graph. AS we are about moving our ma
terial, and are obliged TO fit up building
TO receive it, we shall! most probably not
be able to issue the frst number of the next
volume until two weeks from this date. All
subscriptions on our list, not ordered TO be
discontinued, will be continued as al present.
New subscriptions are solicited, and those
who wish 10 discontinue, will OF course no
:ify us, at the samc time we expect in &C.
| cordaneo with our terms, that all arreara-
| ges will be paid before disseminating. In
the course of our business during the past
year wo have Eeen obliged to contract ma
ny obligations; it is desirable to us, as well
as TO those TO whom these obligations are
due, that they should be promptly met; 1t
cen only be done by those who are indeb-
, ed to us promptly meeting their obligations;
we therefore earnestly request those who
are indebted to US for advertising and SUBJ
scri ption, TO lose no time in liquidating
their accounts. 1t is necessary that it should
be done. We shall probably have col
lector through the county, Immediately.
When we commenced the publication OF
the Telegraph, year since, we consider
ed ourselves embarking in an experiment
the result of which remained to be seem
1t is true, knowing, as we did, the resour-
ces of the country and the character Of the
people, for tho result we had but little
fear, and if we had expectations, they
have been fully met. Whether we have
deserved the patronage VIC have received,
it is not perhaps for us to say, butt has
certainly been our desire and endcavor to
make the paper worthy Of the wants OF our
immediate country, and from indications,
we are disposed to flatter ourselves that we
have not been entirely unsuccessful, and
also, that The price Of subscription to those
who have paid it, has not been un unpro-
fitable expenditure. The paper, during the
year has been extensively circulated east,
and has been perused by thousands, and
as no opportunity has been lost to set forth
the resources ofthe country and the induce
ments Tor emigration, it is not too much to
allow ii some influence, in causing The I'M
usual tide of emigration flowing in upon US
the present season. We have no doubt
the peoPle of our own and adjoining coun-
ties, will readily see and award US all due
credit.
go With regard to our town, we presume the !
most sanghlnc did not anticipate the extent
OF active business which we witness at pre-
sent. The town will increase in size and
also in population, at least one third, before
the closing of the season. Emigration,
since the opening of navigation, has tended
unusually to this point, every boat landing
from twenty to thirty and fifty good sub
stanlal emigrants, with their effects. We
are, in amanner, walking away from some
Of our lake shore rivals, and we shall hard
ly be accused Of egotistical vanity, when
we express the belief that the circulation
of the paper east, has contributed IN great
degree, TO this end. We have become
known abroad: the existence and import
ance OF our town is not a matter Of coniec-
ture: the presence of the paper is evidence
that our town has being, and the business
appearance of IFS advertising, &c. is evil
dence of the towns importance. We might
make remark here with regard to adver-
Using, and we do it with very little indeed
of selfish feeling. Any merchant, mocha
mic, or tradesman Of any kind, certainly
neglects his interest, Wien he neglects to
advertise. For a trifing expense, he can
have list Of every article he may have
for sale, under the eye of amosteyery per-
son in the country through which the pa
per circuates, and persons will of course,
first seek the establishment where thew |
know they can procure what they want. |
Many persons will have a sign painted and
placed over their door to be seen only bv
those who pass, never dreaming that il
would be Of benefit, through the medium of
the paper, 10 have much more accurate
sign under the eye OF every one in the coun-
try. Those who are acquainted with the |
mode of doing business, particularly east, |
are aware of the dependence placed unon
