THURSDAY last, says the Troy Gafett e
of last week, JAMES LINDERWAN received
a severe kick from a horse, which dislo

drove a hen into the stable, frightening
a horse which kicked with both. feet
viciously. It was a narrow escape from
a more serious injury. tinder the care
of Dr. A. K. Aloell he is recovering. •

that our streets are not exactly intended
for trials of speed in horseflesh, but that
they are used for that purpose to a con
siderable extent, is apparent to even the
most careless observer. Our. authorities
should lay down the law on this matter in
a most eXplicitmanner, and enforce it ri
gorously. The life or limbs should not
be endangered by fast driving, no matter
who msy do it or upon what pretense. -

cy. In the last issue of 'his paper be
aws on his imagination for the follow
ing in regard ';o the future of Athens :
" The rapidity with which our sister
, villagel of Sayre is increasing in_popUla
tion, and stretching out her borders, be
tokens that at no distant day, the two en
terprising villages of Athens and Sayre
will be grasping hands in fraternal friend
ship. 11ns-with Waverly on one side,
and Athens and Sayre on the other, what
is to hinder our becoming an incorporated
city with all the modern facilitiestfor do
ing business, such as street cars, for the
benefit of the people doing bnsiness along
the line, running continually ;frern Wa
verly to Athens for the nominal price of
live cents? -It may.look a little prema-•
Lure to bo talking in this way, but the
day is not far distant when n e- shall see

DEATH OF HON. G. W. KINNEY
Hon. G. W. gINNEY, whalliat - 1 been ill
for several Weeks past, died fat his resi
dence in Shesliequin, on Satiirday last, in
the l'Oth year of his ago. From the Re
view of Tuesday we clip , thefollowing
brief history of this good ma whose-death
will bring sorrow to the hearts of all wbo
knew 'him :
"AlthOugh -a modest, unpretentious
man, Mr. lits.xitt was far above ordinary •
men in intellectual ability, and had . he I
been ambitious, could have stood in the
fOremoit ranks of public men. Ile chose I
the quiet of a rural life, and" employed .
his time and-talents for the greater part
of a long life in cultivadug - his farM, and
aiding to educate and elevate his friends
and neighbors, by whom he was always
held ,in the highest esteem, and frequent-'
ly visited for counsel :ud advice, _which
were always given with characteristic
modesty, and generally acted upon.
The deceased a;as the eldest eon of the
late GEOROE KINNEY, and was born in
Sheshequin in 1811.' At . an early ago he
was apprenticed to the printing business,
in the office of the Independent Republi
can, a newspaper then printed in this
borough by TitonAts CATLIN. After serv
ing his time as an-apprentice, ho printed
the Anti.ibutonic Democrat at Troy—his
friend, .Desimicn; LILLY, working _with
him. Ile also spent some time working
as a ",jour" iu Conneeticut.
In the year 1834 Mr. KINNRY and Mr.
LIMA* established the ilrgus, in this
place, and merged'vvith it the Anti-Ma
sonic' Remberat, of Troy. At the end of
one year Mr. li'INICES retired from the es
tiblishment, and returned to his farm in
Shesheqiiin. Some twenty-eight 'years
ago he sustained an injury while felling
trees, which materially" interfered with
his prosecution of manual labor and in
1853 he went to Texas, at the solicitationt,
of his brother SOMERS, and for a year or
two edited a newspaper. But his strimg
anti-shivery convictions, and free soil Ken
unions, were not iu harmony with the
Southern idea, and he was a man 'of too
much moral courage to stifle his honest
convictions for pecuniary gain, so be re
signed his position 'and , returned to his
home in the. old Wihnot: District, where
the political atmosphere was more in ac
cord with his broad and philanthropic
views.
Notwithstionling Mr. KINNEY'S retir
ing dispositiOn, he had merit which the
public acknowledged and appreciated.
Ile was twice elected to the Legislature
of this State; , and filled the office with
honor apdrdignity. At the time of the
attack of illness, which terminated in his
death, he was Deptity Prothonotary.
The deceased was a firm believer in the
doctrine of universal salvation ; and his
life corresponded with his faith.-fle wasan
active Odd Fellow, and in his intercourse
with his fellows. endeavored to exempli
fy the teachingsof the Order.
.It the age of twenty-live Mr. KuvliEv
married Miss ABBY M. HUTCHINS, of
Connecticut, who sqrvive& him, and four
children, three gills and one oy, were
burn to them. The sou entered the Union
army, and was killed in one of &Mil-
DAN 8 campaigns. The loss of his only
son, ivho was a young man of unusual
promise, wa, a severe blow to Mr. Kix
sty, who 'owl anticipated a brilliant and
useful career for the young man'; but his
hnhl~cit faith in the goodness of the
Heavenly Father led him to receive the:
stroke with bumility.i
. His funeral was attended yesterday af
ternoi4l, and the large concourse - of
mourning fniends and relatives' evidenced
the high esteem in which he •was held by
the Community in which he had lived for
nearly the allotted period of man.
The funeral sermon was preached by
Dr. TAYLOR, of this place. •
"Life's fitful fever over,* he deeps
welt."

MR. Enrroti :—Eyery thing about our
quiet village is as quiet as usual. IThe,
farmers seem to be - the busiest class new
days. The . seeding is about all done, and
now we are preparing for planting.
The prospects for winter grain are not'
vary flattering, although there are, some
excellent fields to be seen. ,
Our new mercantile fi rm of Penman
Brothers it- NEWMAN, seems to be - doing
a good business. Mr. NEwstitt is highly
spoken of as a business man by those
who best know them. PHILLIPS Broth

townsmen. They still retain their gen
tlemanly and obliging clerk, Ilsziay
Ilastivrox. "
Teo cheese factory is now in full work
hag order, operations commenced there
list Monday morning. It is not nearly so
well patronized as it was one year ego.
The trouble seems to be in the quality of
the. whey. •It is thought' by some woo
have thoroughly tested it,. that two pails
of whey' ontain nearly' as much nourish
ment for calves or pigs as three pails of
clear water. This you see is a great sav
ing in times of severe drouth.
