The history of the old Bank of Gene- va, a lisjt pf jts first officers and direc- tors, and of those which succeeded them, and every interesting item pertaining to that honored institution, from the date of its establishment in 1817, up to the present time, how it came to be estab- lished, c&5. r is being prepared at our special request President S. H. VER PLANOK, who has obtained much valu- able and reliable information from Mr. WM. E. SILL, a life-long resident of Ge- neva, and former President of the Bank. To ensure accuracy they have carefully searched thftp-archives, found the origin- al charter, and from books and docu- ments have compiled and put in read- able form a long chapter of incidents re- lating to the early times of Geneva,— more valuable than gold—more inter- esting than anything we could write or gather from other sources. This chapter in the early history of Geneva is being prepared expressly for the GENEVASADVERTISER, and as oppor- tunity occurs, it will be followed by a series of articles on the various institu- tions and industries of tb* place, which our acquaintance with all 1 he residents of the village will secure for our col- umns. We believe the readers of the ADVERTISER will commend the enter- prise. ... In this connection let us add that*we can supply back numbers of the paper, and we should like to know that it is read in every household in Geneva and vicinity.

Mr. Case before coming to Geneva was the senior member of the firm of Case and Mann, of Bochester, one of the lasgesi dry goods firms in that city, and beforVhis retirement was one of the most actNre men in the city. Since coming to Ge- neva he has manifested a lively interest in public affairs, our system of water- works, drainage, the fair grounds, and all public occasions which tend to give Geneva a city-like appearance. This in- terest in affairs of Geneva, added to his genial disposifbn, explains why he is missed in the streets—but we hope to have him here again before the robins begin their song in spring. A Brilliant Social Event. Many Geneva people have been look- ing forward for some time to a social event which was known to be on the tapis, and which swift-winged rumor announced was to take place earty in the present year. On January sixth, anticipation became reality; when Mr. LAWSON B. BELL, of New York City, led to the altar Miss LIZZIE SMTTH, daughter of Mr. THOS. SMITH, of Geneva. The day was all that could be desired, the snow storm of the previous night having made excellent sleighing, and the \merry sleigh bells\ added much to the enjoy- ment of the occasion. The ceremony took place at Trinity church, and the grand old edifice, deck- ed with Christmas greens, showed to the best advantage; and before one o'clock the nave of the church was well filled with invited guests, besides a good- ly number in the side aisles^. Previous to the arrival of the bridal party, Mr. Jarvis favored the assembled guests** with selections from Bolero by Ascher, rendering them most skilfully. At one o'clock the bride entered the church upon the arm of her father; she was preceded by the ushers, Dr. Thur- man and Mr. Eobert Dinwiddie, Jr., of New York, Mr7 Theo.s'Smith and Mr. Geo. S. Prince, of geneva; and while the organ gave forth the light staccato strains of the Swedish March, the party came slowly downjthe able. The groom met them at the end of the aisle and led the bride to the chancel, followed by his best man, Mr. Lyon, of New York. The ceremony was performed in a most im- pressive manner by Rev. Dr. Rankine, and a soft organ accompaniment added much to the effect. The ceremony over, the bride and groom, followed by their friends, left the church; while from the organ came the grand triumphant notes of Mendels- sohn's Wedding March, and from the steeple rang gayly the marriage bell. * But this was not the end; for next came the'wedding lunch, at the resi- dence of Mr. Smith on Castle street. The parlors were decorated with ever- green, smilax, and flowers in profusion, and together with the attractions of youth and beauty a more brilliant gath- ering could hardly be conceived- After congratulations and a general expression of good wishes, an elegant lunch was served to the guests present, about seven- TeaH, The SOth Eegiment N. Y. Vol. GENEVA, Jan. 8,1881. At a special meeting of the officers of the SOth Regiment N. Y. Vol., Engi- neers' Reunion Association, held at the Secretary's office, Saturday evening, Jan. 8, 1881, to take action on the .death of General CHARLES B. STUART, OUB first Colonel, who organized and com- manded the regiment until his health y^^ej^\ failed, the following resolutions were adopted: WHEREAS, It has pleased the Supreme Commander of the army of the Uni- verse to remove from service on earth our honored commander, Gen. CHARLES B. STUART, first colonel of the. Fiftieth Regiment, N. Y. Vol., to promotion in that great army in which we shall all be •eventually mustered; therefore, Resolved, That while we learn with unfeigned regret of the dispensation, so sudden to us his late comrades, yet we bow with meek submission to the will of our Great Superior, as in duty bound we expect to obey orders when \ our time comes.\ \ J Resolved, That while on earth and commandingH our regiment. Col. STUART had a warm place in the hearts of his men, who without exception will bear cheerful testimony to his kindness as a man, his skill as an engineer iif the ser- vice, his patriotism and^ valor in hours of^peril, and the soldierly bearing al- ways maintained towards those asso- ciated with him in the army, whether superiors or inferiors in rank. Resolved, That our kindest sympathies are extended to his widow and children in the sad hour of their bereavement; and may they find consolation in the thought that the Great Commander has served His purposes in calling General STUART away, and that His works, like those of the General on earthy are al- ways \ well done.\ Resolved, That a copy of these resolu- tions be sent to the widow of our esteem- ed Commander, and that we request their publication in papers throughout the districts where the 50th -Regiment was recruited.

The estimation in which the bride and groom are held was very pleasantly shown by the many friends present from • a distance, who joined most heartily with the Geneva friends in good wishes for peace, pros- perity and happiness. The display of presents was very elabo- rate, and consisted for the most part of silver ware of every description. The bride wore an elegant dress of pansy velvet en train,' with diamond ear-rings and pin. A full description of the many attrac- tive toilets might prove of interest, but we forbear, lest amid the multiplicty of silks, velvets and satins we become bewildered, and by some unfortunate error incur the displeasure of our fair friends. • Mr. and Mrs. BELL left on the after- noon train for Washington and Balti- more followed by many good wishes and the veritable \ old slipper.\ . - The New York friends returned on Atlantic Express train in the palace car \Amsterdam kindly placed at their disposal by Mr. Wagner.

The ADVERTISER was in the main cor- rect in its statement last week, that the Geneva Board of Excise were about to be prosecuted for granting licenses on other than regular meetings. We stated that warrants had been issued; which however was not the case then, because at the time the prosecuting attorney had not time to give his attention to the matter. But the excise board were ap- prised of the matter, and sought legal counsel before our paper went to press, hence our report. We do not purpose to be an hour behind in our local mat- ters, and shall report them impartially, wherever it hits—the reader can depend on that. As near as we can understand, the is- sue between the people'and the Board of Excise was joined late last week. Major Bean wul appear for the people, and ex- Judge 'fS O. Mason for the defendants. We are further informed that the sum- mons embrace two distinct charges: one for granting licenses at adjourned meet- ings, the other, granting hotel licenses to persons who have\ not the requisite accommodations as such—we presume in.sleeping rooms, stables, etc. The parties in question are the \ St. Nicholas Hotel,\ kept Mr. Ramsey, and the \ Hotel de Gardner,\ on Exchange st. The issue thus joined is what a layman Would call a \ bill with a ride*.\ In the case pending we understand Mr. Sneibley is not jointly prosecuted with the other members of the Board. The case is set down for Friday next before Police Justice CoNOvER, and a number of very nice points of law will be brought out. Unless the case is too extended we shall try and give a full report of it, even at the risk of being dubbed tb.e \ rum organ\ by a rather sensitive and over \moral\ contemporary.

Peaslee will\ drill a chorus and train voices for the rendering of that delightful cantanta. They have the right material in Phelps for this piece, and as they grow more acquainted with the music they will be delighted with it. There were present on this oc- casion about forty people, and the in- dications were favorable for its growing to eighty. The leading parte will be given out in about a week, or as soon as the volume of tone in the chorus is suf- ficiently strong. In our mind's eye we can now almost foretell the prominent features, and with a single exception it will be fully as good as the one render^ ed in Geneva five years ago. That ex- ception is the lamented W. R. Brooks, Rochester, who took the role of \Mor- decai.\ \Some of the features omitted in the piece here will be acted at Phelps, giving it a new charm. We can only urge our friends in good old Phelps— and we have hundreds there—to give this their earnest attention for two weeks, and they will be greatly benefit- ted by Prof. Peaslee's instructions.

Of Course.—Yesterday, (Wednesday,) afternoon, at the residence of his pa- rents in this city, Salem Sloman, form- erly of Rochester, but now of Geneva, was united in the bonds of matrimony with Miss Amelia Lempert. The wed- ding was kept at the residence of the bride's father, 76 Atwater street. Mr. Sloman is an old Rocnester boy, and was at one time president of the Active hose company, by whom he is held in pleasant remembrance. The bride is wen known in this .city for her many estimable qualities. The wedding pres r ente were numerous and elegant.
