Walter Brown, one of the moat earnest and faithful minis ters that we ever-knew, who has during the past year filled thei t ulpit at Thomp son Chapel, goes to t. Union. The church there will find Mr. B. to be a good preacher, and a pleasant Christian gentleman. The Alliance Monitor gives the new minister and his family a cordial wel come. It says: Rev. Walter'grown has been appoint ed in charge of the Mount Union M. E. Church. He comes from Thompson Chapel at Steubenville, and will doubt less be received with great cordiality. His accomplished wife and two charm ing children will constitute valued ad ditions to the pleasant society at mount Union. We extend a welcome to all, and hope their sojourn may be crowned with benefactions. • P so ° ° 3 00 580 1 50 800 400 500 100 '3 00 1 00 Business.—The object of doing busi ness is to make money. No man cap do business unless he deals in some thing that people want. Unless he has a clear field and no competition he must not only have what is wanted, but must have it of the better quality, at a cheaper price, or servoit in a better manner than his competitor. Otherwise he will at.- . tract only his share of the trade. Every successful business man must secure more than his share of the trade. Ani in order to accomplish this, cus tomers must be made aware of the facilities which are offered for their ac commodation. Life is short, and it is every man's am bition to make a fortune. Everything is~sought which will tend to hasten the happy time when that fortune can be counted as made. The way is: To be prepared to serve the public, and then let the public knows what you can do, and they may hasten to become custom ers.. The shrewd business man is anxious to secure the first possible or der from every luau who has an• order to give. The earlier the first order is se cured ;he bettor prospect there is of making a regular customer at an early day. 1 1 -- ' b 2w .5 A wan" intending to do business, bay g prepared himself to suit customers, Mist next let every possible customer ki‘ow that he is so prepared. How to dolthis becomes the question. In a very place he may tell the people what he ca do.

It is the only advertising medium that is bought and paid for by the persons whose atten tion the advertiser is desirous of attract- The attention of the subscribers to a regular newspaper is invited to an an nouncement in it without any soli':ita lion, almost without his knowing it.. Almost every advertiser has his theo ry about the proper season for advertis ing. Some say that there is no use Of trying to force trade when it is dull; others say that trade is good enough at certain seasons, and they only want more trade in such and such months. Hence they advertise at that time only. Some regard must be paid to . season, without doubt, and advertisements should be so worded as to be seasonable; but people read the newspapers about as much at one time as another, and if at certain periods an advertisement is not likely to be as productive, that fart keeps competing advertisements out of the newspaper eolutnns,aud consequent ly gives the whole field to the man who does advertise at that time, thus mak ing the dull season in truth a season of plenty. We would not recommend a druggist to advertise "ice cold soda" in January, nor should "arctic overshoes" be push ed with much energy in June, but out side of a few articles which have their seasons, it is admitted by the most ex • perienced advertisers that the,best time to advertise is all the time. —Having ' writes Important Announcement.—N. Q• J. gnellenburg have received their new ,Spring-goods—lt is really refreshing to see enterprize and Industry rewarded, especially when coupled with fairdealing and affable and agreeable temperaments, as is the case with the reliable well known and popular firm of S. &J.

There is no doubt but that a government for the three towns—consolidated—could be main • tained at a much less cost than it takes now to manage them separately. Be sides this it would give the city thus cre ated, an importance abroad which none of the towns named now possess. The population would be somewhere be tween five and six thousand, and one set of municipal officers could manage the whole with • but little additional labor and coat, to that required to take care of either one. Under an arrangement like this it seems to us that the population about the mouth of the Beaver would increase very rapidly, and real estate ad ranee in price from the time consolida tion became a fixed fact. Other towns, located contiguously, are consolidating. and we see uo good reason now why the boroughs we have named might not unite, and plod along together in the fu ture. The first white settlement on the west bunk of the Ohlo, - below Beaver, has, ontil quite _recently, been-Axed at Marietta; Ohio. This is now (Deputed, and the evidesee againglitartetta seems to be ceinelarilve:. Vhireettleirient attiv deb* was madein47,BB. latter of Colonel Broadhead, who. was at the time commandant .of the Ameripan troops In the Western Depart ment, dated October 16,1770 i written to (amoral Washington,states that certain land company from Virginia had crow ed, to the west aide of the river at or near' Wheeling, 'and committed numerous trespasses by hunting and making im provements upon the lands belonging to the Indians, of which the latter made great complaint, and that he had sent a detachment of thfiElghth Pennsylvania Regiment, under one Captain Clark, to destroy their huts and drive them away. This officer reported on his return that he had found a number of settlements all along theliver, from Fort Mclntosh to the mouth of the Muskingum, and elnteding in some instances thirty miles up the- branches. Whether Cap tain Clark ever made any special effort to execute such an order is extremely doubtful, for the soldiers and settlers were in full sympathy with each other, and both believed that the Indians had no rights which white men were bound to respect. Fifteen years after Clark had endeav ored to drive the white settlers from the west bank of the Ohio river, ensign Armstrong was sent on a similar errand down the river. ()wills return ho wrote to his commanding °Meer, from where Beaver now stands, a report of what be saw, and heard, and did _while on the expedition. Here is his report: For Mclnrosn, 12th April. 1785, "Sin—Agreeable to your orders, 1 pro ceeded with my party early on the 31st of March, down the river Ohio. On the Ist instant we crossed the Little Beaver, and dispossessed a family. Four miles from there we found three fami lies living In sheds, but they having no raft to transport their effects, I thought It proper to give them until the 31st inst., at which time they promised to de molish their sheds and remove to the east side of the river. "At Yellow Creek I dispossessed two families and destroyed their buildings. The 2d inst. being stormy, nothing was done. The 3d we dispossessed eight families. The 4th we arrived at Mingo Bottom, or Old Town. I read my In struction to the prisoner Ross, who de clared they never came from Congress for he had late accounts from that bon orable body, who he we:: convinced gave no such Instructions to the Commission ers. Neither did he care from whom they came, for he Was determined to bold possession, and if I should destiny his house ho would build six more with in a week. He also cast many reflec tions on the Honorable the Congress, the Commissioners, and the command ing officer. I conceived him to be a dan gerous man, and sent him undergrou lid to W heeling. Finding that most of the settlers at this place were tenants under the prisoner, I gave them a few days, at which time they promised to move to the east side oftheOhio river,and to demolish their buildings. On the evening of the 4th, Charles Norris, with a party o f arm ed men, came to my quarters in a hos tile manner, anti demanded my instruc tions. After conversing with them some time, and showing my instruc tions, the warmth with which they first expressed themselves began to abate, and for some motive lodged their arms with we till-morning. "1 learned from the conversation of the party that at Norris' town, (by them so called), eleven miles further down the river, a party of seventy or eighty men were assembled with a determina tion to oppose me. Finding Norris to boa man of influence In that country, I conceived it to my interest to make use of him as an instrument, which I of footed by informing him that it was my intention to treat any armed party met as enemies to my country, and would lire, on them If they did not dia perl4l. On tho sth, when I arrivecrwith in two miles of the town or place where 1 expected to meet with opposition, I ordered my men to load their arms in the presence of Norris, and then desired him to go to the party and inform them of my intentions. I then proceeded on with caution, but had not gone far when the paper No. 1 was handed rue by one of the party, to which I replied I would treat with no party, but intended to exe cute my orders. "When I arrived at the town there were about forty men assembled, who had deposited their arms. After I read to them my instructions they' agreed to move off by the 19th inst. This indul gence I thought proper ,to grant, the weather being too severe to turn them out of doors. The Gth 1 proceeded to or Mercer's town, where! was presented with paper No. 2, and from the bumble disposition of the people, and the impossibility of their moving, I gave them to the 19th, and I believe they generally leave the settlement at that time. "At that place I was informed that Charles Norris and John Carpenter had been by the people elected Justices of the Peace; that they had, I found, pre cepts and decided thereon. j then pro ceeded on till opposite Wheeling, where I dispossessed one family and destroyed their buildings. I hope, sir, that the in dulgences granted some of the inhabi tants will meet your approbation. Tho paper No. 3 is a copy of an advertise ment which is posted up In almost ev ery settlement on the :'western side of the Ohio. Three of my party being lauded, I left them about forty miles from this place, tinder the care of a cor poral. The remainder I have ordered to their respective companies, and the pris oner I have delivered to the care of the prison guard. "I am, sir, with great respect, your obedient servant JOHN ARMSTRONG, Ensign "To C`olonel liAnsiA R.' This report shows clearly that Mari etta was not the find white settlement in Ohio ; but whether the first settlement was at Martin's Ferry or at Short Creek —both in Belmont county—remains to be "figured" out yet. Cheapest in the market; all kinds Of goods at Ilibbard'o, Rochester. apr9-2w ,About Robbers.—The Cincinnati Gazelle is disposed to think that prudence would dictate not interfering with bur glars when they once got into a dwelling house. For Instance: "But if the robber is once Inside, and his movements aro overheard, it is worth ene's while to look after him? the case of Mr. Charles Goodrich, who was murdered in his dwelling In New York during Thursday night, would in duce a negative answer in regard to ma ny cases. If the robber is heard down stairs, and the householder descends with a candle in ono hand, even if he has a pistol in the other, he is placed at au obvious disadvantage. The burglar has the advantage of darkness, while the searcher is betrayed by the light which he cannot dispense with. Thus 'tette= to have been with Mr. Goodrich, who was found dead, having obviously been murdered by the thief whom ho was en deavoring to discover. Life Is worth more than property, and should not be carelessly risked for its protection. Let all the valuables that can be carried up stairs be taken thither each night, no matter how much-the trouble; let the (bomber doors be bolted, and there is little danger oftbeir being taken. BAP berg do not ordinarily care to undergo the danger of awakening sleepers by forcibly entering their apartments." In parting with my friends in Beaver and vicinity, I heartily recommend to their friendship and patronage, my friend, Dr. J. W. Miller, as a christian gentleman and a skilful physician. He is a graduate oflefferson Medical Col lege, Philadelphia, Pa., and has been practicing medicine six years. Ills of- tico is the ouo formerly occupied by Drs. McKiney dr. Lawrence, and bis res idence is that just vacated by myself. 1:223 List of unclaimed letters in Deaver oat-office, April ht, 1873: Bert
