INFLUENCE OF NEWSPAPERS. - A
school teacher, who had been engaged a
long time in the profession, and witness
ed the influence of newspapers upon the
minds of family and children, writes as
follow:
81 have found it to be the universal
fact, without exception, that the scholars of
both sexes and all ages, who have access
to newspapers at home, when compared
with those who have not, are:
/. Better readers, excellent in pro-
nuncistlon, and consequently read more
undsrstandingly.
2. They are better spoilers, and define
words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge
Of geography in about half the time it re
quires of others, as the newspapers have
made them acquainted with the locations
of important places, of nations, their
government and doings on the globe
4. They are better grsmmarians, for,
having become familiar with every va.
riety Of style from the commonplace ad-
vertisement TO the finished classical era
ii on Of the statesman, they more read
lily comprehend tie meaning of the text,
and constantly analyze its construction
with accuracy.
5. Those young men who have for
years been readers of newspapers are
always taking the Iced in debating So
cieties, exhibiting more expressive
knowledge, greater variety of subjects,
and expressing their views with greater
huency, clearness and correctness.

The dinner was doubtless awaiting the

feast knock was heard. Bruce, with
unparalleled cheek, went to the door.
There stood two other tramps. who
asked for something to eat. Bruce, IL
a rare spirit of mischief. questioned
them closely regarding their travels,
and finally asked If they would chop
wood for their dinners. They answered
yes. He took them to woodpiie he
had noticed in the rear Of the house,
and they went to work. Bruce
aud Flood, filling their pockets
with victuals, stole out the side way
from the house and went to neighbor-
ing hill. where they had q full view OF

city that Is used more by pedestrians (both

Union street, between 3lst and SGD streets,
and our corners are much freer from loaf
ers than some OF the corners on Belmont

As for our manufacturing establish
ments, three.fourths OF the employees do
not live north OF the point on Union street
where 1t is proposed to locate the office:
We have south of that point the National
Glass Works, Bellaire Window Glass
Works, Ohio Glass Works, Belmont Coal
Works, Pittsburgh Coal Works and the
office Of the Buckeye Lantern Company Is
on Union street, near the proposed location
OF tho office. Besides all this, the majority
OF the country people who receive their
mails through the Bellaire Postotlice come
in from tho sonth Side, and by the re.
moyal Of the office to Union street It would
accommodate many more from both city

location. This is the firm belief Of one
who wants to publish only the TRUTH.
