Support The Local Press.

The following ideas and hints rela.
tive to supporting a local paper, we
clip from an exchange. The author,
be he who he may, has had expert.
ence in the publishing business. We
commend his thoughts to the care
ful reading of the public: The first
step is to subscribe and pay advance
for yourself This you can easily
do. The next step is to encourage
and pers uade your neighbors and
friends to do likewise. This will
help to support you local paper.
Whenever you have anything to sell,
if you are in trade, or following any
mechanical pursuit depending on
public patronage-advertise your
business in the local paper. These
local advertisements are much more
interesting reading matter than peo
pie think. They give business as
pect to the paper, and render vital
aid in its support. Get your letter
heads, notes, receipts. etc. printed.
1t is nice and orderly course of
business, and helps to supbcrt the
local paper. When you subscribe
or advertise. or get job work done
don't try to jew the printer. The
local papers in this part ofthe coun-
try have too much "bard scratching,
to be Jewed down in their prices 1t
is wicked to ask it. The patrons of
the local press would not ask the
publisher to "come down" in prices,
if they knew "tight times" the prin-
ter sees-even when he has to hold
up his head and 60 ahead as if moth
ing was the matter with his financial
basis. This much on the subject of
supporting the local press. The
next thing is to make the local paper
interesting. If you learn any ex
tracrdinary occourrence-send word
to the printer.-When you get into
the spirit of writing--If you can
write short, spicy, pungent, or poin-
ted articles, do it-and send them
70 the printer.-They help make up
the paper. If the printer should
happen to differ with you sometimes,
and throw out your articles, don't
get mad and "stop the paper" Try
again-"Seven and seventy times"
before you get mad. To pick up
a local paper, and lay it by the side
of some city weekly, made up of
the offal of daily issue, and sneer
at the comparative size of the two,
does not help sustain your local pa
per-The large city papers ars full
of stuff you do not care for. Your
local paper is of more value to you
than those city papers. Reader. will
you please think of these sugges-
tion and sec if yon can't do some
thing more than you are now doing
to sustain the local press.

A BURGLAR CAPTURED BIZ Two
LADIEs.-One morning last week
about ten o'clock, Mrs. Jerry Deuel.
noticed that some one had been
turning things topsy-turvy about
tee house, which is on the corner
of East Church and Locust streets.
Hearing a noise in room where
she knew none of the househo old
were likely to be at that hour, she
concluded that some stranger was
there with no lawful designs. So
she set about to catch him. First
she locked the doors and then ran
for help, and thinks she halloed to
a man who was passing. The man
needed not or heard not. She saw
Mrs. Charles ii Ganson and called
to her, and the two went into the
house. Going to the room where
she supposed the burglar to be, she
attempted to open the wardrobe
door, but found it was held by some
person inside She however sue
ceeded in getting the door wide
enough open to see q mans hands,
and just then the fellow sprang out
and rushed past her. But he met
Mrs. Ganson at the door and she
at once collared him and fought
him back, ,--he struggling to get to
the front door, which was locked.
He struggled fiercely, and succee-
ded finally in getting out into the
street by way of the side entrance,
followed and detained by Mrs. Gan
son. Here reinfcrcements arrived,
and Mr.. John McDargh secured the
fellow and lodged him in jail.
Thursday morning the stragger
was brought before Mayor Long
and he was allowed a hearing. A
silver fish knife belonging to Mrs.
Deuel. was found in the wardrobe,
where the burglar had dropped it,
and he is charged with robbery.
The Mayor sent him to Jail in de-
fault of 81 GOO bail. :.
He gave his name as James o.
Donnell, and claims to live in Pitts.

appeal to every friend Of the SOL
diers' orphans, to talk about it, and
aid it in the most efficient manner
possible. to every editor to give it a
prominent notice and keep it before
the people until action is secured, to
every minister to explain and urge
it from the pulpit, to every superin-
tendent to explain it and secure the
hest possible response from his
school. Remit the money as direct

Executive Committee of Green
County Sabbath School Associa-
ton.
The above appeal will receive the
sympathy and generous response
from the christian people of our
State, but to make it complete sue
cess, every friend of the soldiers
orphan must take an active part in
spreading the information and pre-
pairing for the collection, every re-
liglous meeting, and every public
speaker should endorse it and urge
it. Ohio is proud of the record
made by her soldiers. Their or
phans have been neglected too long.
The Legislature ought to have made
ample provision to provide homes,
to support and educate their orphans,
but they did not; let good people
promptly supply the omission. 1t
is grand idea to think of the Sab
bath school contributing thirty
thousand dollars to provide a home
for them.
A dime may do for the children,
but the young men, teachers and Of
ficers should not be satisfied with
giving a dime; let their contribu-
tions be dollars, and let persons not
connected with the Sabbath schools
contribute liberal free will offering.
Every man, woman or child in the
State of Ohio, should make a con-
tribution to this great and good
cause.

See here, Puss Papa's arms are

eyed girl, about three years old. Her
real Eame was Helene. She had
started to find her mother, who was
in lower room and had become
discouraged on tie long stairway,
when about six steps from the bot
tom. Coming through the hall, I
reached the foot before she saw me,
and said: "See here. Puss. Papa's
arms are strong" AS quick as
thought, almost, she sprang to her
feet and leaped from the stai-. j.
caught her In my arms saf;ly and
bore her away to her mother. The
moment she saw my outstreched
arms she trusted me and was happy.

know it, but nv papa was soldier,
and died in Libby Prison, and was

bring these and put them on the

SOLDIERS ORPHANS HOME

During the summer of 1869, the
Grand Army of the Republic deci-
del to establish a home for the o.
phans of soldiers and sailors. Sew
eral counties made liberal offers -
Green county offered one hundred
acres of land, valued at twenty
thousand dollars, and ten the usand
in money. This was accepted. and
buildings commenced, but not fin
ished. Pressing applications were
made to receive orphans im'nedi-
ately. This led the managers to
rent buildings in the city of Xenia,
to receive and support about one
hundred and thirty children, from
the first of december to the Goth of
April, when the State assumed the
expense, paying one hundred and
twenty five dollars for the support
and education of each. Recently
the farm, with buildings to accom-
moda.e about two hundred and fifty
orphans, was accepted by the State.
and the orphans are now IN the
buildings, under the care OF a com
petent superintendent, matrons and
teachers. The farm is obout half a
mile from the city, so that the chill
dren are not exposed to city temp
tations, but enjoy the privileges of
delightful christian home, with the
best of school instruction. When
out of school, the boys will be oc-
cupied with work on the farm aud
the girls with house work, sewing,
&c. The Sabbath school is man
aged by officers and teachers from
the city. Visitors speak in the
highest terms of tho order, atten-
ton and intelligence of the orhans
They attend the various churches,
and alternately the ministers of the
city preach appropriate sermons at
the Home. Those familiar with the
management are satisfied that it is a
blessing to those favored with its
privileges There are probpbly fif-
teen hundred soldiers orphans in
the State. Many of these ougLt to
have the care, influence and instruc-
ton of the Home. There ought to
be buildings to accommodate two
hundred and fifty more, but the Leg
islature made no appropriation to
erect additional buildings. At the
State Sabbate School Convention
many suggested that the sabbath
schools would contribute freely for
this purpose. The Green County
Executive Committee were urged to
appeal to every Sabbath school in
the State TO contribute not less than
ten cents for each member, but lar
ger sums are greatly needed and de-
sired. We complied, and have sent
circulars and certificates to the Off
GERS of the county associations or
some Sabbath school worker or
some minister in every county. All
will understand the Importance of
prompt action, hence we suggest
that in every county seat, where no
action has been taken to reach the
schools of the country. the pastors,
superintendents and editors meet to
consult, and adopt the best method
for distributing the circulars, and
giving all needed Information to
every school. The collections
should be taken as soon as possible,
so that the buildings may be COM
menced by the first of October. We
