VOLUME XTI.

The News IS "sweet sixteen" to-day. It has a host of admirers, yet it is just coquettish enough to try and win many more. It is actually but 15 years old, although Vol. XVI. appears, for the first time, in the heading and lends emphasis to the familiar words, Nulla Testigia Re t,'orsum.
 Newspapers in their teens resemble some young ladies in their teens, by trying to appear older than they really are, but Is years hence The News, as we'll as some who are now young ladies, will doubtless try to palm themselves of as younger than they actually are.
 You can keep The News young, happy and attractive by lending helping hand; by promptly paying your subscriptions; by influencing your neighbors to sub scribe; by giving it your advertising patronage; by frequently furnishing an item; by giving a word of encourage ment; in fact, in many ways you can re- move tare and anxiety from the editors pathway and thus enable him to give you much better paper than he other wise can.
 The News rsturns thanks for the lib eral support 1t has received in the past, especially during the last three years, and 1t will endeayor to merit continu- ance of the same; yes, merit a much larger patronage.

CORNWALL.

The store of H. E. Sanford was en- tered by burglars on Wednesday even ing of last week and about $50 worth of goods stolen, consisting of tobacco, ci- gars and wearing apparel; the carpenter shop of c. W. Marsh was broken open first and the thieves obtained some au- gers, chisels, etc., to use; they tried the store in several places and at last suc- ceeded in forcing off a shutter, and rais- ing the window entered the store. It was evidently the work of local thieves, of which Cornwall IS full at the present time; nearly every night in the week something is stolen; milk Is taken from the milk houses; houses are broken open and small articles taken. This is done by a class of community who are too lazy to work and prefer to steal their living. We think Texas vigilance com mittee would do good in Cornwall.
 Several severe showers passed over this place last Friday night, and they were accompanied by hail, which is quite unusual, as we have never known hail to fall at night in the summer sea. son before.
 The moist weather is just the thing for the strawberry crop and they were never more plenty than now. Beds which last year were supposed to have "run out" have started into life and yield bountifully.
 The selectmen have offered $1OO re ward for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who on the night O. June B committed burglary on the store of Henry E. Sanford.

EVEN so,

My son, there IS nothing on earth so mysteriously funny as newspaper ad- vertisement. The prime, first last, and all the time, object of an advertisement is to draw custom. It is not, was not, and never will be designed for any other purpose. So the merchant waits until the busy season comes and his store Is so full of custom he can't get his hat off and then he rushes to the newspaper office and puts in his adver- tisements. When the dull season gets along and there is no trade and he wants to sell goods so bad he can't pay his rent, he takes out his "ad." That is, some of them do, but occasionally 8 level headed merchant puts in a bigger one and scoops in all the business. - Bridgeport Post.

THE TOY PISTOL.
A Terrillle RlaYfhing.


 Parents as well as children should heed the following timely warning given by The New York Tribune:
 "There is not patriotic citizen be- tween the two oceans who would not scorn to say anything calculated to eclipse the gayety of Young America as he reflects upon the delights of the coming Fourth of July. Still we are constrained to come between our young friends and their anticipations with 8 word of serious advice. Here it is: Be- ware of the toy pistol. The weapon has proved itself for many seasons as dan- gerous as it is fascinating. A lad of thirteen died in Buffalo few days ago from lockjaw resulting from a wound in his hand made by one of hese terrible playthings. It is the familiar story the Illuminating mercury which forms the explosive of the cap appears to have been driven under the skin of the palm, poisoning the system. Let the small boy resolve to, be free and independent of the toy pistol" '- J--
