[By our own Reporter.] A;.MiliLroo£: I tem s . fiBunaways are becoming of frequent oc- iiurrence Yesterday the horse of John Hammond, attached to a milk wagon, took fright at the cars, and becoming un- KfJlknageable ran away, Yery little dam- done. Tuesday morning Charles Yarney, the expressman, backed his wag on up to the freight house and left his feorse standing for a moment while he -went inside to get some freight. In the .interval the horse took it upon himself to off, and finding himself without a driver siarled into a run. He succeeded V in turniing the wagon over and broke it -^uite badly. Henry Idhaw, the proprietor of the new ■ iiivery stable now building, has purchased - ten■‘noe booking horses for his business. He is slab.ing them at present at Thorn- '^ile; He hopes to get them in his stable within a week. He has also been out in ^hecentral part of the stale and purchased .^jstock of carriages. Rev. N. L. Heroy, of the Hare M. ■t\K Oh-arch, has not been able to fill his pulpit sioce Conference. He went toToi- ..tenville, Staten Island, to visit .relatives wliile aiteuding Conference, and was taken sick mere. He returned to his home few days since very weak and feeble, but is improving now nicely and hopes ■very soon to take up his work again, •-which has been looked after so nicely by • fifs father, the Rev.

The body of Jeremiah Bridge has not yet been recovered. There is 70 feet of water where he was drowned, and the men who worked all Sunday and Monday dredging for the remains of the unfortu nate man were obliged at last to give up their attempts, as^tbey had not the ade quate means at hand to successfully per form the sad duty which they had under- The bicycle race on Decoration Day ia now an assured fact. There are about fifty high grade wheels owned in Wappingers Falls and immediate vicinity, and it would have been strange indeed if out of that -number a few riders could not have been found to pick up the gauntleti which the Poughkeepsie wheel men threw down. Prominent among those who will compete from the Falls is Daniel L. Walker,- who rides a light road ster. He has been viewing the scenery of this and adjacent counties, from the sad dle of hts silent steed, for the last seven years, and if he does not win first or second-prize will make It interesiilng for those who do, Mr, Edward Oashin, who rides a veloce, has also entered. Mr. Cashin only learned this season, but as he climbed Van Wyck’s hill, near New Ham burgh, within three days after receiving his machine he may perhaps be said to have a naturaLaptitude for the sport that, in spite of his inexperience, will make him a livley competitor for one of the three prizes offered. Both gentlemen are, of course, practising over the course, al though they do not seem to care to men tion what time they are doipg it in. Mean while every day or two some Poughkeep sie wheelman appears in sight approach ing Mesiir’a square, rounds it as a comet does the sun, and then shooting back over the path he came, disappears from view, his orbit necessarily taking him right un der the windows of the wheel club,, where he generally discovers one or more of the Wappingers boys trying to calculate bis speed and slaying powers as he climbs or descends Main Street hill. The family of Mr. Charles Schmidt has moved back to Wappingers Palls. They are occupying a house in Mill St. The members of St, Anthony’s Guild will give an entertainment on Tuesday evening next in Zion parish building, con sisting of a play entitled “The Lost Child.” A number of musical selections will also be rendered.

Ache- son; Secretary, Mr. Edward Wood; Re cording Secretary, Miss Ella McGibbon. A number of committees were appointed, covering almost every, field of church work. Word was received on Thursday that Styles Curtis had died of dropsy in Seneca Fails, N. T., and would be buried in the Masonic lot at that place on Sunday after noon at two o’clock. Mr. Curtis was about seventy years of age, and came to the Falls from Danbury, Ct., thirty-five years ago. He had originally been a hat ter, but worked as a comb maker for % while after coming there. Then he be came coachman for Mr. Mangham, and afterwards drove a stage Lfor Henry Cole. Subsequently he settled down as a barber, being the only tonsorial artist in the place for a number of years. About three years ago he closed his establishment in Mill street, and removed to the western part of the State, where he remained up to his death. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge of Wappingers Fails. The Monitors will play the Whittlers of Newburgh at Monitor Park, Wappingers Palls, on Saturday afternoon, and the Allertons of New York on the same grounds on the afternoon of Decoration Day. __ _________ BURGLABS SHOT AT. Bzouemeztt i^t Kabbottaville. At a late hour Monday night a clerk in L. M. Huogerford’s store at Mabbettsville was awakened by a noise at the door of the store as though some one was endeav oring to break In. He quietly got out of his bed, snd in the meantime the noise increased and sounded as though an effort was being made to force the lock. He seized a gun and yelled, “ Who’s there?’ Then he heard at least two men drop some tools and run. He hastened to the door and opened it and saw retreating forms. He aimed and fired, but it was evident the burglars, for such they were, escaped unhurt. By the door were found several tools stolen from the blacksmith shop in the village. As soon as possible the clerk gave the alarm.and all night and during Tuesday members of the anti- horse thief society were in pursuit of .the villains. •A. C o r iflaonco G^azae S p o i l e d , The Fishkill Jourhal says that the light ning rod game has been tried on Mr. Fred. C. Haight, proprietor of the Stevens farm, a short distance from Fishkill Vil lage. A few days ago, a couple of well- dressed and smooth-talking strangers ap peared at Mr. Haight’s place, and after some general conversation, informed him that they were the advance agents of the “Eagle Positive Lightning Rod Com pany,” and as they were desirous of ad vertising their wares, they would place their rods upon all of his buildings for a nominal sum. The proposition seemed fair, and after some further talk, Mr. Haight signed a contract to that effect. They left soon after, and something in their manner aroused Mr. Haight’s sus picion that all was not right, and when reading his contract the second tinde, he found he had .bound himself to pay an amount many times more than the sum called for in the agreement. Mr. Haight lost no time in seeking legal’ advice, and the best course of action to pursue. Bright and early the following morning three men arrived at the farm with a truck load of lightning rods and an- nounced they would commence operations forthwith. But Mr. Haight was equal to the exigencies of the case, and hastily summoned some of his neighbors as wit nesses, he ordered them from the prem ises in quite forcible language. After a war of words, the gentlemen connected with the “ Eagle Positive Lightning Rod Co.” deemed discretion the better part of valor, and decamped. It may be of in terest to know that they had a bill of |506 all made out, and for which they demand ed payment in full. H o rse T h ief A r rested. On Sunday night last a brown horse and wagon was stolen from Mr. Charles Allay at Arthursburgh. The fact of the theft was placed In the hands of Chief of Police Ryrnes, of this city, who sent out a large number of postal cards, including one to Wm. Buckley, constable at Amenia. On Tuesday,|ten minutes before Mr. Buckley got the postal card, the thief with the stolen property drove into Amenia, and ten minutes after the constable got the card the thief was under arrest. Offiieer Buckley took his prisoner, whose name is Truman Swarthout, before a justice, who committed him to the county jail to await the action of the grand jury. On the way here the offi cer delivered over the stolen property to Mr. Alley, receiving a reward of |35. Then he proceeded to Poughkeepsie, and the prisoner was delivered over to Jailor Sleight, and locked up. Swarthout says he took the horse and wagon for a ride, but staid away longer than he expected and was afraid to go back to Mr. Alley’s with the property, He looks and acts like a half-witted per son. The prompt arrest speaks well for all concerned. Dog W orili More than a Turhey The question as to whether a farmer’s turkles are worth more than a sportsman’s dog came before a Millbrook justice last Saturday, The case was,entitled “‘Theron Sherow agst. Patrick Simmons.” The evi dence showed that the dog was a mile two from home without his master; that heS was chasing the defendant’s turkeys and had one of the best of them down when defendant shot him. Plaintiff claimed $75 and was allowed $10. The feeling was so great against thei verdict that friends of Mr. Simmons are contri buting to help pay the $10. J. H. Lant has finished the canvass fer the new city directory. Gftttglitm ftStore. Late Tuesday night a man named George Gage was caught in a store at Amenfa after it had been locked up for the night. He had about $30 worth of goods packed up ready to take them away. He was arrested and brought to this city on Wednesday, and lodged in jail, to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of grand larceny. Daatli at Pleasant Valley. Mr. Oliver Y. Haviland, an old and re spected citizen of Pleasant Valley, died in that village on Wednesday, aged about 70 years. By trade he was a harness maker, at which he had worked upwards of forty years. He was well and favorably known, and many friends in Pleasant Valley, and the community generally, regret his death.

Oar correspondent at Millbrook gives further particulars of the supposed bur glary at L. Huagerford’s store at Mab^ bettsvilie on Monday night. He says: The store of L. H. Hungerford, of Mab- bettsville, was entered by a burglar Mon day ni^ht and robbed of the contents of- the money drawer. The clerk, who occu pies room§ with his family over the store,, heard a noise, and supposing it was Mr, Hungerford (who had been away), he went to the stove-pipe which passes from the store through his rooms, and called to him, but received no answer, but heard some one unbolting the back door. He immediately raised a window and fired, but the burglar escaped. The amount of money taken is not known, as the cash was not counted Monday even ing. It was the first time they had left it in the till over night, which fact must laaye been known by some one familiar with the place. Entrance was effected by prying open one of the front shutters. A Fictitious Name. The person who appropriated Mr. Charles Alley's horse and buggy at Ar- thuraburgh, Sunday night, gave his name as Truman Swarthout. But it has since been ascertained to be Truman Richmond. He has worn the fictitious name for some Said to be Out. We understand that the first number of the'new Rhinebeck paper, the News, was issued last Saturday. It is said to be filled with local news. On Sunday two inen, one from Brook lyn and another from New York, got board a- small steamer at Saugerties which plies between that place and Kingston. The boat landed at Van Cofcten’s dock, opposite Barrytown, where the two men got off. They were intoxicated, and got into trouble right away with some parties on the dock. A fight ensued at once, knives being drawn, and the two men were nearly fci-lJed. One had seven scalp wounds,.and'the other was slashed with a knife on the side of the head and face, on the back of the head and on the arm. The two appeared some time after at Tiv oli with their faces covered with blood and their elolhing saturated with blood. They were tak^n across the river on the ferryboat to Saugerties, where their wounds were dressed. No one at Tivoli could find out their names. They told their story to Officer Maloy, who helped them on the ferryboat, but they would-not give him their names. ARTHUR Y.
