that he Is confident the fair netted
between $5,000 and $10,000.
The New York Ifcrattl made n
net profit of eight hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.duriug the pant year,
and still there are some people who
re afraid to Invest in the newspaper
business, and even think newspaper
men are sometimes poor,
The Chicago Tribune, for a column
of advertising a year, receives $'Jt5,000.
The New York Herald receives for its
lowest-priced column $38,732, and for
Ita highest $584,000. The New York
Tribune for ita lowest $19,704, and for
Its highest $8-5,648, and these papers
are never at a loss for advertisements
to fill their columns. Their patronage
eomea not from any desire to assist the
respective papers, but from business
ueu who find it porfltable to ndver
Use.
Of Interest to Trespassers.
No man has the right to go upon the
premises of another, whether for gun
ning or other purposes, without the
consent or the owner, ana every per
son so doing is a trespasser. Although
It Is custom for persons to enter upon
tne ground or others for the purpose
of fishing, hunting and gunning, yet
they have no right to do it without the
consent of the owner. Being n tres
passer ho must go ofF the premises, if
directed, and must not stand upon
his going. He must move off as fast
ae he can but need not run. If he
refases to go, the owner may use such
force a is necessary to put him off,
even if It result In the injury of the of
fender, but you dare not use more force
than Is absolutely necessary.

The Harrisburg Patriot hns per
formed a commendable historical duty
by compiling n list of governors of the
state of Pennsylvania, from the date
of the adoption of the first constitu
tion, down to the present time. From
this compilation it appears that Robert
E. rattison will be the nineteenth
governor of the stute. The first con
stitution for the government of Penn
sylvania as a state went into effect on
the 2d duy of September, 1700. An
election was held under It the follow
ing month and Thomas Mifflin, of
Philadelphia, who had been president
of the supreme executive council since
October, 1788, was elected, and on the
the 21st day of December, 1790, Inaug
urated as governor In the city of Phila
delphia, "with much ceremony." He
was governor that time until Decem
ber, 1700, n period of nlno years, liav
lug been twice re-elected. Thomas
McKeau, of Chester, who succeeded
Mifflin, was governor from De
cember, 1700, to December, 1808,
like his predecessor, filling the
olllce for three terms. For the next
three terms, or uutil December, 1817,
Simon Snyder, of Union county, was
governor. William Fin ley, of Frank
liu county, was governor from Decern

Joseph Iiitncr, of Washington county

Johnson had been elected in 1848, and
on the third Tuesday of January, 1S49,
was inaugurated and served a full
term, uutil January, l8o2. William
Bigler, of Clearfield county, was gov

Influence of the Soil on Health.
The influence of the soil upon the
health of those living upon It, is
brought out very plainly during the
prevalence ol epidemic-diseases. Tht

which is daily corroborated by letters
from all parts of the country, staling
