Miscellaneous Local Items
Chenango Telegraph, June 15, 1864
Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY
We learn that we were mistaken in stating in our last that there was to be a new Hotel at Bainbridge. The proprietor of that "was-to-have-been" institution has ,we are told, sold out, "pulled up stakes" and gone off. There remaineth one consolation however to the bar room loungers of Bainbridge, and the public generally, in the fact that Mr. Henry L. Marsh, who has lately purchased the "Bainbridge House," is fitting it up in fine style. It hardly looks like its former self. Success to the enterprising proprietor.
The Episcopal Society are building a fine parsonage on the grounds once occupied by the "Patchen House," and "Kidder's Store." and which have been vacant since those buildings were burned some years since. It presents the appearance of being a neat and commodious building.
Gil Sherwood, who has so long and so faithfully served the customers at Davis', has been "promoted" to a junior partnership in the establishment. Gil is a universal favorite with the customers of Davis, who, by the way, are not a few in number, and is eminently deserving the advancement.
Guilford, Chenango Co., NY
The sufferers in the late fire at Guilford are busily engaged rebuilding their various establishments. Mr. Delavan has his new shop already nearly completed, and will soon be in working order. M. Trask is fitting up a shop near the lower part of the village, and will soon be able to manufacture "anything which runs on wheels," to suit the demands of his customers. Mr. Ogden, on a recent visit to the place, we found diligently working at the "understanding of his house. Altogether the people seem to have recovered from the shock and have gone diligently at work to repair damages.
