The End of the Volume.
With the present number closes the first
ear Of our connection with the Meigs Coun.
,y Telegraph. I. will be recolected ,ha,
we commenced with the middle Of q volume,
the first number being issued on the 18th Of
July, 1852.
In general, our intercourse with the read
ers Of the Telegraph, and the citizens gen.
orally, has been remarkably pleasant and
agreeable. That nothing should occur to
harruss and vex one, engaged in our occupu-
lion, could not otreasonaby be expected That
such things have occurred we frankly ad-
nit; but, in reviewing the occurrences of the
past year, we feel constrained 10 acknow'
edge that our success has far exceeded our
anlicipatons. Subscribers, in general, have
been promp.in their payments, which have
almost invariably been in cash. Our ad-
verlising patronage has rapidly increased,
and our job work has proved more profitable
than we expected. We have formed many
pleasant acquain,ances, and friendships have
been begun, which we hope will continue
throughout eternity. After an absence Of
several weeks, Pomeroy seemed, On our re-

country. 1t was our intention 10 visit them

ascertain, if possible, the mutual benefit we
might be to each other. Such visits, we
doubt not, would prove both pleasant and
profitable 10 both parties. etpresenl pros

time TO come. The difficulty of procuring
suitable assistance in the mechanical depart

cause Of this.
