IT matters not how many newspapers a
a maa takes, his list is incomplete without
his home paper. If that paper is not Just
such as he would wish, he should feel that
himself and neighbors are responsible in a
measure, for its short comings. Give a
paper a liberal support, an active sympa-
thy, and it will instantly respond to such
manifestations. Let an editor feel that his
efforts are appreciated, and he is the most
responsive being on earth his paper be
ing q part of himself, he is as sensitive to
praise or censure as a d0ting father.
Nothing can supply the place of a home
paper. 1t is the mirror in which the town
and neighborhood news is reflected; in the
social, religious and political circle it fills a
place no other paper can. When a need of
economy compels you to curtail your news
paper list, strike off every other one before
you say to the publisher Of your home Jour
nal stop my paper. "-Ec.

IT took two dogs to exhibit the humane
sagacity about to be related. The little
son (age . years OF William A. Smith of
Lexington, Mo-, wandered away from
home. 1t may be Of no consequence, only
we ike to give all the particulars, that
the vagrant cherub had on when he desert
ed the parental ranch. "a wooden coat, and
dark jean trousers. patched on the knees,
of course. One of the dogs was black, and
the other, dark yellow-but that is neither
here nor there. Wen, they searched for
that child they advertised him and at
last they found him in the woods. VIII
il be believed that these black and yellow
dogs had actually made a warm bed Of
leaves for that little boy five years of age
in jean trousers patched on the knees ,
But that's nothing to the statement that
these canine s~uccorers knowing that the
little man must be hungry, had caught a
rabbit for him and when found the young
gentleman was busily filling himself with
raw rabbit meat? We don't say that we
believe this story uut we are tree TO say
that we would like TO.

CHILD BURNT.-A child Of Amos Beard,
of this place, was so badly burnt on last
Thursday evening, that it died in a few
hours thereafter.
The circumstances as we learned them
are as follows;
Mrs. Beard, the mother (who by the
way, is very kind, careful and worthy
woman, had occasion to 20 tOa neighbor-
ing house, only a few rods distant from
own, on an GRAND, onlyintendlngt to be her
absent a few moments, and hence left her
children and this one along with the rest
in the house alone. 1t appears a burning
coal fell off the fire and rolled against the
child. a cotton apron which it had on
caught FIRE, which speedily extended to al
its clothing.
One of The elder children gave the alarm,
when Miss AFTER ran in, and by rapping a
blanket around the child, quenched the
flames. Medical aid was speedily sum
moned, and everything done that skill and
kindness could suggest, but all to nnavail.
Death relieved it of terrible suffering.
The parents have the kind sympathy of
their n~eighbors and friends. -Greeas59rg

that her dress was caught between two
