Newspaper Enterprise.

Competition among the newspapers
reporters sometimes leads them into
ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain. A reporter was once sent to re-
port the sermon of celebrated but
very devout and solemn PRESBYTERIAN
clergyman. 1t was the funeral Grafton
of distinguished member of his
church. The reporter did not rise
early enough, and, when he arrived at
the church, the clergyman had finish
ed. Waiting upon him after the SER
vice, he asked the loan of the preach
er's manuscript. The obliging clergy
man took it out of his overcoat pocket
and handed it to the scribe, who, de-
lighted at his easy task, wrote a hasty
introduction, and without further de-
lay went off to spend the Sabbath with
his best girl. 1t was funeral dis
course, the subject of which was a
man well known in the city for his
great piety. sincerity, purity, and
benevolence. Being Sunday, the dis
course got into the printers hands. and
the night editor was Mortified. at its

O"Among his friends and dupes he |
acquired, by persistent hypocrisy, a

means of doleful whine and obtru-

habit that, when on his dcath-bed, and

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, December 2l.-
There have been no new developments
in regard to the entombed miners. A
gang OF sixty men went into the mine
at 6 o'clock this morning aud are push.
ing forward with the utmost eNertion.
The last messenger connected with the
exploring party came out OF the stope
at ! 20 o'clock. lie reports that none
OF the men have as yet been discovered
and all hope OF ever seeing their com.
rades alive again has been abandoned.
They are making vigorous search but
it appears almost certain that the mn
fortunate men have persisted, aud that
when their bodies are found they will
be under a mass Of sand and culm.
AT 80 this afternoon the relief party
is still pushing towards the imprisoned
| men, and have been spurred on by the
