NEWS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL 

The pupils of the High school have been searching the town for a hall in which to play basketball. The hall which they have rented for some years is not to be obtained this year, and their search has been in vain. It is regretted that the High school has no hall that could be used for this purpose and for other meetings. 

DUNNSVILLE.
While Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. Crounse were attending church on Sunday, George Jermain, a fourteen year old boy of Albany, who had been helping Mr. Crounse with his farm work, made an entry to his house through one of the windows and stole one hundred dollars and a sweater belonging to Mr. Crounse. On arriving home from church Mr. Crounse missed the boy and also the money. After an exciting chase by Mr. Crounse and several of the neighbors, the boy was located at Duanesburgh, where he had spent twenty cents of the money, the balance being recovered. The boy was brought before Justice Brinkman, who committed him to the Humane society at Albany to await the action of the grand jury.

— Alfred Young was stricken with paralysis while sitting at the dinner table at his home last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Young, who is the sexton of the Lutheran church, had attended to the ringing of the bell for the morning service as usual, and gave no sign of his illness until his wife noticed that he was unable to hold a cup of coffee in his right hand. Mr. Young’s entire right side is affected, but at present he shows signs of improvement. Dr. Jesse Crounse is the attending physician, and he entertains hopes of his recovery.
