Morris Robinson and wife met with quite an accident last Sabbath, They had a horse and cutter and had just crossed the bridge near Sylvester Wood- bridge's, when suddenly the horse stum- bled and fell, and they all went down a high bank into the creek. The prompt assistance of parties who lived near by, rescued them. Mrs. Robinson complain- ed of receiving some injuries, which we hope are not serious. Mr. Robinson took a very cold bath, but was not injur- ed. - The horse, cutter and harness were damaged. A Republican caucus was held at S. Lamb's Hotel, last Saturday afternoon at 2p. M. Isaac V. Baker, Jr., S. P. Pike and L. W. Barrett were elected delegates to the District Convention to be held at North Granville on the 28d day of Feb- ruary. There is an increased interest in the meetings at the Methodist church. Sev- eral went forward Sunday evening.- The meetings will be continued this week. Fort Edward. Ash Wednesday was observed by the St. James Episcopal church and the St. Joseph's Catholic church, by appropriate services. At the Republican caucus, held at the St. James Hotel last Saturday, Hon. A. D. Wait, Hon. T. J. Potter and Edgar Hull were elected delegates to a District Con- vention to be held at Granville Feb. 21. A young man named Fox, whois em- ployed at the paper mill, caught his hand in the machinery Saturday and injured it so that it will be necessary to ampu- tate one or two of his fingers. We were favored with one or two run- aways last week, but none of them caused more than a momentary excite ment. The leading politicians of both parties are already begrinning to smairk and smile and are quite anxious to Shake hands with every one they meet and inquire after their fanailies. A C. Hodgeman, clothing merchant of this place, has taken a stock of cloth- dispose of at auction. H. P. Chronkhite accompanied him to act as auctioneer. Mr. Walter M. Lane of this village, died quite suddenly Thursday afternoon after an illness of buta few days. He was 47 years old and was an esteemed and respected citizen. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the Presby- terian church and was attended py a large number of Master Masons clothed in a regalia of the order, of which Mr, Lane was a member, among the number were several from Sandy Hill, Glen's Falls andadjoining towns. Two detectives from New York were|since we are glad to learn is recovering in town last week and excited much in-/slowly. quiry as to the business which brought office of Town Collector, we would men- tion that of Joel E. Woodard. Mr. W. is an honorable, upright man, and well | qualified to fill the position he seeks, and l surely among all the rest is not a man more worthy, he being a poor man, and that office being the only one that pays much in town, - We would say give it to the most needy, by all means. Those young lads who attended the party at Joseph Graham's the other evening, should bear in mind that people usually sleep nights. Patten's Mills. Feb. 14. -Abner Vanduson is drawing slate to slate his house and other build- ings. Freeman & Barsaloux® are ready to furnish every one who wishes to pur- chase a pair of those patent hame straps. We think it a good strap, and just what is needed. They are going to slite the Union church at West Fort Ann. They drew the slate last week. The Crawford Brothers are going to repair their house and build a barn in the spring. W. W. Race has gone to Granville to purchase slate. Our wagon maker, FA H. Orcutt, is very busy making heavy wagons for a lumber firm in Sandy Hill. The Rev. Mr. Walkercf Sandy Hill preached here Wednesday and Thursday evenings. They are drawing the old iron and machinery of the old Mount Hope Furn- ace to Sandy Hill, and selling it for old iron. I was once a very flourishing furnace, and it seems a pity it could not have been kept up, as iron ore is so pen- ty in that vicinity. Dresden Center. Feb. 16. -Again our town looks as if a funeral pall had been drawn over it. as the recent thaw has driven the lum- bermen off the streets and the ice is againso poor that very few dare to ven- ture on it. One team got a bath to-day. On Monday night of last week, a bear came out to the residence of one Mr: Noble, and after searching around the house and out buildings, for a cosset lamb, walked along a stone wall and fell off in the snow. - Bsing unsuccessful in his foraging expedition, his bruinship took himself off for parts unknown. Sev- eral old hunters are already for him now so if he shows himself again it will go hard with him. Mr. Samuel Barrett has lost a valuable horse. The horse has lately taken to kicking, probably from the effect of be- ing teased by the boys. On Thursday night while indulging in one of his acro- batic feats, he injured his back from which he died in the morning. Mr. Darius Gregory has sold his farm to Mr. Lewis Holcomb of Hatch Hill, for the sum of $608. Mr. Holcomb takes posession April ist. T. D.

Tom Clemons is wearing a bad looking cheek. He says he was hit by a cake of 1ce-something new for ice to be practing the manly art, yet we would not for a moment entertain the idea that anything else did the damage. E. C. Whittemore was in town Tues day last on his semi-annual tour of school visiting. A party of thirty took a sleigh-ride to Lake George on Thursday evening and stopping at the residence of D. S. Nichols fiv-y were royally entertained by the ''gude\ man. A very pleasant time was enjoyed, although it was very dark, yet they had Eckie for a leader and all went well. George L. Clemons has a young team which they say can step a mile in three minutes, at all events they are a noble pair of horses. Messrs. Olin and Olif Bartholomew, the choppers, have bought the boat C. D. Nichols Jr. price $100. If the boys can navigate as well as they can chop, they are all right. F. H.
