NEW OXFORD, PA. FRIDAV EVENING, MAY 27, 1898. News a Crime. It is a well taken point that theie should be severe penalties imposed for the circulation ot false reports relating to the war.News oi a disaster may be used to influence the markets, or create a demand for newspapers, and, whether true or not, may serve well the selfish motives which set it afloat. This manner of crying ''wolf! waif!" does not work out according to the fable, hence, if it be possible, it ought to be made a high crime, particularly when uttered by reputable carriers and publishers oi news, like telegraph companies and newspapers.

The reported total loss of a vessel may inflict untold misery, in a very brief time, which, even the contradic lion of the report does not repair. It must be remembered that hundreds of souls are on these ships, each of which has family ties of some kind on land, to whom a knowledge of their death or injury must cause great distress. That anyone, for gam or notoriety, should so be allowed to play lightly with the hearts of parent, wives and friends, is not to be admitted for an instant, and the offense should be criminal. Unfortuately, news is often carelessly and non- maliciously garbled; for instance, a spoken or written word may be misunderstood for another; or, an addition be made which slightly changes the sense, followed by another and another in the same line, until the orig- al is unrecognizable. The sweetness of peddling news undoubtedly leads to its manufacture; the ordinary is made extraordinary, and the most prosaic morsel is trimmed up to attractiveness, which does not so much matter as long as the ordinary events of life are referred to, but has quite a different significance when applied to matters of life and death.

Hard tack for our army, of which thousands of pounds have been made, has the the Maine," stamped on each piece.

Dorsey Stauffer, a well-known farmer of Frederick county, was killed by a stroke oi lightning Thursday evening two miles from his home, near Woodsboro'.

For some years past some of the back streets and alleys about town have been left in a most deploiable, filthy condition, caused by almost every kind of rubbish. beirig thrown in them, and at other places the drainage is inadequate to carry off the waste water. Such a condition of affairs should not be allowed to exist in this town. This is a question of vital interest to every citizen of this place. The Centre Square and the main streets are admired by all strangers, but as a travel- ling salesman remarked a short time ago the town reminded him of a careless housekeeper "The centre of the room is swept clean while the corners are neglected and the cobwebs left hanging upon the walls."
