DAILY LIGHT:
Sheriff James scarborough returned
yesterday from Kansas, bringing with
him Dean Evins, who is wanted in
this county for murder committed in
1888. EvIns was convicted in Kansas
for lunary and it was in this way that
our sheriff found him. He appears
perfectly sane now and talks of his
case very cody. The murder he is
charged with was one of the most
cold blooded ones ever committed in
this county and unless he pleads the
insanity dodge he is extremely likely
to swing.

Knocking noisily every few minutes.
The wind shrielSs through this old
house, rushes through the lantern
with u noise like the shrill whistle
of steamboat foretelling danger,
and even round the doors there Is q
chorus as if an army of fiends were
attacking US. But with all this
against us in the elements, ia my
girish days we had many Jolly
Christmases, for we were a large
family of boys and girls, and liked,
just as / do o-day, the pleasant
giving and receiving of gifts, which
marks the birthday of Christ Now,
with only my brother Rudolph left
we make the day iovial as can be,
and my dinner with its turkey aud
"fxings" of celery and cranberry

SOilte factS concerning thS Ere>s.
From the Boston Traveller.
According to the latest issue of the
Newspaper Directory" there were
no less than 3,4Sl $4,000 copies OF
magazines, papers and periodicals is
sued in thus country, or a number
more than sufficient to afford every
man, woman and child i'm the United
States one paper week for year.
The weekly paper has the largest
general circulation, owing to the
fact that the most OF the country
papers are issued IN this class, and to
the fact that not less than three
fourths of all the periodicals publish
ed in the United States are issued once
q week The monthlies come second,
with II per cent. of the gross publica-
tiOns, and the dailies have 8 per cent.
thus leaving only per cent. for the
semi, monthlies, semi weeklies, quar-
terlies, biweeklies, bi-monthlies and
tri -weeklies. The total number of
periodicals and newspapers published
in single edition throughout the
country Is 45,524 900. The average
circulation of each periodical is 23S5.
Or the total issue, the weeklies have
55 per cent, the monthlies % per cent.
the dailies l6 per cent thus leaving
per cent for all the other classes. The
daily papers throughout the coun-
try issue 6,653,2 copies day.
The greatest number of periodicals
in any one class are those having 500
circulation. OF the total 17,776 peri
odicaIs, IL .ll9 have less than 1000 cir
lation, and only 775 have more than
| 10000. The latter fact is rather as
tonishing at first. From this IL APP
pears that 1872 papers reach one
quarter of the reading public and GAS
second quarter, thus leaving l6,9S5
publications TO divide up the other
half of the reading public among
them, These are interesting, facts,
and, as a reading people, it is evident
that those of the United States stand
first among the nations of the world
