Harford - As D. M. Farrar, familiarly known as "Uncle Dan," was about to remove from here to reside at Elmira, the members of Live Oak Lodge wished to show their appreciation and respect for him, for though he is not a member, we venture to say was more faithful in attendance and it was decided at the close of the installation on a recent meeting night to give him a reception and also a present. Sickness prevented his going to the hall, and E. J. Whitney, A.M. Leslie and W. H. Brown called at his home and presented him with a very nice gold-headed cane, on which were inscribed his initials and three links. It was a complete surprise to him, but he highly appreciated the gift. Mr. Farrar is in his 90th year and until this fall, has been quite smart for one of his age. AND Wesley Ousterhout, a well known citizen of Harford, dropped dead in Andrew Mead's tinshop, Tuesday evening. Funeral will be held from the house, Friday.

Laurel Lake, Silver Lake Twp. - One of the most interesting surprise parties ever held here was given by the youngsters of the vicinity, at Wm. Buckley's, in honor of Miss Susie Murphy, teacher of the Laurel Lake school. There were about 75 in attendance, among who were many from Montrose and Binghamton. They were highly entertained, ice cream and fancy cakes being served, after which a recitation, "The Country School's Last Day," [was] given by Miss Susie Murphy, and Blue bell, sung by [the] Binghamton ladies. AND With a firm and strong step, John L. Murphy, aged 98 years, walked by the side of Recorder Roberts, on Collier Street, Binghamton, this morning and rivaled the young man in agility of action. In December, Mr. Murphy will reach his 98th year, bringing with it recollections of almost a century of bustling activity of the American nation. He was born in 1806. Mr. Murphy resides a few miles south of Silver Lake and drove to town [Binghamton] yesterday. He weighs 167 pounds and is anything but the shriveled up being which usually emerges from a career of 90 or more years. His cheeks are ruddy, his face fat and plump and his body fleshy.

Forest City - If the population of Forest City will continue to increase at the present rate, where to put the surplus population will become a source of considerable anxiety to the borough fathers, says a correspondent. Every piece of available property is occupied, and naturally, independent property owners realize high rates from tenants. In some parts of the town three and four families occupy an ordinary six and seven room dwelling. Every boarding house in the city is doing a rushing business. Under the circumstances it is surprising that a few ingenious persons do not build a number of suitable dwellings. This would be a sure moneymaker and a success in every respect.

Upsonville, Franklin Twp. - A very pretty home wedding occurred Oct. 12, at J.W. Hunsinger's, when Miss Mertie, their only daughter, was married to Friendly Smith, of Hallstead. The parlor was prettily decorated with evergreens and potted plants and an arch composed of evergreens and chrysanthemums. A ribbon aisle leading through the room to the arch was supported by Miss Bessie Dean, maid of honor, who was beautifully attired in white Swiss and lace. The bride, escorted by her brother and best man, carried bridal roses and carnations and was gowned in a becoming suit of gray cloth. The bridesmaid, Mrs. Edna Hunsinger, carried chrysanthemums and wore a suit of blue and white. Rev. L. W. Church, pastor of the bride, solemnized the marriage rites.
