A stormy night ruins the dried apple shed when a high wind shifts the house, scattering 500 bushels and destroying the roof, forcing a costly relocation and ending hopes of the match.

Mrs Catherine J Snell of Greene township fell in a thicket while picking berries on Saturday. She was injured and bled heavily, losing consciousness as the afternoon wore on.

Erie Pa Herald reports the tale. The second note tells of Oliver Pier’s birthday gathering at his daughter’s home in French Creek. Pier, blind for twenty years, recognizes guests by voice as five generations attend, celebrating his birth anniversary.
