Welsh Hill [Clifford Twp.] - There is some talk of getting up a petition to change the name of our post-office from Welsh Hill to Idyl Wilde. This certainly ought to meet the approval of all, for the lake called by this name is well known and no confusion would result from making the change suggested.

Great Bend - Some of our young people started on a pleasure ride with a nice vehicle and a spirited span of steeds. The horses became frightened soon after leaving, ran across the flat and over the bridge which spans the river between the two boroughs, and through the streets of Hallstead, until stopped near the Depot. The occupants of the carriage were as badly frightened as the horses but all escaped without injury. Very soon two officers, whose duty it is to preserve order and protect the lives and property of their city, appeared in our borough in search of the man who held the ribbons, armed with the authority to arrest him for fast driving on the bridge and through the town. While they were searching for him, he went to Hallstead, to settle all damages with the Squire. The vigilant officers of Hallstead, supposed the driver had been drinking, but when it was learned that the company were all sober and honored citizens, and that it all came through the fright of the horses, apologies were exchanged and the matter was dropped.

Dimock - It was rumored the first of the week that the milk station at Dimock ceased to do business and that the man who runs it (a man living in Brooklyn, NY) is behind some two months in his payments to the farmers for their milk--some $1800 in all. A hard loss.

Heart Lake - The people who made up Jonas Long's Sons' excursion party, were delighted with Heart Lake. The Scranton Tribune says - "It required ten cars to carry the party of jolly excursionists, who returned to the city soon after 8 o'clock last evening, tired but very much pleased with the day they had spent at Heart Lake."
