YE LOCALS SoL1LooUY.-To write-and what
to write, that is the question:;
Whether tits nobler for the reporter to make
up
All sorts of dots and local paragraphs,
Thrilling accounts of accidents and things In
general
Without the shadow of fact whereon
To base single paragraph or dot;
Or by the lack of good local column
Lose fifty thousand of our subscribers;-
There's the part f..
That makes calamity of being newspaper
paragraphist;
For who could bear the sneers and jeers Of
men
And here them say, "This paper amt worth
cent;
1t amt got bit Of local news,
And I'm goin'ito stop it?"
Oh ! for marriage or runaway,
A circus, or dynamite EXPOSITION;
Oh! for fight, a horrible. fearful fight
Whose narrative might make our pencil go,
And harrow up the soul of ry man
Who pays two dollars a year for this paper,
In order that he might get the worth OF his
money
And cause each individuals hair to stand on
end;
Like frills upon the fretful porcupine!
Oh, Cordelia! how sharper than serpents
thanks it is
To run local column! r-

PKoF. jon TURNER-On Sunday afternoon of
last week in st. Jamess Cathedral, Toronto,
Canada, a sermon preached specially for
deaf-mutes, by our former citizen, Prof. Job
Turner. The sermon which had ueen written
by Mr.. Turner, was read by another, and trans
lated into the sign language by Mr.. Turner for
the benefit of the deaf-mutes.
The Toronto Globe says:-"The service was in
no way different from that observed on ordinary
with the various lessons there wasa pause SO as
to allow the translator to keep pace with him.
The deaf mutes, large number OF whom were
present, occupied seats Immediately in front of
the pulpit. They observed with eager eyes the
movements ofthe translator, and in the pray
ers many of them made the signs after him.
The sermon preached was written by the trans
lator, and was based on Psalm CHI. S:-"The
Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger
and pIenteous in redemption" During the
service a letter was read giving some interest
ing information regarding the progress of reli-
gious teaching among the deafand dumb in the
States. The communication stated inter ALA
missionary among those of his fellow-country
men who like himself are deaf mutes. 1t also
stated that therear forty stations IN the States
where deaf mutes, numbering altogether three
thousand, receive religious teaching from deaf
mute missionaries. At the close of the services,
which were of a most interesting character, a
collection was taken up on behalf of deaf-mute

FREE FIGHT IN CRAIG.-There was a. tenn
porary revival of the good old times" at New
Castle, on the 9Th instant-county court day.
Hon. James W. Marshall, who was the opposing
counsel in case pending in the court against
Mr.. G. T. Steele, was approached by the latter
with big stick, with which, after some warm
words, he struck Mr.. Marshall. This occurred
in the Courthouse yard, and Immediately af-
forwards the scene of conflict was changed to
the street, Mr. Marshall insisting on Mr.. Steele
to 'come on Steele failed to accept the invita-
ton, but kept rather quiet until Mr.. Marshalls
attention was attracted elsewhere, when he
struck him with stone, on the head. At this
a friend of Mr.. Marshall. with a blow with his
fist, laid Steele out on the ground, and for a
time things were quite lively. Mr.. Marshall's
conduct was approved throughout by his
friends, and the people were highly indignant
at the manner Of the assault upon him-F1a-
castle Herald.
Hon. James w. Marshall is State Senator
from Craig, and is well-known to many of our
citizens. He was born and raised in Augusta
