ANGELICA, June 11. — Belmont, the county seat, and the home of the spiritualists of Allegany county, is highly excited at present over a most peculiar circumstance. The Union last week reported the strange acts of Adelbert BAKER of Belmont, the farmer who ran away from home, after having on May 19th, been pronounced insane, having been discharged some time before from the Willard Asylum as cured. Just before he was taken for the second time to the asylum and while yet in the Erie depot at Belmont, BAKER stood before the opening to the ticket office, facing the clock in the depot office. Suddenly he was heard to scream, and all that could be distinguished was: "Stop! I stopped the clock in Hornellsville yesterday, and I can stop you," His words being directed to the depot clock. Strange to relate, within an hour, the clock had stopped and refused to go again. The depot employees could not even get the pendulum to swing enough to make a noise in ticking. A message from Hornellsville stated that they had been having trouble with the depot clock there and could not make it run. Just what the cause is, cannot be told, but the spiritualists, it is stated, believe that it is a very superstitious sign and bad luck is soon to follow. Superintendent D.C. GRUNDER has been called to investigate five insane cases during the past week, which is an unusual record for one week in the country. The following late business has been transacted in Allegany County Surrogate Court: Letters testamentary issued to H.C. DRESSER on the estate of the late Laura WOODS of Rushford; personal estate, $450. Letters of administration issued to B.F. WHITNEY on the estate of the late Nora TORMEY of Amity; personal estate, $1,500; letters of administration issued to Mary BROWN on the estate of the late Jeremiah PERRY of New Hudson; real estate, $1,500; personal, $250; letters of administration issued to Sarah V. SPRING, de bonis non, on the estate of Salome VINCENT of Wellsville. Will admitted to probate, Katherine GONTER of Wellsville; real estate, $2,500; personal, $300. Will admitted to probate, Charles S. WHITNEY, late of Amity; personal estate, $100. Letters of administration issued to W.H. KELLER on the estate of the late Abial THOMAS of Alfred; real estate, $1,000; personal, $1,000. Letters testamentary issued to Alice H. CRANS and Agnes M. CRANS on the estate of the late Huldah J.

Early last spring, while suffering from rheumatism, Mr. THOMAS sustained a slight bruise on his foot, which soon developed into a very troublesome sore, gangrene finally resulting. A couple of weeks ago a toe was removed, but the gangrene spread and on May 31st his leg was taken off midway between the ankle and knee by Dr. E.P. STUART of this place, assisted by Dr. TOWNSEND of Dresden. The wound apparently healed well, but Mr. THOMAS' condition was such that he was unable to rally. His age was about 60 years. He leaves a wife, one daughter and one son. He was a veteran of the Civil war. Submitted by Sylvia Myers Olson
