drowned in Rock River at that place, on I
Sunday morning of last week He pushed
out in to the river just above the bridge, on
a fragile raft, which parted and got away
from him. His loud calls for help speedily
attracted notice aud in less than minute
dozen or more men were at hand and used
their utmost endeavors to rescue The unfor-
tunate adventurer from his perilous situa-
ton He did not seem to lose his presence
recommended in such cases, throwing him.

YOU'VE MAN MISSING. "A young
named William Torpey, residing with his
mother sister and brother. in the town Of
Milford about miles south Of this city,
went on a visit to his aunt, living at New
Loudon, Conn, some six weeks ago For
few months previous he had been com
planning of izziness in the he ad and pains
about his temples, and was in hopes that q
change of climate would improve his con-
dition. A few days ago his family received
a letter directed 10 him, written by his
aunt, with whom he visited, in which was
expressed hope that he was much better,
From this tester it is inferred that he must
have left New London for home some two
weeks ago. and having no place to visit on
his way, his non arrival necessarily alarms
his family In last weeks paper we pub
lshed short paragraph taken from one
of our exchanges, st. ting that a man evil
dently deranged, jumped from the Chicago
train as it neared GAINESVILLE. Els life was
saved by one who saw his design, but he
escaped, leaving people to wonder who he
was This incident occurring about the
time young Torpey should have arrived
home. his family have strong reasons for
| believing ttat the person referred to was
him. II certainly does not seem improba-
BILE that young Torpey may have becoms
dangerously deranged by the fatigue of
the journey and took this method of des
troying himself, but what has become of him
i s still mystery, and his family are cen
sequently in 4 state of great distress about
him.
William Torpey is about 5 feet inches
| high, thick set, weighs about $50 Tbs, light
complexion, brown hair, blue eyes. and
wore light mouStache. He was young
man of good habits, and highly respected
BY all who knew him. ANY information
as to his whereabouts will be gladly re-

sake of his family and friends, we hope he
may vet turn up safe ard sound.

 The proprietor is a wise, enterprising gentlemen and advertises as literally as he caters to the public, which supercedes de tailed local attention.

 James Silvery of Mattewan, formerly . workman on the Duchess and Columbia railroad, was run over and instantly killed by the night express train going north, between this station and Mt Riga scvering his heed and one of his limbs from his body. He presented a very ghastly spec tacle. It is rumored he chad considerable money on his person during the day, and it is thought he might have met with some villainous person or persons. and been killed and robbed and then placed on the track to cover all suspicion. The engin- eer on the train did not know anthing had occurred. He was found next morning by the down express and brought to this vil- lage. His remains were taken to Mattewan, his former residence. for interment. Last Monday the authorities of this place ar rested James Conlin. P. Kenney, F. Mor- an, S. Stillman, J. Rhinchan. and two others not known. for selling spirituous liquors without license, and started with them en route for Po'keepsie. 1 think it may prove highly beneficial to this village, to close at least one half that have been selling, as there are enough licensed places, to fully supply the demand.

In justice to the Salisbury club, it is proper to say that but one outside man played that day with them, and he was accepted to fill the place of one of their men who was sick. should advise that chap to get him better pair of leather goggles, through which he could see more accurately, and at the same time that would enable him to see that on the 4th of July, the Red Stars had an outside man to play with them against our club, and for which, we didn't think it advisable to set up howl.

 The engine Falls Village with one car attached passed through this place Tues day afternoon with number of persons aboard. Among the many faces, I met the eye of friend Pcase on the engine, and he must have been in quest of news, but if he succeeds in finding any in this place, l hope he will inform his correspondent Some said it must have been kind of an excursion, but thought it must have been rather hard one on account of the many fences they had to let down and put up every half mile.....I have been informed number of persons are under arrest in Mllerton for selling spurious liquors. l think the officers might find plenty of busi, ness by visiting this place, as there are more here than is absolutely necessary, and if dozen or SO were ''cleaned out" our more quiet citizens would probably make no objections, and it would be we'll to let those that are selling know the laws in this state are equally as rigid, if put in force as in New York for the sale of ''the crater.

 I think it not only foolish, but cowardly for man to carelessly flourish pistol or revolver, when he thinks by SO doing he can perhaps frighteu somebody. A young chap in our village some days since, after returning from a neighboring village some what intoxicated, undertook to buster around his brother, flourishing q revolver in manner that was anything but pleas ant and to add interest to the matter fired it off, without perhaps designing to injure anybody. The ball passed through the muscle between the thumb and first finger of the hand of his brother, and although the wound is not of very serious charac- ter, it nevertheless will leave a mark that in after years may not be pleasant to carry as a souvenir of his brothers kindness. ... ... Mir. John P. McNeil a few days ago lost q valuable new milk COW. He is now milk ing 20 cows, and sends the milk to New York. MT.
