The brief items, with dates, were partly culled from our county papers.
M'CALLSBURG.
There is a town about half a mile east of the center of Warren Township named McCallsburg, in which there is a post-office named Latrobe. Should the reader ever want to visit this place by rail he should be careful to procure a ticket for McCallsburg; but should he write to a friend to meet him at McCallsburg he should be particular to address his letter to Latrobe. Great inconvenience often occurs to shippers because of the different names of the town and post-office; and the sooner this matter is settled by giving the town and post-office one name the better it will be for all concerned. —(Jan. 17, 1883.)
The severe snow storm on Wednesday last blockaded the railroad, which up to Saturday was impassable. Two engines were ditched between here and Zearing Friday by the deep drifts on the track.—(Jan. 17, 1883.)
J. W. Smith, our genial postmaster, was out the other day to lend a helping hand in getting a ditched engine on the track so his mail sack might get through; but he got no mail.—(Jan. 17, 1883.)
Business is lively. N. B. Churchill has sold his entire stock of hardware, dry goods and groceries to J. A. Boston, who is conducting the trade in these goods and has a good run of custom. Mr. Boston will build a new store room in a few days.—(March 28, 1883.)
