"Your correspondent would have grown stal-

and sung without opening her mouth; pretty
girl, any way. Well, after seeing her home from
singing school two years, taking her to Fourth

dollars together, he would marry her and settle
down. Years would pass away, and that gil

them up, but they would soon be able to do the

Editorial Difficulties.

Next to poverty, delinquent SUBJ
scribers, and duns, to which editors
are subject, the greatest difficulty is to
please the public. For so great is the
variety of public taste and feeling,
that had the conductor of periodical
paper as many heads and as many pens
as his paper has readers, he could new
er hope to please them all, for they
cannot please themselves. Does he
speak in language plain and simple !?
it is mere common place, the taste of
the learned is not gratifed; it is fit
only for the vulgar. Does he aspire
to elegance, the unlearned cannot un-
derstand, and the learned regard him
as q pedantic fellow, dabbling in what
he has no real pretensions to. Does
he show his colors and boldly contend
for his ground he is too severe. Does
he hide himself behind mass of une-
quivocal matter, he is temporizing
hypocrite. If he publish extracts
which are better than he can write, he
has no talents of his own to display
II he fills his paper with original mat
ter, he might have given something
better from the works of Others If
he attempts to philanthropise, it is dull
and uninteresting and if he write on
plain and perfectly familiar subjects,
everybody knew them before Does
he attempt to instruct, he needs to be
instructed. Does he use his endeav-
ors to amuse, it is light and trihing.-
People are generally fond of being prai-
sed; and people would suppose this
might satisfy them. But let an editor
try the experiment and he will soon
End out his mistake. For such is the
power of envy, that every one viii
hate him for praising others most
people are fond of hearing their neigh
bors slandered but if you make an
attempt to point out either the vices
or follies of mankind, every one will
find something applicable to himself !;
and here again you encounter the ha-
tired of the whole mass. Every per-
son can tell you how to conduct paper
to please himself, and of course to of,
feud every one else. These being
stubborn facts, there is no alternative,
but for an editor to please himself if
he can, and hazard the consequence.
If he do this he will be certain of sat-
isfying one, which is more than he
can say, if he tries TO please all.-Erie

SMALL THIEVES Mr.. Thos. Ham
ilton, a storekeeper in Providence,
Rhode Island, has recently been loseing
bank bills from drawer. On looking
into the matter he discovered crevice
of some two inches or more in width,
running the whole length of the coun-
ter and closed on every side. On get
ting at this there were found nearly a
peck of bank bills in every state of mu-
tilation, some few of them were nearly
entire, while others were separated in
to minute particles. 1t was evident
that branch of the mouse family had
taken up their residence in the afore-
said crevice, and lacking the bedding,
had committed the extravaganza of
making their bed on bank bills, and
stolen at that 1t is impossible under
the circumstances, to arrive at any
thing like an approximation of the
amount thus destroyed, though Mr..
Hamilton thinks it must draw pretty
hard on two hundred dollars. OF the
whole not more than thirteen dollars
will be saved.

Death of Sterling, the Patent Medicine
Man.
The following particulars relating to
the death of VIM FL. Sterling, of Tren-
ton, vender of Patent Medicines, well
known throughout our county we clip
from the Red Bank Standard.
About 81 O'Clock on Sunday even
ing, as some boys were in the vicinity
of Hendrickson's Hotel, their atten-
ton was drawn to covered carriage
standing in the road, attached to a
horse, which from his rapid breathing
and heated and trembling condition
seemed to have been over-driven.-
Hearing incoherent mutterings from
some ore in the wagon, which led them
to suppose the person within was help
lessly intoxicated; one of the boys ac-
cordingly, led the horse round to At
kins' Hotel, and apprised the landlord
of what he had found. Here, one Of
the men, present, proceeded to the car
riage and accosting the individual at
the same time placing his hand upon
the person to arouse him--when, he
started back with horror, on withdraw
ing his hand to behold it, by the light
Of the tavern windows, dripping with
blood A light was brought, when
the spectacle that presented ITSELF was
shocking and painful to behold. Pros
trate upon a box in the front part of
the wagon, covered with gore which
flowed from a wound above the right
temple, and which was literally run
ming ia streams from the carriage-lay
a man in the last throes of death -
The news that pedler had been found
murdered, spread with astounding RAJ
pidity The male members, in one or
two Of the churches, left the meetings
almost to a man, and CONSERVATION,
APPALLING, peryaded the minds of those
who were apprised of the event.
The man, after being conveyed to
the Hotel, breathed with difficulty for
about five minutes, when he expired.

In looking over the acts passed by
the Legislature at its recent session,
we find supplement to the act con-
corning pedlers, hawkers, petty chap
man, &C., which is of Importance to
the public generally and that class Of
merchants particularly. 1t provides
that no person shall sell directly or in
directly, any article not native to the
State, without first obtaining the usual
license from the State and then be-
fore entering any County, must pay to
the Clerk thereof, the sum of $50, for
the privilege of selling, and 81 additi-
onal to the clerk as his fee For a vio-
lation Of this law the penalty is q fine
of $500. or Imprisonment for not more
than a year. The effect will be to
abolish all pedling in the State, as
very few can afford to pay annually
tax of $500 or $500.

Pay of the Census Marshals.

There being some diversity of opin-
ion with regard to the pay of the Mar
shals who viii be engaged upon the
census, we give the following rates !:
The amount to be paid to the Mar
shall is one dollar per thousand in dis
tricts ia which the population exceeds
one million if less it is one dollar and
a quarter for each thousand. The
assistants will receive two cents per
head of the population, and where
travel becomes necessary ten cents per
mile in addition, ten cents for the sta
tistics of each farm, fifteen cents for
each establishment of productive in
dustry. and two cents for each death
reported. The Marshal must not re-
ceiVe any part of the earnings of his
assistants under penalty of $1,000 for
each offence. Five months is the time
allowed FIR the taking of the census,
instead of six weeks, as has been erro-
neously stated-unlesS the last men
toned period applies especially to cit
les.

great reduction in our rates of advertising of one
half the former cost.

THE PEACH CROP There is a fair
prospect throughout the peach grow
ing districts of an abundant crop of
this delicious fruit, the coming summer,
and the present tokens Of an early
spring are making the hearts of the
growers as lightsome and joyous as
though they were in possession already
of the ANTICIPATED plenty. 1t is true
some croaking newspapers have their
stereotyped spring local, lamenting the
probable failure of the peach crop"
but so far the indications are just the
reverse
