Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee Co., NY October 8 1887 A BIG TREE. Among the famous elms of America the Boston Herald names the "Big Tree" of the Senecas, near Geneseo, washed away in 1857, the trunk of which measured 28 feet 9 inches in circumference, but says nothing about the monster monarch that used to stand on the Calvin DUTTON farm in Pavillion, this county, and which was fully as large as the one above mentioned if not larger. It was blown over in 1881 and the base of the trunk is now on the Pioneer ground at Silver Lake. There is an unsettled controversy as to whether this or the Geneseo elm is the original "Big Tree" of the Senecas. Perhaps Bro. SANBORN, of Albion, who is well posted in Indian lore, can give us information on this point. + + ANOTHER DAILY PAPER. Messrs. ROBINSON & ROGERS, of Boston, are in town looking over the ground with a view to establishing another daily evening paper here. Both are practical newspaper men, are well pleased with our village and are quite sanguine of making a success of their proposed new venture. The newspaper field seems to be pretty well covered now and whether another daily paper here would pay or not is a question that experience alone can settle. With the News and a half dozen dailies from Rochester and Buffalo to compete with it would seem to us that such a venture would be a profitless one--at least for the first two or three years. + + NOT A PATIENT PATIENT. Patrick BAILEY is a track hand on the Central Hudson road and lives on Maple street. He has been sick for some time and was attended by Dr. PATTEN. On Thursday of last week the Doctor left some medicine for him to take, with specific directions as to size and frequency of dose. During the afternoon Bailey undertook to regulate his own doses and, taking the bottle, drank nearly half its contents. It nearly proved his last dose for it came within an ace of killing him: He rapidly sank into a stupor and would soon have died had not medical aid been speedily summoned. He was rallied from his dangerous condition and will no doubt more patiently await the results of smaller doses. + + John SCHEBISH's Death. The death and speedy burial of the boy John SCHEBISH last week was the cause of considerable comment and several rumors were set afloat as to the cause of his death, but the facts are not different from those stated last week. It is pretty certain, however, that the boy had been unwell and not properly cared for by his parents, who are said to be ignorant to the last degree. Health Officer PALMER has investigated this most extraordinary case and has been informed by the family that this boy had been sick more or less with inflammatory rheumatism for more than six months, and at the time of his death was taking from a physician in Buffalo. John had frequently gone in swimming during the summer, in direct opposition to the commands of his parents, which probably was the approximate cause of his death. Therefore, to exhume the body and hold an inquest would be to not only incur an unnecessary expense and hazard the lives of those who handled the body, but would be of no practical usefulness to the family, neighborhood or the medical profession. + + THE SWINDLERS ESCAPE. The three sharpers who got $3,000 from Edw. COPELAND last Friday made a quick escape but were not so spry but that they might have been overhauled had COPELAND appraised the officers of his loss at once instead of waiting an hour or two after they had gone. The men hired their rigs of Champion, at Le Roy, and drove here. After they got the money they drove through Pavillion, where they stopped a half hour, and thence to Moscow, where they left their horses, taking a train on the D., L. & W. road, probably for New York. Before leaving, however, they wrote to Mr. CHAMPION, telling him where he could find his rigs. There is very little sympathy expressed for COPELAND. Had he lost the money in a legitimate speculation people would have been sorry for his misfortunes, but as it is they rather chuckle at his loss. + + A HARD BLOW. The past week has been one of almost constant rain and on Monday last a heavy and damaging wind storm prevailed, causing heavy losses to the farmers hereabouts. Thousands of bushels of apples, good marketable fruit, were blown off the trees and many fruit trees of various kinds were blown down. At Buffalo the wind attained the fearful velocity of sixty miles an hour, making havoc with the shipping and doing great damage to many vessels. There was very little damage done in this immediate vicinity but out in the country it was considerable. Although the farmers delighted to see the much needed rain they were sorry to be the victims of the heavy wind. + + TO INCREASE THEIR BATAVIA BUSINESS. The New York Lumber and Wood Working Co.'s factory in New York city is to shut down on the 15th inst., and all of its wood working machinery, valued at between $15,000 and $20,000, together with its mammoth engine and boilers will be removed to its branch factory in this village. Its workmen and their families will soon follow. A new brick engine and boiler house is to be built immediately at the factory here, just north of the present one, to be occupied by the coming engine of 150-horse power. An electric light plant is to be put in at the works and run by the additional steam power. This light will enable the many employees to make a full day's work and do overwork when needed. Superintendent HONECK expects to leave for New York next week to superintend the removal. With this additional machinery and steam power the factory here will be able to turn out an immense amount of work and keep a large number of men employed the year round. Since its establishment here the factory has been crowded with work, and the present indications are that it will be through the days to come. Mr. HONECK informs us that the number of additional men to be employed here will be thirty to forty, most of whom are skilled workmen and have families. Their presence here will be very welcome and will materially aid the growth of our village. + + THE FARMERS CLUB. The farmers having about completed their fall work will soon no doubt turn their attention to the reorganization of the Farmers Club. This can be made what it has been in the past, a valuable institution to its intelligent patrons and every farmer within a reasonable distance of Batavia should avail himself of the advantages of a membership therein. It is profitable for a farmer to discuss and compare means and methods employed in their business and the successful farmer is he who puts to a practical use the knowledge he gains thereby. Start up the club and let it have the hearty support of all. + + AN ATTEMPTED MURDER AVERTED. Peter WERNER has tried for many months to collect a board bill of Elroy CHURCHILL amounting to $77, and not succeeding finally lost his temper and avowed his intention to kill his debtor if he did not pay. Thursday he came up town in an angry mood, and finding CHURCHILL in the Genesee House he approached him, loudly threatening to shoot him, at the same time flourishing a revolver. Capt. LYNCH's son Thomas sprang upon WERNER and disarmed him and CHURCHILL was hustled out of the place by some friends. Being liberated from the grasp of those who held him WERNER sought elsewhere for a revolver, but seeing his excited condition no one would let him have one. He has probably had time to cool off by this time and no doubt concludes that his neck is worth more than $77. Temper is a bad thing. + + EXIT THE SHOE MAN. THYNG, the shoe man, who came here and opened up a store and advertised to sell first class goods for almost nothing, found some rather slim picking and has finally packed up his traps and left. His store was a place of desolation, but few people going into it. And why was this so? Simply because the Times, ably seconded by the News "raised a rumpus" about our townspeople patronizing itinerant and unknown dealers to the detriment of home interests. What we had to say on that score, although vigorously presented, has had a good effect and the fact that the people let this concern alone conclusively proves that we were right. + + - this edition, to be continued - submitted by Linda C.

Harford Mills, March 10, - The following is from the Free Press, Quakertown, Lehigh Co., PA, dated Feb. 27, 1891. We are this week called upon to chronicle the misdoings of our former townsman, Phaon GERHARD. Mr. GERHARD for a number of years, was a respected citizen of this place, living here with his wife and daughter and was engaged in the cattle business, but about five years ago he failed financially. He continued to live here with his family, doing odd jobs Last November he left this place and his whereabouts for sometime was unknown. From the time he left he also failed to support his family, which at times was in very straightened circumstances. Some time ago, however, it leaked out that he was living with a rich widow in the neighborhood of Harford Mills, NY. A few weeks ago he wrote home saying that his wife should get his clothes in readiness, as he is coming for them but he did not have time for a long stay. Time passed and on last Wednesday he put in hi! s appearance. His wife immediately went to the office of 'Squire BLANK and swore out a warrant for his arrest for non support. Constable KNAUSS served the warrant and brought him before the justice who demanded bail for his appearance at the April term of court. Mr. GERHARD was unable to secure the required amount of bail and as a consequence was in the Lehigh county jail the same afternoon. Much sympathy is felt for his wife, who is an "estimable lady." The Harford Mills people judged that someone must have gone his bail, as he is back living here with the young widow. Walter SHAFER'S injured foot is improving under the skilful care of Dr. J. E. LEONARD. The family of O. F. SEXTON spent last week in Ithaca. A dime social in favor of the Methodist church is to be held at the residence of B. CHAPPINS on Wednesday evening of this week. Rev, Mr. BOTHWICK of Binghamton was a guest of O. F. SEXTON on Monday. He will long be remembered here as the speaker who rendered himself deservedly popular by delivering a very able address at the Christian conference last fall. Quite a number from this place attended the Sunday school association At Harford Sunday and reported a good time. George Hubbard was in Cortland last week. Mrs. MYERS is suffering from neuralgia in the face. L. E. HAY has returned home from Michigan. WAVERLY WOOD SAWYERS. Now that it is authoratively announced that O. G. KING will be a candidate for re-election as county clerk, Waverly's numerous would-be candidates can give their attention to local matters while continuing to saw wood for the future. - Waverly Free Press Bill Grummons

Joseph Kelly, a young till-tapper of Jersey City, fled from an officer after having robbed a store on Oakland Ave., and took refuge in a swamp on the Meadows. The officer who would not follow, threatened to shoot him, and that brought the young rascal to terms. He was very angry when he learned the officer was unarmed. A Newfoundland dog belonging to Charles Walfbegel, who keeps a butchers shop at Ellison and Prospect St.,Paterson NJ, bit Peter Getts an employe, in the leg a short time ago. Getts was incapacitated from work, and Friday made a demand for pay for lost time, which was conducted in such abusive language that he was injected. Yesterday noon while intoxicated he came to the shop and began abusing the proprietors son Theodore. The latter siezed a club to defend himself as one word brought on another, and Getty siezing a cleaver, tried to brain him. Young Walfbegel dodged back, but the cleaver slashed down through his face and made a long deep gash. Getty was arrested after a chase. THE NY TIMES APRIL 10, 1883 Bedford Ind.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Sun Oct 20, 1918 HUNS UNSOCIABLE AT ST. MIHIEL, HE SAYS Didn't Wait for Americans, M. J. McGowan Writes In a recent letter to his sister, Miss HOUSE, of No. 27 Epworth street. Private M. J. McGOWAN, who is in the Third Battalion, Intelligence Section, in France, gives an interesting account of the battle of St. Mihiel. Private McGOWAN was formerly employed by the Taylor instrument Companies. The letter follows in part: "I have received seven letters from you. I have been so busy for the past month chasing Huns that I have had to let them stack up on me. I also received a Sunday Democrat and Chronicle, and wish that you would send me every Sunday's edition while I am over here and still kicking. "Next time you want to send me any chocolate just send me the currency in a registered letter and I will buy it here. I am always near a ‘Y' canteen, because there is a ‘Y' man with each battalion, but the supplies are very limited, so we only get a toothful every now and then if we are not broke. I see by the papers that there is an awful lot of hot chocolate, cigarettes and a few other things given out free to the boys in the trenches, but I guess a fellow has to be in France a year before he is entitled to such treats. I have only been here five months, so I have not seen any of that free stuff yet. "We are making life as miserable as we are allowed to for the Huns. Hot? Well, I should say we are making it nice and hot for Fritzie! You should have seen us playing tag with the Huns on the St. Mihiel sector. They sure are some sprinters, but we tagged quite a bunch of them with our bayonets. "That was no battle; it was a hurdle race over barbed wire, trenches, trees, ditches and anything else that happened to be in the way, the Huns and we after them as fast as we could go, until we got more than 8,000 prisoners, and many, many of the Huns were A. W. O. L. (absent without leave) when the roll, was called up yonder, and still more were in hospitals or on the way in. "All in all, it was a fairly good day's work, and, being union men, we quite for the day to rest up a little. But we did not get much rest, and the baby-killers got still less, because they kept going all that night. "I am beginning to think they don't like our company at all. They surely were not very sociable. They wouldn't stop to say a word or two, but kept going pellmell until they could not run any more, I guess. They were in such a great hurry that they left behind guns, shoes, boots, hats, wagons, horses, ambulances, rolling kitchens and a very large quantity of medical supplies, helmets and ammunition by the wagonload. "I think the reason that they were not so sociable was because they dubbed us amateurs, while they considered themselves veterans. I suppose, and therefore they were above us and did not wish to mix with us. "Home for Christmas, is my motto, American girls are good enough for me. If I ever marry it will be an American." **** Three of America's leading wrestlers are now in Uncle Sam's service. They are Earl CADDOCK, "Strangler" Ed LEWIS and Joe STECHER. CADDOCK is a lieutenant in an infantry regiment and is already serving in France, while STECHER is at the Great Lakes Training Station for sailors, and LEWIS learning how to do ‘ squads right" at Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. STECHER and LEWIS may find time to engage in a few matches during the late fall and winter, unless they are sent over to France. As far as CADDOCK is concerned he is too busily engaged in fighting Germans, and will not appear on the mat again until after the Germans have been stretched on the mat. **** Since the National League season closed a number of the Pirates have found essential jobs in and near Pittsburgh. Wilbur COOPER is wearing overalls and is working every day in the brass shell manufacturing department of a large steel plant near the Smoky City. Bill SOUTHWORTH is working in a shipyard at Chester, Pa., and plays right field on the Chester team of the Shipbuilders' League. Ben SHAW, Tommy LEACH and Red SMITH are earning their daily bread and cheese in an ammunition factory. Mike GIBBONS is gaining great popularity at Camp GORDON, near Atlanta, Ga., to which cantonment he was recently sent as boxing instructor. **** WOMAN THROWN INTO WINDSHIELD OF AUTO Mrs. E. J. Champlin Injured in Honeoye Falls When E. J. CHAMPLIN, of No. 181 Second street, was driving through Honeoye Falls yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock he struck a telephone pole in an attempt to avoid a collision with a truck, and Mrs. CHAMPLIN was thrown through the windshield of the car. She suffered two deep cuts in her forehead. The CHAMPLINS were on their way to West Bloomfield and were driving through Ontario street in Honeoye Falls when the truck was driven in front of them by Roy STURGESS, of Honeoye Falls, CHAMPLIN turned from the road to enter the grounds of the Osburn Canning Company and hit the telephone pole. The front of the car was badly damaged. Mrs. CHAMPLIN'S injuries were dressed by Dr. H. S. BENHAM. CHAMPLIN claims that the truck driver gave no signal that he was about to turn from the road. **** HELD FOR FEDERAL JURY A man and woman were arraigned yesterday morning before United States Commissioner Edwin C. SMITH on the charge of violating the selective-slave law. The offense is alleged to have been committed in the New Windsor Hotel, Clinton avenue north. They pleaded not guilty and their bails were fixed at $500 year. The cases were held for the grand jury. **** TWO MILITARY FUNERALS One for Joseph B. Enkofer; Another to be Held for R. E.

Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY September 9 1862 ARRIVAL OF CHARLEY RAND. Charles F. RAND, of this town, who enlisted in Capt. ROOT's Company, 12th Regiment, at the outbreak of the rebellion, and who is a Sergeant, and was badly wounded in the battles of Gaine's Mills, on the 27th of June and taken prisoner by the rebels, returned home on Friday last. Charley had his shoulder badly shattered by a minie ball, which rendered a most delicate and dangerous surgical operation necessary--it being nothing less than the removal of the arm bone from the socket in the shoulder down half way to his elbow, which was successfully done by Doct. SWINBURNE, Volunteer Surgeon from Albany. He speaks in glowing terms of Doct. S., and attributes to him the saving of his life. After this surgical operation, Charley was removed to the Libby prison in Richmond, from which place he was transferred, after being exchanged, to the Philadelphia Hospital, where he remained until able to travel towards home. He brings a souvenir with him, being the key to one of the doors of this celebrated prison, which he pocketed just before his departure. + + Capt. ROOT, in addition to being twice wounded in the recent battle in front of Washington, was taken prisoner by the rebels. He arrived at Syracuse on Saturday evening. + + CAUSALITIES IN CAPT. ROOT'S COMPANY. In Front of Washington, Sept. 5 1862. D.D. WAITE, Esq.--Sir:--The following is a list of causalities in Co. K., 12th N.Y.V., from the battle of Saturday, the 30th August: Killed--Michael RYAN, Syracuse. Wounded--Capt. A.I. ROOT, Corporal H. FERGUSON, Privates James BLOEDT, Edward FITZMAURICE, Edward FOLLERT, Samuel McCORMICK, Wm. STANTON. Missing--Privates H.W. SMITH, Jacob TRIETLEY(sp?). Lieut. LUDDEN and private CONWAY were taken prisoners. CONWAY was subsequently released on parole. Lieut. LUDDEN is still in the hands of the enemy. Yours respectfully, John B. FOOTE, 1st Sergeant Co. K + + Lieut. LUDDEN.--News was received last week of the death of Lieut. Dexter LUDDEN, of this place, an officer in Capt. ROOT's company, 12th N.Y. Volunteers. The intelligence caused much sensation here--for he was generally known, and as generally esteemed. We now learn that he is not dead, but that he was taken prisoner by the rebels, and will doubtless be paroled and sent home, in a day or two. + + CAPT. McMANIS' COMPANY. This excellent Company having been filled to its full capacity, proceeded on Thursday to the military depot at Lockport, were examined by Surgeon COTES, and mustered into the Regiment on Friday. Previous to leaving, a splendid Dinner was "got up" at Concert Hall, by our citizens, and the Company went off with flying colors. A splendid sword was presented to Capt. McMANIS, Hon. H.U. SOPER making the presentation speech, to which the Captain made a fitting reply. A sword was also presented to Lieut. GOODSPEED, Harry WILBER making the speech, and the Lieutenant replying in a proper manner. The Company was escorted to the depot by the Fire Department, and the people turned out en masse to pay them their parting respects. At the same time, fifty odd Volunteers from LeRoy, belonging to Capt. COLLINS' Company, commanded by Lieut. ANDERSON, went on to Lockport. They were a fine lot of men. + + Capt. ROOT Again Wounded.--We are sorry to learn that our friend Capt. A.I. ROOT, of the 12th, was again wounded in the battle of the 29th ult. The Regiment suffered terribly, having lost in killed, wounded, and missing, two-thirds of its men. It mustered only 116 effective men, after the battle. + + NUMAN's BATTERY. The success of Capt. NUMAN, assisted by Lieuts.. PRINGLE and WORTHINGTON, in raising a full Company for this Battery in so short a time, is something of which the Captain and his assistants may well be proud. The number of men necessary was 156, and by Friday last the company was full and more men offering.--This Battery Company is made up of some of the best men ever enlisted from this or any other County. The leading town to fill this Battery was Alexander. Over fifty young men, mainly from the very best families in the town, have enlisted in this Company! Bethany, Oakfield, Bergen, Darien, and Batavia, are ably represented in it. Capt. NUMAN, himself, is a man of energy and ability, and will be found an excellent Commanding Officer. In his hands, the young men will be treated as they should be, and will make this Company one of which the County and State may be justly proud. Lieuts.. PRINGLE and WORTHINGTON are gentlemen every way, and we are confident will become accomplished officers. + + A Tempest in a Teapot. The Times has a long-winded account of an alleged arrest of some supposed secession sympathizors in Darien. We are authorized to say that there were no arrests made at all--not the first one. Officers went there and held an examination into certain matters, as it was their duty to do. What their conclusions were will be found hereafter. + + We hoped today to give a list of the names of our citizens who have given bounties for Volunteers--but are unable to do so. We expect to be able to give the list next week. + + Meetings have been held here every day during the past week--including Sunday--the purpose of raising Volunteers. Large bounties have been offered by our citizens, and a goodly number of Volunteers have responded. + + A Close Shave.--On Friday night, one of Capt. McMANIS' men, while in camp at Lockport, made a murderous attack upon the Captain, while he was asleep. He attempted to stab him with a bayonet, but fortunately missed his body. He was promptly knocked down and secured. The man was probably laboring under an attack of delirium tremors. + + Our Quota--We are unable to give an estimate of the number which this town or the county falls short of having furnished its quota of Volunteers. The number, however, will be small. In the mean time, before the draft is made, recruiting is going on for regiments in the field, which entitle recruits to the State and county Bounty. Let the work go on. + + $10 Reward. A wall tent, belonging to the State Arsenal, and erected near the Park, in this Village, for a recruiting office, was stolen on Saturday night. A reward of Ten Dollars will be paid for the recovery of the property and apprehension of the thief. D.D. WAITE, Military Store Keeper. + + Dr. Russell J. WHITE, Analytical Physician. Dr. R.J. WHITE can be found at his office for consultation with the sick, Batavia, Eagle Hotel, Tuesday, the 30th of September. + + Batavia Crockery Store. China, Earthern, Glass, & Plated Ware. M.W. HEWITT. + + The Old and Responsible D. LEARY's Dyeing and Scouring Establishment, Two hundred Yards north of the New York Central Railroad Depot, On Mill Street, corner of Platt street, Rochester NY. + + Military Officer's Outfits! At Comstock's, Swan St., Buffalo. + + Monitor House. The subscribers have recently opened the Hotel and Saloon formerly owned and occupied by John KENYON, which has been christened the Monitor House, where they will be happy to wait on their friends and the customers of the establishment, and they promise them that every possible effort shall be made to suit.

Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY December 20 1838 DIED. On Saturday morning, the 15th inst. at the residence of his brother in law, col. DUNHAM, Mr. William GOODRICH, aged 57 years. During his lingering sickness and at the close of life, Mr. GOODRICH gave much consoling evidence of christian patience and resignation,--and his friends therefore have reason to feel that they are not called to mourn "as those who have no hope." + + Wood!! Wood!!! Such of our subscribers as desire to pay their subscriptions in Wood, are requested to deliver it without delay. All others who owe us for papers, Blanks, Job Printing or advertising, "will please step up to the captain's office and s-e-t-t-l-e!" + + HARD-WARE. I will sell off my Hard-Ware at a great deduction, most of which is just received, wishing, to dispose of it entirely, and will give my customers a good opportunity to purchase. James P. SMITH. + + THE CANADA WAR. This ill-advised and worse conducted war is probably at an end for the present, at least we hope so, and appearances, we think, warrant the supposition. The result is just what every sane man who considered the matter for a moment, might suppose. Such of the Patriots as failed in making their escape, were either shot or were doomed to the gallows--many have already become its victims. We do think the two last invasions of Canada, at Prescott and Sandwich, ought to convince every rational person of the perfect fool-hardiness of the attempt to force freedom upon the Canadians. + + WORTHY OF NOTICE. A fellow who was hung lately, confessed under the gallows, that his career of crime commenced by stopping a newspaper without paying for it! How certainly, then, may those expect to streach hemp, who continue to take newspaper with paying for it? -Le Roy Gazette + + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY March 15 1838 DIED--At North Bergen, on the morning of the 26th February, Mr. Selden ORR, in the 21st year of his age, after an illness of about one week, occasioned by his being thrown from a cutter at North Byron. By this dispensation of Divine Providence the large circle of acquaintances which our deceased friend had formed are very sensibly and grievously afflicted. But an unfailing source of consolation remains in the remembrance of that christian fortitude which characterised his last hours, and in the full assurance he gave, that his body would be taken down only to be rebuilt upon a more divine form. Ah, he was born for a higher destiny than that of Earth, else why was it that the high and glorious aspirations he manifested in every emotion that heaved the temple of his heart, for that realm where the rainbow never fades--where the stars will be forever spread out before him like the islands that sumber on the bosom of the ocean--and where his bright form of human beauty which passed before us like a vision, will be clothed in robes celestial, made white in the blood of the Lamb, and dwell in his presence forever. His funeral was attended in the Church at the centre of Sweeden near the place of his residence, where an unusually large congregation assembled, and the solemnities of the occasion, performed by the Rev. Mr. COLEMAN, who in a feeling and impressive discourse, tendered the consolations of the Gospel to his mourning relatives and sympathising neighbors, in which may they find consolation far surpassing their day of trouble. And may the God of grace sanctify the affliction to the good of all. + + At NORTH BERGEN, on the morning of the 17th February, Hellen, daughter of Samuel and Anna GRAVES, aged two years. + + DIED--At the house of Erastus SMITH, Esq. on Thursday the 8th inst. Miss Rebecca BILLINGS, aged 42 years, formerly of Preston, Chenango Co. In the death of this lady the Church of which she was a member, and all her friends have sustained an irreparable loss. Of a quiet and unostentatious demeanor her virtues and religion shone to the best advantage in her daily walk and conversation. She was much beloved by her immediate friends, and esteemed by all who knew her. Her long and painful illness she bore with christian meekness and resignation. Of her it may be said, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." + + FIRE IN WARSAW.-- The house of Widow STEVENS in Warsaw, was on the night of the 23d ult. wholly consumed by fire. When discovered, the fire was so far advanced as to baffle every effort to arrest its progress. The family barely escaped with their lives, without being able to save any thing from the chambers and sleeping apartments, which contained most of the furniture and other valuables belonging to the family. Miss BLACKMER, a sister of Mrs. STEVENS, and resident in her family, lost most of her furniture, clothing, and money, amounting to about $25. The inhabitants of this village, with becoming promptitude, raised a subscription for the benefit of the sufferers. + + FIRE--A little after 12 o'clock on Saturday night, a fire broke out in the store on Exchange street, formerly occupied as an auction store by Hiram ALLEN, and now occupied as a store by A. SOPER. The building, with the exception of the walls, was entirely destroyed. The flames spread with so great rapidity, that very few of the goods were saved. They were, however, insured for $2,500, which was probably near their full value. -from the Rochester Democrat. + + Small Pox among the Menomonees. The Green Bay Democrat of February 17th, says that the Small Pox is raging to a considerable extent among the Menomonee Indians. Between forty and fifty have died within the past four weeks. Their condition is said to be miserable in the extreme. + + BLACK LIST. The height of meanness and rascality.--If any thing can provoke us it is the receipt of a letter from some swindling vagabond, who, after taking a newspaper for one, two, or three years, without paying one cent for the same, informs us that the paper is no longer wanted. But such persons are gentlemen, compared to the fellow who sent us the following beautiful epistle, post-marked at Lockport upon which the postage was unpaid! He owed us $5.82, for the Republican Advocate. The following is a literal copy of the letter referred to. Mr. D.D. WAITE, Sir. I am broke Down poor and cannot pay one cent of Debts to any man yors &c. S.S. PARKER. Alabama, March 12, 1838. + + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

At the close of his sermon last Sunday Rev. Wm. F. BERGER formally tendered his resignation as pastor of the Congregational church. He has received a call to a larger place, Moravia, and, though the RECORD regrets exceedingly that the church here should lose so talented minister, it is known that he is capable of filling a better position then he now holds. He carries with him the best wishes of all. Bill Grummons

Joyce: In your Ohio transcripts, if you come across any FALLONs in Ashtabula Co., 1870-1910, I would be interested. Also, in the great railroad bridge crash in Ashtabula, it is hard to find names of people involved in construction, before and after the crash, but I have always wondered if Michael FALLON had any part in it. He would not have been in charge, as I have read enough to know those who were blamed for the errors in planning and execution of the ill-fated bridge. Mary
