John GROAT, an inmate of the County House, died at that institution at 8 o'clock last evening from hemorrhage of the lungs, aged 91 years.

He was a Mason, and Batavia Masons Probably Will Attend the Funeral. Attica.--The funeral of George W. REYNOLDS, who died at the County House in Varysburg Wednesday night, will be held at the vault in Forest Hill cemetery tomorrow at 2 p.m. The services will be conducted by the Attica lodge, F.&A.M., of which the deceased was a member.

He had been an inmate of the County House since March. ++ QUIET DAY IN BATAVIA. After the morning trains have departed from Batavia on Monday, July 4th, the village is likely to have a deserted appearance. The 7:10 o'clock Central accommodation will carry to Brockport the Alerts, Zephyrs, and Hooks and it is probable that a large number of Batavians will accompany them. The fare for the round trip is only a dollar, but the excursion tickets are good only on the 7:10 train. Returning they will be received on all regular trains and on a special train leaving Brockport for Rochester and Batavia at 1:20 a.m. on Tuesday. The Alerts will be accompanied by the Fifty-fourth Regiment band of Rochester, the Zephyrs by the Fifty-fourth Regiment drum corps and the Hooks by the Citizens' band. The majority of Batavians who go out of town undoubtedly will visit Le Roy, where there will be a big celebration. Those who go by rail, may take their choice of Central or Erie trains, as both roads have made a special rate of 30 cents for the round trip. These tickets will be good on all regular trains, going and coming, and on special Central trains leaving Le Roy at 8 p.m.and 16 minutes after midnight and on a special Erie train out of Le Roy at 10:45 p.m. The Central placed both its Brockport and Le Roy excursion tickets on sale today. Le Roy never looked so gay as it does today, and it will look better on Monday. The decorations in the business part of the village are magnificent. A Buffalo expert decorator has charge of the work. ++ Leave your order for a CANCELLING STAMP for Internal Revenue Stamps, at Perrin's Cigar Store, No 8 Jackson St. ++ Uneasy Lies the Head.
