The LOCAL NEwsPAPER.--So
much has already been written in
favor of the local paper and the
effect it has upon every community,
that very little has been left un-
said; but from the tendency on the
part of the public to lose sight of
the merits of the home paper, it
will bear repeating at regular inter-
walls through the year.
If persons would only consider
the difference between the city paper
and the local paper, in its every
bearing, as they do in price and
general appearance, more support
would be given the paper in their
own county, and there would be no
necessity for a repetition of the
points of differences.
The New York paper, which costs
SO little and is so full of the trials of
aldermanic boodlers and blood
curdling crime, will, during the
twelve months that you take it.
seldom if ever mention the name of
a single individual with whom you
hre acquainted. 1t will never call
Attention to the town or county in
which you reside; its products, its
advantages for new Corners, or it's
special adoption 10 trade or com
'merce. The local paper does all
this and more too. 1t mentions
every product in detail and chal-
lenges comparison. 1t shows the
facilities for manufacturing, and by
its influences causes the erection of
factories and the employment of
home labor and from time to time it
furnishes these manufacturing en-
terprises with gratuitious advertis-
ing obtained nowhere else.
1t does more than this. 1t adver-
tises the place to the world; telling
of its healthfulness, the moral and
religious tone of the community,
the thrift of its citizens, the welcome
extended new Corners, the educa-
tional advantages, the beauty of its
daughters, and the energy of it's
young men. Everything from q
large pumpkin to the erection of a
factory is advertised to the world,
and the place soon becomes known
everywhere for good pumpkins or
factories as the case may be.
Only when a vile murder has
been committed or scandal started
which brings disgrace to commu.
nifty, does the New York paper
mention your county, yet the home
paper chronicles the death of every
loved one, gives notice of every
marriage, publishes everything
complimentary of the place anC
people it can find, and is devoted
exclusively to the community il
which it is published.
If there is any paper in the world
which deserves support it is tn,
home paper, yet there is not another
known institution which gets a.
much abuse and as little pay u,
the local paper.
Every community is measured by
the paper it supports.

We call attention of the ladies
who are using coins to make bangles
and monograms, to the following
extract from the revised statutes of
the United States:
"Every person who fraudulently,
by any act, way or means, defaces,
mutilates, impairs or diminishes,
falsities, scales or lightens the gold
or silver coins which have been or
may be coined at the minis of the
United States or any foreign gold
or silver coins !; x X shall be
imprisoned not more than two years
or fined more than $4,000"
Our jewellers should remember
this when anyone desires them to
make jewelry out of coins.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.

Six Men Killed by Falling Colliery
building Near Mt. Carmel, Pa.
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, June 29.-This
section was uisited by wind and rain
storm of unusual severity. Trees were
uprooted and carried great distance,
while the rain poured down in torrents
and the lightning and thunder were ter
rife. When the storm was at its height
heavy crash was heard above the noise
Of the storm, causing people to flee from
their homes in terror. For time it
was feared that terrible calamity had
taken place in the borough. It was
soon learned, however, that the crash
was caused by the collapse of the Pat
terson Coal compapy's large co2hery,
situated two miles west Of this place.
The structure was new one, and was
rapidly nearing completion. Four slat-
ers, J. NJ. Blossom, Richard Roberts, J.
B. Dobson and William Lodge, from
Shick-Shiny, Pa, were on the roof at
the time of the accident, and were
hurled to the ground, distance of $50
feet, and crushed to jelly by the heavy
imbers falling upon them. Two other
workmen, from Luzerne. Pa, whose
names could not be learned, were also
working in the building, and they
shared the same fate as their compan-
ions. 1t was two hours before the bod
les Of the men could be recovered, owing
to the debris that was heaped upon
them.

Or not it was to be replenished, politely

4 Guiding Rule.

Fix this in your mind as the guiding
principle Of all right, practical labor,
and source of all healthful life energy
that your art is to be the praise of
something you love. 1t may be only
the praise OF q shell or q stone; it may
be the praise of a hero; it may be the
praise of God. Your rank as & living
creature is determined by the height
and breadth Of your love; but be you
small or great, what healthy art is pos
sible to you must be the expression of
your true delight in a real thing better
than your art.-Ruskin.
