for a correspondent ia each town or

literally in cash for such servirc, But
it seems that not many OF our people
are troubled with the scrlbbliug itch,

some misappreheusion on the part Of
those who might become correspondents,
as to the Kind Of service required of
them. We don't expect or desire them
to write US letters for publication, but
simply to write us the news, in their

shape as We desire. We wish to buy
the news of each locality, just as we
would buy any other article, aud when
we have received ii, to use il or not,
just as We deem proper. Now, who
will write to US, onee week, giving US
all the local news Of his neighborhood,
and receive compensa ion for the same,
Don't all speak at once. But let US
hear from you, either lady or gentleman
We want one or more good active cor
respondents in each town or election
district, to report to US weekly, by letter
or otherwise, all the current local news
