journal. The Republican has always, during Mr. TINSLEY's administration, been a clean sheet, morally, politically, and typographically, and he made it a first-class paper in all respects. Mr. DAVID is a journalist of ability and we wish him abundant success. In some of the schools in the state bulletin boards are placed in the hallways for the information of visitors who may call. This is a good thing because it pre-supposes visits from the patrons and a consequent interest. It is a good thing for parents and citizens generally to drop in occasionally and see how the educational mill grinds. It encourages both teachers and pupils to know that you are interested in their work and it gives you a better appreciation of our excellent advantages in this direction. As Ed. WOODWARD was sitting by a window at his home on Bank street last Saturday forenoon he heard something fall with a thud on the sidewalk alongside of the house. Going out he found lying on the walk a large, plump partridge in the last struggles of death. He took it in and had a nice dinner on it. How it came there is a mystery. There were no marks on it to indicate that it had been shot and the supposition is that it became blinded by the reflection of the sun on the glass in the cupola on the house and flew against something. The General Term, Superior Court, Albany, has decided that last spring's election of officers at the New York State Agricultural Society was illegal. There was a contest over the secretaryship between T.L. HARRISON, of Ogdensburg, who held the office for ten years, and J.S. WOODWARD, of Lockport. WOODWARD was elected owing to his having more proxies than HARRISON and the latter, enraged, chagrinned, and disappointed by being ousted resorted to legal disputations, making, on the whole, an old ass of himself. He is one of those old fossils who think that the world will stop revolving when they die. The Mt. Morris Union says, speaking of the Livingston county fair, "Mons. Ira ALLEN's balloon ascension and parachute descent proved a failure, but not without an effort, however, on the part of the aeronaut to make a success of it. Two attempts were made but in both instances the balloons lacked buoyancy and only sailed a short distance over the fence. Mons. ALLEN claimed the heavy condition of the atmosphere, together with too much smoke and not enough hot air in the balloon, as the reason why she would not go up." That is the way ALLEN's ascension flizzled out here July 4th. We have failed to hear as yet of a bona fide ascension made by "Mons!" ALLEN. + + THE M.E. ENTERTAINMENT. The Y.P.C.A. of the M.E. church gave a musical and literary entertainment in aid of the organ fund on Tuesday evening last which was well patronized and proved very interesting and pleasing. Miss May DELBRIDGE, of Batavia, and Miss Cora BRITTON, of Rochester, and Miss Cora B. RADLEY, of Batavia, gave readings, which were well received, Ida ROSS recited a little poem, and Miss Agnes WHALEN, of this village, recited "Miles Standish's Courtship" in an especially charming manner. Misses Eva BARNES and Grace PECK played a piano duet prettily and were warmly applauded. Messrs. C.B. PECK, N.And E.G. HARTSHORN and E.E. LEVENWORTH sang a quartette acceptably and Messrs. PECK and WARD sang a duet. Mr. C.W. THOMAS played several selections on the Spanish mandolin and was accompanied on the guitar and piano. Mr. Grant HOOD played cornet solos, accompanied on the piano by Prof. Geo. T. OGDON, and May PHELPS sang a cute little song, Mrs. W.D. SANFORD accompanying on the piano. The entertainment closed with a piano solo by Prof. E.B. PAGE. The Association netted about $45, which nearly makes up the entire amount--$200--subscribed to the fund by them. + + Henry BENDER, a bachelor, living at Lock Berlin, was found dead with a bullet hole in his head Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. BENDER was last seen alive on Thursday afternoon. + + Carter's Little Liver Pills may well be termed "Perfection." Their gentle action and good effect on the system, really make them a perfect little pill. They will please those who use them. + + Women with pale colorless faces who feel weak and discouraged, will receive both mental and bodily vigor by using Carter's Iron Pills, which are made for the blood, nerves, and complexion. + + - this issue to be cont'd. - submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
