A writer fully accounts for the reason
why printers die young, and why they
are continually trsmping from place to
place, in search OF peace and quietude.-
He ,ays that working for forty editors
and scores Of authors, every one Of whom
is as sensitive as q sore thumb, and as
lively and interesting as a hornet, no
wonder the printers die young, and only
pachy -dermstous. grizzly mHlish spec;-
mens get their share OF life. The writer
wishes he could offer himself a. an awful
example Of the perils which environs the
man who NEEDLES with cold-type. A
thoroughly trained printer should have
had q stepmother and then stepfather.
and then have been bound out to tam
ner, and then have married q scolding
wife, and lived in q smoky-hoase, and
have had family Of babies afflicted with
the collie. He should have added to all
this discipline thorough knowledge of
silence and law, languages, theology. his
tory and biography. II. in addition, he
has vivacious-looking countenance, and
an smiable disposition. he may stand
some chance with these authors and eds
itors; but, the probabilities are, after all,
that they will worry him to death. This
picture will have a very depressing eff
feet upon ambitious boys who are anx>
ious to learn the "art preservstive OF
arts." The new picture, however. is a
tolerably correct one.

any to come, but to those who have made

We dosay that no country in the world

are men here in the State from Scotland
investigating the extent of her cattle

what effect It may have upon their own

There are no fishes in the Great Sail

they touched its waters they came TO the

Eggs and potatoes float on it like eorks.

COmparisosa.

Eleven years have passed since the
war closed and in that time the Re
publican party, which has been con-
tinuOusly in full CONTROL of the Gov
eminent, has spent for the ordinary
expenses of administration-aside
from interest on the debt the vast
sum of $685., az, Col ~. Before
the war began the federal constitution
had been in operation - years, for
over 80 of which the Democratic par
ty had been in power. During these
70 years the ordinary expenditures
aside from payments for interest and
principal of the debt-amounted to
81, 500, 706. 141.15. 1t thus appears
that in eleven years the Repuhlic Of
party spent Of the peoples monan
$179, 166, 400. 80 more than the cOstey

Editor Herald;
will send You few jottings.
The farmers are getting along with
their work very well thus far. Our old
neighbor, John P. Rowe. complains OF be-
ing very much IN the rear with his fish
ing arrangements. 1t appears that the
frost bites for him thrice whilst the fish
nibble occasionally. / hope Mr.. Rove
will get more fish bites and lees frost
bites Some Of our neighbors are re-
breaking and pulverizing their lands for
tobacco. Plants quite numerous, almost
as plentiful as the candidates, twice az
many as there should be, and the CRY is
for more, and they, the candidates, more
numerous than the bugs, unless we term
them bugs and the biggest kind Of bugs.
We hear long and loud cries from the
Dams and ponds and many other places
for our editor to become q candidate
We often hear 9 great noise from dams
and ponds in spring time. Hope our cd
itor will not heed any such solicitations.
Mr.. Barrett is very nice gentleman, and
would make good representative. Mr..
b. is doing q great work as an editor, and
hope he will continue in the good work.
/ have been raising eorn for fifty years
past, and hope to raise fifty ears for Mr..
Barrett this summer, and hope the good
farmers OF Ohio and adjoining counties
will do likewise. We hope to hear Mr.
Barrett cry out. like Jacob of old. when
the wagons were heard rumbling up from
Egypt, laden with corn, Its enough"
We expect to bring q few pounds Of To-

We will close our notice of these old

1903. Daniel Sipple was arrested and
tried before called session Of the court,
and sent on for further trial for horse
stesling, and finally convicted and sent to
the penitentiary for period of years. He
was respectfully connected. Had always
borne the character of an honest, indus
trious man, but would sometimes drink
to access. In drunken spree he had
been the tool Of Williams, who derived the
benefit OF his then, and left him the VIC
tim OF the Law. But did he succumb to
his III fortune, and become degraded
outcast7 By no means. He left his
weeping family; went to his prison, and
by the most exemplary conduct gained
the confidence OF the officers Of the peni-
tertiary; and by the time he was releas.

OF the best citizens Of Frankfort; and in-
stead ofreturning to his old home, he
sent for HE family. settled near the walls
of his late prison, commenced life anew.
was received into society, lived many
happy days with his family, and died,
honored and esteemed by all who knew
him. Reader, pause and reflect upon
poor Sipple's case. Young men, aye,
middle-aged and old men. think OF the
awful dangers to which you expose your
selves every time you dethrone reason by
iutoxication.
II seems that our citizens, then as well
rs now, knew how 10 make most out of
criminal prosecution. for at q subse-
quent court of claims, there we're twen>
ty>one claimants, and the joint amount Of
their claims was 81 pounds and shil-
lings, for arresting and guarding poor

Teach them to respect their elders and

Teach them that. as they expect to be

Teach them by your own example that
smoking in moderation, though the least
OF the vices to which men are heirs, is
disgusting to others and hurtful to them
selves.
Teach them that God is no respecter Of
sex, and that when He gave the seventh
commandment He meant it for them as
well as their sisters.
Teach them that by INDUCING their de-
