A County Editor’s Appeal.

[Shenandoah (Va) Democrat.] As the report that we are very wealthy has gone abroad among our subscribers, and has made them awful alow about paying up, thinking that doubtless we don’t want the money, we hasten to say- that the report of our wealth is false in every particular. If ocean steamers were selling at a rent a dozen we couldn’t make the Arst payment on a canoe. The lightning of poverty has struck us square, and had it not been for an armful of hay our devil managed to steal from a blind .mule, our large and Interesting family would be without mouthful to e*t at this moment.*ls not this a sad picture, nod can you, delinquent subscribers, look upon it without feeling the greenbacks rustle with indignation in your popketbooksf We do not like to dun you, but we must if you fail to take the hint.
