The melancholy days are come. A
chap with a scratch upon his nose and
his hair in terrible state of disshevel-
ment, was maunching a dinner of crack
ers and cheese at one of our groce ries
the other day. In rather sad and sub
dued way he said his wife was cleaning

HEAVY MAcHNERY.-Tinker & Greg.
ory are about TO put into their shop an
enorm Gus piece of machinery, in the
shape of lathe It comes from Fitch

Oh when will the "brain pabulum"
come again in the shape of the delicious
white fish Suckers at twenty-five cents
string, caught by idle hands that some
misehieYous devil has set to work, our
soul lotbes. They should be taken over
to the Neses Office. They are good for
dyspepsia and retreating umbilical per-
Ipheries.
We hear of several of our citizens send
ing off to Eastern Manu- factories for pro-
curing carriages and light buggies, re-
mindIng us of the demand for a carriage
establishment in our midst of capacity
and skill sufficient to meet this home,
demand and the distribution of the mon
ey thus sent abroad, among our own me-
chanlcs and merchants.
ERIE CRY IRON WoRKs.-This estab-
lishment is spoken of in high terms for
its business promptness, skill and moder-
ate charges. Mr.. l.. NJ Crosby had oc-
casion to call on the company for the
patching and repairing of a boiler, and
he brings enthusiastic testimony to the
satisfactory manner, in the resp ects men
toned, which characterized the perform
snce of the job entrusted to them.
Spring IS in danger of being crowded
out of place among the revolving seasons.
Indeed, an Ohio spring is little more than
a myth. The too frequent recurrence of
such seasons as the present, only give in
tensity to the wit of Tom Hood, when he
said-"Spring has now set in with all its
usual severity" Summer, fall and winter
areVery passable seasons, but who has
not learned to dread the reign of Spring
l
Contractor Mckenzie will carry ou
the design and completeness of his pleas
ant homestead with handsome iron
fence in front. The grading of the lot
has been very thoroughly done, and the
establishment made more commodious
and convenient by the purchase of two
lots, upon a new street, in the rear al
fording a spacious barn yard, and room
for domestic animals, and affording a
rear entrance 20 the premises.
The editor of the Geneva Times needn't
take it to heart over much, because we
make an occasional draft upon the popu-
lation of that place, for we also, occasion
ally make contributions from our num-
bers for the benefit of Geneva. Mr.. Dyer
Lucas and family, having sold their
homestead to Engineer Hepburn, for g.
900, Mr.. L. has made purchase in Gene
va for 5000, and proposes to make that
place the future residence of himself and
family.
"How is it," enquired a subscriber of
the printer. you have never called on
me for pay for your paper?" Oh" said
the man of types, Eve never ask gentle
man for money" Indeed" replied the
patron, show do you manage to get along
when they don't psy?" why" said the
editor, "after certain time we conclude
that he Is not a gentleman, and we ask
him." "ol-ahl-yes IL see Mr.. Edi-
tor, please give me receipt, (handing
him W and square up your books"
Political conservatism of the real genu-
inc, old-schOol kind, had southern pro-
cliVities, and hardly anything else.
Weather conservatism, as construed by
"Old Prob" is essentially and steadily
of northern disposition. The South is
not consulted, or admitted into the coun-
Gil of the winds. 1t is due to this fact that
we are shivering through the last OF
April, with temperature between freez-
ing and zero. The one kind OF conservs
tism is just about as annoying and disa-
greeable as the other.
Book BMDER-The demand for
boOkbinder is seriously felt in this place.
The trouble, and expense, and delay of
sending all the binding of this county to
Cleveland can only be imagined, by lit
tie estimate of the quantity of magazines
that are taken, and the amount of blank
work that is demanded for the use of our
county officers, manufactures, &c. Our
hope is that some enterprislng and COM
petent young Bookbinder may see this
notice and be induced to inquire into and
embrace the advantages here held out.
The question has been raised about the
propriety and safety of speeding horses
upon the business portion of Main street,
and at hours Of the day when the street is
more or less filled with teams and cross
ing and re-crossing is going on by pedes-
trians-old persons as well as children.
Those who occasionally indulge in this
sport, would no doubt be as careful as it
is possible to be, and would deprecste, as
much as anyone, any accident that might
occur, and they will probably give the
matter fair consideration.
