which we have to announce to our
many readers, is that Saur u Balsley
have Just received and placed on sale
one OF the largest and best selected
stocks of wall paper and ceiling dec
orations which has ever been on ex-
hibition in the town of Napoleon.
Those who are about to renovate
their houses and repaint and paper
them, should look the stock over at
this house, get their prices and see
what beautiful patterns are in store
for them. A room we'll papered is
said to be almost furnished and the
cost is only trifie when compared
with the cost Of the cheaper kind OF
furniture. Don't wait until you want
to use the paper, but look around
now, see where you can find the
incest paper, the latest and best pat
terms, and at the same time buy to the
best advantage.

A Revorution ON the Canals.

Electricity is to be applied right
away as motive power on the state
canals of New York. The state au-
thorities have issued a permit to the
Cataract General Electric company to
establish electric power plants along
the banks of the canal Rates are
not to exceed $40 per electrical horse
power for each season of navigation,
but the charges of the monopoly thus
granted will be further regulated by
competing mule and steam power.
With this money the company will
build canal boats equipped to show
the advantages of the new power.
Both companies are subsidiary to the
Niagra power company, and the cleo
trical power to be used on the canals
will be obtained from Niagra Falls
and transmitted all the way along to
Albany. This use of the Niagara Falls
to generate electrical power for trans
mission to various remote points
promises great revolution in indust-
