tune of the Netos. We had hoped to com mence it with new Campbell Press but &C., cidents will happen in the best regulated newspaper offices and however much such a consummation may be wished-devoutly or otherwise-it will have to be deferred for an- other week. By that time we have no doubt our fond anticipations will be fully realized, and we will be able to present to our readers a sheet which can not only be read but which will in some measure realize the language of the poet s'a thing of beauty is @ joy forever"
 It is now over Q decade since the Ne1oS was established and since it commenced career of successful experiment. It is not very long time it is true, but is long enough to es tablish the fact that the Neaos is fixed fact, that it has become part and parcel of the com munity, so to speak, and incorporated into it's warp and wool. It could be no more dis pensed with than one could dispense with his nearest and dearest friend. If it were plotted out to-day it would create an aching void which it would be difficult to fill and which would be felt for years to come. It does not

 The Ne,us came into existence to supply a necessity in this sectio n Of the country. There was a necessity for newspaper here, and the Neos was evolved when the time was ripe, to supply that necessity upon the principle of evolution; and as the tittest alone survive, according to the theory of Darwin, so the Nstos has survived until it has become one of the firmly established institutions of our Country. There is one remarkable fact about North Western Conn which may not be generally known and to which we wish briefly to refer. It is the best newspaper field in the country if not in the world. There is no section of the country from the pine clad hills of Maine to the everglades of Florida, which is so thoroughly written up every week as this. There are score of papers within 8 radius of thirty or forty miles that would never think of going to press without half column or more of correspondence from Ca- nan, Falls Village. Cornwall or Lakeville. Even way over in York state instead of using their columes for local items of the neighbor- hood they find it more interesting to their readers to i'll them with items from one or more of these places. It shows that this is great and prolific field for news. It is in fact the real centre-the hub-of western Connecticut, east ern New York and western Massachusetts ov,a a1% rI may picker about the court house and jail, the day is not far distant when by general consent the county seat will be established not thousand miles from this place, and in this field of newspaper enterprise and of busi- ness and intelligence.
 It is our wish and ambition to publish a paper that shall fully meet the needs of such an exceptionally favorable situation aud that shall give satisfaction to the kind friends and patrons who have so generously and patient ly.sustained us. The outlay for our improve. ments has been comparatively large but we felt that it was warranted by the prospects before us and that it will be generously ap- preciated by the friends and patrons of the Necs
 While we intend to do our best to improve the paper and to make it all that is desirable in local paper we intend at the same time to run with it a frst-class job office. As we said two weeks ago, MT. Thomas has had large experience in the business, has made it in measure speciality and will give it his special attention. He feels confident that he can do all kinds of job printing, either plain, ornamental, fancy or in colors, as well and as cheaply as it can be done elsewhere, and we invite all who have any orders to fill to give him fair trial.
