Where to Advertise,

During the past ten years advertise
ing has been much over done in this
country. Myriads of ephemeral publ
cations have sprung up, depending sole
ly for their short existence upon adj
vert1sing fayors. These are secured
by solicitation, the advertiser frequently
prefering to throw away few dollars
than to be bored by the opportunities
of the solicitor. Thus millions of dol
lars have been expended where business
men have no reason 10 expect return
for their money. But yet, when the
subject is considered, the advertiser
thinks of hOjC much money he has
spent III this manner, rather than hotc
he has expended it. We have nothing
to say against these myriads of publi-
cations, which are originated mainly to
catch inexperienced advertisers. If
the publisher can convince the public
that they are good advertising me
diums, they have accomplished a legit-
innate business act; but it is for the
advertisers TO consider and Judge for
themselves whether advertisements on
the inside pages of transitory publ
cations address themselves to as large
a constituency as when they appear in
the columns of established and popular
newspapers. BOStOH Times.

A Freak of March,
BY NErrIE NJ. ARNOLD.

BY EETTIE NJ. ARNoLD.
The who blows through bronze may breathe
through air."l
The bright hours laughed with sunshine
And puffs Of balmy air
Sought for the shy Arbutus,
To loose her matted hair;
All gently, like a lover,
To lift her trailing hair,
And see If she were sleeping.
And kiss her unaware.
The forest thrilled with wonder
Nor guessed, that happy day,
Bun March had gone a-wooing
The lady-love of May.

Judge Williams, of Chicago, on Wednes-

the law should be stretched. He is entitled

telligence renders him but the more dan
gerous. The court sentenced him to the
penitentiary for three years.

a young man by the name of G. w. Barr,
of Cameron county, met with aterrible and
fatal accident, at Girty's Notch, Buffalo
township, this county. While in the act
of snubbing raft, his leg was caught in
the coil of the rope, and drawn two or three
times around the post. His ankle was
crushed, and his leg was entirely cut off
between the ankle and knee. His knee
was crushed and leg broken in the thigh,
and the flesh slipped off so that his intes-
tines could be seen. He died in about
'twenty-four hours after the accident.

DrOwned.-On Sunday the Goth ult., the
body of Geo, Walton Monroe, of Liverpool
was found in the canal at that place. He
had been missing since the Monday night
previous, at which time he was seen in
town much intoxicated. His hat was
found in an alley, but it was not known
what had become of the wearer until the
water was drawn off from the level on
Sunday, when the fact of his death was
made certain. An inquest was held and a
verdict rendered that deathwas caused by
accidental drowning" If the Local OPP
ton law had not have been violated the
young man would not have come to this
untimely end 1t would be well to inquire
''who was guilty of this young mans
death? ?'' Tho deceased was the son of
Duncan Monroe, and was well known in
this vicinity having been born in this bor-
ough, where he lived for some years.

The other day G.. w. Elliot, of West
Pennsboro' township, made good haul of

original. The hole was deep down in a
rock, but by attaching piece of bacon to
a string as a bait they were all brought to
the surface. 1t was during this operation
that the old one was shot. The mother
was also wounded. These foxes had been
committing great depredations in the
neighborhood.
