gret that we lose our late efficient agent of

vcnience to our people, largely augmented

now able to hand over to new agent
much more prosperous Office than he rcceiv-
ed.
We have not been able TO regain the two
days lost last week and appear late again,
ono day this time, but will be promptly on

Referring to an item published in The
CLARION some weeks ago, wherein we spoke
of citizen who had already prepared his
coffin and grave stones, the Emmitsburg
Chronicle has the following comment -
1.-THE above has been extensively copied.
The man referred to lives IN our neighbor-
hood. If it gave credit for tie mechan-
les employed to do the works specified, and
the comfort brought to them, there would
be no ground for implied reflection"
This very explicit statement makes it ap-
pear necessary that we should render an
apology to some one, for something. To the
citizen? To the mechanics :? For what hid
den meaning recognized therein as implied
rcflcction?"

The Printers Circular makes the follow
ing sensible suggestions concerning that i'm
portant institution, the local newspaper:
"a large portion of people do nothing to
support their local papers, yet reap the ben
eft every day of the editors work. A man
will say, advertising does not pay in bust
ness And yet the fact is that the town in
which he does business would be unknown;
the railroad over which he ships his goods
