To the friends Of Temperance and the
public generally we now make our appeal
in behalf of this paper. The publisher
feeling tia matter OF iltiportaiite to the III
terest of the Temperance cause in the Dis
trct, as well as the general interest Of the
cause, and having been, as he conceives,
Providentally placed in situation at this
time when he can nilrgle this interest with
that of the business men, and thereby reti-
der double service to the community, and
still further open a medium of communica-
ton by which our principles may be ex-
tended far and Wide, at cheap rate, he
has purchased a printing establishment, SO
as not only to be able to put a daily paper
regularly to press, but also a weekly; and
still further, be able to do any other print
ing the public may be pleased to have done;
and he assures them that they shall have
no cause of complaint. He has made ar
rangements by which he can devote his
time to the interest of the office and the pa
per; and, having employed Mr.. Charles w.
Fenton, who will be always on the spot, TO
conduct the printing, he has no doubt but
that general satisfaction will be given. We
shall make arrangements to have the earliest
news; also the proceedings of Congress.
We wish all who are indebted for the pa
per up to this time to pay up, as the affairs
of the tri-weekly must be closed They
will perceive that we are about to give
them better paper, double the number, at
the same price. .0
While the COLUMBIAN FOUNTAIN" will
be devoted to the cause of Temperance, its
columns will be enriched by original articles
on subjects calculated to interest, instruct,
and benefit its readers. II is intended so to
blend variety, amusement, and instruction,
as that the various tastes of its patrons may
be (as far as it is practcable) gratiiied.
Commerce, Literature, and Science, and
every other subject of interest, not lnconsis-
tent with Temperance and morality, will re-
ceive the earnest attention OF the publisher
Nothing OF sectarian, political, or personal
character will be admitted. 3h

The hopes Of those adjacent to our line Of canal are
buoyant anticipation of early completion of the
canal, and doubt not that foreign bondholders will
accept Of the canal and canal lands in complete uu-
dation Of hafof their claims upon the State That
portion of lands within the belt of the canal in which
the State made her selections by alienation leaving
the general government half of said lands Of about
equal value with those which fell to the State are be-
ing rapidly purchased.

many, for days past have been passing down to
make entries.

The London correspondent of the Boston Atlas says
that the Bishop of Derry has discovered that the old
process of churning may be done away with. He
sends stream of atmospheric air through the cream,
and the oxygen of the atmosphere, thus coming in
contact with it, speedily converts it into butter of
better quality and with less labor than by the old pro-
cess. Eleven gallons of cream, on one occasion,
produced 26 lbs of butter This mode of butter MAX
ing is now becoming general in England.
