LOCAL MATTERS.

The CouSTRY PREss--It is a fact that you
IAN reach the country trade and public much
cheaper and far more effectually by advertis-
ng In the standard papers of the county than
~ any other means.ssT The money invested in
expensive cards and costly circulars is capital
unk, and We entertain serious doubts of any
ne ever having secured a customer by the new
angled give aways, or glittering gew gaws, so
avishly distributed by fashy tradesmen.
Theold established weekly newspaper is after
IL the most advantageous medium for the city
lealer to reach the country customer it is read
rom the topmost line in the left hand corner
t its title page to the end letter of the final
word on the last page, and-en tertaining the
highest appreciation of the country editor-we
would observe that the advertisements are as
arefully read, and not unfrequently longer
,orne III reneIn brance than the more edfying
'ontents of the paper. 1t is safe to assume that
he country paper is read by an average OF ten
persons to each subscriber it is retained in the
house of the economic farmer or mechanic from
week to week as matter of reference, unless
oaned to the less thrifty neighbor, who is too
mean to take paper, and too sensible to do
without it whom he can obtain it by loan or
heft.-AnericGa Journalist.

tempting to get from the front of the wagon to

VISITING Schools 1t is the duty Of parents
to manifest some further interest in the school
work than to send their children thither. The
teachers want their co operation. The scholars
need the encouragement of an occasional visit.
If parents talk with their children at home
freely about their schools it is we'll if they visit
the school room occasionally, and seem inter
ested in making pleasant thing of learning,
it is much better. The presence of the father
or mother at the childs recitation once month,
will have a salutary influence on both teacher
and child. Even the parents will be benefited.
His or her attention will be awakened to ques-
tons which might otherwise go unthought OF
for years, and which have practical bearing on
the mind.

And the following 6attering notice of q former
resident of Baltimore county:
ar. l.. Duer, Who was nominated for the Of
fee of Recorder, is a native of Maryland, where
he vas born in 1912, and where he resided dur
ing the war, and up to four years ago, when,
acting upon the invitation of his brother, Col.
John o. Duer, then of the firm of Duer Estey,
and at present cashier of Monticello National
Bank, he came to Iowa and entered into the
EN- Dlov of that wel-known dry goods hrm.-
During his resden in Maryland he was for
a time in the employ of the Government as
gaueer, the duties of which he performed with
zeal and honesty, and to the entire satisfaction
of his superiors. During his residence in Mon
ticello he has won the confidence and the es
TEEN of this entire community. He has very
evenly balanced temperament, is we'll read, be-
ing something of student in History and the
higher departments OF literature, most of his
leisure time being devoted to this sort of intel
lectual recreation. Upon all local and NUM-
cipal questions he is well-informed. In man
ner he is affable and courteous, endowed with
good common sense, is good and rapid PEN
man, has accurate and thorough business hab-
its, and all the clerkly qualifications necessary
for the Office to which he will undoubtedly be
elected next month. 1t is always pleasant to
note the advent into politics OF young men, en-
ergetic, earnest, capable, like Mr.. Duer," &c.
The gentleman above alluded to is well known
in Baltimore county, he having resided for a
long time at Cockeysville, and afterwards was
engaged in the store of Mr.. Chas. R. Chew, in
this place His many friends here will be glad
to learn of his prosperity, and will wish him
all the success possible at the election, which
takes place some time this month.

SERIOUS AcCIDENr.-Mr. Edward Sweeney,
son of Augustus W. Sweeney, Esq, residing on
Charles street avenue, near the Sheppard Asy-
lum entrance, met with a serious accident on
Friday evening of last week. Mr.. Sweeney
had been visiting the Agricultural Fair, and
got on the train at Mt. Washington, intending
to leave it at the Relay House. The train, how
ever, did not stop at the Relay, and Mr.. s., be-
ing DESTROYS Of reaching home, jumped from
the platform while it was going at full speed,
which he says he has often done before without
receiving any injury. In this instance, unfor-
tunately, his foot slipped, and he was hurled
with great violence into pile of broken rocks,
and mangled in a shocking manner. After re
covering his consciousness he manage to make
his way home, about half mile distant, where
he has since been receiving the attention of his
physician. His face is horribly mutilated.-
He has one deep cut about four inches long
across his forehead, his nose was nearly severed
from his face, there being one cash on the left
side extending through to the nostril, and one
down the centre, the two cuts meeting, and the
pieces hanging loose. He has another cut down
his left cheek, and one extending from his chin
to his throat, all Of which had to be sewed up.
There are, besides, other cuts In his face and
head, which are covered with plaster. His
hands and knees were also badly lacerated.-
Although his in uries very painful and Sc
we're, they are not regarded as dangerous. The
most distressing feature in connection with the
unfortunate affair is the fact tn at Mr.. Sweeney
will probably be dsfgured for life.
