The Methodist Bishops tell the Gener-

Thousands of tons of Limburgercheese
are produced every season, mostly in the
States of New York and Wisconsin, at a
cost of less than half that of the import
ed article. It finds its market and is
consumed mostly by our German-Amer-
lean population. 1t is more profitable to
the farmer and maker than any other
kind of cheese, because from a given
quantity of milk % weight is obtained
and better prices are realized.
Our Bounce Legislature has enacted a
new law in relation to the mode of pro-
viding for striking juries. Heretofore
the Sheriff summoned the men and the
attorneys exercised their Judgment in
the choice of the men who were to hear
and determine the cause. Hereafter,
according to the new statute, the Judge
of the Court, without consultation with
anybody, will select the jurymen, and
his choice will be supreme. This settles
the question of fixing upa jury to suit the
case, knowing what the verdict viii be
before it is heard.

Herald and Sun each receives $50, 723 q

price for a preferred position is three
times that. The New York Tribune re,
ceives for its lowest column, $27, 794 ant
for its highest $46 ,94S, and these papers
are never at a loss for advertisements tt
fill their columns. Their patronage come:
not from any desire to assist their respec
tive papers, but from business men whc
find it profitable to advertise. Is it any
wonder with SUCH rates for advertising
city papers al send out their weekly is
sues at such low rates? One Admins
traitors sale from Preble county, at sucl
rates, would make paupers of the heirs
and yet persons in the rural district
send offfor cheap weeklies and let thei
own local papers, who work for the PEG
pie cheap, get along as best they ian. ]
country papers would treble their adver
tising rates they could furnish their pa
pers at 81 per year.
