July 25, 1873. NT-A letter from Mr. Oket, relating to Constitutional matters, received too late for this issue. It will appear next week. WA little daughter of Mr.

Gotleib Eberlet, of Adams township, aged 5 years, was bitten on the leg, by a snake, on the ult, and died the morning of the 1st inst. The funeral services took place in Woodsfield on the 3d inst. Newcastle. We visited this stirring little town, seven miles east of Woodsfield, on Thursday last. The following gentlemen are engaged in business John Gatchell, merchant, is doing a good business, and has an excellent assortment of goods.

JonN Hoi.lidat, merohaut, has been engaged in the mercantile business for seveial years, and has always held his custom. A. T. Clark, boot and shoe maker, has plenty of work to do. J.

IIurd, boot and shoe maker, is doing well, having all the customers necessary. Findlat WonKMAif is an A. No. 1 blacksmith, and the ring of his hammer can bo heard at all times. F.

Pauley, merchant and cigar manufacturer, is driving a fair business; he has a good stock and will sell upon fair terms. Edward Hoptos keeps the only hotel in the place. G. L. Gillespie, stone mason, is a first rate workman.

"Patent Inside." The publishers of the Democrat, from motives of economy, have deemed it prudent to adopt what is known as a patent inside. As this term is not generally understood we give such in formation as we have been able to gather from Publishers' Circulars. A firm, in Philadelphia for instance. purchase the blank paper and prints one side with such matter as they may select changing the name and form of the paper to suit purchasers. These sheets, half printed, are sold to the publishers of newspapers in quantities to suit, at from ten to twenty per cent, above the cost of the blank paper, and are therefore a great saving to the publishers who use them.

They can be printed thus cheaply be cause the same matter is used for print ing perhaps fifty or a hundred different insides or outsides, as the case may be. Thus once setting the type answers in stead of fifty or a hundred. In addi tion to tins the rinladelphia firm re serves a certain per cent of the space which it sells to advertisers, and thus makes a profit out of the transaction, while materially reducing the cost of printing $to such publishers as prefer this method to editing and printing both 6ides of their paper at a greater expense.
