THE o. v, Ners, upon receivinga new lot
of job type, last week, says, ''we leave no ex-
cuse for our citizens patronizing itinerant
printers and bummers."
Some of the business men of st. Clairsville
who grumble nightly if citizen goes to an
adjacent town to purchase, allow them
selves to be talked into, or duped into
getting job printing done by foreign offices,
some of which so called printing establish
ments cannot print decent Horse bill, when
there are two printing Offices in st. Clairsville
ready, willing, and able to do the work in a
superior manner and on reasonable terms. 1t
is expected of the papers here that they warm
ly support every public measure which will
inure to the benefit of the business men and
interest of the town, and it is reasonable to
expect on the other hand that such mer
should do all they can to uphold and support
the newspaper establishments rejecting theil
interests. 1t is true that we do not "drum
them every day for their patronage, but it il
likewise true, that our business is known by
them, and that we are prepared to serve then
to anything in the printing line. You, who
give your orders for letter, note and bill-heads
envelopes, &C., to drummers and blowers
lplease take notice.

I os last Sunday night, Smith says his wife

lamp with his head He was badly hurt, but
bore it with grin, determined his wife should
never know it. He made another stride to-
ward the fire and fell headlong over a rocking
chair, knocked the poker stand over. and
struck his nose against the edge of the coal
bucket. This awoke and frightened the baby,
and it set up yell, and simultaneously the
little terrier set up howl, and all things con-.
sidered it was a perfect bedlam, to say the
least Of it. Smith was by this time consider
ably agitated and reached for match, gave it
a rake across the top of the mantle to light it,
and in so doing knocked off two three-dollar
vases that Mrs Smith had only bought on
Saturday as Christmas present for her little
niece in the country fhey were now in
thousand pieces He held on to the match
touched it to the lamp and took view of his
surroundings. He grabbed the dog and tossed
him out at the window, and then turned bis
attention t. his wife She was sitting upright
in the bed using her utmost endeayors to quiet
the baby. She sung one measure, and scoided

bruised and bleeding head and nose-and the
hands of the clock marking two. ALI things
considered this was too much. He went to
the wash-stand and carefully sponged the
blood from his temple and nose-put some
white powder on the wounds-extinguishe
the light, and crawled into bed muttering
something about getting up in the u!ght-if
