Rush – Mr. Mason Fargo, of Shoemaker’s Mill, had the two first fingers of his left hand taken off by the corn sheller, last Saturday. The machine was clogged with some cobs which he tried to remove with his hand, but unfortunately his fingers were caught and mangled in a shocking manner. The old soldier marched up to Dr. Warner who dressed the hand and amputated the fingers in a proper manner, and the hand is doing as well as can be expected. Mr. Fargo has our sympathy. No more, will he be able to charm the car and solace the weary by the strains of his violin.

South Auburn – The event of all events for the last week occurred on Thursday at the home of Peter Benninger, when his oldest daughter, Miss Mary, was wedded to Charles Crisman, of Jersey Hill. The house was very tastefully adorned with evergreens, and at 12 the happy couple, standing beneath the horseshoe suspended from the arch by a white ribbon, were united in marriage by Rev. W. H. Stang, in a very impressive manner; after congratulations and dinner the bride and groom left for a visit among friends and relatives in Wyoming County.

Lake View – Thieves are helping themselves to other people’s butter, flour, oats and chickens, occasionally. AND A wood bee for the benefit of the M.E. church was held in Jas. Burdick’s woods and the ladies furnished dinner at the parsonage.

Montrose – Co. G.’s famous dog, Rover, died last week. Rover was but a dog, but he was a novel and knowing animal at that – he growled, bit the toes of the nearest pair of feet and in his peculiar way won himself into the hearts of all who knew him. Rover always liked to be “in it” and never a bugles note blew nor a fire bell rung but what he was the first one to respond. He was raised by Col. West of Silver Lake. His mother was part bull, with some fox terrier blood; his father was part fox terrier with some bull blood and the natural deduction is that Rover is part fox terrier, part bull, with some dog in him. He was buried with military honors in Jessup’s orchard. The Company marched with precision and faced the newly made grave. The flag of our country was wrapped about the casket, for Rover certainly deserved to be buried with “old glory” about him.
