The Fountain City.

This magnificent floating palacc-one
OF the largest steamers sailing the lakes
made her first. visit to this port last
Sunday forenoon, landing at Humphrey s
dock. She is the largest craft that ever
came into the river, being 222 feet in
length. She found no difficulty in MAX
ing the entrance, and experienced no diff
ficulty i'm winding. there being 80 or 40
feet in the width of the river to spare.
Quite number of our citiZens took the
opportunity to inspect her, and all speak
in the highest praise of her. Captain
Gibson is i'm command. and, in all that
goes TO make up a competent master, is
not excelled by any man that sails the
lakes. He says she will call here regu-
larly every trip going up, and every time
when not too heavily laden going down.
She belongs to the Western TranspOrta-
ton and New York Central Railroad
line. and makes an impOi tant addition to
the lines of boats calling regularly at
this port. She landed couple of fam
lilies, with their household effects, who
came from Buffalo to settle in this
county. We understand that there is a
probability of other coats of the same
line making this port one of their regu-
lar stopping places. The more that comes
the better for our village.

and ere long the tap of the hammer will
be heard again. When work was sus-

and 20 feet on the north side. The walls

be Is feet. The method of letting water
into the canal will be something new.
Heretofore valves have been 1placed at
the bottom of the gates, and operated by
cranks above. In this instance the gates
will be solid. Running the whole length
of the lock, and terminating outside OF

Oblong holes, thus giving steady rise to
the vessel, and doing away with the surg.

method. What kind of valves will be
used to prevent water from entering and

upon. There are two sets of gates at
each end. some 20 feet apart, but the out
er ones will be used only as guard gates.
Water power and Turbine wheel will
be employed to open and close the gates.
The wheel will be situated at the eastern
end of the lock, and a pipe extending to
tie western end will furnish the power
The gates ut the western end will be

wheel is to be so arranged that it can be
used to pump the water out of the lock

in which will be iron posts, to which YES
sells can tie their ropes.
There is one improvement connected
with the extreme western end of the
canal that cannot be Over-estimated. In
the old canal there was considerable of a
bend around toward the rapids. As the
canal was narrow at the entrance, it was
in many cases extremely difficult to en-
ter without doing damage. Last August
the government engineers commenced
To extend the south line OF the canal i'm a
straight line due east and west, COM

extending $500 feet westward. The
north side will not be altered. This inn

channel dredged out, will enable vessels
to enter without. trouble. 1t IS estimated

Had he confined himself to this policy
! and exclusively to the mercantile bust
ness, which he had ample means to sus-
tain, we are confident he would not have
met with failure. The old adage of "toC

lied capital, causes losses which, as ir
this case, results in the loss of the accu
mutations of years of labor. Mr.. La

We pay no rent.
We pay no statesmen.
We pay no interest.
We buy for cash.
And get the largest discounts.
We sell almost exclusively for cash.
And form very few bad debts.
Full weight, measure and quality
guaranteed.
We give more value for a dollar than
any other store i'm town.
Consequently it is stubborn fact that
we can under-sell all competition.
We wish TO state in conclusion that the

The helm obeys the hand;

That sleep In mist below.
At noon we mark the CLEAN

At midnight watch It's bonfires stream

And stin the wind is free;
And sfill as far its mountains. lift
Beyond the enchanted sea.
Yet vain Is all return,
Though false the goal before
The gale is ever dead astern,
The current sets to shore.

And what, though no one steers,
We sail no faster for our hopes,
No slower for our fears.
