Rev. Isaac Barnes, of Independ-

Paul Pry was out promenading one
wet morning last week on quarry

much.

Type Work ON a Newspaper.

The Poughkeepsic Eagte, in an ar
ticle on 'How Mistakes Happen in
Newspapers" figures up the number
of type used in newspaper the size
of the Eogle at O,000--that is the
actual number Of bits Of mental ar
ranged every week, in preparing a
paper Of that size for the press. We
suppose few people think of the
printing trade as one Of the most ex
act and particular of handicrafts;
but it is. In making type, variations
that might be allowed in the finest
machinery would render type useless.
1t is very rarely that type furnished
by two separate foundries can be
used together without great deal Of
trouble, though they try to make it
after the same standard. We read
once in while of a wonderful piece
of cabinet work or mosaic work, con-
tanning ten, twenty or fifty thousand
pieces, the maker Of which has spent
months, or even years Of labor in pro-
ducing it, and the people go to see it
as a curiosity; but the most elabo-
rate and carefully fitted piece of
work of this kind ever made does not
compare with that which the printer
does every day for minuteness of de
tail and accuracy of fitting. The
man who does the first is looked upon
as a marvel of skill, and if hundred
of his pieces are put in wrong side up
or turned around it is not noticed in
the general effect, but if the printer,
in getting ten times as many pieces
together in single day, puts one
where another should be or turns one
the wrong way, everybody sees it and
is amazed at the stupid carelessness
of those printers"

The wool merket during the past
week in the East has been active. In
Boston, seldom have the sales
reached higher figures than the past
week, the total amounting to nearly
four million pounds. The price is
looking up and will be better than it
has been for some time. Producers
in most growing sections are
holding for higher figures. In Wash
ington County, Pa, little wool has
been sold at 35 cents, but the market
is not by any means active. The
wool that was delivered at this place
last week was bought at figuring
from 30 to 33 cents. 1t is probable
that no more can he had al. these

Respecting the benefits to be de
rived from newspaper advertising
the Albany Press truly says: Good,
fresh advertisements are not the least
interesting and valuable portion of a
paper They tell the readers what
they want to know-where goods can
be bought, what they are sold for;
who wishes to purchase real estate;
who has houses to rent or sell; where
employment and labor can be OBJ
tanned; and thous and other things
that they want to know. 1t is an err
ror to suppose that only editors and
reporters supply news worth reading
The skillful advertiser furnishes q
good share Of it, and is there are any
readers who fail to look over the adj
vertising columns of their paper, they
miss a great Zeal of information that
would prove valuable to them"

a Just Retribution.

Jack Williams, colorcd, was tried at Orr
nN2cburg last week for lhc hcinous crime OF
rape on little Linnie Hughes, n white girl, |
years old. The history Of the crime as told
by the witnesses or the stand was revolving,
an" his guilt was established beyond q ques-
ton. In fact, the criminal, after the trial
confessed his guilt. The jury that tried the
fend recommended him to mercy, believing.
as ten Of them afterwards stated to the Judge,
that it would then be in the discretion of the
Judge to either sentence the criminal to be
hung or confined in tho Penitentiary for life
But the Judge had no discretion, az tho ver-
dict OF the jury, recommending the criminal
to mercy, fixed his punishment, under the
law, at hard labor in the penitcntiary for life
The people determined that the gallows should
not be cheated Ivy the ignorance or stupidity
of q jury, and without delay took the fiend
from the Jail, carried him to the suburbs of
the town, and there hanged him until he was
dead. They did right, and we oommcud their
act. Where the courts or jures fail to do
their duty in such q Gaze as this, let the pco-
pie do it.
