A WIFE WORTH HAvIsG.-Tna Albany
| Alas published the following lettcr written
by woman to her husband in California
| A man who had such treasure of a wife
could not have plead domestic troubles as an
excuse for going to California, and we
think must have been decidedly blameable
for going We commend the spirit Of it to
those wives who are given to repining at the
minor ills of life:
"MY DEAR HUSBAND AS it is some
time since you left us for California, sup.
pose you would be glad to hear how we are
getting along your absence. ! am hap
py to say that we are all enjoying very good
health, Oh the whole. Just at present, two
of the boys have got the small pox, Amanda
Jane has got the typhus fever, Betsy is
down with the measles, Samuel got hooked
by COW the other day, and little Peter has
just chopped off seven of his fingers with
the hatchet. Its mercy that he didn't chop
them all of. With these trifling exceptions,
we are all well, and getting along nicely
| You needn't be at all anxious about us.

,ida eloped last week with a tin pedlar,-
Poor girl she's been waiting for tho last ten
years for chance, and Pm glad she's maj
ried at last. She needn't have taken the
trouble to elope though, for I'm sure | was
glad enough to have her go. She was
great eater, and find the baked beans don't

would dig into pork and beans was eau

was consumed. was in hopes that the

nient, but the wind was the wrong way, so
it didn't receive much injury.
"Somc boys went into the orchard the

EDITORS AND WHAT is Expected OF
THEM WITHOUT CHARGE.-The New York
Tribune says: "Thcre is many journalist
now languishing in poverty, while dozens
to whose success in life he gave the first
impulse, roll by him in their carriages, and
have forgotten his very existence. There
is no country save ours in the world, where
journalists are expected to do such work for
the special benefit Of others without recon-
pense. Generally out of this country, edi-
tors are inaccessible, if not anonymous
they may let you know what they thin k
but not who thinks it. You cannot walk
into an editors room In London or Paris,
and ask him to devote his time and his col
umns to your own advancement or profit.
Here this is done every day, even by utter
strangers.
Half an editors! time-sometimes his
whole day, throwing over his proper work
into the nights given up to receiving the
calls, listening y the stories, ana obeylng
the requests of one good natured friend
after another, who drops in to try his chance
of getting ten times as valuable an adver-
tisement out OF him for nothing as he would
be likely to get out Of tho publisher by re-
gular paying. II he fails, he loses nothing,
for he has plenty Of brass left--if he sue
ceeds, he has used his time to decided adj
vantage. And thus is civliiy abused
thus is good feeling imposed upon.
Many an editor receives several letters in
day requesting him to do this or that to
documents, for the benefit of utter strangers
or mere acquaintanccs, who have no
shadow Of claim To tax him."

SERIOUS ASSAULT UPON SHERIFF PRICE
pY Mrs. RoBISsos.-Yesterday morning,
As Sheriff Price entered the room of Mrs.
Robinson, for the purpose of delivering her
meal as usual, without any provocation or
word passing between them, she seized
brass candlestick with marble bottom, and
struck the Sheriff severe blow with it over
his eye, knocking him down, apd inhicting
a considerable wound on his face. Be-
cause of the necessary discipline enforced
by Mr.. Price in her case, she had become
angry with him some time since, and pro-
badly this enimity, cherished by her secret
ly ever since, induced the assault. I'm
mediately on recovering, Mr.; Price proper
