The Bloomfield times. [volume] (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1867-187?, 1873-12-02
For the Bloomfield Times.
REMOVE, Clinton County, Pa,

November Goth, 1878.
Mr.. Edtor.-Seeing no communication from
your regular correspondent, from this part of
the State for some time, thought / might as
well employ part of my time in noting some of
the doings here, which some of your many
readers may, perhaps, read with interest.
The usual humdrum of machinery, the ham
merng Of boiler makers, blacksmiths and the
usual noise generally heard at Remove Shops,
have somewhat subsidized since the money pam
ic, for no less than two suspensions have taken
place at the P. & e. r. Il. shops since July
last. Not more than one third of the usual
number of men are at present at work and no
more work is done but that which is necessary
for the movement of the freight and passengers.
Merchants, contractors, and in fact all kind
of business men complain of the scarcity of
money and general dullness never before felt
here. Trade on the X. R., is somewhat slack,
and we presume from the same cause. The
Remove Water Works are nearly completed,
and when done we presume that Remove will
be well supplied with good and wholesome
water for it is brought right out from strong,
fresh stream from between two large mount
aims, south of the river, and whose towering
sides are well timbered. Last night, about
O'Clock, as the engine which brought the mail
train east, was backing from front passenger
track to be taken to the Round House, it struck
Cor rather backed over) three men who were
walking on the track, killing them instantly
extent, that they could not be identified. A
fourth person who was with the unfortunate
man escaped entirely, and but for him the
homes and names of those killed could not have
been ascertained. Two of the killed lived at or
near Hyner's Run, some distance east, and the
third lived at Drury's Run, short distance
above or west of Remove. All were Swedes by
birth.
Parties are out in different parts of the coun-
ty hunting down the bears, which are said to
infest the mountains of Clinton county. Some
six or seven have already been captured or
dropped before the unerring rifle of the back
woodsman.
Deer seem to be plenty in this county, to
Judge from the number reported to have been
killed in the different mountains; yet they are
of wilder nature than the game usually cap
tured by the huntsmen of Bloomfield, at least
wilder than the turkeys that the TIMES report
ed killed by certain doctor.
Passenger trains on the 2. 81 E. r. r. run
through from Harrisburg to Remove, without
change of engine.
The town, Remove, is being rapidly built up
and some of the main avenues are adorned
with structures that would do credit to some
of our larger cities. The Remove Hotel Is an
ornament in itself, built OF brick, three stories
high with q Mansard Roof, and standing in
the centre of at least two acre lot, beautifully
laid out with walks, along the side Of which
are planted trees and strawberries of every de-
scriptlon. Here may also be seen trout ponds,
filed with the speckled tribe from size not larg
er than your finger up to the four and five
pound beauty. Yours, &C.,
Remove, Nov. 20, 1878.
