    3. Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State October 29-1875 -part 2- The Livingston county Dansvillians think there is enough gas escaping from a spring at Stony Brook Glen, to light their village, and are testing its quality. A switchman at Avon named FAYLON, had his foot caught in a frog recently, and FAYLON to extricate it in time, it was run over by a passing train and crushed. The Nunda 'News' says a ten year old son of Mr. Fayette KEYES recently "dug 225 bushels of potatoes in ten hours." SANDERS, on, SANDERS! What will become of you? It is estimated that Western New York produces over one-half of all the apples raised in the United States. The annual product of several counties amount to 1,500,000 barrels. The Livingston county agricultural society finds itself some $500 short this year by reason of the bad weather which prevented people from attending the fair, thus cutting off its principal income. The large farm barns of Mr. Sanford PARKER, at Nunda Station,, was burned on Monday night. Loss $2,000. Incendiary work. Wide awake and efficient Sheriffs and deputies is what the county needs now. David DALRYMPLE, a workman engaged in digging a well for Henry BOWMAN, at Somerset, Niagara Co., fell into the excavation, a distance of over seventeen feet, last week. He fell upon a fellow workman, and sustained serious injuries, though he is expected to recover. The man upon whom he fell was but slightly injured. A teamster from the country whose name we did not learn, met with an accident that very seldom occurs, near the residence of Mr. Wm. CHAMBERLAIN, one day last week. He was coming to the flax mill with a load of flax, loaded on a hay rack. The friction of a wheel against the side of the rack started a fire, and the load and the wagon were entirely destroyed. It required lively work to get the horses unhitched in time to save them. Kenyons' Crockery Store!

Jelly Tumblers 40c-Goblets 75c-Goblets-99c Glass Set 50c. E.L. & G.D. KENYON. Died Suddenly! How often in these days do we hear this. And this leads me to say, I will sell Caskets and Coffins as cheap as any other man in Genesee County. I will also sell Furniture! A general assortment at the lowest possible living prices. C.T. BUXTON. Bergen-D.McPHERSON returned from his western trip last Wednesday morning, somewhat to the surprise of his friends, who had not expected him quite so soon. The teacher engaged to teach the school in the Black Creek district is Bissell SANFORD. He has our sympathy. Ned TOWNSEND returned home from Auburn last Friday, expecting to go back Monday, but is detained by illness. Wm. P. MUNGER started for Beloit, Wis., last Monday evening, having been summoned by telegraph to the sick bed of his sister, Mrs. WATSON. In the way of improvements we notice that Dr. TOWNSEND is putting a furnace into the house. We hope he will be able to keep warm the coming winter. + submitted by Linda C.
