II is little amusing to a news
paper man sometimes, to witness
the squirming induced by the pub
lication of plain, unvarnished
statement, necessary in mere local
news item. The party imagining
himself aggrieved, rushes at the man
Of pen, shears and paste-pot, with
blood in his eyes, and thunder be-
tween his teeth, notwithstanding
the well known fact that the editor
has no bias either way, and merely
acted in his capacity as vender Of
news. And it may not be out of
place to here state that those who
do the least for a paper, and who
affect to ignore or despise its influ-
ence are the first ones to set up q
howl, il the paper Inadvertently
mentions them in a manner they
consider derogatory to their well
being or interest. Scranton Pio-
