A CURIoUs PEoPLE.-Some people really have
an idea that the printers are not entitled 10 any
compensation for their labor, and that the paper
manufacturer, the employees, &c, should also
be compelled TO labor for their benefit gratis
Some Of these individuals we know leave their
subscriptions unpaid for years, although the
paper is an indispensable article In the family,
and when il misses its weekly visit there are
complaints and the publisher is denounced as
mean man. II any little job Of printing is re-
quired by the family which will require several
hours labor, the printer is asked TO do il gratis
These same persons, when they perform labor,
or have ANYTHING TO sell, look not only for fair
prlce, but frequently for eSorbitant prices. We
have had considerable experience with some OF
these curious people in that way. We have
even had our paper delivered TO them for four or
five years without receiving a cent, while we
paid cash for the paper and the labor on the
same. and then were even asked to print small
Jobs election tickets, or do advertising gratis,
because they said they patronized US. Whether
they believe that printers are different from
other people and can subsst on nothing and Sc
cure all the material TO -nlighten them and their
have never inquired into. But we do know that
the printing business is a legitimate business and
requires iarge amount of capital to carry it on
| successfully. That the labor performed Is
worth just much as any other, that the mate
rial consumed costs money as well as material in
other business, and that the capital invested is
worth the az zie percentage as that invested by
| the merchant or dealer of any other trade. The
influence Of a newspaper is most beneficial TO
all classes and is the best medium to create
business, and establish the reputation OF a
community, thereby enhancing the value of pro-
perty, and beneftting every one. Whenever we
meet with such curious people who do not wal
to pay the printer, We must naturally conclude
that they do not desire their town to progress
and that they depend on their neighbors tc
enrich them while they delight in their owl
smartness of begging their way Though th'
| world.

SHAVING and hair-cutting in this place has
become n fourishing line Of business. Sunbury,
some twenty years ago, had no barber shop, and
every man cultivating beard was dependant
upon a dull razor for clean face. The first
barber who ventured upon the business in this
town was James Washington, who then labored
during the week and shaved only on Saturday,
that day alone being sufficient to clean up the
faces of his customers. Now we have three
fine barber saloons, among them the old stand
by, James Washington, running four chairs, and
as good set Of BARRIERS as car be found handling
razor-strop, and that pleasant greeting of
james is always heard as you enter his estab-

Mrs, Could, the wife Of an American
citizen long residentin Rome, has
established here a grand charity. The
object il togatherin and giveinstruciior
to poor aud frieudess children. The an
nnal exposition Of the progress made in
helping these frieudless ones has just
been held, and the interest in the work
Increases, both among Italians and
foreigners, Americans and English. Mrs.
Could has now a prin-tipg, and the
pupils are taught'to use il, and with il
are printed various publications suited
to the needs Of the children, and to makk
those needs better known to the general
public. A number of benevolent Roman
ladies and men Of influence have become
interested; and it is hoped that hefore
long one of the old couvents, so lorg the
seats of a life OF sterile asceticism. will
be given as place for the permanent
establishment of the institution.
