CoST OF ADvERTIsING.-In this, as
in every thing else, the best papers will
command the best prices. 1t is cheaper
to pay IS for inserting your advertise
ments in journal having a circulation
of 5000 than to pay Is for one that has
only circulation Of 1000. Of this you
may be sure, that any journal that in
serts advertisements cheap, is, ia fact, a
worthless medium. fit really were a
good one, it would be no need to lower
its prices, for its sheet would be filled
without the sacrifice. You may lay il
down as rule that every journal knows
its value, and that if it adopts low
prices it is because it is conscious that
ithas low circulation in number or in
respectful ility.-From Effnghdm Wilson's

EGGsTRAvAGANT.-Eggs in this mar
ket have reached the inaccessible price
of thirty five cents dozen, and some
dealers, without consciences or whose
consciences are dead and rot ten within
them, asked las high as forty cents a
dozen on Saturday. We asked one old
lady why this was thus. She laid it to
the chicken cholera. We purchased a
half dozen from the old gal and on
taking them home found that five out
of the six were rotten. We again en-
quired of the old lady why this was
thus, and was again informed it was
because of the chicken cholera. The
hens have been so sick they couldn't
possibly lay sound eggs. If egg.nog is
to be one of the embellishments for
Christmas at the Chateau de Spivns,
eggs must be cheaper.

POLICE COURT.-There was pretty
fair attendance on Judge Goods levee
Saturday morning. The dress parade OF
fusi!oilists, galoots and worshippers of
old Ben Zine were out in force.
James Stokes, charged with plain
drunk, was one of these. Stokes told
US confdentially, that although he
liked his tod, he was in no other way
related to Stokes, of Tennessee, and he
wished US to distinctly disavow, for him,
any such relationship. He didn't mind
being before the Police Court charged
with indulging in . plain drunk; he
could stand the disgrace of studying
ten days in the geological class ia de-
fault of payment of 81 and costs, but he
would be crushed to the earth with

Tennessee.

o'clock, were as full as they could con-

"ornary" they could be. As they came
out of Shapley's saloon, on Main street
they met bevy of sewing girls going

TIE REPoRTER.-From a splendid,
| written article in the Turf Field an
Farm, from the pen of our friend "Trad
Fdleso-w. a., Busbey, of Columbus
we take the following in regard to re
porters. 1t would astonish any com
munity, who generally think report
er's business is to lay bare the anguish
crime, drunkenness and misery be sees
to know how much he daily conceais
Traddles says:
The peculiar power, or the wonderful
facility the professional reporter has o.
locking up within himself the saddest
portions of sad stories, the most pecu-
liar incidents of peculiar life, the
most unnatural acts of unnatural PEG
pie, the strangest parts of strange lie
romances, is q pulling trait of human
character, view it as you will.
Making q merit of detailing every
particular of q PERSONAL history, the re-
porter paints in vivid eolors only what
his instinct, delicacy, or sensitiveness, IL
NAV be, teaches him should be told, and
locks the intenser parts of the nara
tive in his own breast. Policy, clrcum-
stance, the position of those concerned,
and most often kind heart and sensl-
tive and charitable nature, cause the
reporter to suppress always certain
things in his variations, he choosing
from the facts before him such only as
are necessary to produce symmetrical
story or the greatest dramatic effect.
He will tell you of the death. of a fair,
frail woman hint at respectable parent
age family trace the downward course;
shower hard words about the head Of
the seducer; but he will not tell you
that the life was of the girls
own choosing; that she loved
the freedom of the wanton's life.
Well may we say that the story as it is
printed was written to mislead. and
that it does most completely. Seeming
to dive deepest into private affairs, tie
professional reporter or chronicler OF
events goes rarely beyond the surface;
appearing to tell all, he touches lightly
most prominent and most painful
events.
This habit, instinct, or popularity,
creates a sort Of Free Masonry among
reporters, and, after an airing in club
rooms or editorial rooms, story of this
kind leaks out, and the public learn
with amazement that the hero of some
pathetic tale should have been painted
scoundrel; that the romance that was
thrown about the life and character of
the "female soldier" was not half as
strange as the plain truth; that the
commander who was perseveringly
written down during the war, was a
competent soldier and true hero; that
the prosecuted prisoner about whom so
much was said, and for whom 30 many
pathetic appeals were made, was the
veriest hypoorite in existence.

HORRIBLE BRUTALITY
BOY STABBED.
He is Dragged Five Squares
by the Arms.
THE RUFFIANs IN JAIL.

Last Saturday night a man named
David Gervin, accompanied by Samue
Hicks, hostler at United engine house
went into the Sixth Ward Grocery
corner of First and Market street, an(
sold couple of turkies. A boy, seven
teen or eighteen years of age, named
John MGavener was standing at The
door of the store and as they came out
asked them "where they stole those
turkies." This offended Gervip, who
Immediately got into quarrel with
MGavener. This must have been be-
tween 9 and 10 o'clock.
Between IL and II o'clock these men
went to Mrs. Kern's house, corner Of
Division and Main street, and dragged
young McGaverner, who was preparing
for bed, from his room into the street.
where they beat him in terrible man
ner. ....r..
Not satisfied with this, they caught
him by the legs and dragged him up
Main street to First, aud up to Market,
stopping every now and then to cut
him with knife in the hands OF one OF
them, or to raise his almost inanimate
body in their arms and dash it on the
pavement. They then dragged him hF
Market street to Second street, and
down Second street to Main, leavin 8

Gervin told be was policeman
and was taking the boy to the Gala
boose.
The men, Gervin and Hicks were ar
rested, and on yesterday afternoon were
examined before Squire johnson on
charge of assault and stabbing with in
tent to kill. Three of the witnesse.
swore that they heard Gorwin swear he
would blow the young mans brains out
if he didn't stop his noise. Once when
he begged for his life, and caught hold
of an awning post to save himself, both
of the men threatened to pull his arms
out of the sockets if he did not let 60
the post. After getting him loose they
dragged him to the cellar door where he
was found and dashed him against it
most bIutally.
DR.. Reeves attended the wounded
man. He found one severe cut over the
nipple of the left breast, two or three
more on his arms and side, and one on
his neck. None of them, he considers
will be fatal. He says that the boys
body is fearfully bruised and the skin
broken and lacerated from the terrible
punishment he received.
The men who committed this outrage
are both of them married men, and are
great, stalwart fellows, capable OF
striking a terrific blow, either of them.
The examination before Squire John
ston resulted in their being committed
to Jail to answer the charge before the
March term of The Circuit Court, in de.
fault of $1,000 bail each,
The rumor that the men were intoxi-
Gated at the time of the outrage is not
true. They had been drinking a little,
it is true, but not enough to effect them
in the least.

A SKATING PARK.-We heard on Sat

A SEATING PARK.-We heard on Sat
urday that a movement was on foot
looking to the establishment Of a ska
ting park in Wheeling, this winter. If
such park be established and well
maintained and supported, then will be-
gin the era of high compilations, healthy
excitement, and an amusement which,
if not overdone, will bring health and
muscular development to the sexes.
The only question to be considered is
will park, well regulated and under
rules impartially administered, pay in
this city2 The young people with one
voice declare it will. The one here a
year or two ago did not pay because
the young ladies, or most of them, did
not know how to skate. This they say
is not so now, and We heard many Of
our young gentlemen declare that if
park was started, they would take stock
enough to secure its proprietor against
loss, if the ice was kept in good condi-
tion, and the place kept respectable.
We would not like to see any man in
vest his meney in an enterprise of this
kind and lose it, and we are satisfied
that there are plenty of experienced
men, any one of whom will build ska
ting Dark here if thew can be assured
thatit will pay them to take hold of it.
1t is for those who most desire such an
institution, then, to give the necessary
assurances. And they must do it soon.
Already most of the Kinks and parks in
the country have ice-beds formed and
one cold night will give them skating.
