ger train on the Iron Mountain railyo&d
was ditched ji ear Kensftt last ni"hfc.
Crawford, baggage, inaster, was killed
and expressman Brown is supposed to
be mortally injured.
New York, Jan. 10. The steamer
Rhiamendela, which arrived to-day
from Cardiff, reports heavy gales
during the entire passage. On the
7th of December her port bulworks
and stanchions were carried away,
hatches and saloon skylight stove,
and everything movable on deck, in
cluding the binnacles, were washed
overboard. The ship was thrown on
her beam ends, and the cargo shifted.
It was GO hours before the ship was
righted and cargo secured.
Cincinnati, Jan. 10. Heavy snow
storm visited southern Ohio yesterday
extending far south into Kentucky
and on to Richmond, delaying trains
on all roads in that region. There
are some instances of stopping them
entirely. At Blaiysville the snowT is
sixteen inches deep, and drifting to
the depth of five feet. It is the heav
iest storm known for twenty years.

much of their stock.
SpiuNcriELD, III., Jan. 10. The
legislature met at noon to-day and
the governors message was deliverer1.
It designates the resumption of specie
payment ''as one of the grandest
"achievineuts in the financial history
"of the nation, and as an evidence
"of the -wise policy and enormous
"resources of the country."1
aEH'Goods speak for themselves,"
hut it is onlv alivr they are bought that
they can do m. An object in advertis
ing is to induce people to buy them and
test them. Jf goods .stx'ak for them
selves, a good advertisement may alsi
so
speak for the goods.
S"Do hogs pay?" asks an agricul
tural correspondent. We know of some
that don't. They subscribe for a paper,
rend it for a few years for nothing, and
then send it back to the publisher with
the P. M.s inscription, "refused." Such
hojrs as that pay nothing to anybody, if
they can help it
jS&To discriminate between what
is news and what is advertising in an
item is often a difficult task for a pub
lisher. Newspapers, to be on the safe
side, must sharge when the item brings
inoney to others. Such is but justice,
and in compliance with the laws of bus
iness, and without this discrimination a
liuwspaper wjl fail, financially.
