About 10 years ago Chas. f. Buck, (sor
of Addison Buck, of Pittsford), left his place
of nativity for California with casf
capital of just enough to carry him to the
land of gold-and a good share of thai
fund was borrowed. Recently he reap
peared among us for short visit, with 6
good supply of his hard-earned cash-ot
which he left $1,000 for the purchase o.
Geo. W. Wescott's home place for hii
to work, went to California to lay NJ
something for wet day, and by industry
perseverance, and economy, has succeeded
through his trials and hardships, which
have been severe and hard many times.
A-I--.. M. EuaUu Ison VI Martin Leach
of this town. went to the same golden
country for the same purpose, and he too
by his steady, faithful, and good business
tact, is making and laying up his pile
Such young men deserve something more
than this short notice.
Rev. Ohas. Walker, D, D., many
years heretofore pastor of the Congregati
onal church, has returned from his win.
ter's visit to Binghampton, n. Y, looking
better than the year previous.
Rev. G. III. Townsend is tooccupy the
pulpit of the M. E. Church for another
year. This is his third year with us.
Elijah S. Mead, of West Rutland, has
purchased and moved on to the farm OF
Ell. l.. Brown, near J. NJ. Goodnough.
Price paid $1,750.
-Benjamin Stevens has bought part
of Nathon Fl. Hands farm, known as the
Wheaton farm Price paid $175.00 per
acre.
Samuel S. Nourse is rebuilding his
saw-mill, and the friends of Mr.. Nourse
have very generously assisted him in the
sum of a few hundred dollars by subscrip-
ion to his enterprise.
M. G. Boyoe has gone to Sioux city,
Iowa to engage in the mercantile business.
Success to his undertaking. He is good
fellow We are sorry to loose him, but
DIR. A. M. Caverly has been appointed
by our town to write a history of the
town, and, knowing the man as we do,
shall expect a good work from his labors
in this matter.
Sucker brook has produced very
we'll, and has been literally patronized
this spring, though suckers are bony fish.
The people in Pittsford are thinking
they need Bank of Discount. We hope
they may get one. Much of our towns
business with Banks goes to Brandon, and
such good-natured, pleasant men as
sprague, Copeland and Bottam, as CASH
iers, &c, are not to be found in every
town.
The Grand List for Pittsford last
year was $106,27. Now compare this
with 400; is not Pittsford
too high, or Rutland very much too low !?
Let the Listers in Pittsford and Rutland
look at this, and each do their duty this
spring.
On Friday last, three or four of the
Brandon boys, (old enough to be men) on
their re+"rn from Rutland, feeling extra
Jolly, and probably their eyesight rather
dim, driving their team fast, run into or
on to the team of our respected townsman,
Isaac c. Wheaton. He got out of their
way as far as possible, but they
needed the whole road and more too.
The result was tip-over and smash up of
the nice Brandon carriage, and some dam
age to Mr.. Wheaton's buggy, but no
bones or heads broken; SO you see justice
did not take place in this case.
HASTE.
