THE RICHFORD GAZETTE, an independent newspaper issued every Thurs- day at Richford by the Gazette Publishing Company, was started in 1878. It Is a lively sheet with a growing patronage. Its aim is high and commendable, as may be gathered from reference to advertisement on page 430, where it will also be observed that fine job printing will be executed at fair prices. It is hoped the Gazette " may live long and prosper."


THE RICHFORD JOURNAL, printed every Thursday on a fast cylinder press, is a welcome visitor in many families not only in Franklin county but also in other localities. Mr. Reed, the editor and proprietor, is a popular man of good business ability, who is prepared not only with types and machinery to turn out a good newspaper but to execute job printing as well in good style and at low prices. The " Journal's " card is to be found on page 446.


DR. AMOS ROBINSON, of Swanton, Vt., advertises his new cancer remedy on page 474. The remedy was first applied to a cancer on his own breast, in 1878, with perfect success.

The Doctor refers to Mr. Eaton. Many other removals of cancers from the cheek, lips, nose, hands, breast, abdomen, &c., it is said, have been effected completely.

W.M. SAMSON & Co., manufacturers of Samson's Celebrated Patent Railway Horse Power, at East Berkshire, advertise on page 394. For the past ten years these goods have been steadily gaining in perfection and excellence of wokmanship, and are universally admired, by all who have tried them. One noticable feature about the horse power is the speed regulator, which operates by centrifugal force, and prevents danger from any accident, should the ball be thrown off. It can be set for any speed desired, and the speed cannot be increased without changing the regulator.


F. B. SANDBORN & SON, manufacturers of Smith's Eureka Suction Venti- lator Chimney Caps, advertise on page 524.

Sandborn & Son are also job printers, prepared to execute all ordinary orders.


FRANKLIN SCOTT, patent solicitor and attorney in patent cases, at North Bennington .- This gentleman has probably facilities for securing the interests of his clients superior to any other attorney in Vermont, and undoubtedly is not surpassed anywhere. Of a mechanical turn of mind, he has perfected himself in the art of drawing and designing, until he now stands confessedly at the pinacle of the profession. His knowledge of mechanics enables him to point out defects or suggest improvements in the designs of his clients, and · his immense library, pertaining to patent matters, enables him also to point out what has already been done, if anything, by others, to hinder the success of an application. Finally, his long experience in legal points connected with this peculiar practice, combined with his other qualifications, eminently fits him for successfully advancing the interests of the inventor. As you would employ the most skillful physician to be obtained, in desperate cases of dis- ease, so to secure your financial interests in patent matters, you should employ one who understands how to introduce all the claims made, in such language and manner as will secure the desired rights and privileges. See Mr. Scott's advertisement, page 376.


E. P. SHAW, the fashionable clothier, cor. Church and Main sts., Burling- ton, is at all times pleased to show his customers new styles in almost endless variety. He also keeps hats, trunks, robes, &c., in quality and style to suit the most fastidious. See card on page 410.
