CANANDAIGUA-RoCH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
GENEssEE FALLS.


We recommend such friends as may
soiourn in New York ward to do as we
did-stop at the Canandaigua hotel, which
stands hard by the railroad depot, it is
kept by the Messrs. Gum, Ga double bar
relied instrument,) which discharged the
duties of host during our short stay very
satisfactorily.
Canandaigua is beautifully situated on
the northern extremity a the Canandaigua
Lake, contains some 5000 inhabitants,
and has large proportion of tasteful and
elegant private residences. These line the
avenues extending southwark by gentle
ascent while the northern portion of the
town, near the lake, is dedicated to bust
ness. A daily steamboat crosses the lake
to a town on the opposite side. Canaan
daigua is the County seat Of Ontario
county.
After enjoying drive through the
streets and by the shore of the lake, we
took the Rochester train, and passing
through portion of the Gennessee Valley,
by Hop plantations and Nurseries, we
reach the city of Rochester in time for
somewhat too fashionable dinner.
Rochester is a beautiful young city, the
seat of justice of Monroe county; celebra-
ted as the central depot Of the productives
of the Genessee Valley, as the birth place
of Spiritual manifestations, and the one
time home of Miss Fox, whose singular
alliance with DR.. Kane, the great explorer,
has been the topic of so much tea-table
gossip III fashionable circles.
Rochester is most happily situated. In
one of the greatest grain producing valleys
in the United States, lying on the Gen
nesSee, Immediately above the Falls. lis
water power is ample for every purpose
while canal and three different lines of
railroad gives every facility for trade and
travel. Its population is $4,000.
As soon as the hungry god was ap-
peased we took a carriage and drove to
Charlotte, the part of Rochester, six miles
distant, on Lake Ontario, at the mouth of
the Genessee. This Is a delightful drive.
sloping gently to the lake, and lined with
evergreen shrubs, the same as decorate
pleasure grounds here, which grow in
wild abundance, in the neighborhood of
the northern tier Of lakes, the Niagara and
St. Lawrence.
Arrived at the lake shore we amused
ourselves by vainly straining our eyes TO
catch the opposite or Canadian shore, and
in marking the various craft that ply on
the lake Returning we visited the cele-
brated Genessne Fulle, immediately below
Rochester. These are grand spectacle
second only to those of Niagara. Indeed
at first view they seem little inferior, the
smaller body of water making the distance
appear greater.
1t was the afternoon of a clear day
when this great natural curiosity was wit
messed by US. A beautiful rainbow spann-
ed the stream below, while the falling col
umn of water displayed itself in all its
primitive grandeur. Imagine stream of
water as large as the Juniata, at its juno
ton with the Susquehanna, falling over a
ledge of rock, perpendiculaly distance of
ninety feet, into the foaming and kissing
caldron below.

ey a short time ago the Shoddy papers
twitted us with the remark that "the
freedmen's bureau had been put in good
working order, and the Democrats must
grin and bear it."
We'll if the bureau was in good working
order it is likely TO remain undisturbed.
President johnson has settled that ques-
ton by his veto. The Democrats are
highly pleased and can afford to 'grin and
bear it." while the Shoddyites are grinning
out of the other side of their mouths.

CLARK WILSON, Edftor~ & Proprietot'
EBENSBURG, MARCH 1,:::::::1S66.
THE PRESIDENTS VETO.

President johnson has vetoed the bill,
granting extraordinary powers to the
Freedmen's Bureau. His message, which
contends for strict observance of the
teachings Of the Constitution, and is Dem
ocratic from beginning to end, is published
in full in this number Of our paper. The
President defines his policy clearly in his
message, and is still more explicit in q
speech delivered in Washington city, on
the 22d ult., in which he truthfully, bold
ly and patriotically asserts that he finds
Stevens, Phillips, Sumner and others op-
posed to a restoration of the Union, and
announces that he intends to take the
Constitution for his guide and contend for
the restoration and preservation of his
country, against these fanatical disunion-
lists, with all the energy with which he
contcnded against those who arrayed
themselves Ill armed rebellion for the de-
struction of the Union. All honor is due
TO Andrew johnson for the patriotic stand
he has taken. The armed rebellion has
been crushed peace has been restored to
our land, and it seems that by the bold,
Democratic, mastery policy of the present
worthy Chief Executive of the United
States, the Ship of State is destined to ride
safely over the dark pillows of fanatical
Abolitionism, and our country will yet be
restored TO its former exalted and prosper
Gus position. Let the President contine
TO stand by the Constitution, and the De-
mocracy together with other Union-loving
citizens will array themselves on his side
in such a shape that the combined powers
of tanatical Abolitionism and the devil
cannot prevail against him. The Demo-
cratic State Convention which is to meet
in Harrisburg, on the 9TH Of the present
month will endorse in unmistakable terms,
the position recently taken by President
johnson, and its endorsement will be re
echoed throughout every county in the
State. In fact, from every Union-loving,
conservative citizen in any part of the
United States, he will receive the welcome
plaudit, "well done thou good and faithful
servant"

CIRCULATING the Wrong Paper.


At recent temperance meeting,
an amusing incident took place. A
strong eNhortation had been delivered
by speaker present; and the presi
dent requested the Secretary to pass
around the pledge for signatures, and
taking from his pocket what he sup.
posed was the document, he without
looking at it, gave it to the Secretary
for that purpose. A large number
of names were enrolled of both ladies'
and gentlemen present, and the doc
ument returned.-ltwas opservod by
the Secretary while passing around
the paper, that considerable tittcring
prevailed among the ladies who took
the psecaution to read the contents
of the paper, whilst those who did not
read it and who desired to sign, did
so. After going through the congrc'
cation the Secretary, on his way
back, looked at the paper to see wha
was the cause of amusement, whcl
it was revealed to him that, instcat
of the Temperance pledge, he hat
passed around and received sigma
lures to q document setting forth thu
pedigree of celebrated stallion.

AThrnlns Adventure.

Saws the Cleveland Herald of this
morning: 4" While the train on the Z.
A. II. Railroad, which left here on
Wednesday night, was standing al
Washington Station, little child,
who had wandered away from its
parents, stepped upon the platform
lust as the cars were starting and
was instantly precipitated between
the cars to, tho tr~k. below. Inc
frame work. Of the fifst truck passed
over its body without doing any in.
iurv. when it attempted to crawl
from under the train, and would un-
doubtedly have been crushed beneath
the wheels If Mr. willard Mutt Gen
eral Baggage Agent Of the road, had
not jumped from the train after sec
ing il fall, and rushed beneath the
cars lust in time to snatch it from
under the rear wheels. lie could not
tell which side to jump from, and un-
fortunately went of attic sidelarth
est from the child-making it ncces-
sary for him to pass nearly across
the track, beneath the cars, before
the child could be saved. Without
thinking of his own safety, the child
was rcscuedfrom a horrible death
and returned to its parents who were
terribly frightened by the accident.
This is the second time that Mr..
Mutt has placed his life in imminent
peril to save others. A few years
ago .hesinmpeJ iuto the lake, at the
Union Depot, when the waves were
rolling fcarfully, to save his brother
and woman whom he was trying
TO rescue from watery grave. Such
presence of mind, as exhibited in
both of these cases, Is rarely found
among men, and when found they
seldom have the nerve to afford re.
lief under such pcrilous circum-
stances.

Tomato Soup n Ia Oysters.

To one quart Of canned tomatoes
or others which have been boiled
about Is minutes, add 2 qts. water and
boil Is minutes more; then drop in
carefully little at time, enough
pulverizcd saleratus or soda to
nentralize the ,acidity, which you
may know by its ceasing to foam
usually about an even teaspoonful to
Il quart. Then add one quart ofricll
milk, six or eight crackers pounded
finely butter, salt, aud pepper as fol

ANOTHER SKATING CARNIvAL.--The cold snap
of the past three days has given those of our
community, who can enjoy such sport, another
chance to indulge in grand skating carnival
and during yesterday and last night the scene
presented at the various ponds and parks about
the city was literally" big thing on ice," to
use the familiar expression. At Druid Hill
Park, Patterson Park, Spring Gardens, the old
Reservoir en- Charles street avenue, and innu-
merable ponds of lesser size and repute, the at
tendance was unusually large despite the biting
the invigorating and healthfl sport included
every sex and class of the community Old
and staid citizens with slow and careful strides,
younger and more robust persons, who travelled
more speedily, beautiful young ladies who
moved about with wonderful grace and agility,
and boys and girls of more tender ages, could
all be seen mingling in the gay and festive
throng, and for the time the outsidesworld with
its cares was entirely forgotten Gazette.
