many went away without finding room.

__LOCAL PAPERS.
A large proportion of the people do no
thing to support their local papers, yet
reap the benefit every day of the editor's
work.. A. man will say, ":Advertising
does not pay in business; I have to keep
men on the road, and get my elastomers
by going after them.". And yet the feet
is that the town •in which he does Intel
nem would be unknown, the railroad over
which he ships hie goods would be utt.
built, and he himself would be unheard
of, if it were not for the newspaper, which
he says does him no geed.
The local paper is of advantage to ay
ery!man in the community, and when a
man refuses to contribute to the support
of the pater on the ground that it "does
him no good," he might just as well vs.
NM to pay his taxes for the support of
the courts and the polloo'force, on- the
ground that he never breaks the law :and
does not need any: officers. There are
men who believe themselves tote honest
ani.plous, who are doing basis* in ey
ifroman3uptiy, and every day appiWprlsi.
Mug tip their own ueo the fruits. r, otheX
men's labors by reaping the benefit of the
newspaper without contributing a cent to
ies_supportouei yet they would be terra.
bly shocked- if they should be charged
with stealing wood:biro their !keighPort•
Rut the principle is fait the same, the
only diffmence toeing that in time cam the
law can-reach them, runt in the other it
cannot ; but, morally, it is juit is dishon
est to steal the fruits of your neighbor's
enterprise as to steal his fuel for chickens.
Too much fuel;cannot be gisew tbeiwtak

HERRICKVILLE.
EDITORS R. PORTER :—Tlie farmers of
this place have about finished putting in
their oats, and seem glad to have the
present April shower to start the =grams
and grain. The, extent to which the mea
dows of this county have been destroyed
by - the White grub, is quite alarming.
Farmers do not, 3s a general rule, realize
the amount of damage done—we are quite
within bounds when we say that thous
ands of acres of meadow have been total
ly destroyed, _ which must increase 'the
price of feed for the year to come. Many
farmers are sowing oats on their mead
ows,. some without ever plowing the
grourili, simply using a harrow, the groutid
being honey-combed and .mellow on ac
count of the subterranean travel and dep
redatifins of the pest 'grub. The roots of
the grass being entirely eaten oil, you can
go on the meadows, and with your boot
or hands remove the turf, like taking up
so much carpet:,,
'Dr. A. R. Stevens has a large and in
creasing practic, and seems to be meeting
with good success. The Doctor has been
making extensive improvements on his
residence, besides adding thereto 'a neat
and commodious office. He has a stone
for the.yeranda floor of the office, which.
for sizi,and excels anything we
have keen in Towanda or elsewhere ; it is
a bluestone flag taken front - the famous
Jennings quarry, on the Rummsrfleld
Creek, being thirteen feet long. six feet
Wide, and four inches thick. We WOU
dared bow in the world it was brought to
it present resting place, and were inform
ed by the Doctor that it was drawn by .
Mr. William McKaaina's team up that*
long bard hill by C. :L. *Wevrarts. We
were-not a little surprised to learn that
one team hauled it. If anybody wants
Any heavy hanlding don - % such as moving
An arsenal or, a foundry, they bad , better
go 'for that Sampson -like team :before
warm weather comes on and their manes
are cropped;
Our merchants, Mr. B. Titus apd Mr.
J. J. Anderson, have each received a large
addition to their stock of goods, and ale
now ready to supply their customers with
anything usually kept in a country store.
Mr. James Wetmore is quite busy With
the last and awl.
- Mr. Judson Squires has located his new
steam saw mill on the farm of C. S. Stew
aft, where is to ^saw about one hundred
thousand feet of lumber, part of which is
to be used by Mr. Stowait in building a
fine largo 'barn, and the balance to- be
used by the neighbors generally iu fenc
ing, et.. The mill is convenient itt other
ways, for it is good to blow the farmers
out to work in the morning, and to call
them in to dinner. The few minutes ex
tra in the "nooning" we haie no doubt
will be pleasantly and profitably spent in
reading the RUPQRTER, and- in commt ut
