Supporting a Newspaper.

We call The attention of our readers TO
the following article, which we find in an
exchange paper, liz regard 10 the proper
mode of encouraging and aiding a news
paper editor to produce an interesting and
useful paper;
"Much depends upon the supporters of
newspaper, whether it is conducted with
spirit and interest. If they are negligent
in payment the pride and ambition of the
editor is broken down-he works at thank
less and improbable tasks-he becomes
discouraged and careless-hs paper loses
It's pith and interest.
But on the contrary, If his subscribers
are Of the right sort, if :hey are punctual,
liberal hearted fellows, always booked in
advance on the subscription lis:, taking an
interest in increasing the subscription,
now and then speaking word for his
paper, cheering on his course by smiles of
| |approbation--w with such subscribers as
these, he must be a dolt indeed who would
noi get up an interesting sheet. With
/ such patrons as these, would lay aside
comfort, leisure, and everything between
us and the qualification of every lauIable
desire on their part.
We would seek no other pleasure than
their satislaction- How much then can
the supporters of newspaper do to make
it interesting and instructive! Indeed,
without concurring efforts on their part,
the publishers attention, which is neces-
Sary TO make it what it should be, is
thankless task"
The MAINE Law WANTED IN New
ORLEANs.-The following authentic state
ment of runs dongs we copy from a
highly respectable paper published in the
Crescent City;
"During the last year there was ex-
pended something near $40, 100000 for
intoxicating drinks in this State $20,-
100000 of this was expended in New
| Orleans alone. There were made about
10000 arrests, directly and indirectly,
for drunkenness, in the city and State
about 400 deaths by dellrium tremens; a.
bout 70 murders, besides a host Of other
! crimes. Over 1000 have been reduced
to vagrancy and pauperism; the resources
of the State have been crippled; thousands
have been kept out Of employment; So
ciety at large been seriously, deeply dam
aged in all It's relations, and the health
and energies of some Of our best citizens
have been destroyed and ruined in life"
A DOUBLE HEADED Plea friend of
ours, DR.. VIM. b. Day, of Fairfax, has in
his possession pig with two heads
which he thus describes:
x have in my possession amal-fo'med
pig, presented to me a few days since by
Ignatius Kidwell of this county. 1t lived
about twenty-four hours-has two we'll
formed heads, separate and distinct, at
tached to one neck-has four ears aad four
eyes when II squealed, it did so from
both months-couId swallow with either,
but could not without exercising the or
gans of deIuliton on the opposite side.
This is certainly singular freak Of nature.

NEW MODE OF FENcING.-It is said
that gentleman residing in Windsor,
VT, has introduced into that region a
method Of fencing, which for cheapness
or durability and efficiency, can hardly
oe surpassed. He procured stakes of .
suitable wood, five feet in length, and
sleeps the lower portion of them in a So
iutlon OF blue vitrol-one pound of vitrol
70 forty of water. This renders them
almost indestructible by the natural pro-
cess OF decay. He then drives thestake,
into the ground at the distance ~ a;ont
inches apart, bringing the tops into a
straight line, and mailing upon them !.
narrow strip Of board, using one nail for
each stake. Among the advantages of
the fence thus made, apart from its cheap.
ness, it is said that s.cattle and sheen
can't get through it, horses will not jump
it, hogs will 60 . good distance round,
rather than climb over it, and lazy
man can't sit in the shade of it,

Human thoughts are lying Teady, --r-

Pins n ont. bells, 20 the sky,
Ever ring your waiting cry.I

Here of envy, here of hats,
Here of good to evil turning, -f
Kindling in the maynard great.

Take the watchman's sleeping arm.

Clothe you for the struggling fight;
You must press through flames of error,
You must toll TO save the right. . r-
Bells of Truth, ring south, ring north,
Call new laborrrs, call them forth.
For the wrongs wild fire is roaring,
And deceit,s dark smoke-cloud rolls;
Gomez full streams of truth be pouring;
Drive the mist from mortal souls.
