| The Independent is the name of neat seven
column folio just established al Cooperstown
by Mr.. J. H. Vallandigham, formerly foreman
of the Courier. In his first number the editor
says: ''The name indicates the paper'e course
on all questions Of importance 1t is not
political plant, strictly speaking, and will keep
far enough out Of The wel-worn ruts of either
party as to be able TO see the good arising from
both" We wish Brother Valardigham sue
cess in his new venture.
The Cando Tribune is respectfully informed
that the Hope PIONEER is not making any
''divy" with H. P. Hall or anybody else, and
| so far as we are concerned its charge in re-
| gard to ''unprofessional and unbusiness-like
partnership is totally and unquallfedly false
in every particular. 1t would be more pro-
fessional like for the editor Of the Tribune to
ascertain the facts before making such whole
sale charges, and we call upon him to make
an honorable Gnende SO far as the Hope PIO-
NEER is concerned, or stand convicted of will
full misrepresentation.

The PIONEER has on several occasions al
luded to the necessity for town we'll Of suffi-
cient depth and capacity to be CT use in case
of fro The present season has demonstrated
most forcbly the necessity for something of
tho kind. Many private wells have gone dry,
and number Of people have been and are
still dependent on those OF their neighbors who
are more fortunately situated than themselves
for their supply Of water, and arc frequently
obliged to scant themselves in order TO avoid
abusing the privilege. What we need, and
what we should haye is all artesian well and
a reservoir Of sufficient capacity to furnish
plentiful supply Of water in case Of fire. The
we'll should be so situated as to be made avail
able to the whole business portion of the town.
We believe that the business nlsn of HOpe are
willing to subscribe sufficient sum of money
to sink an artesian well provided an agree
ment could be reached as to its location. Let
the business men come together and see il an
agreement az cannot be arrived at that will in
sure the town ag;ooea COED pub public well.
We invite attention to the advertisement III
another column of Mr.. J. w. Plunkett, who
designs forming classes for private instruction
III penmanshp and pen art, which he has
taught privately during the past five years, and
been eminently successful in iInparting these
useful as well as artistic branches. Probably
nothing helps young man or woman to OBJ
tain situation more than good penrnanslip,
and in all our largo towns and cities there are
special schools and colleges for teaching this
branch. We have in our possession several
specimens Of pen art work done by Mr.. Punk
EFT which are equal in execution to any we
have seen on exhibition in the best schools of
the East. Surely there are many young men
aud women in and around Hope who will be
glad to avail themselves Of the opportunity Of
fered to acquire instruction In these branches,
particularly as the terms are very moderate and
within the reach Of all. Mr.. Plunkett will
also give special course of instruction In
linear perspective, light and shade drawing
and sketching from nature, and special course
Of instruction on the violin. For particulars
| as to time, terms, etc., read Mr.. Plunketts ad-
vertisement.
