Montrose – Miss Blackman writes us, from Florida, that it is a mistake that "Montrose will soon pass her hundredth milestone as a borough" as was recently stated in this paper. Miss Blackman says that Montrose was not incorporated as a borough until March 29th, 1824, but that the first settler within its present limits [Capt. B. Hinds] came here in May, 1800, went back to Long Island the following fall and brought his family in 1801. Thus it wi11 be seen that we can not celebrate the centennial of the settlement of our village until four years hence.

Instantly there was an explosion and Mrs. Aldrich's dress was ignited, as was also the clothing of a child nearby and a tablecloth was partially burned up. The flames were with difficulty extinguished. The left side of Mrs. Aldrich's face was burned to a blister and her hair considerably singed, but aside from this she escaped injury.

Forest Lake Centre – The cold weather of the 20th and 21st carried us back 40 years, the snow then being so deep the 21sl of April, 1857, that the snow had to be shoveled on the roofs of some of the houses at Birchardville for fear of their breaking in.

Springville – C.A. Hungerford & Co.'s team was hauling egg crates from the Depot, Monday, and when coining down the hill the load capsized, carrying the driver, J.F. Johnson, forward under the wagon frightening the team, causing them to run. When trying to turn post office corner they nearly ran into S. Riley's store, both falling, when they struck M. Riley's fence at the hitching post. Neither horse was hurt, but the wagon ran over Johnson's body, bruising him quite badly so that he is unable to be around.

Should the tree be killed the fine is to be $25.
