UNDER the head of "stop my paper"
an exchange has these pertinent re-
marks: IF the subscriber who gets
his back up at something he may find
in his paper and rushes to the office to
tell the editor to "stop my paper"
only knew how outrageously silly he
appears in the eyes of the publisher, he
would send the message by hoy and
instruct the boy. to keep very quiet
about it, too. Just imagine man who
habitually buys three cents worth of
tobacco weekly, rush into the grocer's,
red as lobster, frothing at the mouth,
and saying to him, i won't buy my
three cents worth of tobacco in your
old store any more-I WON'T won't
because found nail in the last
and it hurt me in tender place! The
grocer don't sit down on soap box and
cry his eyes out for the loss of such a
customer; and the publiser treats the
offended subscriber with the same indif-
ference, so that all the rage and venom
which some men carry with them
when they call to stop their paper
only betrays donkey's nature. Ifa
person does not wish to read newspa-
per longer, he should have it stopped
with as little ceremony as possible, he
cause no publisher under the sun would
exchange the patronage of three cents
a week for the charming exhibition of
cranky human nature, which the SUBJ
scriber displays in news Office when
his spine is arched. Most newspapers
are published as matter of business,
and good ones are never sent to persons
who do not order them. The bargain
is mutual one between the subscriber
and the publisher, and when the for
mer thinks he does not wish the paTer
sent to him any longer, if he will pay
up his name will be taken from the list
and the bargain considered closed .
A PRESTON COUNTY MAN RECEIVES
BAD WOUND BY THE ACCIDENTAL
DISCHARGE OF HIS SHoTGUN.-On the
afternoon of last Thursday, John
James Winning, of Scotch Hill while,
out hunting with an elder brother,
received a gunshot wound, which may
prove fatal. He had discharged one
barrel Of his shotgun and wounded
a rabbit, which ran into or under
an old log. An elder brother and
himself had laid their guns against
the log while trying to find the
rabbit. Briers and brush had
grown thick around. just as James
stepped upon the log by his gun
the piece went off, and he received
the discharge in his left breast,
just above and to the right of the
heart. The load of shot made an
opening the size of silver dollar
and penetrated clear through his
body, the most Of the shot coming
out at the back. A few are still lodged
in his body.
1t is, Of course a very serious
wound, but the young man was in
very encouraging condition on
Monday. He breathed naturally,
and talked without difficulty. There
was, however, no pulse in the left
arm; and this member at first was
devoid of feeling, but that was
slowly returning The smothering
spells, too, with which he suffered
for the first day or two, had left him.
The young man is Is years Of age,
and is a miner, as is his father also.
He is a young man of excellent hab-
its. It is supposed that the gun was
cooked when he set it down, and
that in parting the briers and brush
in the search for the rabbit, branch |
or twig caught the hammer, and dis
charged the piecc.--Prcston Journal. !
