The Gazette newspaper entered upon its third volume.

The evidence

• “In the issue of September 26, of the same year, the name of " Tompkins " disappears from the firm, that of " Grattan " being substituted, but no editorial explanation is offered. The paper continued prosperous until April 17, when its publication was suspended until May 15, or one month, due entirely to an absence of the supply of paper throughout the Territory, which obliged the publishers "to lie on our oars and wait the movements of wind and tide till paper could be transported from Buffalo." This paper came, but not until three issues had been omitted, which was the only accident, or incident, worthy of comment until the Gazette entered upon its third volume, occurring September 18, 1847, which event was -appropriately observed by the editor.”
