AND Our baseball club was knocked silly by the Deposits last Saturday AND A young gentleman bicyclist of this place met with a rather ticklish experience one day recently. He had been taking a trip to Windsor and was pedaling his way home peacefully, when he overtook a heard of cows which were sauntering leisurely toward the milking-yard, accompanied by the father of the flock, a burley, “sassy,” impudent looking “critter” who boasted a pair of short horns long enough to succeed in sending a man sky high in a mere second. As the rider advanced the heard he slackened speed a little, and after some comical twists and turns, he passed through the hairy group without much trouble. In a few seconds, however, he was discovered by the gentleman cow who with a “woosh” and a bellow, started in quick pursuit after the “bike” and its rider. How the dust flew and even nature held its breath, wondering which would give up first in the race the bull or the “bike”. After a run of a mile the bull gave up, and the rider, who felt rather weak in the knees soon dismounted for a rest, before pursuing his journey further.

West Auburn - The farmers of this vicinity are very busy engaged in haying.

Lanesboro - On Monday afternoon as Conductor Jones’ coal train was approaching Lanesboro, a child was seen on the track.

Lawsville - While Mrs. Russell Luce was cutting up a beef’s heart, for culinary purposes, her knife struck some hard substance which upon examination proved to be a shawl pin, between two and three inches long, embedded in the meat.

Susquehanna County - For the information of the young readers of your valuable paper I would state that July was named after Julius Cesaer; and as he was a big man, he must have as many days in his month as any other.
