purchase their goods, and then come home
and neglect or refuse to advertise. We
care not what may be his professions Of
interest in behalf of his county paper, or
what his private wishes, the business man
who acts thus is the worst enemy to his
county paper, whether intentionally or not.
Why? Because he robs his own press Of
that which constitutes its chief support.
These remarks are made with reference
to our own peculiar circumstances. In
common with most of the business men Of
Pomeroy, we lost our property be the re-
cent fire. Citizens of rival town made
us exceedingly liberal offers to induce us
to remove our office. We declined, for
reasons well known to every merchant in
Pomeroy Without their assistance, we
again established the Telegraph here, con-
trary to the advice of friends, mainly to
protect the interests Of those a0ho suffered
By the fire. Under such circumstances
we vainly supposed that we should receive
at least such support as they were COM
PEELED to give to some printing-office. We
neither asked or expected more. What
is the result? We have been told that one
of these merchants has procured his Job
Printing in the East Of the truth Of this
we know nothing; but this we do know;
that if such is the fact, the man who did
it does not deserve the support of any
friend of this paper We mention no name
at present; but merely ask those acquaint-
ed with the circumstances, if they would
consider such an act honorable and fair.
For the satisfaction of our friends in the
country, who might be led from the above
to suppose that our Job patronage is dimin
ishing, we can state that since our re-es
tablishment, our receipts, for Job Worl
alone, have averaged about 800 a month
notwithstanding the difficulties we have
contended against. The loss of small
job now and then is but trifing. 1t is thC
principle involved to which we wish to cal
attention. If we could not do just as good
work at just as fair prices, there might b.
some shadow of excuse; but even this ex
cuse would be without foundation, as W,
are determined to do work of that kind ius
as well, and just as cheap as it can be dom
elsewhere.

might have gone through the boat. OF
course this startling accident created great
confusion among the passengers, and it was
certainly fortunate that il did not occur a
few minutes before, when large numbers
of the passengers were ascending the
stairs from the suppeS table.
Some of the male passengers, in their
fright, crowded into the boats hanging upon
the cranes, which We're soon filed with
people, but they were Immediately ordered
out again by the officers Of the boat. The
ladies, at first, were good deal alarmed,
but on the whole, behaved with commend
able GOODNESS.
The most serious result Of the accident
was in consequence of fragment of walk
ing beam as it went up tearing off the top
of the cylinder, which caused the steam
to escape in large quantities into the for
ward saloon. In this saloon was seen sit
ting, Just previons to the accident, girl of
nine years, named Blanchard, daughter OF
Mr.. Blanchard, shoe dealer, of Brooklyn,
N. Y. She was, apparently, looking at
the machinery of the engine. AS the es-
capped steam rushed in, she probably, in
her fright, inhaled it in large quantities,
causing almost instant death from internal
burns. Her face and hands were also
badly disfgured with the steam. Medical
aid was procured as soon as possible, but
she was beyond their help. Others in the
saloon rushed out, and escaped without
injury.
Mr.. J. B. Flagg, formerly Of Exeter,
now of Saux City, Iowa, who was in his
state room, which was instantly filed witt
steam. He forced open the door, threw
himself upon the floor, crawled along the
saloon, and slid down the ladder to the
main deck AS he went down with hi
hands on the ropes, the scaled flesh was
torn off. He is seriously injured, but i
his life is saved it will be in consequence
of his presence of mind in the hour of dan
ger.
The great fear was that the boat had ia
ken fire in consequenceof the overturninG
of the stove in the after saloon. The dens'
steam, however, prevented any spread o
the fire, and in few moments passengers
rushed in with buckets of water, thus do
ing away with all danger from that source

ow we give the vote mentioned above
JOB PRINTING.

1t is a lamen able fact, but hone the less
true because lamcntable, that not one in
ten--perhaps not one in twenty-of the
newspapers published in the United States
could exist one year, if they depended en-
tirely upon their subscription list for sup
port. Few newspapers are printed at a
less expense to the proprietor than s j, 500
to $4,000 year-very many cost the pro-
prietors twice that sum annually. The
average number of paying subscribers is
not over five hundred, which, at $3.50 a
year, is $75O-less than one-half the ex-
pense. Where does the other half come
from? We answer, from the Advertising
and Job Work. But for these sources Of
revenue, nine-tenths of all the newspapers
in the United States would be compelled
to suspend, or double their subscription
price, and increase their lists of subscri-
bers. From close calculation and long ex-
perience, we are satisfied that paper the
size of the Telegraph, if supported alto
gether by subscription, must have at least
one thousand subscribers at SO each, or
two thousand at $1.50 each.
What is the inference from all this? 1.
That in order to sustain a newspaper in a
country town, three things are necessary.
A good subscription list of promptly-pay-
ing subscribers; good advertising patron
age; and plenty of job work. A failure
in eitherof these branches, embarrasses the
publisher, and will soon cause suspension.
2. That, of the three sources of revenue,
the subscription list is the least profitable;
and therefore loss Of subscribers affects
the publisher much less than loss in Ell
ther Of the other departments. 8. A pa
per can be published without any subscri-
bers, and circulated gratuitously, if the
publisher has good advertising and job
patronage. 4. The surest and quickest
way to break down country newspaper
is, for business men to get their Job Print
ins done in the Eastern Cities, where they

ANOTHER SAD DISASTER ON LONG ISLAND.
The steamer Bay State, Captain Jewett,
left New York for Fall River, at the usual
hour on Friday evening, with about l5O
passengers. At a little after six o'clock,
when the steamer was off Huntington, a
terrible crash was. heard, A few moments
before the passengers had left the supper
table. The ladies for the most part had
gone into their saloon, and the gentlemen
were distributed about the boat.
The crash was in consequence of the
great iron walking beam, weighing from
twelve to fourteen tons, having suddenly
snapped in two in the centre, crashing
through the hurricane deck, the saloon
deck, the saloon stairs to the gentlemen's
cabin. 1t also broke the main after guard
beam, a very heavy piece Of timber. This
broke the blow and saved the hull from in
jury, or otherwise the great mass Of iron
