Value OF Home Papers.

The public have little appreciation
of the value of well-conduct-d d local
newspapers, says the Philadelphia
Times. Their offices of beneficence
to the community are so common
that they are uunoted, but none the
less no town or city can advance
without its newspapers are i'll the
forefront of advancement. They
are the life Of the community.
They must lead in every effort to
invite capital, enlarge industries and
enthuse the people in the use of their
advantages.
The local newspaper is the one
newspaper that should command the
patronage of the community. If
only one journal can be taken in n
family it should be the one publish
ell at home.
The local newspapers of Fennsyl-
vauia are the most creditable of any
published in the country, and they
are rapidly growing in prosperity
and power. They hsve done their
part to advance respective sections,
and should ever be remembered that
their usefulness is just commensur-
ate with their patronage.
The local newspaper is the back
bone of the community, and gener-
Gus as is the public appreciation Of
its offices, it merits much more
sympathy and support than it gener-
ally receives.

The following is the programme
for taking the census as laid down
by The Superintendent He has
divided the whole country into l75
districts. There are ten of the dis
tricts in Pennsylvania. For each
district q supervisor will be appoint
ed in January. The duties of a
supervisor are many and varied.
He subdivides his district into enum-
orators divisions. He recon-
mends lists of persons for appoint
meht as enumerators; he scrutinizes
their work and furnishes them their
schedules, and forwards the COM
pleted returns to uperintendent
Porter. An enumerator, as rule
comes into contact with only about
one in seven of the population. He
carries with him schedules of popu-
lation of agriculture, manufactures,
of morality or vital statistics. and
schedules relating to deaf, blind and
| insane, as we'll as of criminals. At
the close of every day of labor lie
must, as has been stated, report by
postal card to his supervisor and TO
Superintendent Porter. The census
will be taken in June. The enum-
orator must perform his work in
fifteen days in the city and thirty
days in the country. Every citizen
is obliged to answer his questions.
OF suffer fine of 500. Next year
several million family schedules will
be distributed in advance of the
enumerator's visits and at many
houses they will find these blanks
already filed out, thus greatly facil-
itating the work. In special cases,
where money is needed for horse
hire and other expenses, an enum-
orator may be paid by the day, mo-.
to exceed Sc. The great body of
enumerators will be paid: For
every living person, two cents; for
every death, two cents; for every
firm, fifteen cents; for each veteran
| or veterans widow, five cents.

A daring attempt was made to
rob the First National Bank of
Bloomsbu.g about noon on Tuesday
of last week. A man walked into
the bank and covering the cashier
j. Z. Tustin. with revolver, de
manded one thousand dollars. The
cashier played with him few minu-
tes and in the meantime Ed. Tustin
who had been unobserved by the
thief, came out of the vault and un-
dertook to get behind the would-be
robber, who thereupon ran out the
door and mounted horse, which he
had previously stolen from the stable
Of z. S. Harman. Flourishing his
revolver he succeeded in gettin 9
away from his pursuers. The horse
was found tied in the woods about
a mile from Bloomsbury but there
was no traces of the rider. A watch,
man is kept on duty now both day
and night. The would-be robbeI
was captured near Danvllle on the
following Wednesday and proved
to be Amos Appleman of Columbia
county. He is now rusticating in
the Bloomsburg Jail.

The liabilities OF Indebtedness Of
Sullivan county according to the
statement prepared by the county
auditors, last week, is 3,90l.29. OF
this amount Of Indebtedness there is
due from the county Treasurer,
Lorah 3,4I. This is a good
showing for the County of Sullivan
and with the lend sales close at
hand will decrease the amount very
materially. Sullivan county should,
and is bound to have new Jail.
Her standing financially justifes the

Trenton New Jersey has produced
the latest sensation. One, in fact,
that has aroused almost as much ex-
citement rs dld the Cronin tragedy.
Mrs. DR.. Kniffen, wife of promin-
ent dentist, was found sutTocated in
her room. Her husband and female
cousin, who 1t is generally supposed
were in love with each other, are
suspected of the crime, for the cir
-cumstances connecting them with
the murder are of very strong kind.
If they are guilty, the probability is
they will go to the halter together
instead of to the alter.
