SOUTH BETHLEHEM.

While Charles Snyder of Selkirk was away Sunday afternoon his horse, wagon and harness were stolen by a young boy. They were taken sometime between 3 and 5 o’clock in the afternoon, and by 8:30 the Albany police had located the stolen belongings in possession of the boy who had stolen them, on Delaware avenue. No charge was preferred by the owner of the horse on account of the age of the boy.

MEADOWDALE.

About fifty men, women and children assembled at [unreadable] Wright’s last Monday evening on invitation to an old fashioned husking bee. Mr. Wright had a bountiful crop of corn this year and took this means of getting the corn husked. A substantial lunch was served and all did justice to the “feed.” All say that the pumpkin pie made by Mrs. Wright cannot be beaten.

VILLAGE NOTES.

— Joe Gaglioti, the barber, has resumed his work after a week’s illness of influenza and grip. He was obliged to close his shop for a week, not being able to secure competent help to run the business.

— A Ford car driven and owned by a Middleburgh farmer came through the village Tuesday evening and in attempting to drive into Makely’s garage, ran head on into the gasoline pump standing alongside the walk. The pump was knocked over and disconnected and also some of the parts broken. The following morning repairs were made and the pump is again in good working order. The car was occupied by four men, all strangers to Altamont. A cash deposit was made before they were allowed to go home.
