Special to the Star.
DAYTON, o., Jan. 12.-There was quite
lively scene in the Probate Courtroom
yesterday. A dispute arose between
Ex-Judge McKenny and Elihu Thomp-
son, who were opposing counsel in the
case on trial. 1t is stated that Judge
McKenny made an attempt to impeach
the the testimony of one OF Thompson's
witnesses, which offended the latter, who
then made threatening movement with
a chair against his opponent. Mckenny
seized the chair, and then catching
Thompson by the beard and throat push
ed HIM backward to the wall, and would
have injured him severely perhaps il
persons standing by had not interfered.
Both parties apOlogized to the Court and
were not fined for contempt.
A concert will be given by the Phil
harmonic Society at the Soldiers Home,
Friday evening next, Jan. 10.
A long train laden with hogs from the
West passed through here for Cincinnati
yesterday.
A German named Linke committed su-
icide at Salem in this county last SUM-
day afternoon by hanging himself. He
was employed as a cattle feeder at a dis
tlllefy al that place. FOR long Whlie
his companion had noticed that ne was
very reticent and low-spirited, and once
OF twice threatened TO kill himself, but
nothing was thought of it. He complain
ed Of being in great distress Of mind,
and on one occasion said he had murder
ed aman in Germany, which probably
was the cause OIL his trouble and his final
act.
The weather has moderated consider
ably, but it is still very cold. The ice
harvest is splendid and vast quantity
has been slowed away for the hot days
and evenings.

Running a Newspaper.

BY some unaccountablc nisapprehen-
sion of facts, says the Memphis Acaianche,
there is II large class Of people in the
world who think that it costs little or
nothing to run newspaper; and if they
buy copy from the newsboy, when too
far from the Office TO come aud beg one,
they are regular patrons and entitled to
unlimited favors. Men call every day
at newspaper Offices to get q copy Of tho
paper for nothing, who would never
dream Of begging pocket handkerchief
from IL dry-goods store, or a piece of
candy from u confectioner, even upon
the plea Of old acquaintance, having
bought something once before. Ono
paper is not much, but hundred day
amounts to something in the course Of
time. But this lisa small drain compared
with the free advertising newspaper is
expected to do. Some men who have
paid two dollars at an early period of
life for an advertisement worth four or
five dollars, appear to think they arc
stockholders in the establishment for
eternity. They demand the publication
of all marriage and funeral notices.
obituaries, and family episodes, for the
next forty years, gratis. Speak of pay
and they grow indignant. Don't |
patronize your papcr?" Yes but you
receive the worth Of your money for what
you pay" But, says the patron, "it
will not cost you anything to put this
in;'' which is just as ridiculous as to
ask a man to grind your axe on his
grindstone, and graciously tell him it
won't cost him cent 1t takes money
to run newspaper as well as any other
business; no paper will succeed finan-
cially that carries deadhead system.
Any mention of the peoples affairs that
they are saxious to see in print is worth
paying for, and when printed is general
y worth as much as any other invest
meDt Of the same amount
The newspaper business is very exact
ing on all connected with it, and the pay
is comparatively small the proprietors
risk more money for smaller profits, and
the editors printers and reporters work
harder and cheaper than tho same number
Of men in any profession requiring
the given amount Of Intelligence, train
ing, and drudgery. The life has its
charms aud pleasant associations, scarcely
known to the outside world but il has
its earnest work and anxietics and hours
Of exhaustion, which also are not known
to thoso who think tie business all fun.
Tho idea that nowspaperdom is a charm
ed circle where the favored fnefnbora
live life of ease aud free from care,
and 60 to the circus at night on free
ticket and to the spring on Il free pass in
the summer, is AN idea which we desire
to explode practically and theoretically.
Business is business, and the journal
that succeeds is the one that is run on
square business footing, the same as
banking or building bridges, keeping a
hotel or running Il livery stable.

Death of General Blair.

The telegraph informs US of the sud-
den death Of General Frank P. Blair, at
his home in Missouri. He had been ill
for length Of time, but his friends had
confidently hoped for his final reco-
very, as the TRANSMISSION of blood into
his veins had re-invigorated him, and
had enabled him to ride or walk at plea
sure. The day of his demise, he walked
down stairs. General Blair, like unto
the other male members of his family,
was q remarkable man, and was noted
for his fiery zeal in any cause i'll which
he engaged, as also his dogged opposi-
ton to the powers of reasoning or con-
viction. He was politician of some
note, and had served in various civil and
military positions. At the conclusion of
the war, he retired to his home in Mis-
souri,. In 1868, he ran for Vice-Prcsi-
dent of tho United States on the Demo-
cratic ticket with Ex-Governor Seymour.
Shortly after his nomination, he pub
lished his famous Broadhcad letter, in
which he denounced the Reconstruction
Acts MS unconstitutional and revolution
ary in their tendency, md promised
vigorous action for their overthrow in
the event of his election. Notwithstand-
ing the devastation and outrage pcrpe-
tratcd by the army under Sherman, in
which Blair was corps commander, and
whose corps was the brag incendiaries
and robbers of that army, and which
corps and army laid waste and made a
Wilderness the whole country in their
line of march from Chattanooga to Sa-
vannah, Charleston and Goldsboro, N.
c., General F. P. Blair received heavy
vote from the Democrats of those sec
tions. But Blair is dead; and we arc re-
minded of the provcrb-"De mortujs nil
nisi Jonum."

GENERAL PREsToN's ADDRESS CEN
sURED.--AIany of the Southern papers
condemn the bitter and ill-timed utter
ances of General John S. Preston, deli
vcred before the alumni of the Univcr-
sity of Virginia, last week. The annexed
extract from the Lynchburg Viytnia,,
represents the general expression of the
press:
"We are glad to learn that tho senti-
ments of General Preston, though Gle
gently expressed, were not received with
favor by those to whom they were nd
dressed, and do not indicate the OPT
Mons of tho sound-thinking people of
Virginia and the South. Let the North
ern journals make note of this when
they undertake to hold us responsible
for the imprudent utterances Of retired
old gentleman, who lived inSSouth Caro-
lima when it was customary there to de-
nounce everything North of certain
line"
The correspondent of tho Baltimore
Sun, in giving ON account of the pro-
ceedings at the University of Virginia,
stated, when reporting the speech, that
its extreme sentiments wero condemned
by those present.
