Rush - Asa Hickok has just recovered the saber he carried in the war of the rebellion. He had committed it to the keeping of a comrade who was coming home, whilst Mr. H. staid some time in Harrisburg. The two lost sight of each other for years. Finally Mr. Ransom died. The saber passed into other hands, but fortunately Mr. Hickok learned of its whereabouts, and so recovered it a short time since.

The ground floor will still be used as a blacksmith shop, while the basement below will be remodeled and converted into convenient feed stables where the horses of parties from out of town can be fed and stabled for a nominal fee. AND It was one of the pleasant sights of the parade yesterday to witness the dignity with which veteran [Civil War] Whitney, the Susquehanna journalist, bore himself in one of the conspicuous scats of a barouche devoted to the use of the older soldiers. We could not get close enough to comrade Whitney's badge to note the number of his regiment; but were informed upon good authority that he won the right to the distinction accorded him in the Mexican war, although he himself claims it to have been in the war of 1812.

News Briefs: An exchange remarks that the most accomplished lady bicycle riders have been noticed to steer their wheel with one hand and hold their skins away from the wheels with the other. They do it with apparently as much case and indifference as when they gather up their skirts before crossing a muddy street. A new society is being organized among the young ladies of Binghamton, the object of which is the reformation of their gentlemen friends. Each member pledges herself not to marry, or even associate with, any young man who drinks or gambles, or who. in fact, does not hold the same standard of morality for men that they demand of women. Somebody has started to talk up the matter of every farmer putting his name on his barn and says they ought to be encouraged by every newspaper. Talk it up. Interest will be redoubled in a drive over a road you are unfamiliar with, where people live whom you know but not their places of residence. An exchange says this is all right but the said farmer should add in a fool note if he has any marriageable daughters, or cross dogs, or any cider.
