JUST little fire makes one feel more
comfortable these mornings, while the bare
feet boy looks longingly into the windows
of the shoe stores. The early riser begins
to mutter, coal dealers smile complacently
as the mercury falls and the ice men muse
despondingly over the decline in trade and
the nearing end of the sales of the crystal
commodity. But with the autumn come
chestnuts and hickory nuts, pumpkin pies
new cider, husking bees, honey, and many
other things quite as enjoyable as hot

ROwELL's DIRECTORY. -ROweli's News
paper Directory for the year 1876, is be-
fore us. It is handsomely bound book,
and contains much statistical informa-
ton that is valuable to merchants and
printers. In regard to newspapers il
says: ''The effect of the general stagna-
| ton of business is shown by the small
increase in the number of publications
as compared with previous years. Since
May LIST 1876, thirteen hundred and sixty
| six papers have commenced publication
Gan average of over four for each labor
| ing day. and one thousand and ninety
seven have suspended. That the circu-
latiOns are below what they were one
year ago is also more than probable. In
Tennessee the decrease in the number of
publications amounts to five, and I'm Mis-
souri, twenty-three. Exactly the same
number as last year is issued in New
Jersey, viz: III; in Rhode Island, ~;
and West Virginia, 20. Among the
weeklies the largest average of circula-
ton is found in New York, and amounts
to 4,l20; the next, 3,777, in Massachu-
sets; and the next, 1876, in the district
of Columbia.
A comparison between the aggregate
circulation of ali publications in each
State and Province with its population
C1S7O), shows that California issues 90
copies pe- annum fer every individual on
her census rolls, while New York and
Massachusetts, fall but little short of that
number with an annual issue Of 50 and
30 copies respectively. When the dis
lance Of California from the great news
paper centres of the East is considered,
| 1t will be seen that the local support
which her publications receive is far bet
ter than comparison with the averages
Of those States in near proximity to New
York, POstOu or PHILADELPHIA would in
dictate. At the other extreme we find
| that Newfoundland prints but two copies
per annum for each individual, or one
copy every six months. Florida and Ar
Kansas do but little better, the former
issuing three und the latter four copies
| per annum to each person. OF the A.
separate States and Provinces contained
in this work, IL issue less than 10 copies,
81 less than % copies, and IL less than 50
copies per annum to each person, while
in the whole of them combined the aye
rage number issued is 81. 1t will be in
teresting to note that high average is
always found in those States where n
high standard of education and good or
der exists fact of no slight significance
in estimating the influence of newspa-
pers upon the government and education
of the people. The table shows that one
periodical of some kind is printed for
every three persons. With five persons
to each family this will prove one of two
things, either that there is more than
one paper regularly printed and sold for
every family or that the circulations as

Of the continuance and success Of that

upon competition footing with other

evitable. The order Of Patrons should

The Republican State Convention met

tive men of the party. The delegates to

and alone' stands for Blaine. No nomi-
nation for Governor was made, and the
calling of a convention for that purpose
was left to the discretion of the chairman
of the State Executive ComUnittee- A
bitter letter was read from Brownlow to
the Convention in which he took bold
ground against population Of the state
or national debt, and predicted the tri-
umphant election of Republican sue
cessor to Grant. The following delegates
from this district were appointed to the
Cincinnati Convention: s. w. Hawkins,
and II. Ii. Thorn alternate; + G.. Ridge

for Bristow.
