Country Versus CITY Newspapers ,l,I

The Summit Beacon makes the following
very appropriate remarks upon The subject
Of Country papers: .t ..s.e.- .-agt
Occasionally we meet asubscriber who
complains Of the amount Of advertising in
our columns; and friend who would be-
come a subscriber but for that obstacle.---
Such men arr unreasonable. They all seem
unconcious OF the fact that nineteen out Of
twenty of the news papers in the country
would be compelled to suspend at once bus
Tor the advertising patronage they get.7+-
But says one--and the objection comes up
Just as if though it had not been already
answered thousand times, 81 can get the
IT, paper twice as large rs yours and
without advertisements in its columns at u
less rate than You charge for yours" Yes,
sir, you can, But that paper prlnts thous-
ands where and while We print hundreds
By means Of its steam press, it prints of
thousands while we are printing hundreds;
then the same matter wrrked up and print.

Few ofthe tAass of journals enjoy such q
monopoly Disadvantages, and it can only be
commanded in large cities. .gs4t H
But when you get your mammoth sheet
with its mammoth provisions for frittering
away the minds of young and old, how
much wiser are you as to The general news
Of the day, and more especially the local. in
telligence which relates to matters affecting
you personally; ..transpiring inss your very
midst, of moment to you and yours in every
point of view? Take the question with you
and think oft 1t is admitted on all hands
that free press is safeguard tothe coun-
try; that journal which convey to us intel
ligencr OF events that spring up in our midst
those over which NE have control--as well
as those transpiring abroad, over which we
have no CONTROLS one that presents the
strongest claims to your confidence and sup
port. We hold it 10 be the duty, of every
good citizen 10 support his county paper,Tg-
Ii he can take more than one he may with
propriety 90 abroad for the second; but il
he can take but one, the local paper should
always receive the preference. Its adyer-
tisemenls themselves often contain matter
that interests every class Of community and
every member of family. The local pa"
per shonld aim to furnish a fair compendium
Of both the local and the general news the

lNFAMY HERE--lMM0RTALIrY THERE The
editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer says
The British press is ju now extrava-
giant, in its eulogies of 81. George Cockburn,
Yho lately deceased, at an advanced age.
The broad Atlantic i. not wider than is the
contrast between the fame of Sir George
here and Sir George there. 1t recounts,
with much boasting, the marauding in the
Chesapeake Bay, and glorfes Sir George
Cockburn for his share in the destruction of
between G2,O0O,o00 and f3,O0O,OOO of
public property at Washington, which it
calls a 'sPlrndid acRieOemem.' For this,
more than all his other exploits, Admiral
Cockburn was loaded with honors by his
sovereign and by successive pariaments;
and for this, more than for anything else,
he will be honored with place among the
great at Westminster Abbey. On this side
Of the Atlantic, however, he has long sin ,e
securs an Immortality of infamy for his
vandaI deeds at Washington, and for the
cruelties perpetrated BY hin along the
Chesapeake, during the war Of 1919" ''

Fast Woman

A young woman who gave her name as
Ellie Weldon, was arrested in N. Y, on
Monday night, having in her possession a
horse and gig, which she, consequently,
confessed having stolen from the front II
one of the Broadway hotels. She was
quite intoxicated, and the vehicle was al.
most wreck, it having been run, into by an
omnibus, but she was lietsisting in attempt
ing to make the horse drag Il along through
Church streetby one shaft. SHE was, lock:
ed up to await examination. This is d
practical illustration of woman's rights. 4

Novel Locomotive.

There has Just been completed at South
Boston, locomotive called the "Texas,
constructed on most novel design, aud
intended, it is thought, to work an entire
change in the manner Of making locomO-
tiyes. 1t weighs about thirteen tons, with
the tender which is connected with it; the
boiler and take being placed on the same
frame. 1t has but four wheels, and those
ar hollow drivers, and are placed one pair
in front of the boiler, and one pair under
the tank. The cylenders are 24 inches in
diameter, and are outside connections. The
power, instead Of being applied directly to
the drivers by connecting 70 IS as is usual,
is applied TO the top of an upright beam
placed Just in front of the fire box on eth
er side of the boiler. From the top of this
beam, which moves about l5 degrees on
a heavy pivot, runs a rod to the back driver,
and from the bottom runs a rod to the front
driver. The boiler sets quite low while the
tank hangs below the wheels. The link is
also of most novel construction, and is said
TO be a most important improvement, the
link working between the block, instead of
the block between the link. As no patent
has been taken or is intended TO be taken,
leave has already been given other manu-
hcturers to adopt this link, and II will prob
ably come into general use 4
The advantages derived by the novel
construction Of the locomotive, are the ease
with which great power can be applied, and
the great gain made in bringing the Who'll
| weight of The ingine and tender to aid in
drawing heavy load. 1t is said that u
| thirteen ton en- CINE, built on the new model.
can do the same work as twenty ton en-
gine built so that the power is applied to
the drivers at the fire box. The result
will of course be great diminution in the
expense ofprocuring motive power for our
railroads. The design as we have before
remarked is wholly original, nothing of the
kind ever having been attempted before.
The locomotive when completed is for -
road in Texas. There is also in process of
construction four others after the same mode,
intended for a road in Pennsylvania.
On Saturday, with view Of testing the
capabilities of the engine, Texas" was at
tached to heavy freight train consisting
of fourteen long cars. 1t drew them with
the greatest ease from South Bfaintree to
Boston making the time allotted to the train
to second. This train, which is one of
the heaviest on the roal, is usually drawn
by a twenty-five ton locomotive. The re-
suit Of the experiment is deemed conclusive
that the locomotive will prove in every res
pect successful and that "a twelve ton engine
can, when built after the new plan, do the
work of twent, ton engine Of the old
model.

THE ACCIDENT TO GEN. PIERcE-The papers
are filled with statements relating TO this sad
occurrence, the substance of which we gave last
week. The Rev. Mr., Fuller who was on the
train, gave an interesting account Of it in the
Mirror, which our space will not permit us to
copy. Gen. Pierce and lady were taken to the
Andover Aims House, as was also the body of
the boy. On Monday, the funeral services were
held at the house of Mr.. Aiken, whose wife is a
sister of Mrs. Pierce, from which place the body
was taken to Concord by an extra train, and de-
posted in the cemetery beside that of his broth.
er. On the arrival of the train at Concord,
many of the citizens were gathered at the De-
pot. Universal sadness overspread the town.
Neither Gen. Pierce nor his wife were very
much injured by the accident.
Several persons in this vicinity suffered inju-
ry. Mr. Fish has nearly recovered, although he
was much bruised. Mr. Neale also is fast re-
covering from sprained leg. Mr.. Stevens, bar
ting in the rear of the cars. After receiving the
first shock, and discovering the fore end of the
car smashing, he knew nothing more until he
was buried beneath the wreck. His injury was
not serious. We are informed that Mr. E. A.
Baily, ofDunbarton, has died of his injury.
There are various conjectures as to the cause
OF the accident. 1t did not as first stated arise
from the breaking of the axle, but probably
from the breaking Of the hange or rim of the
wheel in turning the curve. The fore end of
the car was the first off the track. 1t passed
down the embankment over the heavy rocks
crashing it frightfully, while the momentum
threw the rear end entirely round

sSy- The Grand Rapids Enquirer contains
certain structures intended for the article we
published a short time since in favor of the
Oakland and Ottawa Railroad project. These
structures however give us no particular cause
of offense. Our disnterestedness" it is true
is interrogated. Now we have never disclaimed
feeling an interest in the measure we advocated.
On the contrary we have deep interest in its
success but it is an interest which we share
equally with the whole people of Grand River
valley. 1t is only when we think we discover
a manifest disposition to shove aside the just
claims of others for the purpose of promoting
selfish objects that we cry out. Although we
spoke in favor of measure which can not be
otherwise than q matter Of interest to us, yet
it was in a case where we could without any
great danger of mourning well substantiated
charge of hypocrisy, assert our freedom from
purely selfish impulses, and where we could with
a good grace impugn the motives of such as
might attempt to magnify into paramount i'm
portance comparatively local measure. But
as this article in the Enquirer is principally
spent in justifying its previous advocacy of a
General Railroad law, we can find but little, if
anything about which to quarrel. We have
never opposed the passage of such law. Gen.
eral laws save much legislation, and are in keep
ing with the democratic spirit. All we ask, or
ever asked, is that the Grand River Press do its
whole duty in promulgating full and correct
knowledge of the resources and wants of every
locality, and that it give just prominence to
such measures as promise the greatest good to
the greatest number
