St. Joseph - The death of Thomas Dow occurred on Saturday, April 4, '08, at the home of a niece at Snow Hollow, with whom he had resided since the death of his wife. Mr. Dow, who was born in Ireland 82 years ago, was among the first Irish settlers in Susquehanna county, and experienced all the privations and inconveniences incident of the early days. He took up a tract of land on the brow of the hill overlooking the vale of St. Joseph, and converted it into a very desirable place to live. As a farmer he was successful, as a man he was honorable in his every dealing. The funeral was held from the church at St. Joseph. At the close of the service the remains were carried from the church to the cemetery by Matthew Griffin, John Mahoney, Cornelius McInerny, Thomas Buckley, Patrick Carney and John McNinney.

Clifford - Some excitement was caused here last Friday afternoon by Mr. E. G. Greene's horses running away. He had driven them in the field and left them standing while he crossed the creek to cut a binding pole. The wind was blowing very cold and they started running, ran to the barn and nearly stopped, but started again, ran through town, turned the corner all right, then ran to W. E. Lott's place where they ran into a telephone pole, breaking the neck-yoke, tongue and whiffletree, but stopping the horses as one was each side of the telephone pole. Fortunately the horses were unhurt and the men soon had [them] under control. Several ladies followed in the wake, just what part they expected to take in the fracas was hard to understand. Prospective Representative B. F. Jones was among the rescuing party to see what deed of valor he might do to win favor among some of the Clifford voters.

Montrose - When Treasurer N. R. Jones moved here from Rushville a couple of years ago, he brought among other things a luxuriant orange tree. The stenographers and lady attorneys in their visits to his office in the court house "jollied" Mr. Jones considerably about its failure to blossom, etc. Finally in desperation he agreed to furnish all of the young ladies connected with the courthouse with orange blossoms when they ventured on the matrimonial sea. None have qualified as yet, and as the tree is in full bloom now, Mr. Jones desires some of these young ladies' young men to get busy or else free him from his obligation. As this is leap year it may yet be necessary for him to trim off some of the branches.
