Musical Recital in Truxton.
Tuesday evening, Aug. 29th, the residence of
Mr. Otis D. Patrick in Truxton village was filled with people assembled to
listen to a program of instrumental and vocal music, which had been arranged
for the occasion. Those taking part were mostly residents of Truxton, though
fortune opportunely favored the audience with a few numbers from visiting
friends. Mr. E. C. Kenney acted as conductor.
During the summer an orchestra of five pieces
has met occasionally for practice. The members are: Mrs. O. D. Patrick, piano;
Miss Vera Seibert, first violin; Miss Satie Seibert, second violin; Mr. Frank Goddard,
cornet; Mr. E. C. Kenney, piccolo. As will appear from the program goodly a portion
of the entertainment was furnished by them.

2. After
Dinner Quadrille, Orchestra.
3. Song,

The audience seemed to be highly pleased
with the music giving every number enthusiastic applause, numbers 3, 4, 5, 7, 9,
14, 15 received encores. Miss May Marble also sang extra pieces by
request. All in all, it must be admitted
that the program exhibited great variety and a really worthy combination of
talent. Such entertainments not only please the ear for the moment, but also
stimulate those taking part to earnest practice and encourage the young to
begin and pursue a musical education.
HERE AND
THERE.
Be sure and read the programme of the Fair
to be held on the grounds of the Cortland county agricultural society to be
found on fourth page.
The new list of the Telephone company shows
fifty subscribers in Cortland.
The fall term of Miss Austin's school
commences next Tuesday.
Miss E. C. Ormsby's school opens next Wednesday
morning.
Teachers' examinations for second and third
grade certificates will be held at Marathon Sept. 1, and 2.
A first-class band and an excellent
orchestra with the "My Aunt Sally" company in the Opera House next
Monday evening.
The Norwich Sun says: "Speak the
truth." This advise is doubtless intended for the general reader instead
of for members of the press.
Section 200 of a law passed by the last legislature,
says that no child not vaccinated can hereafter enter any of the public schools
of this state. Trustees or boards of education must appoint a physician to look
after this matter.
The Ladles and Pastors Aid Society of the
Homer-ave. M. E. church, are preparing to give "a dollar social,"
early in September. Each member of the Society will explain how she earned her
dollar, which is to be given at that time. An interesting time is expected.
Look out for sharpers who travel around pretending
to repair carpet sweepers and wringers. If they get an order to fix them
they ask for the privilege of taking them to their store for repairs. That is
the last seen of wringer or carpet sweeper, as the traveler disposes of them at
a low figure to some one who wishes to buy.
Tramps are getting very numerous throughout
the county and frequent complaints are heard of their high-handed depredations.
Many have been arrested and more ought to be. Some towns are already taking advantage
of the general law of 1892 which gives power to the supervisor and two justices
of the peace to appoint five or less special constables for three days or less
for the protection of the peace.—Exchange.
The Citizens' Law Enforcement
Association have caused the arrest of nearly all the proprietors of hotels and
restaurants in this place the past week, The bartenders of the Messenger and
the Cortland House were arrested instead of the proprietors. All gave bail
except Frank Bates of the Commercial Hotel, whose case was tried before a jury.
The jury brought in a verdict of guilty and Justice Bull fixed the fine at $50
which we understand was paid.
About 5 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon an alarm of fire called the department over the river to Doud-st. The
nearest hydrant is near the tracks on Grant-st., so the hose from three carts
was needed to reach the scene of the fire 1700 feet away. It was the dwelling
of L. P. Walsh and the fire was first around the chimney in the attic. His
goods were all removed and water from the long line of hose soon ended the
fire. The loss is covered by insurance. The steamer was called but did not
arrive in time.
The Standard congratulates
itself over the alleged fact that it published "the full report of the
votes on the Wilson anti-silver bill and all the amendments proposed thereto nearly
three hours before any other paper brought the news into Cortland." The
Standard should be freely awarded all the credit due it for this alleged
bit of enterprise, but its readers will regret the fact that it became so
exhausted in furnishing this bit of information, that it was unable to give a
line of telegraphic news the day following. The Standard apologises
[sic] for this failure by saying, "Telegraph wires are down all
over the state as a result of last night's storm. No late despatches
[sic] have been received." Other daily papers were receiving and
publishing despatches, but then their's [sic] are received by wire while
the Standard's come by express. It would have been far more correct to
have said, "Trains failed to connect and plates did not arrive,
consequently we couldn't print them."
Remember that Barnum & Bailey's
great show will be in Cortland September 19.
The Cortland Coon club held
its annual hunt last Saturday. Ten members joined. The coon was treed near Groton
City and the hunters repaired to McLean where a very fine breakfast awaited
them at the Elm Tree House. Our reporter was unable to learn whether the coon
was of the striped or dark variety.
PARALYSIS IN SCOTT.
We learn that Johnny Hazard of Spafford is
low of consumption.
Mrs. Andrew Fay died quite suddenly the 22d
instant. Funeral at the house. Burial at
Homer.
Mr. Hiram Babcock is about to move to Homer
to live with his daughter, Mrs. Frank Hammond.
Mr. George Burdick and family of Olean and
Mr. M. G. Craft of Homer called upon Mrs. Euretta Burdick recently.
Rev. B. C. Sherman preached at the S. D. B.
church on seventh day and Rev. Mr. Sanford of Homer at the M. E. church on Sunday.
Paralysis
is quite prevalent in Scott. Several cases within a few days. On Sunday as we
were going to church we found a man apparently completely paralyzed and lying
upon his face. If it had been any other day than Sunday we should have thought
he might be drunk, but the law does not allow liquor sold on that day so it
must have been paralysis. We will mention only two other cases. On
Saturday, only the day previous, two of our townsmen, who have been quite
prominent in the caucuses of the G. O. P. left this village on business in
another part of the town. Night came on and they did not return. Finally search
was made and they were found at a hotel near the lake, but it was not thought
best to remove them that night, but strange as it may appear they are recovered
from their paralysis, if indeed they or either of them had a shock. Now what
can be done to check the disease? Is it contagious? We cannot think it comes
from drinking bad water, for we have beautiful water in Scott. Some of the
Radicals think it is the result of drinking poor whisky. We think there should be
a quarantine established at once.
Mrs. Harriet Sidney died at her home in Scott
on the morning of August 24th of internal tumor, aged 68 years. Funeral
on Sunday at the house, conducted by Rev. B. C. Sherman. Interment in the new cemetery.
She leaves three sisters, Mrs. Churchill of Syracuse, Mrs. Prindle of McGrawville,
and Miss Mary Norton, who had made it her home with her for quite a number of
years past. She also leaves four brothers, three of whom live in California and
one in Washington county, N. Y. She was sister of the late James Norton of
Spafford. Mrs. Sidney was of a very quiet nature and by very frugal management
had acquired quite a handsome property. She was very particular and quite
exacting in her-dealings, honest in her transactions, paying every cent due her
creditors and paying promptly. She also wanted all that was due her from
others. Mr. E. W. Childs is the executor of her estate, and the will is as follows:
$100 to each of her brothers in California. The homestead, and nearly all of
the household goods go to her sister Mary. A few articles go to Mrs. Prindle of
McGrawville to whom recently she gave money to clear her place of debt. The
residue of her property is to be evenly divided between her three sisters. A
lot in the new cemetery has been purchased and a monument will be erected.
