Obey this direction, and you hare, per-' haps, the very beat principies oipoa which a food model newspaper should be con? ducted. It is to embody the fros event. It is not to indulge ia picking vp random 3 reporta, for which there is nb good , an? thority, or if so, it is to warn readers against a too ready credence 'gWen to rumor; and it is to weigh the rumor so cording to a just judgment upon its in? herent probabilities. It is lo sift events, so ss to settle certainly what is true and proper is th**n, sad upon these it is to de? liver a just judgment.

Certainly, it is a great desi gained towards the acquisition of a trea? sure, to know exactly where it lies. Cu? riosity needs a clue only to begin the search.
