A HOME THRUST.

Nearly all States have laws requir-
ing Banks, Insurance Companies and
Corporations generally, to regularly
make affidavit of their condition, to
protect their patrons. Who brought
about the enactment of these and
similar laws? The newspapers! and
yet, when defrauded newspaper adj
vertisers even hint at similar law to
protect them, the 0ste,as:6ly offended
tricky newspaper publisher declares
it is beneath the dignity of his "no-
BILE profession" to swear, as though
swearing to the truth can hurt any,
body. Stand from under, We tricky
publishers, for "truth is mighty and
will prevail. "-P Philadelphia Agents.
Herald.
We once heard an eminent ~ law
yer say that there was point in law
at which justice demanded mercy
from the prosecution. The same point
is reached somewhere in the newspa-
per business, and about as near as we
can get at it, this point is where a
newspaper has only small circula-
ton and claims large one which 1t is
not able to prove. In view of these
facts, the agents Herald is persuing our
esteemed Martinsburg contemporaries
with " fiendish" hate, aud should
let up and show little mercy.

PROVING CIRCULATION.

Whenever newspapers reach large
circulation they at once hasten to
prove it by affidavit. What better

that papers should always prove their
circulation, is needed ?-Phila. Her.
aid.
The Philadelphia Agents. Herald
has long been waging war against
newspapers that defraud the adver-
tiser by claiming larger circulation
than actually possessed. Newspaper
advertising is valuable in proportion
to the number of people who read the
paper. A paper with 500 subscribers,
it is plain, is worth to advertise in
just half as much as paper with 1000
subscribers. All the betting and bus
tering about circulation is simply re-
sorted to in order to conceal the real
circulation. We have made affidavit
to circulation of over 100, and our
lists, printed in regular Post office
order, are open upon our table for the
inspection of all who wish to see
for themselves. We are safe in say.
ing that no other paper in town dare
make affidavit to over 900 bona .tfde
subscribers-men who take the paper,
want the paper and pay for it,-and
show the list with date of payment to
the public. Our issue of Nov. Sth
reached 1900 copies, over 100 papers
having been taken by persons who
wished to preserve the account of Mr..
Faulkner's death and burial, and

day of national thanksgiving A land
without patriots is land without home,
without liberty, without sons, without
heroic deed, without life, without a flu
ture. This day appeals to the patriotism
of the people. 1t touches the heart, calls
to thoughtful contemplation of our good
ly heritage as citizens. summons us away
from the local and trivial to the general
and appeals to us as equally favored citi-
zens of a common country.
But more 1t summons us to recog-
milton of God as our common Father, as
our countrys defender and benefactor.
The truest patriot is he who recognizes
God in his country history, sees Provi-
dence in her prosperity. and as citizen
renders devout thanks to the King of
Kings. Who is most loyal to his God is
most loyal to his country, and to day in
sincere Thanksgiving to God we exercise
the highest act of a patriot.
But must not Heaven look with favor
upon the assemblies of worshipers thro :
out this land this day When Israel for
got God, she fell prey to internal dis
sension, to Egypt, Syria or Babylon But
as long as she recognized God as her king
her enemies were powerless against her.
Peace reigned within; her fields, or
SAAN@A
Gus abundance her borders were en-
larged, and her glory was the envy of
nations. This day faithfully observed
inspires hope for the future, and is one
of the strongest pledges for the perpetu-
alton of our free institutions and of God 8
continued favor.
We should therefore be thankful for
this day of National Thanksgiving.
The manner of thanksgiving was illus
trated and enforced by allusion to certain
associations of the feast of Tabernacles
among the Jews, and shown to involve
confession, conservation and charity.
In conclusion, allusion was made to
those who by reason of domestic sorrow
or other affection, may feel that they are
denied a true Thanksgiving day. The heart
is heavy the home lonely life is silent
and solitary. Yet God rules, Christ is
still yours. Yea, sometimes God S best
gift is the gift of strrow. The sweetest
of all songs is the song in the night
Many of the loveliest songs of peace and
trust sung by Gods children in this
world, have been taught in the darkened
chambers of sorrow. blessed is he who
can sing thus this Thanksgiving Day

CHEAP WATCHES.-SOme broken
down newspapers throughout the
country are offering cheap watches as
an inducement to subscribers. That
none of our readers may be deceived,
we will show them what the watch is,
as the Waterbury Watch Co. does not
seek to impose upon the public, but
admits that it is the cheapest in the
world. Page II of little book of the
Waterbury Watch Co., says: We
guarantee all watches to have been
run at least six consecutive days in
varying positions, and carefully regu-
lated, before leaving factory. None
are allowed togo out that do not come
up to standard. No one has any du-
MOrity to guarantee anything more or
anything different than the ADORE. Page
II: Be sure and wind until the stop
work acts, then the watch is fully
wound. Ifrun down, it will take about
two minutes to wind. A party in
the West writes us: There is way
of winding the Waterbury which
takes no time at all, viz, to give the
crown few turns whenever you have
occasion to look at it during the day,
and thus unconsciously your watch is
always wound up" The ,catch a0ul
not start itself. After winding, to start
the watch. hold it between the thumb
and fingers of the right hand, and
give it a slight rocking motion by turn
ing the wrist. Page rs: Please bear
in mind that we can repair only Water
bury Watches; that we can make no
use of a Second-h hand" or worn Wa
terbury watch. and that under no
circumstances will we allow anything
on such watches in exchange for new
ones. They can be bought for $2t q
dozen and are not sold wholesale in
less than dozen lots. They can be
bought at Messman's for 81 rs but
are not kept in stock. They are given
as prizes with tobacco, &C., and run
down newspapers which would make
a watch 81 and the newspaper 81 %.
These facts are given for the protec-
ton of our readers against being de-
ceived and imposed upon. Ask your
jeweler about the cost of repairing
cheap watches?

STRANGE VIsIToRs.-Two ferrets
mysteriously made their appearance
at the Hannis Distillery on Friday
night last, and spread double shotted
terror among the colony of rats that
had so long held undisputed sway on
the premises. The night Waterman
says that he was considerably surpris-
ed on Friday night, by an unusual COM
motion among the rats which he
could not account for, but in the morn
ing one of the little animals was seen
to run under one of the hog pens, and
in few moments the roof was filled
with rats scampering in every direc-
ton. They will prove great bless
ing. The mystery is, however, where
the little fellows came from and how
they got here. The most plausible
theory is that they were brought to
the distillery in car load of grain
