Country NeyYspapers.

The Cleveland Herald makes the follow
ing truthful observation concerning country
papers, and the duty of giving them whole
some support:
'Fhe local paper is an absolute necessity
to the county and community where it is
published. All the city papers cannot sup
ply the place of the home paper. That
should be the first love of every man and
women, for with the paper is the locality
identified. The paper gives the county and
town where printed much of their import.
anee in the world, and gives in detail the
local news, which cannot be gained by any
other source. Every weeks issue of the
paper is so much local history, and the rise,
growth and development Ct the town and
county can be measured and recorded only
Dy the local newspaper that constantly is
gathering its items. People do not proper
ly appreciate their homo newspaper. They
measure the value of paper too much by
the number of columns it contains. The
home paper at any price is the cheapest pa
per one can take, for in it is to be found the
| information to be obtained from no other
source.
Another thing to be taken into consider.
alton. Every county has one or more news,
papers. Hence, circulation of each paper
must be limited. There is therefore the
greatest need of activity and interest on the
part of the people to give their own good
paper vigorous and substantial support"

Jail Delivery.

Last Wednesday morning about s o'clock
four prisoners ali negroes, escaped from the
county Jail. Mr.. James Taylor, the jailor,
went into the room where the prisoners
were confined for the purpose of removing
slop buckets, when he was seized and vic.
lentlY hurled tito corner and a rush was
made for the door, then the street, and then
for parts unknown The alarm was instant.
~ given, and in hst haste the jailor pursued
the. fugitives, and succeeded in capturing
one of them; the others making good their
escape. We give the names of the parties
Cyrus Read, charged with breaking lock
and attempt TO commit theft
Dennis Dalton, stealing shawl from VIM
Goforth
Tom Acre, larceny. His wind was moi
good enough, SO he darted into an clubhouse
on the premises of Dr. Nelson and was cap
tured by the jailor, and returned to his bed
and board.

From the Louisville Courier Journal we
clip the following good ones:
A Radical ex Congressman of Pennsylva.
MIA writes to q country paper in that State ::
" In your local notice last week the types
made you say that l had gone to He'll,
whereas, had only gone to Hull Please
make the correction" If it were we, we
should do nothing of the sort The thing
should stand just as it is, for although it may
be a mistake now, it won't be after a while
The newspaper editors who are constant
ly using such words as "fisastered, loco
noting ''railroaditieis," and the like, to-
gether with such expressions as funeral
obsequies," ought to be put to breaking rock
that has been soaked in hitroglycerine
A correspondent of the Chicago Post says
that another correspondent of that paper, in
speaking of John A. Logan, mistook him
for Major Mudd. When we'll soaked in
whisky, as dirty fellow as Logan may very
well be mistaken for mud.
"Pittsburg," says the Atlanta Sun, -" Is
pronounced the healthiest city in America -
No wonder it is. The people there are so
thoroughly coated with coaLdust and smoke
that Death oaR never find the man he wants
The public funds of Alabama aIe now

editor, and, of course, isn't sufficiently ia.

About the 18th ofJanuary, ult, Mr.. Chas
Davis, an old man of seventy years, who
was living with his son-in-law, Willis Vim
cen, who resides in the 18th District, and
about four miles from Hatehie river, went
out to feed some hogs, and from that day to
this nothing has been seen or heard of the
old man, who at times was somewhat Eighty
in his mind. Diligent search was made
from day to day, but no traces of the miss
ing one could be found until few days
since, when NJ. James Coburn, while float.
ing down the stream in his canoe about
just above Neelys old saw. mill, discovered
hat and coat stuck under the roots of a
beech tree, near the waters edge. On ex-
animation they proved to have belonged to
Mr.. Davis, and the presumption is that the
old man drowned himself In the river, as
he was Heard to remark few days prior to
his disappearance, that be was tired of liv-
ing As soon as the present rise in the river
| subsidies, diligent search will be made to
recover the body in the vicinity where the
coat and hat were found. As. Mr. Davis,
when he left the house, had a rope with
him, it is thought that, in order to make the
rash act of self-destruction doubly sure he
tied rock to his own neck and then
plunged into the river The above facts
and suppositions were given US by an old
subscriber, in whom implicit confidence
can be placed.
