IT is authori tatively announced that EH B. Smith and George Hawkins of Maloue have decided to start a State bank at Chateaugay with a capital of (25,000. It is their intention to have the bank open for business early in September. Mr. Smith is a capitalist who was born in Cuateaagay and has lived there for many years.

Mr. Hawkins u a native of Maloue and was cashier of the National bank of that place for several years, where he demonstrated his ability as a financier and gaieed the acquaintance and confidence of most of the business men of Northern New York, Cannot something of a similar kind be brought about in Fort Coviogton ?

Da. WM. GILLIS, the other day, allowed us to look over a lithographed (facsimile) of the Ulster county Gazette, bearing dare Kingston, N. Y., January 4, 1600, which was quite a curiosity, and a perusal qf a few moments of the incidents occurring at that time immeasurably helped to refresh one's memory in the early history of our country. How things have changed since the days of that period ! Then (Jan. 4) tbe latest news from the continent-ot Europe was dated October 13, 1799, now we on this hemisphere, by tbe computa- tion of time, get London dispatches some* thing over hve boars in advance of occur- rence.

Of coarse the advertisements of that daj appearing in the public prints were of tbe varied kiuds, in some lines denoting considerable business push aud enterprise. We give the following as a sample: \ For sale, tbe one half of a saw mill, with a convenient place for building, lying in the town of Rochester.

MADAME DI ASGELI S WATERS* eoa- cert in Stafford Hall last Friday evening drew out altogether too small a house for so excellent and deserving sn entertain- ment. But this pretty generally recog- nized taler l:d lady can return to her home ia Montreal >v Bed that her listeners upon this occasion c . riaed many of the most respectable and a t reciative residents of this village and vicinity. We have neither time or space to undertake anything like a criticism of ihe varied and lengthy pro- gramme for the evening, eud the manner in which Madame Waters, her pupils in this village and Moutreal, and those gentle- men who rendered valuable assistance oo the occasion. Of tbe local talent who appeared on the stage we trust to be par- doned for making special mention oi a few. The rendition of \ The Skipper and his boy,\ by Mr.. K Richardson was without any doubt his very best effort in tbe vocal liae, and admitted to be so by all who had the pleasure of bearing it. Mrs. Kelsey a tbe happy possessor of a superb eo^ rano voice. Her singing of tbe amusing but difficult piece, u Supposing.\ was received with hearty applause. Flora Cameron, Nellie Parker, and Lily Long, for a long time acknowledged to be the possessors of exceptionally fine vocal powers, and who had been but a few weeks under the skil- ful training of Madame Waters, left Staf- ford Hall Friday evening, we are ceavioe- ed, carryiag with then additional laaiels of their worth and oapabiHtiea. The parts assigned to a»d se ably carried oat by the Misses Maggie and Mamie Denneen—-both voeal and instrumental—«Iioited the biga- est medes of praise from all who wen lucky enough to be present. Of tbe many excellent features of the entertainment carried out by Madame Waters and her affable and talented daughter Lena, a*d those professionals from Montreal who ably astiaUd ber on the oocasioo, we can say no motw thaa their efforts gave gene- ral satkfaction. Ia co&elusioo, we must again express our regret at the small i aall cabin, tt» well filled with ste: Fully forty passengers were on board comprising many ladies, who were in tbe cabin. The shock seat tbe \Princess' a number of feet out into the stream, but she was soon brought back to tbe dock bv •oe or two gentlemen who had sprang out andpulied her in with Ilie tines, meut at this time, as may be supposed, raa high amongst the lady passengers, es- pecially in tbe cabin. The blinding steam bad shut off all modes of egress, the only course being to reach the dock through tbe small cabin windows, which was undertaken and carried oat with alacrity. Eye witnesses say the way in which buxom members of the \female persuasion*' made their exit through seven by nine windows was ' surprising, and reflected great credit apon their agility and courage All, happily, were safely laneed. The u Princess,\ of coarse, was unable to proceed oa ber trip, but the \ Grenada'' soon put in an appearance, and taking so board her passengers proceeded on the way, all rejoiciag at so lucky escape from what might have been a serious affair in- deed, for had tbe break or burst occurred i n mid river tbe consequences would as- suredly been tenons indeed.
