Properly regarded the advertising
columns of n newspaper are mong the
most important, for no man really
becomes acquainted even with the
news of the day unless he has thor
oughly perused the advertisements.
They arc the pulse of business and
universal activity. They contain
not only rsre specimens Of human
ldiosyncrasies, but afford view of
life IN every possible phase. They
aid the arts and science, and stimu-
late trade by supplying an exchange
ia which buyers and sellers constant
ly and conveniently meet. They
speak of change, sometimes exciting
smile, sometimes tear. To the
sick man they convey a promise Of
health, to the poor man they hold
out hope of wealth; the pleasure
seeker is posted in amusement; the
book buyer learns the title and price
of the new books as they appear; the
traveller is informed of the great SUI
periority of every route over every
other; the house hunter reads of Il
desirable and eligible tenement and
the house owner secures tenant;
the unemployed of employment in the
various branches Of industry; in fihci
every imaginable want is sutpiisi-
tiously supplied by the advertising

GIRLS, when you stick postage
stamp on q letter, you must bear in
mind that language attaches to the
spot or position in which you place
your stamp. For instance: If q
stamp be placed in the upper left
hand corner the writer declares his
affection for the person to whom it is
addressed; on the right hand corner
the question, 'Do you love me?' on
the centre, just in front of the name,
Accept my love-; on the lower left
hand corner, II hate you" and so it
goes.

Mr.. EDIToR.-I find the following
paragraph in the BALTIC. Sun of a late
date, which please publish with re-
marks below it.
Another Railroad Chartered. A char
ter has been issued from the State De-
partment at Harrisburg, Pa, to the
Monongahela East Shore Railroad Co. i,
the proposed line of which will run from
point opposite McKeesport, eighty miles
up the Monongahela river to the West
Virginia State line. The capital stock
is SSO0,00 The officers are: President,
w. c. Quincy, Pittsburgh; directors,
David Hostetter, James r. Bennett
Henry Hice, II. Deputy. This company
is in the interest of the Pittsburgh and
Lake Erie Railroad
AS the above railroad and South
west Pennsylvania railroad have be-
come competitors to connect with the
w. Va. and Pa. railroad lately organ
lied at Fairmont, would it not be
advisable for property holders on the
route of said proposed railroad to
keep control of the right of way
through their land until 1t is ascer-
tanned which company will build the
road, and then give the right of way
to such company?
We learn that an effort is being
made to secure the right of way for
the Iron Valley railroad. If they
succeed, there is no telling what OBJ
stacles the corporators of said road
may throw in the way to obstruct the
building of practicable outlet by
asking speculative price for the
right of way that cost them nothing.

A COUPLE eloped at Falling Springs.
West Virginia, and were holly pur-
sued by the girls father. His horse
threw him, breaking his leg, and the
sutton considerably brought him
back home. This caused diversion,
giving the young men time to prove
that he was not gambler, as his
skill at cards had led the father to
believe, but belonged to q wealthy
and respectable Boston family. A
peaceful wedding ensued.

MURDERoUs ATTACK UPON PERRY J.
ROGERS BY JAS. CLARK MIcHAELs-
He FRACTURES ROGERS SKULL, AND
BREAKS Hrs LEG AND Two RrBs-A
CowARDLY OuTRAuE.-The Preston
county Journal of last week has the
following: "Soine time since. Perry
j. Rogers, aged 81, living in Grant
Districts or 10 miles from Bruceton,
and another man, assert that they
caught James Clark Michaels in the
act of committing a namelcss crime
upon n mare. Michaels is a young
man, Is years old, n stepson of Solo
mon Walls, living near Rogers-all
farmers. The report getting into
circulation angered Michaels. On
Friday last his brothcr-in law, Or
man, came to Rogers and said that
Clark wanted to have an interview
with him, "to fix up" that report.
Mr.. Rogers asscnted, but objected to
any ones accompanying Clark. Ac-
cordingly,on Saturday evening CLARK
Michaels came to the field where
Rogers was working with his team.
He was accompanied by his brother
and their step-iather Walls. The
two latter remained behind n short
distance. But few words had pass
ed between Mchaels and Rogers,
when the former called the latter a
liar. Rogers was gathering up the
lines of the harness, when Michaels
struck him a tremendous blow in the
head with stone, which fclled him
to the earth. AS he was in the act
Of rising, Clark hit him with anoth-
or stone, which was repeated TO the
third time. lie then savagely kicked
Rogers in the side twice or thrice.
BY this time Walls and the other
boy had come upon the scene,
and were looking on. A young
woman, relative of Rogers, running
up with a stone, Clark Michaels ran
off, got on one of the horses they had
brought, and rode away. As the
young woman was In the act of
throwing the stone, she says Walls
told her to desist,or he would hit her.
