THE Cleveland Herald makes the follow
ing sensible remarks in relation to local
newspapers: 1t matters not how many
newspapers a man takes, his list is incom-
plete without this home paper. Every citi-
zen who wishes well for his locality, should
give a generous support to his home paper,
If that paper is not Just such as he would
wish, he should feel that himself and neigh'
bors are respnsible, in a measure, toT its
short comings. Give paper a liberal sup
port, an active, sympathy, and it will IN
stantly respond to such manifestations. Let
an editor feel that his efforts are apprecia-
ted, and he IS the most responsible being on
earth, his paper a part Of HIMSELF he IS as
sensitive to praise or censure as dot1ng
father Nothing can supply the place of
the heme paper. 1t IS the mirror in which
the town and neighborhood news Is Iehec-
ted; in the social, political and religious cir
Gle printed, it fills place that no other pa
per can. When need Of economy compels
the curtailment OF your newspaper list,
strike off every other one before you say to
! the publishers of your home journal, ''Stop
my paper The man who does not read the
advertisements in his home paper, can never
be said to be well posted. The advertise
ments indicate not only the business enter
prise of the place in which they are publish
ed, but the enterprise of the advertise
! When you see a man who advertises
liberally, you may be certain Of finding a
/ good stock of goods in his store, that he
keeps up with the market, and sells cheaper
than those who do not advertise. If you
want good bargains, always patronize those

afforded through the advertising columns of

in, and under pretense Of finding shelter
under Il large tree, standing two or three
hundred yards from the roadside, up deep
Iayine, Smith invited the mother thither,
and after arriving a, the designated spot,
peeled the mothers brains out with large
stones. and with one blow on the head Of
the child killed it. Many stones were lying
near the victims. with their own blood.
Smith took the strings from the shoes OF
the mother, tied her feet closely, and then
her hands over her breast, lad the child
beside her, covered the two with light
shawl and then left them. Then he went
on to a relatives house, wrote letter and
took gun and shot himself through the
heart. His letter contains this account Of
his horrible conduct ;" Her brother thought
me and Mary had better get married again
for he was sure we were both to blame
(and we were). answered him by telling
him the slate of my health would not al
low me to marry if were ever SO willing
to take her, and did not expect to live
three months. The next thing heard of
them Mary was at the door. i
loved Mary and my boy, therefore l killed
them, and such horrid way to kill any
person. Poor Mary, after had knocked
her on the head with stone, begged me
to stop for she would die at that, and she
wanted to have some talk with me. did
so. told her that did not kill her or
the boy through hatred or spite. 1t drove
me mad TO see her and the boy kicked
about as they had been for the last three
months. She says, " God bless you Frank

In the battle Of Tilissos, April 49,,
the Cretans repulsed the army OF the
Turks, 5000 strong, three times, and f.
nally routed them with heavy loss, captur-
ing all their provisions and munitions of
war. The day has thus become again
historic for another triumph of liberty.
There is story that several Union
soldiers who suffered at Andersonville,
have combined and sworn solemn oath
to kill jeff. Davis, and that the knowledge
that they were watching for him caused
him to seclude himself in New York.
- The New Orleans Republican estab-
lished by northern money, is devoting it.
self TO savage attacks upon Gen. Sheridan,
because he will not overthrow the civil
government altogether, and it calls for an
extra session of Congress in July to act
on Sheridan's case. The general impress
sion is that Sheridan has considerably ex-
ceeded bis powers already, but it is impos-
sible TO satisfy such loyalists as they have
in New Orleans.
= There is singular custom of taxa
tion in the free city Of Bremen. The
government announces the sum that il re-
quires, and a chest is placed in the town
house, 10 which every taxpayer brings
the proportion which he judges it right
for him to pay. The amount Of tax re-
ceived has never failed to surpass the es-
innate Of the public necessities.
- The will Of Mrs. Thwaites, involving
nearly s2.0Oo,ooo, is pending in the Lon
don courts, its validity depending on her
sanity. She nsidcred herself to be the
Holy Gho-t, and declared tina, when she
died all creation would cease. None OF
her relatives were to receive any Of her
property, which TO their minds is the
strongest proof Of insanity.
A Young man at Bridgeport, CT,
whose intended had " set the day." went 10
the church the other Sunday to hear the
bans read, but was Mortified to hear the
name Of another where his shonh have
been. In frenzy he rushed to the fair
one for an explanation, when she eoolly
informed him that he had affronted her
sense of proprie'y by boasting of his con-
quest and she bad accordingly thrown him

in becoming bride she had taken up with

State Conservation.

The Steteccnven,ion at Montpelier last
week was .onescf the strongest We lave
ever attended, and a much larger portion
of the State than usual was represen'ed.
This was owing 10 doubt to The delegate
systsm, and to,this we were doubtless To-
debied for beAer GLASS of men or dele
gates from many towns which have rarely
been represented in State cenrention
during the last twelve years. Take Wind
ham county for instance. In the north
probate district nearly every town was
represented, and the same was true of the
south probate district Of Windsor county.
The first delegate State Convention there
fore proved fine saeoess, and the attempt
10 change back to the old system Of mass
conventions failed by an almost unanimous
vote.
The ticket nominated will prove very
acceptable to the people, and will of course
be elected BY majority according to the
fullness of the vote cast.
Thus the people of Vermont have, this
time through thar chosen delegates, again
expressed their sentiments on questions Of
public policy. and a. usual have given no
uncertain sound, and il will be confirmed
At the polls in September. C,n the ques-
Sion of outrage Vermont has n othing new
10 offer. Impartial suffrage and equal
