The Albany Argus contain- i ed a full biographical sketch of; our departed fellow citizen, saying • among other things that he had' been a personal friend of Presi- j dent Van Buren. He had been! sheriff of Scoharie county for a number of years and had filled other offices of trust and profit, and had been a man of great enterprise and public spirit As far as health permitted he was active in promoting the interests of Rem- i ington. Invitations are out for a parlor base ball tournament to be given by Miss Anna Forbes on Friday ; evening. It will be something new in the way of entertainments and will doubtless be a pleasant affair.
