James Beecher ofPoughneep- sie, brother of Henry Ward Beecher has purchased 168 acres of land in the neighborhood of Shin Creek and has commenced the erection of a palatial residence on his newly ec- quired property. We understand that it is the intention of this gentleman to cultivate a farm that will out rival Henry Ward's cele brated Peekskill property. A thirteen year old boy living near Black Lake recently killed two deer in one day. A catamount was recently killed near Briscoe measuring four feet and eight inches in length. The animal had long infested the jungles of that neighborhood. 80 Y e a r s A g o ■James Wilson of Egypt purchased 15 sheep at the sale of Ira Clute.

Now how did that come about? On Monday last the eels in the raceway of the mill of B. G. Wales at Pike Pond were so plentiful as to completely shut off the water from the water wheel and the mill shut down that day. Peter Weissman of Callicoon raised rutabagas, two of which weigh ed ninteen pounds, thus exceeding those left at the office by Dr. Brand by three pounds. Frank 'Laufersweiler will remain in Jeffersonville to look after the soles of the people. He knows how. \ 70 Y e a r s A g o The evaporator at North Branch is now in motion.

Last Monday night his neck was broken by a fall from his wagon while he was returning home from Callicoon Depot where he had taken a load of apples. The aoci- dent occurred Monday night about 8 o’clock., near the four comers a- ibove the village reservoir where he was discovered by Melvin and Frank, sons of Joseph Hemmer, who were driving home from the village about 8:30., when they came upon the Lawrence team and lumber wagon standing across the road at a sluice, Lawrence was lying on his back un der the left fore wheel. Complete returns from Sullivan County show the election of ten Democrats and five Republicans. The Town of Lumberland elected H. V. Allington, Republican. This is the first time the Democrats have controlled the board in nine years. Thomas Tremper of Youngsville, who was blown up by a dynamite explosion a couple years ago, is un der treatment by Dr. MacDonald for the recovery of his eyesight. Mrs. E .Osterhout sold her store property at that place to Edward C. Neiger. This is the old Wales store built many years ago, when Pike Pond was a settlement and the tan nery was in /bloom. It was in the Wales family until the late A. E. Osterhout, formerly of ’Hortonville, purchased it fifteen years ago. Arthur J. Osterhout retires from the management of the store and takes over charge of the mill that his father bought with the store. The gristmill property at Youngs ville of the late Charles Himmelreich was sold Saturday by his mother, Mrs. Schwab to Louis Manny for $6000. 5 0 Y e a r s A g o The jubilant citizens of Callicoon Center held a torch light parade Wednesday night of last week to celebrate the election of their towns men, Ross Baldwin. Rep., and Wm. H. Knemm, Dem., the former for supervisor and the latter for high way superintendent. Otto Reinshagen of Bethel and Cora M. Welton of the town of Liberty were married by Rev. J. K. -Stadelmann at the Presbyterian par sonage in JeJffersonville last night. As stated in last week’s Record Mr. Baldwin is the first Republican supervisor elected in this town in 42 years. Frank J., the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Royce, died of in-1 testinal tuberculosis at. his -home in this village at ten o’clock Sunday morning in his 30th year. Another one of the hearty old German settlers on the North Branch passed away last Thursday, when John Knack died at his home near Hortonville at the age of 86 years. Henry L. Maux of New York, formerly a butcher at Callicoon re cently spent a week at Callicoon and returned to the city with a suit case full of rabbits. When he got off the train at Jersey City, he was arrested for having seven rabbits in his possession before the Jersey sea son opened.. He was fined $100. Maus consulted a lawyer who told him he -had a perfect right to have the rabbits. Maus will fight the case. An officer making a game law arrest in Jersey receives one half of the fine. It is not known just how much the justice gets out of it. 4 0 Y e a r s A g o The Kenoza Lake Hotel at Ken- oza Lake, owned by Jacob Silber- berg, his wife Rose, and Vasil Svirsk, was burned at midnight last night, together with all the contents, ex cepting a cigar case and cash register which were saved from the barroom.

The town of Fremont turned a trick by electing Jacob Brustman, Democrat, over Albert Holcomb, the Republican standby. His plurality was nothing to brag of—only 3. Roy C. Johnston, Dem., was e- lected county clerk over George D. Pelton by 1213. Johnston carried his home town Rockland, by over 500 and .Pelton’s home town Thomp son, by over 50. The large new bam of C. D. Fort- nam at Tyler Hill, Pa., was burned Sunday evening. -Mr. and Mrs. Fort- nam were awity -from home at the time. This is the second time the Fort nams have burned in a year. Last winter the bams were burned to gether with several pedigreed cattle. The bams burned last winter were rebuilt last summer. This makes four disastrous fires Mr. ‘Fortnam has had on his prem ises in twelve years, one of them (being the large farmhouse built by David Fortnam, grandfather of the present owner.

The Watchman seems as young and live- y as ever and can be expected to jg with us for a good many more years. The Record delights in the know ledge that is is the second child of Sullivan County's newspapers, but there was quite an interval between the first two children. The third, however, followed the second closely and was named Register and locat ed in Liberty. The Record and the Register were by the same father, Capt. Wm. T. Morgans, a Youngs ville boy of exceptional talent. Mor gans later became well known in the printing world for his invention of a new type press.
