Some items are not sufficiently inter- esting, For instance, it is not of inter- est to all to know that a certaireyoung men spent Sunday'evening at a certain home This is a case which interests two only,and in fact, is not repotted OS a matter of news at all, but sunply nes a 'Wive". Then again, items are sent in that. so and so visited so and so on Sunday, when only a half mile divides them.
