the same in substance as the Newport Express,
being printed on the same press and win nearly
the same type as the last mentioned paper. w.
| ID. Tyler ESQ.,, of 1rasburgh, will take charge of
the interests of The Orleans Express in that sec
| ton, and no pains will be spared to make both
papers worthy of universal patronage. Any of
our present subscribers who would prefer the
other paper, can have it, by notifying us of their
desire to change. All local advertisements in
this paper will also appear in The Orleans Express
-Ne'opo'f Express.
The getters up of this Irasburgh
make believe" paper are our ancient
friends the proprietors of the Green
Mountain Express, started at Iras-
burgh some three years ago, and which
was established for the repeatedly de-
clared purpose of running out the
Standard, but which somehow didn't
do 1t. Although they tried hard to
break US down while there and compel
US to leave, they are now very much
out OF temper because we hare gone;
they know that it has hurt the bust
ness prospects of the village, and les
sened its Importance in the State, how
eyer much its pulling "frst families"
and maudlin Honorables may affect to
believe the contrary; paper printed
IN village is of great advantage to
that village, and when the people at
| the present shire are so anxious to
have one dated there and printed and
edited eleven miles away, it proves
that they think so; to obviate their
disgrace therefore as much as posi-
bic they stretch out their attenuated
arms towards the editor of the New
port Express and ask the use of his
name, that the scripture may be full
filled, as spoken in Isaiah Al:
And in that day seven women shall take hold
Vi one man. saying, we Will eat our own bread,
and wear our own apparel: only let as be called
oy my name, to take away our reproach.''
And so he kindly gives them his
name, and the denizens of that enter
prising village think they have struck
lie"
