Brooklyn - Sunday was the 85th birthday anniversary of Henry L. Beach, which he quietly celebrated at his home. Mr. Beach has been quite feeble for some time, but he acted as host to his son, Harry and family, and Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Warner, of Montrose, at dinner at the Austin House, and enjoyed the natal day gathering. He is a former prominent Montrose man, a veteran of the Civil War, and founded Beach Manufacturing Co., whose sawing and wood-working machinery is sold in practically every country in the world. ALSO C. F. Richards was a business caller in town. Mr. Richards is nearing his 83d year, but he remains active and cheerful and it is always a pleasure to converse with this aged man, who refuses to grow old. He is one of three surviving Civil War veterans, belonging to Lieut. Rogers Post, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, and these old veterans have decided not to relinquish their charter so long as three of them are alive. The other two members are E. E. Rozell, of Brooklyn, and Urbane Sloat, of Kingsley. Hon. James W. Adams, the last member of the Post to die, passed away a short time ago at the age of 86. All of the three remaining veterans are starting toward their 90th year, but they are still young at heart.

Susquehanna - A large number of boxing fans, from Southern New York, are expected to visit the last three days of this week, to see the Dempsey-Tunney official fight pictures at the Hogan Opera House. Under the law, fight pictures can only be exhibited in the state in which the contest takes place. Therefore, the Dempsey-Tunney contest will be shown only in Pennsylvania. ALSO The death of James M. Barry, Erie locomotive engineer, occurred on his engine in the Carbondale yard. He was doing some switching when a stop signal was given to him by the brakeman of the train. When he failed to bring the train to a stop the brakeman investigated and found him dead, with his hand on the throttle. Mr. Barry was a native of this place and about 60 years of age. He was the second oldest engineer in point of service on the Jefferson division, being there since August 1, 1888.

Harford - Many people around the community met with much loss of farm produce, etc., during the severe wash-out last Tuesday night. The Charles Flint family left their home in the night and went to the near neighbor, W. R. Merritt, where they stayed until morning, for the water beat against their house with such force they became much alarmed. Our mail carrier did not make his full route for several days, owing to bridges being taken out by the high water, and pumpkins, tomatoes, buckwheat, etc., went away for a ride, causing a great deal of loss.

Dimock - The new pave is being laid up Wm. Bailey’s hill and it will be completed this week, it is expected, as the contract must be fulfilled by the 15th. The road from here to Tunkhannock is the best it has been this summer and has had extra fine care since the storm of last week.

Fair Hill, Forest Lake Twp. - We had a white frost Tuesday morning.

Kingsley - This place is recovering from the devastations made by the recent cloudburst. It was very fortunate that machinery and men for the new state road construction were present at that time.

Springville - The Women’s Christian Temperance Union will meet at the home of Mrs. E. W. Lott on Friday afternoon, the 15th.

Ararat - The Missionary Society’s “Dollar Day” was a very pleasant occasion. They met at the home of Mrs. Harris. Thirteen ladies attended, bringing dollars and poems, telling how they earned the dollar. Several dollars were sent in by those who could not be present, making $21 in all.

Thompson - During the recent storm that did so much damage in many places, we are told that a bolt of lightning struck Edward Avery’s house, in Ararat, entered their sleeping apartment, and ran around the bed where they were sleeping, tearing off plaster in many of the rooms and ended by blowing out 15 windows. Strange to say, none of the family were injured, but had a very narrow escape.

Forest City - Joseph Morowski, Anthony Polosky, Michael Skubic and William Puchnick were in Philadelphia, on the 12th, participating in the American Legion National Convention parade. The colors of the Charles and Martin Skubic Post were taken down by the boys and carried in line.
