Rocky Ridge Letter.

Since my last letter, there has been anoth-
er glass ball shooting match, resulting in IA
ynr of Basil Wood, who broke thirteen
balls out of fifteen, and Charles Englar
twelve Mr. J. Black, George Fox, and VIM.
Martin coming in third and breaking each
nine balls. Joseph Miller fourth breaking
eight, Mr. Ed. Root from Middleburg, seven,
VIM. Mort and Rahmon Long each breaking
a few balls, and John c. Eyler from Monoc-
acy, saving fifteen balls out of fifteen shots
for future use, breaking none. Charles En-
glar and VIM. Martin afterwards shot ten
balls apiece, VIM. Martin coming out best.
The creeks and branches have been very
bad crossing in our community for several
days past, in fact Beaver Branch could not
be crossed for day or two on account of
ice and back water.
There were few ice houses filled, before
the ice broke up, but the most of them were
not. Some are filling their houses with the
broken up ice Mr.. A. IIinea and Calvin
10y were filling on Friday. 1t may keep,
but it has some dirt and leaves on it, which
think will cause it to melt and waste away.
However this may be the last chance better
half loaf than none at all. II.

IT WOULD BE FUNNY we're it not n serious
matter, bat it is fact that we have lost more
subscribers during the past ten days than
VIC have replaced by new ones. 1t may Ike
considered by some, that this is a very in
discreet statement but as we purpose being
the Judge in such matters, such opinions
need not be expressed in our hearing.
As we grow older in the profession, we
learn that all such country publishers IS
strive to please, or that calculate upon the
full appreciation of such strivings, seek to
attain to the impossible. While a poorly
printed and carelessly edited sheet cannot
succeed, yet it does not follow that the i'm.
provement in either or both will be followed
by proportionatc increase in its apprecia-
ton. While our list has had q satisfactory
number of names added and while we arc
perfectly content even with the present
growth of the list, it does not add very ma
terially to our stock of pride to find, even for
short and we trust an accidental period,
that such growth is more than Offset by the
loss of old subscribers Now, this has not
been written as complaint, nor even with
view of exciting sympathy; it has been
written to serve purpose and that purpose
is quite the reverse ofbeing intended for any
such effect.
1t is plain business statement and has
for its object, the ascertainment of our real
strength with our readers for, with the very
best of business reasons we desire to know
just how far we may rely upon the con-
tinued support of our present patrons. The
reasons that could be given, were it deemed
advisable, will become known only is case u
very few subscribers express their intention
of Withdrawing their support and to such as
have such an intention we make the special
request that they inform us at once. Full
knowledge on this point is necessary to US,
in order that our present designs with refer
cnce to THE CLARION may be intelligently
considered

Too MuCH Or lT.-Wc thnk our brother
country editors will agree with us that we
are all too much imposed upon, particularly
about this season of the year, by publishers
wishing favor" notices Of journals, mag
azines, &c, &C. they arc about to start. II
we were to comply with their requests our
papers would be filled with such notices.
The last favor asked of us is from 81 co
monthly magazine, to insert a ytoUr inch read-
ina notice, worth, according to the particular
request, at least five dollars, and for 80 doing
we would receive the S10O monthly. For
our part, we wish these advertisers in the
publishing business TO understand that we
have but little space for such "thankee' jobs.
In our opinion we have been little too
charitable in this respect i'll the past, and
have concluded not to dispense too much Of
