-Chamberlin. it will be seen, renews his
advertisement in these columns in this

pearanee rs a five column folio. and as
sumes the name and character Of g weekly.
1t is presided over as editors and publishers
by Messrs. Woolsey & Stone. Price $1.25

chatty.
The house of Mr.. Oliver Smith begins
to assume proportions and show the effects
Of thoughtful design. 1t presents very
pretty cottage style, and the masonry Of
the stone foundation, as well as the brick
superstructure-the latter particularly-is
unrivaIled in this locality.
The Masonic hall has been undergo

and it is now one Of the pleasantest halls
in town. Inside blinds have been added,
the walls wainscoated, and the ceiling re-
plastered and painted. They propose to
keep the goat in an ante-room in the fu-
ture.
-Riddell is absolutely heroic in business.
He has just been revising prices and
knocks the chip from the shoulder of all
competitors. Just look at his locals this

Gated. While hard times last such prices
viii do something towards preventing de-
spair and suicide.

The several HsrbOr Improvement
works along the south shore, including
that OF Ashtahuls, will no doubt create
lively bidding when the proposals are called
for. 1t is the wish of Ashtabuls friend
that they may not be gObbled up without
Contractor Mckenzie getting q chance in
especially of the home work.
Water melons haYs never been so
plentiful and fine. and yet so cheap, in
this market. We understand they are
brought from Maryland, via Geneva, by
Gleason the fruit dealer. The market has
also been we'll supplied, all the season,
with Southern Sweet Potatoes-at first
rather diminutive, but now Of good size.
Somebody has sent US a copy of the Bull
htin Of the Oneida cOmmunity-a hand
some sheet embellished with q design Of
their places Of abode, and containing an
account Of the status Of the body, clearly
showing that the dispatches of the New
York Times, representing the community
as on its last legs, as without foundation.
"A bit Of information was gained the
other day from gentleman who had spent
several years in Colorado. It was that
wood petufed in that climate in the open
air, and that he had brought home with
him, portions of branches of a tree from
which the TOP had been twisted of which
were real petrihcations, as was the whole
trunk.
Since the allusion to the condition Of
Sundry sidewalks of the village week or
two since, our attention has been called to
several Others, in no better condition than
those to which attention was then directed,
and requiring equally prompt attention to
make them passable. When the sidewalk
get their hand in the new walk
and repair business, we presume they will
make general and radical affair Of it.
Our military companies left yesterday

into camp for six days. The Sd Battery OF

"A friend Of Capt. Stiles, who lameuts
his failnre to secure the nomination, So
laces himself-as we are all disposed to do,
with the thought that his popularity and
personal together with the manly pO-
sitiOn taken by him in view of the cireum-

He will be remembered with earnestness
and enthusiasm.
We notice that some of the county
papers are trying to do the "Young Man"
q good turn by an effort at "dlsposing of
reports and rumors" of his connection with
certain candidates before the late county
convention. As those gentlemen have
probably had all that kind of connection
and nOtoriety they care for, and are willing
that the whole matter should be permitted
TO drop into oblivion, and as the "Young
Lsw-giver" is himself a dead cock in the
pit, it is not easy to see the evidence of
good taste or good sense in, reviving the
matter again. If the ''Young
