KNAPP last Tuesday at the M. E. church was very largely attended and Rev. JAGGARD preached a very fine funeral discourse. The remains were taken by carriage to Lockport for burial. The contractors are resuming work on the new St. Mary's church this week. There is a lot of water in the basement and this will have to be pumped out before any other work can be done. It is hardly to be expected that the building will be completed before September. Martin KAFFER has been laid up at his home since last Thursday with blood poisoning which resulted from a small cut on his hand made by a piece of tin. Mr. KAFFER has suffered great pain and a high fever and has been a pretty sick man. At present he is greatly improved and with good luck will soon be fully recovered. Spring days are beginning to appear in earnest and the spring political campaign begins to absorb attention. A supervisor and all the other town officers are to be chosen Tuesday, April 5, and they must be nominated not last than Monday, March 21, only ten days hence. No one has yet announced his candidacy for any office and it looks like a good chance for the ambitious ones. Supervisor Daniel HALL will probably stand for re-election if his friends insist on it.
