FIRST FORK.

At meeting of friends to help Dr. ID. ID. Col
cord celebrate his S3d birthday on Saturday last,
there were seven persons whose united ages ag-
gregated over 500 years, and three whose years
footed up over $50. The names of those who are
between 80 and 80 years as follows: Hon.
SOL Ross, of Wharton, and DR.. Colcord and un-
Gle Hugh Caldwell, the oldest man in this part of
the county. After dinner and a social time they
all dispersed for their several homes wishing the
host many returns ofthe happy day.
Brooks mill has been running night and day
owing to the over abundant orders for lumber
and shingles.
10 spafford was here two or three days last
week looking after his lumber interests. I'D
Stanton and Walter suank took the job of saw
ing the timber into logs, and began the contract
this morning.
Owing to the inclement weather Saturday eve
ming there a small turnout at the ice cream
social at this place, for the Rev. Simpson, and
only a little over 900 was netted.
The heavy freeze of the 22d and 23d beats the
record for this section of the country, alth ough
DIR. Colcord recollects one time, good many
years ago, in Potter county, when there was a
freeze equal to it on the 18th of September. 1t
will be no use to go north to look for the frigid
zone, as it will be only matter of few years
when we will be using the north "pole" at our
4th ofJuly celebrations for the boys to climb.
Geo. Mahon has been down and threshed this
part of the country, and gone back to Potter with
his machine. The farmers are doing their best
TO save something out of the wreck OF corn and
buckwheat damaged by the freeze.
NJ. Blodgett, of Sinnama ah oning, was up on his
