Mrs. Geo. Dean has been dangerously
i'll for some time past.
The Literary Club will meet with Mrs.
F. W. Baldwin Wednesday evening.
If it was safe to praise the weather at
this season of the year, we should speak
of the mild, pleasant days of the past
week.
Miss Wright of So. Albany, who was
working in \. R. Cowles' music store, was
Obliged to return home on account of
sickness.
The ladies of the NJ. E. society will
furnish dinners at Mr.. Pages dining
rooms, Cup stairs), town meeting day for
% cents each.
Many friends in this place learned of
the sudden death of Matte Clark of GLOW
er with sadness, and several attended her
funeral Sunday afternoon.
If Mrs. Jondro returns and sets up
shop here again, we suggest that those
jurymen who considered her innocent of
crimes alleged, be the first to visit her.
Ir there are any friends of John Hun
toon, recently of Sacramento, Cal, who
can give US his present address, they
will confer favor on an interested party.
Many of the ''good" people of the viii
lage attended court at Newport last
week. There were many more who ex-
pected to be called, but they escaped
confession.
Among those who have recently been
kindly remembered by the pension de-
partment, are Mrs. Allen c. Abbott, Albany;
AlOnzo c. Farmer, E. Burke; Napoleon
Root, Westfield; Chas w. Conley, St.
Johnsbury and w. II. Wiley, Newport.
Chas. F. Mathewson has recently ac-
cepted position as law partner in the
firm of Root & Strong, New York. The
firm is composed of eminent lawyers,
Mr.. Root having been U. S. attorney,
Mr.. Strong of such standing that only
his republicanism prevents his selection
as Judge of the supreme court of the
state. Mr.. Mathewson is in good COM
pany and no young man would be liable
to better I'LL the position of junior part
ner.
Sanford May was taken i'll the last of
last week with lung trouble, and when
the physician, DR.. r. b. Skinner, was
called, he found him in a very danger
GUS condition, probably beyond hope.
He had hard case of pneumonia and
ran down till Wednesday forenoon, when
he died. Mr.. May was genial, we'll
disposed citizen and his loss will be
great to his family. He leaves a wife
and seven children. The funeral was
held on Friday.
The failure of agreement by the jury in
the case of the state against Mrs. Jondro
at Newport on Friday, was a great sur
prise to nearly every one who heard the
trial, and causes Indignation among all
respectable people who are conversant
with the case. 1t is surprising that in
"A county of good morals men can be found
who do not consider fornication, adultery
hnd the keeping of house open to, and
frequented by, the worst characters of
both sexes. a crime.
The report that Collector Page is going
10 enforce an old law relative to the cir
rulation of foreign currency, including of
touIse, Canada bills and specie, need ere
bite no scare. If government has allowed
bn obscure and obsolete section of the
aw to 90 without enforcement the last
ZEN years, there is no doubt but that some
pleasure bill be taken To prevent innocent
Ind unsuspecting parties suffering great
osS. The law, as it is interpreted makes
t incumbent on parties who have dispos-
Ed of Canada currency to pay a tax to
government OF ten per cent on such mon
~. The strict enforcement of the law
lnder this Interpretation would ruin
many banks on the Canada border, and
all heavily on hundreds of parties all
he way from Maine TO Dakota. Nobody
pas committed a crime, and nobody has
|uhered any Inconvenience or harm, so it
will be a very unreasonable thing to ex-
beet government will spring an old law,
Which it has not sought to enforce upon
he people Keep cool! Don't be scared
you have a few dollars in Canada mon
BY. In due time the excitement will be
ver and the Dominion bills and currency
ban be worked off without loss to
he parties holding the stuff. OF course
Canada it is as good a gold
S=tE-tOn landing.
