E3- Winter evenings should be occupied
in reading, by those whose business does not
call them to other duties. Nine -tenths of
mankind spend more time in positive i4le-
ness (neither in business recreation or need
ful repose) than is necessary. if employed in
judicious reading, TO make them very intelli-
gent members of society. But how many
are there who do not even read a newspaper,
They have not time, or they cannot afford the
ezpense--yet they can idle two or three
hours in day and their entire evenings, and
foolishly squander the price of half dozen
newspapers and pay the subscription to q
public library beside.

EE- Many of our readers will doubtless


recollect a gentleman named John Tomlnsou,
who kept grocery store in this place during,
we think, the year 1851. A short time
afterwards, he started for California for the
purpose of seeking his fortune in the land of
gold. We heard nothing from him since,
until few days ago. when one of his rela-
tives informed US that he had just learned
from returned Californian, that Mr. Tom
linson died at Newtown, Eldorado county,
some time last March. The deceased has
left wife and family residing in Armstrong
county, and relatives in Blair and Bedford
counties. He was generous hearted man.
and always commanded the esteem of those
who knew him. He died in the midst Of
strangers. far from the friends who loved
him. He was about forty years of age at the
time Of his death

The GOVERNMENT ADvERrIsIso.-The prin-
cipie on which the government ought 10 adj
vertise is the same as that which guides
in advertising his business the principle on
which The government does advertise is that
which none but the veriest fools and greenlorns
pursue.
BY law The several departments OF the gov
eminent, including the Post Office and Custom
House, are bound not 10 give over so much per
line for advertising. This rate is suited 10 the
tariffs Of small country papers which. proba-
bly,, were the only journals known TO the ma
iority OF the members Of Congress who made the
law. The rate is very far below the usual rates
Of large metropolitan newspapers: about one
fourth the price which We obtain for the cheap
est advertising we have. Yet. as Il cannot be
altered save by On alteration in the law. either
the proprietors Of metropolitan newspapers must
print government advertisements at one-fourth
the price every one else pay. them or the gov
ornment advertisements must appear in snail,
obscure journals which nobody sces, and which
Gun afford to be thankful for advertising at any
price. The latter has generally been the course
pursued. We have seldom been willing to take
the government advertisements but we have
seen them aftcrwsrd in newspapers which per-
haps meet the eye Of a few score of people
If the government departments arc authorized
70 advertise at all, they should be permitted to
do il in u sensible, useful manner. No man
would propose law that the War Department
should be bound not TO pay over q certain price
for -four, or The Navy Department over Ger
tain price for beef: yet advertising is quite rs
much a mercantile commodity as these. For
our part, we are quite determined not TO sacri.
fee our space TO the government. The United
States arc not yet reduced TO such a condition
that they need eleemosynary assistance: ill
they are they shall not advertise with US any
cheaper than the chambermaids and the board
ing houses. If il answers their purpose TO print
their advertisements where no one secs them. 50
