A CoMpARIsox.-As many Of the sub
scribers to theaSehtinslur uro yet considerably
IN ,srrears. we beg leave, BY way OF rehuin-
der, TO give them comparison, which we
: find in one of our exchanges, Between the
= publ:sher Of newspaper who allows his pa
,Pera 70 60, 10 all parts Of the country, before
getting pay for them, and farmer who
, would sell bis wheat on credit; and not more
than a single bushel to any one person. II
any farmer will try the experiment OF thus
distributing the proceeds Of his labor over
two or three counties. with an occasional
bushel or two, to far distant States; fOt bne
':;yeSrYwe will guarantee that he will never,
after that years experience, ask publisher
TO tUPply hih with paper a year or two
without the pay for it. His distribution Of
r,wheat might show we'll on his books, but,
by the time he had taken the trouble to col
lect the little bills Of two dollars for each
e,bushel. he would find that they would hardly
furnish him the means to get in the next
years crops.o He would find, too, that very
.mdny Of his customers would not feel hall
as ready to pny for the wheat, after it was
eaten, as they would have been before
,,Many others would be SO Indifferent, after
having received all the nourishment from the
l,farmer's wheat, that they would not pay al
oil, but coolly request him to send another
bushel when bis mex, crop came in.
II, The man who reads newspaper, feels q
satisfaction in reading his o,on newspaper, as
the man who purchases wheat, feels better
satisfied with his repast, If he kho@s it is
Bad for, and that no duns will come to dis
turb the peace OF that meal. One feeds the
mind tine other nodrishes the body. The
newspaper Is as essential to family as is
,MHeat. The growth Of the body, without 0
corresponding strengthening and expanding
of the mind, is mere yegetatng, and not liv'
ingth life Of manhood. Pay f8r your wheat,
have peaceful meals--poy for your paper
and relish the information you get from it as
something you hive earned--paid for, ant
can honestly call your own.
a STABBING AFFAIR.-A. difficulty occurred
on Thursday last, in school in the north
west part Of Shulersville, in which scholar
named PECK, was stabbed several times BY
the teacher, Isaac ARCHER. The facts ir
the case, as we can gather them from the
many contradictory rumors, are about these
Mr.. Archer called up younger brother o
Peck, with whom he had difficulty the day
previous. for correction, when the elder'onc
seeing the teacher have large stick in ont
hand and knife in the other, interfered.-
Theteacher then struck both boys with thu
sick ana the elder cne with the kni,e, whel
they GlihShed and had lengthy scufle, dur
ing which Peck received several sligh
wounds from the knife. The teacher wa
arrested and held to bail in the sum Of $l5
for his appearance at the next term o
