Brookville American, 1865
Thieving
On last Sunday night, a fine hog belonging to Mr. Wm. McClure, weighing some 300 lbs. was stolen from the pen in which it was confined with others. The thief or thieves had driven it a short distance, cut off the head, removed the intestines, and conveyed away the remainder. This is the second hog that has been stolen from Mr. McClure the present season. We learn that three or four have been stolen from Mr. John Wright. Somebody will come to grief one of these days.
Brookville American, 1869
The White Stockings of Metamora played the Brookville Club a friendly game of Base Ball on the Fair Grounds last Saturday, the former winning the game by a score of 32 to 27. It is the understanding that the Brookville Club will play the White Stockings a friendly game on the Metamora grounds on Saturday next.
The fabled Red Stockings were formed in 1869. One of them was a professional team.

California Fruits
Miss Mollie Hockenberry of this city received a choice variety of fruits by express from California from her brother, Jacob Hockenberry of Fresno, who is a collector and money broker.
These semi-tropical luxuries came through safely just before Christmas and were enjoyed by Miss Hockenberry and her friends. Mr. Hockenberry is a native of Franklin County who went west several years ago to grow up with the country, and we are pleased to state that he has prospered in the Golden State.
