Montrose - On Tuesday evening "The New York Girl" will be the attraction at Village Hall in a two-act musical comedy, headed by Eulalie, a remarkably versatile and exceedingly clever young actress. The comedy is clean, crisp and up-to-date. It is interpreted by Eulalie, whose delicate handling of the title role of "Frolicksome Flo Flyaway" indelibly stamps her as the foremost of the profession; by well known comedians who introduce high class vaudeville and by bright pretty girls in singing and dancing numbers. AND The Farmers' National Bank was organized last Saturday. C. F. Pross, of Scranton, is to be cashier.

South Gibson - Dr. and Mrs. Davis will leave this week for their new home near Wilkesbarre, where he has secured a more lucrative place for his profession.
Harford - Those courageous enough to brave the severe storm Monday evening, were amply repaid by the entertainment given by the Juniata College Quartette; it was one of the finest entertainments ever given in Harford.
Brookdale - On March 7th, Mrs. Mary Travis was married to Mr. Douglass, and will live on her farm. And in Lawsville O. H. Chaffee has moved to California and his wife has moved to Corbettsville to live with her daughter, Mrs. C. A. LaSure.

Heart Lake - L. O. Farrar is putting a new roof on the icehouse, which was broken in by the heavy snow during the winter.
Auburn - P. C. Bushnell sold his entire stock of shoes to parties in Philadelphia. The writer learned of one of the parties that he had been engaged in this business ever since a boy. They go all over and buy old stocks of shoes and other goods and ship them in the southern states and make big sales by advertising shoes at ten cents a pair, which brings out thousands of people from which they realize a fine profit. Mr. B. has painted his storefront red, which means a dead slaughter on old shoes, and that a fine stock of the best and latest fashions will take their place.
Silver Lake - Neil F. Kane has accepted a position in the Susquehanna Erie shop.
Clifford - Douglas Miller, of Lenoxville, who died March 25, was buried the 28th in the Clifford Valley cemetery. Peter Rivenburg, our undertaker, was in attendance, driving on the hearse his nice team of creams. AND Mr. Higgins, representing the Royal Baking Powder Co., was in town last week, furnishing our merchants with several new designs of advertisements. He said that the company intends to furnish our neighboring town, Royal [named for the company], with a new Liberty pole in place of the broken one, and would send one of their new advertising flags in place of the old dilapidated one.
New Milford - Evi DeWitt, whose death occurred on Saturday, was a direct descendant of Tjerck Claeszn DeWitt, who came to this country from Holland in 1638 and settled in Kingston, NY. Moses DeWitt, the grandfather of Evi, was captain of militia and served with distinction in the Minisink war [Revolutionary War] in Orange and Sullivan counties. For his military service he was awarded a grant of land in Wantage, NJ, where he settled. Evi, the subject of this sketch, was born in the township of Montage, Sussex Co., NJ, November 14, 1819. When quite a young man he removed with his family to Brooklyn, Susq. Co. In 1843 he married Annie Elizabeth Wilson at Carbondale. They commenced housekeeping in Brooklyn, where they resided one year, and afterward removed to Nicholson for three years. In 1848 they removed to New Milford upon a farm situated just south of the borough, where Mr. DeWitt has resided since that time.

AND 120,000 pairs of shoes were manufactured at the Lestershire [now Johnson City] and Endicott factories the week ending March 14th, the largest in the world.
