and failed to continue without rendering
to their subscribers any excuse for nor
carrying out in coed faith what they
promised.
1t appears TO be a general rule with
the news defaulters to silently justify
themselves ofsthe coarse=pursned after
obtaining money under false pretenses.
The names of four at least could be
giveny which have either stopped, chang
ed proprietors or names. and in every
case have repudiated their confding pa

A new paper starts up, presents a fair
face Of integrity. subscriptions are procu-
red on which the money is obtained, it
continues a few months and discontinues
for a few weeks, for want of material Or
some other trihing excuse rendered.
The next move it makes you hear Of it
having changed owners and being pre-.
sented underanew name. and 1t will be
sent to the subscribers under a former
name with a request TO again subscribe.
Ore press answered the purpose Of
three such swindIing operations, and rs
yet in engaged on the fourth. Butnever-
theless it may hold out faithful. A recent
change of name and proprietors is alrea-
dy rclassed in the same company by its
late reputation
Often, these papers have been comment
ced for speculative purposes, 10 advance
and build up towns /; others to bolster up
brokendown politicians, and but few have
expected to render an equivalent in news
for the money paid as subscriptions.
The bad management on the part Of
those who have failed, and disappointed
their patrons ndfriends, has done much
to discredit the existing papers which
have been properly conducted with the
intention Of continuing. la 4srt
Itis often said when persons are re-
quested to subscribe, that they have no
confidence in the continual publication Of
a new paper, and that they are fearful
hat they Will be cheated out Of their
money. l i51aa

The trial Of the murder case of the
Territory Of Nebraska against George
M'Gordon and James Naughty, for kill

Attorneys Chapman and Poppleton for
the Territory, and Howard, Little, and
Macon for the defence; all of whom &C
quilted themselves with much credit.
The jury returned without agreeing
upon a verdict. and we're by the court
discharged. II
5oIt appears from the evidence adduced
that the parties engaged in this murder
were attending a dance in the southern
portion of the city, in what is sometimes
called Irish town, where considerable Ii.

there were several persons in the house
at the time the stabbing took place, which
caused the death, there were no witnesse:
