CLARKSVILLE.

The people of this community were thrown into a state of excitement last Wednesday afternoon when a well dressed woman was found half frozen on the road near the residence of James Slingerland, a few miles below the village. She was carried into the house of Mr. Slingerland and cared for, and as soon as she could make known her identity she stated that she was Mrs. W. G. Warner of High street, Albany. Her husband was notified and immediately came out with a physician and conveyed her to her home in the city. Mr. Warner said a previous illness had left his wife’s mind in a weakened condition, which accounted for her wandering away in the cold.

GARDENERS ADOPT STANDARD BASKET

At a meeting of the Troy, Schenectady and Albany vegetable gardeners, held in the Farm Bureau office at Albany on Jan. 3, it was unanimously agreed to adopt a 24-quart basket as the standard for garden produce. There has been a great deal of confusion and a great deal of trouble caused by there being several different sizes of baskets used on these markets. In adopting the 24-quart basket the gardeners feel that they have a basket that will meet the requirements better than any other size. The seven-eighths basket is unlawful and a full bushel basket is so heavy that vegetables such as tomatoes in the bottom of the basket become bruised and damaged and in many cases are wasted. Then, too, the 32-quart basket is too heavy for the help the farmers feel they will have to depend upon this coming season, which will probably consist of boys, women and old men.

VILLAGE NOTES.

— The ice crop this year is probably the largest in many years and is of fine quality. Peter G. Tygert is cutting ice that measures over 20 inches in thickness. Nearly all the ice houses in Altamont have been filled or are being filled, with ice from Mr. Tygert’s pond.

— Mrs. W. W. Whipple on Saturday afternoon sustained quite serious injuries by falling on the icy sidewalk while on her way to the railroad station. In falling she dislocated her right shoulder and was injured about the body. A pair of glasses which she wore were also broken. Mrs. Whipple was on her way to see her granddaughter, Miss Irma Watson, off for a visit to East Cobleskill, and possibly her haste to meet the train was the cause of her fall. She was taken to her home and a physician called. She is now being cared for by her granddaughter, Miss Watson.
