item in which it says: "Seth Aus
tin, for a very long time a leading
member of the Orange County Bar,
and al influential citizen of Brad
ford, represented Tunbridge in the
Legislature in 1888, -'S9, 100 and 81"

not born until the year 1900. A
son of his, Mr.. John Austin, is our
authority, for the date. 1t is pos
sible that the Argus is simply mis-.
taken as to dates; but more prob
able that it entirely mistakes as to
Mr.. Seth Austin representing the
town Of Tunbridge.

toward Robinson, and he, being be-
tween two buildings could not
dodge, but whirled around and ran
for the road, some FIVE rods distant,
and kept about too feet ahead of the
timber till he got into the road and
then lodged and let it 60 by. Ned
says if the Charlie had not run like
a deer he would have got killed
