Death mt Jssesh Tarner. 1 Kent special dated the 13th to the Leader says Joseph Turner, of the well-known firm of Joseph Tur ner Sons, died In Kent to-day at 2 m. He had beeu sick about one month with a complicated disease of the brain, heart and lungs, and while much of the time life was despired of his death was not expected so soon. lie was born at Uawortb, England, October 20, 1827. His life has been a busy and successful one.

Engaging largely iu the alpaca and wooL busi ness In Bradford, England, until Au-1! gust, 1S73. he came to America, and the firm ot Hall Turner was established at Jamestown. Abont one year ago he, with his sons, engaged in the manufacture of alpaca goods at Kent. Joseph Turner was an uncomprom ising friend of the Union during the war, a stalwart Republican in Ameri ca, a prompt, thorough man in busi ness, whose word was law, and whose will in executing his purposes stood against the world.

A Cleveland special of the 12th Inst. to the Enquirer, says "This morn- ingWilliamD.Leffingwell was brought ato Justice Peck's Court on a warrant charging him with bastardy. The complaining witness is a woman who has obtained a little notoriety. She is Naomi J.

Bently, and some two years ago was housekeeper for Theodore Stafford, who is a highly-respectable. church-going citizen, living on Wood- laud Hills Uurine her stay In Stafford's 'house she obtained a di vorce from her husband, and shortly afterward brought suit against Stafford for breach of promise of marriage. This suit was kept as quiet as possible, owing to the fact that nothing like cri urinal intercourse was charged and the standing in society which Stafford enjoyed. Naomi obtained a judgment iu her suit against Stafford for $1,500, which the Court cut down to $1,000. Leffingwell made it all right by marrying the woman at noon to day." i The country press have a hard time of it.

They suffer more from senseless legislation than any other branch of business extant. The proposition of Representative Allen as embodied in his proposed bill toestablish the rate for legal advertising lacks every essential of fairness. A time when everything that outers into the make up of a paper has advanced 40 per cent. Is not the proper date to reduce by the severe cut of 40 per cent, the rate of legal advertising. If a cut must be made to give reputation to reformers there should be reason and sense in the measure.

No busidess man will say or claim that arbitrary reductions of 40 per cent, are not hard ships to any business, The bill should be amended very decidedly. Marion Mirror.
