This we JUg oar readers: the GA- tacrrf never publishes local informa- r.bon it has established Its truth at the mouth -reliable witnesses; and even news from neighboring towns must also be substantiated. Th. GAZ aim is to give no news except comes to It at first hand.

Last night was one ot the good nights for sleep and sweet dreams.

one swallow don't make a summer, and one cool night don't bring frost So let not our farmer friends take fear of this visitant keep them awake nights. No amount of vigilance could possibly prevent Jack Frost from coming when he makes np his mind to do so; but he don't usually make np his mind so early as this. He usually Insists upoi a number of coolish nights, each getting cooler and cooler before he steps in and walks around, and he usually insists upun waiting until September. city not an hundred miles away evidently resolved not to lose any art! cle of local news, has items sometimes that are Btartlingly Interesting; as for Instance, "Mr. Smith (the names are fictitious) greatly enjoyed his dinner yes terday." Here's another, "Jlmmle Brown took a drive about town yester day." "Miss Peters 'called on Mist Jones Wednesday and saysshe enjoyec the visit very much." "Bobbie Smith expects to go fishing tomorrow, it the weather is good." And much more the same sort The GAZETTE has to plead guilty to Inserting much "loca news" that is not of a startling, or historic natnre, but it that It does not load Its readers with that kind of feathery nothingnesi above quoted.

The other asked eagerly why what?

Take him off his guard as this ma I just called your attention, to aa passed, i' Had he noticed yon or me, would have brightened up at once, an his face would have told nothing; bu he was not conscious of our presence he was absorbed In his trouble. I kno I am right" True enough; within month they both verified the correctness of the readlngof that face. Man' pride will force him to act apart so Ion as he is observed; alone, his face, 's truly a mirror ot the soul, will, to us vernacular of slang) "give him dead away."
