Montrose -The following description of our village was found among the papers of the late Lorenzo Lyons, and is dated March 2nd 1838. "Montrose has a Court House and jail; two school houses, one of which is called the academy; a fire-proof, an engine house, three churches, four taverns, three printing offices, one book store, one drug store, ten other stores, a postoffice, a book bindery, a watch maker's, a hatter's shop, two tin shops, three cabinet makers, three shoemakers, four blacksmiths, two wagon shops, one furnace, two harness and trunk shops, two cooper shops, three tailors, three milliners, four doctors, six lawyers, two Justices of the Peace. It has a total of 210 buildings, 82 of which are dwelling houses, and 90 barns. The population is nearly 1000." The above is certainly interesting and worthy of close attention. We note some industries then existing of which we cannot now boast. Somewhat chagrined to note just as many printing offices then as now. And behold, there were four hotels. Lawyers made a fair showing even in those days. We rejoice over one highly encouraging symptom-the dwelling houses now far outnumber the barns.

Brooklyn - Miss Jennie Weston died March 29, 1902, in the Methodist Episcopal Hospital of Brooklyn, NY, where she graduated as a nurse in March 1898. Everything that skill and loving care could do to prolong her life was done, but the heart condition was too serious and of too long standing to yield more than temporarily to any treatment. She died as she had lived, bright, cheerful and thoughtful to the last of others, rather than self.

Bridgewater Twp. -While coming from Susquehanna yesterday, Herbert Buckley, Joseph Kendrick and Mr. Dondon met with an accident near the residence of Al. Sturdevant.

Mr. Kendrick followed the team on foot as far as Montrose and Fred Ingraham took a rig and went after the team. Mr. Buckley was badly cut about the face. The wagon was badly shattered. The horses escaped with a few marks.
