The council of the American legion of honor are making preparations for their annual excursion.

W. D. F. Manice and family, of New York, moved to their country residence yesterday for the summer.

Col. Alfred M. Wood was mustered in as a member of Jamaica Post, G. A. R., on Tuesday evening by Thomas S. Rider, commander. A collation was served after the muster.

The coroner's jury in the case of John Callister, the old veterinary surgeon, who was found dead in the barn of Nicholas Krummenacker on Sunday a week ago, found that the deceased died from being overheated. Caillster has a wife, son and daughter residing in Brooklyn.

Rev. Mr. Demarest of the Reformed church preached a sermon to the children Sunday morning. Bibles were presented to the baptized children who had attained the age of twelve years. The Sunday school anniversary was held in the evening. The Rev. J. L. Spicer, of the American Sunday school union, gave an illustrated talk on "Light Bearing in Dark Places." There was special music for the occasion.

Peter Walster resides on the Jericho road. On Sunday night he sent his marketman, James Donovan, to market with a load of vegetables valued at $100. Donovan did not return on Monday and Walster went to New York to look for him. He found his team in a stable where they had been left by Donovan. He learned that Donovan sold the vegetables early Monday morning, but as yet he has not returned with the money.
