ENCOURAGE Your COUNTY PAPER--We find
the following well-timed article on an excellent
subject, in the Sun, beautiful and spirited pa
per published at Belleville, Illinois:
Every person engaged in trade or manufac-
ture, or any kind of public business, should be a
subscriber to at least one of the newspapers pub
lished in his county-all of them, if he has the
ability to pay for all and, whatever may be his
means, or the extent of his business, he should
advertise in each paper that is published and cir
culates in his immediate vicinity This much
each one should do, in view of his own direct
prosperity in business. But there are various
indirect benefits resulting to every citizen from
the influences Of newspapers, which should in
duce disposition to give them all possible en-
couragement and due patronage. Aside from
the character of the matter contained in these
publications, even if man fails to read any of
them, but merely to the influence exerted by
newspapers, in the general prosperity ind in the
diffusion of knowledge by which public bene-
fit arises, in which every man participates.
But how can any man get along in this day
of activity, change and progress, without regu-
larly reading the newspapers of the day! Es-
pecially the local papers published where he
lives, and where he transacts his business, and
where he owns property or aims to acquire
some, and where all his hopes ofprosperity are
centered"

SEIZURE OF SMUGGLED Goo. AND OF THE RRIT1sH
STEAMER NIAGARA.-We learn 1Ivoa, the Roston
Traveller that the English steamer Niagara Of the
Cunard Line, has been seized by Collector Greely
under the following circumstances
"On Monday night last, an officer of the revenue
discovered boat leaving the steamer, which he hail
ed and ordered those on board to lie until he could
reach her. The boat was found to contain a guam
tity of goods, silks and laces and other goods of
similar quality were found on wharf where they
had been landed, in all to the amount of over So
600. The officer having reported the facts to the
Collector, he ordered the goods to be retained and
also paced-ofcers on board the steamer to keep DOS
session until the matter had been represented to the
Secretary of the Treasury. Neither the Captain or
officers of the steamer are it is stated, implicated in
this transaction. 1t is supposed that upon this fact
being established at Washington her release will be
ordered. Some of the crew of this vessel pro-
badly privy to this transaction.
"We learn further, in regard to this affair." that
the officers attention directed to the boat con-
tanning the struggled goods in consequence of it's
having got caught in the ice The officer who made
the discovery Mr. C. R. Sturgis, and the name
of the boatman was Doliver. He stated that he did
not know the names of the persons who owned the
property, which packed in bags. On Tuesday,
the steamer was thoroughly searched by large
number of custom-house officers, but no more SNUG
gled goods were found The goods seized are suppo-
sed to have belonged to two or three German Jews
who are known to have been anxious for the arrival
Of the steamer"
