THERE is great mania for starting
newspapers A printer out of busi-
ness gathers up some old second hand
type, gets patent outsider inside,
printed in some city, and then ''starts
a paper" They die about as fast as
they are born.
Among the papers started last year,
was the Fayette Republican, over at
Washington c. H. 1t came to us ask
ing an exchange. We have sent it
The STANDARD every week since, un-
til last week, when we struck it off
our exchange list, as we had not seen
it for four weeks, and we suppose it is
dead and gone.

We received the following on a pos
tai card one day last week:

BYERs STATION, Jan. !, 1880.
To the Editor of the Standard:
Please inform through THE STANDARD what
material used in blowing up Hell Gate. y. y.
how long viii it take message to pass over the At
lantic cable from the United States to Great Britain?
by so doing you viii obligc, ours, ETC.,
T. W. HUNSICKER.
Who can answer the above? We
cannot do so without some investiga-
ton, but We think some Of our readers
can give the answers.
q. Our recollection is that the rocks in
He'll Gate were drilled full Of holes,
and dynamite put in, and the whole
battery ignited by electricity, and the
rock shattered. That was several
years ago, and it would take some
time to hunt up the account and give
the exact date.
Electricity moves at the rate Of
about two hundred thousand miles per
second, or eight times the distance
around the earth, but we think that
the pressure under the waters of the
ocean considerably retards its velocity,
but we have not got the exact figures
at hand.

INoENDIARIEs in Greenup county,
KY, had burned the barn of farmer
named Charles Rowland, and he was
on the lookout for further damage Of
the same kind, and had shotgun in
readiness. After night he saw man
at his gate, and demanded to know
who it was. Not receiving an answer
he fred. the load entering the body of
the man, who died in few minutes.
1t was his brother-in-law, Alfred
Roberts, who had come to stay over
night with Rowland.

Work to be Done.

If the members Of the Legislature
desire to perform a needed work, let
them exact law to send a man to the
penitentiary for life who robs a grave.
Last week. near West Liberty, Ohio,
some medical students dug into the
grave of Theodore Jones, smashed in
the coffin, inserted hook into the jaw
Of the corpse, and dragged the body
from the grave, and dragged it across
the fields some distance, to the place
where they had a wagon ready.
Shreds of flesh were found all the
way, torn from the body on the rough
ground.
We ask the members Of the Legis-
lature how they would like to have
the body of their wife OR mother ex-
hibited before a lot of half idiotic
medical students, and cut to pieces
amid the grins and jeers of such crea-
lures.
Do your duty gentlemen, and check
this fearful crime.

A. S. FIsHBLATT, VI. d.
We have often heard of two Old
DR.. Jacob Townsends, but we did not
know that there We're two DR.. Fish
blatts; but this must be the case.
Now, DR.. A. S. Fishblatt, stand up.
We have a few words to say to you.
In the last issue Of the Athens Mes
senger we see your advertisement,
with your initials, and it is evident
that this is your advertisement. Blu
now we take up the last number OF
the Hillsborough News, and in it we
find a column advertisement of DR..
Fishblatt, without any initials, and
there is a large portion of it Identical
word for word with an advertise
ment which DR.. E. Fishblatt, the
swindler, had in The STANDARD, COM
meneing Jan. 3, 1878. All that part
about advice to young men, and about
marriage, is the same, word for word, in
the two advertisements. Now if you
are the DIR. Fishblatt who advertises
at Hillsborough, you are greater
scoundrel than the New York swim
dler; if that is the other Fishblatt, you
ought to expose him.
Again. The New York swindler
his been in the habit Of publishing a
number of certificates of cures, and
prominently among them one from
j. W. Dumble, editor Of the Middle
port Republican. We have seen quite
a number of papers recently with the
advertisement of DR.. Fishblatt, with
this certificate of Mr.. Dumble. Is
that you, OF is it the other fellow?
We have heard that you are {
brother Of the New York humbug
and that you are travelling over the
country using his certificates. There
is some mystery about this matter
The New York Jew swindled US out of
SIT, and many others were swindled
by him.. We do not want an inno-
cent man to suffer, and your unfor-
tunate name should not condemn you
An explanation of this HiIlsborough
advertisement, and the Dumble GER
tifcate, is needed, and the col
umns of The STANDARD are a
your service for that purpose. W.
will send you copy of the pape-
with this article marked
We will publish three-fourth col
umn advertisement for you, one year

Soon after the election the Demo-
Gratis made big noise at Lancaster
about FL. c. Drinkle, one Of the most
prominent citizens, having intimidated
a poor Democratic voter, and they had
Mr.. Drinkle arrested, under their eel
ebrated Seitz law. Last week the
trial Of Drinkle took place in the
Court Of Common Pleas Of Fairfield
county, and no case whatever was
made against Drinkle, and he was ac-
omitted

Random Thoughts.

What do you think Of the moral
character Of the man | am now going
to describe? He is in debt, and can
not pay. He has property, and his
creditors begin to close in on him.
An execution is issued, the Sheriff
makes a levy, and adyertises his prop
erty. Cost is accumuIating, and his
property will be sacrificed, or sold for

then he feels how weak, how frail
poor (Democratic) humanity is.
When things first assumed such .
muddled state in Maine, the Demo-
cratic heart was fired with patriotism.
The Democrats were for standing by
Garcelon They believed that the law
should be obeyed, because, by a legal
technicality the Republicans were to
be defeated. Republicans proved as
law-abiding as their opponents, and
the courts were appealed to. Then it
suddenly dawned upon the Democrat
ic mind that the courts might over
ride mere technicalities and give a fair
Interpretation of the spirit of the law
Then the better class of Democrats in
Maine and elsewhere began to de-
nOunce the conduct of Garcelon and
his confederates, and some Of the
counted in" members had sufficient
sense of decency to refuse the certifi-
Gates. Then the cry went up on eve
ry hand that these Democrats had
been bribed-bought, with money
furnished by Republicans, anA one OF
two of them, in order to strengthen
the Democratic position, made oath
that they had been bribed

mony of its leading statesmen, is un-

The first thing that a Democrat
does when he gets beaten, is to cry
fraud" When he tires Of that, or
fails to make people believe in it, he
Immediately puts ON lcok of injured
innocance-or attempts to-and sol
emnly asserts that he has been bought.
The great bane Of the Democratic
politicians is Republican money. He
does not fear Republican ballots, or
Republican bullets-but when Re-
publican politicians come at HIM with
the cool cash-''the root of all ovil"-

THOSE blind leaders of the blind,
who think, or pretend to think, that
the world is growing better, or at
least not growing worse, should inform
themselves. Last year the taxes alone
not the cost mind you, of those ar
ticles which cause all the misery in
our land, increased S458, ,33731, or
nearly half million dollars in our
Congressional district alone.
Read the following figures, taken
from the books Of collector Coates, of

sanity increase in about the same
ratio with the increase of their cause.

district for the year 1879:

ABOUT year ago worthless fellow
named Dick Whaley, went from
Greenfield to Mt. Carmel, Adams
county, where a girl named Fanny
Ashenfelter fell in love with him. He
promised to marry her, but her pa
rents objected. They absconded. Some
months ago she was delivered of a
child, in New Orleans. Whaley then
abandoned her. She set out on foot
to find him. When in Kentucky, near
Cincinnati, she became so faint that
she let her babe fall, and one Of its
arms was broken. A tramp came
along and aided her until she reached
Greenfield. Not finding Whaley
there, she started to Muncie, Indiana,
where she thinks she will find him.
1t is thought Whaley is concealed
about Greenfield, as his mother says
he is somewhere near, but his father
denies that he is there

GOVERNOR BISHOP, in connection
with his annual message, gives list
of pardons, closing with Nov. 18th.
He fails to come up to the Columbi-
ana case, of which .swe spoke some
time ago. One thing we would like
to know. A good many convicts were
pardoned on condition that they ab-
stain from the use of intoxicating
liquors. Now, suppose they get
drunk, and stay drunk all the time
Can they be sent back, and made serve
out their time? If not, what is the
use of the condition?

notice these:

One of the most serious vexations
to which editors are subjected, is the
opportunities and perseverance Of
newspaper bores There are hosts of
men who think they can write much
better than the editor, and they are
everlastingly scribbling fc the pa
pers. The best way is to treat such
fellows with silent contempt. But
they will not remain silent.
About month ago the following
article was left with us, and we hung
it on the hook. In due time came a
postal card on which was written a
demand to know why we had not pub
lished the article, the writer saying he
thought we always needed something
to fill up the paper, &C., and closing
by saying that if we think it is an ad-
vertisement, or if money is what we
want. he will pay us for publishing
it; at all events, he demanded that it
be published; so here goes, this one
time, but we have no idea that the
writer, when he sees it in print, will
have any doubt about his great ability
as literary man:
