A BOOSTERS Affection for a Dou.
Rochester Union. l7th1

lho'hc-t'r mon, Eth.
Last Thursday evening several
gentlemen, some of them from Ro
chester, were entertained with the
actions OF IA rooster and dog at the
Newman House, in Avon. owned bv
Mr. Newman. The rooster is known
10y the name Of Dick, TO which he
responds very readily when called
ny his owner. The dogs name is
Sandy. He is a mongrel, with con.
siderable OF the terrier in him. and
endowed with more than usnal in.
teiiigenee. 1t seems that when tho
rooster, Dick, was a very vouno
chicken he took to the dog, SANDY
who returned the affection warmly
and cared for the fowl with all the
tenderness possible. Since then
they have been constant associates
and playmates. Sandy allows Dick
to perch on his back, while he lies
stretched between two chairs. and
the rooster succeeds in sticking on
while the dog leaps from one chair
70 another.

representative of the American Tool
and Machine Co., is in town looking
over the water power and other facili-
ties for manufacturing which this place
affords. He has examined both the
site near the depot and the Buzzell
property. He likes both locations, and
expresses himself as much pleased with
the character of our town and its work
men. This company is new one, just
formed with plenty of capital, and as
we understand it, they propose to To-
cate in some country place and manu-
facture the patent wrench and other
tools. If they should buy the Buzzell
property they will put in machinery
and go right to work in the old shops,
and then put up new shops the opposite
side of the track.

struck by lightning last Thursday at
ternoon, about o'clock. 1t struck the
chimney about two feet above the roof,
passed down and tore a hole in the
chimney just below the roof as large as
pint basin, breaking the brick into
small atoms, passing then into the
chamber, it threw stove out OF posi-
ton, knocked the covers off the stove,
ripped the zinc from under it and filled
the room with dust; then passed down
into the sitting room, and cut up much
the same antics there, besides tearing
up a portion of the floor, and passed
out under water tub in the shed kitch-
en-. Mr.. Underwood and family, con-
sisting of wife and three children, were
in the house. Mr.. U. and wife and baby
were in a bedroom opening out of the
sitting room, and boy about 16 years
old and little girl were in the kitchen
which also opens out of sitting room
and all were considerably shocked, bu
none seriously injured. They were al
thoroughly frightened, and have not thu
least desire to have the call repeated.

ing town treasurer of Barnet. The sniff
was brought to recover $1,000, which
Abbott had failed to render a satisfac-
tory account for. The defence was that
the pond was not sealed when signed
oy the defendants. The supreme court
sustained the position taken by the de-
PENDANTS, and rendered a final iude-
ment for them to recover their costs.
The town of Barnet has had some 23
lawsuits during the past 25 years, and,
as yet, has failed to win a single case.
There are two important errors in the
above paragraph. The decision of the
Supreme Court was not based on the
ground that the bond was not sealed
but that the alleged embezzlement was
the year before these gentlemen were
bondsmen-as printed in the Caledonian
last week. As to the town of Barnet
failing to win a single case in law the
past 25 years, she won case at this
very term of court, and at least half
dozen in the last ten years.

FAMILY AFFLICTION.-There have
been sad cases of sickness and death
in the family of Albert La Valley of
Caledonia street. jerome, a ten months
old child, died Monday morning, the
18th inst, after only two or three days
sickness, of black canker-rash. Willie,
aged z years, was taken sick Monday,
and died Thursday. Albert, 8 years
old, was taken about the same time as
Willie, and died on Friday. This is a
ch::family, the father working for
the Granite company, but we know
nothing of their habits or internal sur
rOundings. We know the immediate
neighbOrhOod has neat and caref,,I peo-
pie, but what causes this sad fatality j,
beyond our comprehension.

Another of T. T. Herrick's little boys

so as to cause any alarm to the family.
Mrs. Orange Harvey is in quite feeble
health yet. The shock she received
