wages, amounting to $10. the other day while she was riding
home on the car. Strange to say, the girl carried her wealth in

Mr. George Hall, of this city, tells The Guard that his old
home paper, published in a New York town, speaks of the beau

on exhibition in the city of Rochester. The picture is greatly
admired and is attracting much attention there. It seems to us
thing this is evidence that it will be a gOvd thing to circulate the
album of views, about to be issued by the Commercial Club,
throughout the East. The Guard’s year book, printed in handy
mailing form, and profusely illustrated, will also be a good thing
to send out. since the photographs seem to make a better im
pression among Easterners than prosy descriptive articles.
Alomr with the finest climate in the world, we have the most
bea iful scenery in the country, and that fact should be widely
advertised.
