Effect of Advertising on Trade.

1t has become necessity with most people who
trade to get their moneys worth. Every cent
counts, and "a penny saved is penny earned
Business men find this out when it comes to deal
ing with them and thus they find it necessary to
offer every inducement to a fair share of
trade. People at large, too have come to look in
the papers to find where they get what they
want, and get it cheapest. 1t is owing to this
more than anything else that the men who adver.
tise find it pays, and that their business is much
heavier than that of nOn-advertising competitors,
who may carry as much and good stock but
who take no pains to inform the people of it
The cheapest place to advertise is in local pa
per which goes into the families which the adver-
tiser wishes to reach, Four-ffths of the money
put into simply advertising sheets, which are
thrown into shops one hour, to be used as waste
paper the next is money thrown away

An Important Petition.

We learn that Mr.. A. G. Mitchell is
about presenting petition to the Chan
cellOr of Caledonia county court, that
the engineers, employees, and those to
whom the p. & o. Road is indebted for
supplies furnished for building and
completing the same, may be paid or
secured in their pay by the court. 1t
is understood that this is the only way
of proceeding, to secure their claims,
and there is no room for delay. All
who desire to be included in this suit
can do so by signing a power of attor-
ney which upon application Mr.. Mitch
ell will send them, and giving him the
approximate amount of their claims
and how and when they accrued. II
all join, the expense will be small to
each, and it will be divided pro rata
according to the amount claimed or re-
covered. We have no doubt but the
Chancellor will grant such petition.
In fact all law and equity demands that
first of all be provide for the payment
of those men who furnished supplies
for completing and running the road,
many of whom are now either suffering,
or are financially cramped, because
they have not received their pay. AS
we understand it, the whole matter is
in Chancellor Ross's hands, and we
think the claimants can rely upon him
to do the equitable thing.

Elisha May, Court Auditor.
State IS. James III. Hinch. Indict-
ment in four or five counts alleging that
the respondent in June, July, and Aug.
1877, while managing the business at
the depot at Norrisville, so-called, for
the agent A. B. Norris, did embezzle
certain sums of money that came into
his hands. Mr.. Norris was the depot
master, manager of express, and post
master. The evidence was not disputed
that the several sums charged as stolen
by the respondent were in fact disposed
of by some one before reaching the
consignee but it was claimed by the
respondent that these various sums
were delivered over by the respondent
to Mr. Norris or were left by respond
ent in the drawer or in the depot. The
place where this money was left was
rather exposed. The evidence of the
State tended to show that Hinch alb
stracted this money and introduced
certain letters which the State claimed
Hinch wrote. The respondent claimed
Mr.. Norris wrote these communications.
1t was clear from the evidence that the
business at this depot was managed
quite loosely. Verdict not guilty. Ide

for deft.
State Us. Oderkirk and Smith. Indict-
ment for stealing twenty-five head of
cattle from the Doles of Danville. The
evidence was so conclusive against
Oderkirk that his fate was sealed on
the start. Every one who saw him on

were CARED, knew him. But only a
few recognized Smith. There is con-
siderable sympathy for Smith until
more is known of his previous life.

Found Dead.

round DEAD.
DR.. John Wheeler of West Concord,
was found dead in his bed Monday
morning. We have not learned but
what he was as well as usual the day
before. His age must have been about
80. DR.. Wheeler was quite an eccentric
man, living pretty much alone upon his
large farm. He has been called the
richest man in the town if not in the
county, and his estate is variously es-
timated at from $4,000 to 100000,
although many of his mortgages have
shrunk greatly in value during the last
three years. He left will, with Geo.
E. GOOdall, executor. The use of the
farm he gives to AFRO Joslin, nephew,
while he lives. Among his assets are
one hundred shares of stock in the First
National Bank of this place. DR..
Wheeler was never married. Harry
and Geo. Bingham, the New Hampshire
lawyers, are his nephews.
