The Brodefiek-Terry Duel.
In accordance with the anticipations of most
of the community, the expected duel between
the lion. David 0. Broderick, United Stales
Senator from California, and the lion. David
S. Terry, Judge of tho Supreme Court, took
place yesterday morning at a small dell or val
ley some two miles distant from Merced Lake.
In-our issue of yesterday', we informed ourTea
ders of the challenge from Judge Terry, the at
tempted duel, the interruption by the police, the
examination before Police Judge Coon, and the
discharge of the parties on the ground that no
offence had yet been committed. . Wo now pro
pose to detail the subsequent circumstances.;—
The parlies went out 6f. town immediately,'af
ter the decision, and passed the night in sepa
rate localities, cadi preparing for the inevitable
event of the morrow. Mr. Broderick was at
the Lake House, and slept there. Meantime,
the town had been i greatly.excited all through
Monday evening, and at an early hour yester
day morning, hundreds were on the jtn vive,
anxious to witness theTcnConfro ; for a duel be
tween a United States, Senator and a State Su
premo Judge yeas no ordinary occurrence, arid,
independent of this fact, the large number of
personal and party friends and adherents of
each made it a matter of unusual importance.—
Sinbe the days of the Vigilance Committee, noth
ing equalling this in its effect upon all minds
has transpired in San Francisco.
THE DUELING . ... .
Vehicles of all kinds were chartered lo bear
the curious to the ground. That ground, it
seems, was not yet generally known ; so,many
changes had been made that few, if any, were
aware of its looation. The instinct, however,
which draws the vultures to the feast, led each
and all lo the place. This was in a small val
ley, some two hundred yards in extent. To
reach this place it was necessary to pass out
over the, great county road towards San Jose,
and turning oft at the Lake House road, make
the detour of the lake, whence a circuitous by
path led to the ground. A small wooden frame
building was passed on the right, then a boun
dary fence, then another fence and a gate, be
yond which lay the scene of the duel. This
was about ten miles from the city. It was a
small valley surrounded by low hammocks or
hills; the soil, sandy us is the case with all that
region, and producing a low scrub brush. It
was sheltered from the winds, and as secluded
as could be desired. Hither the buggies gath
ered one after another, until some twenty were
there—containing, by actual count, sixty seven
persons in all. The sun rose clear in a bright
blue sky, and illuminated the scene with his
cheerful rays as if ip, mockery of the bloody
work he was to witness. Little birds hopped
merrily about in the stunted herbage, and,
warmed into life by the beauty of the morning,
chirped blithly and happily their matin songs.
All nature, calm and peaceful, seemed to give
the lie to the violence shortly to be enacted.
At a quarter past six o’clock, Messrs. Brod
erick and Terry arrived on the ground, in their
respective carriages, and attended by their sec
onds and physicians. ■ These were.the same ns
at the previous meeting, viz; Hon. Jr 0. M’-
Kibbeu and Mr. Coulter, (formerly, sheriff of
Siskiyou county,) as seconds for Mr. Broderick,
and Calhoun Bcnbam, and Thomas. Hayes,
Esqrs.-, of this city, seconds for Judge Terry.
Drs. Hamriiond and Aylett were in attendance
as.surgeons for Judge Terry, apd Dr. Loehr for
Air. Broderick.
On descending from their carriages, the par
ties seemed to be in the best of spirits, neither
appearing at all anxious.of nervous ps to the
result. The armorer, Br, Bernard Lngoarde,
of 205 Washington street, proceeded to load the
weapons, (which were eight-inch Belgium pis
tols.) under the inspection of the respective sec
onds. Pending these preliminary operations
the spectators were directed to, withdraw from
the immediate scene of the duel, which they did,
posting themselves upon two hillocks about four
hundred yards distant, where they anxiously
awaited the issue. It was a momentous occa
sion. Here were two of the most prominent
men in California, about to stake their lives
against each other in deadly combat. One or
the other, if not both, it was well known, must
fall. How many hopes, fears, and inward ejac
ulations arose from those anxious groups !
Upon the fate of one. at least, perhaps, hung
the political aspect of the State for years to
come: and with it the power
gift of offices, audio it were allied the fierce
strifes of party, the hates, loves, friendships,
and enmities of thousands. On the other band
was a man occupying the first judicial position
in the State, a man before whoso flat must lull
or stand the legal: decisions of all other courts
in California, and from whose dictum there
could bo no appeal. The issue would raise or
destroy the hopes, wishes, and aspirations ot
great political denominations. We venture to
say that no more momentous issue has ever
pended in California. During these prelimina
ries the respective principals stood apart, each
occupied with his own thoughts.
king their places, each had some conversation

ARRIVAL OP THE DUELISTS.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE. DUEL,
with his second of a private nature—arranging
for the future, doubtless, in case of accident.
MARKING GOT THE GROUND.
■ About half an hour was occupied in these ar
rangements, ■ Ten paces were marked oft and
tested by the seconds, (that being the distance
agreed upon,; and the principals placed in their
relative positions. Their seconds had already
divested them of their outside coats, white col
lars, and other articles which might present
prominent targets upon which to take aim.—
The choice of ground now belonged to Mr.
Broderick, in pursuance of the arrangements of
Monday’s meeting. The two principals were
divested of their watches and the coin in their
pockets. Tno coin taken from Mr. Broderick
his second, Mr. McKibbim, placed in his own
vest pocket; Judge-Terry threw his carelessly
upon the sod. The seconds then proceeded to
examine each other’s man, with the view of
ascertaining whether either had underneath his
clothing any article calculated to afford protec
tion from a bullet. This is usually rather a
matter of form than otherwise. . Mr. Bentiam,
who examined Mr. Broderick, felt his breast,
abdomen, and sides with scrupulous core. Mr.
McKibben, on the contrary, but formally touch
ed the vest of Judge Terry with his hand, bowed
and withdrew.
Onoof the seconds then read aloud the code
ducllofrom a written manuscript, which occu
pied hut a'short lime. Mr. Coulter then ad
dressd the two gentlemen, .saying, in eflcct, that
ho wished to bo' understood that he should
count •• one, two,” after the word “ fire,” after
i which ho should say “stop.” No shot must
be fired after that. During this time the two
'pmlcf'pals maintained their positions, and lis
toned with much composure to these details.—
Judge Terry stood with his head thrown slight
ly back, looking towards his antagonist! Each
held his pistol in his hand, pointed to tho
ground. Each was dressed in black clothes,
and wore a slouched Palo Alto hat. Mr; Brod
erick'stood.erect, but with his head rather down.
Ho pulled tho rim of his hat down about his
eyes, as if to shade them from the'light. The
positions of the two were somewhat different.—
Judge Terry maintained that of a practised du
elist, presenting only tho edge of his person to
his antagonist, and keeping his. left hand and
shoulder well behind him. Mr, Broderick, on
the contrary, though at first assuming a posi
tion somewhat similar to . that of the other,
seemed to prefer a more careless and less con'
strained one, and gradually presented more of
his body to the fire of his opponent. His pistol
he held in his hand rather awkardly, and seem
ing to feel this himself, ho once or twice turned
the wrist of his pistol-arm to the right with his
left hand, as though endeavoring to comply
with.some prescribed direction previously given
him. He took one good look at his antagonist,
ran his eye rapidly along the ground from hi ,n
to his own position, as if drawing a bee line be
tween them. From that lime he did not raise
his eyes until the word was given to fire.—
Once his right foot got a . fraction beyond the
line, wheri Mr. McKibbon stepped forward and
replaced it. '
Both riien were perfectly cool, and manifested
no uneasiness. A malicious rimioiV charaoter
istically malignant, arid os base its it im possible
to conceive, that “Mr. Broderick was nervous,
and iost his presence of mind,” is utterly false.
Not the slightest shade of trepidation marked
his conduct from first to last. The same cou
rageous, adamantine man he has ever shown
himself to. be ho was on this occasion- We have
given the minutest details ol the bearing of
both gentlerneri, that :no mistake may possibly
obtain in this respect. The rumor of Mr.
Broderick’s ’‘nervousness” is utterly false, and
is based upon Iris occasional, motions to observe
those prescribed positions of hand and arm
which his seconds had enjoined upon him.
Tho hearing of Judge Terry, though he assum
ed a more practised and motionless' attitude,
was not one jot more that of an iron-nerved
man than was that of Mr. Broderick. At a
quarter before seven o’clock Mr. Coulter pro
nounced the words—
“Arc you ready ?”
(‘Ready,’ 1 responded Judge Terry, and “rea
dy” was uttered by by Mr. Broderick immedi
ately after. ■_,
“Fire! —one! two!” pronounced in moder
ately quick time.
Air. Broderick raised his pistol, (both wea
.pons were set with, hair triggers,) and had
scarcely brought it to an angle of forty-five de
grees from its downward position, and in a bee
line towards his opponent, when, owing to the
delicacy of,the hair trigger, it was discharged,
the ball entering the ground about four paces
in advance of him. Judge Terry fired a few
instants later, taking deliberate aim. There
was a perceptible interval in the two reports.
At that instant Air. Broderick was observed to
clap his left hand to the right sfgo of his
breast, when it was seen that tyo wa|dTOunded.
Ho reeled slowly to the left; arid beffire his sec
onds could reach him ho fell (ndjlhcavily) to
the ground, with his right leg ddjjuled, pjider
him, and stilly grasping his weapon. Judge
Terry, upon discharging his pistol, immediate
ly folded his arms, holding the pistol slilhsmo
king in his hand, but did not move from his
position. The seconds of Air.’ Broderick in
stantly ran to his aid, and Dr, Behr commenced
to staunch the wound with lint. The bullet
had entered just forward of thonght’nipploand
had lodged, as it was supposed, undef the left
arm. Air. Bonham went over to the other side
and tendered the services «of Dr. Hammond,
which were gladly accepted by Mr. MoKibben.
The spectatorsAvere not allowed round
the fallen gentleman, who was soap after borne
into town in his carriage. . v
AETEII THE DUEL.' * \
Previous' to this,; Judge Terry, with Bis
friends, left the field, and driving rapidly ini*,
town, started at once for North Beach, where a
boat vva’s in waiting, jndprneeded to Oakland,
where he took a to Marti
nez. A telegraphic latelasf
night from that point, states that Judge Terry,
on his arrival at Martinez, found, somo difficul
ty, in getting ferried* across to Benicia. Both
in Martinez and the latter place* nags were
raised at half-mast, caused by the false reports
of Mr. Broderick’s death. On his arrival at
Benicia, Judge Terry took overland conveyance
to Sacramento. - ~
Mr. Broderick was taken in the house of his
friend, Leonidas Haskell, Esq., at Black Point,
nearly two miles from the Plaza, and was seat
ed in a bed with his face towards the bay, and
propped up with pillows. Here Drs. Loehr,
Sawyer, and Rowell attended on him , during
the day. and hundreds of the friends of the Sen
ator hurried out to learn the worst. There ap
peared little likelihood of his recovering. Ho
was able to speak during the afternoon, but
owing to the wounding of his lungs, the articu
lation was generally indistinct and unintelligi
ble. The internal bleeding caused intense pain
and a sufiooating sensation, '
In town the excitement exceeded anything
we have known for some years. Conflicting
rumors were, constantly brought in—somo that
Mr. Broderick was dying, and one was received
that he was already dead, which was poshed on
the various bulletin boards. Ibis was soon
contradicted. Montgomery street was crowd
ed with anxious inquirers. But one sentiment
animated all hearts, and that was of profound

sorrow. It was as if some calamity had fallen
upon the city. Judge Terry has resigned his
office: but though this is not corroborated by
any facts in our possession, it seems probable,
from the fact that the Sacramento Bee stated
last week that Judge Terry had tendered his
resignation to Governor Weller seveial days be
fore.
HOW MR. BRODERICK LOST BIS SHOT.
The circumstance of Mr. Broderick’s losing
his shot is accounted for in the fact that the*
choice of weapons fell to Judge Terry, who. se
lected his own duelling pistols. These have the
hair trigger so sensitively set that a sudden
jerk of the weapon serves to cause its discharge.
Mr. Broderick had never used nor seen these
weapons, and. by the slightest touch of his lin
ger, produced the discharge. A similar cause
produced the accident which occurred to Henry
Olay, in'his famous duel with John Randolph.
DEATH OP SENATOR BRODERICK—PEELING IN
THE CITY. i ’ -
[From the San FranciscolluUclin, Sept, 16.]'.
Senator DaVid C. Broderick died this morning
at twenty minutes past hineo'clock. The event
has cast a deep gloom of sadness over the city
and all the citizens;, those who were political
enemies; as well sis friends, join in the. general
expression of sorrow. The melancholy occur
rence has, indeed, more paofotindly moved the
community than any other public misfortune,
for several years; for whatever may have been
the political faults of the deceased, np man had
warmer personal friends. : In the great .battle
which he succcssluily fought in the political
campaighs of the last few years, and in the
multitude of the conflicting'interests which be
came matters of public excitement during his
career, it was natural that he should have reso
lute, and indeed bitter opponents; but iu,his
death, all causes of enmity arc buried; his
faults are forgotten for the moment, and only
his manly qualities, his remarkable. rise from
the ranks' of labor, the determined stand he
made in the U; Si Senate against the'Adminis
tration, the indomitable energy of thb man, arc
remembered. ■
Over the whole city there is blit ofle topic of
conversation, and in every quarter the words of
regret are the Same. The favorably .report of
Mr. Broderick’s condition, duringayesterday
and this morning, gave rise to hopes that he
would live; but when the .announcement of his
death flew from niouth to mouth,ijhe public
mind was deeply moved, and the calamity, to
the exclusion of everything else, was the solo
thing spoken of.
When our paper went to press yesterday, the
hope of Mr. Broderick’s surviving was quite
encouraging. His friends were quite sanguine,
and although little assurance could bo gathered
from his physicians, yet the fact that the woun
ded man was resting easier, and experienced
less.pain,was accepted as a favorable symp
tom. During the afternoonl-he,(passed consid
erable quantities of blood thropgh his bowels,
and appeared to be further rcliffeed', and up to
nine o’clock lastfcvcning his flt^dsiwere, exul
tant at tho.prdspeots of ’ , :

The wounded man conlinuifel' in estate of
semi-consciousness, and it was Vet until nine
o’clock last evening that any iihjihediate appre
hensions of the result arose. About that hour,
however, a decided change for the wdrse.oc
curred, and it became evident that he was rap
idly failing. About 11 oclook? he suffered se
vere pain, sufficient to produce several violent
convulsions, which, in his weakened state,
greatly prostrated him.
Although Mr. Broderick subsequently ap
peared, free from pain, hia exemption from suf.
feringwas undoubtedly owing to tho lethargy
that preceded dissolution. lie retained his
consciousness palpably until this morning at 1
o’clock, but his last moments of reason appear
to have faded in the next hour,and by hall past
2 o’clock he ceased to take cognijjin’co of his
friends and gradually sank under tho hand of
death. At precisely twenty minutes past nine
o’clock this forenoon he breathed hia last, hav- 1
ing been imperceptible lor quite two hours pre

moment of his decease, exhausting all the means

been,with him during his suffering, nod his dy
ing momontsonly-appear to have strengthened
the devotion commanded by him while living. ■
. DYING IMPRESSIONS.
Prom tho friends who attended the b*side of
Mr. Broderick from the time ho, was wpunded
until his decease, wo cannot loam that ho was
at any time sufficiently conscious to permit of
his. speaking decidedly of his situation, or of
the circumstances which brought ituboijf. Por
the greater portion of tiio seventy-four hours
during which ho lived after receiving the fatal
shot, ho has; been under the inftyonco appli
cations administered for his relief,jfnd which
prevented tho full-exercise Of his mcfttal pow
ers. .- t ' .
•Ho would occasionally give utterance to in
coherent expressions, and deprepatCd the inter*
ferenco caused by tlic police on the day of the
first meeting. His mind wasovidenfly harrasaed
with the idea (Hat ho laid prematurely fallen a
victim to unrelenting political animosities, and
that, standing in the path of his'adversaries,-he
had been doomed to Without be
lieving that there was any.fo*! conspiracy
among his enemies to kill him, no man could
have so provoked thorn as ho. has done in the
late canvass, without subjecting himself to their
most deadly hostility, ft appealed to bo a com
mon belief amoiig those who rScogmso the code,
that he had lo fight them all. Perhaps not m
detail, peihaps not one after another, hut when
ho presented his breast to the pistol of lorry, it
would seem ho braved the whole concentre ed
hate ot those who felt aggrieved byhis attacks.
Few doubted that if he had escaped that issue,
ho would, have boon left unmolested by others.
Such appear to have been his own dying con
victions, and although ho was conscious of the
feelings of hla adversaries, hp ,seems, to have
succumbed under tho belief at last, that m his
own person, cither by Terry, or some one else,
ho was to bo made a sacrifice of.

FUNERAL OF SENATOR BRODERICK.
[From the San Francisco Bulletin .]
The funeral of Senator Broderick took place
on Sunday, the 18th inst., and was one of the
most imposing spectacles. ever witnessed in
California. The hour fixed for the solemn rites
was half past 1 o’clock P. M., when the funeral
oration of Col. E. D. Baker was to bo delivered
on the Plaza; but long before (hat time the
square, all the streets about it, the windows,
balconies, and roofs, and the roofs of distant
houses,, wherever a view could bo obtained,
were crowded with spectators, many of them
ladies. The numbers were variously estimated
from live to ton thousand; such a mass as has
seldom over previously gathered in .San Fran
cisco. . . ,
At the upper portion of the square, about the
foot of the flag-staff, was erected a stand (or the
speaker. It was covered with black, witli fes
toons and mourning wreaths. There wore seats
behind tire speaker’s place for the pall-bearers
and nearest friends; and, in front of the speak
er, a low bier for the remains, over which the
oration was to bo pronounced. In view of
these preparations and the melancholy occasion
which gave rise to them, a profound silence
reigned over all that vast assemblage; not a
word was heard, not a noise disturbed the sol
emnity of the scene; nothing but the low and
muffled tread of the multitude as they moved up
towards the stand.
At precisely half past one o’clock, a way was
cleared, from the front of the Union Hotel,
whore the body had reposed in state, to the
stand on the Plaza. The cofiin was then borne
forth, and all eyes were directed to its progress
up the solemn aisle which was made among the
crowds of citizens. The cofiin was an iron one.
It was .orname.nted witli wreaths of laurels .and
flowers. The pall-bearers, some twenty or thir
ty in'number,-consisted,of the most intimate,
personal friends of the deceased. ■ In front of
those, keeping the way clear, was the Grand
Marshal, John Middleton, and his aids—seven
in. number—all these on horseback. As the
- body- (n<vv<>U op ihv .i.’J.-iza/iho Hne_of: citizens
closed iif behind' It. TlieAuUhins'Were-borne:
to the stand and placed upon the platform; and
the people crowded up around it. A fooling
oration was then delivered by Col. E.D. Baker;
after which fhoAoflin was placed in the hearse,
and escorted, by thousands to. the spot where
now reposo the remains of Senator Broderick.
Challenge to HI. Blontlin 'by a local Editor.

the MqKeam Citizen throws out the following
laughable challenge to Blondih:—A single tel

directly over the cataract of Niagara Falls. —
The “ Local” of this paper wearing a pair of
cowhide boots, and dressed in the costume of a
female Dutch cook, will proceed to the middle
of the wire, with a common clay pipe ns a bal
ancinj; pole, driving before him a hog and cow,
carrying bn his back a cooking stove, a couple
of chickens, a bed and bedding, a bottle of
Young’s Y; P. M., a keg of lager beer, a bar
[ ber’s chair, and various cooking utensils. Ho
will then unload himself and immediately go to |
bed. • ’W
After a snooze of fifteen minutes ho will rise,
dresS himself, tak»a. gloss of beer, milk the
cow, kill.’thc hog and'dress it, cook fresh pork
for breakfast, after which he will then throw
one hundred and thirty summersaults, sucking
an egg while in the air, at each revolution,
alighting the last time on the tip of the chicken
coop, and after having taken the chickens out
one at a time and wrung their necks consecu
tivelyi.will balance the coop on the tip end of
his nose, balance the bedstead on his right hand
and thumb, balance the cooking stove on his
left thumb, at ihp same'time finishing the beer,
and making a Dutch speech to 'the admiring
crowds on either shore. After which —after
the manner of North’s celebrated one horse act
—the Local” will perform the one cow act.
The foreman of this paper will then come
out on the wire, blindfolded and shackled, wal
king on his hands. Then there will be a repre
sentation of Ileenan and Morrissy’s prize light,
in which the “ Local” and foreman will ex
change sundry knocks and kicks and black
eyes. : The last scene will be, both parties stan

AT §2,00 PER ANNUM
Private Morals of Public Men.
“ Amingo,” a writer in the San Andreas In
dependent, discusses an important question in
an able manner. Frequently it is urged that
the private morals of public men have nothing
to do with their public life, and that .the consti
tuency of all such have no right to discuss the
, former to the prejudice of the latter. From
such a fearful doctrine an intelligent public
will loudly dissent. The people who make up
the body politic have life-long interests staked
on the question of public servants; and especi
ally is this so where every man is an individual
sovereign. All the past is'propcrly summoned
up as a test andjtcale of how far it will do to
repose confidence and respect in the future- —
Private integrity is alone the guarantee of pub
lie virtue. After Demosthenes had betrayed
Athens by the bribe of a golden cup, could
Athens confide hi his after virtues? Could she
exalt him to the highest honor in her gift,
though his eloquence were more than mortal,
and his genius without compeer? Or should
Athens overlook the corruptions which tarnish
cd their orator’s fame and name ? No height
of public place, no span of genius could save
Lord Bacon from the execrations and infamy
due to his public and private crimes—justly
was he overwhelmed and cngulphed by them.
The creator’s of positions of either local or na
tional character, properly, scrutinize them the
more closely, as they are the more important
and responsible. The higher the position oc
cupied or aspired to, in public or in private
life, the keener should be the scrutiny. The
Press and the great people have everything to
do with the lives and morals of men who seek
to be their public representatives and govern
ment executors. The men of profliagate pri
vate life cannot, with a shadow of reasonable
ness, be expected, however masterly his talents,
to be virtuous and upright, patriotic and firm,
simply because elevated ton place of trust.—
The virtues of a private life wilhaccompany its
possessor into the great heart of public morals.
Nero and Caligula are speaking examples Of
this last assertion. Their atrocious moralin
stinots spurred them on their fiend-like career.
Marat’s tact and talent saved him not from be
ing a very fiend and brute in his moral nature.
While, on the contrary, the people arc always
safe and prosperous when they elevate to posi
tion and power such men as Fabt'lous and Cin
cinnatus—men whose moral mirror reflects the
guaranty of their public virtues.”
The Popular Cubed. —A'poor man is not
Of much account in’ tho world these “fast' 1
limes. There is a magic in . the jingle of tho
almighty dollar which is irresistible, and if a
man only has "a, pocket full of rocks”—no
matter how obtained, whether by robbing the
widow and orphan, swindling Jus neighbors,
or filching from the public treasury —he is pro
nounced all right, and passes current every
where. The question is not, “ how-'did he get
ill” but, “has he got it?” It used to bo
that “ worth made tho manV! but in, these
latter days, “ wealth makes the man, the want
of it the fellow.” A wealthy scoundrel is hon
ored socially, religiously and politically, and
est poor man is rudely thrust aside,' and obliged
to lake a “ hack seat.” Tho popular creed of
the day is
olates and dollars! dollars and dimes! ~
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes!
If a man is down give him a thrust—
Trample tho beggar into the dust!
Presumptuous poverty ’s quite appalling-
Kriook him over! Kick him for falling I
If a man is up, oh, lift him higher!
Your soul’s for sale, and he’s a buyer;
Dimes and dollars! dollars and dimes !
An empty pocket’s the worst of crimes !
Wirr Don’t You Learn A Trade ?—This
question was propounded, in our hearing, a few
1 days since, to a young ttmn who had been for
several months unsuccessfully seeking employ
ment as a clerk or salesman in some of our lea
ding houses. Complaining of his ill luck, one
of his friends, who knew he had a mechanical
latent, but doubted whether he could make him
self useful either as a clerk nr salesman, put the
interrogatory to him which we have placed as
the caption of this article. The reply was, •• it
is not so respectable as a mercantile occupa
tion.” Under this delusive idea, our stores arc
crowded with young men who have no capacity
for business, and who, because of the fancied re
spectability of doing nothing, waste away their
minority upon salaries which cannot possibly
liquidate their expenditures. Laic, too late in
life, they discover their error, and before they ,
reach the ago of thirty, many of them look with
envy upon the thrifty mechanic whom, in the
days of their boyhood, they were accustomed to
deride.
Noiit,k Deed.— Some years ago, in a quiet
New England village, as a pleasant curly-head
ed bey of about ten summers was crossing a
pasture on his way to ids day’s work, ho saw
something bright upon tho grass; and what
should it bo but a silver dollar! 110 had no
knowledge, how it came there, and no wonder
lis heart beat with joy at finding such a prize.
Jt was his first dollar. Hu did not run home to
toll the glad nows, nor away to a shop to spend
it in cakes and candy, as many little hoys would
have done j but ho wont on and performed Ids
day’s work like a man.
At night'lda mother saw him coming homo
with a smile Upon his face; sho met him at the
door, thinking ho had some good nob s, when ho
opened Ids hand, and behold a now "silver dol.
lar.” “Now,, mother,” said ho, “if you will
give mo the bag, T will go and-buy you some
meal;” and before ho ordered tho bouse ip take
any -refreshments; ho wont away and paid ids
dollar for a bushel ormeul.
You might well expect, the blessing of God
on such a son. It Inis attended Idm, and I
think it ever will. Ho lias carried out tlio same

through life.

■ • Stick to your own paper,- though it may not
be so-large or imposing as some city weekly;
but remember it is the advertiser of your neigh- r
borhood and daily business, and tells you what
is going on around you, instead of a thousand
miles away. If it is not printed on as nice pa
per as the city weeklies, and as good as you
wish to have it, pay your subscription prompt
ly, and get your neighbors to do the same, and
rely upon it, the natural pride of the publisher
will prompt him to improve as fast os -possi
ble.”—Norwalk [Ohio) Experiment.
The above is sound and true doctrine, but-:it
is a lamentable fact that too many men qo’t
upon a different idea and Subscribe for city Re
pels, leaving those of their county to get along
as best they can, with a meagre and insufficient
support. The Qreensburg Democrat says eve
ry intelligent, public spirited, citizen ought to
feci interest enough in the affairs of his own
county papers first: giving it the preference to
which it is justly entitled, because it is delated
to the interests of the county, which arc to p.
greater or less extent his interests. Yet there
are to-day hundreds of intelligent men; who
contribute nothing to the encouragement of
their home presses. There is not one of them,
we presume, who would not acknowledge that
home papers are useful, and outfit to be sus
tained ; but still, if asked to subscribe for oho
of them, his ready excuse is that he cannot
spare the money, or else, that be already takes
a city paper, and cannot afford to take another.
The practice of such persons is inconsistent
with their professions, for, while admitting the
value of homo papers, they neglect to support
them, losing sight of the fact, that if every ono
else acted on the same principle, the country
press would soon cease to have existence.
KD. 19.
Viewing the matter rightly, no’ thrifty, wide
awake farmer, or business man can afford to
do without a good homo paper. Its regular
weekly reports of the markets are alone worth
more than the paper costs him. He has thp
satisfaction, besides, of knowing everything of
interest that transpires in his .own county,
which he can learn from no other source so
readily and reliably. Indeed, if it were not fer
tile county papers, he could not learn the news
of his county at all, though he is a subscriber
to a city paper, for city papers, notwithstand
ing their unwillingness to admit the fact, are--
nevertheless indebted to the country papers for
much of the country news which grace their.’
columns. Then, if there is ahy enterprise un
dertaken for the benefit of the county, it is thq
home press that is always expected to ndvocatq
the project, and stir up public sentiment on
the subject.
Js it not, then, the doty, nu less than the in
terest of every good citiz.fen, to support hotiuj
newspapers? And should not every one, who
is taking a city paper, and not sustaining those
published in his own county, resolve- hereafter
to give home industry and enterprise the pref
