 TROY LOCAL ITEMS

Troy, Aug. 6, 1866

ED. DEMOCRAT:

Alf. HOWARD, the great Violinist, gave one of his pleasant
entertainments last Saturday, to an appreciative audience. ---- He is
surely the master of the "King of musical instruments," and withal a
fine fellow.

Newton J. HARTER was buried July 29, with the Odd Fellows in full
attendance.
Mr. H. was one of our best and most public spirited citizens, and his
loss will long be felt.

Professor HAMILTON has been favoring our Horse loving citizens with
illustrations of his proficiency in his art. No one better understands
his business than the Professor.

Last Wednesday night another attempt was made to enter the vault of the
National Bank. While the crowd who detected the burgler were awaiting
the arrival of the Bank Teller, (whose presence alone would have made an
arrest official) the robber escaped.

There is a plenty of scandal afloat here, but as it would interest none
but the ladies, I will save the items for Mm. Demorest's Monthly or the
New York Mercury, for which last one of our talented young citizens
contributes in the poetry line.

Local.
