A benevolent gentleman. riding among the
Green Mountains, approached a house, in the
front door of which stood baby. whicl, was
shielded from the danger of foreign travel by
a board placed across the bottom of the door

posed to dangers at home, as the gentleman
thought, by reason of huge two-inch NOR
tising -chisel, which the infant brandished
about its molasses-daubed face in most
frightful manner. The philanthropist alight-

HumorS of the Telegraph.

The TelegrGpber tells these stories:
There used to operate in Providence Il
man known as Jack Bates. whose repu-
tatiOn as an operator was second to none.
He was spoken of a man who never
breaks In his office was one of Farmers
repeaters, the sounder of which had lever
nearly five inches in length, and made con-
siderable noise This was situated on one
side of the office, and was connected with
the Worcester repeat-wire. His receiving
instrument was situated on the opposite
side of the office some distance from the
repeater. One evening while Jack was
writing and smoking his pipe, P, of
Fall River, made his appearance, and con-
versed with him for some time, being, no
doubt. astonished at the style in which his
friend transacted business and received
visitors at the same time. Mr.. P in
quired Of Jack how it was he managed to
get all the report without losing a word.
Jack replied in his dry way: Well | do
lose words sometimes. but always manage
to catch them by the time they reach there.
pointing to the repeater.
The following occurred in Batavia. \.
Y, year or so ago: One of Batavia's
bellies entered the telegraph Office and pre-
sented to the gentlemanly operator a COM
munication, and requested TO have it sent.
The smart electric agitator requested
her to append her signature, when she po-
litelv insisted that it would not be required
as he knew her handwriting.
Here is something from the coal re-
gions that deserves better fate than the
paper-hasket The following message was
sent from an office in that ilk few days
ago:
"'P-, -,23d,

Insincerity and extravagant adulation
often betray people into uttering the most
ridiculous absurdities quite unintentional-

MISCELLANEOUS.
Look to Your Titles |

TT may not be generally known that the title TO
i a large portion Of the Real Estate 10 Wood
County Is defective-but such is the fact. These
defects arise from misdescription OF the prop
erty, informal execution and acknowledgment
Of conveyances, unrecorded deeds tax sales and
titles, Judgment liens, irregularities 10 sales Under
execution, mortgages, &c.
Hundreds of mortgages and other membranes
upbn lands remain uncanceled on the records,
although the debts they were given TO secure, have
probably been paid. Thousands Of tax sales have
been made, incumbering lands and lots, many Of
which have been redeemed but not cancelled, but
large number still exist valid liens on the prop
erty sold. Over 500 Of the deeds on our county
records are either enormously executed, or
wrongly recorded most Of the errors undoubtedly
occur in the making Of the deeds, but many 10 the
recording OF them.
In view of these facts, we are preparing, and
have nearly completed, at great expense and inn
mense labor complete abstract Of the title to
every tract Of land and town lot IN the county,
giving the original entries aud purchases from the
/ State and United States, date Of the deeds, kind
Of conveyance, consideration, full description OF
[ the land, where deed executed, date OF record,
/ book and page where recorded, number OF wit
nesses, number of seals, amount Of revenue stamp,
&c.
| So complete will these Abstracts be, that II
every book in the Recorders Office destroyed,
an accurate description Of every instrument re-
corded there, could be procured from our office.
! With these facilities we are prepared, on the
shortest notice, to give all necessary information
and written abstracts Of title, at reasonable prices
| TO all who may desire the same.
with these Abstracts before us, we also have
facilities for preparing conyeyances Of every de-
scrpton, unequalled by any other Office in the
county, and which will be made out by us at usual
rates We will give special attention to remedyinp
defects in titles, removing membranes, procuring
lost Deeds getting original patent or copies oi
same, and periectug titles generally.
Every owner of Real Estate should know the
full history of his title to same, aud that it is cor
rectly placed on the record; and every prudent
man will refuse to buy any lands or lots withou
first being fully satisfied that the title to same is
perfect clear and unmcumbered ; and these facts
can be ascertaned from at a small expense.
Our charges will be as follows:
For an examination of the title to lot or trac
Of land, with verbal opinion on same, from 81 t
So. according to value and number Of transfers.
For a full abstract of the title, with writer
opinion on same, 50 and over, according to numbe
OF conveyances of the land, and labor in making
out same. .
a reasonable deduction will be made to appi
cants for chain of title TO two or tracts an,
also TO attorneys and agents who make trequen
business calls upon us.
