While in service under, General Sherman, he was captured and taken to Salisbury, North Carolina prison, where he was confined until the surrender of Gen. Johnson.

Auburn Twp. - Chas. E. VanGorden has been a very busy man during the month. His peach orchard, of 2,200 trees, are producing a great crop again this year and it is necessary to see that they are marketed quickly when ripe. The Albertans have all been picked and later varieties are now coming on. While he has shipped a large number of baskets, the largest amount of the crop is taken by purchasers who come to the orchard. ALSO at Bennett Corners - What we need in this section, and that badly, is a telephone. There are some fifty families here that would be glad of a phone.

Kingsley - The Kingsley hotel, owned by F. W. Tennant, of Clark's Summit, was burned to the ground Thursday night and a large barn adjoining the hotel was also destroyed with all its contents with the exception of the horses. A heavy thunder storm passed over the town and it is supposed that lightening caused the fire.

Hallstead/Susquehanna/Great Bend - August 29th, a burly fellow by the name of Thomas McGarvey, a section hand on the D.L.& W., working at Hallstead, who it is said was from Philadelphia, was arrested on a charge of assault and battery, and placed in the lock up at Hallstead, awaiting a hearing the next morning. But, he never had the hearing. Very soon after being locked up, some friend or pal, with an ax or sledge, smashed in the door and liberated McGarvey, who made good his escape. However, the vigilant constable, Elmer Decker, did not despair of landing the fellow and knowing that he had a pay check coming from the D.L.& W., sent notices to Scranton and Binghamton, where he would probably sometime call for same, to be on the look out for him. Sure enough, he called at Scranton for his pay last Saturday and while he was detained, ostensibly to be identified, officials were notified. Constable Decker immediately got out a warrant against him for breaking jail, went down to Scranton and brought him to Montrose, where he will answer to the grand jury. While he did not break jail, yet he will be tried upon that charge. It is an unusual, strange case. When told that it would be much easier for him if he would reveal the man's name who smashed in the door, he said that he did not know his name, but could identify him if he saw him, and said that the man was a short, thick built fellow.
