STATE JOURNALLSM.

The press of Maryland has been in
She last several years undergoing gradu-
al improvement, and while its journals
are not as large, it yet ranks in respect
to ability and enterprise with that of any
other State in the Union The daily
papers Of Baltimore city spare no efforts
or expense to place on the breakfast
table Of their readers evey morning all
the news of the country, from centre to
circumference.
The Sun, the gray-haired, venerable
Journal which seems much healthier and
more robust than in its youth and early
manhood, travels around with more activ-
fly than ever for news. In addition to
its full accounts of national news it has
a wonderful propensity for gathering local
matter, and there is not an event that
would be interesting to its readers THAT
occurs in Maryland, no matter If it hap
pens on by-road, a.cow-path or in the
most inaccessible laurel jungles of the
Alleganies, the Sun has complete state
mcnt of it next morning. May it live
long and prosper.
The Baltimore american, another
daily of our State, is an indication Of
Journalistic enterprise. While it is not
us full Of local matter as the San, yet il
is equally as welcome to every Preside,
for it carries something of more value
than mere politics OF the rehearsal Of
momcntous crimes. 1t gathers up with
accuracy the marketable value of our
home products. aud every farmer W no is
fortunate enough to take the american
spreads it wide open and looks the first
thing to sec how much his wheat and
corn is worth.
The Gazette has wonderful propensi.
ty for seeking new proprietors, and in the
last several years has changed hands sew
cral times, but we think now that il has
found the right managers and as the
intractablo colt is working in the journ.
alistie harness with as much docility and
SUCCESS as an old horse, it will be salts
fed with its present condition. The
Gazcite pays more attention to national
topics than to anything else, and nothing
can transpire at government head-quar
tcrs that the Gazette does not succeed il
finding out. Its Christmas number i,
perhaps the most remarkable eSbibitior
of journalistic enterprise that has evcl
been witnessed in our State. A host o
prominent and eminent men have con-

There was a "Wheel Of fOrtune'

There was a "wheel Of fortune
man in town last Saturday. 1t
was a new thing to the boys,
and some Of them spent their
dimes freely endeavoring, we
suppose, to make q fortune, I'M
til they learned by experience
that the fortune Went the other
way. One young chap who had
probably spent several dollars
on the concern, was fairly a
walking cheap iewelry estab-
lishment when he quit "draw-
ing" and SO we'll was he sup
Dlied with cheap finger rings,
that his fingers resembled so
many brass mounted pig tails.
A difficulty arose between
Dr.. A. J. Bolar and Robert Pat
terson, at Franklin, in lizard
county, one day last week, re-
sultinc in the death of Bolar,
who, from what we can learn,
entered Patterson's store with
knife in hand and made an at
tack on Patterson, when the
latter seized a hatchet and
struck Bolar on the neck with
it. cutting a fearful cash and
killing him almost instantly.
Patterson then went to Mel
bourne and surrendered to the
authorities, and at last accounts
was undergoing an inVestiga
ton. We have not learned the
cause Of the fatal difficulty;
Patterson is a young man, and
formerly employed as a clerk
in Bolar's store, but recently
went into business for himself.

There is beauty, pathos and
truth combined in the following
song, which all our delinquent
subscribers should learn to sing
with an understanding heart:
Oh, how happy are they
Who the printer do pay,
And have squared up the 0 ID year
apd more.
Tongue cannot express
The great joy of the press
When delinQuents have squared
the old score,
Printers all the day long
Labor hard for their song;
Oh, that all their hard fate could
but see;
They have worked all the day,
And Of course want their pay,
To buy sugar, bread, butter
and tea.
