DEAD BEATING NEWSPAPERS. Our
valued contemporary, the Waynes-
burg independent complains Of the
treatment it has received at the hands
of some Of its subscribers. We re-
greet to say that West Virginia is in
Tested to some extent by the same
variety of cattle. The subjoined are
its remarks: The meanest persons
that have existence are those demon
mated dead heads and of these
there are many classes. The mer-
chant, the doctor, the lawyer, tho
church and the newspaper each have
their share, and all struggle to free
themselves from them, but they cling
with as much tenacity as grim
death to q nigger's he'll Such per
sons are drones to society, and only
serve to clog the wheels of any en-
terprisc or undertaking. There is
nothing that will raise the wrath of
the newspaper man, cause his hair to
stand on end, and impel him to speak
sharply to the devil" than to get a
notice from a postmaster that 1.-The
paper addressed to A. b. is uncalled
for; reason, don't want it any longer"
Turning to the books he finds the
man has been getting the paper for
nothing for four or five years, and has
not paid cent on it. We received
notices from postmasters the Other
day OF three such spongcrs, the aggre-
gate Of whose accounts was near $50.
Now, if there are any more such
spongcrs on our list, who have deter
mined not to pay for their paper, we
ask them to report at once, as onr cir
cumstances will not permit us to be
so liberal as to send the paper for
nothing. There is another class
who cheat the printer by jumping
the bounty" or changing their post
Office without notifying the publisher.
This class is placed under the head
of FRAUDS" and the United States
government has passed law for
their special benefit, which is rather
stringent in its character Under
it such persons can be arrested for
fraud, fined heavily and imprisoned.
An enforcement Of this law on the
part of publishers in few in
stances, might have the wholesome
effect Of correcting an evil from
which all newspapers suffer more or
less. These reflections are for the ben
eft Of the dead head" and "fraud''
only, no difference what paper is in
fured by his meanness.

The Fairmont Vest Tirginida
says 1t is our sad duty this week
to chronicle the death Of one of our
oldest and hest citizens, and when
we say best it does not seem To ex-
press all we desire when we name
Daniel Turney, Esq, who died at his
residence in this place on Monday
last February 5, 1881, at eleven
O'Clock a. NJ. Mr. Turney had been
i'll for about two weeks, being threat
ened with pneumonia, and remained
at home all the while, but on Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday of
last week lie had Sc far recovered as
to be able to appear on the streets.
On the night Of the day last named
he retired without complaining, and
to all appearances was feeling quite
well, having been talkatiye and
cheerful throughout the day and
evening, in fact more cheerful than
usual. 1t was between eight and
nine o'clock when he retired to his
room, and at ten o'clock he became
suddenly and alarmingly i'll. A
physician was at once summoned,
and upon arriving he found Mr. Tur-
nev suffering from congestion of the
lungs All who saw him thought
that he could not linger through the
night. Everything was resorted to
to give him relief, but human skill
awaited nothing, Notwithstanding
his suffering was great and almost
incessant he lived until Monday,
when he died calmly and peacefully
Mt the hour above stated.

This will probably he the last
big fire that Miles City will
see for many years. 1t was an
expected calamity. and had il occurred
u few months later when olsn weather

say that Al the earliest practicable mo
nient substantial brick ed!fires will he

doubt that the renainler will be sim

fir shows orr utter inability to cope
with fire Of any magnitude. and had

probably would have much larger
loss to record. Prof. Ringwall is 10

close this report without IA tribute to
the yeoman service done by almost
everyone toward saving roperty and

was more orderly or willing crowd

of NJ ei City.
