The Geneva Times is one of the very best
of weekly papers, and we always run over
its pages with satisfaction. The number
for this week has several articles that
strike US as very discriminating, pat and
appropriate, but none, perhaps, appealing
to the thoughtful portion of the communi-
ty with so much force as the following
copied mere for the advantage of the read
ers Of this latitude, being, perhaps, quite
as applicable here as 10 our Geneva neigh
bors:
The building up of a respectable news
paper business In Geneva has required the
strletest economy of management; has in
yolYed constant exercise of patience, for

been attended by pinehing embarrassment,

month after month, without leisure or the

the paper its present measure Of popularity
and whatever of value as a paper it has at.

bas been failure. Ten years Of exertion,
employing a greater number of working
hours daily than any other man in business

The Message.

Arrangements were made last week for
the message and documents in supplement
tai form, to be printed outside the TELE-
GRAPH office. Not arriving in the usual
time for our issue, the paper was withheld
for its arrival; but it failed, and we were
obliged to put up our mails without it,
Thinking that it still might come, no other
arrangements were made, until the conclu-
sion seemed to be natural one, that most
of our readers had secured its perusal from
some other source, we concluded to let it
go for this time, and endeavor to be more
careful the next.

The Geneva TINES is a Republican pa
per, politically, and once every four years,
like most political papers, gets right down
to business. Its readers of democratic pro-
clivities don't like it at such times, and we
don't blame them for it in the least But
the better part of them think much more
Of it for carrying its colors clear up at the
peak, and speaking right out, its honest
convictions, as we believe. Several Demo-
crats-old and valued friends-have left US
because we persist in publishing Repub-
hcan paper, and much to our regret. We
suggest that they can still take the paper,
not for its politics, but for It's other fea-
lures, bearing in mind the fact that, out
of the political arena, it knows no distinc-
ton among men or their business interests.
1t works for all alike in its field of local
effort. Times
The experience Of the Times down to the
fact stated-that several Democrats had
left it's just about that of the TELEGRAPH.
The fiery sort of our Democratic readers
grin and bear with US during the campaign,
and then all goes well and comfortable.
Some Of them tell us frankly that they
would rather have the TELEGRAPH, with its
out-spoken, well-defned, but honest senti-
ments, than anything of the twaddling
character that rides two horses at the same
time. We have lost but one Democratic
through all the heat and hard
talk of this unequaled campaign.

First quarterly number for 1877, is at
hand. It is work of consummate taste
and always comes to US with halo of
pleasure and happiness about it. 1t is a
little surprising that any one would con-
sent to be without it, considering its char
acter and Sizes pages and 25 cents a
year. Wick is paragon in his line, and
all that he says or does is above question.
We know for several years of experience,
that every seed he puts up will sprout, and
there is no ground for apprehension of a
failure, or second planting. He will
please send US our vegetable seeds for the
coming spring, and by the way, can't he
send us chrome?

place, while visiting the geological depart
ment Of the Centennial on the 5th ult., in
company yithgome friends, had her peck
cts picked, losing pocket=boOk, gloves and

of the affair is the finding of the pocket
book and papers on the other side Of the
lake. in Canada.
Since her return home letter was re-
ceived from Smiths Falls, dated Nov. 81,
inclosing the papers lost. The story is told
as follows: The writer states that he heard
of the robbery Of Mrs. K. and another lady
while at the Centennial, and taking the
boat for a trip on the river with several
companions, two pocket-books were seen
floating near, which were taken from the
water. Neither contained any money, but

How .oIIi.ton wasAvoided.


During the severe snow storm of last
Saturday the way freight No. 8, was
showed in" just this side of Rock Greek,
and train hand was sent back to flag the
express train that was then about due at
Rock Greek. The man was given a red
flag, some topedOes and good sized Gin
der, with the instruction to place the tor
pedoes on the track and to flag the train.
Should these precautions not be discovered
by the engineer, he was ordered to throw
the large cinder through the cab window,
as last resort, He had not long to wait,
for the express train came flying through
the terrible storm, and the engineer-Pat-
rick Findley-did not discover any of the
signals, except that large cinder, which
went through a window at his side and
struck him in the mouth, knocking out
two of his teeth. His fireman instantly re-
versed the engine and the train was brought
to stand, thereby avoiding a general
smash up. The express train was only two
train lengths from the freight when it
stopped.
