Press DEsTRoYED.-Untl quite recently,
Cleveland, Ohio, boastod of a small weekly
paper, called the Spy, which was edited by
an cnterprising young female, and was
what might be called Every spicy sheet.
Like some of our daily papers, the Spy
/ contained one or two columns of " PERSONAL.
ties, which often gave great offence to
certain persons, whose interest in courtship
for matrluony was damaged by the men
tion of their names and pcculiarities in
public print. Had the Spy been edited
ny man, the luoklcSs fellow would have
been horsc-whippcd dozen times; but as
the sanctum was ruled by crinolinc, it was
not invaded by any of the much injured
heroes of personalities" until the cditrcss
