Hop Bottom- The post office was broken into one night last week, but the thieves were scared away by Mrs. Fasset, the postmistress, it is reported, firing three shots from a revolver at them. Probably that office will not be disturbed again.

Gulf Summit - Mrs. Bowen had a lively experience the other day. She went out to the barn to investigate a turkey's nest, which the hen bird had suddenly and vociferously left. The nest was so situated that she could not see the eggs, and she relied entirely upon the sense of feeling in determining whether the eggs were alright. As she groped around the nest with her hand she touched an object which she instantly knew was a snake. She quickly withdrew her hand and poked around in the nest with a stick until a rattlesnake, 4 ft. long, slowly crawled out and repeatedly struck its fangs into the stick. Mrs. Bowen stood her ground, and killed the rattler with repeated blows of the stick.

Glenwood - The old inhabitants of Glenwood have all passed away with the exceptions of Hon. Galusha A. Grow and C.W. Conrad, Esq. Among those who lived here at that time were F.P. AND Edwin Grow, Mark and Wm. Hartley, Potter Pickering, A.F. Snover, L.M. Hardy, Jebiel Wickwire and Alien McDonalds, all of whom lived to be over 70 years of age. There are a few descendants of these old settlers living here at the present time. One little incident which will be recalled, happened in the Spring of 1862, when it became generally known that Potter Pickering, who lived in a small house where the Grow mansion now stands, has been stricken down by smallpox. Vaccination was then the next thing in order and D.N. Hardy, who was at that time a boy of 16 or 17, was the one appointed to vaccinate all who wished, which he did with great success. Fortunately the disease did not spread, and no more cases were reported although L.M. Hardy, assisted by James Conrad, waited on and cared for the sick until death relieved him of his sufferings. He was then taken in the night by four men who worked for Eaton and Co., at Upper Glenwood, across what is know as Grow's millpond, and buried where he now sleeps the sleep that knows no waking.
