GOSSIP COLUMNS

REDWOOD

From Watertown Re-Union, January 23, 1873

From our own Correspondent --A little scarletina just now.

--A nice hop at Copley's last week.

--Four cheese factories in Alexandria.

--Holkins, the Jeweler, is at home again.

--Rev. Mr. Sears' donation a success--$130.

--Father McDonald, it is said, is to leave us.

--Hay is worth $15 a ton and oats 45 cents.

--Butterfield and Rand are making splendid glass.

--Harder's branch office at Theresa means business.

--H.D. Crandall sold out to Northrup, his partner.

--Supervisor Thomson does conveyancing at Alexandria.

--Watson and his associate teachers make common school desirable.

--The sociable at Mrs. Rand's was a success as usual.

--Miss Ladclow, of Rossie, has a large music class here.

--Your correspondent, Lizzie, is convalescing.

--Trotting nags and cutters again on the streets.

--The Lutheran minister is teaching the German language to a large class.

--Mr. Gaskill is chorister at the Baptist Church, and Amelia Ladu plays the organ.

--Mr. Cook leads the choir in the Methodist church and his daughter plays the organ.

--Redwood is very much in need of a temperance lecture, a black hole, and less whiskey.

--The Reformer's correspondent, "Ichabod," asked a sensible question when he enquired,"Is Jefferson County so poor that it cannot afford the old pauper men and women a cup of tea? is butter a luxury? and pertinently asks might not a Supervisor be a pauper, then what?

--The St. Lawrence County Medical Society held its annual meeting in Ogdensburg on the 14th inst. Dr. James D. Spencer, of your city, and Dr. Johnson, of Adams, were delegates from Jeff. Co.

--We were pleased with Mr. Yates' lecture on the "British Parliament," and so was your distinguished citizen, Dr. Dunlap, for he went to the Dominion the next day to see the Sovereign Queen.

--Is there anything sensational from Carthage this week? Should there be fights, forgeries, suicides or murders, we trust the live DESPATCH will report as graphic as it did the late homicide, when everybody was asking for THE DESPATCH. Nothing is more acceptable than a morning daily--not even a breakfast of beefsteak and coffee.

--Mrs. Alonzo Kring, whose death occurred on the 5th inst., at her sister's, (Mrs. Chauncey Ball,) was an estimable christian lady, had suffered long and much from chronic disease, and yet patiently, for the spirit was calm, resigned, and hopeful of the future--that dream of beautiful flowers, as an emblem, doubtless has already been realized. She leaves a husband, daughter, mother and many friends to mourn her loss. She was buried by her former pastor, Rev. Mr. Linn, of Carthage.
