****************** Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State June 10-1865 The Great Buffalo Hotel. It would seem that all the recent efforts to secure for the city of Buffalo a really splendid, first-class Hotel, have fallen through. For an indefinite period, therefore, travelers who are so unfortunate as to be obliged to remain over night in that city, must continue their grumblings. One of the greatest curses and nuisances that any city or village can suffer from, are badly kept, dingy and fifth-rate Public Houses. The Hotel accommodations (however unfair the comparison,) are held by all the Travelling Public as an exact picture of the hospitality, courtesy and enterprise of the place. MARRIED. In Batavia, on the evening of the 8th inst., at St. James church, by the Rev.. James A. BOLLS, of Boston, Mass., Richard W. HAWES, of Buffalo, to Amanda L., daughter of the late Junius A. SMITH, Esq. DIED. In Batavia, June 3rd, Mrs. Mary REID, aged 75 years. Farewell beloved mother dear, Since God has called thee to thy home of rest; No pain or sorrow can enter there, Nor wake thee from thy Savior's breast. Thou hast left us sad and lonely, Never more to know thy love; Oh; may our lives, like thine, be holy, That we may meet thee in thy home above! Farewell, dear mother since thou hast left us, Our hearts' grief no tongue can tell; But Holy Mary will still protect us, Farewell, dear Mother, Farewell. By Her Daughter. Notice.-My wife Frances Lucindia[sic], having left my bed and board without just cause I hereby forbid all persons harboring or trusting her on my account, as I shall pay no debts of her contracting after this date. A. GARDNER. Bethany, June 5th, 1865. New Hardware Store. New Firm! New Goods! The subscribers would respectfully announce to the citizens of Genesee County that they have just opened a Hardware Store in the new brick block, two doors west form the "Monitor," in Batavia. and have furnished it with an entire new stock of Goods in their line, purchased in the eastern markets at the lowest cash rates, and are thus prepared to offer for inspection as complete a Stock as any in the county. It comprises Stoves, Mechanics' Tools, Oils, Paints, Wooden Ware, Farming Implements &c. Which we will offer on the most tempting terms to cash buyers. In connection we have a Tin Shop, under the immediate charge of Mr. PEASE, who for the past twelve years has devoted himself to the business. It is supplied with al the new and improved machinery for the manufacture of Tin, Sheet Iron, and Copper Ware, which enables to execute our work in the most thoro' manner. Roofing and Jobbing in all their branches, done with neatness and despatch. Robert B. PEASE. Hiram K. BUELL. The Covered Bridge. We believe it is not premature to say that during next week the long needed repairs on the old covered Bridge will actually be commenced. When the top is once removed-a foot-path on the east side made--and the bridge painted and cleaned up, it will be matter of surprise that the people across the Tonawanda, whose families have to cross through it every day, have endured the filth and nuisance of the old Bridge so patiently. Mr. RUSSELL has graded and filled in the sides of the stream so as to admit the easy passage of teams, &c., while the bridge is being overhauled. Fourth of July-We frequently hear the question asked if the "Fourth" is to be celebrated this year in Batavia. We believe no movement is yet on foot for celebrating this great National holiday in a becoming manner. The cities and neighboring Villages have, as a general thing, their money raised and programmes of proceedings published. Will not Batavians bestir themselves in season and take the matter in hand. Andrews' Liquor Store.-The liquor establishment of Mr. Jarvis A. SMITH, in this Village, has been purchased by Mr. F.C. ANDREWS, of Attica, who has removed the stock to the north side of main St., (opposite the Eagle Hotel) and intends to keep on hand a full assortment of all wines and liquors requisite for this market. Those wishing to purchase sho'd call and sample. submitted by Linda Schmidt
