The Africanization of Cuba.

A couple of weeks ago, we noticed in
the Advertiser, a scheme for the introduc.
tion Of more negroes into the island Of
Cuba, in view Of future emancipation
Of slavery, and that the English Govern.
men, had become party TO the transac.
tion. We are glad TO learn that the re.
por is unfounded, and that it is laughed
at in Washington by all who are not con-
cerned in getting up the hoax. We pre-
sumo the scheme originated in the imagl.
nation of newspaper correspondents, al
Havana, as not word has been said in
regard to the matter in Spain. The Phil
adelphia Ledger, speaking on the subject,
asserts that the terrible conspiracy to fill
Cuba with African apprentices, TO the
manifest danger of liberty in the United
States, is generally conceded TO be hum.
bug. The plan never he'd any stronger
basis to rest upon than disordered fancy,
though it is said that Senior Mariana Tor
rente, of Cuba, started some such scheme
in England, where, however, instead of
finding favor, it only met with opposition.
Senior Torriente is a Spanish scholar, an
author and gentleman. His views are
evidently the opinions of a literary man,
without any official sanction, and the
fact that he endeavors to show that it
would be good policy in Great Britain
to help forward the scheme, shows that
Great Britain, as yet, is engaged in no
such attempt, if any such evidence were
needed, after all the attempts of Great
Britain to break up the slave traffic en-
tirely.

Kenyon College.

The trustees of Kenyon College held
a special meeting at Mt. Vernon, on the
10Th inst, and unanimously elected Mr..
Lorin Andrews, President of the College.
There is probably no one in the State,
who has done more for the cause of Edu.
cation than Mr.. Andrews, and We hope
he may accept the Presidency, as we are
confident his energy will give new i'm,
pulse to the Institution. 1t is now in q
fiourishing condition, having endowments
to the amount of $50, ,0OO--a property in
come Of $1,000 per annum, and lands te
sell, which will eventually raise the en-
dowments 10 over 100000.

The Clinton Railroad,

1t is understood that the Clinton Line
Extension Railroad has been finally loca-
ted. We regret that the Engineers did
not survey route through our town, be-
lieving that it would have been the most
advantageous which could have been Sc
lected. One Of the surveyed lines passes
through Fairfield and Greenfield, termi-
mating at Tinin and the other through
Ripley ond New Haven, terminating at
Cary, on the Mad River and Lake Erie
Road. Should this Road be built. New
Haven will receive an impetus that will
enable it TO regain all the advantages i,
lost, when the Sandusky and Mansfield
Railroad left it TO one side. We are not
so sanguine, however, of its completion, as
Just now, when the Money Market is
so tight capitalists are disposed to shut
down on new railroad enterprises unless
there is certainty of their paying.
P. S.-Since writing the above, we
have learned that the company has de.
cided the question, by adop ing the
Greenfield route.

Of the estimation our paper is held in by

large list in the short time our paper

at our advertising columns-the marrow
of newspaper. Hav'n't We reason TO

TO make advertising an object to business

least two thousand persons.

improvement, seems to be the order ol
the day with our thriving sister down
south. A week or two since we had oc.
casion TO notice the erection Of a new block
Of business houses on Main-st., and now
we see by the Herald, that they have
commenced planking Il at street from
Slurges' corner 10 the North American
House. One new thing we observe
among the business men of Mansfield. is
the effort they are making TO concentrate
portion OF the small wholesale trade
there. We see no good reason why DEAL
ers in the country should not suit them
selves as satisfactory in prices there, as
they can by going TO the East 10 make
their purchases, thus saving both the ex-
pense Of travelling, freight and time.
With the facilities merchants have in
Mansfield for business, we are certain il
is only necessary for them TO inform
country dealers Of this fact, in order to
get large amount of trade from them
Some of them, knowing a thing or two,
are advertising in our paper, and to these
we call attention:
E. Wilkinson, dealer in Watches, Jew
elry, and everything else in the vaaiety
line, opposite Weldon's new block.
Endly & Shepard, dealers in Hardware,
Coach Trimmings, Iron and Nails, Glass,
&C., Sturgess' Block, Main-st.
Patterson & Wilkinson, dealers in Fine
Jewelry, Watches, Clocks and Fancy
Goods.

Foreign and Domestic Hardware.

Business in plymouth.

Our town has presented quite an ami.
mated appearance all this fall. Great
quantities of grain are disposed Of daily,
at better prices than are paid at any of the
neighboring towns, and while our mer-
chants pay better prices for produce, they
at the same time are willing to sell their
wares cheaper than can be had anywhere
else. This is the reason why our busi-
ness men have such great reputation for
bargains. Country people come from
quite distance 10 avail themselves of the
advantages Plymouth presents, both for
buying and selling, and the consequence
is, our stores are thronged from morning
till night, with customers. Our merchants
understand their true interests, to which
the well-flled advertising columns of our
paper will bear testimony. 1t has be-
come settled matter that lew dollars
paid for an advertisement is the best in
vestment which can be made, for by i.
those who do no business can do some,
and those who do some will do more.
Great preparations are icing made for
the winter trade. Several of our mos,
extensive merchants are now in the East,
laying in very heavy stocks of goods, and
we can confidently recommend our pat
rons at q distance, that when they want
good goods cheap, not to forget that Ply
mouth is the place where they can be
had.
