Uniondale – A warm sugar social was held at the home of Mrs. Nelson Crandall.  A large number of people attended and were all very much pleased with the sugar.  Cake and pickles were served with the sugar. ALSO  Uniondale has a grade crossing.  She does not like it.  A correspondent in an exchange says: Evan Williams drove his horse on the railroad track at Westgate’s crossing Sunday morning.  He saw an approaching train and tried to back the horse off the track.  The animal became frightened and quickly turning threw Mr. Williams violently to the ground, dragging him some distance.  He came out of the mix-up without injury, strange as it may seem.  It is nearing two years since the railroad company promised to place bells at the crossing, one of the most dangerous on the line, and nothing has been done.  Trains whiz by at a rapid rate without warning, not even the ringing of bells.

Susquehanna – Principal A. A. Killian has introduced an interesting and commendable feature in connection with the courses of study in the Susquehanna schools.  It is the devotion of time to the study of birds.  Last week portions of two days were given to instruction in literature and music having references to birds.  It is a very engrossing pursuit, this knowledge of bird ways, and it is calculated to soften the heart and strengthen the character of anyone who interests himself in the little feathered friends of man.  This newspaper would like to see Bird Day observed in every school in the county.
