CAUTION TO PARENTs.-There
are many parents in this city who
allow their boys, of all ages, to run
at loose ends, and thus they arc
left to spend their evenings, and
some very late hours, too, hanging
about the streets, and frequently
they are led into some act of mis-
chief, which, if allowed to continue.
will yet bring some of the would-be
smart ones TO place of punish
ment. AS an illustration, last Fri
day evening, as Marshal Scott was
passing Mason, Luce d Co.'S store,
he saw three boys in the crockery
and boot and shoe room, and his
suspicious were aroused; so he
watched the urchins few minutes,
and was not all surprised to see one
of them take a pair of shoes and
conceal them under his coat. The
Marshal entered the store, and took
the stolen goods from the young
thief, and then taking the boy to
his father, made him acquainted
with the fact. Let this bc lesson
to parents. Look well to your
children. See that they arc at home
evenings. Furnish amusements at
home, so that they will not seek it
elsewhere, and finally bc led into
mischief.

What County Papers Do.

City papers are paid for publish
ing notices of religious meetings /;
they are paid for publishing no
tees of marriage; they are paid
for publishing notices of deaths or
obituaries; they are paid for pub
fishing notices OF society meeting !;
they are paid for publishing politi-
cal tickets they are paid for pub
fishing notices Of commencements
of schools, and for publishing no
tices of Sahath School meetings !;
they are paid a years subscription
in advance. The Government car
ries city papers by the car load
across the continent for the same
postage that it demands of the
country paper for carrying it half
a dozen miles, OF simply handing it
out of the office. Country papers
are expected to publish all these
for nothing and carry, as they
generally do, an average of a
years delinquency of its subsclib-
ers, instead of q years payment in
advance. The country publisher
thrown into competition with the
well paid city publishers, must pay
high cash prices for his paper,
type, ink, and other articles used
in his business. Yet he is expect
ed to make paper equal in size
and in mechanical appearances to
the pampered city journals .-Er.

Another snow storm yesterday
afternoon.
A Georgia editor offers to name
his baby after the inan who pays
the longest in advancefor his paper.
No doubt if the proposition had
been to name the little'one after the
man who had received the paper
for the longest time without pay
ing for it all, he would have long
list to select from, or else the peo-
pie of Georgia pay better than in
this community.
We hear of another big load of

Alpena is also gaining in noterity
on account Of its many advantages
as pleasure resort, while the Mag
netic Springs are acknowledged to
be the best in the State, and the in
crease OF visitors at the Spring this
season will probably be very great
over previous years. The new ba Ii
house, which is now conveniently
located near the Fletcher House,
will he sourse of qualification to
invalids who seek the beneficial eff
tects of the powerful Mineral
Waters.
And, to, our farmers arc not at
all behind in their path of progress
sion. They are preparing to cult
vate every acre of land possible,
and will this spring probably put in
more wheat, etc, than has ever
been done before, as there is now
facilities for its convention into
-four at home.
Truly the prospects are catering
for the people of this county for
1874.
