****************** Batavia Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State December 28-1880 Hunter's Point, N.Y., Dec. 27. - No trains are through yet from Northport, Port Jefferson, or Greenport on the Long Island Railroad. Nearly all the cuts are filled with snow. Babylon trains are running on the old Southern road. They had to cut through six feet of snow in many places. * The Snow Storm. Between seven and eight o'clock yesterday morning snow began to fall, and continued at intervals during the day, some three and a half inches having fallen up to eleven o'clock last night. About noon the wind freshened up and blew rather briskly during the rest of the day, causing more or less drifting of the snow. The area of snow extended eastward from Minnesota tot he Atlantic coast, and as far south as Kentucky and Tennessee. The different lines of railroad running into the city reported no detention from the snow yesterday, all train running and departing on time. The indications for to-day are clearing weather with a lower thermometer. - 'Buffalo Courier' * A New Rig. Messrs. HILLER & SCHAD have just completed for O.E. CHITTENDEN a handsome double sleigh. It is to be used expressly for party purposes and is just the thing. Mr. CHITTENDEN is also well prepared with other rigs, and is able at all times to furnish the citizens of Batavia with a first-class turn-out. The services of N.C. CARROLL have been secured, who will at all times be prepared to wait upon the boys. * Forgery in Alexander. Last Friday a young fellow named HAMILTON, who formerly worked in the vicinity of Alexander, called at the store of Philip ZWETSCH in that village, and presented an order for $10, which upon examination was found to be unsigned. Mr. ZWETSCH did not pay the order and the fellow left. In about an hour he returned with an order for a like amount, signed by Louis MOULTON. He stated to Mr. ZWETSCH that he had been in the employ of Mr. MOULTON, and was instructed to come there and procure the money. The $10 was furnished him and he went to the HEINTZ hotel. Mr. Z., thinking that all was not right, followed him to the hotel and asked him to come back to the store for the purpose of comparing the signature with others which Mr. ZWETSCH had in his possession. On his way over HAMILTON said that he wished to step into DICKINSON's store and would be in the ZWETSCH store in a few moments. Instead of going into DICKINSON's, however, he started toward Attica, on a run. As soon as the forgery was made known officers were sent in pursuit of HAMILTON, but at last accounts he had not been apprehended. * Five Indians Arrested. This afternoon Deputy Sheriff WINSLOW arrived in town, having in custody John, Rubin, Frank, Jake and Fred DOCTOR and William STRONG. All of them are wild looking Indians and reside in the vicinity of Alabama. It seems that on Sunday last, during the progress of a religious meeting in that town, these wild fellows, who were drunk at the time, stationed themselves in the vicinity of the church and hooted and yelled like so many Commanche chiefs, and in other ways conducted themselves in an unbecoming manner. They were accordingly arrested and will have a hearing as soon as the witnesses arrive. * Miss Lillian CHASE at Dellinger Opera House Saturday Evening, January 1st, 1881, Capt. Lina BEECHER, Manager. The charming young artist, Miss Lillian CHASE, in her popular dramatic and [n/h]umorous Readings, and original characters, assisted by BRAINARD's grand orchestra of ten pieces. Admission, 35 cents; gallery, 25 cents. Seats reserved without extra charge at Mackey Brothers. Read what the Toronto 'Globe' says of Miss CHASE: Miss Lillian CHASE opened the amusement season at the Grand Opera House last night, before a fashionable audience that packed the house from pit to dome. Miss CHASE has no rival as a dramatic reader, being the equal of Scott SIDDONS in elocutionary and dramatic power, and superior to that lady in face and form. Miss CHASE is only twenty-one years old and has an elegant wardrobe. * submitted by Linda Schmidt *********************************************
