One of Lockport's lumber dealers, Alonzo J. McMASTER, made an assignment

amount not known; 3d, National Exchange Bank, of Lockport, notes amounting to
$12,000; 4th, Eleazer BALDWIN, notes, about $2,600. Mr. McMASTER owns

The news quickly spread and cast quite a gloom over the city as Mr. BABCOCK
is widely known, a member of the best society and holds a prominent position
in the Farmers' and Mechanics' Savings Bank. He is about 22 years of age and
engaged to one of the city's most talented young ladies. Friends and medical
skill gave him the best of care during the day but as yet he has not
recovered consciousness and there is little hope for his recovery.
